Otisburg posted:I know someone personally who was certified to teach history at the high school level who did not know who the principle belligerents of World War II were, as far as naming them and correctly lining them up on Team Axis and Team Allies. VIGILANTE JUSTICE IS THE ONLY KIND OF JUSTICE WORTH HAVING If you can't take the law into your own hands, then the law isn't worth obeying. If you can’t deal justice yourself, then there is no certainty that things will ever be put right. All governments fear vigilantes; not because the officials are afraid that there might be a periodic miscarriage of justice (after all, the state-run legal system has plenty of that); instead, the establishment is frightened of vigilantes because they threaten the job security of the bureaucrats. A judge doesn’t care about making the right decision; instead, the magistrate is worried about protecting his lifetime appointment. A vigilante no more needs official authority to do justice than an ordinary believer needs ecclesiastical authority to say a prayer. Authority is merely the way that an entrenched hierarchy justifies their own position. Vigilante justice is effective justice. Vigilantes deal in direct justice, an immediate type of restitution doesn't need to be mediated through a bureaucracy. You don't need your basic human need for retribution to be dissipated and diluted through the institutions of the state. You don't need some government employee like a judge to tell you what is right and proper. Vigilantes instinctively know what needs to be done – they don’t need a legal precedent to tell them what is just. Unlike your local police force, you won’t see any incompetence at a public lynching. Vigilante justice is just common sense through the barrel of a gun. Vigilante justice is swift. Citizens have no desire to waste money keeping a prisoner on death row for a couple decades. Restitution is quick in the vigilante system. It saves time if a vigilante court would also carry out the execution that same day. Vigilante justice does not keep the victim waiting in suspense for redress. Vigilante justice is dead certain. When citizens take care of lawbreakers, no evidence is excluded because of some technicality – the eye-witness testimony of a victim is good enough. Vigilante justice is not a matter of finding the best lawyer; instead, justice is merely a matter of eliminating the criminal. It is not necessary to create a prison industry if the vigilantes are allowed to do justice. Vigilante justice doesn’t need attorneys. You don’t need to maintain a parasitical class of lawyers in a vigilante system; you don’t need legal representatives whose only role is to muddle the proceedings. You don’t need an advocate if you can take care of things yourself. Vigilante justice does not need a mediator. If someone steals one of your prized possessions, it really isn’t necessary to involve the state. If the injured party is permitted to attain retribution directly from the criminal, harmony can be restored without creating a criminal-justice establishment that requires a constant supply of fresh victims. Government only manages to insure that restitution remains impossible. Vigilante justice does not create a police state. Armed vigilantes dispense the truest form of justice. When the state fines a criminal, the money does not go to the individual whose property has been pilfered; instead, that money goes to the government, not the actual victim. Vigilante justice does not require the creation of an ornate administrative complex. Vigilantes don’t have fragile self-esteem like members of a police union; vigilantes don’t constantly need to be told what a great job they are doing like government officers. You don’t find vigilantes patting each other on the back and calling each other “special” like secret police agents. Taking justice into your own frees society from all the sanctimony self-righteousness of law-enforcement bureaucrats. Even though crime might be declining in the country, the criminal-justice industry is always growing. If the police cannot steal enough resources from genuine criminals, they will find a way to extort money from peaceful citizens. When the vigilantes seize power, the law-enforcement institutions will not able to steal property through asset forfeiture, and the police officers will not be able fill their quotas with bogus arrests. The state will not benefit from the actions of the criminal when citizens take the law into their own hands. Vigilante justice does not enrich a law-enforcement industry. Vigilante justice is focused on the individual, not the institution. The person who is directly wronged is able to attain redress personally in a vigilante system. When a murderer needs to be punished, a family member is able to extract the desired revenge himself. Vigilante justice is personal and direct. Vigilante justice is not corrupt. Unlike a judge on the take, vigilante justice cannot be bought. Vigilantes don’t take bribes to let the criminal get away with murder. You don’t need your restitution to be interrupted by a prosecutor’s need for campaign contributions. Vigilante justice may be brutal, but vigilante justice is not done in back-room deals. Vigilante justice is without mercy. Vigilante justice won't be distorted by bleeding hearts feeling sorry for the criminal. Vigilantes don’t need to give the criminal any second chances; they get things right the first time. Compassion is not wasted on those who do not deserve it. Vigilante justice is pure and without leniency. Vigilantes do not go around making exceptions. So what if the posse might occasion ally string-up the wrong person? Human life is enormously over-rated and the world is exceedingly overpopulated. Even if the vigilantes might occasionally make a mistake – at least they will always err on the side of giving the world a bit more breathing room. The state justice system needs professional criminals to keep themselves in business. Experienced lawyers require experienced outlaws. Only vigilante justice will eliminate the criminal class and the law-enforcement complex at the same time. The Old Western idea of the rifle above the door is the most efficient system of justice ever devised.

