Which is why we have decades of medical science that has gone to great lengths to discover these things. They can’t be seen by the naked eye but they can be seen with a strong enough microscope. We know they exist and we know what they cause. We know how to prevent that from happening.

Yet these mouth breathing troglodytes have been conned into distrusting science on a fundamental level.

Cant vote your way out of a fundamentally oppressive system.

Ah fuck you’re right

Every collective will always have to prepare for and content with oppositional actors. Sadly, this is a fact of life. Anarchist theory is well versed in the concept that the state will inevitably retaliate as the existence of an anarchist society threatens the perceived hierarchical structure that state authority is founded on. If people understand they do not need to acquiesce their political autonomy to an arbitrary authority to ensure stability in their lives, the state loses the power it has over the people.

Anarchist society is founded on mutual agreements between individuals or groups of people acting on consensus. Just because a society is anarchist doesn’t mean people are absolved of responsibilities. It is specifically that those responsibilities are taken on willingly and not coerced by arbitrary structures that only serve to oppress one for the benefit of another.

Congratulations, you have discovered the starting point of anarchist philosophy. Please, read further. It’s good stuff.

“Rule of Law” is itself a form of tyranny. It is nothing more than the dictates of a hierarchical authority, originating from the authority of kings, trying to assert its control over others. It is a fundamentally oppressive system that can and has repeatedly throughout history been used to facilitate the oppression of marginalized peoples.

And then there is Andor…

Just to say, they were still semi-anarchist in nature, but not in the modern sense where it means “chaos” rather the political sense where it means “absence of hierarchy and horizontally-structured self-governance”, which is representative of the confederated nature of the Flying Gang where the different crews were considered equal and all had a say in their governance, based in a mutually agreed upon code of conduct. Within the crews themselves, captains were more like delegates who were chosen to take on leadership responsibilities but were at the whims of the crew. Power came from the bottom up, not the top down. If a crew was displeased with how their captain led the ship they were well within their right to depose him and appointed a new one.

Anarchism is not the bad “chaos and disorder” that the ruling class would have you believe.

Really wish more people understood this.

Also, retire early

Lol, what a pipedream. People these days are lucky to be able to retire at all.

Nope then you just get overwhelmed with your lack of access to basic necessities because our society is structured to where, if you do not overwhelm yourself with arbitrary responsibility for the sake of generating profit for owning class bastards, you apparently haven’t “proved” that you “deserve” to live.

The German “Carpe Diem” basically

Agree. I don’t know if it’s reality or if my mind is making things up, but carbonated beverages have a lot more of that fizzy feeling when closer to sea level, and that is the entire reason I drink them over other beverages.

I have lived both in the mountains of Appalachia and below sea level in New Orleans.

Tone down the misogyny bud. You’re oozing it.

Billionaires and reactionaries are the state. They are the ones who created it in order to control others for power and out of fear of what they don’t understand, respectively.

People need to abandon it and unite under our own social structures that aren’t built on the ruling class’ hierarchy of wealth and perceived status.

Bro… Bizzaro is a character from the Superman comics… xD …it ain’t got nothing to do with being Italian.

Except it used to be … And can be again

What is right for the spider is wrong for the fly.

Right/Wrong is subjective and entirely depends on the surrounding circumstances of those involved and how the action in question affects their interests.

I mean, yea, that’s how the economy is kinda designed.

In the employee-employer relationship, the better you are as an employer at manipulating others into working for you while you retain ownership of the revenue, paying employees out percentage of what they generated as a wage while keeping the excess value as profit, is how you make a successful business.

The business-consumer relationship boils down to a transaction where you want to be the one who has the advantage on the transaction. Sellers want to sell their products for more than they’re worth while the consumers want to buy those products at a discount of their perceived value. The seller’s entire job is to manipulate the consumer into perceiving more value in their products than the base material value of the product to generate a revenue that exceeds the cost of its production to generate profit. That’s like the basis of advertising and marketing.

Yea, not anymore considering they dropped the gag at the end of S5 and they are now beginning their 27th.

Ugh, I hated the shoehorning of Butters into the group dynamics during Kenny’s absence. Rubbed a lot of fans wrong to the point the backlash forced writers to change the ending of that season and bring Kenny back.

I too wish they would have kept the joke going. Or at least occasionally make reference to it now and then.
