smoke 'em if you got 'em

This sounds amazing. One mode you can be a cat stuck in a house with 3 other cats that don’t get along. You have to try to drop a deuce without getting attacked, you have to mark territory without making your “owner” upset about peeing in the house.

I think this is where “compartmentalization” comes in. Similar in concept to how you are forced to wall off sadness when a loved one dies so that you can continue to live your life, I think there are mentally competent right wingers, but they wall off the logic and reasoning so that it applies only to machines. They do this because if those ideas of logic and reason get beyond the wall/outside of the compartment, the meaning of their lives falls apart.

Thank you!

Have to pay extra now to pump septic waste straight into other rooms.

haha that’s a good one

I agree, while I’m full anarcho-communist I don’t think we can get there directly from here. I support unions and vote for Biden while I hold my nose.

If the state were to suddenly disappear, yes, I’d agree with you. Humans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, most of that without a state, and with many groups living in what were likely arguably something like anarcho-communist societies (check out The Dawn Of Everything from David Graeber). Warlords are a symptom of a power vacuum.

I would take significant cultural change, the kind of change capitalists will do their damnedest to prevent. People have to first believe a world not based on mutual exploitation is even possible.

I ate lunch and my cat pooped, anyone else want to mention two random events?

I love this quote

Everyone that argues against anarchist positions immediately goes to the parent/child relationship. For sake of argument, let’s ignore this one (out of millions) specific situation biologically imposed on us. Now does the statement seem to be more true?

Of course I don’t expect you to agree if your not anarchist, I didn’t post this (or event this rebuttal really) to change your mind, I posted it to plant seeds and make people wonder.

Nobody wants a war? A good 15% of the US population is seething to use their guns against gays or liberals.

Splitting us up is the goal, divide and conquer. It’s one thing to hate your queer neighbor, it’s so much worse when you can point to another geographic region of “queers coming to harm your children” that military force can be used against. The separation is for two reasons, one is to help hold on to senate power by getting blue voters out to make sure red states don’t turn blue or purple, the other I think is to prepare for war and make war more likely, separating the sides. Civil war is hard when everyone is mixed up.

We’ve seen what "conservatives’ do when they have power, they literally owned other humans, chattel slavery. We’ve seen what the goals of the military industrial complex (arguably the most powerful industry), more war,everywhere. Giving these groups the benefit of the doubt is dumb and will lead to real bad things.

A blockchain with an appropriate consensus protocol is like implementing a globally shared spreadsheet where nobody can alter history.

The types of things a decentralized globally shared spreadsheet that can be trusted allow are amazing and it’s up to us how we use this potentially world changing tool. But like any tool, including the dollar, it’s also useful to those with malicious intention.

It’s still the early days for this technology.

What I find odd is that people expect a tool as powerful as blockchain to be somehow without crime and all the bad stuff that plagues everything else in life.

Awesome! I’ve been trying myself, I know what an accomplishment this is!
