Poll: Round 1a #4

*Reminder that Break up is being used loosely here and not all relationships may be romantic in nature

Propaganda under cut:

Colm Doherty and Pádraic Súilleabháin:

"Their breakup is the main focus of the movie. Basically (spoilers) they’ve been best friends their whole lives, until one day Colm decides that Pádraic is too boring and cuts him off completely. Pàdraic has trouble accepting this and continues to try to talk with him, until Colm gets fed up and declares, like the VERY mentally healthy guy he is, that every time Pàdraic bothers him he will cut off one of the fingers on his left hand. Fast forward and Colm has cut off all his left hand fingers and thrown them at Pàdraic’s door and Pàdraic’s pet donkey chokes on the fingers and dies. Pàdraic then burns down Colm’s house in retaliation, and when Colm suggest’s that that’s the end of their feud, Pàdraic says that it will only end when one of them is dead. Absolutely devastating movie, I highly recommend it if you haven’t watched it."

Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr:

"they've been divorced and then back together so many times lol. their bitterest breakup is probably the one in first class though. in which erik puts on a helmet to block charles out of his head, kills a man and causes charles to feel that man's pain of dying, tries to kill a bunch more people before charles stops him, accidentally shoots charles which causes him to remain paralyzed for the rest of his life, and then runs away with his sister, abandoning him entirely not even knowing if he'll survive his injury."

 THE CROWN 2019

Yes, the system is unequal and unjust and cruel. Primogeniture divides and destroys families. The system stinks. But in its cruelty and injustice, it reflects something else, which is harsh and brutal, which no one is suggesting we rearrange. Life. We all desire equality, but here's the thing. We were not born equal.

Rewatching Favourite Scenes:-

The Crown 3x06: Little Sis Supports the Drama King

In Season 3 of The Crown, 20-year-old Prince Charles was sent to Aberystwyth to learn Welsh in preparation for his investiture as Prince of Wales – real life events which occurred in 1969. The real Charles struggled to feel welcome in the country, grappling with the language as well as anti-royalist sentiment : -

“I remember going round parts of Wales and being met by demonstrations ... you didn’t quite know what was going to happen. In those days, bombs went off.”

It does seem likely that the homesick prince would phone his then 18-year-old sister Anne for (adorably snarky) support during this turbulent time. With less than 2 years between them, the royal siblings have long been said to "rely on one another."

Anne continued to cheer her brother on. Following his time in Wales, Charles returned to Cambridge and, rather surprisingly, decided to pursue acting alongside his academic studies. The teenage princess was spotted watching in the audience as Charles performed a skit as a weather forecaster which he had written himself.

"[Charles] probably would have made it as a comic, if he'd been that way inclined,” said comedy writer John Lloyd, a fellow performer at Trinity College Dryden Society.

Other performances included Shakespeare. Perhaps one day Charles the drama king might become a Netflix star for real, with Princess Anne in best supporting role.

"When You Cross Pinochet With a Cyberpunk Dystopia…"

by Kevin Carson (November 9th, 2024):

"…what do you get? Answer: “Special Little Freedom Zones.”

That’s what Reason’s Liz Wolfe calls the Honduran “charter cities,” officially known as ZEDEs  (Zones for Economic Development and Employment), which were declared illegal in September by the Honduran Supreme Court (“No More Special Little Freedom Zones,” September 25). The ruling prohibits the creation of new ZEDEs; its effect on existing ones, like Próspera, Ciudad Morazán, and Zede Orquidea, is as yet unknown. 

Wolfe describes such charter cities as “special economic economic zones that are still bound by criminal law but able to create their own civil codes.” And again: “they get to set their own laws and regulations and typically choose to create more business-friendly conditions with less taxation.” 

Reason — and more specifically Reason’s Brian Doherty — has been shilling for these “special little freedom zones” since not long after a right-wing coup regime came to power in 2009. Doherty quotes an article Bryan Caplan wrote for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation:

“A charter city begins on empty land,” he said. “It can only grow by voluntary migration of workers and investors. If no one chooses to relocate, they’re no worse off than they would have been if the charter city had never existed.”

