Looking through the comments section, BP’s comment at the end sounds like one of your typical “sob stories” made up for attention, and to try to ruin Michelle’s reputation.

@BP  
Yeah, I totally believe that a person who does work for charity and is currently a major part of a community that prides itself on tolerance was, a few years previous, bullying kids with disabilities. Yeah, I TOTALLY don’t question the validity of that in the slightest…

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ.
 
Whatever it was, I don’t feel like watching the video anymore…thanks a lot Derpibooru >_>

Adopting a Nietzsche-like mentality can only do so much.  
People are “sheep” because they are payed to work their asses off, while the upper classes do fuck all. They just want to get on with their life.  
Don’t insinuate I don’t know what I’m talking about either. I’ve done my fair share of research, from people who have been under both political systems.

Yes but democracy always changes for the worse because the majority will always be tempted to vote for the worst. They are confined to the negative because they are fearful little sheep who will never truly vote against the interests of their masters. It appears to me to be nothing but a willful slavery based upon their own personal comfort. And not that upwardly mobile you-still-have-rights-and-respect Ottoman/Bedouin kind of slavery either. It is nearly as great a pox upon the world as monotheism, and only by eradicating them could true advancement be achieved. Anyway, it appears we are talking past each other, so we may as well cut it off here until some unbiased works about the subject can be located. At least I have visible evidence for my biases and conclusions, but I forgot how hard it is to find books and essays in the censorious West about superior governments that aren’t Communism. I had a bitch of a time seeking them out myself and I was actively interested in pursuing it, so they’re likely rare, and likely not in English. Just doesn’t seem to interest Englishmen and their offspring, I guess the system doesn’t mesh with their cultural upbringings. That’s ok I guess, I wouldn’t care much for a Khannate. I just wish they would find something less destructive and find less destructive less Crusade-y ways to ‘spread the merits of democracy.’

But by that logic, democracy can’t be “like the 10 Commandments” either. Societies change over time depending on the political climate of its contemporaries and counter-culture. That’s what allow people to innovate or expand upon in terms of everything that’s useful for us as a species. No one is “confined” to anything negative with democracy, because it’s not static.  
The common woman or man isn’t payed to think, but to work. We need stuff that gives people some kind of level playing field.  
I don’t seem to recall Franco’s Spain being a very idealized nation by contemporary standards, especially not to the poorer folk.

@Takashi.0
 
Well you should have, at least I think you should.

@Niggoslav:
 

You act as if it’s as immobile and stone-etched as the ten commandments. Only the basic precepts such as its work reforms and ecological protections (usually through the forced efficiency standards of an industry if nothing else) are immutable, but then many of those have been adopted as ‘standard’ in the industrialised world by now (such as 8 hour workdays) and therefore are not necessary to fight for. This naturally allows more energy to be put towards things which remain to be fought for, or issues which have arisen as products of technological advancement, or educating industries about how newer ‘frightening’ technologies are actually beneficial to them. Also the agri subsidies could do with a few cuts, or do you think having HFCS in every single product on the shelves edible and non is a good idea just because it’s cheaper?
 
As I have seen, not just in my life but through the span of my grandfather’s as well, when you give bare-average people that kind of choice, that kind of power, no matter how ‘educated’ that ends even more poorly. For everyone. Especially when they aren’t the ones who would be most likely to vote for such laws. The average person is not that smart, and very very gullible, and the US to me is the greatest example of its greatest possible failing. They allow their emotions to do the voting, no matter how many freedoms of others these shall cost as a result. Its first few amendments being the only thing keeping it from being as ridiculous and repulsive as the UK. I would never want another nation to ever have that maddeningly chaotic system of ‘government.’ I would not wish democracy upon my enemies. I would nuke them before I enforced democrazy upon them. It would be far more merciful.
 
Also my following isn’t limited just to the world war, I’ve traced the literature all the way back to the 17th century ecological movements where it truly began. Mussy simply named the finished product the way Gates and Jobs ‘created’ modern computers.

