    Didn't you read the shrink bibles? Normed insanity gets a pass. The queers those wackos smear though have "social disorders". (Ironic, queers were written out, so no more lobotomies for them.) This's literally written in the details of either bible from either side of the pond. What's not written is that shrinks are functionally politician-priests now and act as such. Circularly "legitimate" authoritay+circularly moralized (pseudo)"scientific" righteousness=(as "spiritual fitness"/"positive psychology"/snake oil saleman Seligman put it)"rockstar" with "fame and money".

    Consider what most soldiers actually consider "freedom" too. Most weren't fighting for many rights at all, but the expectation of denying them. They were fighting for their own myopic rights to authoritarianism. Only a tiny minority throughout history ever believed in freedom of speech, for instance. Most believe in enforcing sexism (mostly for women, ironically) and general religious or quasi-religious "tradition" based privileges.

    Then there's insisting on innocence, on the explicit grounds they got paid to do whatever shit they did. No sense of irony there at all. The Nuremberg defense was always very popular in the US among the government's proud attack dogs, on and off their pissing grounds, which they even expanded. Remember the colonies that didn't want anything to do with the Feds to begin with? The Army took care of that and the following rebellions of the unwilling citizenry. Know how we "liberated" Hawaii from its population? That's obviously leaving out the tradition of the Army vs the continental natives...and even white pioneers they pretended to be "civilizing" the property of(f).

    And if what they're saying is so trivial it should be ignored, possibly by everyone present? "Politeness" as is is just politics. Your example would immediately fall into a blatantly obvious catch22, which figures since it's a game for sleaze. Stop pretending most of this shit, present or past, was ever anything else. "Professional", likewise, is almost always just a thought terminating cliche to cover sleaze making threats while babbling psychotically.

    Your average grunt is an sniveling idiot, which is easily verifiable by most any poll on anything. In a mob, they can beat their collective chests and ironically bray about their superiority, but they can't plan, build, or run a business. They just run through the paces of whatever function they were trained for, usually ditching that if someone's not monitoring, which they'll bitch about either way; then, they claim they're owed the whole fucking company, which they don't even comprehend. Funny who's claiming entitlement here. Your preaching sanctomonious envy, clearly with the intent of eventual pretense of righteous force.

    Removing corruption would be one thing, but you just want coercision that profits you, while hiding behind reifications. You probably don't even comprehend that though.

    That last was a bit ambiguous. What's social norms have to directly do with this? Seeking personal approval from others? Normalizing your pseudo-legacy unit's programming? To be kind-ish, I could guess informing the child's expectation of others' probable notions of normality, though that wouldn't necessarily suggest direct immersion, anymore than promoting the child's involvement with hookup culture (at some presumed "right" age at least) or the like.

    Circular argument and intentional selection bias. "Success" there requires constant redefinition to fit whatever the fuck happens. It's both a no true Scotsman fallacy and changing the goalposts. When the "positive" wacko misses something, he pulls a doublethink and redefines his supposed values such that his altered goals arbitrarily fit whatever he happen to hit, so he "succeeded" to hit his completely redefined target. Being unhappy because you're not mindfucked into wanting whatever garbage you're stuck with isn't "no good purpose". Just because your values are lies your constantly rewrite to fit arbitrary conditions doesn't make everyone else's values as utterly meaningless as yours are. Some of us actually value what we value.

    Banning religion, sure. Loyalty to the State has nothing to do with atheism. That's pretty fucking religious actually. Self-appointed "priesthood of Man" and all that quasi-religious "humanism"/"progressivist" dogma...

    Ironically, insufficiently popular religions or dominations are called cults. The theists already "deprogram" them unconstitutionally, currently under the aegis of the APA's politically-based pathologizing, and the feds raid them, even without significant legal violations to justify the disturbingly brutal force. Atheism would at least have apolitical psychology on its side since schizophrenia only explicitly excludes popular religious shit currently due to politics.

    Private ownership refers to a general right of any given individual. This is rather counter to stealing, much less enslavement, both being clear violations of ownership. Bloody feudalism was capitalism by your strawman, which is contrary to what the word was explicitly coined to contrast to.
    You're also describing nothing less than corporations with your weaseling cooperation=socialism equivocations. Pretty fucking sure your mill's shareholders were seeking to profit from their incorporation.
    Your "property-less" union is a sham. You'd have to enforce it thus, under pretense of "no property" stealing everything from everyone, including enslaving everyone under that pretenses of "union" and "society", then profiting whatever internal bloc gains hegemony under pretense of "greater good" or even "equality". "Freedom is slavery." and all that. Collectivism explicitly doesn't abide dissent. Anyone not obeying is "stealing" from "society".

    Socialism is authoritarian. It claims all property for a bureaucracy, which incidentally makes you state property. It's outright slavery. To acquire anything is solely up to the State's allowance and to "own" anything requires the State's perpetual permission. You live and die by fiat in the name of a reification you're explicitly wholly subordinated to.
