Based answer.
Omni leftists are so quick to abandon the same guiding principals they hold to as soon as it affects what’s on their plate.
12·5 days agoBecause sex is dirty and evil apparently and something bad that should only be done in the most unstimulating and quickest way just to procreate. Anything else is evil and gross and so alluring… I mean disgusting and awful.
This teaching definitely, absolutely doesn’t come from insecure historic incels who only knew how to control and not love. Definitely not, this is absolutely from Heaven itself and should not be questioned.
Despite the quote, Kropotkin actually criticizes “civilized” peoples in Mutual Aid compared to “uncivilized” peoples, often in tribal forms of society. He doesn’t feitishize tribal societies either though, he tends to lean much more towards the village structure of society, which I agree on. I think an ideal anarchist society would function as a confederation of “villages” (note, I use that term loosely, I am not an anprim). There are PLENTY of historical examples of confederations across the world which have worked, long before the rise of the nation-state in the 1500s, which so “coincidently” forming alongside the advent of capitalism, individualism, and the beginning of European colonialism.
Anyways, I agree. I would describe myself as post-civ, as I think since the rise of the agricultural revolution, the socieities we look back on as entire civilizaitons have been controlled by a powerful, wealthy few, who use their monopoly on violence to enact their will. If that’s what civilization is, then I’m not really here for it.

Personally, I find that just submerging yourself in it is far more effective than putting it on from the nozzle.

Dawg, you’re driving around a tank, that’s why. And you’re not impressing anyone else except other chuds.
It actually might be a fundamental principal of the universe like the Fibunnacci sequence. It shows up everywhere, there’s a great old vsauce episode on it.
It was 50% at the end of 2024. They’re probably closer to 55 - 57% now with inflation, doge firings, wars, tariffs, and off shoring
2·30 days agoYou actually can use a minipc. Minisforum has their NAB series and those have a slot in their internals for an SSD and they have an NVME slot in the motherboard. I found a NAB9 with an NVME, SSD, and 16GB of ram for around $310. So I would look for used NAB6s (cheaper than NAB9) on EBay. You should find some for under 300 with the Data SSD and NVME.
Is all authority illegitimate? I wonder about experts in fields and experiential based authority. Like I think we should listen to epidemiologists and immunologists more than farmer Joe who might be a great guy and down to Earth but is not an expert on vaccines. Even in a socialist or communist society, where he is not spouting harmful rhetoric, he still objectively knows less than a doctor in said field.
Same for energy and power plants. I would trust a nuclear physicist or engineer in that field and topic, more than someone who has nothing to do with said field.
That doesn’t mean they then get to be a boss or set up an arbitrary hierarchy but there is objectively some form of authoritative voice there in their field.
Not here but in Africa the Catholic Church pushed for total bans on birth control, condoms included, official in some places and socially in others. The result was huge spikes in HIV across swaths of Africa.
Also don’t be surprised if there is eventually a ban on all both control, not because of actual theocratic desire, but because billionaires don’t want us to have any. Deep down they know LLMs will not lead to AI powerful enough to replace all workers, like they were hoping for a few years back, so they know they need human slaves. They use evangelical idiocy to spur up theocratic chuds and convince the masses, they’re one of them. But these assholes have no set ethics or morals, good or bad, just greed and powerlust.
I bet they are planning all sorts of ways to force us to have future slaves for them. Not saying it will work, I think population decline is unavoidable and not that bad tbh, but they will absolutely try.
