In clashes of culture, in clashes of idea, in clashes of venality, authoritarianism is a comfort to many.

Messy worlds always call for the rise and hope of the authoritarian.  Struggles demand order and order comes only when stasis can be reached by some means of an acceptable balance of interests in a given society.  Chaos, threats to established mores, distrust of present power structure, legitimacy of present power structures, aims of present power structures all push for action, retaliation, desired order flowing from desired necessary power.

All power vacuums invite challenges.  Systems who can be open to challenge are wary of any openings to shared power or diminished power.  Conflict breeds lack of order, danger.

Be it here at home, be it in a different world, authoritarianism is always lurking, is always an antidote to uncertainty, lack of acceptable structure.

In clashes of culture, in clashes of idea, in clashes of venality, authoritarianism is a comfort to many.

The double speak of politics, the distrust of meaning …..

The double speak of politics, the distrust of meaning ….

There seems to be little understanding of Western “secular” values amongst those who consider freedom of speech a ploy and a tool to diminish and keep down those that they envision the West seeing as of a lesser bent.

The “secular” values of liberal societies and the traditions and juris prudence they uphold are not envisioned as “holy” values by those  who cannot accept them or the principles upon which they rest.  By some of the West as well.

Conversations on clashes of cultures need be clear upon the divisions, the questions, the need for the mutual respect of those, if any, of good will.  Clarifications and understandings of principle, modes of survival, colors of souls and the choosing to see that which unopened minds cannot may  stumble into a path to follow.

The double speak of politics, the distrust of meaning, views as dialog of warfare, threats to ordered worlds  all hinder conflict resolution.

Any reason flows from acceptable premise.

Law, order, sustenance, these are the tricks of those with the gun.

Law, order, sustenance, these are the tricks of those with the gun.

Should power go to those who understand a structured society, one with a place for every loser, a boss or set of bosses for every rung on the ladder?

Should power go to a society full with valuable strivers who just know that evil lurks in machinations of success and the developments of an order drawn from a market place of idea and economic values?

Power goes where its practitioners take it.  It is inhibited by those who find a way to diminish it, tame it, oppose it.  It is value neutral.  It is there to be managed.

Law. order, sustenance.  These are the desires of the powerless, those of no influence.

Law, order, sustenance, these are the tricks of those with the gun.

The smart would be of help.

The smart would be of help.

The soft underbelly of a free society comes in the ways in which it can be exploited by the internal power vacuums created by same.  Systemic faults are always there.  Systems can always be gamed, abused.  The muscle and will that pushes agenda, that opens any wheels to be greased, that lives for, works for, has the entitlement for power always goes against those with interests to resist, those with interests in preservation of the values of the system.

Access to the levers of force, the force of the state, forces challenging the state, this is paramount.  Challengers angle enough to make themselves the de facto masters of allowable behavior.  Be it the terror of the disruptive or those who skew and game systems for other ends there is always leverage given away by those who are not hard eyed.

The willing are required to keep societies free from being weak imitations of that which they strive to be.  The smart would be of help.

Principles in action. Twisting and shaking and hiding from ones own perfection …

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on January 18, 2015 by B Schiff

Principles in action.  Twisting and shaking and hiding from ones own perfection …

Principle and premise.  Principle and promise.  Principle and principal. The holy rollers love principle.  They love to flaunt it.  They love to deride it.  They love to see the absence of it here, there and every which where.

Principle and premise.  Principle and promise.  Principle and principal.

The application of principle is a very tricky thing.  Over riding interest often collide and the final principle is the principle of what interests lie in the resolving of said conflict.

A holy roller of ideology, an ideological bent, staunch aims for others as well as or rather then ones self …. the principle of true belief vs the principle of all rancid infidels.  No compromise with same.  True belief rests upon manna from heaven.  Manna from heaven flows to those who can sustain authoritarian ideals, who can fall in love with coquettish absolutism.

The mocking hero dies for his aims …   society’s darlings  let others die for their aims …blemish, blemish, blemish be gone.

Ahhh …. the happy joys of waging war forever …. the happy joys of rising to saint, martyr, martyred saint.

Principles in action.  Twisting and shaking and hiding from ones own perfection … these are the gifts of the question.

Ahhh … the trials of the good.

