sorry, i couldn't resist.
When in doubt, use ad hominem and memes.
And strawman why not?
i was poking fun at the fact that you seemingly deem yourself on a higher intellectual plane for simultaneously listening to leftists and rightists, which isn't necessarily correct
It's called having a mental disorder
When did I say that?
W h a t
Buy I dont care about your mental disorders.
When did I say that I deem myself on a higher intellectual plane?
you heavily implied it
this entire time you've attempted to discredit us as children
Ah right strawmanning again
Not you
buy, because buy is a child
like a literal child
I said a good portion of leftists and rightists are dumb. That's true.
Same for some centrists too.
And when I say dumb I mean dumb in mostly politics.
Or mislead usually.
Or even brain washed.
i'd say that can be true of many, but getting back to the original point, isolated instances of people acting like morons a sizeable chunk of people does not make.
Yet I hear plenty of communists basically praising the east and making an absurd claim that all the world's problems or east's problems and poverty is simply because of the west and/or capitalism.
And the total lack of research anarchists put in to human nature. Human nature as in what most humans are adapted to.
Stuff like that.
Mr E still wants me to be a child

No, if anything I wish you were an adult.
if they're saying that capitalism is the cause for many a world's ills, and the seat of capitalism is the west, and the west has exploited the resources of less developed nations in order to increase their own share of capital, than i'd say they're absolutely correct.
As for anarchists and human nature, *read Mutual Aid.*
*please.*
I don't think Mr E actually talks to anyone
Like
I think he just looks at memes and goes "hahaha this is what they think"
Also he doesn't know what human nature is
of course an animal who's locked into an artificially created environment with certain artificial incentives is going to behave according to those circumstances.
this makes judging an animal's "nature" by its performance in an artificial environment with artificial incentives absolute bunk.
but if the animal is reduced to its most basic instinct, that is, survival, then it will take the most advantageous strategy to secure survival.
in a modern society, this often takes the form of cooperation.
i'm not some naive idealist who subscribes to rousseau's musings on how humans are driven by some inherent love for their fellow man to create these exquisite societies, as much as i may like rousseau.
and when societies have been worker controlled, and when they haven't been crushed under the wretched paws of some tyrannical government or porcine capitalist, they've thrived!
Get ready for this intellectual response
