Anyone have any idea what his last words truly were? That kind of thing isn't normally reported so soon after but I'd like to know.

I always like to recall the last words of Oscar Wilde or at least, his alleged last words:

Bedridden with cerebral meningitis in Paris, he took note of the unsatisfactory decor of the room and said, "Either this wallpaper goes or I do."

Still, I wish people who wish to protest something wouldn't pick a pop-culture reference to represent themselves. They should represent who they are, not some icon the media made popular. It really degrades the whole message they want to spread.

Heheh, maybe if everyone dressed up like Natalie Portman.

When the people who are the intended recipients of the protesters message see this though, they probably can't take it seriously. "Oh look, the masses are decorating themselves like a film character". The superficiality of its origins comes forward more readily than the intended symbolic attachment behind it. It would be more effective to find some emotional, poignant symbolism that represents, and is unique to, the movement and message at large.

Augustus, what about that fun room that made everyone look like they were growing? Or lickable wallpaper? Wasn't that on the tour before you left it? Heck, how can you not look back and feel anything but joy at seeing the wonderful "Pure Imagination" performed LIVE? Dude, you were swimming in chocolate. Chocolate! Who else in the whole world can say that? Perspective, Augustus. Perspective is everything.

HAH! too true

I think he meant to say "Anarcho-Capitalist".

most of the anarchists i know are vegan. and resent the concept of private property.


Your diet is a very important part of your political leaning.

Exactly, people who espouse to be anarchists or libertarians only really want to be up to a point. They always seem to be quite happy to take those things that are provided by living in a society, but seem to get shirty when that entails paying taxes to fund such things.
Strange that.

....until a band of vicious outlaws takes them from you, captures you and forces you to fight to the death with other prisoners in a makeshift gladiatorial arena they've dubbed 'The Thunderdome'.


I use the compulsory services I'm forced to pay for. Yes. Government has a monopoly on violence, so I must use their armies and police. They've a monopoly on first class mail, so I use their postal service. They also maintain a monopoly on property, so I use their roads to move about and live on the land they claim to own.

Problem?

Trivia: What infamous WW2 era German dictator also despised socialism, communism and democracy?


The one that was part of a government?

The anarchist's cows drink from the poisoned groundwater and die because there was no society, regulations, and agencies to prevent the factory to dump all its toxic waste. Anarchy!
