If you end up doing a big wedding I would recommend telling as many of the vendors and suppliers that it’s for a birthday party instead. It’ll still be expensive but should be more manageable
You would be surprised. Family friends of ours are Greek and rich, and they do not do anything small. I hate to perpetuate stereotypes but if you’ve seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding, it’s like that with them but for everything. Birthdays, the christian holidays, just a summer BBQ, all huge. The bride and groom on top yeah that’ll tip the baker off but that’s not hard to quickly put on yourself.
Just wait for the next stage as a libertarian socialist, without a leading communist party, because we can take care of us ourselves - it’s usually called anarchy (which doesn’t mean no social norms, just self-organisation without leadership)
I considered myself libsoc but not anarchist for a long time. Still kinda do. I believe in the ideal of a classless, oppressionless, non-hierarchical society, but I’m not out there living that ideal and doing praxis.
If all it takes to belong to any political movement is simply to claim you belong regardless of what your actions say, I don’t care for nor want your meaningless, substanceless labels. On the other hand, if it takes participation, then spending my time arguing online about whose fantasy football team political philosophy is better sure ain’t it either.
Either way, I’m probably just another lib with lofty aspirations. My best hope is that someone reads this, goes “you know what? That jaded shitlib has a motherfucking point!” And then logs out to go be an anarchist instead of just throwing the term around.
Fun fact I have seen both a story that someone in Romania was told they were legally dead dispite being to in the room to actively dispute the case. And a story from new Orleans where the morgue said they didn’t have someone that they had
It’s apparently very hard to solve such an issue since there’s no procedures in place for reversing a death certificate. Wonder what the implications for the legally-undead person were, like when they actually kick the bucket, will they cause another issue with the inability of the system to have somebody dead twice? Did the initial “death” trigger any inheritance laws and other such things, I wonder?
edit: Is that person legally stateless now so able to claim citizenship from states that offer such to stateless people?
800 years ago: Them: Do you confirm you are Dracula? Dracula: Yes. Here is my ID. Them: Says here you are dead. D: Umm. I am not. Th: And you murdered 10,000 people. D: Whuu…I what? And how many? Th: And impaled them on the highway between your castle and the enemy camp? D: Enemy? Castle? I live in a village by the lake…wait. Impaled? Are you mental? Th: Also, you drink the blood of your enemies. Out of a cup made from the freshly severed head of an enemy courier… D: wft? Who are you people? My vegetarian stomach wants to evacuate. The rest of me, too.
The inspiration for these memes was simple: Nazis don’t deserve Saint Dale.
“The idea for the page came about back in early 2017 when the alt-right were trying to make anything they could into a racist meme, including cow’s milk,” said the person behind The Ghost of Ol Dale Earnhardt, who asked to remain anonymous. “I was pretty heavily involved in the Weird Appalachia Facebook group, where Sid Hatfield and Dolly Parton are patron saints of Cornbread Communism, and a huge fan of the Old Stone Cold page. Everything sorta clicked so I decided to combine all these influences and claim Dale as a meme for the rural southern Left, which at the time was mostly either ignored or laughed at.”
