Even if not, you can be!

“Man there are so many checkpoints ok first one check second one check third one check fuck there is even another column of checkpoints fourth one check yeah I’ll probably check them all let’s just have a quick little look at that big interesting blob at the bottom and then I’ll finish those checkpo… Fuck you” *never actually finishes reading everything

In an Anarchist world, it would be traumatized/autistic people like me running around with guns and shooting everyone who so much as touches another person on sight.

Genuine question: Why? What circumstances in an “Anarchist world” would cause this behaviour?

Or the other way: If you feel like this, what in our current system stops you from acting out?

The other guy said it perfectly:

There’s a bed there, and there’s a human being sleeping on the ground.

It really isn’t more complicated than that. Any explaination why this person is not allowed to sleep in this bed or why this person should not be able to sleep in this bed is absolute bullshit.

There’s a bed there, and there’s a human being sleeping on the ground.

While I see your point, this could be extended to people doing dangerous sports for fun, eating unhealthy foods or engaging in any activity where one could get hurt.

As a human being with my own rule over my own body I have the right to do with it as I please.

If I want to consume addictive cancer sticks until I die a slow, painful death, I have the natural freedom to do so, and laws, taxes or fines won’t stop me until I’m really locked away.

So I support other peoples freedom to smoke. It is just inhaling smoke from burning plant matter, which may be an irrational choice, but is my choice.

But, automating work and eliminating jobs should make people’s lives… better?

Sure, but not yours or mine, it seems.

These were questions to ask yourself, to think about what really matters.

Wants do not equal needs. I might want to have a superyacht, but do I need one? Am I entitled to one? If I work “really hard”, is it fair that I get to spend tons of resources on my superyacht, while other people don’t know how to feed their children?

Yes, other people might want luxuries and technology, too. But is it fair that these luxuries / wealth are accumulating in the hands of a few individuals while there are people in the world who literally live in the dirt without a roof?

Maybe, if I wasn’t allowed to have my superyacht, we could improve living conditions for a lot of people, prevent people from dying etc. It is a distribution problem, and in a world of limited resources, we should strive to provide a more or less equal amount of wealth to every single human being, instead of a few guys having superyachts while others can barely afford shoes.

Also, since you wrote “free country” I assume you are American - I really cannot understand how someone could in all seriousness believe that they live in a free country. This is not a free country, you are not free. Sure, we can argue about the definition of “freedom”, but from my point of view people are not truly free when there are economic constraints, you can get shot because your skin does not have the right color, because of your sexual preferences, or even just because you have a fucking multicolored flag outside your store.

I don’t see myself as truly free either, but at least I have the possibilty to choose to do fuck all with my life, never working a single hour, never providing anything of “value” to society, and still I get provided basic necessities and an monthly income which can finance a basic life. I will not die because I can’t afford a doctor, I will not get shot because I am in the wrong neighborhood, police won’t approach me with drawn weapons if my skin is a little darker.

Now this got way too long, but maybe someone might read this some time and think a little bit about wants, needs, “freedom” and superyachts.

Is there an inherent need to have something like “businesses”? Do I have to be rewarded? Do I need all those niche products provided by those businesses?

Humans exist for a very long time. I am quite sure our ancestors survived pretty well without businesses, rewards, incentives, cosumerism or capitalism. Edit: And without billionaires. Especially without billionaires.

Most of the time, these things are not quirky, not positive and some people experience real hardships in their lives because of ADHD.

It is great that you can take responsibilty for your actions and self-regulate, but some people just can not do it. It just does not work.

This is really hard to understand for people who can just “do the things”, but you don’t have to make fun of people who just can not do it because their brains do not work this way.

Also, you can just be nice, don’t comment and just continue scrolling. You don’t have to be mean on the internet and if you really want to say something stupid, maybe think about it for a short moment, realize that you gain absolutly nothing by doing it and, instead spend your time with more positive things.

Someone who lets his employees piss in bottles because they don’t get breaks, someone who uses his excess wealth for unnecessary luxuries, using up an unimaginable amount of resources, preventing other people from using them, someone who lives in his billionaire bubble not giving a fuck about people or the environment - someone like this deserves just one thing.

Nothing is happening. There is absolutely no reason to change anything. Now go back to work.

I feel quite hungry lately

I will never understand how people can treat other creatures like this.

And then still eat them.

Well my drop zones evolve to piles, and then there’s just piles of stuff. But at least I always have a rough idea in which pile the currently desired item is.

I think a good drop zone is limited in size, so it just isn’t possible to endlessly pile up stuff.

Right now, I have a small table, which collects all those random things - and when there is no more space to put another thing, I put everything I didn’t use for some time into boxes.

Now there’s boxes full of stuff, but the room doesn’t look cluttered or messy. Progress!

And the next step would be to regularily sort through those boxes and throw stuff away… Someday. For sure.

I really have the urge to paint a rock now.

Right? They always say “this will be done so fast and it won’t be so bad and you will feel better afterwards” but while it may be really done fast, it just sucks so much and I hate every second of it and afterwards I may feel that I accomplished something, but I still remember how much every second sucked and probably will still keep procrastinating the next time.

We are not that special. And if we were, it wouldn’t matter anyway. We are just going to kill ourselves.
