yeah there's a death cult type of atmosphere

2019-05-05 16:20:02 UTC  

We had a good long run of it for over 1000 years

2019-05-05 16:20:03 UTC  

to a lot of things

2019-05-05 16:20:17 UTC  

yeah then we accidently industrialized

2019-05-05 16:21:28 UTC  

We need to look at intellectual movements since the 1950s, some revisionist marxist schools and later on postmoderns like Foucault

2019-05-05 16:21:56 UTC  

Putting your own legitimacy into question

2019-05-05 16:22:13 UTC  

It's no longer the humanist western dream marx had

2019-05-05 16:22:31 UTC  

It's more of a suicide

2019-05-05 16:22:38 UTC  

It's inevitable I think

2019-05-05 16:22:44 UTC  

Yeah

2019-05-05 16:22:51 UTC  

I think its 50 50

2019-05-05 16:23:15 UTC  

we might... maybe solve it. But at the very minimum we will see catastrophe

2019-05-05 16:23:41 UTC  

it raises an existential question

2019-05-05 16:23:43 UTC  

Then you see how the postmodernists build themselves in opposition to marx, the last pillar of western philosophy

2019-05-05 16:23:49 UTC  

how does one live in this scenario

2019-05-05 16:24:39 UTC  

Meow

2019-05-05 16:25:01 UTC  

Wow this is an interesting discussion

2019-05-05 16:25:22 UTC  

I don't think we should think like all those survivalist scenarios (every man for himself), total anarchy isn't what will happen

2019-05-05 16:25:43 UTC  

Even though we've been hardwired to see it like this through media and art

2019-05-05 16:25:53 UTC  

agreed I think in the face of catastrophe people will find solidarity

2019-05-05 16:26:03 UTC  

Its an argument iv had with people who "prep" to run away

2019-05-05 16:26:32 UTC  

I think its silly in a sense, your best chance is working together

2019-05-05 16:26:47 UTC  

but i mean on a psychological level

2019-05-05 16:26:54 UTC  

how do you bother having goals

2019-05-05 16:27:00 UTC  

or anything

2019-05-05 16:27:07 UTC  

in the face of such a bleak future

2019-05-05 16:28:19 UTC  

Anarchists should be alligned with libertarians and republicans

2019-05-05 16:28:47 UTC  

Anarchists always end up allying with State forces against communists in marches lmao

2019-05-05 16:28:54 UTC  

One of those commitments was to get rid of two regulations for every one implemented

2019-05-05 16:29:23 UTC  

Republic is a fine transition

2019-05-05 16:29:30 UTC  

Problem is republicans see it as an end

2019-05-05 16:30:30 UTC  

do republicans even have an ideology outside of advocating for an extremist faction of the american bourgeois

2019-05-05 16:30:57 UTC  

I mean republicanism

2019-05-05 16:31:01 UTC  

Not the GOP

2019-05-05 16:31:09 UTC  

ahh

2019-05-05 16:31:33 UTC  

im aussie oops

2019-05-05 16:31:46 UTC  

I'd take tbe french republicans of 1789-1794 as the model

If you think the GOP is in any way racist you are a victim of propaganda

2019-05-05 16:35:43 UTC  

The GOP is just incredibly dogmatic

2019-05-05 16:37:38 UTC  

They are just being portrayed that way by propagandists at places like slate, wapo, nyt, ect
