What's amazing is that these are clearly bad photos. Not as in bad quality, but bad for the subject matter. Anyone can see that, and they truly think this will make the left look good.
They truly are infants. Children than hurl names and then cry over someone typing "N".
Even a bunch of the more public servers aren't like this. I'd say this isn't really an example of "average", which is kinda lame because you don't need to lie about Discord considering how openly degenerate it already is.
Nobody mentioned stormfags. Hell, nobody mentioned anything even close to race or sex or demographics of any kind. It was a joke about ditto, and in your persecution complex, you brought up stormfags.
Sounds like they're living rent free.
At this point, it's hard to tell who lives rent free in your head more, women or stormfags.
Because it's not based in rationality. It is, as Assassin above pointed out, a security blanket. It does nothing, and they probably know that, but they don't care. It makes them fEeL like they're protected. And that's all that matters. The world could tell them it was poisonous (which with bacterial pneumonia, it kinda is), and they'd still wear them.
"Dr" "Aids is airborne" Fauci would never have stuck with that. He's wanted a major pandemic all his life, and he finally managed to lie his way into one.
That's more the aftermath result for many people. I truly do feel sorry for them that the psyop impacted them so much. But at the same time, if you're that weak willed, you probably deserve it to some extent.
Fraud is definitely the big one, though I do wonder about age as well.
It's a pretty well known fact that Florida has a higher average age than the rest of America, and that there is also a correlation of as age progresses the more likely a person is to shift towards the right. So when this says "advanced degrees", how many of those are people who got said degrees more than 10 years ago?
But a lack of fraud/more stringent voting security is probably the big one.
I thought masks were dumb from day one. A virus spreads.
It wasn't about preventing spread, that was the official narrative. Masks were about a visual feedback so that dumbfucks out there see masks and think that Something™ is being done. What is this Something™? Who the fuck knows, but you should definitely trust the government that Something™ is being done for your benefit.
Never underestimate the desire of government to lie to their people and employ psyops against them.
Maybe it's time to move past partisanship and accept that Republicans aren't the heroes just because they go the speed limit when the end destination is the same.
And you keep on compromising on principles and willingly supporting evil. I'll keep having as many anarchistic interactions I possibly can. Ya know, living by what I preach rather than begging mommy government to wipe my ass.
Wanted a last word, but had nothing to actually say? Just take the L, statist.
Define government and then give the difference between a government and an organisation.
There will always be organisation and collaboration. There does not need to be an entity that forces itself upon people without their consent, as it steals the fruits of their labour (taxes) to keep itself alive.
I haven't said
You don't have to. Statists are predictable, namely because I was in your shoes once and because you refuse to listen to answers that anarchists give any time any of these questions are asked. People like you love to go on and on about "well what about this issue, anarchists don't talk about this", when it's one of the main points that gets spoken about for nearly a century at this point.
There are two main statist groups. The naive, who believe they can harness the evil for good, and the nihilistic, the ones that give up because "it will always happen". Society trends towards authoritarianism as time goes on, gonna go and advocate for that in your cowardly defeatism? Or do you think that maybe striving for freedom is the moral choice?
Now do that with your worldview. America is currently run by pedophiles. Everyone fucking knows it, and nothing is being done about it. And this is specifically the result of "small and limited government". It failed, just like all government fails. I'm not promising utopia, that's what statists do: lie about providing a service for your benefit. I'm part of the group saying "It's all lies, and you're beyond retarded for believing it".
I'm an OG GGer and a KiA2 poster
Okay, and? That has nothing to do with anything. Stop trying to cred-post, because it ultimately undermines that very effort.
People are social and so they'll maker social rules to live with their peers, even inside an organization
As they should have the freedom to do. Shockingly though, none of that justifies forcing any of that on anyone for any reason.
This isn't the "own" you might think it is. And no, voluntary organisation is not a government.
You wanna know something that is pointless though? Knowing, admitting and condemning that the elite are overwhelming some of the most evil people on the planet, filled with war criminals, pedophiles, abusers and every other type of scum out there, and then falling back into supporting that very system that empowered those people to get away with their injustices. You accept that the elite are evil, and when faced with what little free will you have left, you choose not to avoid picking evil, but explicitly go out of your way to pick evil of your flavour and then condemn others that want to stop picking evil.
Every single day you have anarchist interactions. Every single day you do things without government. Every single day you take care of yourself. You don't need the government there to hold your hand. You're an adult, not a toddler.
