Definitely Ukraine has the full right to self defense. Anyone does, and Ukraine was no threat to anybody except to itself. Anyone can help Ukraine, even if it is neutral, since it was attacked and Putin should be ousted asap by the Russians, if they have some decency and pride.. If the Brain Dead West wanted to see the Russian cards,as Witchdoctor wrote, all that was needed was to say loudly and show the card that Ukraine is not a current candidate for Nato. Which was even legally true, go and read the Nato chapter. Who cares what can happen in next decades, Ukraine is not a Nato candidate for long. Putin bluff would have been exposed and the degrees of freedom of the West action would have been much bigger… If Putin had disregarded and attacked, then the cards are in hands of the West.
The clash of two world views or dominants underneath
Has a caveat for the Brain Dead West. Even if it may seem that the Second Dominant is a winning one, there is a caveat. In order to win with this Dominant the West has to sign a new social contract, a new deal between his citizens in order to survive.A new social/ economic contract including everybody.. All classes and walks of life..
Foreword
Russia is the case study in this Witchdoctor thesis. The member of the First Dominant in a huge percentage. Blut und Boden, Blood and Soil, The Mother Russia- always this bloody mother cult and the Totemic beacon mindset when one plans a murder…
It may look too schematic, or even Manichean- the forced simplistic duality- but it is not.The First and Second Dominant are a material force turned into metaphysics. It is purely materialistic with a metaphysics outcome as all human acts are from the beginning of time.. The Humans come out of the womb as a mirror capability sucking slate , not a clean one, genes et all, but they start the role modeling on the existing situation from day one,and that is a material fact, which by inherent human monkey brain damage turns into a metaphysical system of notions and blunders , illusions et all…
Enter. Take this as a simple tool of understanding. It is not perfect, and that is good.
Hmm. There are cultures. Different. Strange or not.
This thesis tries to grasp in a conceptual way the clash of cultures which are always defined by a groupthink mindset which originates amongst a group of inhabitants,forming language, patriarchal rule, ethnic,generated,propelled, twisted,used and abused by the ruling Oligarchy.
There are two dominants in current history trash wave which face each other , or are a mix in various stages of both of them.
BOTH of the dominants are Totemic.
Both Dominants morph from the material- given- and in turn trigger the process of forming of the metaphysical concepts, like the Soul or the Ideas which later turns into the material force. Metaphysical formation of how one constructs “reality” or the outlook of Soul or Ideas on reality formation and its formed perception of what is reality, act in next turn as a Material Force. So, the materialistic boundary turns into metaphysics which forms the Soul and Ideas, which in turn form the perception of reality and so, the human monkey in Italian ilngo, “se la suona e se la canta”, he is the piper and he sings what he plays and viceversa.. A loop situation of reality formation through metaphysics.. Scientific method included, see Feyerabend ” The Conquest of Abundance” and “Philosophy of Nature” books.
The first dominant groupthink is: POSSESION/SOUL generating ,rooted and soil anchored mindset.
The second dominant groupthink is: Market/ IDEAS /Fiat, dematerializing -into fiat substance (like money) and into globalizing- process -of a mindset.
The first dominant, which keeps the roots on a given defined territory through possession of ethnic and language bonds, roots definitely by producing a Genius Loci- the pervading spirit of a place (Merriam Webster dictionary), which can morph into a Tutelary Deity of the place. See human history on that.
This situation morphs into a mindset of metaphysical proportions, and defines a population. This is a possession of roots and the making of the soul of the place and its people. The Culture and the inhabitants gain a Soul. which is Rooted in a mindset through passing of the time.
Definitely the ruling Oligarchy hijacks, uses and abuses such mindset for its own purpose of dominance.
It is a sedentary type of society. Its expansion is from a core out expansion of the empire.
The “Possession and Soul” building of a nation can go through many phases- patriotic, nationalistic, racist , fascist , nazi….
The sequences- evolution from patriotic to racist and nazi is not a necessary evolution , but… it is in the cards.
The First Dominant can be found everywhere, from the people in the Amazonian forest, in New York , in the Bible belt, in Europe rural areas, in the outskirts of Ljubljana, In Witchdoctors home.. In some Italian Genius Loci town…
In the gangs of the Paris Banlieu..
The second dominant of a groupthink mindset is Market/ Ideas/Fiat
Global ,de-rooted groupthink mindset. It works as a current globalist neoliberal model of no specific ethnic , language or any anchored roots. Its members are anybody on the market which produces ideas and fiat and its home is a global community of no specified characteristics, except for the market/ideas/Fiat totemic core, based on the dematerialized mindset and groupthink. It produces , like the other Possession/soul dominant, the same identification but on completely different basis. The Market/Ideas/ Fiat do not cares about race, language or whatever defines a group of people in this terms .It is all about market, ideas and fiat expansion, and nothing about roots, tradition , belonging, Soul.
