So we are civilized either by temperament and custom, or by force, as some children are mild and need few rules, and some are undisciplined, spoiled, and need punishment.
I say this because I was hearing news about a certain scum culture and ethos with regard to our neighbors to the south. Specifically the cartels -- Zeta, Sinaloa, Ciudad Juárez, Nuevo Laredo Tijuana, Matamoros. Savage border towns ruled by drug cartel anarchy and terror.
Unless it's your head on the block, it doesn't matter, the details. It's like knowing the details of
yes, it's history, not current events. But that's the differene between a depraved legacy, and a depraved present -- if you're not affected, as by violence and crime on your very streets, it's practically theory -- like sewer gas that you get used to.
And I was thinking about what civilization is. What happens when the agreement falls apart, and there is no power to impose justice? The rules of civilization are no longer in play. You can't play with cheaters. Civilization is not a thing, an object. It is a set of rules that apply only under particular circumstances. When those circumstances change, behavior must change.
So, Los Zetas, the Letter People, whose names must not be uttered, such is their terror, like Voldemort. It's not just that they behead, say, journalists. They sew in penises where tongues once were. They are to be destroyed through uncivilized means. On a Night or Week or Month of Long Knives, they must be isolated and butchered as one butchers pigs. Not warned, not frightened, not driven away, not reformed, not saved. Slaughtered. Also, their children must be killed, and their wives, and their abuelitas.

No quarter. Is this savage? Of course it is. But civilization, like the Constitution, is not a suicide pact.
Night of the Long Knives was a Nazi thing. Soviet purges just swept people up, innocent with the guilty, if there were any guilty. KGB custom was to come for you at 3 AM, the Devil's Hour.
But, no quarter. A very unchristian proposition, you assert. I agree. Let us examine the point. Jesus could afford to sacrifice himself, offer himself as the archetypal victim, because he was the Son of God. Among other things, it is his nature and purpose to sacrifice and suffer and die. So may it be for every good man, to be selfless. But the family situation of Jesus did not stop only with his Father. Or rather, it did stop there. He was, you see, not married, and had no children. He could afford to sacrifice himself. No one was depending on him. Please don't quibble. My meaning is clear.
It is the first duty of a man to protect his family -- by which is not meant his birth family, the one that happenstance or Providence placed him helpless within, but his real family is, becomes the one that he himself forms out of his own character and commitment. A man who follows his theoretical ideals about helping his neighbor, or the stranger, or the monster, at the sacrifice of his children, this person is not just a fool -- he is a reprobate. Help the stranger, second -- perhaps as a way of teaching your children about decency, about civilized conduct.\.
When society, culture, government, fails to protect from savages, when the social compact is abrogated, disavowed, then vigilantism is not just understandable, it is required as an act of survival. Honor and manliness, are civilized and barbarian traits, both. But self defense is justice.

To save civilization, the families of monsters will suffer, as, in the decline of civilization the families of the innocent do suffer.
This is not Old Testament verses New Testament. It is how to save a society in the first instance, and how to save an individual in the second. No contradiction. Different contexts. Evil is not tamed or accommodated. It is contained or destroyed.
You might tame a wild fierce animal -- but do not trust it around children.
That is the battlefield upon which we find ourselves. Savage gangs, cartels, and their filthy corrupt governments, among which I count the current American regime.

We, who adhere to that highest american ideal, rule of law -- we would be peaceful but must be fierce. Find the multiple heads of the monster and lop them off. Which follows the cartells example, only virtuously. Perhaps the monster's limbs, the digits, little toes, will fall still. Satan cannot be saved. Like the poor, evil will always be with us. With the poor, we are kind and firm, mindful of compassion, diligent to not enable sloth, prudent in our stewardship, grateful for our own blessings. With evil we must be intolerant and judgmental and utterly bigoted, and we must hate it. God loves, but he hates. Jesus rejoices always, but he was angry. Deal with it. Both. Different circumstances call up different reactions, out of a righteous character.
We are at the end of our civilization. Only a Great Awakening could actually save us, understanding that every civilization falls. Almost all of the kings of Israel were bad, so, what hope have we?

A politican and presidential aspirant once observed, to great derision, that about half of Americans get an unearned government check. Approx 25 million others get a government check for their employment. Is that 60%? -- I'm to lazy and self-indulgent to bother to verify, and do math. But, who has the grit to stand against the check-writer? European college students have been observed to riot, at the mere suggestion of receiving less than their parents did, regardless of any impending calamity.
Any continent that has had to look to Germans to save it is doomed. And here we are, open borders, paying illegals 10k in tribute to their, what, brownness? Indigence? Can I say that? I'd say the same of Norwegians, if they were invading. The vikings were monsters. My people. Then. See the point? Uncivilized.
What hope? No hope. Or only that which will come from sacrifice -- blood sacrifice, in the case of, say, monstrous drug lords, lords, and their acolytes. And there are not enough men in the world, resolute enough to pick up knives and start butchering the pigs.
So as I sometimes do, I ask again, am I serious. Of course not. You don't kill family. Well, drone strikes, bombing terrorist compounds. What's the euphemism? Collateral damage. "Collateral" is a word nobody ever uses, except as an adjectival modifier of "damage". Damage, here, is a euphemism for "killings". And "killings" is a euphemism for, well, fill it in yourself. Then do the same for "abortion".
People who use euphemisms are not serious. So, then, as I say: kill them.
