If someone told me to shovel pig poo poo and my needs were taken care of, and I was treated with respect, I'd do it. I've had worse jobs that didn't cover my needs.

Ok, if I lived in a society where my needs were taken care of and I was respected and I saw a pile of poo poo that needed shoveling, I would gladly pick up a shovel.

I've already dug ditches for hours on end for no reason other than it benefiting my community and maybe a payment in the form of a thank you if I was lucky.

I mean do what ya like and that makes sense, it's basically every serious hobby anybody has tbh, just recognize that there isn't any social contract because a decentralized and horizontalist structure has no way of ensuring of defending those rights and comforts

I think the "anime appraiser" tweet specifically was a joke, but there were a whole bunch that were about as dumb and werent jokes.

Combo Reddit Moderator/Internet Anarchist being a deeply embarrassing moron sex pest is so predictable its 100% why they were booked on FOX. No feds needed.

These anarcho-transhumanists and other super-tech anarchists are the utter worst. There are some anarchists I can work with, even if I disagree with them, but... seriously, those guys are one of the worst real tendencies* in any branch of leftism.

*as opposed to the various rightwing fuckers like nazbols or ancaps.

I'll work with the black and red, the black and green, most of the black flag types, but the blue can gently caress right the gently caress off.

anarcho transhumanist types are the most hilariously stupid to me

like who do you think is gonna get first access to these treatments, and what do you think they're gonna do with them? lmao have fun protesting or whatever sad sack poo poo decentralization allows

Epic High Five posted:

Until we achieve full communism, all treatments and technologies that provide for advanced lifespan at a fiscal cost should be opposed by all means necessary without any reservation or mercy, the technology and laboratories smashed and the scientists whisked away to communist bunkers, it's absolutely insane to me that this isn't obvious to everybody

Eclipse Phase has to be the most hilarious self-dunk anarchism has produced - their leftism only works because of an idiot embrace of stupid in-universe magic tech that makes it so the space hell virus that chaos dunked their civilization a decade ago will eventually reach an unstoppable cascade.

And the only thing really holding it back in their space? The intel service of the weird creepy scandi fuckers using them as a meatshield against the final terrible form of neoliberalism in the inner system and a literal horde of unaccountable deathsquads that have made a devil's bargain with a bunch of uncontrollable AI godlings.



edit: Good grief, I hope the 4 thieves vinegar collective have given up, because those idiots are gonna get someone killed before they stop otherwise.

as this escalating crisis unfolds, does the CSPAM tank club offer our advice? or do we just sit back and let the drat thing collapse?

offering advice would be admittedly difficult. whereas karl marx hinted that economics drives history, our black-clad postmodern rivals urged that it was "representations" that did it. history, they said, is the story we tell ourselves, and as fox news is driving the story now, that puts r/antiwork in a pickle. so if we do offer our advice on their terms, i'd suggest the following:

(1) hire attractive spokespersons: r/antiwork will need a PR operation substantially larger and better-funded than their combat capability. that's where adolf hitler went so wrong, for example.

(2) no matter what r/antiwork is doing or why they're doing it, they must project that they're fighting for freedom. repeat variations of "liberated zones," "freedom fighters," "forces of democracy" and so forth. if you believe it, and it polls, it's true. in the end, hunkered down in his bunker with a pistol to his head, hitler kept forgetting to say that he was fighting for freedom. what an idiot!

(3) the situation is never out of control until you say it is. never say it is.

(4) project your victory as inevitable, due to the shape of history itself, which has always been spiraling inevitably toward your victory. that's why oprah always wins.

(5) hire attractive spokespersons