Peasants, does it sounds chic, the global mindset groupthink?
This market/ideas- fiat guys are nomadic by “nature”and they are going to get you.. and you are going to fight them back….
We are back, biblicaly speaking, in the Cain and Abel parable.
The killing.
It is a war between different dominants. The sedentary and the nomadic.
Now, do you smell here the Russia vs USA,Brain Dead West conflict, maybe?
Witchdoctor does.
The Possession /Soul- Russia, the Russian soul, the atavic -”Atavism derives via French from Latin atavus, meaning “ancestor.” Avus in Latin means “grandfather,” and it’s believed that the at is related to atta, a word for “daddy.” -(Meriam Webster) the Slavic rooting and the logical fear of being uprooted by the Market /ideas Fiat brain dead West search for new market-ideas where to expand?
That was the Putin speech which , definitely for a western ear sounded mad. But , like the Serbs say, so Russians do: where there is a Russian grave, that is or can be Russia. It is blut und boden.Blood and Soil. Nazi stuff.
You may say, but , this Possession/ soul populace are mostly dispossessed, almost serfs to a TZAR or any dictator, and yet…
That is the secret of being rooted in a soil, with a “Soul” growing in your shack.You are a part of something big and ancestral and you are mighty even if you do not have a fresh pair of underwear . You BELONG to. The world around you is defined, for centuries. It is the Tradition which makes sense of You.
Your TZAR is eternal, and your place as a serf is known and that is, life.No fancy Ideas of disturbance. Who wants Market/Ideas/Fiat?. Only the crazy ones. The change is dangerous to your soul. It can kill your Soul or you could be killed for wanting to change it.
The possession is not strictly owning.That is the blunder the West thought when dealing with the First Dominant.. The Possession/ Soul brainwashed populace and its leader do not think STRICTLY in economic (Market /Ideas/Fiat) terms. It is being a part of Mother soil with a chief Father.Being a part and sharing the metaphysics of the soul, which prevails.. You own the rooted local metaphysics and serve as a serf the Soul.
The role modelling of, for ex. Russian citizens, is a thousand years long tale of being dispossessed, being ruled by the iron hand, sent to gulags or killed by famine, or whatever torture and harassment you can imagine. For centuries. The nation building on terror.
And listen, when you ask the Slavic soul, be careful what it really says, like, we do not want war, we just want to live in peace (our shack)…. but then.. slowly it comes out- the roots.
On the other hand, the market/idea is a liquid mindset. Its expansion is more “virulent” and it is not from a root but from the Fiat, Market, Ideas. The core is liquid, hehe, like liquidity of finance. It HAS to expand by Debt. The Market /IDEA/ Fiat Oligarchy ruling is a distant dematerialized rule, no TZAR to be seen on tv screen,and the system is on automatic pilot, you have only choices which are inside the system for its own purpose of growth. The second groupthink and mindset has no community, it is like Margaret Thatcher said. There is no such a thing as society.. it is individuals. No govt has the power or will to house you.
See, house is a root.When you root, you change a little your mindset, This house is a house with a soul,They call it when it is on sale… it is worth more.
The clash of dominants is happening even in the USA, which is the Empire of market/ideas- fiat, global, with no roots as the evolution result of the debt driven economy… See Trump and its followers, exactly the same line of mindset as the First Dominant.They want back the lost “Soul”. Clash is inevitable if the two entrench.
Same goes in Europe with the political right movements, all over the place.
But, the market Ideas Fiat is also a devil. He incorporates all this for the market ideas fiat rule and gives a shit for the rest. At the end, the existing Possession/ Soul followers within, inside the market ideas fiat system and territory,are only a cultural phenomena, which morphs in the attitude towards abortion or gender issues, about which the Second Dominant system gives a shit, or, takes into account as a functional dynamics of no real danger to the system.
Not for the First Dominant system rule, which is based on possession /soul as a founding cornerstone.
The Russian and similar First Dominant territories have an Ortodox church as a helping hand. The Ortodox Church is not an Universalist church as is the Catholic. It is
Autocephalous. It means it is: independent of external and especially patriarchal authority (Merriam Webster). Each church has its own Head- kefalos. It is the pure Possession/Soul metaphysics. The local possession of souls.It Works hand in hand with the TZAR.
But, as somebody said, both Russia and the USA are at the end only two gas and petrol pump stations with the Nuclear Bomb in the garage. That is the real Genius Loci.
Both dominants can be mixed, to an extent. But there is always a prevailing one.
The example of Venice
Venice was a republic, invented and rooted on man made wooden pillars in the lagoon. It was rooted, literally, into the sea. It had a Genius Loci. And it lived on a market/ideas. Mercantilism Empire. But, the income and profits were invested locally, into the circle of republic. It was building its Genius Loci.It has built an Identity. See the architecture.
Today market/ideas- fiat dominant is , as Witchdoctor pointed, a liberation into nothing. The non place, non lieu, Marc Auge. It is a characteristic outcome and one can think whatever, but it is so.
