All the anti-state stuff seems destined to create white worker's paradises, which are poo poo in every way possible. I was told by an anarchist that during the Russian Revolution, the (anarcho-communist) Free Territory was one of only like two factions not to do some pogrom-ing on the side, and the only one to actually punish people for doing pogroms. I admit though, it wasn't an unbiased source, and I have no citations. And it is worth noting that the kinda sorta anarchists in Rojava are probably the most tolerant of the factions in the Syrian civil war. Not exactly a high bar to clear, but it's still something.

Pembroke Fuse posted:For me, Manga/Anime has had a weird transformation. When I started reading/watching it in the late 90's and early 00's, it seemed like a more progressive genre willing to explore adult situations, female empowerment (of sorts), different sexualities (when I was a teen I didn't realize that hot lesbians didn't count) and subject matters that seemed outside of the western norm. In 2017 it seems like the exact opposite, with western cartoons/comics pushing the boundaries (even stuff like Steven Universe is super transgressive in many ways), while Anime/Manga languishes in a sludge of ancient and lovely stereotypes of fanservice, titninjas and tired AF tropes. A number of western cartoons were boundary-pushing and transgressive in the 90s as well, at least on TV. Looking back, it's surprising things like Rocko's Modern Life or Ren and Stimpy were ever allowed to exist by the studio heads.

You'd need Cronenberg to do some of the events of WWII justice in that format. The Nazis and Soviets ripped Poland in half and fought over the remains, do they depict that literally? How about Vichy France as a half-eaten zombie, trying to fight the Allied Magical Girls or whateverthefuck as its own organs rebel against it? You'd have to get dark with it. I'm going to guess that isn't what they did.

Guavanaut posted:Also 'aggression' means immediate subjective violence only, i.e. violence committed directly by an identifiable actor. I punch you, I steal your property, I detain you without your consent. It makes no allowance for indirect violence, like I put up a series of billboards declaring your ethnic group to be witches and pedophiles, and so someone burns down your house. The arsonist is the only one that violated the NAP, I merely exercised my freedom of speech and purchased advertising space for an agreed upon value with the owner, the arsonist should have done more research first. This extends to the point that some ancaps defend hiring a hitman as not being a violation, because you personally didn't do anything to hurt that guy, the person you hired did.

Pembroke Fuse posted:Any interesting/detailed examples of this? Basically any example is going to sound like stdh.txt, but the basic idea is to act well meaning but confused, and make them be the one to point out the bigotry directly. If someone tells a racist joke, instead of calling them out for being racist, act like you don't get it and ask them to explain it. The joke might revolve around the idea that black people are lazy, but they most likely won't want to say "it's funny, because black people are lazy" out loud. These things mostly work in every day conversations, rather than formal debates like the "Sargon vs random liberal" thing.

I feel like a big chunk of it comes from the fact that they never had to come up with their own arguments in the religious debates. Most of them just borrowed points from previous (better) thinkers, or intuitively noticed bad arguments, so they never actually learned the critical thinking skills they should have been developing. Then another set of arguments runs afoul of their intuitions, but this time it's due to their own privilege rather than the argument being flawed. They're not prepared to critically engage with the argument or examine their own biases, but they are prepared to echo each other's arguments and drop sick logic burns, so they go with the path they've always known.

Differing opinions is one thing. I can talk with anarchists and marxists and progressive liberals because they all fundamentally agree that everyone is deserving of basic respect and dignity, they just disagree on the way to do that. But even saying nothing about straight up Nazis, modern conservatism demands, is built around, getting to pick and choose who deserves respect and dignity and who doesn't. That's not differing opinions, that's a fundamental rejection of basic morality. How do you get chummy with someone once they've crossed that line?
