TL;DR internet anarchist goes to Greece, meets actual Greek anarchists, they discuss the best type of anarchism/politics in an apartment, and the actual Greek anarchists realize the internet anarchist is absolutely insufferable and throw him down the stairs as he shouts "stop initiating force against me, you're breaking the NAP!" and also stole the memory card containing the photos of graffiti he took, which started the entire event

Coinbase mysteriously crashed at the exact same time as a sudden 10% price drop. A completely unforeseen event to everyone aside from the ones who saw this exact thing happen the last 100 times.

Coinbase is also the exchange the character known as FC/CC claimed they would no problem withdrawing from if the price moved and was well regulated.

I'm probably a huge idiot for this but I was able to do a modest buy on mobile (Coinbase) when it was down. Nothing I can't afford to lose, but I want to see what happens next week. And yep, never bought crypto before yesterday.

Dude tries to explain ancap to Greek antifascists, who break the Non-Aggression Pact and drag his fascist rear end down the stairs until he cries

It's a pro click

quote:

Eventually one of the guys spoke up and I thought he was Greek, but he spoke English perfectly so he may have not been. He said he knew what anarcho-capitalism was and that we were basically fascists. He asked me if I thought everything should be private. And I said yes. And he asked me if I thought people were unequal. And I told him yes. And that not everyone would have equal rights. I said everyone has the right to own property and not be done aggression against. But that not everyone had to be treated equally by the owners. He said what about immigrants and racism. And I said that would not happen in a free market, but yes property owners could be racist if they wanted to. They had to respect property.

Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling "you're breaking the NAP" and things like that. "Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.

I think they felt bad for me and gave the camera back, but when I looked later they stole the memory card with all of my Greek photos.

So they initiated force and theft. They broke the NAP. I knew the left anarchists were not real anarchists, but I never knew they would do something that bad.

The idea of a Non-Aggression Pact is amazing.

Yes, go preach about anarcho-capitalism to greek anticapitalist anarchists, your buddy in Montana was totally right about this sort of unwritten rule between activists worldwide.

I don't think I've seen as much infighting anywhere as I've seen in activist movements.

Yes, but they normally last just long enough for the owner of the exchange to finish cashing out their transactions

That is how I read it and assumed there was not a public notice by bitcoiner complaints. By the same metric as the NYSE uses the exchanges would be hitting the lower level breaker pretty frequently. Bitcoin exchanges also have a history of accepting deposits but not withdrawls, or if they do they wait until the exchange rate is in their favor rather than at the time of the request.

Etiquette would be a better word.

You don't talk to cops, ever, you're not supposed to shame or attack your peers, etc. but it happens all the time and I've seen so many internal dramas, infighting, shaming, outing or doxxing, etc.

I've been part of a lot of various "initiatives" and groups, and the times it didn't devolve into poo poo I can count on one hand.

Oh there's that guy that notoriously accepted a cash payment from the Montreal police following our local Occupy for "his collaboration". The most amazing part is he's the one that admitted to it before people found out otherwise.

My worst memory from a decade of activism was in summer of 2017, less than a week after the Charlottesville murder/riots, we had a big protest in Quebec City where local anti-immigration groups wanted to do a show of force... they were about 200 of them, we were several times more than that. Throughout that day a couple of elderly people got beat up by antifa one of which was actually part of the anti-racist crowd and part of the antifa protest all along... made national news, was ugly and the day was a big part of my taking distances from such movements.

it's complicated and I'm dumb but it's an American libertarian principle (not policy) that's a kind of "anyone can do whatever so long as they're not being actively aggressive against another person or their property in doing so" and this replaces police and the state and such. these flavours of right wing pro capitalist anarchy are extremely sharply against what anarchy is usually defined traditionally and globally, a hardcore revolutionary left wing political movement.

it's like assuming that Republicans would have a lot in common with Irish republicans.

It also separates aggression from self-defense so if you feel oppressed by someone then you can attack them and it's fine. This is what soverign citizens think, that laws and police break NAP so they can be dicks in response.

Bronze Fonz
Feb 14, 2019




Not sure if this is a universal thing but in Quebec circles there's this concept of "diversity of tactics" where basically if your peers are doing something incredibly dumb that hurts the movement you're still expected to go along and respect their right to do something dumb that hurts the movement.


e: "respect for diversity of tactics" to be more precise.

They mean this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle

In this lens pretty much anything a government does is violence as they use force against people who have not caused physical harm for theft of private property. (guess which they think is more important!) Libertarians usually cite as anything you do to stop me doing what I want is a violation, such as taxes or regulations on how much mercury is allowed in baby formula, but anything I do which may cause harm is just the free market.

It also fuels things like the people that want Ross Ulbricht free because he was caught in a sting, so there was no victim so there was no crime, among other dumb arguments. You may be surprised that things like age of consent, pollution, and corporate fraud are up for debate among such people.

Sorry for the derail but why do people get so hung up on age of consent?

Are they just assuming they can gently caress any 15 year old they want and the only thing holding them back is prison time? Are they constantly running into kids who want to gently caress them but they are all like "naw, age of consent, yo!"

It's such a weird rock to die on. Why would you even want to gently caress a little girl anyway? poo poo, even 18 and 19 year olds are still effectively little kids.

I swear, this country has completely lost its collective mind and everyone is going insane in different ways. And there are still people who think it is savable or even worth saving.
