All authoritarian regimes rely on extortion and corruption.

@pocketmarcy6990 it applies to every single nation that's ever existed

@WarblesOnALot you forgot to mention their active persecution of homosexual, bisexual and transgender people through exclusion, victim blaming and economically supporting political opression such as the Ugandan "kill the gays" bill that aimed at making same sex interactions a death penalty offense.

Yeah, it was just as bad as your indentured servant system that's still in effect in the US as a for profit prisons variant.

@TheCimbrianBull even funnier because the Swedish government used a blue and yellow striped Tiger to remind people of not talking to strangers during ww2 neutrality watch as the word Tiger in swedish also means to hold your tounge, so, En svensk tiger (A Swedish tiger, and, A Swede holds their tounge), was a useful pun, double entendre and motivational tool.

@NoeHernandezPe767 not really, it's 100% playing to the already, miseducated Russian working class to keep domestic unrest supressed by misdirection.

And post war, the label of 'race' was replaced with the far less obvious apropriation and corruption of the concept of 'culture' and bloodline references re-labeled as 'cultural essence'

Wtf are you smoking?

The intellectual dishonesty of your comment is even obvious.

@timoliver1004 because that statement is factually false, you are the dishonest revisionist.
5
That quote by itself is a self defeating appeal to authority fallacy, and exposes your ignorance on top of it.
5
And some of the worst :/

Yes, and that's why it has been so contested throughout history.
3
That's as stupid as trying to argue that you are enslaved when you have to pay for a service or a membership fee in a club.
3
Because it mostly is... Both Trumps "alt-right" sycophants and the Brexit crowd subscribe to the same authoritarian and supremacist victim blaming conspiracy narrative as the german Nazis established to ursurp the Weimar republic through the inherent vulnerability of a democratic system and replace it from within through control and manipulation of the publics access to information.

@oneofthetwobucksfansonyout2717 I think that burned too hot for him to notice it...

Yeah, and that final part is the biggest tragedy of the whole domino board.
2
WHACK!

@justonemori stop beeing disingenious and dishonest
2
@WarblesOnALot you don't see a problem with an organization claiming to be charitable and helpful trying to get people murdered by the court system of their own country just for having romantic relations with someone of the same sex? Gtfo.
2
And still, there's a party in parliament that actively tries to reinstate it in effect by different, newspeak terminology...
2
@КириллВольский-ц2ж they were monarchs... ergo tyrants by default, regardless of how benign their ambitions were.
2
Unless the dames or broads beat you to the punch?
2
@poli_zgaming3616 that's not a bug, that's an intentional feature. Capitalism will always trend into feudalism and kleptocracy as the drive for ever increasing profits in a resource limited reality will always create artificial shortages and systemic enslavement of workers.

SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT

@warrenhollowbooks whatever. I didn't imply anyone was innocent, unlike you who conviniently skip over the fact that it's the alt-right who are the ideology based agressors through advocating for and repeatedly trying to implement concepts like eugenics, force active political control over the press, forced births through denial of practical access to abortion combined with denial of practical access to fact based sex ed, family planning councel and contraceptives, breaking the separation between state and religion, forced sterilization as a requisite for gender confirmation treatment etc ad nauseam.

@EATshitanddrinkbleac indeed.
2
The Swedish surnames that doesn't end in -son/-sson are often indicative of nobility or soldier or industrial worker ancestry. The latter because it was unwieldy for officers and factory managers of the 16th to 19th century to have half a dozen Sven Karlsson or Per-Anders Jönsson in the same line company or production line so they simply renamed their personell to something related to their physical or psychological traits or their work.

@stanbrekston I was born on the Swedish island of Gotland in 1984, and for the first twelve years of my life, the only foreign looking people I remember seeing in real life was two adopted Korean kids, one of whom was in my class and the other his one year older sister. Black people, I'd only seen on TV!

No worse or better than any other capitalists of the time.

@pavloskoropadsky8699 if only hell existed... but I'd settle for everyone in the russian leadership structure that chose to blindly follow orders either returning to russia as ashes in an urn or facing the judgement of the ICC for their unforgivable crimes.
1
@rdbchase indeed, as an educated populace without fear is the worst possible outcome for corporate capitalism as educated people can call out marketing frauds and organize boycots while ignorant scared people take everything they are told that confirms their fear by promising an 'easy' sollution to alleviate those fears regardless if their fears or the promised sollution are real or imaginary.
1
@lati long yeah... those were never fighting for freedom, and we'd be better off in Sweden today if all those bastard traitors had died in Soviet Gulags instead of beeing allowed to return and rebuilding new nazi movements and subversive "parties" under new names such as SD...
1
@blaisevillaume9051 that they do.

Agression against poland? That was your entitled kings fault for illegitimately trying to claim the Swedish crown too instead of staying content with what he already had on his side of the Baltic sea. But yes, the drug wars going on right now are highly frustrating, especially as the loudest "law and order" posers are only comitting to policy and budgets that makes those problems worse.
1
@FortuneZer0 no, it was still Sigismunds fault since he could have dropped his claims at the scribble of a quill.

Indeed, today, the corresponding problems can be found in the Rot & Rut subsidized service sectors as well as the transportation, construction and disability service sectors that was deregulated and privatized by the right wing block even before the main nazi party successfully duped large parts of the people with newspeak and maskirovka...
1
@jackdoyle7453 not until Russia ceases agression towards it's neighbours on all levels.
1
That's just the thing that made it just as bad! The flexibility was exclusively for the factory owners and the capitalists, NOT for the workers, the lumberjacks, the builders, the farmers...
1
@ScrogginHausen so you say, as one of the self exposed sycophants...
1
@warrenhollowbooks unlike his supporters who shoot up synagogues or drive cars into counter protests to actually murder them...
1
Were you born as the stupid bootlicker you sound like or did you make an active effort?
1
Slavery is not always chattel slavery.
1
@joshuacondell1686 sadly probably not before the racist upper classes, religions, both of whom maintain their socioeconimic dominance and excessive lifestyle by divisive dogma and their legacies has been reduced to historical foot notes... So frustratingly not before the likely now inevitable environmental worst case scenario...
1
@slcpunk2740 lol! My country quit doing that dance a couple of centuries ago. Providing raw materials for other nations as they rebuild after reverse engineering their tech that got misplaced during their wars turned out to be a lot more lucrative ;)

@wkartchner I suggest you send a letter/email to 'The Townsends' channel to see if they would be interested in using parts of that book in their living history episodes. Though they primarily focus on the 18th century colonies, they do also do episodes on later settings.

Capitalism organically and inevitably trends towards corporate feudalism if not harshly regulated and kept on an almost non-existant short self-strangling leash. Arbeiter von Wien intensifies in the distance
