We live in a 2.0 or 3.0 world and are using 1.0 concepts to discuss, bloviate, argue and we think fight, we really aren't, we are just making ourselves feel empowered or something.

We need new, accurately descriptive concepts, even post capitalism or nouveau (neo capitalism) does not work, We are way past all of those concepts now, and that is why we find ourselves treading water, and flailing our arms, to no effect.

We are fighting phantoms, will o the wisps. we are Romans quarreling over which god is more important Priapus or Scabies, while Jewish agitators are preaching the story of Yeshua in the market place.

By the way this is no stab at the Jews or a trope. Considering what Rome did to the Jews, how they plundered them and enslaved them to build the Coliseum and temples,and that massacred them and went to the extreme of posting a hole legion around Masada and building aramp which can still be seen to the top to wipe out Jewish resistance,

I think it was brilliant on the part of the learned Jews, the Pharisees, to come up with a scheme to do internally, what they couldn't do externally and destroy Rome, a power built on militarism, by preaching pacific ism and damn it worked, but it took almost 400 years, from Rome to go from offensive to defensive, but that was what the Jewish heresy of Christianity did.

Fucking smart, bravo,bravo. and it is still doing it's work today, convincing fools to bow in submission. Although that was not part of the plan, no one can read the future and there are always unintended consequences.

Prince of peace, the peace of slavery.
