Now that is some righteous smackdown. You guys are blog rolled.
At the risk of giving offense I hope you "Keep up the Skeer."

The state doesn't quite reflect on peoples of all races.

One of the things James Scott misses is that states -are- militarily superior. Conscription is wrong, but it is also effective. If a neighbour has been stupid enough to allow a state parasite to grow unchecked, you may have no choice but to appeal to a more local parasite for protection.

I happen to think this is a solvable conundrum, but historically the net result is that a society infected with statism causes and inflames infections nearby. Statism infections are devilish to cure; lately only Somalia (of all places) has managed to rid itself, and new infections are already taking hold. Similarly, it doesn't matter how resistant to statism you are if you can't mount a sufficiently concentrated military defence.


Though yeah, I can't believe I didn't think of that myth thing sooner. It's so obvious now you've pointed it out. Africans sometimes believe in murdering albinos for pointless rituals. Sure, that's wrong.

Americans believe in murdering hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of arabs because a tower fell down. It's not even in the same league of wrong. (No disrespect meant to the friends and families of those victims, of course.)

The main difference is that anglophones find magic unfashionable and 'nation building' fashionable.
