So far as it represents human toil, yeah, it’s good. It’s not that anymore, though.

I’m a voluntarist and think the federation model is an interesting stepping stone to better systems that would enable either direct democracy or polycentric law.

Only over 40, and this isn’t age it’s their birthday.

I mean, yeah. My rid/nfc emu chips are passive, tho.

Nah. These people balk at me wanting an rfid emu chip in my hand.

Turkey has slightly more Jews than the Arab world combined, but the total between them all is only around 30k. Can’t be anti-semitic if you’ve got no Jews to hate.

I was taking liberties to sound clever.

The rest of the Arab world has less than 15,000 Jews lol. Israel is just the only country that hasn’t finished their ethnostate.

And the real life results of that are awesome.

I expected it to be a fighting game tbh

You can’t expect them to. They got lost for 40 years the last time they tried.

I was just thinking it’s similar to how Jews try to trick god. At least I’m not the only one.

Okay but they have the means of survival right now. Not seizing them means people will die while you develop your own.

When I help my sister pay her rent a small business owner isn’t being evicted. Economics aren’t zero sum.

Also, while developing your own, the movement is vulnerable to getting crushed by them. They historically haven’t had any compunctions with killing millions to protect themselves from communism.

I think ideas like collective ownership and mutual aid have power without challenging the ruling class. Instead we beg daddy to give us more rations.

How though? Do you think the capitalist state is going to just let you mess with its bosses?

I don’t really have all the answers. I know what I consider ethical and try to work within that, but I’m no genius. I know it’s easy to say your answer is violence and we’ll sort it out later, but there’re a lot of missing steps there. I don’t think there’s a lot of difference between the class consciousness necessary to achieve a gradualist result vs revolution. Gradualism has time to show people the benefit without lining them up against the wall, tho.

We also live in a world that has a habit of fucking up collectivism. Trade is technology and in a free society we can test the tech and find what works instead of fucking shit up with bullets and famine.

They don’t have to submit? We do things the right way and don’t deal with those cunts. As a gradualist, though, I think we can build up our communities while removing the regulations that enable corporations to operate the way they do while staying profitable.

I meant that freedom of the press shouldn’t be limited to just people that work for CNN or whatever. I don’t think they’re separate rights. I didn’t mean to say they’re appropriately implemented.

Theft of small amounts of food isn’t really something I care about. I’m not a fan of police or jails/prisons. We can handle these sorts of crimes more ethically. Robberies are a bit different. If you’re someone that visits San Francisco to bip cars then goes back home, you could prolly use a good kick or two if you’re caught by your intended victim.

Regardless, I think we, as a society, should be there with the bread. It shouldn’t be an issue we have to face.

I consider freedom of the press to just be freedom of speech, which we all have.

As for the homeless chap, it depends on their situation. I’d live in a community that would try to help them. I think we’re ethically obligated to help people in need as best we can, but I’m not comfortable using violence to force you to help them.

Ghosts Again - Depeche Mode

Our corporate structures and limited liability not only make these massive orgs possible, but incentivize some truly insane megacorps.

That’s any service where the service provider has the customer over a barrel.

You don’t need private prisons for that. 90% of prisons are government run, and police unions have been lobbying for decades to keep shit illegal.
