And to think I saw this picture for the first time because she wants us to stop talking about it

Honestly it helps me understand what kind of peace you are talking about. Property is a very personal thing for people because of the lack of peace. But consider me awake and listening. Any book or media recommendations?

You talk of peace but leave out justice because violence is how laws are enforced. Wake me up when you start preaching that private property is violence because until then this is just hypocrisy.

You make it sound like democracy is a linear phenomena. There are likely tradeoffs

Clinton was notorious for polling people and changing positions, but that was not by referendum. Sometimes our pundits play loose with words and pretend polling is a referendum because we don’t actually have referendums. See also “democratizing” when it just means “commodotizing”

Indeed. Democracy does not exclude anarchy and in the case of the UN it’s a voluntary union, each member is free to not participate and ignore the decisions made by rest of the union. People often criticize the UN as having little authority - that’s because it’s anarchistic in nature.

If there is a point to my example it is that society is a patchwork of ideologies, there is no “pure capitalist” society just as there is no “pure anarchistic” society. So to say one ideology does not work as totalitarian society is different then saying it does not work at all.

I mean we have the UN which doesn’t have any one nation in charge. Geopolitics tends to be anarchistic.

I think liberals doing trust exercises with marxists and others from different political leanings is the effective part.

If you’re writing off all liberals then your view makes sense. At our no kings the Brown Berets showed up to protect those you are spurning. Many years ago I attended a UFW march that was also protected by the Brown Berets and it shocked an out of town liberal white woman who compared the union march to the Nazis. These people tend to only see aesthetics so the march is a good opportunity to make unusual alliances. That’s the concrete achievement of my local Marxist-lennist org, but that probably doesn’t make sense to the terminally online.

What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no “spare” energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.

We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn’t make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.

Person unaffected by past bad decisions doesn’t see how that’s a problem.

This is why we should lock down the OS to prevent people from creating databases of people. There are so many applications out there asking for people’s DOB and that’s because we let people just install whatever app they want. There’s absolutely no positive use case for that.

A bike adds to the fun of dodging a giant laser by dashing from one shade island to another.

To be clear, the punishment wasn’t him loosing 2B, he wouldn’t even notice the difference. The punishment was being told he was wrong by a jury of his “peers”.

Yes, so you should ask for a big discount.

The best is yet to come!

Or dispose of evidence.

And RoundUp!

Free speech is when AIPAC channels unlimited dark money to influencers to disparage anti-zionist candidates like they did in Kat Abu’s race. Free is quickly becoming worthless.
