If People Don't Want To Come Out To The ONT, Nobody's Going To Stop Them

Welcome to Friday night! Pull up a chair, crack open a beer and let the mindless madness of memes wash over your body. So, how are you Morons in the northeast doing?

Task failed successfully


Where do you fall

squares.JPG

This is the way of looking at political ideology that I prefer. I don't necessarily think that the two squares are cognitive dissonance, but they are over-complicating the issue, which is how involved you believe that government should be in everything. Call it the freedom index.

And yes, Nazis belong right next to Commies.

The reason Nazis and Commies fight each other so much is not because they are opposing ideologies, it's because they are competing for the exact same base.

A better version of this is "The Nolan Chart" created by a libertarian, and popular among libertarians back in the day (before I became older, wiser, and a hard-right social conservative as well).

22 This is true

I totally did that when I had a job that required moving pallets around.

And I was saving the company money; it's faster to scooter around on an empty pallet jack than it is to just walk and drag it behind you.

40 Thanks to a random shoplifter or incompetent retail worker, my night has taken a downturn. Pookette went with me to Wal-Mart this afternoon to pick out a new pillow and got an all-in-one bedding set (cheetah print!). Pooky and I were setting it up when we realized that the bag it came in had no fitted sheet. We made do with the flat sheet, but Pookette was a bit deflated and Pooky went on a rant about how I won't let him fix society's ills with violence. Le sigh....

On a quick look, I reject that personal freedom is a "liberal" value, but that's probably due to a common libertarian failing, they often confuse liberty with libertine. Classical liberalism, which is what "conservative" actually is, is all about personal freedom. You can still favor personal freedom while recognizing there are limits.

Also, it's safer. Even if you're not trying to make functional armor, which should deflect blows away from your important bits, and not channel them towards your heart.

The armor in the picture isn't too bad, but still. Don't make it form-fitting for the D-cupped woman. Consider what happens if you fall when you're wearing something like that. Boobs are squishy. Armor isn't. So you're falling breastbone-first onto the business end of a wood-splitting maul, with no way to avoid it.

102 The reason Nazis and Commies fight each other so much is not because they are opposing ideologies, it's because they are competing for the exact same base.

National socialism versus international socialism. Ethnic cleansing versus ideological/economic cleansing. The Nazis had way better style though. Stalin didn't have a Hugo Boss to design their uniforms.

115 Was it Goebbels or Himmler that was a Marxist before he became a Nazi?
Posted by: polynikes

Goebbels - Hitler told him to tone it down. However, the Nazi economic program was a mix of fascism and communism. The state told business owners what to make and how much to pay workers; workers were guaranteed jobs but had little freedom to change jobs. Health care, vacays, etc. Himmler was a chicken farmer and serious occultist.

---------

For some reason, around age 5 when I started going to school in kindergarten, I honestly thought that my parents could monitor and see my every action -- which made me behave and be a "good boy" so I wouldn't embarrass them or get in trouble for misbehaving.

What's creepy now is that they really can ... and now I have this nightmare vision that people will live half a life, say until they're 40 (that's all been recorded, perhaps some implant in one or both eyes or elsewhere?, and stored digitally) -- and then spend the next half of their lives re-watching (re-living) the first half.

No, really.

In many ways, this too is the story of ShainS.

After having succeeded based solely on effort, determination, & merit as a youth (primarily school & sports) -- I was aghast upon entering corporate America in the mid-80s to find that it was pure socialism: excellence was punished, and mediocrity rewarded.

I literally quit 50 professional (software) jobs over the course of a 25-year career. Some on the first day (occasionally, they'd put me IN A DIFFERENT JOB than I'd interviewed and been hired for), some after a week or two. And EVERY TIME I was asked to go into meetings and LIE TO UPPER MANAGEMENT, which was frequently, out the door I went ... no 30 pieces of gold for my soul.

205 There is a better representation of the political spectrum in "The 5000 Year Leap" by W. Cleon Skousen.

On one end of the spectrum is the "Ruler's Law", aka Totalitarianism. On the other is "No Law", i.e., Anarchy. In the middle is the "People's Law", the sweet spot. There is no mention of Left/Right, communist, fascist, whatever. These ideologies can potentially exist on either end of the spectrum.

