Notes to editors

Limited exceptions to the ban may be required for safety or restoration purposes. An exemption is also anticipated to protect the historic rights of freeminers to mine personal gales in the Forest of Dean.

The government has laid a Written Ministerial Statement confirming that it will introduce legislation to restrict the future licensing of new coal mines, by amending the Coal Industry Act 1994, when Parliamentary time allows.

It was manufactured by the Americans, put into space by the Americans, controlled by the Americans until they handed over control to the RAF, and was stated in the article to be "dual control". It was clearly the Americans.

Why is an event that happened in the 1970s getting an article now?

That's how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

Anarchy means without hierarchy. That's it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn't one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they're agreed upon by consensus.

Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. "I'm bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I'll make you do as I wish" isn't a part of anarchist theory.

Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.

"At least he is more civilised"

To me, that makes him scarier. He can keep a mask on while stabbing you in the back. Trump, at least, is pretty open with who and what he is.

Hindenburg and others thought Hitler wasn't scary at first. They thought they could control him. Look how that turned out. Civilised doesn't mean moral. It doesn't mean he'll do right for the county and people. It just means he knows his airs and graces when they're needed.

As Backlog said, there's no such thing as a good (or civilised even) Nazi.

Paywalled and the archive link doesn't seem to load. Does anyone have a copy of the article?