It roams the planet aimlessly and leaves long term disasters.
Like Venice today. It is almost empty, it has lost his inhabitants, there are only 50.0000 today. It has lost its Soul. It is not even a place of Market/Ideas. It is only Fiat. For the Rich Nomads leisure theater of market /Ideas/ Fiat.
You ask, what is the choice? Definitely the war is not one. But, the Oligarchy loves the Creative Destruction, it is even a concept, a method , economy, culture and groupthink!
Both dominants love the creative destruction to re assert their dominant factor, if they win…
They start with a Shock Doctrine….then pursue Disaster Capitalism, and after they are >LIberated into Nothing.
By the way, both systems are Capitalistic, the possession/soul and the Market Ideas Fiat one. Both systems are Oligarchic, in the sense of Jeffrey A. Winters book- Oligarchy. A must read.
But, everybody is entitled to a house and to his ways. That should be the common ground.
But the TZAR is not democratic. Hmmm, here we have a dilemma: is the groupthink which made the Tzar undemocratic or it is the other way around,the russian soul is inherently non democratic, or, it is the TZAR who made it non democratic, or, is this a “working together”? We have to check again the dominants and what they might say..
What about Sleepy Joe?
It is easy to say that he forced the hand. Is the Market /ideas/ Fiat having the same drive as the first dominant? Yes.
It was the globalist groupthink of the Oligarchy of the second dominant that forced the issue?
And here we go, to ex Yugoslavia.
The Second Dominant learned nothing from the conflict.
Serbia played the small Russia role in the conflict with the exactly same Possession/Soul mentality. The Yugoslavia war started, believe it or not, by serbia as a majority demanding that not all langauges in Yugoslavia are completely equal, serbian should be more equal, like eenglish . Also the serbain culture, like literature, should be more important than the others and taught everywhere , but the others no.So the” Soul” was logically spreading and the war was there. OK, it was also a camouflage, a false flag trigger, the attacker wanted more land, as usual.
BUT, What about Cuba missiles crisis, the bay of Pigs? It was the mirror situation. Did the USA learn anything from that?
Who learned what from the Yugoslav conflict?
Nobody.
Who has won, till now?
The Heteregenesis- Heterogony of the Ends , planned or not:
The Fossil economy. They are thinking of opening even the coal electric plants in Europe.
As for Nuclear power, they are all for it, but see what is happening around Chernobil….
The USA. Even the Wall street is cheerful.
The Russians? They can not win.They can make only the nuke war.
All states or territories under the Russian fist serving as a cushion to Mother Russia are failed states. Poor, no perspective, failed economy,people with no security, mafia rule, violence,no passports, no freedom to move,no real health service… But they are there, for decades.
Even Russia is a deliberately poor country and from 2014 , it is on purpose having the local austerity program of no foreign imports or debts , tiny welfare budget, lousy pensions and healt services, no debt, hoarding foreign money reserves and buying little imports… see Loretta Napoleoni on the subject. In fact Russia was preparing for war from 2014. The populace was silent.
Ukraine is paying… terribly.
Europe lost, big time.
The Europe paid the huge price. Willy nilly…
The people in EU paid and are going to pay, even more.
The European Union should DITCH and revoke all Maastricht criteria, fiscal Compact and similar austerity bollocks, ASAP.
IF, not, the way is back into a past of dire straits.
If one wants to be market ideas fiat system of the Second Dominant, the logical outcome is the new social contract.
If not, the First Dominant will take over, and we are in a time reversal.
This is a moment of real Whatever it Takes, the Fiat Money wise, economy wise the Fiat Bomb properly used, not the nuke bomb and arms one. Soft power of market/Ideas / Fiat is only soft by wrong definition. Properly used, it is better and more efficient than arms and nukes. But, the new social contract and new social pact is mandatory and overdue. Nobody is going to do all this for the sake of some technocratic Oligarchy business as usual.DITCH ASAP the fiscal compact and Maastricht criteria and finally start helping people,medim and small business from the BOTTOM UP.
If not, the First Dominant will explode into your face, in your home.
You have to join the dichotomy under the same roof .
LAND GRABBING
From the Spanish Flu to Covid Twenty Two, they were again digging trenches and trampling with tanks the Tchernoziom, Chernozem. The Russians came back again, after they made the Holodomor.
Digging the bunkers in the Black Earth, the most fertile soil in the Europe and the World.
Ukraine is the Tchernoziom , home of black earth . The Ukraine soil
can feed 500 million people.500 million. Currently it is not exploited in modern terms, and it is divided in many small, mostly subsistence economy farms. It is not productive as it could be.Who is going to grab this food business, which can be sold to 500 millions?
The First Dominant and the Second Dominant love to make and produce the Puppet States and dummy governments.
Hmm, what is Totemic doing in this tale?
It is coming…
