another node.

I was also thinking more generally. E.g if I was a weak person and teacher in same situation. I mean of course it’s best to not be weak - but there will be situations where one is not the stronger person.

Today was a good day!

We got a lot of new snow overnight, and I was on duty at school today, responsible for keeping the schoolyard tidy during break time.

According to the school rules, throwing snowballs is not allowed.

I think we can all agree that this is a stupid rule! However, to avoid any problems with the school board, I did my job and tried to prevent any snowball fights.

The area of the schoolyard that I had to oversee and ensure order was the one for the 9th and 10th graders. They are between 15 and 17 years old on average.

When I went outside at the start of the break, I saw the alpha male of the 10th graders, who was already preparing the first snowball. I told him, 'Don't touch the snow or you'll face the consequences.' His best friend jumped to his defence, replying, 'You won't be able to stop a snowball fight with so many students. You won't be able to enforce the rules. What will you even do?'

I had no idea what to threaten them with, and sadly my first thought was, 'You'll eat snow if you dare!'

That was definitely the wrong answer. A third guy tested my authority by throwing a snowball right at me and hitting me.

I only had a split second to react.

What would you do? Be a wimp and take them to see the headteacher?

Can't I solve my own problems?

What about my threat?

Are my words meaningless?

I jumped straight at the guy, tackled him to the ground and made him eat snow!

To my surprise, the other two guys came to his assistance.

So there I was, fighting three young men full of testosterone all on my own.

AND I WON!

They ate snow! A ton of it!

I felt so awesome! I won against three of them. My authority remained intact; no one dared throw a snowball for fear of the consequences.

I am still the man who creates order and has authority, and I earned it! I earned it through hard work!

I meant my words!

Was this in the interest of the school? Definitely not!

Will I get in trouble? Probably!

Did the kids respect me and love my behavior? Absolutely!

I was someone they could look up to. I was a man of my word and someone who shows proof of work.

What are your thoughts on this? What have you accomplished today?

And what would you have done, if the possibility of you being able to physically control them would be low?

Imagine you ate snow, how to recover from that?

Glad it worked out for you!

Which privacy score you are using normally? f.e. Last time when I used “maximize” privacy the value was 37. In this post you say 50 is sufficient for a forensic analysis, so the default from Wasabi was lower…

“It is to be pointed out, however, that protectionism, socialism, and communism are basically the same plant in three different stages of its growth.”

“[Law] has acted in direct opposition to its proper end; it has destroyed its own object; it has been employed in annihilating that justice which it ought to have established, (…) it has converted plunder into a right, that it may protect it, and lawful defense into a crime, that it may punish it.”

Ich bin kein Lehrer. Aber würde frech behaupten, dass die allgemeine Anreizstruktur an öffentlichen Schulen (Verbeamtung und fehlender Wettbewerber) und die Tendenz der individuellen Bequemlichkeit (die vielleicht bei Lehrern überdurchschnittlich hoch ist?!) als auch das allgemeine etatistische Mindset der Eltern die überwiegende Ursachen sein könnten :D

“Under customary law, individuals had reciprocal incentives to recognize their rules of obligation and to participate in enforcement of such rules. The adversarial nature of authoritarian law that pits group against group in the taking/transfer process promotes disorder rather than order. Indeed, under government law, individuals have incentives not to participate in a cooperative effort to maintain order.”

#GM Spontaneous Order or Imposed Order?

Only the sick eye constantly turns toward the self; the healthy eye looks outward, toward the world and toward others.

Inwiefern ist sein Ziel Umverteilung?

Er hat sicher weniger Steuern gezahlt als du und somit das sozialistische System weniger gestützt. Man kann auch für soziale Gerechtigkeit oder Nachhaltigkeit stehen und dabei an das Individuum statt an politische Mittel appellieren…

#GM Mitbestimmung ist nicht Selbstbestimmung!

Weaker men are more likely to be in favour of anarchism. The strong on the other hand, who in their cavemen past had no problems controlling both weaker men and resources they had no intention of liberty, are far less likely to see the virtue of non-aggressive natural law.

“Thus, the State is a coercive criminal organization that subsists by a regularized large-scale system of taxation-theft, and which gets away with it by engineering the support of the majority (not, again, of everyone) through securing an alliance with a group of opinion-moulding intellectuals whom it rewards with a share in its power and pelf.”
