Don’t worry about “eastern civ”. No MuSlime nation feeds itself. All are net importers of foods – especially staples. We in the U.S. import food but – push come to shove – we could feed ourselves. We wouldn’t have a lot of fresh veges year round and we wouldn’t have the exotic fruits etc. but we could feed ourselves even if the global transportation web crashed (as it would if our current civilization crashed). Not so MuSlime nations. Their agriculture is pretty much frozen at a 7th century technology level. The Muzzies would starve en masse. A lot would starve here but only due to transportation issues. Dr. Malthus was essentially correct. He just did not anticipate the effects of the industrial revolution and technological advances on agriculture. Drop us back to a 19th century agri-tech and watch Malthus’ predictions cone to pass.

At the time of the creation of modern Israel it was estimated that the Zionists were squeezing seven times the food production out of the ground that the Arabs were. The Palestinians were a dispossessed people even before the creation of the Jewish State because they sold their land to feed their kids. All the war did was make them unwanted refugees.
No fresh vegs, huh? So you’ve never heard of frozen vegs and fruits? Or canned stuff? They take the place of fresh stuff quite adequately. I grew up on that stuff. I helped my parents do canning and freezing. That’s just BS.
In case you haven’t been outof your house lately, Ace and Menards and Home Depot all carrying canning/preserving/freezing stuff in the spring, summer and fall. Ball-Mason issued a centennial set of canning jars in their original purple glass last year. Humans have been doing preserving foods in various ways for millenia. It isn’t something new.
Yikes. Guess OC was saying you have to either raise it or import it in order to freeze or can it.
And his point is well taken, even without leaving the US. How many of the city-dwelling multi-culti hordes could raise plant and animal foodstuffs? And how many have any idea what canning is, or have any background like yours in preserving?
Those bumper stickers about not complaining about farmers with your mouth full are more than politics, they’re a warning about what happens during a full-blown insurrection.

When Islam first conquered Egypt and North Africa in about 85 year, they created vast silt deposits in the Mediterranean Sea.
The non-farming Muslims had their 60 goats or so each and grazed them in the farm fields of the dhimini Christians. The dhimini Christians could not complain about action by the conquering “superior ‘ Muslims.And so North Africa and Egypt, formerly Western Civilization’s breadbasket exited the stage of prolific food production. And Europe had to grow more of its own food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y

They believe the only good thing “Western civ” ever produced is themselves.
As for all those wonderful toys, they do not understand that they had to be invented to fill a need. They think things like that simply exist for their benefit, because they Just Deserve Them So Much.
“Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.”- The Duke.
If you gave one of them a copy of Connections by James Burke to read, they would never understand it. The Day The Universe Changed would send them into a towering rage. After all, to them, the only “agents of change” that are supposed to exist are themselves.
“Every society rests on a barbarian base. The people who don’t understand civilization, and wouldn’t like it if they did. The hitchhikers. The people who create nothing, and who don’t appreciate what others have created for them, and who think civilization is something that just exists and that all they need to do is enjoy what they can understand of it—luxuries, a high living standard, and easy work for high pay. Responsibilities? Phooey! What do they have a government for?”
-Otto Harkaman to Lucas Trask in Space Viking by H. Beam Piper (1964), p.134
Give a barbarian a Cause and a megaphone and you get…Skye.
Shortly thereafter followed by a Hitler. Or a Mussolini. Or a Lenin. Or a Mao. (Or a Zaspar Makann and Andray Dunnan- a mouthpiece and a puppetmaster.)
Ironically, the megaphone mavens tend to be the first ones those types do away with once they have seized power. Useful idiots tend to be discarded when they are no longer useful, and tyrants need Dr. Panglosses, not Candides.
The tyrant needs everyone to believe that he has created “the best of all possible worlds”. And is perfectly willing to kill anybody who doesn’t “shut up and sing”.

My all-time favorite Piper novel. No.2 is a tie between Uller Uprising (based on the 1857-59 Sepoy Mutiny in India) and Murder in the Gunroom, his one published non-SF novel, which is actually a mystery set in the world of gun collecting, circa 1948.
You can find them both, plus most everything else Piper wrote, online for free at Project Gutenberg, and I highly recommend them.

