  • That’s because our societal structure doesn’t reflect reality. Here’s the reality: the government is a tribe, a gang, an institution. Give Burger King guns and badges, say they dictate human behavior now, and you get the same results. You all are so caught up in this mythical “big picture”, but the reality is right in front of you and under your feet. And that reality is anarchism. Nobody is coming to save you faster than someone can stab you and bounce, and if you check on your elderly neighbor who had groceries delivered a little too long ago, you’ll save a life faster than any social programs. Embrace the reality that we’re being picked on by these bullies we call institutions and business, check on your neighbor, pick up some litter, and punch a mofo in the mouth when you’re disrespected. We’ve developed tools for social cohesion over billions of years far more refined than your rudimentary moral and systemic frameworks. Use them, dummy. Not you, specifically, all of humanity.

    Schools are for indoctrinating children, guys. Train them to fight their biology, conform to a factory setting, and have knowledge presented as something frustrating and difficult obtain. You guys just want them indoctrinated the “correct way” from teachers s stupid and out of date as you are.


  • Man, people are so fatalistic and utopian in their world views. The fact is that we are beautiful, wretched, capable creatures, and life is a fight. People are gonna beat you down, and the world is gonna shit all over you. Whether we’re watching people do their fucking war games and playing monopoly with the world, we rise up and punch a bitch in the face when he fucks with us. Anarchism is a way of being, and we’re clever as fuck. We’re gonna work this shit out and jump over hurdles and get into ugly arguments and love our family right. We can convolute this shit and try to work out the fantasy worlds we would love to live in - at the end of the day, we try to fill our bellies and be loved. And 9 times out of ten, you’re not arguing with the world, you’re failing to confront yourself. How do prevent hierarchy? We fucking stand up to bullies, protect ourselves, and treat our women right. Feel me?







  • Broadly gestures at the world

    I’m going to add to this. Any homogenous system you suggest rejects the subjective nature of morality, and needs to be enforced through force. Unevolving, nonreactive, subject to rule by the majority. Consistently, we see that civilians favor policies most of us would agree with, but money interests prevail. I’m the Soviet Union, beaurocratic interests prevailed. That’s just what you get with centralized power, and humans needing to fulfill a role to provide for their families. Try to rally your neighbors in your immigrant community that black people shouldn’t be allowed in. Then, try to rally them around lowering rent. Finally, try to convince a piggie (the long arm of billionaires) to literally negotiate a single thing, or show up in a timely manner, or not forge documents.


  • That’s a decent idea. But, here’s another one: there’s no objective morality, obviously, but we do have a thing we can point to. Community collaboration, and the instincts we’ve developed as primates. We don’t need to be involved in international trade deals. We need to check on our neighbor when a grocery delivery is rotting in front of their door, or show up strapped when some loud motherfucker causes is causing issues. I propose that any semblance of objective morality lies in our genes and us being social primates. This whole civility thing is nothing but gaslighting authoritarianism.
