    Claim is ok, the unspoken “so everything will collapse” is bullshit. In the end, Hampton is right: “work (do what someone else wants) or starve” is not how anyone should live

      work (do what someone else wants) or starve" is not how anyone should live

      That’s literally the bedrock of civilization… It has been this way since Sumerians.

      And normies still can’t quite figure it out

      All that history in school, nada

        We done slavery for at least a long as there has been civilization. That doesn’t make it good.

            No one is denying shit. We’re stating that our systems dont have to be based on coercion. It is possible to build a society off of cooperation instead. Denying that is denying that we made this shit up and it can be how we want.

              Calling american wagie a slave, will get you kicked out of the party lol

              Most people are denial. Fediverse is not reflective of modern American discourse.

                I dont give a shit what most people think. Its a fact not an opinion. Our systems are built on coercion because we’re just making slight changes to them over time. Thats why they are that way. It has nothing to do with the thoughts that talking heads plant in the average Americans’ mind.

                Edit: reading this after posting I would just like to clarify that I am not trying to be pointed or angry with you. It comes off that way tho. I really do mean we have the choice in how our societies operate.

                  I don’t take online discourse personal, all good.

                  really do mean we have the choice in how our societies operate.

                  I don’t even disagree here in theory… In practice, it is hard to explain it this way though.

                  We are ruled, and our opinions mean nothing and most people are unwilling to do any opposition.

                  So it is just few freedom enjoyer doing their lil direct action while scream into the fedi void while we are increasingly being subjugated by the owner class.

                  And the normie sees nothing wrong and thinks the freedom enjoyer is the weird one.

        Lol. Aren’t you cold there, at the peak of mount of scholarship?

        It hasn’t been like this around Ramana Maharshi, just to point one name you can look into. And human life and possibility have never been about just sustaining body till it drops dead.

        Oh, my little know-it-all, you say plenty of people have been living like that for plenty of time? Good catch, take a candy, good boy
