Count Roland posted:What's the story here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Rebellion_of_1857 quote:The rebels' murder of women, children and wounded British soldiers at Cawnpore, and the subsequent printing of the events in the British papers, left many British soldiers outraged and seeking revenge. As well as hanging mutineers, the British had some "blown from cannon," (an old Mughal punishment adopted many years before in India), in which sentenced rebels were tied over the mouths of cannons and blown to pieces when the cannons were fired.

In case anyone's interested, this is a kind of spotter's guide for the East German secret police (the "Stasi"s mentioned in the title of the document) so that they can label troublesome youths. The references to church involvement were because they viewed any church groups as subversive to their socialist principles, so that would be another reason to keep an eye on such dodgy characters. Hence also the "deprecative attitude towards state and society", which could of course cover just about anything they wanted it to.

Phlegmish posted:I'm the punk/skin who is also a regular in a church youth group Today that sounds weird, but for non-conformist young people in the GDR attaching themselves to the Church was actually a good way to give themselves some sort of institutional safety net, meet potentially like-minded people and enjoy other perks offered by the Church like rooms for young people to hang out or for your band to practise. Actually being Christian often wasn’t a prerequisite, as the Church was generally speaking happy to support people that couldn’t expect to receive anything but mistrust by the state.

Now however, if those plebs choose to attack my wealth by unionising or coming to my doorstep begging for food donations after I have fired them then I'm forced to defend myself. It's their choice.

In the Debate and Discussion Libertarian Thread, libertarians/ancaps would occasionally blunder in trying to defend themselves, and it was always fascinating to see what counted as violence for their rules. Wandering onto my property by accident? Violence! Me shooting you in the face for wandering onto my property? Not violence.

The important thing to remember is that declaring that all the food belongs to you and that you will shoot any starving people who try to eat it is 100% non-violent

Libertarians use an academic meaning of violence but they pull sleight‐of‐hand and act like it’s the normal kind of violence. Of course, that’s only the academic types. Most libertarians are too dumb to know there’s a difference.

Yeah that diagram gets easier to understand once you realize that under their definition, "taxes" is "violence". Honestly I feel like the best way to deal with Libertarians is to just lean into it. "Yeah, you know what, I DO want to take your money by force. What are you gonna do about it? You aren't gonna do poo poo is what you're gonna do, because we have an army and you have gently caress all."

What America has right now in its broadband availability is what would happen in a Libertarian paradise. The first to market would carve up the map between themselves and collaboratively crush out any competition. It's insanely profitable for the biggest companies to play-act competition while actually being a cartel. And the question that drives libertarians loving mental is "well why wouldn't it go that way?"
