Despotism and Authority

An element from a nomadic to settlement, a characteristic, in nomadic oral transmission of knowledge—which included a historical memory and experience, the organization was based in kinship at life time besides of the immediate group for safety and security, all changes when small settlements transform into agriculture, where the need of specialized knowledge created the experts, in cities around and in Mesopotamia an elite of priest knowing the cultivation season transform in dynastic—Egypt innovated not just as servant to the Gods as traditions Mesopotamia Cities, but the Pharaohs become Gods and only them have access to the Gods.

All change when the tribe setup in Athens, become to the demos, moreover the political contrast the tyrant achieved in the name security, like Pisistratus (600 – 527 BC) ruling as tyrant in the late 560s, the early 550s and from 546 BC until his death. Pisistratus pushed for the unification of Attica, his legacy lies primarily in his institution of the Panathenaic Games, historically assigned the date of 566 BC, and the consequent first attempt at producing a definitive version of the Homeric epics. Pisistratus championing of the lower class of Athens as an example of populism, with his power, he confront the aristocracy and reduce their privileges, confiscating their lands and giving them to the poor.

Pisistratus descents also name for the three tyrants as clan name, who ruled in Athens from 546 to 510 BC, his two sons, Hipparchus and Hippias.

Rome in name security, the Consul obtained absolute power by Cesar stop being a human and now God, when Christianity become official religion of the Empire, the regents had power direct by God, this become the foundation Aristocrats in Europe, the Church in the name of God legitimized by coronation the regent, the Church invested the power by God. Napoleon with the secularization of the Empire, the Holy alliance between Prussia, Austria and Russia set seeds of rebellion for 20^th but did not stops population to be summited an authority—the Imperial WWI and genocidal race war of WWII, but the authoritarian underline and race, not just the US, but the Soviet based in 18^th Russification as equality, despised Genocide of 6 Million Jews and victims of conflict, the soul of humanity had not been redeemed, the racist and authoritarian still with us, US with section of population advocating white supremacist, in Europe the same white supremacist  creating exclusion. Russia delusion of Empire to imposed Russification to Ukraine, in Asia China the authoritarian tradition with ethical and Kong Qiu structure of society, while work in setting a foundation, the lack of transparency, the authoritarian denial created a corruption, but the inability to overcome economic problems as demonstration due COVID just beginning, like all populist, Imperial and racial solutions does not resolved the grievance, because the underline not just political power, but economic—solutions only possible when societies are transparent.

A question for Tolerance

 

Montaigne essays were a reaction to the religious war between Protestant Calvinist and Catholics, since St. Bartholomew's Day massacre take place in 1572 instigated by the Queen Catherine de' Medici, the mother of King Charles IX, the massacre started a few days after the marriage on 18 August of the king's sister Margaret to the Protestant King Henry III of Navarre, in a previous occasion in 12^th the Albigensian Crusade 1209–1229 was a military and ideological campaign initiated by Pope Innocent III to eliminate Catharism in Languedoc, southern France. The Crusade was prosecuted primarily by the French crown and promptly took on a political aspect out the greed of French Monarchy wanted the wealth produce in the region—wine production, the same industrial of Protestant in textile production in Bordeaux and Amiens.

The Cathars originated from an anti-materialist reform movement within the Bogomil churches of the Balkans calling for what they saw as a return to the Christian message of perfection, poverty and preaching, combined with a rejection of the physical to the point of starvation. The reforms were a reaction against the often perceived scandalous and dissolute lifestyles of the Catholic clergy in southern France a prelude to Luther protest.

Their theology, neo-Gnostic was basically a dualist. Several of their practices, especially their belief in the inherent evil of the physical world, conflicted with the doctrines of the Incarnation of Christ and Catholic sacraments.

They became known as the Albigensians because there were many adherents in the city of Albi and the surrounding area in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Between 1022 and 1163, the Cathars were condemned by eight local church councils, the last of which, held at Tours, declared that all Albigenses should be put into prison and have their property confiscated. The Third Lateran Council of 1179 repeated the condemnation. Innocent III's diplomatic attempts to roll back Catharism were met with little success. After the murder of his legate Pierre de Castelnau in 1208, and suspecting that Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse was responsible, Innocent III declared a crusade against the Cathars. He offered the lands of the Cathar heretics to any French nobleman willing to take up arms.

The Albigensian Crusade had a role in the creation and institutionalization of both the Dominican Order and the Medieval Inquisition. The Dominicans promulgated the message of the Church and spread it by preaching the Church's teachings in towns and villages to stop the spread of alleged heresies, while the Inquisition investigated people who were accused of teaching heresies. Because of these efforts, all discernible traces of the Cathar movement were eradicated by the middle of the 14th century.  The Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars an act of genocide.

In the case of French Calvinist, their massacre began in the night of 23–24 August 1572, the eve of the feast of Bartholomew the Apostle, two days after the attempted assassination of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the military and political leader of the Huguenots. King Charles IX ordered the killing of Huguenot leaders, including Coligny, and the slaughter spread throughout Paris. Lasting for weeks, the massacre expanded to the countryside and urban centres, which had concentration of Calvinist such Amiens, estimates for the number of dead across France vary widely, from 5,000 to 30,000.

