Sifu can never wrong, it is just not Tao.
Grasshoppers, on the other hand.....
Subjectivism is not objective, Grasshopper.
Certainly Sifu. Sifu is never wrong - just facts tend to either do not support Sifu's interpretation, or it has yet to support Sifu's insight.
Subjectivism [new word there Sifu?] is not Objectivism... Indeed it is not. But thy grashopper's paraphrasing of economists, political scientists and historians (and documentarians such as Ken Burns) kinda not make it Grasshopper's subjective interpretation but a widely proven and accurate account of history as we it was lived and now barely breathing.
History is *always* subjective, Grasshopper. You, of all people should know that.
The predominate economic theory taught in our leftist universities is Keynesianism. Economic history is viewed through that prism, but refraction distorts the view.
Open your mind Grasshopper, this is Tao.
]. So with victory comes the booty and Nazi gold and world domination and all the goodies that goes with such might.
He takes trash talking to a whole new level and sends the message that it is okay to do it. It's a wonder no one has tried to bop him off.
Only to those who lack objectivity of that history ..... Tismeism
].] and the Volkswagen could see no wrong in waging war and genocide. Must be the evil Hitler and his demonic grip on the depressed and fallen people in their weakest hour etc.
Yea well, we can't all be Irish and see the British for what they are [that kinda make sense, if you really think about it
Recall this paragraph in some undergrad psycho text where the author was saying how it is hard to imagine that one of the most culturally advanced and civilised country in the world - Germany - could commit such heinous crime against humanity.
At the time I thought that's true. Following the guy's argument about how a country that produce Beethoven, Carl Marx [
No doubt Hitler is all messed up and Nazi Germany was not the place you'd want to be unless you're of pure blood. But beside the singling out of European Jewry for extermination, all the crimes and debauchery of the Third Reich are simply things all Imperial Powers throughout the ages do. That's just messed up when you think about it.
Caesar the first climbed to fame mainly because of his victories against the Gaul - wiping out about 1/3 of the population; Then Rome kinda continue on expanding as it has and civilising Egypt and take its grains for the fee, repeat the process all over the region. There's the Chinese starting with a small state way up North somewhere and now count over 100 different ethnic groups as its people - the majority being the Han (and they were kept busy for the last couple hundred years dealing with the Europeans, the Japanese, and the American).
Then of course there's the Europeans, slavery, colonialism and Great Power politics and so call grand strategy destroying entire countries and people.
In the Nuclear age with easy travel, easy access to guns and firepower (in America) - the old way of politics and empire is probably not as profitable (and safe) for the imperial power as it used to be. But these politicians and their planners somehow doesn't seem to think about it.
The current strategy seem to be - let's do what all powers have done, only do it deadlier; and if there's blowbacks well we'll monitor everybody, abandon these pesky civil rights and legal principles so that those who do no wrong have nothing to worry about (they hope and pray) and blowback will be kept at a minimal. Then goes billions to hundreds of billions a year to keep a sharper eye out for a needle in a bigger more complicated haystack - at home; abroad more deadlier weapons, better bases and armoured vehicles and drones and robotics to do the dirty work (and create more enemies and dead people).
All for what? It's insane. Forget about the idea of killing people or causing their death indirectly.
It's quite stupid. It's like me being a billionaire and instead of using money to buy stuff I use it to buy guns, hire and recruit goons and go break down the local deli to take their stuff home. Then to prevent retaliation I spend more money to hire security guards, post them every couple metre around my massive fence perimeter and all over the grounds. Then to keep the little kids happy so that they won't see their old man as a violent crazy lunatic I'd have to pay the media and a few comedians to tell stories of my virtue and glory and benevolent.
Whatever happen to just buying things? Especially when you have the money and it keep your hands clean.
Yet these idiotic politicians talks about security and wiping out people and us and them - all in the same breath.
It's amazing humans are still around. Maybe not for much longer the way it's going.
