>"...you forged these barbaric lands into some semblence of order..."
It's ongoing. I continually effect good order where I am. Others did before me, and others will after. Now is my turn. It's what free people do to effect society. Those before me do not obviate my undertaking good order, and those after me will not obviate it either.
>"...established measure and standards..."
This is not some possession. It is culture itself. It is not a thing I have, it is a thing I do, as did my fathers before me, and my sons will after me. Do not confuse legacies with grants.
>"...wrote legal statutes to regulate and resolve civil and criminal conflicts..."
Are these mine? Where do I keep my culture? In my wallet? We live in a society, and that society is not a possession. It is our expression. Do differentiate between property and properties.
>"...fended off would be raiders and pillagers..."
Yes, as necessary. As good neighbors do, I stand on the wall that defends my kith and kine from barbarians and would be overlords, to keep safe them that cannot keep safe themselves. I have deployed necessary security measures on several occasions, last not two years ago. Fortunately for him, the men at my sides were not eager to bleed him, and his mother rescued him (well into his 50s), chiding him for pulling a knife on men armed with guns. Again, not a possession, but a legacy passed down by my people, and which I will pass down to my posterity.
You seem intent on conflating what I am with what I have. What claim have I made you try to refute?
That all I have I am responsible for myself, and depend on no grant from my peers - whom you call betters. What overlord has been other than a hindrance and a parasite on my family, friends, and neighbors? Will you name such benevolent dictator? Nothing but vermin seek such powers as you proclaim unattainable to mere mortal men, yet sought and claimed by venal deceivers and their thugs. That I have no slaves, gods, nor betters, only peers, neither untermensch nor ubermensch. Men like John Adams.
>"...instituted sociocultural focus and unity all by your lonesome self!"
And there's your real complaint: I do not obey the dictates of those that would be king, not you, not gods, nor any man. Them as would make of free men slaves to their rule, to impose a perversion of the 'sociocultural focus and unity' free people organically effect in good faith, are the enemy of mankind, and it's most cruel predators. The men at my sides were friends, my peers - not minions or overlords.
While unceasing attempts are exerted to domesticate free men, and by confusing them from birth with false indoctrinations and incessant propaganda this succeeds to a degree, it has not worked on me, and will not. When SHTF, the hapless chattel in corrals will perish anon, and who will carry the day will be - as it always has - free men effecting their own ends and so unsusceptible to machinations of corrupt overlords.
>"...Santanists..."
I find this a telling typo. In conversation with Carlos Santana I related that life was an act of war. He agreed, and pointed out that alone of creation Men can create peace out of war. This is, of course, the opposite of what you espouse and mean. The Satanists whom you refer to are exactly that ilk seeking political power, abusing the innocent to extort the corrupt, the Epsteins, Mossads, Cohns, Trumps, and Xinpings. Look what Xinping does: he has forced Hui Muslims to labor in Pigeon Hills' wineries, an abomination to their religion, their culture, forcing them into 'sociocultural focus and unity' through enslaving them.
Those are your people, not mine. They do not speak truly when spewing rhetoric about freedom, because what they effect is slavery. That dichotomy between rhetoric and action is possibly the best diagnosis of a Satanist, or a politician (but I repeat myself). It is they for whom you advocate, the domesticators of free men.
Selah! None of this matters. As the powers of men to build and create goods and services continually increases, the balance of power continually shifts to free men. Institutions, now able to coerce the free to serve or die, will soon not possess that ability. When institutions, commanded by parasites and their thugs, can no longer project force because free men have built their own security measures, the next pointy stick in technology's incessant advance, the very idea of institutional power will die, obsolete, consigned to the grave where it belongs.
Then the sons of free men will cast their seed into the fertile furrows of the innumerable galaxies and worlds across the skies, as far as East is from West, wherever they will roam and light betimes. Psychopaths craving only power over men at any cost will rage and despair, their insane lusts unquenchable, unrequited forever thereafter, until they abandon their pretentions. When they acknowledge that just like you, just like me, and just like John Adams, they are but our peers, their suffering will end, and with it their insalubrious predation on good people.
Edit: it was not I first said "And I say you are gods.", but I affirm it is true. I point to it on the horizon, and describe how it will come.
It comes.
