False Sense of "Fraternity" Infects Constantinople, Too

His All-Holiness: Proper religious education "prepares children & young men or women to participate in the creation of a world of peace, where human beings can see in the face of their fellow human beings a brother & sister, rather than a threat or enemy.” https://t.co/XVmmPRvqgy pic.twitter.com/xDoBMkCTmb

Human Fraternity

All of us are brothers and sisters! Let us pray to the Most High that, after this time of trial, there may no longer be “others”, but rather, a great “we”, rich in diversity.

He Knows That His Human Fraternity is Not Scriptural

Today as we celebrate the #BirthOfMary, let us ask our Mother to help us rediscover the beauty of being God's children, overcoming differences and conflicts, to live as brothers and sisters.

Dunbar's Number

Most people associate Dunbar’s number with 150, but it’s more nuanced than that.

For instance, the 150 *includes* all prior circles of relations (5 + 15 + 50).

It Takes a Tribe

Attunement is essential for a young nervous system to grow healthy. It’s also a great help for adults dealing with trauma. We all need to feel that love some time, preferably OFTEN.

What Sort of Communitarianism?

CWR: Finding the path to renewal in the Church: An interview with Brandon McGinley by Paul Senz

“We have everything we need to renew the Church and the world,” says the author of The Prodigal Church, “but we just don’t recognize it because we’ve been so well-catechized by secularism.”

McGinley: "But at the same time, we can say that tight-knit networks of families have been essential to the Church’s flourishing through time, and then try to figure out what that looks like in the circumstances of our society and each family. We can say that a confident sacramentality in parish life sustains communities, and then discern how that works in a new, shrinking spiritual geography. And so on."

Who decides upon sanctions and enforces them?

Either “we are siblings, or we destroy each other,” Pope Francis said. “Today, there’s no time for indifference. We cannot wash our hands. With distance, with disregard, with contempt. Either we are brothers, or everything comes crumbling down.”https://t.co/qK2ocu9D4F

Sex Roles Are Based on Real Sex Differences

Men are societies boundary setters and defenders.

When we do our job both men and women have clear expectations and limits on acceptable behaviour leading to a wholesome society.

When we fail, society degenerates and collapses.#RestorePatriarchy https://t.co/XsDvoRugGk

And will some recognize this? Or will their plan go the way of all utopian social experiments? Who in her extended family is making the decisions for this? I bet it's the strong women who are.

my extended family has discovered the concept of "mutual aid" and has determined that it is up to us to build the new world in the ashes of the old

Define Society

A society is all the more human to the degree that it cares effectively for its most frail and suffering members, in a spirit of fraternal love. https://t.co/QerQ2QbOiz

Glad to see Japanese people pushing back against this garbage, but I still see some assuming that Nike has good intentions with this.

They don't. This type of victim worship makes people hate their national identity, which is why the Globalist corporate types love it. https://t.co/0v2GljZrsi

After 20M plus simulations, the authors found that the same basic answer kept coming back: The more diverse or integrated a neighborhood is, the less socially cohesive it becomes, while the more homogenous or segregated it is, the more socially cohesive.https://t.co/QjABWId7xj

A poor but necessary substitute for fraternity and the tribe?

Unit Cohesion and Fraternity

A comment over at Sailer's blog:

There is a Youtube channel called Visualizing History that had a presentation on why the Wehrmacht did not collapse in 1944 like the Allies expected it to, whereas the German Imperial Army essentially collapsed in July 1918 and fought only defensively thereafter. The answer was the cohesion of the Wehrmacht was much much higher than that of the Kaiser.

While the Imperial Army suffered something like only a 1/4 of the casualties of the Wehrmacht and lost cohesion, the Wehrmacht kept it until January 1945. Despite suffering a combined nearly 800K casualties on both the West (around 140K) and the East (the balance) during the Summer of 1944. That’s more than 2.8 Stalingrad’s worth of casualties. The secret was that the Army units until quite late were comprised of people from the same region, who if they did not personally know each other likely knew mutual acquaintances and relatives. They spoke the same dialect. Military competence was rewarded and officers were more likely to die in combat than soldiers. Even Generals had only a few percentage points less casualty rates than soldiers. Each unit had its own decorations and distinctiveness, and medals were awarded not to the Aristocracy only but mostly to ordinary soldiers and not for kamikaze stuff but ordinary bravery where the soldiers survived at least the initial encounter. This was in marked contrast in every way to the Imperial Army where none of these conditions held. It is why to Ike’s astonishment the Wehrmacht did not simply collapse but kept fighting on until April 1945.
