Don’t forget 🇮🇱 and 🇷🇺

Strong agree. If blocking also means they can’t see your posts or comment on it, then that becomes primarily a way for trolls to attack and block anyone who disagrees with them

I tag first

Get Revanced and you can also block shorts from the UI completely, on top of no ads

Arrrrr

Could you elaborate?

Scam Altman hallucinates more than his AI

VLC, notepad++

No man. Second time running into you on this very topic on a 7 day old account. I’m going to tag you.

What if you’re born here and don’t work?

It’s identity verification.NNo more anonymity. The wet dream of marketers and autocratic governments alike

Why wouldn’t that logic apply to cities within the same country? You also have areas where people move away and other areas people want to go within a country, and governments just deal with that. It still works. They’re not putting up border checks and stopping people from moving into the municipality

I think the nation state borders being different has to do with nationalism and racism more than economic policy. Borders are fine for delineating jurisdiction, but when used to control where people can go, they are good old tools of oppression

Those proper channels are designed to keep out the poors. The whole system is fucked up

Not a serious answer, but restricting travel anywhere is such bullshit. I can buy a house somewhere in my country and move there, pay taxes, get a job, nobody would complain. But if I move to another country and do the same, suddenly it’s a problem or something? Why? I want everyone to have freedom of travel anywhere.

Too late for April fools. No way you sincerely hold this belief

People didn’t know this?

Thank you, nice quote.

I do think the hierarchy is the problem, not only who is in charge or how they transfer power. There is always tension between “give the people in charge enough power to get things done” versus “now they have too much power and are corrupt”, but by that point you cannot do anything about it. Democracy allows dictatorships to form in the name of government efficiency or the democratic will of the in-group majority.

If you rotate leaders, you will sooner or later rotate in the dictator. Ruling over others should be unacceptable across the board. This is what anarchists fight for. You can fight for that even if the system you’re living in is predominantly hierarchical. You don’t need to dream about a revolution that never comes, it’s all about changing people’s mindset over time.

The point of anarchism is the rejection of hierarchy. If enough people reject hierarchy, they would all be on board with not filling the power vacuum. That’s why establishing anarchism is much more than getting rid of the current despot. It has to be get rid of all those with power over others, get rid of the concept of hierarchy, get rid of wealth accumulation as power concentration, get rid of anyone even trying to rule over others. They would have no support with anyone, because everyone knows power corrupts and we’re not taking any chances. Nobody should desire to rule over others, if (1) nobody listens to you, (2) people will fight you, and (3) you, like everybody else, knows it’s morally wrong

I’m not saying all of this is practical, but that’s the idea. Dismantling hierarchy is difficult, but still not sufficient to establish anarchist society. People would just build a new hierarchy if not convinced that hierarchies in themselves are the issue

Wouldn’t you do it the other way around, where the car you own is for commuting and kids taxi, and you use a car rental or sharing service for the long trips?

I own a Dacia, I want a cheap car with no luxury. But but the Spring is just a bad car. Poor charging, poor range, can’t accelerate at highway speed. Those are not luxuries. It was the first electric car at this price range, but now there are better competitors.
