I love them all!

The most efficient economic system

I’m not keen on the death penalty myself but if a society is going to have it I’ll respect them a lot more for using it on powerful and privileged people who deliberately hurt large amounts of people than for using it on mentally ill members of the underclass.

Nordic children’s literature from the 1970’s and 1980’s was next level.

I found an old book that I’m reading as a bedtime story for my six year old. It presents itself as a light-hearted funny story about a country boy who moves to the big city and sets out looking for friends. That sounds innocent enough, right?

Think again.

By any contemporary standard this sounds completely insane. But the story is actually well written, funny and age appropriate for my kid. It manages to see the world through a children’s logic, not unlike that of The Good Soldier Svejk, and sees the world from the child’s perspective, something that a lot of the contemporary slop billed as children’s literature fails at doing with it’s safe and inoffensive cardboard cutout characters written by authors who mistakes bland middle class conformity for relatability and recoil at the thought of any kind of conflict.

Starting in the late 1960’s a generation of writers and other producers of children’s culture broke with the earlier tradition of idyllic or moralistic tales. Influenced by 1968, the new left and the anti-authoritarian pedagogy of the time they wrote more realistically about the issues faced by children in their daily lives, such as bullying, divorce or social vulnerability and parental pressure, adopting a stance of solidarity with the children. They took children seriously both as readers and as characters, respecting them as competent, complex individuals. Many works from this period are still loved by children and parents alike, exactly for being serious high quality cultural products despite having children as their audiences.

But still, starting a children’s story with social murder and dispossession by usury capital is fucking brutal.

I’m tired of paying for the cops and courts and jails protecting reactionary dipshits from being punched in the face.

What about a technical solution?

If someone posts a twitter link the backend should rewrite it to an xcancel link. I think it would be a pretty simple fix that would prevent sending traffic to once of the worst fash sites while also making it easy for people to post links.

This is why the EU is slapping extra tariffs on small packages from China

It’s still pedos looking for a loophole.

And either way, fucking a demon sounds like an incredibly bad idea, regardless of their age and body. Demons are bad and dangerous.

Mont Saint Michel is France’s second-largest tourist attraction outside of Paris. Is it a tourist trap? Yes, absolutely, but it is still absolutely worth the visit. When we visited logistics were well-managed, the commercial eyesores on the shore were kept away from view and admittance to the monastery, the main attraction, was not as overpriced as you would have expected.

It is a very special place. If you have ever been into fantasy media, medievalism or even Disney movies you’re going to have a good time here.

Forget about reeducation camps, you can’t undo what never happened. After the revolution we need a massive programme of education camps, these people are politically illiterate and doesn’t have any idea how anything works.

If only there had been more threats, cops and pastors in the mother’s life…

Fucking quislings

Yanks: Look at those communists and their ridiculous cults of personality!

Also yanks: Our God-king whose face we have carved into a mountain could not be hurt by bullets!

Now they have the venue sorted out the hard part is done. All they need to do now is to win the war and arrest the Russian leadership.

I hope they do a botched half-finished job that is impossible to hide.

I’m not claiming anything, I’m just noticing how the guy on the right line is looks like he’s wearing a cosmonaut’s helmet. How could primitive yanks know about space suits at the time?

Question: If the minister of agriculture is responsible for the pigs, does that mean that I also have to deal with the police?

Marg bar Amrika!

My workplace abolished leave by phone in favour of leave by Slack because my boss couldn’t see the point in him having to answer the phone early in the morning.

I remember blowing smoke rings back in the day…
