"Pure" in the sense of "maximum". "A life lived to the max" would be a long but accurate translation. I remember when this first became a meme here and people kept making up all these silly New Wave interpretations of the adjective as saintly and puritanical. So fucking annoying. In the correct cultural context I would even say it's rather the opposite, an appellation to a very physical and sensual joy. View quoted note →

Just think about this case. I have zero idea of the details about this person. Let's assume he is "rich". Let's say, he's got assets worth 50 million euros. Let's say the kidnappers demanded 10,000 BTC from him. 10 million. How much does the State demand from him *every day and every year*? What happens to him if he refuses to pay? What happens to his assets? As I said, do not fall for the propaganda. The GIGN did not "rescue" him. They retrieved property, like the cattle slave masters in the cotton farms would retrieve a slave taken by another slave master, by force if necessary. View quoted note →

The fact of the matter though is that the criminal group that does the highest number of violent kidnappings, against we should all be the most concerned to get protection from, is the State. It's also the one with access to the most dangerous and powerful technology, and completely ruthless in using it against us. Do not get distracted with the anecdotal cases of non-State attacks.

This meme misses the other half: just by virtue of existing on a territory, under the jurisdiction of a State, you already "owe" a monetary "debt" to it. It's called "taxes". The modern socialist-fascist Corporate State regime prevalent in the West since the beginning of the 20th century did not do away with cattle slavery. It universalized it so it could be spread among the whole population and suppress the glaring difference between an explicitly enslaved underclass, and the non-slaves. When everybody is a slave, nobody is. View quoted note →