But that so-called “empty land” bears some looking into. Honduras, Lauren Carasik writes at Foreign Policy — like many other places in the Third World — has long been characterized by irregular or informal land titles not legally registered or recognized by the central government. 

Ortiz says that he has resided on the land in the community of Playa Blanca on Zacate Grande Island, off of Honduras’ west coast, for decades. The problem is that he doesn’t have a title to it, leaving him no recourse to the wall. His quandary is a common one: approximately 80 percent of the country’s privately held land is either untitled or improperly so according to a 2011 USAID report.

Writers like Hernando de Soto have argued that this lack of formal legal title, and the certainty and predictability, the ability to legally protect titles and enter into contract, that go with it, are a major reason for continued underdevelopment. De Soto sees the formalization of informal land titles as an important step toward prosperity.

The devil lies in the details. There are two ways to formalize customary or informal land claims — from the bottom up, and from the top down. Consider, for example, the 17th century English “land reform” after the Restoration of Charles II. As Christopher Hill argued, Parliament could regularize titles from the bottom up by abolishing feudal titles, fees, and rents and formally recognizing the peasant cultivators as the legal owners of the land they occupied and worked. Or, acting from the top down, it could instead abolish the feudal obligations of the landed classes and the customary rights of their peasant tenants, and transform them into fee simple owners, i.e. landlords in the modern capitalist sense — thereby turning peasant cultivators into simple tenants at will with no right to the land. Unsurprisingly Parliament — overwhelmingly dominated by the landed nobility and gentry — chose the latter course. In Christopher Hill’s words, “feudal tenures were abolished upwards only, not downwards.” 

Interestingly enough, leftist president Manuel Zelaya — the one who was overthrown in the 2009 coup — had, prior to his overthrow, been working on a land reform that would have regularized peasants’ informal and customary claims to the land they were working, and given them formal legal title. That wasn’t the kind of regularization the landed oligarchy of Honduras — any more than that of 17th century England — wanted.

President Hernandez, who was swept into power by the coup that overthrew Zelaya, approved the charter cities project. With the peasant occupants of land coveted by the ZEDE merchant-adventurers in possession of no formal legal title, the land could be treated as “unoccupied.” Carasik continues:

Zacate Grande Island, where only a few campesino families have title to their land, is a window into exactly what that process might look like. Though under the ZEDE law residents whose land is expropriated are supposed to be repaid, the majority of the island’s families lack the legal documents necessary to support claims for indemnities. And without legal and financial resources, Zacate Grande’s campesinos are unable to contest their evictions by establishing their long-term possession of the land. 

So, while neoliberal advocates of charter cities wring their hands over “weak institutions” and the need for “rule of law,” ZEDEs’ predatory promoters have in fact taken advantage of those weak institutions in order to loot the commons for their own ends. 

On top of that, while densely populated areas will be allowed to hold plebiscites as to whether or not to be incorporated into ZEDEs, sparsely populated areas like rural villages which border on ZEDEs will have no legal defense against being absorbed by them.

Another aspect of ZEDEs that doesn’t meet the smell test: Although Wolfe says the charter cities get to create “their” own civil codes, the actual “they” is the enterprises located in the zone; it’s “investors” who get to choose the legal system they’ll be subject to. Although the great majority of people living within these “charter cities” will be workers, the owners of enterprises — owners of capital — are the only sources of political authority governing the regulatory framework and civil law. 

So we’re talking about a “free market utopia” authorized by a right-wing coup regime, built on land stolen from peasants, with “property rights” created through robbery, and where the majority of the population lives under a system of laws which their employers had the only say in making. Now, that might sound like “economic freedom” to a Hoppean, or someone for whom Snow Crash sounds like an ideal world. But to the rest of us, it sounds like something else."
