“Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival.”

There are a lot of great answers here already, but I would like to put forth the anticapitalist position that the quote above is likely false. Humans can work together, we have developed systems of cooperation that can deter selfishness from destroying a community. This is possible (and despite decades of propaghanda…popular!) What is stopping it is the greed for wealth and power of the 1% at the expense of everyone else and the planet. The masses of people are constantly trying to stop this, and mostly fail. But cracks in their power do open occasionally, and you just have to do what you can until a Crack is available for you to help widen. I think it’s possible to win, but not through personal lifestyle changes and voting alone. Only through activism and protest is it possible. Most humans keep trying to solve this, and that gives me hope.

He practically is. He single handedly sends them the bombs every week

Don’t even have to read all of this dumbass article. You can’t blame one politician in Israel for stopping a ceasefire. As the USA, we supply the weapons, we supply the money. Cut that off and the war stops. Israel cannot genocide without US support, it is literally impossible. This is the USA committing a genocide that they can stop at literally any time.

That’s the one!

What’s the movie? I really identify with corpse #3

I mean I’m in my 40s and laughed

He was 20 years old. He might have registered republican just to try ways of getting closer to trump

Exactly. Almost everytime the chaos is when police beat and arrest peaceful protest. A lot of protest never even got off the ground, so to speak. I saw thousands gather in a park and as soon as they took their first steps to march waves of police moved in and just destroyed them.

Who should Gimli replace in A new hope? I say Leia. The line "short for a storm trooper " would be extra funny. He could be tossed over the gap when fleeing the death star. I like imagining him reacting to his home planet being blown up. And later in the series it would be quite the reveal when he turns out to be Luke’s sister.

give it to me RAWWWW and WIGGLING

I’m thinking of switching to Tidal. I’ve had YouTube music for awhile and I like it, but I just learned they fired a huge chunk of their staff after they unionized and that pissed me off. Anybody know how their rock and jazz selection is, especially with smaller lesser known artists?

Always time for another swift meme. And if you are late just hop in the jet to catch up!

haha best one yet!

We are already post scarcity. Most energy use is just a complete waste.

Pretty frustrating interview, I didn’t grasp what his actual issues ate with AI. I guess I’ll look for other articles somewhere else

Counter measures against warlordism would be crucial for effective anarchism for sure!

I think the easiest approach to anarchism is searching for Chomsky talking about it.

This is correct. If society becomes a place where a few people are running everything by force it is not anarchy, even if technically there are no written down laws. A lot of anarchist philosophy is about how to achieve and maintain anarchy without it devolving back into hierarchical power structures. There are a lot of different ideas that have spawned their own subgenre of anarchy. I personally think some checks and balances combination of unions and community councils is the most likely to succeed. This is anarcho-syndicalism.

I don’t think thats true. Housing prices are high everywhere, I have friends and family in the midwest their shit is out of control too. New York and San Fran are the most extreme for sure but costs of renting or buying have like tripled everywhere over the last decade

Well one thing they never miss is their mommy.

They’ll just go secretive and underground like in that Simpsons episode
