Nationalism: a machinery invented in the “enlightenment” to destroy local cultures, minorities, regional idiosyncracies, multicultural Mediterraneanism, variability, entropy, etc,& necessarily accompanied by STATISM, paternalism, nudgism. Fractal #Localism is not nationalism. Fractal Mediterraneism

Antisemitism is bad for Lebanon

Localism fuck off

Localism, I keep saying. You don’t replace a government that harms you with more government. Self-organization and bottom up government. Take things into your own hands.

The dark story of the “enlightenment”. Nationalism: a machinery invented in the “enlightenment” to destroy local cultures, minorities, regional idiosyncracies, multicultural Mediterraneanism, variability, entropy, etc,& necessarily accompanied by STATISM, paternalism, nudgism. Fractal #Localism is not nationalism.

Then why does Arabism cling to a monolithic identity? It is pure fascism. Has nothing to do with shame/no shame. Has to do with binarization of people into groups. We Meds may want to be multiculturals because WE cross many cultures. Nobody shd be able to stop us.

Is this in favor or against some adult supervision, say from the IMF (or something similar)? Not quite; localism has worked best under some Imperial supervision (Roman empire, Hapsburgs, etc.)

Being flooded by first-order (scale-blind) “libertarians” (of the no masks, “freedom” to infect others variety), arguing that reactions to the virus (but not the virus) will cause hunger & famine. Since when have these selfish sociopathic “libertarians” been concerned w/famine? 2) PRINCIPIA POLITICA shows the effects of scale/localism. Systemic harm has no tort laws (you can’t sue a virus) so you MUST use the Precautionary Principle. Many libertarians are just cranks & sociopaths. 3) “LIBERTARIAN” is meaningless a designation if you live under silver rules and laws. Localism is the only way to make what is called LIBERTARIANISM stand on its feet. 4) “Libertarians” are also incoherent: they deny stores the right to require masks & constrain their freedom yet ask for freedom… Nothing to do with libertarianism: rather a collection of marshmallowbrained psychopaths and misfits taking their hatred of humanity too far.

Localism du Jour Many Italian towns survived the Plague by closing their gates.

Local hero, rioting
