Lots of people where profiting from slave trade 200 years ago and we don't prosecute any ancestors of those people today. I really don't know what your point is.

The danish monarchy is so old that this is so far in the past that it literally does not matter any more. A couple of generations, sure. 1000 years of generations? Nobody cares and I don't think it's reasonable to blame anyone for crimes made by ancestors that far in the past. It's not like we blame me for my ancestors (vikings) pillaging of Englang and other horrible things they did.

None of that sounds impossible. Housing cooperatives ("andelsbolig" in Danish) are quite common in Denmark - I even live in one myself.

I think that's a bit extreme - there are many different varieties of anarchism (some even say that every anarchist has their own definition, which makes the term itself very non-descript). Some might need to devolve to violence but I'm not convinced all of them do.

Obviously that is not fine but you're making a strawman of what I said before. The situation you present is not comparable.

That's fair, but his ancestors crimes are not his to bear or be blamed for.

And again, it doesn't change that the people still want to keep the monarchy. So democracy has spoken.

The monarchy is slightly controversial but the majority of danes like it. There are certain benefits - if we didn't have a king, we'd need a president instead who would be a much more politically divisive figure than the king is. As it is, the king is a much more uniting figure. We also don't need to have elections for the president or any of that stuff.

And no, of course he has no real power. Which is honestly good, cause a president would have more power than that. I personally prefer the situation as it is right now. The king stays because the people say so - that is also democracy.

That’s why you are not allowed anything that remotely resembles democracy

I don't agree with that. I think the Danish democratic political system is functioning quite well, all things considered.

A peaceful takeover would in my mind involve a democratic decision to do the takeover - I don't see how the police would stand in the way of that. The bigger issue would seem to me to be convincing people to vote for such a democratic decision. But at least that is a peaceful path.

While I find anarchist ideas intriguing, I don't like how the comic seems to encourage a violent takeover of property like this.

This is really more like anarchist propaganda than communist.

I don't think they are. The closest thing is hashtags but tags aren't really a thing in ActivityPub as far as I'm aware. This kind of system will also always depend on people correctly tagging their stuff of course.

Exactly my thoughts as well :)

An application doesn't have to be an essay. Feddit.dk has an application that literally just requires a sentence or two. It's really not a big barrier to entry.

Some instances may not want to use democracy to decide on what to block. But some web of trust would be nice perhaps. Like I trust an instance and if that instance blocks another instance, maybe I'd block it too.
