Fucking "libertarian"s giving anarchists a bad name.

I must have missed this when I was reading Odd Thomas and Cold Fire.

When the state and its agents fail to utilize their monopoly on violence to uphold justice and provide no alternative to escape the injustices in one’s life, it leaves the victim with no other alternative but to enact justice by their own hand with the means most readily available to them.

Vigilante justice is the solution to systemic injustice.

It just absolutely sucks that psychedelics and marijuana are being wrapped up in this bullshit.

Nice false dichotomy you got there bucko.

Imperialism is bad no matter the flavor.

Idk … Andor has a really good message.

To have “more or less” of something implies the effectiveness of the product is directly caused by the metric being measured.

The amount of time a genotype took to evolve has no bearing on the effectiveness.

There is no such thing as “more/less evolved”. There is no gradient. Something either is evolved to adapt to its environment or it isn’t.

They get more votes because when you only have two candidates, and both are appealing to the right, the one who is fully right wing will beat out the one that is offering half assed attempts at pandering. And that isn’t even beginning to get into the propaganda from the right that Dems are nothing but sleezy liars who will say anything to get their way, and then the Dems literally start doing that, won’t win over anyone from across the isle.

A simple analogy is you have two cake shops, both selling for the same price (a single vote). One advertising a generic square cake and the other a three tier masterpiece with all the bells and whistles. It’s quite obvious who is gonna get the most customers.

Meanwhile the rest of the population gets further and further disillusioned with the system and stops participating when its obvious that it doesn’t care to represent their interests.

And there is no political leverage the proletariat has to push for policy change after the election. The pressure came from “do what we say or at election time we vote for someone else”

Well, every fucking election when it comes time to follow through after they again failed to hold up their end of the bargain the majority gets cold feet and caves to familiarity because risking change is scary.

Exactly. Can’t have change from within the system when the vast majority willingly throws away their political leverage and uncritically grants power to genocidal imperialists.

How many empty promises must people fall victim to before they decide to do something other than beg for change?

Cool. I don’t love America. I fucking despise this country and everything it stands for. Israel can fall with it, never should have existed in the first place.

The world would be leagues better for it.

Not less evolved. Just evolved differently for alternative environmental circumstances.

There is no hierarchy of evolutionary traits. Just an amalgamation of traits that are or are not useful in the current environment. What genetic makeup is effective in one place and time is useless in another, and what was once useless may now be beneficial.

We have no clue how threatening they could potentially be.

This very succinctly explains why I, with AuDHD, find it practically impossible to get anything done as I slowly rot from untreated chronic illnesses.

I still have people telling me that 15/hr is too generous.

People gotta start getting angry enough to organize with other angry people.
