@HeavenlyPossum @mu anarchist opposition to democracy is not about “exclusion of people from decisions that affect them”, it’s about the fact that once decisions are made they are *enforced*, even on those who disagreed.

5 wolves and a lamb can all vote on equal footing about what’s for dinner, and the outcome will still be oppressive. how do you avoid this problem under any system recognizable as “democracy”?

i like keeping a few relatively normie leftist friends on facebook because sometimes i get to rip apart some landlord-defender or cop-apologist that i would otherwise never encounter.

the best part about Baldur's Gate 3 is that you can make your character's face, voice, body, and dick as feminine or masculine as you want, they're all completely orthogonal

i know this cis-ish bisexual man who is a social worker and a leftist. the entire time i’ve known him he’s been a little edgy about like, men’s rights apologism type stuff. but now that he works in a post-prison “rehabilitation” context it’s getting steadily worse.

social workers are cops. they’re kinder and gentler and they can’t shoot you, but they believe all the same stuff cops do, and they can absolutely send you to prison, make you homeless, kidnap your children, or otherwise destroy your life, if they decide that’s in the best interests of the state or themselves. even if they got into social work to help people. even if they still think they’re helping people.

just like cops.

having to deal with physical health and mental health problems simultaneously is homophobic

is there a good unified explanation for why the price of so many things are massively higher in real, inflation-adjusted terms than they were 50 years ago? houses, medical care, educations, light aircraft, all cost 5x-20x what their equivalents did in the 1970s.

it literally costs 50% more in real terms to buy a now-ancient, wrung-out 1975 Cessna 172 than it would have cost to buy that exact same aircraft brand new in 1975. what the fuck. houses of course are even worse, costing many times the new price for literally the same house but with 50 years of wear and tear on it.

what the fuck is going on and how do we stop it so i can learn to fly real airplanes.
