    1. is ironic because that’s exactly how mega corps vote
    2. Peasants (as you said) wouldn’t be able to get their break without
    3. that’s a needed. 100% agree
    4. what about people who are already consuming the bare minimum? What are they supposed to do?
    5. 100% agree
    6. 100% agree
    7. wrong. That’s a privilege. Privileges can be taken away. Freedom is the ability to retard and expect repercussions or advance humanity in a civilized manner. What you are referring to is anarchy, and anarchy doesn’t have to be bad. It puts the power in the individual with no government influence. However anarchy relies strictly on human nature and dependency
    8. 100%

      How are they getting a break now?

      As for 7, we are talking direct action? i am not following this response.

      what about people who are already consuming the bare minimum? What are they supposed to do?

      there is always room to improve consumption patterns… low hanging fruit is high processed foods. this can be driven two zero without any serious consequences. that’s more of my point here.

      You can’t stop eating tho, no doubt, but you can chose what you eat.

        Yeah, but we’re talking about the possibility of a utopian society. It’s completely theoretical at this point. You are talking about the logical here and now. What do you want for people in the future?

              i think we disconnected somewhere. but yeah the idea of direct action is to leader by example until critical mass is hit which would finally yield better QoL

              just got to make sure direct action is actually fighting the right enemy, currently working people are fighting each other mostly.