With but meager means. Good luck.

ith but meager means.  Good luck.

Some folk might actually be trying understand the hate, the clash of cultures, the gifts of violence, the twists and turns of the desire for warfare and the desire for power.

Some folk might actually trying to have the good fight, make the good world, stand by the shreds of honor that echo in the streets  of those willing to be free.

Some folk might be opening up to the passions for imposing humaneness upon the public square, opening up to the need for the lack of the self indulgent follies of moral blindness, aimless disdain.

Turning points.  Reflections. Sincerity.  Direction. Passion. Will.

Sometimes it comes.   Sometimes not.

With but meager means.  Good luck.

Cries will be brief. The world won’t stop. Aftermath.

Cries will be brief. The world won’t stop. Aftermath.

The world condemns the the barbarity, cruelty, venality of Paris et al. Hands rung. Hearts tugged. Blood boiled. Seems the old dance. New shows. New back drops. New dead. The world has a conscience. There will be no more sympathizers, enablers, supporters, disinterested bystanders. There will be no more who play the events for fun and profit, who have hard self interest working in the game, who have joyous self interest in seeing, speaking, hearing no evil.

Rapacious, power loving players won’t change. Power players won’t change. Interested parties will not morph into hand wringing caring sweethearts. Butchers and handlers and leering bums and maggots won’t go against type or against potential ally, ally, all potential useful canon fodder, won’t go against the cost of doing business. War and advantage come by the means available. Exposition, creation of vulnerabilities is what presented packages are for.

Thought processes, such as they are, won’t be challenged. Values are firm. Associates will not become enemies. Cries will be brief. The world won’t stop.

Watch or not. Good back alley action.

While away and wait for the fun to come. Mercilessly line up and take advantage of the latest tragedy in order to harbor public political vulnerabilities and golden paths to the top of the happy hills of demon political sincerity. Be bothered and live well and prosper. Think good thoughts. Be of awareness and decency, of good mind and temper. Be the good soldier.

While away and wait for the bums to come. While away and see golden response from golden folk. See the warble, see the dance, the prance. Tragedies are hard. They mute. They hurt. The sting. They are of an unforgiving world. They break and churn. They interrupt, mock the serene, the insecure. They let power jostle for position.

Watch or not. Good back alley action.

The right to be not tolerant of tolerance is a belief sanctioned. Dialog need be unapologetic.

The right to be not tolerant of tolerance is a belief sanctioned. Dialog need be unapologetic.

So what changes? Does ignorance and stupidity walk always with the moral high ground. straddling the the commands to be holier than though and stronger by half? Boiled over passions are the life’s blood of holy evil. Intolerance of tolerance goes hand and hand with tolerance of intolerance. The crushing salves of structured minds smooth over always the rough edges of dirty discourse and all manner of mocking jays. Good, pure folk need never be mocked by the intellectual bullies who are always too cute by half.

So we tolerate all manner of cultural rigidity, partisan mimicry, the voices of those who are bullies, those who are trying to make a way with sacred values they hold dear and sometimes alien. The age old story comes about over and over again mimicking the adage of free speech being about the right to swing a fist ending at another’s nose.

The right of fostered belief ends where it needs be forced upon unwilling devils demanding their acquiescence and the right to be not tolerant of tolerance is a belief sanctioned.

Dialog need be unapologetic.

Federalism means ….kiss the right ring and this is an academic exercise.

Federalism means ….kiss the right ring and this is an academic exercise.

Federalism means that the slobbering pig of a big bad corrupt federal world of rancid, federal government of loathsome  is the big bad corrupt interloper by choice into the aims and deeds of the smaller big bad pigs of corrupt entities in marvelous state and humble municipalities whose relative smallness and happy parochialisms make them prime candidates for heroic interest in and awareness of the broad swaths of American economic and cultural life.

Federalism means that the evil checks and balances of the primal hordes of national louts working on the primal hordes of local louts …. God gets you to pick yere’ poison and enjoy the demons that attract.

Small groups are prone to undo influence by small cadres of local padrones.  Large groups are prone to the brain dead indifferences of the steam roller.  Pick a winner in the fight for angel.

Kiss the right ring and this is an academic exercise.

Don’t ….. get lost in the swamp.
