RE: [Redbadbear] Black Out

["Jurriaan Bendien" <bendien@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[sic.] ... It is never manly to be altruistic in general, a man can be
altruistic only under certain circumstances. These circumstances are defined
by the party, or by christian ethics, or by possession of resources to be
altruistic with. Altruism moreover has a gender dimension, hence the
reference to "Kirche, Kuche, Kinder". Certain altruisms are signs of
weakness, male weakness or female weakness. But the party must be strong.
Expressions of altruism can also have an ethnic dimension. If you get it
wrong, that could be lethal. Solidarity is allowed to be formed ONLY on the
basis of common ruin, or a common external enemy. Any other solidarity
interferes with property rights, which is criminal.
