Part of that is just the expression of powerlessness too though.

2019-09-14 08:23:06 UTC  

tell me what to buy, what to think, what to feel, what to wear, what to say and not say! please oh mighty government, I'll do anything just take away my doritos and peanut butter!

2019-09-14 08:23:16 UTC  

powerlessness is a choice

2019-09-14 08:24:08 UTC  

There is an element of human nature that prolonged peace breeds discontent because we're biologically hardwired to -survive-, ie, look for dangers and avoid them. So as people we make up problems that don't necessarily pose any real threat at all, and scapegoat like fuck until we feel truly threatened by it. Peace is some kind of exalted ideal that kills us ultimately because we simply didn't evolve for peace.

This is what I keep saying we need another world war

As an individual, there is next to nothing you can personally do to address civilizational issues. It's why the state is necessary. Its natural, once you have given the state the power to act on behalf of the commons to want it to solve issues you consider large enough to warrant it's involvement. The issue being the matters the state is involved in will naturally tend to increase. Which, along with the choice you've mentioned, also reinforces the idea that the individual can't solve an increasing number of smaller issues, be they cultural or whatever.

2019-09-14 08:26:28 UTC  

It doesn't mean the individual is powerless. Merely, that he feels himself to be. And therefore the state takes up the slack.

2019-09-14 08:26:36 UTC  

There are two main ways to go about solving this: By giving into the ape mind and descending into some kind of 1984 manufactured warfare shit, or anarchy, OR, progressive mass enlightenment- which is dangerous because it hasn't been attempted successfully before, it's pie-in-the-sky, and who the hell do you trust to give the right advice to 8 billion people lol

2019-09-14 08:27:05 UTC  

there is everything you can do to address civilizational issues which is be an actual example of what needs to happen by increasing your competence.

2019-09-14 08:27:15 UTC  

being Able to do things is the power

2019-09-14 08:27:28 UTC  

But you cant fool yourself into thinking youre a one-man army

2019-09-14 08:27:38 UTC  

not 'knowing' things, that's not enough and it's lazy. It's why I have more value for a joiner than I do for a scholar

2019-09-14 08:28:30 UTC  

well done you read and write a lot, this guy built a bed by himself. with or without civilisation, this guy and a few others can still have a house, have walls, have those layers of protection and security. he doesn't have to beg anyone else for anything, if there's a tree and a small group he'll make it.

2019-09-14 08:30:04 UTC  

while Liberalism is the basis of your country you can do that, it's why we need to always push back against governmental over reach because it's our competence they carve into. like 'you need a license to fish here', fair enough there might be reason. but how about you just protecc your lake when you have one, when you're the one who claims and has that land you work. Peru did something amazing a while back, where any family who 'worked' any land for 3 generations was given ownership of that land as private property. I love that idea

2019-09-14 08:30:56 UTC  

That's a good idea... god, the things I'd do for a piece of land.

2019-09-14 08:31:11 UTC  

imagine if all you had to do was find some and keep it healthy and work it. lol

2019-09-14 08:31:53 UTC  

Its all I WANT to do

2019-09-14 08:32:01 UTC  

Im not the only one

2019-09-14 08:32:09 UTC  

yea i think that's literally human nature when it is free

2019-09-14 08:32:33 UTC  

and the state is body of people who own those things coming together and agreeing to a set of rules together.

*MANIFEST DESTSINY INTENSIFIES*

2019-09-14 08:33:07 UTC  

Where are you all from anyways

2019-09-14 08:33:13 UTC  

that's what a democracy is supposed to be. not just vagrant loose entities called civilians, battery humans in their high rise flats and apartments spamming out blog posts and putting a tick on a bit of paper.

Dr O'Sullivan and his colleagues are credited with inventing Wi-Fi. In 1992 and 1996, CSIRO obtained patents for a method later used in Wi-Fi to "unsmear" the signal. The first version of the 802.11 protocol was released in 1997, and provided up to 2 Mbit/s link speeds. one for Hasbro

2019-09-14 08:35:00 UTC  

Our current democracy is idiots voting for idiots, that needs to be fixed

2019-09-14 08:35:51 UTC  

it's one thing I sympathise communists with, but I think workers should privately own their produce, not the 'means of production' which they either bought from someone who produced it or they didn't. Time to write a new manifesto lol

2019-09-14 08:36:15 UTC  

'the manifesto of lordism'

2019-09-14 08:36:22 UTC  

Feudalism?

2019-09-14 08:36:25 UTC  

If you produce something

2019-09-14 08:36:30 UTC  

And you get loan for it

2019-09-14 08:36:46 UTC  

lol, actually I am personally a monarchist so maybe I am a bit feudalistic lol

2019-09-14 08:36:51 UTC  

It is basically your boss paying you for what you produce

2019-09-14 08:36:51 UTC  

but feudalism with capital rights

2019-09-14 08:36:56 UTC  

and human rights.

2019-09-14 08:37:00 UTC  

how's that? can we make a deal

2019-09-14 08:37:06 UTC  

Dude I contemplate neo-feudalism a lot

2019-09-14 08:37:19 UTC  

yea totally kinky

2019-09-14 08:37:27 UTC  

But feudalism is build on someone being a higher class than other people

2019-09-14 08:37:43 UTC  

It's literally counter libertarian

2019-09-14 08:37:46 UTC  

that was actually behind the peru choice to give land ownership to those who had been working it. is they'd then 1. be able to take out loans. and 2. the police would be able to protect them from the golden path