Check it out. Skousen discusses it almost immediately at the start of the book. It is a simple and powerful measure.

215 Several people who were celebrating gay pride month near me did not put out their flags this year. I don't know these people so I'm unsure why. I don't know whether they don't want to be associated with the "T" and the sexualization of kids or what. Both flags are the traditional pride flag without the black and brown and white and pink stripes so my guess is that these folks are older. I know one couple is. They live in a 65 + community.

Ah, that brings back a very early memory:

Dad had an 8mm camera and one Easter he's filming the family outside on his parent's old hog ranch.

When he plays the developed film back for us later on the projector, there's the family standing in front of the camera ... and BOOM ... there's a giant Bunny Rabbit that appears out of nowhere standing with us.

I'm like "WTF" (for a little kid) and how did that Bunny appear out of thin air? Of course, I got a magical answer ... and didn't realize until later that the filming had been stopped, and then restarted when the Rabbit (someone obviously wearing a costume) entered the scene.

Needless to say, I was somewhat confused for awhile (perhaps the origin of my later magical thinking?).

223 "That G-d was good and hatefilled rage monster parents are normal."

I'm sorry about that.

My drunken, raging father almost killed my brother. I thought G-d was the first part of a word ending in "damn." One day I discovered that G-d IS real, and IS good.

That He "holds out His hands all day long" to we, who often blow Him off because we want life our way, and don't or won't wait, or read and consult His Word for answers to our dilemmas...consider a man who suffered enormously: Job.

G-d never did answer Job's questions...however, He did inform Job precisely Who created the universe and everything in it, and all without anyones help...in other words, sometimes all we can do is trust His Word, and wait on Him...and it can be a challenge to do that in these times.

Pulled into the truck stop and checked in at the tire shop cuz I had a trailer tire with a hole in it. Trailer has one of those auto-inflate systems do I can keep it rolling for a while but it'll blow out eventually. Since I'm stopping anyway I'll just get it taken care of here. Go check in, guy says there's two trucks ahead of me be about two hours. Okay. Sign in, go back to the truck and lay down in the bunk.

I completely forget I tossed a couple of packets of barbecue sauce in the back. You know the kind, the little tub shaped packs. Lay down, squish one and now I got an ugly barbecue stain on my sheets. Try to get as much of it out as I can. A big brown stain. And it's right at that perfect spot where my ass would be. It now looks like I literally shit the bed.

First warehouse job I had, we used the pallet jacks as scooters, and used to have races down the aisles. The Dir of Ops caught us a couple of times and finally came down one day at lunch and had us do a formal pallet jack race tournament, complete with a set of rules and a checkered flag.

When we finished, and had our tournament champion, he asked us "Well, was that fun or what? Now, don't EVER DO IT AGAIN." We never did, either.

We lost John in a motorcycle accident about 6 mo later. That was close to 30 years ago, and I still miss that guy.

277 On the topic of great B movies - just finished rewatching Valley of the Dolls on TCM; originally just for the 60's reminiscence. And the Dionne Warwick theme is one of the great movie themes of all time.

The story is a tragedy for all 3 of the main characters, but it ended up being far more tragic than they could have imagined when it was made, which puts it in very different light today. Patty Duke's character has great talent, but sinks into drug/alcohol addiction and insanity - which is what happened to the offscreen Patty Duke. Sharon Tate is unbelievably beautiful, and her character dies young for no good reason - which happened to her 2 years later. Barbara Perkins's character gets disgusted with the entire business and leaves it for good - and that's what she did too. A movie that sadly predicted the future of everyone who was in it.

278 The reason Nazis and Commies fight each other so much is not because they are opposing ideologies, it's because they are competing for the exact same base.

Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was a socialist in good standing. But, when WWI came he argued one could support your own nation while still being a socialist...you could be a national socialist as opposed to an international one.

And when he assumed power he ruled as a socialist. No, he didn't act like Stalin...but he also didn't control Italy as completely as Stalin controlled the USSR either. And from the 30s there was a respect for Mussolini by the left...maybe this is what socialism would look like in a more modern industrialized country then the old Russia? And yes they debated the same thing when Hitler came to power in Germany.

Hitler based his own ideology on Mussolini, some weird German blood and land stuff and...FDR with a large helping of Jew hatred of course.

Worker was operating a motorized pallet Jack and pinned himself against the racks and suffocated.