When I get confronted (I’ve never been able to have an actual conversation) by one of these, I ask them how they like their dental care, because without modern Western Civ, the only treatment they would get, would be to pull the tooth. Mighty Ramses II, builder of mighty temples and memorials to himself, was in agony from carious teeth, abscesses, and other major dental problems. When They say that yeah, dentistry is OK, I then ask about the mining, metallergy, chemistry, transportation, electronics, and other technical infrastructure required to support it. Then I back off to a safe distance and watch their heads explode.
Like the proverbial bad penny, you just knew that Skye would turn up again eventually. “Blue haired lady”. hehehe Yeah….someday she WILL be one of those (what was the term?) third generation feminists, living alone, no family (that will acknowledge her), rejecting and rejected by all, living with a bunch of cats who will eat her as soon as she dies.

AHHH, I have to compliment Mr. Muir. I have rarely seen well drawn 🙂 cartoon character generate such strong emotions from a cartoons readers.
Skye reminds me of the extreme version of all those loony women in their stupid pink pussy hats—First World Privileged White Women living in a society built for the most part on the backs of men, maintained by men, and defended by men. These idiot women would be dead or more likely sex slaves in a week in Kandahar, Cairo, or Tehran.
I mean Skye has never had a real job, lives off mommy and daddy’s money and spits in the eye of the only person in her family who really loves her enough to try and straighten her out.
Personally,, if I were king for a day, I would make every American womyn read Tom Kratman’s novel “Caliphate”…TWICE, just so those shrews understand how good they really have it and what life for them would be really like under Islamic rule. If you’ve never read it, you should. It’s some scary shit.
Meanwhile I will happily sit back and see how Chris will get karma to run over Skye’s dogma. I’m sure it’s going to be a fun week. And yes, Skye is still one of my favorite characters.

Watch on the Rhine, his collaboration with John Ringo in the latter’s Posleen War/Legacy of the Aldenata series, is good. Both for its hard truths about war when losing means extermination, and the way “peace movements” often become the handmaids of would-be tyrants.
Seeing as the local schools are doing away with American history courses, western civ cannot be far behind. Most middle eastern mooselimbs(intentional) and American liberal democrats seem to believe that everything that is in use today was created by them. From math to history to witty inventions, (you didn’t build that) rather like Checkov in Star Trek, everything was made by them and stolen by everyone else, with no thought of payment or apology. What a bunch of maroons.

Nope. Western Civ was out the door before American History. They do still teach American History, though they usually start at the beginning (without going into detail about the colonists’ grievances or the Bill of Rights) and get to the Civil War by the end of the year. Nothing about Bell, Edison, the Wrights, Ford, or any of the other old, dead, white inventors who developed our technology.

On another website a person was gushing about how wonderful Muslim culture was especially in the field of math. According to them we deplorables would still be living in caves if it weren’t for Muslims.
I normally don’t respond to fools like that but I couldn’t help myself. I responded with what I have written below.
Muslims had no interest in math until they conquered Greece which is the actual birthplace of math. Once there they gave the Greek mathematicians the choice of converting to Islam or have their heads chopped off. They were teachers, not warriors, so they converted. Once converted the Muslims claimed the Greeks work as their own. Math came in mighty handy to them when deciding how much taxes to force on the infidels.

No fresh vegs, huh? So you’ve never heard of frozen vegs and fruits? Or canned stuff? They take the place of fresh stuff quite adequately. I grew up on that stuff. I helped my parents do canning and freezing. That’s just BS.
In case you haven’t been outof your house lately, Ace and Menards and Home Depot all carrying canning/preserving/freezing stuff in the spring, summer and fall. Ball-Mason issued a centennial set of canning jars in their original purple glass last year. Humans have been doing preserving foods in various ways for millenia. It isn’t something new.
Yikes. Guess OC was saying you have to either raise it or import it in order to freeze or can it.
And his point is well taken, even without leaving the US. How many of the city-dwelling multi-culti hordes could raise plant and animal foodstuffs? And how many have any idea what canning is, or have any background like yours in preserving?
Those bumper stickers about not complaining about farmers with your mouth full are more than politics, they’re a warning about what happens during a full-blown insurrection.
When Islam first conquered Egypt and North Africa in about 85 year, they created vast silt deposits in the Mediterranean Sea.
The non-farming Muslims had their 60 goats or so each and grazed them in the farm fields of the dhimini Christians. The dhimini Christians could not complain about action by the conquering “superior ‘ Muslims.And so North Africa and Egypt, formerly Western Civilization’s breadbasket exited the stage of prolific food production. And Europe had to grow more of its own food.

