"match my freak!" match my sweetness. match my benevolence. match my empathy. match my ability to feel emotions so deeply it tears me apart from the inside out

“I don’t learn this in school :(“

Hey here’s a question what steps have you taken to increase your education and knowledge since graduating?

[nietzsche813]

I don’t really blame working class people for fantasizing about becoming capitalists given that there is no collective political proletarian subject anymore and it really is like “well if we aren’t doing shit about this nightmare then why shouldn’t I at least escape it and do well on my own.” That’s the logical conclusion people are left with if they have no hope other than personally escaping wage labor. And you therapy radlibs and “communists” don’t help the case by moralizing about it either. Why should anyone listen to a smug bureaucrat who doesn’t have anything to offer but more asceticism? If you want to actually live at all instead of wasting away in a living death then your choices really are to either become an exploiter or make the irrational and to be honestly insane (not that those are bad characteristics) choice to try to work with others to bury the existing life denying world and overcome the nihilism of endless and pointless work and accumulation

“Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred.”

"For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think."

-Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossesed

[nietzsche813]

If the capitalist, aided by his faithful valet, the government, has not by means of law and hunger, succeeded in reducing the workman into actual bondage, it is because the latter has had his moments of revolt; it is because he struggled, at the price of nameless privations and numberless victims. It is with a stone or a torch in his hand, sometimes with a rifle at his shoulder, that he has torn from the vampire an infinitesimal portion of that which might have come to him from the scientific progress of the century. Every penny gained on wages, every liberty earned in the workshop is marked by the corpses of workmen; and if only the number of these victims could be counted, no one would dare talk to him about “progress” already gained.

- Peter Kropotkin, “The New Era” (1896)

[nietzsche813]

“We must recognize, and loudly proclaim, that every one, whatever his grade in the old society, whether strong or weak, capable or incapable, has, before everything, the right to live, and that society is bound to share amongst all, without exception, the means of existence at its disposal. We must acknowledge this, and proclaim it aloud, and act upon it.”

— Peter Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread

“In a revolutionary period it is always the best who die. The law of sacrifice leaves the last word to the cowards and the timorous since the others have lost it by giving the best of themselves. The ability to speak always implies that one has betrayed.”

La liberté ou la mort, extrait

Robespierre jouait à lancer des branches à Brount avec Elisabeth, à quelques distances devant eux. Il courrait pour entraîner le molosse derrière lui, et jetait le bâton de toutes ses forces, ne se souciant pas de voir s'il risquait de tacher ses bas blancs de boue. Brount partait comme un fou avec ses grandes pattes désordonnées, la langue pendant sur le côté et la queue frétillante. Quand il revenait avec le morceau de bois, Elisabeth et Maximilien devaient s'escrimer à le lui récupérer et tiraient de toutes leurs forces pour le lui arracher de la gueule. Le jeu recommençait ensuite, pour la plus grande joie des trois participants.

Saint-Just marchait les bras croisés dans le dos, au rythme d'Eléonore.

-Eléonore, maintenant que nous sommes bons amis, puis-je me permettre une question?

La jeune fille lui sourit d'un air indulgent.

- Voyons la question.

Saint-Just se racla la gorge et fixa son regard sur la pointe de ses bottes.

- Eh bien... je ne comprends pas que tu ne sois pas amoureuse de lui.

Eléonore laissa échapper un petit rire. Elle ne paraissait pas particulièrement vexée ou embarrassée par cette question indiscrète.

-Et pourquoi cela ? demanda-t-elle.

Saint-Just redressa la tête et fit un geste de la main vague vers Brount qui s'était mis à aboyer joyeusement, et Elisabeth qui faisait semblant de jeter le bâton pour la troisième fois.

- Je ne sais pas, regarde le... Tout à l'heure il faisait un travail de géant pour la patrie, et maintenant il se contente d'une récompense si simple ! Jouer avec son chien, nourrir ses oiseaux, manger le potage de ta mère ce soir, lire quelques pages de Rousseau au coin du feu...

-... quelques oranges, une visite de son cher Saint-Just...

- Si nous parvenons à installer et à protéger notre république, il ne cherchera aucune récompense pour lui même. Il ne faudra pas davantage que ces quelques plaisirs que nous avons évoqués pour faire son bonheur. Quand on en vient à le connaitre, il est si doux, si sincère. Parfois, cela me noue le coeur quand j'y pense.

- Certainement, approuva Eléonore en venant prendre le bras d'Antoine, et c'est pour cela que mes parents le considèrent comme leur fils et moi comme mon frère. Le sang ne me le rendrait pas plus cher.

- Un frère, oui...Mais imagine le comme époux, ne serait-ce pas mieux encore ? La voix de Saint-Just s'était réduite à un murmure rêveur. Il est si loyal, si dévoué. Non vraiment, tu ne trouveras pas mieux que lui.

-Pour ce qui est du physique... commença Eléonore

- Du physique ! répéta-t-il, le cri qu'il ne réussit par à réprimer attirant un instant l'attention de Brount vers lui. Comment peux tu parler du physique face à une telle âme ! Et puis de toute façon la physionomie de Maximilien n'a rien de désagréable, regarde, il est petit certes, mais il a les mollets bien fait, une mine intelligente, des yeux verts, un joli nez...

- Tu ne trouves pas qu'il a un style un peu démodé?

- Maximilien s'en fiche des fariboles de la mode! Il prends soin de ses vêtement et il est toujours bien mis. On ne peut pas en dire autant des trois quarts des députés qui siègent à la Convention avec les cheveux gras et les bottes crottées. Son style est très respectable.

Eléonore se mit à rire de bon coeur devant l'air révolté de Saint-Just.

-Antoine... Si moi je ne suis pas amoureuse de lui, rien ne t'empêche de l'être, toi.

I'm already kind of annoyed only from the trailer because Louis is portrayed as a gullible victim, but I'll give it a chance when it's out.

[nietzsche813]

I'm dying of laughter. I don't know why I had the urge to look up Robespierre's astrological chart, but the result is quite funny :

"Maximilien Robespierre, Fire predominates in your birth chart and brings you intuition, energy, courage, self-confidence and enthusiasm! You are inclined to passion, and you know how to assert your will and move forward against all odds, to go all the way to your dreams and goals. The relative weakness of this element is undoubtedly the lack of perspective regarding others or perhaps a form of boldness that can push you to risky imprudence.

Communication is key, Maximilien Robespierre! The predominance of Air signs in your chart favors and amplifies your taste for relationships with others and travel of all kinds, whether real or symbolic - new ideas, escapes through the power of your mind. You gain in flexibility and adaptability what you may lack in assertion or a sense of concreteness.

Earth values ​​are underrepresented in your birth chart, with only 8.56% instead of 25%, which is the average. This deficiency in Earth can indicate that you are not overly interested in material, concrete goods. You may live too much in your heart or in your head, or even in your enthusiasm, Maximilien Robespierre! In any case, you may find yourself in delicate situations due to a lack of common sense or foresight: material life is unavoidable even if you are idealistic, dreamy or need little comfort in life.

The Mutable mode corresponds to a majority of elements in your birth chart, Maximilien Robespierre, which is the sign of a personality in motion, intelligent and curious, eager for new experiences and evolution. You are lively, flexible, you like to react quickly to the requests you receive and with you, there is no question of stagnating. Security does not matter as long as there is no boredom. You seek to optimize and change things, to change yourself... and all this as fast as possible."
