paradox

I quoted wiki to make the point that as unreliable a source of info as it is even the wiki page has the word socialism as the second word on the page defining nazism. ie you don't have to read a whole library to find such basic information. my whole point in posting in this thread was to point out that the widely spouted idea that fascism is a right wing phenomenon is blatantly false, even though it is taken for granted by the majority of people that it is so, including myself for most of my life. No no matter what side you identify with, anything you define as evil will be attributed to the other side.

Of course not, the whole left & right nonsense is gibberish nowadays but being as literal as possible & according to historical definitions & some of the broadest understandings of what these two ends of the spectrum represent, fascism pretty undeniably falls well on the far left of the spectrum. Contemporary socialists will strongly deny that nazism is anything close to 'true' socialism & they'd be absolutely right but they also say the same thing about every other socialist regimen in history. Nazism is just like all the other powerful socialist regimens that have existed in that it was corrupted by the whims of power mad psychopaths.

yeah, but if you want choose to have & act on strong political opinions or beliefs it's probably a prerequisite if you don't want to simply cause a complete mess. but really, it's not that hard to read a few pages from a good source about the basic facts about the nazi party. like.. this is pretty simplistic but the first two words on the Nazism wiki page are 'national socialism'

the word Nazi is a german abbreviation for National Socialism. It's pretty funny how anarchism is generally thought to be aligned with the left, socialism etc. Socialism & anarchism are pretty much the literal antithesis of each other. anarchism is almost actually like a vision of a right wing utopia, zero government, individual liberty & voluntary association.

dude, you need to get a hold of some decent books on political history

actually i think you are just not very well educated on the matter, like a loooot of people. You know the Nazi's were socialists yeah? Generally speaking the far left believe in larger, more powerful, stricter government while the right believe in smaller, less powerful government with an emphasis on individual liberty. If fascism belongs on any end of that spectrum it is most certainly on the left. Most people nowadays who preach about evil fascists have next to no idea what they are actually talking about.

it's a member here, haven't seen him around for years though, PD

why do people uproot their plants before they have even sold it? just to take a photo. annoys the shit out of me when people do that, i will never buy a plant if it's soil-less in the photo, who knows how long it's going to be sitting around with it's roots desiccating & then sit in the post too. if you're going to post bare root plants, up-root it just before posting.. sheesh

Rose Namajunas is amazing

i might be interested in some rooted cuttings.. do you have other varieties available?

please keep posting dr snuggles, love your porn!

Im not in anyway down playing the seriousness of sexual abuse, I have first hand experience of being a victim at a very young age, I have a bit of perspective on it.. I'm just a bit confused.. You really think all that darkness you're talking about in your mother & her generation or whatever is all because a bunch of Actors sucked a few dicks to get a job? That's kind of weird logic. I'm not saying it's not fucked up but you really think that & it kinda keeps you up at night? I have to keep giving these disclaimers.. It's all completely fucked up.. But where I come from this dodgyness in Hollywood has never been even a slight secret.. It's really messed up.. But so is 90% of everything humans do.. If I was going to be as worried as you about it id have been dead from stress related disease a long time ago. This stuff is one of the biggest trending topics in the world right now.. In 'the media', social media, just everywhere.. It's trendy to buy into this mass hysteria right now.. It's good these predators are being called out but why weren't all these outraged people so outraged & hysterical before it was trendy?

Btw my old boss was very high status in the Australian media. He used to have parties that Don Burke went to, I even planted a few tress that were gifts from Don Burke. My boss used to talk about what a disgusting dodgy piece of shit he was, that he would always be making fucked up inappropriate sexual jokes to the ladies etc i definitely don't doubt the allegations made on him are true

I agree with anodyne. What's with all the Jim Carey hate? The dude seems alright to me. I don't know anything about him killing his girlfriend though. Do you really spend your time boggling & worrying about that stuff TH? Everyone has always known that Hollywood in large part works like that. It's never been a secret. It's dodgy as fuck & there's a lot of executives that abuse their power in perverted ways. It's never been a secret so why weren't people this outraged for the last 100 years? Is your mind boggling & you're worrying about it because the media has now decided that's what they're going to tell you need to worry about?

honestly though, mostly i think he's just an Evel Knievel wannabe with a passion for rocketry & he's using the flat earth angle to publicize himslef

or he will finally progress to where he can reach high enough altitude to see the curvature of the earth & he will finally be convinced he was wrong about flat earth & then he will be called a round earth shill & the flat earth community will know it was all a conspiracy to discredit their movement

haha, well obviously you really inspire him, it must be an honor haha

great to see you around ballzac & great to see some more of you dads insanely brilliant paintings, love that one! is that another portrait?

I wonder what ever happened to eldooderino.. Or is that you dood?

He's been talking about this stuff for years.. He got deep into eckhart tolle about ten years or so ago I remember..

dammit, wrong section

hi folks, so i'm just putting it out there early.. i'm really keen to inoculate a butt load of logs & stumps this autumn.. does anyone trade dowels or spawn? i'm keen for any of your normal edible woodlovers that aren't super technical to cultivate. if anyone will be able to help out in autumn please let me know, we can work out a trade or purchase thanks!

don't you guys know that gender is an artificial construct forced upon us by the patriarchy to oppress non binary people & perpetuate a deeply sinister system of toxic masculinity? i don't feel safe in this thread, you shouldn't be allowed to have this discussion. please stop or i will be forced to get violent to defend myself from this oppression.

wouldn't you if you lived in tassie thunder?

i was brought up very much on the fringes of society being taught to continually question the official narrative. Thankfully my parents were not total crackpots though.. Having had that perspective it seems to me that a problem suffered by many people who are brought up within the mainstream, being taught not to question the 'official narrative' is that when, in adulthood, they have some revelation about the falsity of the narrative they have been led to take for granted, with their trust in the predominant cultural world view deeply undermined, they can then tend to become polarized & react in a somewhat extreme fashion & often will then believe all sorts absolute nonsense that comes their way, as long as it is anywhere outside the 'official narrative.' the problem is also that if you are brought up in that way, it is sort of a given that you were most likely not necessarily taught adequate skills for determining what is worthwhile information & that coupled with a deeply undermined trust for the cultural narrative & the figures of authority (parents teachers etc) you always trusted to take care of your wellbeing, it can be a recipe for a lot of reactionary silliness.. it is extremely important to not simply trust any kind of narrative that anyone is selling you.. we need to equip ourselves with the appropriate intellectual resources to determine for ourselves what is trustworthy information.. but it's also super important not to forget, if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