I recall it about 2/3 in. Low data now. No video for me until the next data recharge. Very interesting, and accurate I say, explanation on the West’s dark Age origin. It makes sense.
Islam grew this bloom, or hatch, of Muslims that is attacking the world to dominate it, by using oil money.
They believe the only good thing “Western civ” ever produced is themselves.
As for all those wonderful toys, they do not understand that they had to be invented to fill a need. They think things like that simply exist for their benefit, because they Just Deserve Them So Much.
If you gave one of them a copy of Connections by James Burke to read, they would never understand it. The Day The Universe Changed would send them into a towering rage. After all, to them, the only “agents of change” that are supposed to exist are themselves.
Give a barbarian a Cause and a megaphone and you get…Skye.
Shortly thereafter followed by a Hitler. Or a Mussolini. Or a Lenin. Or a Mao. (Or a Zaspar Makann and Andray Dunnan- a mouthpiece and a puppetmaster.)
Ironically, the megaphone mavens tend to be the first ones those types do away with once they have seized power. Useful idiots tend to be discarded when they are no longer useful, and tyrants need Dr. Panglosses, not Candides.
The tyrant needs everyone to believe that he has created “the best of all possible worlds”. And is perfectly willing to kill anybody who doesn’t “shut up and sing”.

Eon: Also re The Duke – “Life’s hard. It’s harder when you’re stupid.”
And re your third-to-last Paragraph, witness Zhaspar Clyntahn from David Weber’s Safehold series (seven volumes so far and just getting better and better).
John D. you’re missing something if you think “Like a Mighty Army” is the latest of the “Safehold” series. There are now NINE books in the series and I’m not sure there will be a 10th (although I hope like hell there is. we need to resolve the Gababa problem). The 8th and 9th books are “Hell’s Foundations Quiver” and “At The Sign Of Triumph” respectively.
Someone who actually read ‘Space Vikings” one of my favorite H. Beam Piper novels.
I believe I’ve read all that he got published. I think I first made his acquaintance with the double book Four Day Planet and Lone Star Planet.
My all-time favorite Piper novel. No.2 is a tie between Uller Uprising (based on the 1857-59 Sepoy Mutiny in India) and Murder in the Gunroom, his one published non-SF novel, which is actually a mystery set in the world of gun collecting, circa 1948.
You can find them both, plus most everything else Piper wrote, online for free at Project Gutenberg, and I highly recommend them.

I’m partial to the Little Fuzzy series, myself. Must check out these others, though!
Thank you, everyone. I now have more books on my wishlist.
Yes, but if they scream loud and long enough, they’ll lose more and more people to the other side of the political fence.
You can only be with the crazy-pants people for just so long before it starts to make you deaf to their screaming.
When I get confronted (I’ve never been able to have an actual conversation) by one of these, I ask them how they like their dental care, because without modern Western Civ, the only treatment they would get, would be to pull the tooth. Mighty Ramses II, builder of mighty temples and memorials to himself, was in agony from carious teeth, abscesses, and other major dental problems. When They say that yeah, dentistry is OK, I then ask about the mining, metallergy, chemistry, transportation, electronics, and other technical infrastructure required to support it. Then I back off to a safe distance and watch their heads explode.

Hey DT, where ya been? And where’s your redblooded redhaired partner in erotic suggestivity? Had any contact?
Nope, no idea.

Like the proverbial bad penny, you just knew that Skye would turn up again eventually. “Blue haired lady”. hehehe Yeah….someday she WILL be one of those (what was the term?) third generation feminists, living alone, no family (that will acknowledge her), rejecting and rejected by all, living with a bunch of cats who will eat her as soon as she dies.
Bitch needs a true “Come to Jesus” experience. Something so serious it will blow that left wing bullshit clean OUT!
Seems like she’s had several already, but consequences just don’t stick. She reminds me of Kirsty Alley’s rabid abolishonist character in North and South. One mistake after another, each one worse, but her family took her back. She didn’t understand the consequences of her actions until the trap door opened under her on the gallows.
What Skye needs is to be completely cut off, no free lunch, no phone, no EBT. Just “prove your worth, if you won’t work, you won’t eat” frontier survival.
Zar Belk!
The Boss needs to somehow set Skye down in some Islamic hotspot for a few days.
Iraq, Iran, Deerborn…watch the fun happen. He could have Zed rescue her at the last moment, before she is torn to bits after being chained to 4 stallion, or set on fire in a cage.
Or not.
London, Paris, or Stockholm. Or best (or worst?) of all, Berlin. The latter now resembles its state 98 years ago, during the Communist/Spartacist uprisings.
I don’t think Frau Blucher (WHIINNNEEEE) anticipated being a cross between Friedrich Ebert and Heinrich Bruning. But that’s how she’ll probably be defined by future historians.

