I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

drat it's extremely cool that instead of saying grace at meals your dad did the Jack Nicholson speech from a few good men

I wish it was the cool kind. It was mostly him using his position as Chief of Police to get access to drugs and sexual assault victims. And of course it's a small town, so everyone knows but waits until my parents split to unburden themselves of his secrets. And from what I've learned since then, most cops are just like him. gently caress him. gently caress cops.

i don’t see how no police could work without global collapse and a return to very small societies. im not sneering at the concept though, i would like to hear some proposed solutions, or theories, or examples for real, because police are pretty much universally bad

See, when I meant long-term, I was kind of hoping for an example that lasted longer than a decade before the mob replaced it with a conservative government like the Thermadorians.

Yeah, if your idea of success involves La Terreur we kind of have different standards. That’s kind of the poster child for violent revolution leading to new tyranny and the execution of the revolutionaries, right up there with 1917 in Russia leading to Stalinism.

In the latter case even during the revolution my pacifist people were murdered en masse in Ukraine for being Kulaks, and Trotsky approved, so that sours me on it a bit.

Mark Twain posted:

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

instead of the terror being a surprise we should just codify that the people who carry out the revolution are then sentenced to death in turn

Show me where I said anything about that? Pretty sure I said that institutionalized witch hunts and murdering pacifists for being landowning farmers is bad.

p sure Twain wasn’t saying that the short Terror was good just because the long one was bad.
