  • The main hang ups I see, is the group that determines what counts as loss and how much loss each thing has. These would be the points of attack where the powerful would seek to undermine trust/effectivity/accuracy and manipulate this new system for themselves. There would need to be rigorous safeguards in place to prevent such perversions.

    That said, I like the planned economy aspect but I also feel like it could be used quite well with a smaller scale, more anarchistic society of loosely interconnected groups.

    What does it mean to you, to dehumanize someone? What is materially different about feeding an evil human who has done incalculable damage to the world into a meat grinder, vs doing so with the same person but this time, you feel bad about it because they were a human too?

    I agree, we shouldn’t label groups of people as good or bad if they have no mechanism to move between groups. But if you think for a second that I will regard fascists as anything more than the ravenous, hate filled maggots they are, you are mistaken. They chose to give up their humanity and they could just as easily choose to regain it. Until then, they are not human to mem

    “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! I NEEDED THE MONEY!! THAT’S WHY I HAD TO WORK AS A GUARD AT THE CONCENTRATION CAMP!! MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE STARVED LIKE THE PRISONERS!! NOOOO!!”

    same shit, different degree. Having morals and principles means facing consequences and sometimes people don’t want to face those consequences, so they do away with their morals. They had to do it, don’t you see?







  • Is anyone else walking around in a perpetual SEETHING RAGE THAT APPROACHES THE HEAT OF THE SUN at literally all times because of this shit? Like the absolute state of the fucking world where THAT is what we spend the MAJORITY of our resources on. Literally just manipulating and nagging people to do bullshit no one wants.



  • So a few years ago I was backpacking in Thailand and I met this very nice local girl during the Song Kran festival (country wide water fight in the streets to wash away evils for the new year) and I ended up going back to her house where she lived with her aunt. Looked exactly like that. Toilet flushed with a bucket that you also used to wash your ass. Bed was a thin mattress on concrete. Cockroaches ran around while you slept. They had just enough to get by, but they shared it with me.

    Now she’s my wife and lives here in the USA and I gotta say, I miss that little shack. Would be nicer than this shit hole country, at this point.
