Agiel Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Is there such a thing as too much Rammstein?

Gorth Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 *sigh*.... feels like ages since I posted any Rammstein in this thread Edit: They got fed up by a lot of media calling them alt-right and neo-nazis. Tired of the crap, this was their way of setting the record straight, their hearts are on their left side (metaphorically and literally), supporting the left wing spectrum of politics 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hmmm Testing. Looks like embedding videos is no longer allowed. So, here is another Rammstein without preview picture. Rather aptly named 'Zeig Dich' (show yourself) A song about the depravities and sexual abuse done by the church and the great lengths it goes to, to cover it up. Now it works for me too. Seems like the powers that be likes Rammstein too 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

213374U Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 We can't not have Rammstein embedding correctly. edit: retroactive double post! 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