"History is written by the winners" is very much incorrect.

This is from a large facebook mommy group:quote:My husband just sent a video of our two year son to his female coworker. I have met her once, know absolutely nothing about her, and it made me super uncomfortable. I'm sorry but I don't think a person that he works with (especially a 35 year old woman who wants kids so badly but her boyfriend refuses to have one) should have a video of my son. She could be a Psycho path, a child molester. I believe you should never trust anyone except for close friends and family with videos and images and information about your children. Am I overreacting? The craziest part, is that about 50% of the women responding do not think that she is overreacting. They think it's completely reasonable to assume that your husband's co-worker is a barren baby-crazy "Psycho path" who is out to steal her baby by seeing a video of him. About a third of them think that the real problem is that a man is friendly with a female co-worker. Also, for all her concerns about privacy, she has her facebook profile set, so anyone can scroll through all the pictures of her and her kid.

I show pictures and stuff of my kids to people at work all the time. The last time I was interesting in my own right was early or at best mid 20's, so I relate to the parent-aged set with cute kid pics/vids. It's normal as poo poo to share that kind of thing with friends and work acquaintances IMO.

My vegan aunt and her husband are really good cooks and their food is so delicious. I don't know how they do it. However, her husband, bless his heart, posts violent animal torture and slaughter videos all day everyday and also poo poo about fluoride and contrails. Otherwise, he and I have the same politics. Which really makes me questions my politics. You know, if the gore side of animal products didn't get me in animal science class it never will. And after the millionth sad cow video, I've become enured. No I'm not blocking him. He's my uncle and cool in other ways.

Weatherman posted:Ugh loving BREEDERS and their CROTCHSPAWN amirite I hate children for destroying a woman’s looks. Take a beautiful woman and make her pregnant - the next time you see her, you won’t recognize the lady behind the stretch marks and blubber. Take a nice set of breasts, and have the wench start lactating, and all that will remain of her boobs are sag and stretch marks. After a dame’s nipple has been sucked by some kid, you won’t be in any hurry to put the tit in your mouth.

You know them hats you think of when you think "sailor hat" like on the cracker jack box? Unless you were in the Navy you probably don't even know that girl's couldn't wear them. But now they can, and people are SO MAD about HATS. Public posts/pages so gently caress 'em.     I for one am also furious over this increased uniformity in uniforms.

I remember when I unirionically supported vigilante justice. I was like loving 13 years old, my favorite comic book was The Punisher and I wanted to be a ninja and read books by this white guy Stephen K Hayes who claimed to have learned the secrets of ninjutsu in the orient, and wrote that ninja vigilantism was cool and good.

They were all good guys you know, they only hurt bad people". and thinks the mafia should take over and run all of America. Completely unironically. Also every single one of these people is fat and white and the closest they've come to any sort of actual crime was like, getting pulled over for speeding and getting a warning instead of a ticket.
