The school board is basically admitting that teaches are gonna get shot as part of their jobs. That’s so fucked up

Technology Connections did a good video debunking the light bulb conspiracy myth: https://youtu.be/zb7Bs98KmnY?si=kuo40VBOPtMzokqZ

Especially with kids, who aren't the most conscientious hand washers

Churchill was a racist idiot and that’s still a dumb quote.

Democracy is a plane with 20 people on it. Nine vote not to crash it and eleven vote to fly it into a mountain, and that means everyone dies because democracy

Love how you think that not only are there only two options, but that democracy isn’t also authoritarian. It’s just mob rule instead of an individual.

Every human knows and has used a superior system from the time they first started playing with other people: Consensus.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

Democracy is majority rule, and fuck whatever the minority wants.

Consensus is we don’t do anything unless we all agree.

If we had a consensus based government I wouldn’t have a fascist as a representative

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

Yes and we should all agree on who is going to represent us. Otherwise the losing party is disenfranchised.

So the only way to get anything done is to do it against the will of at least some people? You've never been in a group where you agreed on a course of action together?

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

There's lots of ideas about this, but my solution is to simply eliminate the idea that we need to rule millions of people.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

Maybe the groups should be smaller then

Your shoe has a pretty good knowledge of anarchism. You could learn a thing or two from it

What would you do if your roommate wouldn't help with the housework? Or had some quirk you didn't like? Would you just leave or would you try to work it out?

One thing this thread has taught me is a lot more people than I think can't conceive of alternatives to the shitty system we have. Churchill said it's the best so we're not gonna change it, right?

I don't believe in nations, either, so that's not a problem for me

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

Just like God, right? God exists regardless of whether I believe in Him?

I'm sorry I didn't have a full treatise on the implementation of anarchism in a modern society prepared for you. I forgot the Internet is Very Serious Business™ and I get paid for educating people on it, not my actual job.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

Yes but also yes

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

What evidence? There’s no borders on the earth. All of the evidence for nations is the same as evidence for god: stuff people made.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 7 months ago

Internet: Serious Business.

Don’t religions have power structures and diplomatic missions?

Tables and chairs actually exist in the physical world. They’re objectively real. Countries - like gods - are inter subjectively real.

Thanks! I don't really have a stuffy nose as it all seems to be draining into my lungs (yummy) but I'm gonna try a Claritin to see if it helps
