I can't say I've ever necessarily thought about the scientific management of society as anything other than a techbro/radical liberal thing, which I would place firmly as market fetishism with app development characteristics. Probably some sort of neo malthusian ideas in there too. Like I say the reason I skew that way is just because there are obvious problems with authoritarian structures of governance and they're pretty similar regardless of what colour the flag is. Anarchists seem to grok that and seem intuitively alright sorts.

The idea of running a society the right way that produces the best results by thinking about poo poo was at one point an inherently radical idea compared to running a society because God said one guy gets a hat that makes him immune from law. quote:Thus, in a given society, the authority of man over man is inversely proportional to the stage of intellectual development which that society has reached; and the probable duration of that authority can be calculated from the more or less general desire for a true government, — that is, for a scientific government. And just as the right of force and the right of artifice retreat before the steady advance of justice, and must finally be extinguished in equality, so the sovereignty of the will yields to the sovereignty of the reason

Remember when the Lib Dem’s desperately tried to regain the student vote they lost after the coalition government by smashing that “launch” button on their legalise weed campaign? That was pretty hilarious.

Johnson is currently to the left of Labour on the legalize weed campaign, if you assume that "eh it's probably going to be legal one day anyway and also there's money in it" is to the left of "credere, obbedire, combattere".

sebzilla posted:Only the frivolous ones When I was living in Egypt, at one point the government banned the import of 'provocative goods'. These included pet food and cos lettuce. Egyptian-made cat food was lethal to cat kidneys causing oxalic crystals to form. For the lettuce, I'm not sure whether that was because the word 'cos' in arabic is close to Egyptian slang for ladybits - cue maximum embarrassment in a supermarket for Egyptian husband of a strident British wife with a loud voice was demanding to know where the cous cous was - I don't know.

I have to say, the level of discussion of politics and erudite scholarship on this forum especially this early in the morning astounds me (one of the reasons I love this forum so much I do a patreon). I can barely string a sentence together until I've been up for hours & had my nanna nap and am probably at the level of crisps chat - not that I have anything to contribute to that still being a monster munch virgin.) (I'm not being sarcastic).

As someone who has gone to hobbycraft to get cheap stuff to do warhammer with, I can confirm that something about it makes you angrier than usual. Might be that you have to look at the kind of people who think papercraft is a hobby adults are still into.

My sister is always waffling on about the joys of Cribbs Causeway and going there is a big event for her. I went once to see this pinnacle of the shopping experience and was mightily disappointed. It's a bog-standard, two storey mini-mall. OK it's bigger than anything round here, but no better & probably worse than the John Frost Sq locality in Newport or St Davids Centre in Cardiff, both of which are nearer - and in city centres - than Cribbs.

Similarly I read it expecting to mock believers in fairies. Reading between the lines it was more that some property developer didn’t listen to locals objections to whatever they were “gentrifying” so they dug into local folklore for a different tactic. Saying it was an affront to local culture gave them a different angle from the one the officials at the council were used to ignoring and a bunch of press coverage on objections and so on.

The neck stubble is a weird choice IMO, like either shave or grow it out, if you just have a constant stubble everywhere it just looks like you couldn't be arsed to shave for a few days.
