@TimothyImholt Every social media platform maps to one or more of the deadly sins. Twitter/X maps to wrath like IG maps to vanity and Tinder maps to lust. When you go to those places, that's mostly what you will see, but it's not reality.
@Nothsonv1@Nyarus15Oskarek@SteveScipio You're intentionally misunderstanding. Find your nearest ghetto and join a gang, you'll very quickly learn if you really are the Ubermensch and how limited and retarded power-based cultures are. You need power to have a civilization, but it's not the most important part.
@Nothsonv1@Nyarus15Oskarek@SteveScipio Everyone here is so obsessed with power y'all sound like Marxists. Power = civilization like raw cotton = a nice jacket that fits perfectly. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, we made a damned good one, we just got gaslit into neglecting it.
@CyberSecurity__ I'd argue he isn't accounting for the marxists hammering away at the foundations of that order for over 60 years nearly unopposed. Hell, most ppl still think commies are as real and impactful as the boogie man.
@Nothsonv1@Nyarus15Oskarek@SteveScipio Yes but hegemony != empire. It's not the possession of the power, it's how one uses it that makes the difference. The one thing I've learned from this whole convo is that basic civics is no longer taught in school.
@CupasTopNigga@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio Being homeless did stop Diogenes. I've been dirt poor and homeless before. Set a goal, make a general plan, work your ass off towards it, be ready to pivot or modify your plan every other week because life loves a good curve ball.
@beardedcakeman@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio lol, and now youre doing it, too. he made a non sequitur reply, dodging and reframing which means the debate is over. at least he tried. since ur so verklempt about this, what are your thoughts on The Republic? The State of Nature? The Leviathan?
@beardedcakeman@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio might makes right is the "beginning of wisdom not the end..." socretes famously wresting with this topic in The Republic, he skipped over all that and went for personal atracks. just like you.
@beardedcakeman@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio the meme is "might makes right", my reply was "that makes 3rd world shit holes", he replied "govts use power", i quoted mao because that was his argument, too, he said, "its just a joke bro" and then kept saying that. none of that lines up with what you described.
@beardedcakeman@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio I'm not. Dude tried to made an argument but couldn't respond to my rebutal so he did the lame "lol, it's just a joke, bro, y ru so serious?" and I didn't let him get away with it.
@TheMindjacked@SteveScipio Which kings and dynasties are standing today? Law of the jungle creates Africa. The whole arc of western and eastern political history is building a society that isn't Africa but y'all a deadset on regressing because you having personal power makes your nethers tingle.
@CupasTopNigga@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio Those are ppl, not organized groups ... but I suppose that's antithetical true anarchism which is also why it will always fail. Don't get me wrong, I want a world as close to some form of libertarianism as it can get, but reality and human nature are heirachical, which sucks.
@ChaserTheFatty@ambrosecarol2@SteveScipio Show me where that's happening beyond a few anecdotes (not including the ATF shooting dogs, everyone agrees they're scum and they've been doing that for decades).
