I really need to stop trying to engage with these folks.

“I refuse to ever follow orders, I’m a brave pro-capitalist free thinker.”
“Jenkins! What are you doing going on forums on company time, get back to work!”
“Sorry boss, right away boss!”
What is that emote where the dude is like Jesus Fucking Christ
Edit: thanks
“If I wanna run over several children in my ultra-polluting truck as drive to dump my nuclear waste on the local playground, that’s MY RIGHT! And if you tankies try to tell me otherwise I’ll just have to get EVEN MORE fascistcentrist!”Pure
mindsetGives me more “libertarian who thinks communism means state-run HOA’s” vibes
We’ve decided that you need three more hours of overtime every week to afford healthcare for your daughter because we can do whatever we want.
I literally like leftist politics because I think it gives more sovereignty to any given individual. Personally, I’m against an organizing policy of society where we all collectively agree to organize society to give like 30 people infinite purchasing power
Let me guess, you told them that they can’t have an 4 ton child mutilator truck?
Capitalism is famous for allowing people to do what they want.
Remember what uncle Joe says!
“It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.”
I wanted to have the land my family has lived in since time immemorial violently enclosed so I could be forced into prole status! Thanks, capitalism!
Phew, that’s serendipity for you. Can you imagine the work we’d have to put in if you wanted the other thing?
The only thing incompatible with anti-capitalism is exploitation of one class by another.
The freedom the bourgeoisie advocate for is the freedom to enslave and exploit other people. It is the antithesis of the freedom that the proletariat speak of, the word freedom itself must be understood through the lens of which class speaks it.
Oh my god it’s this fucking guy. Talcosis is a very bloodthirsty, smug racist and chauvinistic. He’s been in .ml’s socialism making a stink there too.
Oh god, that guy.
I just got done with a way-too long conversation with him that’s really not worth reading, but I’ll summarize.
He claimed he wanted to “abolish states” while at the same time talking about how it was super important for the US to spend so much on the military in order to counter the “threat” of the DPRK. Which he even admitted wasn’t a serious threat. He also claimed that the DPRK “invaded” and “attacked” South Korea and cited a story where a couple soldiers crossed the border then left in response to warning shots, and said, “If you don’t think that is an attack, then the US has never attacked anyone. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korean, Iraq again, whatever.”
He also said:
I think the most likely course of action to prevent conflict is to make individual people uninterested in conflict. Most people already aren’t. Soldiers need to specifically be trained to kill, because that’s not something the majority of people want to do.
If the general says “fight!” And the foot soldier says “no, I think I’d like a nap”, does the war happen?
When I pointed out the blatant contradiction between saying that while arguing for the absolute necessity of US military intervention in Korea, he justified it by saying that he didn’t want to actually use force, he just wanted to intimidate them with the threat of force. I pointed out that literally, fucking Ghenghis Khan preferred that people simply be intimidated into compliance than to have to use force.
At that point he just outright said that he supported Western imperialism because he sees it as less bad than “Eastern Imperialism.” He also wrote off concerns about the US being overextended, calling it, “Standard .ml discourse” and saying “Let me know when
Ukrainethe US collapses!”One of the most transparently imperialist “anarchists” I’ve ever encountered on the fediverse, and let me tell you, that’s a high bar.
he supported Western imperialism because he sees it as less bad than “Eastern Imperialism.”
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.
It really is crazy how cultural hegemony constantly reasserts itself in so many ideological frameworks. It’s like that meme of doing a cool kickflip before landing on a broom and smacking yourself in the face with it, except there’s a million different cool tricks people do before all smacking themselves in the face. And they’re like, “I’m an 360 Ollie Heelflipist, so naturally I despise Varial Kickflipists!” and it’s like who even gives a shit when you both just smack yourself in the face at the end.
Actually I do need to share the part where I did a bit of explaining things to him like a mideval advisor talking to a king:

You have to restrain your ambition, my liege, your lust for power and authority, at least a little bit! If you just accept that you can only dominate and control part of the world, instead of being dead set on total domination, then we can actually achieve some degree of peace and stability. No matter how much you want world domination, it’s just not sustainable or viable. I’m sorry, liege, I know how much you hate the idea that anyone could be free from your authority, but it’s just something you have to accept.
Sire, I fear that your focus is misplaced. There is a growing threat of banditry within your own realm, sire. These are no ordinary bandits, my lord, they are organized and well equipped. I fear they are plotting to seize your throne, milord. The rabble is discontented, there are whispers that the king cares not about protecting the people, that they can ill afford to pay the apocathary for treatment when they fall ill, and that even basic necessities have become harder to come by. I even have reports, sire, that even the loyalty of the guardsmen is in question, as many are loyal to the bandits. Even the courts and magistrates are not free of their influence. And let’s not even discuss the state of your treasury.
You must turn your focus inward, my liege, for the security of the realm. Let us appease our allies with gifts and honeyed words, but not allow ourselves to be drawn into their campaigns. If we try to aid them while there is turbulence at home, it will only create more problems, my liege. I beg you, my liege, put aside your pride and ambition and see reason! I know you long for the field of battle, that the tribulations of the peasants bore you, but it is upon their backs that your power rests, lord. They will only answer the call of battle if they see that you are a wise and cautious ruler, who tends to his realm.
Rent? What’s that? Some poor people thing?
This piece of shit really said this huh. I cannot type the shit I want to happen to him after reading this.
Also this reminds me that yesterday I was told by an anarchist on the Brasilian Autism subreddit about how gender neutral language is bad because, and I kid you not, forcing people to use it is authoritarian, while in the same frase telling me they support enby people.
Just a bit of context in case someone doesn’t know: Portuguese is a gendered language and gender neutrality defaults to masculine, which is obviously problematic for a multitude of reasons, so there is a lot of attempts at drafting what a proper gender neutrality would look like. The most commonly known way is using u/e/ie at the end of words, so for example instead of saying ele (him) or ela (her), we could say elu (closest to singular they in use), and instead of amigo (masculine friend) or amiga (feminine friend), we could use amigue (gender neutral friend just like english has), but chuds love to preach about the sanctity of the language and how bad it is to “force people” for such a small portion of the population.
Also I don’t go picking fights with anarchists because fuck that shit, I see them as comrades until they give me a reason not to, but holy shit this guy, even worse that he then told me that there are better and more important fights than gender neutrality in language to fight for… And as far as I could gather, he was a cis hetero dude…
Ah yes, the “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” ideology
Yeah I’m gonna need some more context to figure out what specific sort of garbage this person is spewing.
They are trying to insist that liberalism and anti-capitalism are perfectly compatible. Just completely incoherent.
It’s sloppy you gotta give us the link friend. I must bear witness. Also I’m at work and super bored.
At my workplace I typically do not follow orders from the megalomaniac dictator I am free as a bird. Under communism @Dort_Owl@hexbear.net will tell me to go to bed when I want to play burnout revenge at max volume at 3am when everyone is trying to sleep. We cannot have this happen I will have to join the fascists
No I’ll be the one forcing you to play Burnout with me at 3am
And of course, it wouldn’t be thread on .world if there wasn’t something even worse out there
loads of brainworms in the threads over thereHalf the time I venture onto .world because they have a big comm related to an interest of mine I go into the comments and there’s some insufferable shitlib buffoonery regardless of whether it has anything to do with anything
