    Let’s not forget that we didn’t get any form of gun control in the US until the Black Panthers started walking around with guns. They absolutely do NOT want minority groups armed. If a racist, bigoted group doesn’t want you to have a thing… you should probably consider having that thing.

    I mean, they are building giant concentration camps across the USA right now.

      A lot of people on Lemmy would call you a turbolib for saying something so radical

        I get called a lot of names on reddit, it only empowers me and tells me I’m doing something right. This site is filled with the most hand-wringing, roleplaying, sheltered, naive segment of performative leftists and literal children out of all the content aggregation forums I have accounts on.

            They also hate being told that good outcomes are still possible with work, effort and… the most dreaded, scaaary word of all, socialization. This is one of those tumblr-spheres of kids who think their asocial depressive episodes are an identity and it has gotten me in more than a few scuffles. They sure don’t seem to have problems confronting strangers when their comfort-patterns are on the line.

                Good post. You won points by being both self-described anarchist AND realistic about what’s really happening in the world.

                I always say that about my belief in a borderless world or a world where socialism is the peak-goal for any system so that every person has equal opportunity. I know they’re pure fantasy in the world we live in now, but I still hold those things up as values, this helps me communicate consistently about what I want for the world, even if it means achieving only small parts at a time. That’s fine, just so long as I am part of that message that says “I want this better world.”

                  I may be practical, scientific, and overcome neither by pessimism nor optimism, but I would not describe Myself as realistic. In fact, I oppose realism, which I use to mean the belief that the world has an objective nature we should seek to understand. I believe the world is subjective in nature, and that we should manipulate this subjectivity to the benefit of all thinking beings.

                  We should sell pharmaceutical grade placebos at the chemist shops. We should employ traditional and radical magical healing alongside material healing. We should believe in the gods and myths of all religions. We should perceive trans and otherkin people as they wish to be perceived, rather than putting the burden on them to present as they wish to be seen. We should have a subjective multiverse with free travel between subjective worldviews. A home for everyone, no matter how strange.

                    You sound nutter. YOUR world is subjective, but we live in a shared one and you can’t hand-wave that away. I can’t make out what you’re trying to say in the first paragraph, but the second confirms it.

                    We should sell pharmaceutical grade placebos at the chemist shops. We should employ traditional and radical magical healing alongside material healing.

                    No, I want a better fucking world without magical thinking and bullshit “my feels are as good as your vaccine.”

                    I knew a child who suffered severe brain damage because when he was 10 his father took him to a fucking shaman instead of a doctor for meningitis. Get the fuck out with your bullshit fantasy world, or keep it yourself while people who understand the universe actually build something that gives protection and health to our communities. I don’t want to talk to you, don’t bother replying. Go be a person in a subjective world yelling on a street corner about robot pigeons.

                    Don’t have kids. Please for the love of fuck don’t have kids.
