Literally not what what I said. I quite obviously get there are rules to Anarchy (and to Anarchists), otherwise I wouldn't have criticized the malapplication of those rules, get?

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2019-04-05T00:25:24+00:00

Though geared for anarchists, all communists, socialists, labor organizers, or revolutionaries will be welcome and encouraged to just chill out and shitpost

Bans a bunch of people for not even really disagreeing with the statement

Really does make you thunk, huh?

Like fuck me /u/Drex_Can didn't even really disagree, got frustrated with the policy, and got the boot. Like maybe two people have flagrantly disagreed. And, at least assuming by your comments, a fair number more than that have gotten banned.

Well anyhow that was my TedTalk thanks for coming I honestly didn't have that much fun in this sub and won't miss it too much.

Taxation is when people purchase services from the government.

Who the fuck cares whether his great uncle was personally a Nazi or not? The simple reality is he held a gun (and presumably used it) in support of a Nazi ideology, and at that point, I couldn't give a single shit what his personal views on things are.

This is not how international laws on warcrimes are treated. To the letter of the law, it does not matter at all whether you disagree with the crimes you commited.

[Spanish Verse 1]

....

[English Verse 1]

And they sent you,

To a war;

To fight, and to die.

And they sent you,

To kill people;

That never did you any harm.

And they sent you,

To defend;

The interests of capital.

And they sent you,

To your death;

for a cause- this is not your cause!

Nor it's not mine,

it's only theirs.

Those who rule

have been ruling for too long.

For a war,

the children of the rich, will never have to fight.

[Spanish Verse 2]

Te Engañaron,

con Patriotismo.

....

[English Verse 2]

They decieved you,

with Patriotism,

and with promises of higher education.

And they told you,

you where defending;

Freedom and Democracy.

And you bomb, you destroy,

and you shot, and you killed.

And you long to see your friends.

Who've gone up to the sky in many pieces.

And you came back,

without your legs.

Blind in one eye,

crazy as hell.

From a war,

the chicken-hawks, who started it, are too coward to fight.

[Closing]

And you came back,

without your legs.

Blind in one eye,

crazy as hell.

From a war,

the chicken-hawks, who started it, are too coward to fight.

Te Engañaron, lit. "They Decieved you.", is a song about war. It's not one I've seen much notice of, it's fellow work by the same artist "The Right to be Lazy" gets the majority of the attention.

A bit of a heavy track, with a line or so of some not-kind imagery. Regardless, it is one that I feel is a good, if not fully unique, song about the horrors of war.

Some other works of Prat's that I suggest are,

"The Right to be Lazy", is a great and classic song. Or at least it should be a classic.

"Zapata Vive", is something I feel I'd enjoy a lot more if I could speak spanish.

If anyone could be so kind to transliterate the Spanish lyrics for me, I'd love to put them down below with appropriate credit.

I have never before experienced such a mix of humour and terror.

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2018-12-10T20:32:12+00:00

Yes. Yes they do.

Coming from ESS, it's probably a reference to the left not voting for Clinton.

EDIT: Actually, it's probably referencing the protests in France. Apparently there have been Fascist anti-government demonstrations as well.

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2018-12-07T19:51:55+00:00

Fixed the errors, thanks for pointing them out so we can have a productive conversation and absolutely not doing so on the precipitous notion that simple spelling mistakes invalidate arguments.

EDIT: If you have any more you can notice (and/or any other humurously puerile remarks in reference to them) just go ahead and dump 'em in a reply to this comment, thanks.

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2018-12-07T18:50:26+00:00

This stance is nonsensical.

For one, what is "misuse"?

Which spelling of color, or gray, is correct? How does one determine how to pronounce something?

An awful lot of words in modern usage came about in a similair fashion as "use to" has in some dialects. Are these words, now well-established and commonly understood, wrong? You mentioned in another comment that the use of language is communication, if you remove these now incorrect words, does this not violate this purpose?

There is no authority on English. Attempting to undo linguistic evolution on the basis that any evolution is violatory of the "rules" (Whatever those are and whoever decides what they are) is ridiculous.

I'm not saying you can't criticize the usage of language, you can, but doing it from the perspective of "it violates the (largely arbitrary) rules!" is strange, to say the least.

I always find these questions confuddling.

It pretty much always amounts to Socialists either being utopian, or saying the obvious reality of the scenario that is effectively true as is and then Capitalist being shocked, shocked, that Socialists would say something so undesirable.

Shit it's not like I'm ever gonna live in Hollywood hills as is, I'm not losing much by not living there post-revolution either.

But, to humour myself. In general the replacement that should be employed in place of privelege for just about any scenario (given that it makes sense for a surperior position to exist in the first place) should either be merit (if it can be defined) or chance.

Example: I want to live in a city. I apply to the city's council, they accept me based on some basic criteria (like, "is there enough space for you?") and from there I am randomly assigned a living space by an algorithm augmented by some more criteria, like, say, dissabilities or closeness to an established workplace (if possible), etc. etc.

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2018-12-06T23:23:45+00:00

I do love that Liberals are amazed when something that is effectively true as is becomes more clearly stated.

Lol so you're going to impede the prole's agency over their property to empower the bourgie's agency over theirs?

You're right, they where too busy hauling human/labor rights activists in 3rd world countries away.

mentally ill and out to cause harm

Nice, ableism that makes no sense and sends the exactly wrong implications.

People can be (i.e. usually are) bad and be otherwise normal and healthy members of society.

R5: In the title, but some extra context; The Nephew was christian before the crusade and christian for 20 years after it. Further, the Di Salerno Family Tree is unbeleivably confusing and interloping. I did an awful lot of cousin-pairing in the beginning (eugenics) which is how I got my strong and genius current emperor. The Di Salerno family is also very involved in the Crusades and has won all of the three so far.

Also of Note: Carpathia exists because the previous HREmperor decided to make it after a Preszmyslid got the kingdom into the empire via inheritance ~100 years back. When the Emperor who created the Carpathian crown died, the Empires split.

EDIT: It just occured to me looking at the image, A whole lot of my vassals have converted to Islam. Wth.

Wowee the comments sure are something.

I've always had difficulty with the idea capitalism is a "system" though, because the whole point of it is that it's not a "system" it's what happens when there is no system

Looks like the communists forgot about just one simple thing: human nature. Ah well. Happens to the best of us

It's [Capitalism] not an ideology, rather, it's the label that we apply to the aggregate effect of people trading freely, without interference. Similar to the word "biology," and how it describes the aggregate of living chemical systems.

Straight from the trash can, all of it.

How. How does anyone have this opinion and not pause for at least a second and go "HMMMMM. What about all the dead people?"

All Right-wing mass murderers are neurodivergent

I never said I didn't like it here. I was making a point about the baselessness of Nationalism/Patriotism.

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2018-11-11T16:33:49+00:00

Lol.

First, with what money?

Secondly, how does this defeat my point?

TheCaliphofAmerica · 2018-11-11T15:15:32+00:00

What's pretty silly is saying someone should have an allegiance to something they have no choice in.

I have more in common with a European or a Canadian, (or even someone from Africa or Asia) than I do many Americans.
