I was from Austin originally but housing prices increased dramatically where I couldn't afford to live there and my neetbux were not enough to get a lease I was stuck homeless being a drug dealer for a while
but I am older got a more stable life for a real job and don't have to do any crimes to supplement my income
Good to hear
yeah I am happy my life is less stressful living on that knifes edge really makes you dread waking up sometimes
it is weird here because I live in a super leftist and liberal city but most of my friends are young leftists obsessed with idpol and less about class
also they aren't ever motivated to do anything
I will be back I need to back some cookies
Like, SJW friends?
yeah they are nice and mean well but go to a super SJW uni
sorry I am just greasing my cookie sheet
We have a special place for those kinds of leftists...
holy shit that is hilarious I used to be a crazy anprim and read zerzan and TK's work mainlly industrial society and its future
Unabomber was an absolute Madman. American Mad-Genius, but damnit, he was right about everything
let me look that up since that image is small and hard to read
Can you zoom in?
I think he was right about some things, like him talking about the alienation that comes from division of labor and his theory of the power process is interesting but I am not sure how well it really maps on to humans and psychology
I just googled the title
The absolute Madman
yeah I think TK talking about the failures of leftists resonates with my beliefs but I am not sure how to evaluate how true they are
Dude is a Mathematical genius with an IQ of 167
He's on the ball
but I gave up my anprim beliefs for two reasons mainly people will never abandon technology as long as it allows them to meet their evolutionary goals nobody is going to roll back agriculture to pre green revolution ways because it feeds most of the world
the reason I gave up on anarchism is because I think when leftists gain real autonomy and political power in an area they are often under military threat from preexisting states and needs a state to have a functional military to resist agression
Nazi Germany delclares alliance with Japan -1940
when you look at the paris commune, ukranian black army, korean anarchists all crushed by outside states
anarchism is big haha
all anarchist schools of thought are jokes
it's all a big meme
should not be taken seriously
yeah I feel there is an appeal of anarchism but I am doubtful in it's application both currently and historically
@quiscalus Anarchy is always temporary.
my question is with a super powerful military and a wealthy western democracy is there any reasonable alternative to reform through electoral politics?
*in the US
Super powerful? You mean the same guys who got their asses kicked in afghanistan and vietnam and bugged out to save face?
They will be fully neutered once oil becomes impractical to use due to the scarcity and cost of it.
It's ok we can always sell the Saudis bombers that use green energy lol
they can bomb and family in Yemen using munitions that are sustainably sourced
