Yeah, im kinda happy to let the people sort out social issues, as A. I don't give a shit

And B. Despite a belief in despotism, i don't believe in micro management

neo reactionaries tend to favor feudalism in the european sense

Feudalism was foolish

Too de - centralised

yea you're different

I think you really are your own thing

I like the Egyptian moniker of the pharaoh as a shepard

really interesting

He doesn't tell the sheep was grass to eat

He stops them entering his neighbours paddock

Or eating anything hazardous

But yeah, i developed my beliefs before i was exposed to other ideologies

Have you ever read dune btw?

Because I've had people tell me im like a less justified Leto II in what i think

nope, seen the movie a long time ago though

GG @Terry Arcona, you just advanced to level 2!

Essentially in the fourth book

Dude becomes a deity, and breaks the cyclical nature of societal decay

Ill put it like this, i think everyone wants to create a paradise for their people in the end

in your view what causes societal decay?

Success

A country grows, exerts its power

It becomes strong and bloated

There are no enemies to keep it on its feet, no outside issue to stimulate change

So all that's left is the occasional reformer

And with its wealth and cradle of power it falls to corruption, or becomes weak in the face of another power due to arrogance

And falls

Such is the cycle of every civilisation

All have gone through it all go through it

GG @Mairon, you just advanced to level 3!

Well except those that get crushed beneath another

This cycle of decay limits greater progress and creates conflict

Out of the ashes of a collapsing civilisation, new ones form, and it puts back development

In ancient Egypt there was a concept called Ma'at it had no real translation, but it's sorta a mix between, divine order, and tranquility, Egypt lasted thousands of years

I want Ma'at for all of humanity, for all time, so that no child ever be plagued by the unjust loss of parents, so that none starve, or needlessly suffer

Tfw i just ranted the fuck out of this channel

Rip LCU

maybe no one starved but people didn't really have that great of lives, slavory was rampant in Egypt

Ma'at was only conceptual in Egypt, and for the ancient Mediterranean they had quite fair lives

Egypt to me was a starting point