Fascism constricts the symbiotic tie of the worker and the leader.  
If the leader gets too much freedom, it’ll end poorly for the nation. I’m not too fond of democracy, but it’s a lot better than the alternatives for no other reason than it gives the people a choice in who gets too run their society. Fascism’s only upside is mass industrialization, which is not good on rural folk.

Still superior to what exists now. Also it will have quite a long life if I have anything to say about it!  
I would also support a constitutional monarchy in the vein of Aelfred’s as well. It’s really up to whomever wins first, so long as anything which even smells of democracy is done away with permanently. I personally loathe everything attributed in some way with it. The modern world (especially post2000s) I see as its final product. The experiment is done. It is time to cut the cord and let it die forever.

@NK  
Why are you so in favor of fascism? It’s such a short term political system, why bother?

I wouldn’t know what a true anarchist consists of anyway, I’m a fascist by both trade and lifestyle. ;Þ  
I’ve made more donations personally to the Deutschevolksunion than bronies have collected for various kiddie charities.
 
The violent stuff is all quite accurate though. If they or the NPD decide a putsch is how we should put the CDU out, then a putsch I shall push! Also have probably dropped an equivalent amount of money (but scattered many different ways) to various HEMA groups, either anonymously or as membership fees, and once more again to environmentalist groups. I don’t buy much shit for myself aside from good quality booze and games and a handful of neat guns, so every single other dollar gets split 3 ways between political/recreational/ecological groups. When we finally take back Germany (with votes or by force I don’t really give a buck) my political dollars will go to the arts and culture and religion (odinism/wotanism) instead.

@gg666 That’s not really saying much though, lots of insane people rationalize their thoughts and behaviors by appealing to various extremist/non-mainstream ideologies. Additionally, anarchism gets singled out a lot because of the popular trope that “anarchy=chaos”, which causes some antisocially-minded people to identify with it without really understanding the ideological framework and the schools of thought behind it, giving us all a bad name. Besides, since NK sets off my troll radar big time I doubt that he actually believes half the stuff he writes (and if he does, then he likely wouldn’t consider me a “true” anarchist anyway).

@gg
 
Well what did you really expect? Anarchy would be idiotic in this time era. It’s tantamount to totalitarianism in how much effective stuff gets done. Maybe less.

this thread also made me realize that some anarchists are just insane

That delayed shrug by the girl on the right made me laugh inside.

This thread makes me extremely happy that I live in Hawaii and my worst memory was getting Boggle for Christmas at age 8.

Hey, tell that to Creative Assembly! I picked it up off my Inquisitor!
 
@Coltte, would you like to join in? :v  
Sorry bout leaving ya’ll hanging in suspense but the site started freaking out and eating comments like a fat Pinktch eats cake so I went to play some Rise of Legends instead.

Fourth grade was the fucking worst.

Wait, wait, you’re seriously whining about being bullied in the 4th grade by a girl? The 4th fucking grade?
 
Is this nigga serious?

This was not a happy thread.

Well, since we’re sharing stories of bullies…  
I was your typical “quiet, brooding fellow who kept to himself, was terrible at sports, and preferred books”. Yeah, I took shit from bullies in middle school and high school up to late sophomore year, though most of it insults and taunts rather then anything physical, which I just ignored. The one time in high school that some idiot tried to pick a fight with me… I don’t remember much of it. A punch to my gut, and by the end of the fight I was relatively unscathed, pulled back by a teacher, while he was holding his bloody nose. We were both suspended for a few days. To this day I have no idea how a runt like me did that to a football player a head taller then me. I DO remember the afterparty that my relatives through for me. “You got suspended, but you won the fight, we’re proud of you, chico” and stuff like that. I’m kind of surprised the guy didn’t try to get revenge, since he avoided me from then on.  
So! From then on, most of the kids who made “lol ur a fag” jokes seemed to be terrified of me, and that reputation seemed to last to the end of high school. One old bully outright asked me if I would shoot him one day(my dad was a gun nut). Still, I had my own circle of friends that stuck by me, so my school years were alright overall.
