Is software fixed or variable capital, or not capital at all?
Is a craftsman who owns his tools and belongs to a union the owner of the business he operates?
Another question: has software now become a commodity or is it still a product, or a bespoke product of craftsmanship? What kind of software does Uber provide?

If confused:

700+ pp. PDF might seem a bit daunting but its just words and pictures and rather a fast read or skim.
Business centric and not 'Military' or 'Diplomatic' but the DIME instruments of Clausewitzian Power are not really all that different. And, er, 'Capitalism' as a political system is rather more about warfare among businesses than anything else anyway.
Industrial Capitalist Business is just warfare carried on by other means you know.

I'm about to list a large number (32 in fact) of hypothesis on the current political situation in the Anglosphere and West generally.

The reason I am doing is is to highlight the deficiency in our analyses challenging our critical assumptions.

Most political discourse today..
Amounts to an assertion of hypotheses, with little in the way of evidence to refute any of them. This leads to 'holistic analysis' (going with your gut, aka cognitive biases).

This works well in daily life (mostly) where a little rationality goes a long way -- not so much in
poltics at nation scale. There is no particular order or arrangement -- each one will be a separate tweet so we can pick and choose any we care to discuss:

H1 Existent America (as opposed to collapsing Neo-Liberal regime) should be defended as a Nation

By EA I mean...

So here we are at half time in our thread on Temptation, Sin, Addition, the Narrative, and the Intelligence Agencies.

/our guy/ has just turned traitor and just agreed to work for the Enemy. Beyond 'fraternising' and gotten positively contrary to nature

We now reach a stage called 'predisposition' (to Sin) -- prolepsis. This is an important term that comes to us from Stoicism as well, and we will need to spend some time here.

Prolepsis is all the TV you've watched and news articles you've read that predispose you to sin
Your mind is scarred-- you need brain bleach to remove all the stored up images, many of them of past sins of your own, but also of suggestion and temptation, all of which can come into play AT ANY MOMENT and torment you.

You now have become a bit like an animal -- you have an

This thread will be long -- I'm going to go over each of the 6 stages of temptation (except the first, provocation) which we've done, with reference backwards in time to Stoicism and forwards to Critical Thinking and Intelligence Analysis.

Our primary references:
iep.utm.edu/stoicmind/ - for Stoics

For Greek terminology the standard appendix of the Philokalia (free at archive.org and linked at the thread below):

translatum.gr/forum/index.ph… (Scroll down or search for 'Temptation')
Because we are discussing 'The Narrative' in the frame of Intelligence analysis and also Addiction, we really do have to pay attention to the terminology around Phantasia...

Phantasiai are the 'presentations' of the senses -- sense data if you will. English reflexes are...

The position of a Christian facing the onslaught of the Narrative is precisely this:

“What happens is this. In a moment, without a word being spoken or an image presented, a sudden passionate urge lays hold of the victim. It comes faster than anything in the physical world ...
and is swifter and more indiscernible than any spirit. It makes its appearance in the soul by a simple memory, which is unconnected with anything, independent of time and inexpressible, and in some cases comes without the person him self realizing the fact...
Someone who has been able to detect such a subtlety, someone with the gift of mourning, may be able to explain how with the eye alone, with a mere glance, by the touch of a hand, through a song overheard, the soul is led to commit a definite sin of unchastity without any notion..

Commentary on the net seems hopelessly naive about the Ukraine. It's a four-handed game is why.

The Hapsburg/Pan Europa/P2 bloc (see ISGP Studies to understand what that is) are clearly interested in returning Ruthenia to the Habsburg fold, and thus agree with Putin...
... who might want to restore the 1914 Imperial borders (see Yarvin for details here).

The Marxists obviously want to preserve the borders of Lenin, which involves keeping the Ukraine whole -- and the Hapsburgs would likely be ok with *Expansion*
The Anglo-American elites follow the City lead, which is *often* in alignment with the P2 block through the CIA, but not *invariably*. Are the Queen and the Pope always playing on the same Black Guelph team or not?

The key to this Selden Crisis is realising that a 'state' only can limit 'freedom of association' if it is a legitimate state, which has as its care the Salus Populi of the laity who have the Peculium, and not otherwise. In fact, this 'State' can do nothing at all to you --
you have Free Will. You have Reason. You have Truth. Against these, as the Apostle St Paul says, THERE IS NO LAW.

We live in the days of Social Justice, therefore, let Gideon Judge be our exemplum. Prepare the monks with trumpets, as in the days of Germanus of Auxerre.[1]
Let the Patriarchs who are called by this, be CALLED OUT. (ekklesia, in Greek -- the Christian Militia, if you will).

Germanus is traditionally credited with the establishment of the Diocese of Sodor and Man on the Isle of Man
