@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social None of us are responsible for what our ancestors did, unless we like what they did. These type of insults hinder the conversation, degrade it. We see this in the States with slavery in a country created based on equal rights-haha. A big can of worms. So please stop with this kind of attack unless you really don’t want to discuss it and stay civil. 🤔
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Read up on The Great Filter, it’s likely our species won’t be able to navigate it, in essence destroy ourselves. Global warming is one of the shots across our bow. Then you just might see the desired anarchy except it will likely be a pretty shitty place to exist for as long as you are alive to enjoy it. https://www.astronomy.com/science/the-great-filter-a-possible-solution-to-the-fermi-paradox/
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Pragmatically in a democracy you vote for the best option. There is zero guarantee that experiencing a breakdown will put you in a better place. Right now there is a significant group fighting for Trans Rights. To me Democrats sound like your best bet. All bets are off in a wholesale revolution. 🤔
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social …and PS all the problems will be the same, deciding the best way to solve problems, finding honest leadership, agreement in the community, and generally speaking finding people willing to share, be fair, and not stab you the back. 🤔
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social I’m not hostile to your opinion, enjoy the discussion. 🙂 Watch one of many post-apocalyptic stories like The Post Man or the Book of Eli. There maybe great communities, but they will be countered by bad communities, inevitable war lords who seize power, have a large band of militant followers who seek to expand their power and control. What the average citizen gets is pot luck.
@mloxton@med-mastodon.com @SocialistStan@mymastadon.link @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Agreed, look at the COVID response, just ignore #LittleDonny’s head in the sand denials, while being first in line to be treated… (that guy is a sad train wreck), we needed a big govt response and we got one.
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social I don’t know where you live , but imo the best chance to beat something like Global Warming is to be organized. However, I think we’ll witness via AI and automation, the unraveling of Capitalism, just hope this is an orderly transition towards socialism, or it maybe a full blown breakdown, with the anarchy some of the participants hope for, just hope it’s not a bloody change. 🤔
@EmbraceBecoming@kolektiva.social @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @SocialistStan@mymastadon.link @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social it would be better imo to discuss any modern non-state societies, and why none exist. And if that is desired, how would we ever get there and how could it be better? Look at our impact on the environment, with a non-state organization, what chance would there be of ever getting us all on the same page as far as saving ourselves monumental environmental grief? 🤔
@SocialistStan@mymastadon.link @mloxton@med-mastodon.com @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social You don’t live in a vacuum. If you have millions of people living together and you hope to get any big things accomplished, like infrastructure, there has to be a level of organization supported by democracy, with an agreed to pay structure. You can either agree to participate or instead maybe wait for the local War Lord’s thugs to appear on your doorstep and dictate, to include dating your daughter.
@mloxton@med-mastodon.com @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Agreed, democracy is the best we can hope for and the flaws are human flaws. If you had asked me before 2015 I would have never guessed there were millions happy to subvert a democracy where they don’t always get their way, in many cases to be bigots, white supremest, white privileged, ignorant, or Corpo- bandits, closed minded Christian’s looking to chuck the Constitution and force people into their moral straight jackets. 🤔
@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social is that why “Anar” is in your handle? 🙂 I’ve never been sold on anarchy, what I think you’ll likely end up with is consolidation of power and regional warlords, maybe some serfdom thrown in. 🤔 This is not to say I dismiss your posts.😁 But democracy as flawed as it here, better say corrupt as it here, is a characteristic of humanity.
