How absurdly prophetic of Nietzsche.

Ideologies are gay anyways. What do you mean you subscribe 100% to a single ideology and agree with every single point of that established ideology? Imagine outsourcing your thinking, that’s slave mentality.

Mussolini and his brand of Italian fascism changed their ideological positions so frequently that in 1922 he reduced the party platform to a single sentence: “Our programme is simple: We want to rule Italy.”
In politics, just as in everything else in life, it’s all about the will to power, not ideologies.

Found out Kissinger was a blatant antisemite. Not sure there’s been a more polarizing figure in modern American history.

Already an amazing book, but reading this before starting a healthcare position was very eye opening. Completely changed my perspective.

Makes you wonder if the sale of indulgences ever ended, or if they were simply rebranded.

[a @flameisreal]

Majority of these “donations” are to their respective churches, which is interesting, as the sale of indulgences was one of the primary causes of the Protestant reformation in the first place.

A distinction is lost in the debate about insanity and the insanity defense. Nobody denies that insanity is a real phenomenon. Insane people exist. Recently I saw a homeless guy on the street corner, half naked, unwashed, engaged in a heated dispute with a lamp post. He was very obviously insane. He had no idea where he was, who he was, or what he was doing. If he ever killed someone, which it’s perfectly likely he will, I would agree that he had very little control over it. Although he still (even more so, if anything) needs to be locked away forever.

The real debate is about the concept of “temporary insanity.” The question is where a functional, coherent person — someone capable of living as a normal member of society, and engaging in normal conversations and showing an ability to plan for the future and fulfill their basic obligations and do all the stuff normal people do — could nonetheless suddenly go insane and lose all agency, only to quickly regain agency and be somehow not crazy again.

I think this idea is mostly mythological, something out of the movies and not real life. And at any rate, it’s totally unfalsifiable. It could never be proved or disproved. There is no way at all, ever, to determine what was happening inside the conscious mind of a currently sane person weeks or months ago at a specific moment in time. And so even if “temporary insanity” is a real thing — which I highly doubt — it would still be absolutely impossible to demonstrate or prove, and literally any criminal for all we know could have been “temporarily insane” at the time of their crime.

Our only choice then is to hold currently sane people entirely accountable for the crimes they committed, no matter what they were or weren’t thinking at the time. And as for currently insane people, we can feel very sorry for them if we want to, but they too have to be locked away forever for the good of society and the sake of the innocents they can never be trusted to be around. So all of this is a long way of saying that this whole debate is ultimately, or should be ultimately, irrelevant.
