  1. Well of course the descendants from the House of Saxe Coburg Gotha (aka Windsor) are indeed Germans.

    Ja, ja, ja, vee are all “good Germans” now… 🙂

    und Bitte, nobody vill mention ze war, it vas just a family misunderstanding!

    Vee should haf all played FuĂźball at Weihnachten…

    On December 7, 1914, Pope Benedict XV suggested a temporary hiatus of the war for the celebration of Christmas. The warring countries refused to create any official cease-fire, but on Christmas the soldiers in the trenches declared their own unofficial truce.

    What Happened During the Christmas Truce of 1914?
    Starting on Christmas Eve, many German and British troops fighting in World War I sang Christmas carols to each other across the lines, and at certain points the Allied soldiers even heard brass bands joining the Germans in their joyous singing.

    At the first light of dawn on Christmas Day, some German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allied lines across no-man’s-land, calling out “Merry Christmas” in their enemies’ native tongues. At first, the Allied soldiers feared it was a trick, but seeing the Germans unarmed they climbed out of their trenches and shook hands with the enemy soldiers. The men exchanged presents of cigarettes and plum puddings and sang carols and songs. Some Germans lit Christmas trees around their trenches, and there was even a documented case of soldiers from opposing sides playing a good-natured game of soccer.

    Und zen ze vill all be home by Christmas! Nicht war?

    Cheers

  2. The New Authoritarian Left … of course they’ve declared themselves “good people”. Perfect chart … except in the lower right hand corner should be “Extreme Right”

      1. It is impossible to have any form of socialism that adheres to the Non Aggression Principle.
        I’ve brought this up with many so called social libertarians, and they generally respond with “The NAP is not enough”, which is a tacit admission that they don’t care about using force on people to enforce their ideology, ie not libertarians.

        1. “It is impossible to have any form of socialism that adheres to the Non Aggression Principle.”

          “Left,” as it was coined, means “republican,” as opposed to “monarchist.”
          Like so many other terms, it has been co-opted and redefined by the socialists.

          1. Agreed.
            Now I say left=more gov’t, and right=less gov’t.
            I want less gov’t, ergo I’m on the right.

          2. “Now I say left=more gov’t, and right=less gov’t.”

            Anarchy is the least government, since no one is in it, and “of by and for the people” is the most, since everyone is.

            Absolute dictatorship is the smallest form of government that actually has someone in it.

          3. A militia is not a government.
            One can have an anarchy and a militia, and police, at the same time.
            Ask the founders.

            Nice try, though.

          4. “Absolute dictatorship is the smallest form of government that actually has someone in it.”

            That’s a pretty dumb thing to say, unless you’re talking about a theocracy with a population of the faithful, which would still need a bunch of troops, just in case.
            Live in the world, not in some Platonic Idealization of it, my man.

      2. Gillespie is a master of snark and comes across in similar manner to UnMe. He doesn’t exactly bring in the masses. I stopped subscribing to reason when he took over. The only way one could be considered a left libertarian IMHO would be in the advocacy of voluntary communal arrangements such as a consenting adult choosing to be part of a collective or commune that allows freely chosen exit from such arrangements. Libertarianism does attract an assortment of individuals and some could be considered “out there”.

  4. Nice graph, but not shown to scale. In reality you need a magnifying glass to see the green “good person” part.

  6. No one commented on the Prince Charles one. I find it hilarious, perhaps because I was doing a lot of interviewing in September. Tech recruiters … don’t get me started!!! (Find a good one and never let go of them!)

    1. The King Charles meme is a perfect comment on the agonizing slowness of the Canadian Armed Forces recruiting process. And it’s not new. Was the same 20 yrs ago.

    2. I always thought Charles would do the right thing, and pass the crown to his better suited eldest son. After all … anyone who writes to his mistress claiming he wants to become a tampon so he can be closer to her … isn’t quite “King” material. Well, except in the days when the King beheaded wives who displeased him … Hopefully we’re past those days and the tampon business days …

      1. Personally, I don’t care about his personal life. His being an enviro-scold, telling us peons that we need to cut back, while he jet-sets all over the planet to his multiple homes is what puts me off.
        Just like I liked Rob Ford, the late mayor of Toronto, despite the fact that he smoked crack.
        There is policy, and there is personal life.
        I’d vote for a tranny if I thought it was gonna recognize property and gun rights here in Canada, although that scenario is extremely unlikely.

        1. I’m profoundly uninterested in people’s “private” lives, yet KC is, by definition. A public person who should understand his “private” communications may not be quite so private. But I also suggest that people who are TRUE BELIEVERS in Global Warming … and scold all the proles to live like it’s 1599 … are creeps … with creepy proclivities. KC is a Creepster of the first degree.

          1. I DON’T CARE!
            They called Trump “unpresidential”, etc. One would have thought that the American right would have learned something from that BS.
            Policy is policy.
            I don’t care if the guy is a freakin’ furry, if his policy meets my approval, and I think he’ll put forth at least some minimal effort to implement it, then he’s got my vote. Period.

  7. chuckles has been waiting a lot longer than that. since 1953 . and still seems to be charles the unready ,

    charles has been sort of a bad luck king name . one of them left considerably shorter than when he started. and wasnt tall to start with
