The reason I’m not an anarchist is that in the centuries before the Americans with disabilities act people could have all installed safe wheelchair ramps in all of their buildings and they didn’t.

If you’re trying to make a system that relies on people being nice I’m not gonna go with it.

Some things

  • No I don’t hate anarchists. Despite largely disagreeing with them I think some of their ideas are worth looking at
  • Yes I’m pro-union and pro organizing
  • No im not a capitalist or fascist
  • I know more about anarchism than a lot of you seem to think I do
  • The way some of you describe anarchism to me just looks like the political structure of Switzerland actually
  • Tribal societies do participate in warfare and social higherarchies
  • I’m still not anarchist after all of your explanations and I stand by what I said because like I said above I know more about anarchism than a lot of you seem to think I do
  • Some of the way y’all describe how justice would work in an anarchist society just sounds like lynch mobs

#you. you keep talking#whenever someones entire plan for an entire country is “People will be benevolent” i refuse to take them seriously#anarchism

???? The people in your anarchy are the same people as the ones in your democracy. They’re not just the four people you get along with at your anarchist food kitchen (which is great! Keep running that food kitchen!), they’re also everyone else currently under the government you want to remove. If your community isn’t benevolent and wise and pro-active enough to bring in your oppression-free and resource-abundant utopia with a democracy then they’re sure as fuck not going to do it with anarchy.

What they’re likely to do with no government is what humanity has always done every time they have no government in a group too large for everyone to know each other really well, which is form a government. Which if you’re really, really lucky, will be closer to the ‘democracy’ end of capacity-for-oppression than the ‘dictatorship’ end, but there’s no guarantee of that.

“nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life” ok. well…

“nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life” ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

what my atoms are doing is their fucking business man i’m busy trying to stop my dog from eating tissues directly out of the box

nuclei don’t touch, but the nucleus is not the core of reality. reality is made of electrons dancing. reality is made of bonds.

you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.

electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur, and both are changed by the contact. you are not made of little motes floating alone in a void. you are a single unfathomable chord formed of a trillion vibrations, and so is he. and the note you play is changing at every moment by what you touch and how you breathe, and so is his. and atoms do not really have edges, and to touch is to interact, and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.

and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.

I’m very curious about how you voice Marazhai. Can you drop a tutorial? A few tips at least? ????

Hello naihiko,

Sorry to take so long to reply to you – I’ve been trying to figure this out.

The best I can come up with is this:

If you want to recreate Marazhai’s voice at home, all you need is the board game Articulate (must have the spinny middle bit in tact – in fact, the spinny bit  and the egg timer are all you need, just rip the former out of the board)

Begin by setting the timer going, and then do an impression of Mark Hamill’s joker, but badly and British. 

When the egg timer goes off, spin the spinny bit. If it lands on:

green)  add a bit of grumble to your voice, reset the timer

orange) hiss, constrict your throat, reset the timer(don’t overdo the constriction or you’ll hurt yourself)

red) laugh maniacally, then GOTO green.

Rinse and repeat.
