>vc spy distract dumbass vc cell agents sneak up steal camera

That was a great movie. Watched it for the first time a fee months ago. Always found it strange how only the first half of the film is memed about on the internet. The tone shift in the second half was an experience to say the least

the ugly advertisements in the background always struck me with this scene

Archibald Kennedy
>There is, in every Family, a Sort of Government without any fixed Rules; and indeed it is impossible, even in a little Family, to form Rules for every Circumstance; and therefore it is better conceived than expressed; but perfectly understood by every Individual belonging to the Family. The Study of the Father or Master, is for the Good of the Whole; all Appeals are to him; he has a Power, from the Reason and Nature of Things, to check the Insolent, or Indolent, and to encourage the Industrious: In short, the whole Affairs of the Family are immediately under the Care or Direction of the Father or Master; and this is a natural Prerogative, known and acknowledged by every Man living, who has ever had a Family, or been any Ways concerned in a Family, in all Ages and in all Places. His Majesty, as he is our political Father, his political Prerogative, from the like Circumstances and Reasons, is equally necessary. And this political Authority has been allowed the supreme Director, in all States, in all Ages, and in all Places; and without it, there would be a Failure of Justice.

Robert Filmer / Directive Power
>The first Father had not only simply power, but power monarchical, as he was a Father, immediately from God. For by the appointment of God, as soon as Adam was created he was monarch of the world, though he had no subjects; for though there could not be actual government until there were subjects, yet by the right of nature it was due to Adam to be governor of his posterity: though not in act, yet at least in habit. Adam was a King from his creation: and in the state of innocency he had been governor of his children; for the integrity or excellency of the subjects doth not take away the order or eminency of the governor.

>but as for directive power, the condition of human nature requires it, since civil society cannot be imagined without power of government: for although as long as men continued in the state of innocency they might not need the direction of Adam in those things which were necessarily and morally to be done; yet things indifferent, that depended merely on their free will, might be directed by the power of Adam's command.

I think a good illustration between the stress of absolute monarchy & "neofeudalists"/some constitutional monarchists is between the Catholic Church's Ultramontanism/Papal Primacy versus Orthodoxy's autocephalous churches.

Papalism has a unitary/corporate structure.
Orthodoxy has Aristotle's partnership of clans, numerous churches and their primates, with Constantinople being the first among equals in honors.

Jean Bodin considered Papalism to really be Conciliarism either way, but the pretense of Papalism is basically unitary.
Those two samples is a good illustration for why absolute monarchy of the 16th-19th centuries is more earnest monarchism than the pretenses of Medievalists with their De Jouvenel and "traditional monarchy"–(they're just looking out for Papalism at the end of the day).
Anyways, all Christians are monarchists for Jesus no matter the Church organization–so keep this in mind too.

Thomas Hobbes
>The error concerning mixed government [constitutionalism] has proceeded from want of understanding of what is meant by this word body politic, and how it signifies not the concord, but the union of many men.

>The other error in this his first argument is that he says the members of every Commonwealth, as of a natural body, depend one of another. It is true they cohere together, but they depend only on the sovereign, which is the soul of the Commonwealth

>They who compare a City and its Citizens, with a man and his members, almost all say, that he who hath the supreme power in the City, is the relation to the whole City, such as the head is to the whole man. But it appears by what has been already said, that he who is endued with such a power (whether it be a man, or a Court) has a relation to the City, not as that of the head, but of the soul to the body. For it is the soul by which a man has a will, that is, can either will, or nill.

This is the assessment of Jean Bodin, Louis XIV, & Voltaire–the Popes (in respect to the Orthodox bishops)–& also Gaius Caligula said, "Let there be one lord, one king" to all his vassal kings at a banquet–so I agree with them.
…Monarchists… on the other hand… are always snarling at absolute monarchy, the vast majority of them being constitutional monarchists… and bickering about centralization/decentralization, and arguing on behalf of Aristotle's notion of a partnership of clans, either for the Nobility of estates (without the preeminence of one royal estate) or for multi-party democracy (without the preeminence of one party corporatism…)

Emperor Tiberius often used a phrase – Auribus teneo lupum – "holding a wolf by the ears" to describe ruling the Roman Empire.
A great deal of people think a ruler is overthrown on account of good or bad of a ruler, but there is a great indifference overall, and like the standpoint of Hobbes… the tongue of a man is a trumpet of war and sedition – no matter how good or bad of a ruler – and civilization is not something to be taken for granted, but may easily be broken – no matter how integral – and dashed to pieces.

Don't take anyone's loyalty for their word or think it will come naturally with the gentle breeze. It takes a lot of effort. And even then… By default, don't consider people reliable that way. Seek out the opportunity, but definitely don't take anything for granted.
Like Machiavelli suggests, there are many counterfeit loyalties. When the heat is on, people bail.

As for revolting, Tempest Shadow (from the MLP movie) & Hobbes are more accurate: people revolt either when it is opportune or when their discontent foments from personal harm to them directly as to kill them. They don't revolt because it is their duty. Their natural state might as well be revolt (war of all against all)–no need for Aquinas to tell them.

People don't care. –They don't really care if USA is bombing and killing other people far away or if others they barely know suffer–and they'll bring up the suffering to take advantage of it against their opponents to shame them, not out of compassion for the suffering.