Trying to drive and read a map in a storm while under a time constraint almost made me quit on the spot.

284 Buckaroo Bonzai was an almost-great movie. I pondered this for quite a while trying to figure out why - I loved the story, the secondary characters were great, the supporting actors were one of the best casts I know of, the music was fun - what's missing? And I realized it's Peter Weller. When Buckaroo should have been an over the top character (something like Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little Chine) he instead gave him the same range of motions Weller showed in RoboCop. He was the one huge flaw in the movie. (Imagine Bruce Willis in the role, for example)

It's called the Greatest Comic Book Story that was never a comic book. It was made AS IF it had been a popular comic. So that's just my own opinion, but that's what I believe kept it in the realm of cult favorite rather than being a breakout movie that got sequels. The best part in that movie belongs to John Lithgow, and he delivers a completely unhinged, over the top performance - It's perfect! Second best is Christopher Lloyd, as John Bigbooty. Same thing. Weller makes me want to snore whenever he's on screen.

The death of libertarianism seems to me to be a mix of the dopetarian overture combined with environmentalism.

Back in the 80s LP types were associated with cutting spending. They figured that people who were interested in drug legalization would be winnable if they just focused on that instead.

And instead of getting Dopetarians to support cutting spending and legalizing pot they ended up with a party full of people that argued that drugs and abortion were the only right people had - from that point forward you could meet LP types arguing we needed draconian taxes and regulations on everything...except drugs and abortion...to save the earth.

Yes, fascism in Germany (National Socialism) was socialism/corporatism in one country. Communism was supposed to be an international movement to liberate the masses. Even in the 1850's, Marx thought Russia was too primitive for communism. He expected the rising Reich, the new Germany, to become communist.
It was a near run thing as far as Germany going communist. The Landed aristocracy, of course, was totally against it, and so allowed Hitler to become Chancellor in 1932, even though they hated him.
Hitler himself said (paraphrasing), scratch a communist, and you'll find a brownshirt, scratch a brownshirt, and you'll find a Bolshevik.

Actually it was Fascism that was the third way, to be between the Anarcho syndicalists and the industrialists, and what it managed to do is build a cartel between the labor unions and the cartels to control labor and markets, run in full by the markets.

Naziism was based sort of on that but was mostly a movement of a small oligarchy of party members controlling the rest of Germany. Very much like the Russian party member system

Thread that all through their society, and the Five Year Plans would go so far as to allocate shelf space in stores, remaining ignorant of "unknowable" factors such as weather, crop failures, rail outages and other variables.

Nazis (small) genius was to "allow" the continuation of Private Ownership, but with the larger goals and quotas and such, set by the State. But how "management" went out the daily business of things was largely left TO management, as long as they PRODUCED. Hell to pay if they didn't, but that's another story.

Yeah, they central-planned, too. Send enough steel to Factory X or Factory Z, of course. But the private companies were in that fulfillment business, but often with Party shareholders, ass raping the actual investors for the lion's share of profit and gain.

338 There are a other great pictures of the female winged Hussar parade with a redhead that has me strongly considering moving over to reclaim the potato empire my family left behind.

Of course there's also some fruitcake dressed as one for a sodamy parade, guessing he was hoping to invade from the backside.

This McDonald's parking lot has been a hangout for various crowds since the '80s including punks, skinheads, midnight Rocky Horror fans, etc. Always fun. Routine stop turned into a found gun, resisting arrest, his friends circling the cruiser, crowd forming from nearby bars, so they rolled out a whole bunch of squads, early summer time show of force, etc.

"Biological essentialism" is what happens when a man (or trans-woman) and a woman (or a trans-man) love each other very very much. Then, a woman (or a trans-man) offers what is called "gestational hospitality" unless she (or he or xer or xhim) doesn't want to offer it. Then she (or he or xer or xhim) visits a Planned Parenthood, where the pregnancy tissue is removed and the woman (or trans-man) can go on to live a happy, empowered life.

That is "a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens." Tell me how Trans. Sec. Buttplug is competent. Tell me how 'border' guy Majorass is competent. Tell me how new Justice 'I Don't Know What A Woman Is' Brown Jackson is competent. Tell me how Kamalalaladingdong is competent. Tell me how Fuck Joe Biden is competent.
