If only it was that simple. What freedom comes from listening to a neo-nazi?

db0 , 19 hours ago

Not everyone is open to help. Likewise, you seem to be writing in the abstract. Or what exactly should a jewish or PoC hear when the neo-nazi is talking about their extermination?

of course. They will recieve 30% of the candy the collect as payment

The counter to hypocrisy is not more hypocrisy. It's no hypocrisy

db0 OP , 3 days ago

None of the above.

Continue with that analogy. What would happen if that woman had no other option. Should she choose the nice guy, the chad or object to the choice being fostered upon her and choose nobody? And if she's paired anyway with that person, should she then act as if it was her choice, or take actions to disengage from that person and destroy the system that caused these turn of events?

db0 OP , 3 days ago

So the woman in our scenario should decide to choose the "Nice Guy" tactically?

db0 OP , 3 days ago

I don't think it does. A choice fostered upon me at the threat of violence is not a choice at all. I refuse to participate and therefore legitimize such a farce.

Who said I'm "doing nothing"? Voting isn't doing anything. Only actions outside the ballot matter.

It really doesn't. This is the momentum of your country either way. Or did you forget that your democrats had chances to put Supreme Court justices and they just...didn't?

And so I refer you back to my first comment in this thread

db0 OP , 3 days ago

My point to this kind of comment is made in that post. We're just looping at this point.

db0 OP , 3 days ago

I understand that I'm living in an oppressive system enforced by violence and that my life is shaped at the threat of state violence. you don't need to reiterate that to me. It's why I'm not legitimizing it by participating in this farce of "democracy" and instead dedicate my life to changing it.

Whichever puppet is on top doesn't change all that whatsoever. Nor will your platitudes about be "accepting the democratic consensus of the many" when I don't have the alternative due to said violence.

db0 OP , 3 days ago

Non-participation is not the same as doing nothing. If she chooses to date neither, neither is in her life. If you do nothing, you still get trump or Biden. The analogy doesn’t hold.

Continue with that analogy. What would happen if that woman had no other option. Should she choose the nice guy, the chad or object to the choice being fostered upon her and choose nobody? And if she’s paired anyway with that person, should she then act as if it was her choice, or take actions to disengage from that person and destroy the system that caused these turn of events?

It fits. You say the analogy doesn't fit because "we don't have a choice". I tell you to adjust the analogy so that the woman doesn't have a choice either.

db0 OP , 3 days ago

If the woman doesn't choose any, who does she end up with? What should she do about it? You clearly see the absurdity when presented as an analogy, but you cannot see the similarity because the violence of the politicians is many levels removed from you.

db0 OP , 3 days ago

The fact that you're continuously dodging the questions is not lost on me

db0 OP , 3 days ago

That's a good point actually. Arranged marriages existed for thousands of years. Women and girls were usually not given a choice, but even if when they were and chose the "lesser evil" it did nothing to end the tradition and evils of arranged marriage.

db0 OP , 3 days ago

Again, assume she has the same lack of choice. What should she do? Why does that differ from what we should do?

Hate to break it to you, but your chess games have led you to the precipice of fascism and climate apocalypse. But keep playing, I'm sure the next game will reverse all that.

Yes, it's absolutely comparable at the same years of experience in that role. Like every other job.

Why beat around the bush. Just remove the concept of money altogether

Again. Irrelevant. Nobody is arguing against specialization

Nonsense

I don't have to argue against assertions without evidence

How do you you "gobble up power" in a group dedicated to preventing anyone having power over others?

db0 OP , 3 days ago

You...realize that in the system I'm talking about there's no state or police?

db0 OP , 3 days ago

That's not what an "anarchistic dream" looks like, lol

db0 OP , 3 days ago

That's not what Anarchism means. You can't just redefine eastabilished political movements willy-nilly

Stockpiling resources isn't possibly without exploitation. Why would anyone let you stockpile resources they create? These assumptions don't make sense
