History

The first time I met an egotistical loudmouth braggadocious swaggart from Queens, I couldn't believe that someone like that made it through grade school without getting the living daylights beat out of them on a routine basis. Then I got stationed in in the Bronx working with egotistical loudmouth braggadocious swaggering longshoremen from Queens and the other Burroughs. It was normal expected behaviour.

Trump is polite and easy to do business with compared to them.

Miencraft, Miri Islands

Stan Lee imagined Spiderman to be a swaggering immature loudmouth bradagodious nerd from Queens with spider-powers. Perhaps Trump was bitten by a radioactive/genetically modified psychic persimmon. The evidence is that he leaves a long-lasting bitter taste in villains minds that manifest as Trump Derangement Syndrome, but like Benjamin Grimm (mutated by cosmic rays), the lovable blue-eyed Thing who is permanently orange -- Trump has been left with a slight orange tint under certain lighting conditions.

Wow! Keith Ellison (MOAT) sums up is what is wrong with this country. Self-righteous despots, windbags who speak to us like we are morons bereft of moral compass, and sums up in 3000 words what could be said in 30 without his own self-aggrandizement or foisting his own statist agenda whom he makes about not the wrongful death of George Floyd but his magical belief in statism.

A man is dead whom in the care of a "peace officer" commiting a war crime in the obvious violation another man's right to life which NO ONE around did their Constitutional duty to interpose themselves and stop it from happening. Has MO raised a generation of cowards who do not understand their own system of governance? Everyone who failed to stop Chauvin are guilty of that man's blood -- the fellow "police officers" the EMTs, and the onlooking crowd from dying unjustly. Floyd most certainly would have died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, but that is a different matter.

Ellison, instead of saying, "All political power of the State of Missouri rests in your hands as Citizens, and it is your duty to step in when something goes wrong" he blathers on and on. I would rather be tried by a jury for stopping a police officer murdering a man in cold blood, than have to live with the torment of my conscience the rest of my life for not stopping monsters like Chauvin. George Floyd should have been left in the care of the EMTs.

I recently lost a lifelong childhood friend over this. We have the same interests and hobbies, and share a group of acquaintances. We get along except when talking politics wherein we argue like 10 year old brothers (or Dan Bongino and Geraldo Rivera of Fox). I cited CDC and medical research and posited that was not about health and safety but destroying the American Experiment. When I pointed out that this is the tactic always used by tyrants, he had an emotional melt down and left. The next day he left a "our friendship is over" letter on my doorpost and blocked me on his phone. The letter stated that his "mental health" was more important than our friendship.

He has been convinced in the self-refuting construct that freedom, liberty, and self-government are the enemies of freedom, liberty, and self-government, and that it is up to the Statists in power must save us from ourselves. :( He has chosen to believe lies, and live by those lies.

That would once work once, back when back when we were a free country and nearly every activity was free from government (Statist) interference or input. Now that we are an unfree banana republic on the way to Marxist police state almost every topic is politicized. There is very few things that can be discussed without falling on either the side of Truth and Liberty or Lies and Tyranny. Unless something is done to change our trajectory, things will only get worse from here.

Right.

Which is for one reason why I welcome the protests that promote the need for police accountability. But, taking your anger out on local businesses isn't exactly the answer. Go after the people in charge.

Derek Chauvin is an authoritarian pig and a murderer as far as I am concerned. Won't say that Floyd was an innocent, but he surely didn't deserve the fate that fell onto him.

A little joke from Scotland. After the massacre at Glencoe there was an investigation into the government. Since the troops entered the Glen under the assumption of peaceful intentions It was a "massacre under trust" which was considered treason by the government's own laws. The punch line is: the government has investigated itself and determined it did nothing wrong

After a heated debate by our region’s Council of Synarchs, the Defense Bureau has terminated its counter-revolutionary projects in all regions above D level hostility. We will be continuing our work in D level regions due to agreements with those region’s administrations.

After approving this, the Supreme Executive has also decided to declassify all documents relating to Operations “Red Fleet Farm” and “NSleft Behind.”

I personally disagree with the Supreme Executive’s decision end the project, which was very successful, but sadly, our region’s Marxist member’s, Venom, Jaden, and the damned Afro-Nationalist Tampa, hold more sway. This is what happens when we let our Libertarian, Conservative, and Christian values fall from the forefront of our region’s policy and allow new members in who don’t hold vigorously to them. Now we will most likely struggle to hold onto the D level regions.

Declassifying these will reveal our operatives, many of whom have managed to embed themselves deep into the A level regions and will not only weaken the position of not only our region, but also our allies. Months of carefully planned and directed reworking of our region to the peripheral of the Left’s view and shadows of its memory will be lost. All because Aux wouldn’t just accept that he lost at our last time playing poker. Don’t tell me that’s not what this is about.

