Not to mention Melon Husk is VERY disingenuous about how much money he’s supposedly saving

Nice work Clockwork! Can’t wait to dive in ^^

Large systems still depend on small ones. This is just a fundamental disagreement on how systems work and our understanding of them. You think anarchism means “yeehaw do whatever”. I don’t. This conversation is pointless. And I only talked about traffic for a second, responding to your example.

Anarchy was our first system and it’ll probably be our last. And for a lot of groups of people who have been forgotten and abandoned by the rest of the world, it’s all they have. It’s not about “driving on the other side of the Autobahn”, tf? We understand that anarchism isn’t something you can revolution your way into. It’s the principles and way of life of caring for others and collectively dragging the boot off of people’s necks without depending on/outside of a system that’s designed to marginalize and exploit people.

So you can take your “but muh rules” to someone who cares.

Because anarchy isn’t chaos my dude. And funny you should bring up traffic laws considering many countries have different traffic laws - and yet no one has an issue with that. Hasn’t disturbed anyone.

Anarchy isn’t just democracy (which technically, democracy is a no-cracy since the “power” being in the hands of the people - aka everyone - makes it obsolete, so there isn’t really a -cracy). Anarchism looks at existing systems and unravels them little by little and pinpoints which aspects of our behaviour and our lives have been dictated by what - and how they would be different if no one forced them to be so. In an anarchist society there wouldn’t be much to agree on concerning traffic safety because, simply put, it would follow the standard method of figuring out what works, like how traffic laws are mostly made now. Only difference is if a rule was deemed unhelpful or harmful, the people could contest it a lot more easily because they give a shit about their loved one’s safety

An example as if I was talking to you: “I’ll wack you like an octopus” which technically already describes the action, however traditionally in my country after catching octopus in order to properly kill them and soften them up, fishermen basically smack/wacked them on the ground maniacally.

And I think it’s become such a popular figure of speech because that mental image is hilarious and I love using it.

It could be? Being a democracy or using democracy as a tool for decision making doesn’t mean it has to happen through government. If you’ve ever made a decision with a friend group via popular vote, does that make you a government? Or did you exercise authority over your friends when they all agreed popular vote was okay to decide where to eat out? I wager neither

And fyi, you’re thinking of a representative democracy, which is rarely ever truly fair, especially considering the scale it’s supposedly applied to.

Democracy (proper democracy) is literally a social contract my dude. Anarchism uses democracy and consensus to make decisions. Are laws the only thing keeping you from not doing things??

if only this affected just the people who voted for him…

It’s baffling how foreign relations 101 gets completely thrown out the window by this shining idiot. It is SO important to establish good trade and relations with your bordering countries, and what does this guy do? The exact opposite.

Just gonna copy paste what I told the other guy:

I understand that and completely agree, but comparing taxonomical categories with common categorizations such as “fish” is also missing a big point. You can make better comparisons to get people to understand that taxonomy is made up and not reliable to follow religiously, barely even works as a guideline

After this conversation, I wish I was.

No??? They’re mammals, where did you pull this information out of?

Wait a minute… could this be in protest???

I thought this was satire at first, damn why am I so optimistic

Restaurant friendships are smth else 👌👌

To be fair… Where in the world isn’t there an imperialistic hand?
