Fuck it, I’m an anarchist, sortition is the only democratic form of government and y’all let pride, ego, and status keep you from human solidarity.

Look y'all if they shoot me and say "Oopsie, we didn't mean it" just burn the mother down.

@whstancil My observation is that the moderate/liberal mindset prioritizes comfort and self-actualization. I think some folk, these folk, just shut down at the idea of conflict, and speaking like this is conflict. If you're mealy-mouthed about it no one needs to feel urgency or conflicted

@_asmodai @steverogersass @IwriteOK Who cares? Focus on practical results of your actions and how they help people and the situation

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart These are good things, I'm happy that you can imagine what you'd be able to do in a world without compulsory work. It's the first step to breaking Capitalist Realism's hold on our minds.

@hoebiscus I just be listening then I kinda talk to it like it's a child: "I hear you, we're not going to do that but you can sit here an enjoy the ride"

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart Okay, cool cool

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart And really you should slot into some shit you enjoy doing and are good at, maybe learn some new skill too idk. I'm not your boss nor would I be in this hypothetical

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart And that's your right, I don't really care

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart I should say "atrophy" rather than "die" actually

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart I'm sure you're an interesting and fun person. Why wouldn't you want to at least know your neighbor's names? What if you need them? What if they need you? We're a social species, we literally die in isolation.

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart That or we figure out how to live without metals from the mines. This type of gotcha assumes that any life that has less commercial consumption than the present is an inherently poorer one which is again, solipsism

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart Asking for the people who want to work in the mines to work in the mines and pointing out if we run out of metal that we need people to work in the mines. This is not hard.

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart Someone has to work in the mines regardless (until we fully automate that shit) and you'd rather be forced into it than figure out how you can contribute effectively to the project of your own free will? I guess the psychic wage of potentially becoming the boss is a high one.

[Ian “Grind Before the Boss Fight” Kirksey @das_bone]

@lbuprofin @RobbieJohannson @dread_numen @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart It's like saying " I'd rather slave away in the mines 16hrs a day for an infinitesimal chance that I could become a god-king than work cooperatively with people in a way that doesn't require me to do insane hours"

@lbuprofin @Empireofone2 @BenBurgis @NateSilver538 @TheStalwart Dawg where are you even pulling this? Humans were predated upon my numerous other species from hyena to tigers to snakes, to large birds and a plethora of other species that went exticnt because of previous climate change... like human dominance of the planet is very recent.
