The sovereign is he who may declare the exception.
Thinking about this quote a lot as I read @erikcason Cryptosovereignty.
The quote is from Carl Schmitt who’s biography is impossible to verify. Modern historians cast him as an unrepentant Nazi, but looking into his work - that just seems impossible.
No people exercised the act of sovereignty by exception as hard as European Jews for the last 2000 years - at least up until 80 years ago.
Prior to the internet, Jews were the torchbearers for sovereignty in Diaspora. After a 2000 year “Then they fight you” phase, they were bought and are now generations removed from their based outlaw grandparents.
There is no exception more egregious to the state than rejecting Christianity. The bigger the exception, the greater the sovereignty.
We should be learning from them and not falsely associating the Fiat cumlords who bought them (who happen to be Jewish) with them.
