We are used to always blame something in the past to justify the present in this online world now.
Arrest of Andrew Tate in Romania has made global headlines.
Feminists vs Red-Pillists have gone in overdrive on the internet trying to fool as many as millions as they can.

Let's look at the Slavery topic.
You know when was the first time when the idea of liberating the slaves appeared?
In the 4th century we have debates between St. Basil vs St. Gregory of Nyssa.
3/
St. Gregory of Nyssa insisted that all Slaves must be given freedom because all humans are made in the image of Christ, they are all Christs.
St. Basil would more or less reply: Agree, but we are not there yet. The supply chains would break down, the economy would die.
4/
Fast forward 1600 years later, from 18th to 20th century, Slaves were given freedom.
Why?
Because of Automation made possible by Steam Engine and later electricity and diesel engine.
Slaves were no longer needed to uphold supply chains. Freedom given.
5/
So, yes, folks. Idea for liberation of slaves has a theological beginning, All Men are born equal as Christs, true.
But, it was not feasible until Automation became feasible from discovery of energy abundance.
6/
Until then, the Society had to.............SURVIVE...... (thanks @nntaleb for revealing that concept to us on Incerto).
Societies always tend to defend themselves from extinction, which means SURVIVAL INSTICT. They do anything to survive.
7/
You see where I am coming from?
Anything that has happened which seems like revolutionary, it was actually only made possible because Society had means to survive, after the said revolution.
Let's look at them.
8/
Homosexuality:
In Ancient Greece male homosexuality was celebrated, whereas female sexuality was basically banned.
Why?
Because the ancients understood that society needs women to produce kids in order to survive.
So, No Patriarchy there as you see, it was all economical.
9/
When did homosexuality become normal again, this time for both males and females?
You got it.
When there was no need to bear 6,7,8 kids per family, the family as we knew it collapsed gradually.
10/
Kids and Family:
The habit used to be that men would work and lead the house, women mainly do house work and produce kids.
Why?
Because kids were needed as work force.
Because kids were needed as old age insurance.
THIS IS SURVIVAL. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PATRIARCHY.
11/
When did family collapse?
You got it folks?
AUTOMATION. ENERGY ABUNDANCE.
There was no need to produce 7 kids per family any more.
Automation, Electricity, Fossil Fuels replaced the need to produce kids as work force and old age insurance.
NO PATRIARCHY HERE.
12/
Let's go to marriage:
You know who issued edicts to obligate people to get married?
EMPEROR AUGUSTUS OF ROME
People were not getting married because City of Rome was very wealthy as goods from the empire had inundated Rome.
RING A BELL FOLKS? Exactly as now.
13/
Augustus saw that the Society would go extinct from lack of marriages, so he decreed law for mandatory marriage.
The Church later, when it became legal in the Roman Empire, had to submit to these Roman Laws.
14/
So, again folks.
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHURCH OR PATRIARCHY.
IT WAS..............SURVIVAL OF THE SOCIETY (thank you @nntaleb )
Marriage is NOT a Dogma, it's Oikonomia. The Church had to take Management Decisions to submit to Roman Law, Oikonomia.
15/
@nntaleb Same thing for the emancipation of women, or whatever.
All these FREEDOMS, of being single, of being gay, of being feminist or red pill, or not having kids etc etc, NOTHING TO WITH OPPRESSION AND PATRIARCHY ETC.
It was all Survival.
16/
@nntaleb All these became possible only after the society could survive, via Automation, which became possible only after energy became abundant from electricity and fossil fuels.
17/
@nntaleb So, please, when you see all these people complaining for this or for that, or whatever was achieved, or how bad the past was and how we fixed the problems.
No, we fixed nothing, in the same way that St. Gregory of Nyssa could not free the Slaves.
18/
It was Electricity and Fossil fuels which made possible that our societies could survive after those ideas were implemented.

Crude oil is largely traded in the OTC market where
it is not directly observable.
2/
Around 90 per cent of physical crude oil
is traded under medium- and long-term contracts.
Crude oil for physical delivery can also be traded
in the ‘spot market’, although this is less common
owing to the logistics of transporting oil.

Në të gjithë botën katolike në këtë moment, kishat lokale kanë dalë kundër Vatikanit duke u kujdesur për problemet lokale, ka praktikisht luftë civile brenda katolicizmit.
Drejt apo jo, nuk na takon ne shqiptarëve ta gjykojmë teologjikisht.

Katolikët shqiptarë janë parë nga shqiptarët si porta e hyrjes për në Evropë, për t'u pranuar nga Evropa si Evropianë, jo si myslimanë. Praktikisht, të gjithë shqiptarët janë katolikofilë (duke përfshirë dhe ortodoksët që kanë braktisur kishën ortodokse tashmë masivisht.)
2/3
Një pjesë e klerit katolik shqiptar në fillim të shek 20 si Fishta, Mjeda etc (Lavdi) e morën përsipër këtë detyrë kombëtare, ca të tjerë si Krist Maloki u bënë anti shqiptarë duke praktikuar politikën zyrtare të Vatikanit për krijimin e Kombit Katolik Shqiptar.

Catholicism vs Protestantism conflict is essentially a SUPPLY CHAIN WAR.
Let me repeat:
Catholicism vs Protestantism conflict is a SUPPLY CHAIN WAR.
2/
The Supply Chain War was brewing between German Nationalist Elite vs Italian Nationalist Elite.
Elitarian Nationalism started in the 12th century as a result of the mutual disagreements between the German controlled Pope of Rome and Contantintople New Rome.

People don't understand America, even Americans don't understand America.
Americans don't understand America, because they don't care.

Americans don't live in America. Americans live in their local communities. Americans wouldn't care less about America, they care about their communities.

Në mendësinë anglishtfolëse ka një praktikë menaxhimi, Benefit of the Doubt.
Shqipërohet si Përfitimi i Dyshimit.
Kjo ka bazë nga Etika e Krishterë.
Llogjika është që çdo njeri është i mirë, kështu që nëse ka dyshim, jepi kohë që të provjë veten.
1/
Përfitimi i Dyshimit është praktikë normale e menaxhimit të shtetit të Kanadasë i aplikuar gjerësisht në menaxhim publik dhe privat, që unë akm eksperiencuar vetë.
Për shembull, sistemi i taksave në Kanada është me Vetë-Deklarim, në konceptin e Përfitimit të Dyshimit.

Kur KM Albin Kurti dhe Presidente Osmani bënë një aleancë zgjedhore unë u çudita pak.
Presidente Osmani është vokalisht kundër bashkimit kombëtar, dëshiron krijimin e Kombit Kosovar, sipas parimeve të Rugovizmit.
