That is incredibly useful to know. It speaks the beautiful nature of our ancient peoples and our ancient cultures. I appreciate you sharing that.
When we sweep away the bullshit deepities "hey heres a list of nonsense i read about" and are honest about the male / female roles in our society you kind of start to see that white men and white women want the same path forward.
That is a truly beautiful thing.
Which is what ALL OF THIS is all about. It's about keeping our focus away from each other, away from our culture, our communities, our history. Some of it is absolutely architected and planned, some of it is the outcome of network effects (or the ratchet principle as someone in another thread taught me about) getting us to this point.
The suggestions you keep on making just make incredible practical sense.
I think everyone here is kind of dancing around the obvious: we all KIND OF understand or predicament on a whole bunch of levels INCLUDING from an evolutionary perspective. We get details wrong, but because we are white, we fight it out and hash out the truth.
While I really enjoy the conversations here and in other places, we all kind of sense that the time is now to start building something more substantial. I have some ideas on this, mostly captain obvious stuff at this point in time:
There won't be one magic strategy. We will need to define many strategies (as a community and as a people) and see what works.
The key problem is actually going to center around access to the financial system. Just look at what the lovely couple over at Red Ice have endured. In fact, that is really the majority of the issue.
I think we are going to have to drive a huge portion of this through our religious institutions. Religions have special protections under the law and we will need those protections to help us on the legal front. Besides, christianity has embedded within it a bastardized set of some of our ancient religious and spiritual practices, it may be time to disembowel the jew from the bible and grow some new spiritual roots from our people based on the seeds that were nearly lost to time.
I'm writing this mostly because you are the first I have met here to have a grasp of the practical. Your post about enforced monogamy is one of those insights that cuts very close to the bone. You can read all throughout history where a simple tiny change in cultural norms results in huuuuuuge problems and disasters for cultures. This feels like one of those insights. I had the priviledge to visit family in far eastern Europe where people still live in small ancient villages and it did not take long to kind of figure out that the social rules in a small village exist for a reason, one of which is precisely as you put it: enforce monogamy.