When it comes to resistance theory, and in particular Aquinas, another factor Hobbes has over them is that while they anticipate people will revolt when there is injustice – I think what Hobbes has over Aquinas here is that civilization is not a free gift of the human spirit, or a political animal, and that people are naturally inclined to stick together for the benefit of their body-politic – rather, ruling the people is like ruling wolves, who are ready to pounce and bite at any instance, unjustly or justly, they'll pounce if you stick your neck out and give them the opportunity… and among the reasons they don't revolt is because there is an influx of doggy treats holds off discontent and fear for their livelihood if they do–but this view, that people are predisposed to revolt, basically unravels pulls the rug from underneath resistance theory by changing the perspective, as Hobbes says, that the tongue of a man is like a trumpet of war, and this pessimistic tone that civilization is fragile and can fracture at any moment puts more stress on security and stability in spite of this.

I'm not altogether sure I would say people are totally motivated by self-interest/life preservation, but I agree with Hobbes that people aren't born apt for political society (which Hobbes states against Aristotle) – at least, if anything, people aren't born ready for royal monarchy – instead they have to be reared and ePost too long.

>If you mean investors, contractors and financiers, then yes.
Even they lose if they lose access to markets, labour, and resources, or if they face new restrictions on their ability to expand or defend their interests. You can't seriously sit there and tell me that the German bourgeoisie "won" WW1 by losing their colonies, having their military severely reduced, having to pay onerous reparations, dealing with hyperinflation, etc.

>>787560
No one said the national bourgeoisie cannot lose, retard. That's the outcome of inter-imperialist wars like WW1 and WW2.

Lenin pointed out that imperialist war isn't solely a war against the international working class, but also a struggle between imperialists themselves.

As it turns out destroying the productive forces of a given country entails hurting its national bourgeoisie, a small sacrifice on the alter of international captial as a whole and its wellbeing.

>>787564
>No one said the national bourgeoisie cannot lose
That's the implication of stating that the purpose of war is to destroy capital and combat overproduction. If that's the real objective of every capitalist war, then any bourgeoisie which kills people and breaks shit "wins" the war, even if they lose. I'm pointing out the inherent absurdity in this way of thinking.
>Lenin pointed out that imperialist war isn't solely a war against the international working class, but also a struggle between imperialists themselves
Yes that's my point. Bourgeois states wage war in order to accomplish specific objectives related to their narrow national (bourgeois) interests, not for the benefit of the global capitalist system in the abstract. As such they win or lose based on whether they achieve those objectives, and failure to do so can have serious negative consequences for them. It may be true for example that capitalism as a whole benefitted from WW1, but it would be pretty hard to argue that the German bourgeoisie specifically did.




 

a common naive misconception among the political left is that the ruling class don't care about the poor and the marginalized, but that's not true at all. they are very interested in these people - they hate them. they don't just turn their backs on them; they deliberately go out of their way to hurt them, they devote time and money and resources to keeping them poor and marginalized and preventing anyone else from helping them, they want them all to starve and suffer and die. it's not necessarily a conscious desire, not a diabolical orchestrated conspiracy, they aren't all convening in secret to decide all of this like the legion of doom or something, it is simply their nature, they are compelled to do it because power is all that they understand.

the ruling class are so wealthy and greedy now that they see the poor and marginalized as worse than useless. in a more quaint time they would enslave them and use them for cheap labor, but even that's not worth their time anymore. why enslave the poor and marginalized in your own country and deal with all the hassles of labor laws and minimum wages and strikes and lawsuits when you can just enslave people in some distant foreign land whom you can pay even less and never have to even see or think about, or just automate the labor with machines? in a more quaint time they would exploit their desperation and sell them worthless garbage at a markup but even that's not worth their time anymore. why scam nickels and dimes from the poor and marginalized when you could be scamming rich people like investors and managers and doctors and politicians, people who actually have money to spend?

the ruling class no longer see the poor and marginalized as cattle; they see them as vermin. cockroaches. a person of inadequate means and/or divergent characteristics is an insult to them, a vulgarity, a foul stench and an eyesore. they want these people gone, exterminated, to make room for people and things that actually matter. if you think this is hyperbole, ask yourself this: why do the ruling class fight so hard to destroy things like public healthcare and public education and welfare and food stamps and subsidized housing when they don't even pay taxes and these social programs don't cost them a dime? why are the ruling class investing billions of dollars into things like fertility drugs and in-vitro fertilization and genetic screening and incessantly catastrophizing about declining birth rates in privileged aPost too long.

All of the technologies they think they can use to arrogantly make themselves into "demigods" won't work. Like how the emperors of China used mercury to try to acheive immortality.

The ruling class is not smart or clever, but is infact much more stupid and incompetent than you realize. And all of the BS they talk about is just hype that won't a tually work.

They are not powerful, just afraid of their own deaths.

i would kinda grant that while the ruling class is dick-swingingly retarded, proles, petty booj and lumpens are so much more shit-flinging stupid cannibals. this is my yankee wage-slave ass typing this

it says a lot about humanity that the people ruling us over are cannibal pedophiles

>they hate them
That isnt true therefore the rest isnt worth reading.
If they actually hated them it would be a progress from the current situation, that is the "elites" actually worshipping them and their folk widsome like an environementalist worship the trees.
They do not think of them as people in the same way as them sure but hate isnt the relationship they have with the bottom 99%. At all.
