The Anglo-Saxon Wars

 

Homosapiens

 Since the start of recorded history, even before then, homosapiens have been at it, war that is, from family, tribe, region, kingdom, country.

You name it we have attacked it, killed it, overrun it, destroyed it, changed it, consumed it.

We are the apex predator.

And I, and so should everyone, be extremely proud of that claim to fame, not because of the warlike nature of our species, because of the knock it down and build it better attitude of most humans.

From the Cave to the Village to the Castle to the City to the vast Metropolis that we currently have, our great feats of engineering, building, creations to make out lives easier and more cognizant and fruitful and enjoyable for all.

Sure, there are highs and lows, some miss out, but that is the way of any marketplace, all throughout our Solar System, our Galaxy, our Universe.

The first oysters were eaten straight from the shell on the rock it grew on, today, and I actually mean that cause lunchtime is begging at the oyster restaurant, we grow oysters on farms, they are harvested as required, and presented in a variety of manner on plates set in front of us.

We adapt, we invent, we change things for us, as any apex predator should.

Cold War II

Speaking to some people a day ago gave me thoughts on this article. It was a discussion with a South American couple, one from Chile and the other from Peru, now living in Australia to escape the vulgarities of life now existing in both their native lands. They are very happy here with the steady and productive way of life that they both contribute towards through work and enjoyment.

The World is now living through a second Cold War, the CCP, or China versus the rest of the World (the free World that is).

The comparisons are many, in the battle of the first Cold War between mainly the USSR and the USA, the uproar between the demographically charged First Worlders was about peace and love and what about us, the flower people who wanted it all NOW and at no cost both economically and emotionally. 

The other side was the Soviet dictate that had been ensconced since the 1920's, and its society, its proles, were stuck in a time warp of vodka and lack of prosperity since that time, with the youth pushed into blind subservience and acceptance of their fate.

That Cold War ended with the USSR in complete capitulation, the USA and the rest of the free World winning bigly, but the dictatorial fascists never give up because they have mental retardation which makes them believe they have a right to do unto others whatever they want to, in other words, psychopathy.

Without doing a nut and bolt of that period, suffice to say that the World now sees itself in another bare knuckle match between the proudly Marxist/Leninistic China versus the rest of the World.

It will take time, blood and gore, but my belief is that the rest of the World will win this battle, again, with the one advantage, free market ideas will always prevail over those fixed market communists who do not dare to speak of Voldemort.

Freedom, in its political sense, will always allow outside the box thinking, Fixed economies will never have that luxury, the individual is stymied by making via committee, a camel instead of a race horse, that race will always be won by the horse.
