nxdefiant,

Anarchy has a well defined meaning.

This is my biggest problem with your phrasing, and I know that it just boils down to semantics - and that feels like absurd reductionism, is that “anarchisticly organized” is essentially a matter/antimatter reaction of a phrase that leaves the reader with nothing of substance.

Now for something truly controversial:

Capitalism is the purest form of anarchy.

nxdefiant,

That is literally unregulated capitalism.

nxdefiant,

ok, some points, to define things:

Humans lived in stateless societies for longer than we’ve had recorded history.

States, social hierarchy, classes, money, religion, etc. are observed human behavior. They are the very result of humanity maneuvering with the chaos.

We use words like Capitalism as the names for models that describes some subset of human behavior.

(We see some groups of humans pooling the results of labor for redistribution and call the various forms of this different flavors of socialism.

We see other groups pooling the results of labor into separate pools fland segregating humans into groups defined by access to these various pools. We call these various forms of capitalism.)

We also see some groups force the behaviors described by various models directly on their members, (which are usually selected by physical proximity), through various means like manipulation, violence, coercion, enticement, etc. Sometimes this leads to a stable state, and we call these States, and sometimes it doesn’t and we call these Failed States. When their collective commonality isn’t geographic though, we have various names for them too (religion, for example).

So, although Freedom (the general human ability to make choices and act on them) is the default human state, “Unregulated Capitalism” is the model that most closely describes the behavior observed in underground/black markets. It is the state that emerges when humans make the choice to engage in commerce without regulation: capital gets allocated according to the laws of natural selection instead of supply and demand, but the system is still dependent on the supply and demand. To put it another way, this is Natural Capitalism: The “I have all the capital because no one is strong enough to take it away from me” kind of capitalism.

nxdefiant,

Quite the opposite. If you read more, you might be less inclined to believe that.

nxdefiant,

Well that makes two of us, feel free to share yours.

nxdefiant,

Well, you didn’t post at me like an asshole, so, thank you right back you well mannered human!

And I didn’t mean to be so wordy, but sometimes they just get away from me.

nxdefiant,

ZFS is baked in by default and the os is rock solid stable. It follows the same philosophy as Debian really, only the most tried and tested code makes it into the os.

nxdefiant,

I wish he gets exactly what he deserves, and there is no way that’s better than anything I can imagine for him.

nxdefiant,

Nuclear should be the only non renewable power we use at scale. Oil makes sense for emergency situations (it’s portable and is stable forever) and where energy density is most important (like aircraft, for now). Coal can fuck right off.

nxdefiant,

How powerful are the communes that they were able to stop franco expansionism dead in its tracks?

More dog owners are questioning vaccines like rabies after COVID (www.pressherald.com)

More than half of U.S. dog owners expressed concerns about vaccinating their dogs, including against rabies, according to a new study published Saturday in the journal Vaccine. The study comes as anti-vaccine sentiments among humans have exploded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....

nxdefiant,

And that tick that makes you allergic to meat. I would very much like a vaccine for that.

nxdefiant,

I can’t recall anyone that was recovered from being a Borg begging to go back. In fact quite the opposite.

It wasn’t like the Nexus where everyone agreed it was better even after the fact.

nxdefiant,

Alternatively: You have no distinctiveness that will augment our own, so we’re going to liquefy you and feed you to the childborgs.

nxdefiant,

Yeah, they all speak of “oneness”, but again, no one is falling over themselves to get reassimilated.

Even Hugh accepted death over it.

And that’s taking into account that the nanites literally rewrite their brain to make them feel that way.

nxdefiant,

Probably because they used an old jpeg. This isn’t news.

nxdefiant,

yes and also yes. They have a job they agreed to do, and fuck them right off into the unemployment line if that hurts their feelings.

nxdefiant,

The alternative is that his words are bald faced lies and he believes he’s all but winking at the “adults in the room” that “of course he’ll never actually do this”.

They’re both equally horrible, and sadly equally possible.

nxdefiant,

Steps to easy aquarium life:

  1. Buy huge tank

2.stock with cheap mixed/hybrid cichlids

3.enjoy the multigenerational thunderdome.

I have twice as many fish as I bought, and it’s been a decade+.

nxdefiant,

Yeah, the post mentioned booze.

nxdefiant,

Colonjecture.

nxdefiant,

Yeah, a simple “Today we celebrate the anniversary of blah” would have worked.

I can’t help but feel it’s Filoni having fun though.

nxdefiant,

He’s surrounded by his own, privately owned and operated, yes-social media platform

nxdefiant, (edited )

Ah, but they would have to sue to enforce it. I’d love to see his mental gymnastics on that one.

nxdefiant,

What’s really gonna bake your noodle later is if you’d have thought about that thing at all if it wasn’t something they were advertising…

nxdefiant,

He was also supposed to play the Yamok sauce, but that scene got cut.