Montaigne working in his essay having the position of the Mayer of Bordeaux suffering of pandemic take advantage and he self-imposed isolation of 10 years to write his essays. In the First Book Chapter II of Sadness or Sorrow: convey the reaction of Psamneticus king of Egypt losing to Cambises the Persian King, the reaction of the King of Egypt to the killing of his sons and daughters, what more is the isolation, this isolation created fear and from the fear hate to anyone like us.

While WWI the xenophobic nationalism of Germany and losing the war, the Spanish flue pandemic accelerated isolation and then when National Socialism (or equality for the ones who share the same), the hate from National Socialism had easy time in taking roots, without consider any consequence, Montaigne respond to this isolation a call for tolerance.

Santayana point out, we repeat history by having historical amnesia, 75 year since holocaust and 500 years since then British Colony and now the US, which was developed used free labour—slaves.

While Arendt point out, slaves being used in Antiquated and Islam in pagans, the British rationalization of such economic engine—the used of race.

When abolished the slave as intuition, the used segregation as the new economic model, Nixon used as political instrument, the Christianity become as religion of Rome Empire, become a political an institution, the tendencies of Republics to be run by Oligarchies, in the US took shape in the Republican Party, the economics run by Oligarchies tend to leave in crises—since objective is to benefit the few, in case of US the privilege only to whites—the Bush Junior invasion of Iraq accelerated an economic crises—and tax cuts for the white Oligarchy induce a crises—the reaction and desperation elected first African American president—the reaction was to elected not since early 20^th century an open white supremacist and open racist supremacist, with his Republican party open coup e´tat, his  incompetence kill 1.1 Million of his own country men, his Autocratic tendencies—converge with naivety of Marx—the because as Orwell in the Animal Farm, just because you are the same does not mean you will not different from the previous tyrant, Marx experiment lasted 70 years in old Soviet, which genocide their own. The incompetence of their elites and isolation collapse the society—in the end a society run by an elite which robbed their own society—and delusion of Czar Empire a Genocide in Ukraine, while in case of Georgia or Chechens, but Ukraine fight back, the same delusion suffering by elites in China or Theocracy states Saudi, Iran or Afghanistan, in the end the isolation and incompetence, one certainty we can´t take anything thing from this world all what we leaving our actions and good names—history full dust, because in the end we are just that.

Power

 

Inequality in society rise from a contradiction, where to maintain control the elite, whom rationalized their power, while believe as early human settlements in Middle East with introduction of Agriculture, the early settlements become not just a centers of power, but place where experts are gather, this become the essences of power. To maintain the power the need for the Agriculture society the time for cultivation and harvests to follow the skies priest become the ones to read the heavens to give the time, open the foundation to Mathematics, Hydrology, Astronomy, the used of signals for the heavens the Astrology, the Gods of Babylon and Canaan, the foundation of Astro-Gods, created bases for evolution to Monotheism where nation gods become a single God, history of Sargon become the history of Moses, the Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylon become Genesis book, where Gilgamesh history become Noah, the chronology of Sumerian Kings become Methuselah Generation, the Hammurabi laws become the book eventually the Persian duality become itself reason entree, where the Babylonian tree of life—the Gods Parthenon become the spirituality for monotheism and Baal become the Chariot of temple of Jerusalem.

Constantine created Political Christianity by given the Roman Empire dueling on corruption a political Religion, Mohammad understood and itself reproduced Constantine dream political power, by creating a version.

For Christianity and Islam the challenge was Judaism as the keepers of covenanted, in Islam the Mosque in Athens Parthenon to make a claim as historical conclusion, Hegel try show was historical conclusion, while the Age of Discovery and Industrialization in Europe mass production put end Islam expansion, while used slaves as economics was part of societies from Sumerian, Akkadians, Assyria, Babylon from Egypt, Rome and Athens, must of the salves are prisoners of war or not able to repay debt. The innovation of industrial used of Slaves introduced by Portugal the innovation was Color as rationalization, the British make an institution, the US made enforceable institution, while Russia Czar in the name of the Christian God slaves the their own peasants as serfs.

Mississippi race laws become based for Germany National Socialism, where percent become definition who is a Jew and racial laws applied the cost while Ottoman implemented Genocide as solution to control population case of Armenians Genocide by Ottomans, Germany in 1930´s implement industrial mass murder based racial laws against the Jews.

 US institutions, in the South Economy based on Color Slaves and US as nation white supremacist, the white populism revival in US become into place because the white privilege become just another group losing benefices, become clear when Obama become President, white in the US become aware with his election the white Supremacist which take over the Republican party started from Nixon and Culminated the fourth open white supremacist president Trump.

The conflict by Putin delusion of Russia, Russification of his neighbors due the same symptom of losing Russia privilege can´t accept Russia just another nation, the same plague affected China delusion of Empire.

We all are trying to hold to transient moment, whereas Pharaohs we just become dust in the wind, we can´t hold, we are just transient.