I hope they• are proud.

when someone talks about the “libertarian to fascist pipeline” it usually means one of three things:

1. “I was a supporter of free speech and the right to dissent but stopped caring as soon as someone I liked was in the White House.”

2. “I called myself a libertarian to sound cool but couldn’t stand the fact that people were allowed to do things I didn’t approve of. You know, the core idea behind all libertarian ideologies.”

3. “I’m making stuff up to demoralize my political opponents.”

The amount of disinformation about right to work is annoying. I remember as a kid being brainwashed into believing right to work laws were pretty much designed to break up unions.

Ironically, if your union would lose so much money that it'd have to be disbanded, if joining it wasn't mandatory, then it needs to be broken.

Yes, workers need a way to challenge the management and a union is a great way to do that. If a place can simply fire and hire a whole new set of workers then it simply isn't worth unionizing over. If workers feel their pay and working conditions are satisfactory and feel a union doesn't represent them then they should have the right not to pay dues.

Guilds didn’t act as labor unions, but cartels. The comparison is bad. It wasn’t a union of workers, but the major businessmen using their power to coordinate, eliminate competition, and force all or most business to be done through them. Guilds didn’t negotiate with the employer on behalf of the worker, they were the employers, who would use their monopoly to sell the labor at relatively high prices. Government regulation and a desire to keep their privileged position did lead to good products (for a time, and in the sense that you knew what you were paying for due to the standardized practices within the guild and due to its ability to acquire better material). However, the training programs of the guild promoted tradition instead of innovation, which meant that while you got a good product, it was not necessarily modern and orders would not be fulfilled within what could be done with more modern techniques. Guilds, which early on were more unspecialized and and all-encompassing, but split when things became more specialized. This usually caused competition between trades (which is bad for the economy and anti-innovative) rather than promote competition within (obviously). I remember reading recently about the Compagnonnage (Companions), a collection of French confraternities associated with particular trades that have survived into the modern age (they share many similarities with the Freemasons, including ritual and symbolism, but never divorced themselves of their trades and never became international). There are three major Compagnonnage associations and they were, at least at one time, bitter rivals and would fight each other with canes (a major identifying part of their regalia). There was also rivalry within these associations between trades.

Some trades were excluded, such as bakers, and when they tried to from their own Compagnonnage groups they were often met with harassment or violence. An example: In Toulouse, 1839, 200 bakers were attacked during a procession to church for St. Honoratus’ Day (the patron saint of Bakers) by the Locksmiths, Blacksmiths, Joiners, Stonecutters, Tanners, and Carpenters for their use of the Companions’ symbols and emblems. 1 worker died and many were apparently seriously wounded, the police and a few dozen military had to intervene, arresting 28.

Guilds are not very comparable to modern groups such as labor unions.

The advent of Liberty with free and open markets was the death knell for the ancient guilds with their close alliance with state oligarchs for monopolized markets by hiding sources, methods and the free flow of information. The constitutional guarantee of freedom of association was still a hard win for craftsmen and professionals for whom old habits die hard. Anglosphere Unions originally focused on destroying the statecraft of guild restrictions in practice, evinced education (the free flow of information), focused on safety and efficiency by training and instruction, and provided a safety net for unforeseen contingencies without (at least in the US) undue interference from the state and no cost to taxpayer. What wasn't to love about them?

It is the powermad oligarchs of the proletariat whose incoherent Leftist/Regressivist illiberal unthink that have turned Unions and Free Associations from something to be admired into shells of their former selves, full of the graft, corruption, and privilege they accuse free market capitalists of being. Unconscionable Conservatives have had their fun derailing the independent organizing of self-governing professionals, tradesman, and laborers as well.

In some parts of the country local chapters of labor are still free associations whose monies go to making better qualified, more skilled, world class craftsmen who are worthy of their pay, and whose chapters help those who fall in between the cracks of the nanny state. The purse does not fall into the pockets of lobbyists and legally on-the-take politicians, or disappear into the nether. They stand up against against both corrupt corporations and corrupt bureaucracy and have my undying respect.

Unions that are for all intents and purposes just money conduits for payouts, holding a captive workforce who must jump through political hoops so as to guarantee votes for a political ruling class for the vagaries of an ill-defined livable wage have my contempt.

Rateria wrote:I thought Cinco de Mayo was about the victory of Mexican conscripts over a French army. You might be thinking of a different holiday.

Short version: The "people's army" drove out the French Imperialists but Juarez and his cronies kept the Mexican state's imperial oppression of the other Hispanic States under their unconstitutional central authority (being illiberal while claiming to be both Liberal and Constitutional), destroying any chance of the 2nd Republic ever becoming anything more than an pseudo-republic full of corruption. Theoretically all States and Territories were equal, its just that the State of Mexico and its axis States were more equal than the other States, especially those on the periphery ) the so-called Provincials.

Its failure to destroy peonage was a direct betrayal of "Provincial" support that motivated them to engage in the revolt in the first place. They just went from being peons of under a divided sovereignty of Church or State to peons of the State itself. Yay!