“Sharia for a week” holiday anyone? Someone should suggest it in New York and California and see if it catches on.
Ugh! What a nasty woman.
Come on youse guys! Quit tearing my Hunny down! Skye is NOTHING but a drawing.
Try the Real idiots, like the ones blocking Betsy DeVos, shades of Gov. Wallace and the Dems. How about real anger at the ones burning, beating and destroying? Skye is Cute!
She ain’t cute, she’s just drawn that way. She’s really collective caricature of collectivist womyn. Albeit, in a soi dissant cute package.
Whenever I see someone advocating tearing this country down I have to wonder if they’ve given any thought to the economic consequences for the entire world if they succeeded.
You don’t really wonder, do you? 😉
You’re assuming they can add two and two and get four consistently. Which is a very unsafe assumption for products of our modern educational system.

I wonder if they have ever experienced anything other than the benign, tolerant government that they are protesting against. Take a trip to Cuba, and go in farther than the ‘Tourist mile”. Or try a sample of the “World’s best medical care” as long as you bring your own linens, food, meds, and bandages. The doctors may be good, but the rest is 19th century at best, pre-Pasture 19th century at that.
Zar Belk!
Doctors who defect have about same medical skills as a medic.
What do you call the person who graduated last in medical school on the island nation of Grenada?
Doctor – you gotta search to find a competent physician. We got lucky 20 years ago & he keeps his patients after they age into Medicare
Venezuela is worse than Cuba. Much worse. How long before it completely implodes, I don’t know, but it will make one black hole swallowing another look like a 6-year-old eating a fudgsicle.
AHHH, I have to compliment Mr. Muir. I have rarely seen well drawn 🙂 cartoon character generate such strong emotions from a cartoons readers.
Skye reminds me of the extreme version of all those loony women in their stupid pink pussy hats—First World Privileged White Women living in a society built for the most part on the backs of men, maintained by men, and defended by men. These idiot women would be dead or more likely sex slaves in a week in Kandahar, Cairo, or Tehran.
I mean Skye has never had a real job, lives off mommy and daddy’s money and spits in the eye of the only person in her family who really loves her enough to try and straighten her out.
Personally,, if I were king for a day, I would make every American womyn read Tom Kratman’s novel “Caliphate”…TWICE, just so those shrews understand how good they really have it and what life for them would be really like under Islamic rule. If you’ve never read it, you should. It’s some scary shit.
Meanwhile I will happily sit back and see how Chris will get karma to run over Skye’s dogma. I’m sure it’s going to be a fun week. And yes, Skye is still one of my favorite characters.
GruntGI, thanks for the recommendation, I just downloaded Caliphate. Kratman looks to be a good read; and it looks like he has a few series. Any recommendations on them?
ALL of them 🙂
Watch on the Rhine, his collaboration with John Ringo in the latter’s Posleen War/Legacy of the Aldenata series, is good. Both for its hard truths about war when losing means extermination, and the way “peace movements” often become the handmaids of would-be tyrants.

Oh Tom Kratman No!
Seeing as the local schools are doing away with American history courses, western civ cannot be far behind. Most middle eastern mooselimbs(intentional) and American liberal democrats seem to believe that everything that is in use today was created by them. From math to history to witty inventions, (you didn’t build that) rather like Checkov in Star Trek, everything was made by them and stolen by everyone else, with no thought of payment or apology. What a bunch of maroons.
Nope. Western Civ was out the door before American History. They do still teach American History, though they usually start at the beginning (without going into detail about the colonists’ grievances or the Bill of Rights) and get to the Civil War by the end of the year. Nothing about Bell, Edison, the Wrights, Ford, or any of the other old, dead, white inventors who developed our technology.
On another website a person was gushing about how wonderful Muslim culture was especially in the field of math. According to them we deplorables would still be living in caves if it weren’t for Muslims.
I normally don’t respond to fools like that but I couldn’t help myself. I responded with what I have written below.
Muslims had no interest in math until they conquered Greece which is the actual birthplace of math. Once there they gave the Greek mathematicians the choice of converting to Islam or have their heads chopped off. They were teachers, not warriors, so they converted. Once converted the Muslims claimed the Greeks work as their own. Math came in mighty handy to them when deciding how much taxes to force on the infidels.
Western civility must end in certain proper circumstances.
Certain people and their actions deserve no civility in their treatment by Western Civilization.
They are at war with Western Civilization. War means something. Something raw, nasty, mean, angry violent, and destructive to those who wage war against western Civilization.
I guess you could say Skye is returning to her roots…
heh
I’m sort of surprised her “unpronounceable symbol”doesn’t have Hunter S. Thompson’s double-thumbed fist clutching a peyote button in the middle. That would just be so…Skye.
