that's the way. not ironically or sarcasm. leaders aren't our allies, they are intrinsically antagonistic to the public.
we must elect who we will fight against. then keep the pressure on them.
might elaborate later. can't write an essay rn.
~~leaders~~ rulers
not all rules are bad some are lesbians
Semantics: an absence of rulers doesn't mean an absence of rules, and those are lesbian but not lesbians.
yhea, you need at least two of those for them to be lesbians, not even semantics just grammar
Like slides rules?
Friend just made a funny. I like funny, especially when it has the bonus of teaching me something new. No need to harsh on that buzz.
They're also teaching you that "anarchy means no rules"
Oh jesus christ.
Cant yall motherfuckers chill out?
I get it. You would love to live in a utopia where nobody ever, ever, ever, tries to grasp for power. So would I.
But.... come on. Reality is a sonofabitch. And maybe you should try and live in it every now and again.
At no point will we ever experience someone not trying to grasp at the roots of power.
Yeah, but we could live in a society where those people grasping for power just for the sake of power would be shunned and cast out. Cause that’s how it used to be according to historian and philosopher Rutger Bregman. Admittedly, that’s been some long time ago, but still.
What a naive take. Wow.
Dad was always taken aback by people who lust for "power". LOL, he was mad at people who designed parking lots to herd us around!
But I get it. A leader has to have some bit of narcissism to say, "I can do this. I'm smart and capable enough to take the reigns." Comes with the job.
Perhaps consider reading a few Wikipedia articles about anarchism. Have a pleasant day.
I agree, to an extent. If you decide not to support them because of one thing though, and decide you won't change your opinion, that isn't helpful though. If you aren't winnable then you don't matter. You need to hold them to account, but not be so strict you're a waste of effort. You need to be a target that they can actually hit, or they will move to a group that is winnable (or they'll lose and you'll get their opponent).
