there's also that whole tension, in christian nations, between "what christ taught" and what church needed in order to gain resources and prop up the power vertical. how should an aristocracy straddle that line between "kill yourself and your children for us and you'll go to haven" and "sell all you have, give alms to the poor". it seems like a lot of the aristocratic kids in the 19th century were sold the second version (with the full support a |

seems a matter of whether something beats the mind into accepting that the state of reality is entirely outside the control of a person, aside from a margin of error |

perhaps the degenerate kids scream and get whatever they want, then come of age, and are incapable of wanting anything sensible |

i very much doubt the man was motivated by greed, or at all comprehensible in the terms of the bourgeoisie. |

mircea_popescu: so what changed in the 19th century is that the beatings stopped? |
| 15:07 |
mircea_popescu |
it was changing by 1700, in france. |
| 15:08 |
mircea_popescu |
not that the beatings stopped, but that luis hated his father, and decided he'll rule with a bureaucracy rather than have more of that shit around. |
| 15:08 |
mircea_popescu |
so the aristocrats were taken to versailles and circumcised. |
| 15:08 |
phf |
hmm |
| 15:08 |
mircea_popescu |
the guillotine... minor point, and a necessity after thatanyway. |
| 15:08 |
mircea_popescu |
it was worth a shot, unequivocally. |
| 15:09 |
mircea_popescu |
but the problem comes back again and again to what i told pete d that day we were discussing "systems" : you can not afford to insult the powerful. |
| 15:11 |
mircea_popescu |
but the notion that the mob in the street invented anything or in any way created something... gimme a break. romanians for a while thought ceausescu was incredibly inventive in his stupidity. these being the folk too uncultured to know carol 2. in fact, the bootmaker was merely immitating, as best he could. |
| 15:11 |
mircea_popescu |
following, as it were, with the knife the lines drawn aforehand. |
| 15:11 |
mircea_popescu |
so yes, the french revolution is a "historical necessity". because a king at some point said so. |
| 15:12 |
phf |
oh i see |
| 15:14 |
mircea_popescu |
he didn't know at the time what he was saying. obviously. and perhaps didn't even care to find if what he said was or was not said before. |
| 15:14 |
mircea_popescu |
but the people whio did care thought - and i think today - it was worth a shot. |
| 15:14 |
mircea_popescu |
if we like or don't like the results - at least we know. |
| 15:15 |
mircea_popescu |
general indication seems to be that he didn't care for the result either. that "apres moi le deluge" is very similar to socrates' "i have nothing to offer nor do i wish to offer anything in fine." |

although there's a 1940s (?) soviet movie, where an american girl flees to soviet union, because she had a black baby, pursued by a capitalist who's trying to expose her. of course the predictable ending is everyone joins in a song "soviet russia, where all are accepted" |