I may be wrong. My memory is not what it used to be. I do not have the old Hispanic History Book (from a republican perspective any more). I have a couple from the perspective of the Marxist rewrite after WWI such as what is easily found on Wikipedia. (Historiography used to be a passion of mine).

I am pretty sure I am remembering it right -- at least from the perspective of the States of outer periphery (e.g., Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua, the Yucatan, etc.) that critically questions the State of Mexico's conquest and unconstitutional occupation of the other Hispanic States. I will take some time this week and double-check. :)

Why are Afro(black)-centrists, black nationalists, the left, and African American groups so obsessed with Egypt and specifically Cleopatra?

North Africa, and Egypt especially, have been so far removed historically from the actually black parts that it’s comical when BLM folks bring it up. Egypt was a Mediterranean country with a very unique culture that was invaded by a Greek warlord, who died, and then one of his generals took over and started family tradition of incest. The Ptolemys never learned the native language (except Cleopatra) and never learned the native religion and philosophy beyond sibling incest. They brought a bunch of (white) Greek colonists and appropriated superficial aspects of the native culture (literally just names for gods) but disregarded and suppressed the religion and philosophy. They disenfranchised the natives.

Because they need a civilization that had a global effect besides exporting slaves.

White supremacists have the luxury of Europe actually conquering the whole world. Obviously their claim that that's evidence of European supiriority is rubbish, but it's SOMETHING.

Black supremacists are in the awkward position of claiming the supiriority of a region that didn't do much passed the agricultural revolution, and got conquered and exploited.

That's why we see those Black Hebrew Isrealite and Nation of Islam memes. "Did you know that the airplane wasn't invented by the Write brothers? It was actually invented by their BLACK man servant."

They need some claim to supremacy, so they make things up, ironically that usually means claiming civilizations full of brown people were actually black, and is ironically racist.

Stagflation, gas crisis, weak president, powerful foreign adversaries and more. All we're missing is disco and pimp mobiles then this would be the Carter administration all over again

Except Carter wasn’t a senile nearly-80-year old, a complete hypocrite, and not a completely terrible person.

Carter is a good man, he's probably the most productive ex-president ever. His work to eradicate diseases in Africa has been very successful

I remember him doing Habitat for Humanity stuff too, but I don’t know if he still does because of his age.

The scariest part was Biden was in government during the Carter administration. Really shows why we need term limits.

His health is failing. If he does come out into the public limelight, it will probably be for one last hurrah. As a human being his charity is driven by his Leftist perspectives that overpower everything he does. On the individual level, his philanthropy like Habitat for Humanity is excellent and praiseworthy. But his work with Globalist Concerns and furthering UN grip on world charity is unfortunate.

I think Hoover and Jefferson were by far better former presidents. I do have more respect for Carter than I do most of the Leftists of that era. At least Jimmy Carter actually acted on what he believed to be true even though he was wrong. Unlike his contemporaries (e.g., Biden) who were just blowing smoke and hot air up our collective kilts in order to advance acceptance of the administrative state as normative operations through fudding (fear uncertainty doubt); harrowing the American People into Progressivist submission by tax&spend (stimulus), over-regulation/over-reach, and false promises of economic growth through government manipulation if we just give them more power. It's the horrendous 70s all over again.

So the mods are banning the word Nazi and are purging the game of anyone they think is a Nazi, as well as a lot of fascists.

I am so happy that our Fascist overlords are doing this. If only they’d get rid of North Korea, with its homicidal freaks and terrible parents.

I would heavily advise any RPers and satirists to cease their good work if they do not want to risk possibly getting caught in the dragnet.

Again, Max Barry is a bald freak.

There’s no room for us libertarians these days.

Petition to change the word Fascist to "bundle-of-sticks-ism" and the word Nazi to "Norse-mythology-larpism."

That's a tough one. I think it should be anglosaxonated to The Bundle. The movement would be the Bundling, and its adherents Bundlers or Bundlingers. Progressive Auto Insurance [tm] would not be pleased. I would be tempted to swap out the d for a g ever time.

I would probably resort to calling the party with the crippled spider on its flag Ekhartism, or just use their initials. NSDAP -- National Socialist German People's Workers' Party. Or just "those German Socialists" and those German Socialists -ism.

People who are so irrationally dangerous as to censor a word that is pertinent to historic events are far more dangerous than the lunatics that gave us a corporatist ensconced tweak in their twisted attempts to make the even more twisted Marx work irl.

My favorite part is that they didn’t announce it anywhere but the forums, which is dominated by left-wing 14 year olds, loser parents who fantasize about murdering their anti-socialist kids, upper-middle class proletarian heroes, tankies, left-centrist corporate blowers, and insecure people with abnormal traits they want everyone to praise.

instead of nazis we should call people "jiggies" and instead of fascism we should say "groovism"
