@spoons@kolektiva.social @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social The human species is just muddling along to our demise. Climate change is a serious threat, along with food disruption. Collectively despite being warned for 40 freaking years, we are not doing enough because “it costs too much”. Most of us are sheep, the Capitalists are harvesting all the wealth they can, “let’s worry about this tomorrow” is the motto. The smart ones spoke out but were ignored as we role towards the edge. Questions? 🤔
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Liberal war crimes?. Thanks for the discussion. It’s liberals that are fighting for Trans rights. Conservatives want to lock you away. Take care.
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social With vaccines it has been proven that to be effective the herd must be vaccinated. With COVID, THE ANTI-vaccers prolonged the crisis.
@mloxton @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social And more and more metric is showing up in the grocery store..
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social I have yet to see a single argument why anarchy is superior for groups of people, or individuals en mass.
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Is this your argument why anarchy is better?
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Human beings by nature are tribal. Not sure if you are addressing me, but if you are, I’m not swooning over Capitalism . I’m critical of C. I’m just telling you how I see things regarding anarchy, which you disagree with. I’ll propose that if anarchy was most closely aligned with the nature of humans, we would see anarchy as the standard, but it’s not a standard widely practised.
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social There will be no voluntary change to anarchy, because it means significant economic disruption. Therefore to achieve anarchy requires a breakdown, an event that will be accompanied by death, a lot of death as new norms and power centers are established or resisted. This would not be a peaceful process not as I imagine it. Feel free to disagree. 🙃
@mloxton @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social I’ll check back in later and see if @Azazel is in the mood to talk about this without losing his/her cool. In my view getting to anarchy means huge numbers of deaths and no guarantee after the dust settles my life would be any better, that is if I’m still alive. 🙃
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social As I said, I’m open to alternatives, but imo it is completely naive to think that anarchy will be a better deal for you. Ok, I get you are willing to take the chance. I just think the odds of getting there, living, and ending up in a better place is not by any means assured.
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Not directed at me, but I grew up benefitting from Capitalism, but recognize it flaws, shortcomings, I speak against it, am open to viable alternatives, and I don’t think it can or will survive into the future. 🤔
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @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 @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social That is your opinion. Ok so who is your best friend that’s going to ensure you get the equal rights you deserve to have?
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @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 @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. 🤔
@mloxton Cult leaders, glorified dictators. Just picture how the MAGA cult will function if given free reign to shred the Constitution. “All rise and bow for the Emperor and send over you’re oldest daughter to entertain him”…🫣
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton @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 @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 @EmbraceBecoming@kolektiva.social @SocialistStan@mymastadon.link @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social But those organizations if allowed would expand and oppress to function like States, look at the Taliban. 🤔
