You're not a real shaman if you've never tried a psychedelic.
Why do some people who oppose big tech and talk about peacefully resisting them at the same time support a large powerful Government? and in this case, its monetary monopoly.I've seen European socialist on Mastodon say things I strongly agree with about big tech tethering people to centralized cloud software and subscription fees, and how it sucks that the entire world is interdependent on big techs cloud services. But then they follow up with how only the Government can save us from big tech. They act like Government is just another word for the people or community. They have no interest in alternative economies and opting out of the system. This naitivity needs to be brought to light. No need to intimidate anyone, just ask why Govenment is asigned the role of a savior.Also the reverse argument applies to libertarians and agorist who hate Government but falsely believe big tech and patent monopolies are a free market. Like the morons at Reason.org
>>107699153I meant reason.comThey wrote a disgusting article about how big tech was a victory of the free market. Ignoring big tech's patent and ip hoarding and government lobbyism.
>>107698520Monero is the only non-scam crypto
>>107698815Psychedelics are a crutch, and I don't recommend their use. Everyone is crowding the phone lines.
>>107699153>a socialist being logically coherent for onceyou realise that the whole point of socialism is that there is no (need for an) alternative economy or system?thats our gospel, from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needsif you dont fit in, thats a shortcoming of the system
>>107699153All their so called beliefs only exist to give the scum in government more control over the people. You can't reason with pedo worshiping traitors, they think you deserve to be a slave.
>>107699982no self respecting socialist trusts any of the current regimes
>>107699931But you do have systems rather it be Karl Marx's dictatorship of the proliteriat, Peter Kropotkin's decentralized node based gift economy or Democratic Socialist countries like Norway. You described a system.Many of you mistakenly use the words "community" and "government" as if they are the same term. You realize the capitalist are corrupt but assume Government can solve their damage. You falsely assume Government is represents the people's will or at least can do that. I don't think a anarcho communist non-reciprocal gift economy will work to well at all in the real world. The reason FOSS works is because its actually a lot more individual oriented them people give credit. In reality FOSS is a system where developers engage in reciprocal favors to one another and those favors trickle down for communities to enjoy. The digital commons do exist but they are D I G I T A L, anyone can make a copy and paste of LibreOffice or GIMP. You can copy and paste free software infinitely but you cannot copy and paste tangible food and houses for people to live in. Sharing non-tangible copyable assets in the commons is very different then sharing things that are susceptible to scarcity and require continous labor . Trade and division of labor have been around probably sense the dawn of agriculture and markets and prices are ways to make sure labor is not cheated like those ants holding the world for nothing.Either we normalize paying for feature request and use rational self interest in FOSS or become like the ants in the picture.>>107699982enough with the qanonsense, their beliefs stem from a misunderstanding of authority, a naitivity that Government and community are the same thing and economic iliteracy. They do not hold malice. You are making a strawman. Also Trump is an idiot who supports a authoritarian government.
>>107700050>making this many assumptions about someone youve never meti shouldve seen my mistake much earlier, theres no sensible discussion possible with a namefag schizomea culpa
>>107700093I'm going off what is known about demsocs, ancoms and marxist. and just describing the naivity of ancoms and marxist.
why would they deny themselves access to a (pretty large in the tech space) revenue stream? are they retarded?
