Uhh they fixed that problem by hiring them to be the police

Fuckin pay attention people, the police support these people, that's why they look "organized", it's because you can organize literally anything when the police are on your side, it's not hard

early to mid 90s you couldn't throw a rock without hitting an incredibly unflattering depiction of right-wing radical militias in the media.

30 years later and no one know what the gently caress even

we're so beset by crises that trying to remember them all is almost impossible.

wasn't this one of Mark Fisher's points in Capitalist Realism? that we just live in a continuous present, unable to make new memories, unable to integrate anything?

quote:

The memory disorder that is the correlative of this
situation is the condition which afflicts Leonard in Memento,
theoretically pure anterograde amnesia. Here, memories prior to
the onset of the condition are left intact, but sufferers are unable
to transfer new memories into long term memory; the new
therefore looms up as hostile, fleeting, un-navigable, and the
sufferer is drawn back to the security of the old. The inability to
make new memories: a succinct formulation of the postmodern
impasse ....
If memory disorder provides a compelling analogy for the
glitches in capitalist realism, the model for its smooth functioning
would be dreamwork. When we are dreaming, we forget, but
immediately forget that we have done so; since the gaps and
lacunae in our memories are Photoshopped out, they do not
trouble or torment us. What dreamwork does is to produce a
confabulated consistency which covers over anomalies and
contradictions...

freedom means i get to do whatever i want without limitations at all times and if it impacts anybody else that is not my problem. anything less is tyranny
What sticks in my head is a comparison to drivers licenses and road rules.

Requiring me to prove I can drive safely through highly unreasonable and costly means of driving school and multiple license tests is an abridgement of my personal freedom of movement. The accommodations of "just take the bus" or "walk" are not enough. This requirement for a license impedes my ability to work.

So what if I want to drive on the sidewalk? If you don't feel safe, get off the sidewalk, stay at home! The rest of us just want to *live*!

I've basically resigned myself to never going to a bar, show, event, date, or crowded restaurant ever again. I don't even want to go grocery shopping on the weekend because it's too crowded.

In BC in Oct/Nov with vaccine passports required I started going back to restaurants and movies. It was great. I left 5+ days between seeing people or doing something unmasked so if I saw any symptoms I would know where/who to contact. Then omicron showed up, and I stopped going out again.

We can get back to this place, I think, with a mix of public health measures and boosters/new vaccine development. But not if we keep rolling everything back prematurely. It’s so weird, it feels like business and public health interests should align so I’m surprised we keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

A Canadian Army officer in New Brunswick is under investigation after calling for other military members and police to rise up over vaccination and pandemic restrictions.

Maj. Stephen Chledowski spoke in uniform in a seven-minute video Thursday, describing government actions during the pandemic as tyranny. He went on to describe vaccination for COVID-19 as "genocide."

Daniel Le Bouthillier, the head of media relations for the Canadian Forces, confirmed in an email that Chledowski is an active member of the military based at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown.

"We are investigating the incident and will be taking appropriate action," Le Bouthillier said in the statement without specifying what that action may be.

QR&O says that should send him to the Detention Barracks in Edmonton and then a tribunal, so his command will either be calling the Redcaps right now, or we’ll see another government institution paralyzed and unable to act.

Also honking has started up again and the rumour is that the protesters want to throw down if anything happens to the guys in Windsor at 1900, so that’ll be interesting.

Germany, 1930 posted:

After the September elections, not just Germany but the world outside had to take notice of Hitler. In the immediate aftermath of his electoral triumph, the trial of three young Reichswehr officers from a regiment stationed in Ulm, whose Nazi sympathies saw them accused of ‘Preparing to Commit High Treason’ through working towards a military putsch with the NSDAP and breaching regulations banning members of the Reichswehr from activities aimed at altering the constitution, gave Hitler the chance, now with the eyes of the world’s press on him, of underlining his party’s commitment to legality. The trial of the officers, Hanns Ludin, Richard Scheringer, and Hans Friedrich Wendt, began in Leipzig on 23 September. On the first day, Wendt’s defence counsel, Hans Frank, was given permission to summon Hitler as a witness. Two days later, huge crowds demonstrated outside the court building in favour of Hitler as the leader of the Reichstag’s second largest party went into the witness-box to face the red-robed judges of the highest court in the land.

I didn’t work under him directly, but… this is uh not great. The school is supposed to be where the most switched on, committed, expert Gunners are, Never Pass a Fault and all that. I mean, it’s also used as a dumping ground for unliked, unwanted and otherwise useless officers from the Shooting Regiments, so I’d have to know more. The pot brownie was under his watch though, I think that made national news so I’m not blowing the lid of anything here, so if he wrote the paperwork that crucified that girl lol.

I’m going to see if he’s mentioned in our trade papers.

Lol I once saw an academic talk that went into how mixed race handled in Apartheid South Africa. Eventually they ended up throwing the kid into a playground with other kids deemed by the government to be the one race, then into a playground with kids deemed to be the other race. Whichever kids the kid got along better with, they'd decide that was the kids race forever.
