  • It’s kind of sad, because the ideals USA claimed to protect were fine

    Claimed is doing a lot of work here. For many / most periods in U.S. history those claims were clearly demonstrably lies and lip service - as the U.S. continually committed atrocities to its citizens and those abroad in the name of capital power.

    Reminds me a bit of the US evangelicals who profusely worship the bible as, but are blatantly and guiltlessly committing mortal sins - see Secretary Pete “Kegs Breath” for a nice example.

    It’s a very American phenomenon

    Understood - but every comment by the poster was fuck’n openly hostile (at me, at the anecdotal cited coworkers, and at fellow imaginary workers who may or may not justifiable needs for flexibility - of course the poster is the one who has a right to judge)

    I stand by comments but doubt they were internalized for any growth or self reflection (but one can hope)








  • Cool guy you are. Your “guarantee” isn’t worth the bits in your text given we don’t know each other - neither is your disrespect.

    But hey keep feeling better than someone else you don’t know if that helps you.

    I’m happy as is with my knowledge and political orientation. Was just trying to widen your lens - to understand why someone may support a political doctrine: anarchy, ghat comes from theory and practice which contributed to many positive changes across societies.

    … also still waiting for your alternate frame



  • So you’re saying human civilization always operated under a hierarchical body politic without decentralized decision making?

    Serious ahistorical claim.

    By the way “anarchy” in the sense of childish movie plot stuff is not what any adherent of the ideology is about. Anarchy is a spectrum and set of guiding principles (like any political belief system), and one can argue that forms of what I might identify as anarchistic political structures have and do exist in many political systems. Just like socialism exists in neoconservative governments, and fascism in democracy ect…





  • I don’t fundamentally disagree with the principle, but it’s easier to police malignant behavior if nudity is confined to limited social spaces (eg. beaches, gyms, saunas, ect…)

    Otherwise you give creepos the ability to ruin random public spaces randomly with very little enforcement potential - but I guess it depends on what of the two restricted scenarios is the lesser evil.

    I am somewhat ambivalent FWIW
