what is your profession.png

Sup /his/.

I've been researching my family tree and I've come across one of my ancestors in an old Canadian census (circa 1850s). He lived on the east coast and owned about 40 acres of land.

His trade/profession/occupation is pic related.

I'm wondering if this is difficult for me to read because it is a deprecated profession or an archaic word.

Can anyone provide some context of the time period or perhaps read this cursive? This is the highest resolution scan of the document.

Dear /his/, wouldn't it have been wonderful if Stadtholder William III of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland and Overijssel, King of England, Ireland and Scotland and his wife, Mary II, had had children? The world would have seen an Anglo-Dutch empire capable of ruling Europe and the world as a whole better than the English could on their own. With the combined fleets of the Netherlands and Britain and the colonial ventures of both these superpowers there would not have been anything to stop the Anglo-Dutch Empire from ruling the world until eternity. The USA would, perhaps, not have left the Empire, and the control of the English Channel would've left France severely diminished. There is no way Napoleon could've gained so large an empire with the Anglo-Dutch standing in his way.

Why is this alternate history never discussed? It almost happened and would've been scary as all hell, yet everyone seems to have forgotten about it.

Cool story bro!

Yeah that would be neat.

Instead of Holland going into collapse during the 1700s (being pushed around by France, Prussia and Austria) they would have been like a Scotland or Wales but with a massive center of economic power.

tl;dr IRL Amsterdam lost money war to London
tl;dr ALT HIS Amsterdam becomes sister city and economic powerhouse along with London

At what points do the external or internal threats to a nation merit said nation abandoning concepts like liberty, due process, democracy etc?

Does only the threat of total annihilation qualify or do other, lesser threats merit softer dictatorships? What about economic threats? Can a looming depression/recession merit abandoning a democratic constitution?

>At what points do the external or internal threats to a nation merit said nation abandoning concepts like liberty, due process, democracy etc?
There is no point that should ever be a possibility. If there is an internal or external threat, you don't appease it and try to prevent it by giving more powers to surveillance agencies. You fight that threat. You bomb the shit out of them. You arrest them. You make them fear you more than you fear them.

>Does only the threat of total annihilation qualify or do other, lesser threats merit softer dictatorships? What about economic threats? Can a looming depression/recession merit abandoning a democratic constitution? Can a looming depression/recession merit abandoning a democratic constitution?

Nothing justifies shortening freedom, not even by half an inch. If a government is indeed democratic, then the people will never want to restrict their own freedoms. If politicians enact laws that restrict some freedoms, then it means there is a divide between politicians and the people. Politicians don't see the people as themselves, and the people don't see politicians as themselves. At that point, it means you've already been defeated by your greatest threat.

Vote Trump.
>>
>>1426832
Please mention one practical instance in which you believe restricting personal freedoms can help fighting one of those "threats". I'll start off by refuting the ideas you brought up.

>total annihilation
The closest we'll ever get to that is a MAD scenario. And I don't see how you're going to increase the effectiveness of the nuclear triad by telling media to shut up. Freedom of speech does not affect the trajectory of ICBMs in a nuclear war, so I don't see how that's relevant.

>looming depression/recession
It wasn't needed in 1929. In fact if you do some research you'll learn that all of FDR's Keynesianism wasn't needed, the economy was already recovering by itself at a decent pace. So not only you don't have to restrict political/social freedoms, but also, you can preserve economic ones.

You can't win the war if you lose the argument.

Or can you? America won the Cold War, but only by conceding the argument over whether strict top-down control was the best way to organize a state.

Have you ever watched a show that takes place in pre-bathroom era and wondered how bad people must have smelled ?
Like, they didn't have access to toothpaste nor deodorant.
Imagine trying to perform cunnilingus to a girl from those times.

No such thing. Without-Bathroom cultures makes more sense
