I think this comes under ‘7. Demand defence distract’, but then the
meta principle here is an important one which I’ll add as 13. Repeat
cycle

If anyone else would like to comment on the Heidegger list code of
practice for proscription please feel free as I think we’re getting
close to a final draft. Also what do people think about
universalizing its principles? In one sense what is being proposed
here are global principles for proscription insofar as “Americanism”
is a global concept rather than anything merely confined to America
so in a sense it involves all non-American “Americans” as well, or at
very least all of us non-Americans who are party to the “Coalition of
the Willing”. On the other hand proscription is itself not something
merely American but as a formal practice dates back to the
legislative tradition of the Roman Republic under Sulla. In an
informal sense one might even say the tendency for proscription, as a
function of polemos, is universal to all of us and crosses all
cultural/ethnic/religious/national borders, or can we only speak for
us moderns?

Cheers,

Malcolm