The only ones ignoring evil existing is statists who continually admit people can be unbelievably evil to turn around and ignore that the government is made up of those very same people with untouchable power.
You will never get to choose how much of your income is taken, what guns you can have, whether or not you can just sell things you made. The only political choice you will ever have in your life is whether you submit to or reject authority. And it's clear you've chosen to submit.
Except you're not stuck having a leader. You don't have to pick a "lesser" evil.
Just don't think about all the ways human nature will screw things over and they'll work perfectly!
The only one who ignores human nature are statists that ignore their government being made up of those same fallible people. But sure, the "solution" to corruption is to continue on with the system and aim for the most utopian bullshit you could imagine. "If we just voooooote the right people in, it will all turn out fine! Doesn't matter that it hasn't happened yet, just keep on the status quo!"
It's really utopian as well. "If we just have the right leader, with the right politics, with the right policies, with the right successors, surely this will all work out forever!".
Nothing will make you sound more insane than knowing a handful of things the government has openly admitted to, never faced consequences for, and therefore proceed to condemn government for. And it literally doesn't matter what government. They're all guilty of something like this.
I have a counter question: why are you expecting an ideology based around the opposition of forced central planning to provide a central planning solution?
The answer is, like all other problems, that you fix your problems yourself. Now, that isn't a nice flowery utopian answer, but that's the thing most people don't understand about anarchy/anarchist: We're not promising utopia like every other naive ideology out there.
See, the implication here is that a power vacuum would be filled by warlords, but there's just one problem with that: the warlords are already in power. So it can just as easily be turned back to you: what does a government do to prevent tyranny? And the answer is simple: it embraces it.
voluntaryists are for government
Well this is where we get into a more semantical argument. Is a voluntary association a government? It technically doesn't govern or rule over you for it's entirely voluntary. That's the foundation of it.
You'd pay taxes to who you choose to pay taxes to.
Again, a semantics argument. It wouldn't be taxes at that point, it would be a bill for it's entirely your choice to engage in getting certain services. I'm not being "taxed" when I go fill up my car, I'm paying for the goods and services I have asked for. And really, this mentality is of treating payment and taxes the same is ultimately what leads to ideas like "The Social Contract" that nobody ever agreed to but we are for some reason beholden to.
Any more strawmen of anarchy you wanna get out? Maybe a classic "without government, who would build the roads"?
Every single day you reject authority. Every single day you take care of yourself and your own problems, and if the only thing stopping you from murder is government, then you're an objectively terrible person. But every single day you take care of your problems, and you balk at the idea of being expected to take care of yourself like you already do.
But hey, what's stopping you from being murdered now? Not what happens afterwards, what is actively preventing you from being killed? Government and law is purely reactive and not preventative. Drugs, "terror", "misinformation", doesn't matter what the government wages war on, it always loses their preventative efforts.
PS, you can still live in a voluntaryist organisation/group/collective/whatever label you want. You can still have private security if you want to pay for it. You just don't get to steal the labour of others to pay for it instead. Anarchy =/= chaos, but statists cannot comprehend that.
What part of "Unironically drawn in by the lure of evil to think they can do good" was misunderstood? You're still thinking that this evil, if shackled or limited enough, will somehow produce something good.
Voluntaryism is the only way to go, which would not fall under the category of a government (which imposes itself upon people regardless of consent), but of free and voluntary association or organisation. Everything else is one flavour or another of "The Ends Justify The Means" or "For The Greater Good". Or some level of naivety that this time, despite literally every other time, it will turn out differently and the government will miraculously be good for virtually no reason at all.
And make no mistake, I understand that this isn't something that will happen. Certainly not in my lifetime at least. But the reality is that we will never get to "vote" on limiting the government. You will never get to choose how much of your income is taken, what guns you can have, whether or not you can just sell things you made. The only political choice you will ever have in your life is whether you submit to or reject authority on the individual level in everyday situations. That will sometimes risk consequences. Sometimes it won't. But that's the only real choice you ultimately have.
Oh boy, pandering to a demographic that has much higher rates of poverty and therefore less disposable income will surely be a winning move. I can't wait for this guy to be the next multi millionaire by pandering to people overwhelmingly in poverty.
On an artistic level, I kind of agree, but everyone can tell that these images are not intended to be the subjects proverbial good side and is intended to be an unflattering photo.
