Nihilism sounds like moral relativism, not very useful.
"Feudal nihilism" - I don't understand what that's supposed to mean.
It means you don't care what happens to the shitpile as long as you're at the tip of the turd.
I do feel some compassion for the shitpile. But playing in shit is just not very interesting. And change (or even transformation) is at best illusory.
That is not agreeable, nor constructive, although the statement may be provable over specific time periods and at certain levels of analysis.
Maybe not agreeable or constructive to you, but accurate, I believe.
But, for many of us, where "keeping out of it" means not engaging or physically interacting with interesting folk who also exist within "our nation", isolationism is intolerable!
It doesn't mean that at all.
You're not quite getting this point:
One particular issue at hand: DMV issued driver licenses.
We have the options:
- isolate (monastically, or with some friends)
- not isolate
In the case we 'not isolate', and we drive to another 'not-isolationist' community, we then are presented with two options (amongst others like "get a friend to drive me", but let's cut to the chase here):
- drive by common law/ natural law right/ the blessing/ etc
- obtain and drive with a state-issued driver license (eg DMV)
Mirimir, when you say you choose to 'fly below the radar' or rather 'nod and smile', what, specifically, are you suggesting in this very real and current and modern scenario?
I have a driver license. My vehicles are certified safe. I have insurance. I drive prudently, avoiding attention. If detained by police, I am calm and respectful. Refusing any of those things is, in my humble opinion, just too fucking stupid for words. It's true that I learned those skills as a drug smuggler ;) But more generally, I fly below the radar when it's workable.
(And before you try to sidestep the issue: the properties are 97km apart, driving and walking are your only means of transport, and you have to meet in person not video conference, perhaps shipping a few garbage bags of prime head or juicy tomatoes.)
It's only a problem if you're so pigheaded that you need to openly defy authority ;)
Some say the leader of the Zealots was Jesus the Nazarene, the last King of the jews and there is some evidence to this - a book where the author alleges he read the last scroll of the Zealots in person, but was not allowed a copy (can't remember the name of the book right now).
That was a long time ago, and impossible to tell from bullshit.
Except to the degree one can put credence in time dating and the contents of an actual scroll at ground zero of the mutual suicide that occurred at Masada from their self proclaimed (in said scroll) leader.
What exactly should I care? Far more interesting is the Copiale Cipher. http://www.wired.com/2012/11/ff-the-manuscript/ https://scottishrite.org/about/media-publications/journal/article/the-copial...
Feel free to only put credence in contemporary internet-accessible blogs, rather than such scrolls, since it's on the internet it must be true and all that...
Mostly lies, for sure. But that's true for everything :(
