Are you a nazi dude? You are defending the Freikorps. They went to do their own coup in 1920 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapp_Putsch), and failed. And most of those Freikorps went to help in the rise of Hitler and the Nazis to power.
If the Rosa Spartacist had won, the Nazis would't had come to power.
Are you truly defending far-right fascists?
Just lol. Lmao even.

I can't take anyone saying quirky platitudes seriously if they have a pfp like that. Immediate no.

She was a barbarian.
Those who seek to seize power without the consent of the governed are nothing more than thugs. The Freikorps were entirely justified in putting her ambitions to rest.

Rosa said: "socialism or barbarism". The barbarians killed her and her people. Then, the barbarians went and stablished the Nazi Regime. The rest is history. Barbarian history.
So, she was right. The answer was (still is) socialism.

So by your own admission, they didn't start the war. Great.
> Wilhelm II is mass murderer. Getting rid of him and his monarchy justifies almost any action of anyone in this period of time. They slaugthered the right pig.
Proceeds to glorify the system that directly resulted in Nazi Germany. Because apparently replacing the Kaiser and reducing the role to a purely ceremonial one is worse than giving a president completely unchecked power.

Way too much information. As a culture we really need to stop trying to cram so much information into our messages, especially when it's missing so much context. I can tell you for a fact that the way this information is being presented has potential to ruin at least one person's life. Sorry if this comes off harsh, but I need you to understand that if you don't know or can't figure out how this might ruin someone's life, then you are not qualified to present advice of this nature. That may be hard for you to believe since you can't see that so I'm hoping you are receptive to the fact what you are presenting here contains information that NEEDS further explanation. For example you present the advice "let go of what people think". Why? When? How? If that's not interesting to you, then pick ONE of these pieces of advice and expand on it. Again, I hope my tone isn't too harsh, but I'm triggered by this. For reasons I hope I don't to need to explain.

In two years I went from well below the poverty line and having to choose between food, rent and utilities, to middle class with a home of my own.
Then inflation hit. And I pray to the gods every damn day to keep an eye on the ones still stuck in the circumstances I was in.

Should give her a read sometime, her writings, advocacy, and critiques are still incredibly impactful & insightful to this day :)

Good for her! Perhaps we shouldn't let dogmatic preconceived notions about an ideology blind us from what the person materially advocated for. Should read some more of her stuff, might be surprised at how much it resonates.

The German Monarchy literally declared war on France an Russia and attacked neutral Belgium and Luxemburg ans went on to invade France. Nobody forced Germany into war and since Austria was the attacker against Serbia, Germany (like Italy) wasn't even bound to fight on Austria's side by their defense contract.
Germany was literally the state that forced half of Europe into war.
Wilhelm II is mass murderer. Getting rid of him and his monarchy justifies almost any action of anyone in this period of time. They slaugthered the right pig.

Yah know the Greeks wrote endless stories on why this was bad most of which involved picking fights with the gods ie. Beings against whom they had no hope of prevailing, and suffering the predictably horrible consequences.
Confidence isn’t the same thing as arrogance. The latter is delusion that blinds you to your own flaws until it’s too late to avoid catastrophe.
This isn’t building a foundation on sand, it’s building it on dynamite then taking up fire performing as a hobby.

The german monarchy didn't cause the first world war. Also it's abolition is why they ended up with a braindead constitution. Destabilising the country, getting Article 48 anywhere near the constitution and creating a massive power vaccum on the political right was completely disasterous. She deserves nothing but derision.

6 years ago I thought I'd at least have dated once, and I was even pretty optimistic about it back then.

She was shot by paramilitairs, not hanged.
She and the KPD played a major role in getting rid of the German monarchy, that killed millions in a senseless war. SPD or KPD, they should all be considered heroes and founders of the German Republic.

Reply to comment by Life_Student574 in The difference between professionals and amateurs [Discussion] by TreatThompson
Professionals were once amateurs that didn’t get paid.
I think the OP is driving this exact point. “Pros get paid,” is EXACTLY what a quitting-amateur sounds like. Doing the work consistently when the reward is far is what makes you a pro. Amateurs tend to not see so far ahead so skipping or quitting seems like the reasonable thing to do.
