Your fukkin stupid, "mate", that's actually one of the more voluntaristic statements in Marx and is also just trivially true. I have no idea how you go from "history influences current events" to "Elliot Rodgers was under the thrall of 15th century aristocracy even though he didn't know anything about it and just watched Game of Thrones".


what about all of those freemen on the land/admiralty court type people. they're definitely trapped in some kind of post-feudal twilight zone

Girls Claim Slender Man Is Real, Accused Of Stabbing Friend 19 Times

Two 12-year-old girls from Waukesha, Wisconsin are facing attempted murder charges following a brutal attack on one of their classmates. An attack they say was inspired by their devotion to internet horror myth Slender Man.

The accused, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, are alleged to have invited a friend over for a sleepover, during which they had planned to murder her in order to appeal to Slender Man, who they say lived in a mansion in nearby countryside.

While out at a park the next day, Geyser is accused of stabbing their "friend" 19 times before leaving her for dead. The friend survived, however, having staggered towards a road where she was discovered and rushed to hospital.

The Journal Sentinel has a chilling account of the crime, including claims from Geyser that Slender Man had threatened to kill her family if she did not commit the murder.

Weier told police that Slender Man is the "leader" of Creepypasta, and in the hierarchy of that world, one must kill in order to show dedication. Weier said that Geyser told her they should become "proxies" of Slender Man — a paranormal figure known for his ability to create tendrils from his fingers and back — and kill their friend to prove themselves worthy of him. Weier said she was surprised by Geyser's suggestion, but also excited to prove skeptics wrong and show that Slender Man really did exist.

The two accused are being tried as adults due to the severity and nature of the crime. Were they to be tried as juveniles they would be released at the age of 25 if found guilty; tried as adults they could face up to 65 years in prison.

I'm always confused as to how "severity of the crime" is can get you tried as an adult. Only adults are twisted enough for this shit...

who invented this bullshit reason to put people in jail longer anyways?

sovereign citizens are the best, they get dragged in on driving without a valid license all the time and talk about how, due to the fringe on the american flag in the courtroom, admiralty law controls or some such. also freedom of contract, blah blah. very entertaining

It can be extremely amusing, it's tough to choose my favourite sovereign citizen moment. Next time a moor comes in on a misdemeanor traffic offence, my plan is to go "oh... oh no... we... there's... there's no jurisdiction? judge? please... my power... it's fading..."

'Like Wordsworth, he can’t tolerate the internal difference of things – hence the continual egotistical return to the illusory unity of the self. '

it's call autism and it's becoming the new normal

In the end, it comes back to Tintern Abbey and the dissolution of the monasteries. Elliot Rodger was propelled by a murderous culture of male entitlement, one in which women aren’t in any sense human beings but mere walking dispensers of sexual gratification. It’s an institutionalised system of domination that we’re all to some degree responsible for, a fact only confirmed by the inevitable self-centred attempts to wriggle out of this responsibility: but not all men!



this seems a bit like pandering but fair enough

they sound cool, i'm going to be one of those except i'm going to ignore court summons



they often do, and then a warrant goes out and ensures their appearance by placing them in custody. its almost like the state has the power to enact violence against a person regardless of their consent

i think the obvious lesson here is that the state cannot be defeated on its own terms and that only through violent revolution can true change come about. hide not behind your admiralty flags, ye moors. take arms against your sea of troubles and by opposing end them!
