i don't have the same visceral hatred of ferrinus that some people have butFerrinus posted:this actually typifies a particular left-wing deviation pretty well, specifically the anarcho-trot paranoia about Bureaucratism or whatever where the mere fact of someone doing administrative labor inevitably corrupts them beyond recognition and this is why it is simply too dangerous to ever have a state rather than a continuous global insurrection. people confuse the form for the class character come on this is nonsense, you can't apply State and Revolution to 'modding CSPAM'

we can see now that the byob traveling thread was merely the state department dropping off failed c-spam posters to overthrow the communism thread and install flavius as the head of a chicago school of economics thread

John Charity Spring posted:i don't have the same visceral hatred of ferrinus that some people have but To use your buttons against a comrade. To suspend their posting for six, twelve, or twenty-four hours in retaliation for petty insults. To move a thread to another forum as a joke. This is a twelfth kind.

Between depriving a man of one hour from his posting and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his lulz. Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: “I feed on your rolfs.”

what is the function of a judge? to interpret laws, as a machine intended for the production of justice. the input is assumed to be a selection of impartial laws decided upon by a divine agent of heaven, thus the output must always be the calm that follows the impartial intrepretation of divine law. the peace of justice arrives, when no longer is there a poster with a justified will to post. so hows that modding the fyad away going for ya? all good? good good a marxist analysis of criminal justice is imho a rather neglegted topic of discussion. nothing ive read have ever offered an institution of government that didnt function exactly the way modern republican institutions operate, only with maybe better constituent bureaucrats, possibly selected democratically, filling the same positions of judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys. there seemingly isnt any possibility of a legal system that didnt operate according to principles already professed to by existing legal institutions to me, it just seems that running a hierarchical system without acknowledging the responsibility of the hierarch to intervene when that system starts coughing up bans and extremely smoothbrained probes, is kinda stupid. the mods around here do not depend on your support, but on the fact that jeffrey will not be intervening unless somebody literally makes his router sing out "demod flavius and fluffdaddy" on a 6 hour repeat

I ran into some Revcoms yesterday at a popular walking path in my city and was surprised to hear that Chairman Bob endorsed Biden in 2020 lmao. The person I was talking to was going through the normal anti-patriarchy, anti-empire spiel but then followed up with "and the republican fascists are trying to get rid of the democrats!!!" Like, I understand that they're trying to broaden the messaging to attract libs but come on lol.

Cookie Cutter posted:Are there any other sources that make the same claims about the Catiline Conspiracy as Parenti? I'm no expert but I've come across people saying Parenti basically made up his version of events, and I don't want that to be true but couldn't personally find anything to say otherwise. Most of the historians I've read tend to think that Cicero overplayed the conspiracy for material and political gain, but I can't remember any taking Parenti's line which is essentially that the entire thing was a self-fulfilling prophecy (i.e., Catiline originally had no intention of fomenting revolution but was pushed into it after being pressured into exile by Cicero and other optimates in the Senate). I also haven't seen other historians allege that all the documentary evidence for the conspiracy was fabricated or the work of informants/provocateurs working on Cicero's behalf. But Parenti makes a pretty compelling case for it imo. As with everything in this period of Roman history it's tough to untangle given the scarcity and ideological conformity of primary sources, especially since Cicero's own invectives against Catiline are one of the few sources we have.
