I just looked at the source of the share and went down the rabbit-hole, oh boy.

Looks like some standard anarcho-primitivist manifesto of reasonable things like "world hunger is bad" mixed in with "how dare you educate my child, GOVERNMENT! :argh:"

Let's start off with a reasonable one:

Boilerplate anarchism, could be good guy hippie or could turn into :ancap: NAP crazy.


Looking more like :ancap: NAP crazy.


Don't violate my NAP by forcing my children to learn how to hate! My eldest just said that he hates trigonometry, three years ago he didn't even know what trigonometry was "SCHOOLS"! :argh:


Now with added fluoride. I learned in chemistry class that there are regions of the world where the groundwater has naturally high levels of fluoride ions, and how that helped us learn of its effects. I always enjoyed chemistry because it gave me a break from Hate class either side.


As seriously ill people will preferentially visit drug dealers this makes good statistical sense. :pseudo:

So, this is an argument for Full Socialism then? State ownership of everything and everyone lives on handouts? That's pretty much the antithesis of taxes and it would make the state income separate from citizens' income.

Except then the "government" can make you go to "school" and learn "facts". They hate corporations as much as governments though, and have a few things about how terrible world hunger is, so they might go for anarcho-communism.

I'd put them down as generic "hisss leave me a lone lads" if it weren't for giving a poo poo about other people, so I figure some kind of primitavist.

Nothing wrong with getting kids to grow carrots or other easy foods. Not everything needs to be job training.

Honestly it gives kids a chance to actually do something that produces something real. They can grow a baby tomato that is just as good as the one you can buy in the store, and it was their work that made it happen.

I remember growing beansprouts in biology, and doing it as part of an experiment where we showed how light and different minerals/pH levels affected plant growth. A food was grown, a simple and cheap experiment was performed, we learned something about the scientific method.

If crazy forward guy's argument was that schools are often underfunded and teach too much to the test rather than giving kids hands on practical time or exploration, even if the lab is a few plant pots on the windowsill, I'd be in full agreement. Instead it's about how the drat governments are teaching my kids to hate instead of restricting themselves to the tools they need to be a yeoman farmer.

Home grown tomatoes are arguably nicer in some ways because you can vine ripen them while store bought ones tend to be picked rather green.


As very cool as that is, I do like not living in a hut made of mud.

Or at least I like the very refined mud that is brick and plaster.

Same reason why people say, "Remember the Alamo" to poo poo on Mexicans, "Remember the Maine" to poo poo on Cuban, and "Remember Pearl harbor" to poo poo on Japanese.

Personally I can't wait until I'm walking into a middle eastern joint to get some grub and some whiny vet is throwing a fit because his wife or kid wants some shawarma. "Never forget 9/11!" he shouts as he leads them both away to Denny's for a Lumberjack Slam.

I overheard someone talking just yesterday about how they didn't understand why no helmet laws were ok, but no seatbelt was against the law.

He wasn't advocating FOR helmet laws, he didn't want the government telling him that he had to wear a seatbelt.

I have a friend who is on many levels a lovely person, but a) somehow got into some weird thing where she's like cosplaying a conservative, like the Onion article about the hipster who spends 15 years working at a finance firm and is annoyed that nobody realizes he's wearing a suit *ironically* b) popped out a few kids and became the worst "AS A MOM I know what's best for my child".

My sister who's a sciency/stats type about murdered this friend because the woman insisted that the government had no right to tell her she had to put her kid in a child seat instead of holding her in her arms, because AS A MOM she knows what's best for her kid. My sister tried explaining that statistically it's really obvious that in an accident parents holding children tend to lose their grip and splatter their kid against the windshield. But cosplay conservative friend gets all indignant about "well *I* am quite sure I could hold onto my baby in an accident and how *dare* the government imply that I can't".

Cue a long-running string of similar dumbassery, neighbors calling CPS, undiagnosed learning disorders, and five kids because she and her husband refuse to use birth control. I just want to shake her and say "you have a drat M.A. and are clearly brilliant, and you had a grand old time running around playing Masquerade and getting gangbanged by goth guys until you got married at 25, so can you drop the pretenses?"


I dunno, maybe *I'm* the dumb one and I'd derive much greater joy out of life if I just willfully ignored all logic and reasonable values embraced the contrarian bliss of snarking at people for telling me I'm an idiot when I honestly know they're correct.
