the state as an idea is bad yes i agree. but there are better and worse states, and if i have to live in a state because us anarchists can’t organsie well enough to create a state-less society, then i’d rather live in a better state rather than a bad one
just me

shneancy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?English51·3 days agoin a way i think yes. in the dark ages at least any insane cults and ideas couldn’t spread far. if your village or castle happened to have dark ages version of ben shapiro then his words aren’t going to go far (unless they infected the local ruler as well, and even then it’d still be contained within your area, or your country at worst). If you were on the receiving end of insanity you could always just kind of– pack up and move to another village, walk 30km away and you’re like a new man! Worst case scenario find your way to a port, fuck off to another country - passports or border control did not exist, passage was often granted for free to those able bodied that joined the crew for the voyage.
obviously i’m romanticising here a bit, modern medicine and technology makes day to day life easier. but it also makes other things much harder. our privacy is going extinct at an alarming rate, freedom of movement across borders belongs to distant memories of our great grandparents, (unless you’re french) your protests will be ignored and/or vilified, and if you dare care about other humans and speak up about it you can be labelled as a terrorist in some places
i do truly hope that those years of unrest aren’t here to stay…
idea: we do the whole leftist infighting thing after we win against the common enemy, deal?
shneancy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Adult games hit once more, as Valve seemingly denies Early Access to games with mature contentEnglish0·17 days agohonestly good, from what i’ve noticed adult games are waaaaaay more likely to become early access abandonware, i guess once the horniness runs out so does the motivation. and i’d like to finally play a game that’s horny, good, and finished. i may be into edging and denial but only consentually, ok?
i was flabbergasted when i first heard americans have security & armed guards at schools. the closest to that any of the schools i went to had was cameras watching the doors and overweight PE teachers
on one hand if you take the character of jesus as an individual with opinions he was very based
but on the other hand in the context of the bible - he is the incarnation-ish-thingy of the one who created and perpetuates a binary system of good and evil, and as a narcissistic judge, jury, and executioner to him being “good” includes in major part worshipping him and only him. which is not very based
so i pick hell out of spite
