Even if that were true of bureaucrats, you're a lawyer.  People don't become lawyers unless there's hate in their heart.  Hell, the entire profession of lawyering depends on empire-building.
:( But I direct my hate towards those people who deserve it, like shoplifters, wife-beaters, pot-heads and single mothers.
Admirable, but when the method you use is flawed, it damages the outcome.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Don't mess with single moms, BB. They are the easiest and best lays.  :mad:

But several of those attributes are present in a fascist system. The three-part regime of labour, capital and state is a wet dream of Mussolini.

Needs more territorial expansion.

psst... invade Ethiopia.

We'll probably claim Antarctica as a territory and see how it goes. Fuck the world. Norway found that pole. And just to spite people, we will cover ourselves in whale blubber and aquavit.

As if every Norwegian doesn't do that already...

I was more interested in the armed men intimidating with impunity state officials angle.

We have to dispense with that, as that's an issue of Freedomism and Libertyhood at work; sorta like how Otto managed to conflate the evils of the environmental lobby's control of the Obama Administration with this event, a simple issue of outstanding court-ordered debt collection.

:hmm:

So if those gun toting Slavs in E.Ukraine framed their intimidation in those terms, they'd get a pass from Derspiessenrepublica ?

Well, on a more serious note, stacking firewood is good therapy.
Not as good as chopping and sawing, though.

As a sidenote, I got my first axe when I was 5 years old. Me and my arthritic grandfather were chopping firewood. Being just 5 years old and not very strong, the axe slipped and stuck in my thigh. This was at the family cabin far away from everything. So basically I just got a bandage and was told to "stick with it and shut the hell up".

I love 70s parenting. And grandparenting. Sugar or death threats.

Yeah, you can the conflict in Derspeiss and Otto over this.  The heart wants to join the militias opposing the evil federal government, but their mind is telling them "This guy just wants a free ride".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You couldn't be further from the truth on me Raz, I've always been an authoritarian. I'm much more Pinochet than Paul.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,   
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Let's bomb Russia!

Then you really shouldn't waste time going on about environmentalists.  That's the traitor's talking points.
