Amazing! Where did I sign up? View quoted note →

Isn't it time that more people came to the realisation that a uniform does not impart authority? We will surely continue as a whole to be willingly subjugated by glorified school prefects if we don't all wake up. Civil servants who refer to themselves as authorities invariably do so from within a uniform adorned with badges and bling. And furthermore, they invariably believe that their attire somehow earns them respect from those who wear normal clothes like normal people. Those who prance around in their garb, with expensive tax funded toys, and who call themselves soldiers or marines or some such silly title, are selected for one primary attribute. They are puerile and incapable of independent thought. They follow orders, and they presume that that is how everyone should live - subjugated by authority. There is no glory in being a pawn in the defense of a feudal power. To be a Marine or a member of some such band of silly uniformed order takers does not make you special in any way other than the way in which we speak of special needs children. Don't be a prick. Grow up.

Ah shit... I'm just going to move my coins back to an exchange, where they're safe.
