  <title>A few words on neoliberalism, wars in Ukraine and Israel, a neoliberal military-industrial complex.</title>
  <link>https://elanor-x.dreamwidth.org/61287.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Pavel Schelin gave&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2EcYJeTSX8&amp;amp;t=2027s&amp;amp;ab_channel=%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%A8%D0%95%D0%9B%D0%95%D0%A1%D0%A2&quot;&gt; a great interview 12.10.23 regarding EU, neoliberalism, wars in Ukraine and Israel, a neoliberal military-industrial complex and more&lt;/a&gt;. Decided to post the best points below since they look like uncomfortable truths no one is ready to face, even if I don&amp;rsquo;t agree with everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;[Pavel Schelin works in Arestovich&amp;rsquo;s online-school &amp;laquo;Апейрон&amp;raquo; and presents himself as a political philosopher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Wanted to find out what he studied but didn&amp;rsquo;t succeed.]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt;During the last 70 years the Western global order was based on the hypocritical idea of the end of history, especially the end of wars. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Everybody, including FSU in Afghanistan, prepares army forces for special ops in the conditions of technological superiority. It leads to the degradation of armies, as was demonstrated by the &amp;ldquo;second in the world&amp;rdquo; Russian army on 24.02.22 and by IDF on 7.10.23&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;(I am unsure re IDF, but report Schelin&amp;rsquo;s words.) Schelin sees as extremely dangerous the development of weapons, like drones, which destroys the superiority of nation states vs. non-state actors. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This attempt to stop history created numerous conflicts which cannot be resolved via peaceful means. For instance, Palestinian / Israeli conflict is a case in which peaceful coexistence is impossible; one of the two must stop being a subject (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:RU&quot;&gt;быть&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:RU&quot;&gt;субъектом&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt;). There is no place on the map for two states, and for Israel leaving territories is suicidal (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:RU&quot;&gt;военное&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:RU&quot;&gt;самоубийство&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt;).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Israel for the Arab world is what the Gaza Strip is for Israel since it&amp;rsquo;s an alien body located in the middle of trade routes and logistics chains. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Why are civilians suffering the most? The philosophical paradox of war is that, to put any restrictions on warfare methods, one must give it a legitimately recognized space in foreign relations. Otherwise, war expends indefinitely; even domestic policy turns into a civil war. See: Ukrainian cultural front, economic front, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;RU&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:RU&quot;&gt;песенный фронт. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt;A neoliberal military-industrial complex is unready for big / mass wars. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;If we have no wars but only special ops,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;for the last 30 years the complex has been working&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;to produce a small number of technologically advanced and costly weaponry. It lets the system to engage in money laundering. Thus, financially, it&amp;rsquo;s more profitable to produce one expensive plane than 10 simpler ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US&quot;&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:HE&quot;&gt;The current military-industrial complex is unable to produce sufficient weaponry for two large wars: in Ukraine and in the Middle East. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elanor_x&amp;ditemid=61287&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Happy New Year 2023</title>
  <link>https://elanor-x.dreamwidth.org/60636.html</link>
  <description>2022 was disastrous for several countries I feel connected to and not altogether good for my own country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lets hope 2023 will bring a few welcoming changes and start healing what was broken in 2022. If it&apos;s too much to wish for, at least let 2023 not be as depressing as it appears in forecasts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old Ukrainian wish seems relevant in a new way:&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;God grant us that in a year we will be able to look into each other&apos;s eyes&amp;quot; /&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Дай нам Боже аби через рік ми могли подивитись один одному у вічі&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;Я верю в нашу общую звезду,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Хотя давно за нею не следим мы, &amp;mdash;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Наш поезд с рельс сходил на всем ходу &amp;mdash;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Мы все же оставались невредимы&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;В. Высоцкий&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I believe in our common star,&lt;br /&gt; Although we have not been following it for a long time, - &lt;br /&gt;Our train went off the rails at full speed - &lt;br /&gt;We still remained unharmed&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.tviysvit.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/xz-rokom-kroluka-5-1180x770.jpg.pagespeed.ic.qyQIjD6oLG.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;326&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elanor_x&amp;ditemid=60636&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Появление нескольких государств, которые будут объединять по несколько территорий нынешних российских регионов, подобно разделению территорий бывших британских колоний.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;2. Появление многих больших и малых государств, которые будут созданы по этническому и географическому признаку, подобно распаду социалистической Югославии;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;3. Появление нескольких государств, вне которых будет отсутствие полноценной государственности, анархия и непрекращающиеся конфликты на значительной территории бывшей России.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Менее вероятное&lt;/strong&gt; переучреждение, создание нового российского государства в границах нынешней России.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;5. Оккупация (введение войск) иностранных держав для уменьшения последствий гуманитарной катастрофы на значительной части территории России.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gepatiy.livejournal.com/54677.html&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration-line: none; color: rgb(0, 163, 217); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;https://gepatiy.livejournal.com/54677.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;Россиян не пугает такая ситуация? Подсознательный страх настолько силен, что люди предпочитают не задумываться, а выкрикивать воинственные лозунги как-будто исполняя магический ритуал или принимая сильнодействующие наркотики? Даже мне грустно видеть такое, а я никогда не была россиянкой.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;Люди не хотят понимать, что &amp;quot;мы побеждаем&amp;quot; или &amp;quot;нельзя отступать&amp;quot; = контрольный выстрел в голову страны? Не жаль? Мне правда жаль Россию тоже. (Верю 100%, что в Украине все будет хорошо в ближайшие 5 лет, максимум.) Русский мой родной язык детства, отец был русским по национальности.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;color: rgb(36, 47, 51); font-family: ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#242f33&quot; face=&quot;ProximaNova, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;&quot;&gt;Что если выбрать сторону России требует оттащить ее от края пропасти? Не дать продолжать нестись навстречу паровозу? Что это за проклятая слепота, подталкивающая к распаду, к гибели страны?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elanor_x&amp;ditemid=58390&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>What is it that We Call the West?</title>
  <link>https://elanor-x.dreamwidth.org/57983.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://medium.com/incerto/a-clash-of-two-systems-47009e9715e2&quot;&gt;What we call &amp;ldquo;the West&amp;rdquo; is not a spiritual entity, but an administrative system first and last. Is is not an ethno-geographical ensemble, but a legal and institutional system: it includes Japan, S. Korea, and Taiwan. It mixes the thalassocratic Phoenician world of network-based trade and that of Adam Smith, based on individual rights and freedom to transact, under the constraint of social progress. In the United States, the difference between Democrats and Republicans is minor when seen from a different century. Both sides wants social progress, but at different rates of growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, nationalism requires the All-Mighty Centralized &amp;ndash;worse, Hegelian &amp;mdash; State, and one that curates cultural life to weed out individual variations.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &amp;quot;A Clash of Two Systems&amp;quot; by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Apr 19, 2022)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elanor_x&amp;ditemid=57983&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
