Where do you live that after reading “libertarianism” first thing you think about is left?

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah. In Poland libertatrianism started around 1980 with a pretty fun episode when Janusz Korwin-Mikke went to the famous opening strike of solidarność in the Gdańsk Shipyard and preached to them the virtues of capitalism and free market. Shocked workers listened to the nonsense, concluded he has to be a militia provocateur (he really wasn’t) and locked him in the shed.

Currently, polish libertarians have such overlap with monarchists and neonazis they are even for years in a single political party - Konfederacja.

Tsar Nicholas ordered prohibition in 1914. RSFSR retained it after revolution until it was abolished in 1925.

To be fair, people like holidays and it’s tradition far older than capitalism, the calendar in most of catholic and orthodox countries (and afaik the nonchristian religions aren’t that much different in that) since medieval up to even XX century in some places was literally counted not by months and days, but from holiday to holiday and there was dozens of them, so every few days except maybe the great fast there was this or that holiday. Capitalism just took the heavily cutted protestant version and concentrated the holidays even further, but the actual celebrations are just few days (we can’t give proles too much free days, we need the labour to steal!) so that the preparations got extended beyond the wildest expectations.

Also christian god supposedly don’t like religious opportunists very much so people going pascal on him would probably regret it if it was correct.

It comes from the Old German Hlutwik (various possible spelling) meaning “Famous warrior”. Polish language even have two versions of it - Ludwik straight from German and Alojzy from French.

Nah, in case of apocalypse we are gonna be in the the 99% of skeletons in the dust.

Which honestly would be preferable compared to the madness and misery of postapo movies.

Disdain for the poor shows first in those types. Also what about top hats?

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Also fun fact: at least in Poland top hats became proletarian headwear because the only people wearing them currently are the chimney sweepers.

It does speeds up. I remember my teens and 20’s and they weren’t that short. But next 2 decades are a blur. Either some brain quirk or just mindless drudgery taking up 80% or my time did that.

How do you know it isn’t the poor rat offering his weekly racket doughnut to the rat mafia boss?

Right, it’s not in the meme though.

It is a real word btw, patronymic meaning “Son of Andrew” turned into surname.

You’re not wrong. On the other hand, i would prefer mediocre game from Paradox over every single one of those that you listed solely on base of genre.

What is the OP about on? Cities Skylines 2? It have better reviews now that the first wave of negbomb passes. Also i wouldn’t even take those under consideration, paradox forum crowd have long and established tradition of negbombing on steam for petty reasons.

At least Austrasia isn’t a thing anymore.

As a Pole i can relate being confused by sudden exposure to Czech language.

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Austrasia. As you can see, it’s not a thing anymore.
