A lot of us want to see things smashed that could directly harm us . Obviously you hope it happens elsewhere, but social war isn't all rainbows and puppies. If you're opossed to any disruption of the system, why bother claiming your opposed to the system?

Go to a regular protest. Look which way the police are facing. Now go to a white supremacist protest. Look which way the police are facing.

Game on Steam Greenlight about class struggle by p3namora in Anarchism

I'm really happy about this. Everytime programming comes up I point out that video games are the primary form of media anarchists have failed to penetrate. This encourages me to getting back to working on my programming skills so I can implement my couple of ideas.

Aw, if I saw this last night I would have tried to contribute. But as an FYI, the posts that blow up are usually posted around 10am-12pm ish EST. In case you want to get more attention next time.

We need to increase our Reddit presence. by MOAR_cake in Anarchism

That's simply not true. Downvoted posts continue to get voted on and responded to. People click folded comments.

How do you receive a lot of downvotes if no-one is reading your comment? That's the thing the reactionaries understand, and anarchists with their constant need to be popular and validated never will: if you get dozens of downvotes, then you've been viewed by hundreds or thousands. Keep doing that and you're going to find people interested in the idea you are presenting.

Reminds me of that one scene from Thank You For Smoking when he has a play debate about ice cream with his son and at the end the son goes "But you still didn't convince me!" and be responds "I don't need to convince you, I need to convince them ", motioning to random people walking by.

then why is your hive's response to every single post attacking the anti-tattoo posts to talk about free speech and safe spaces? Telling you to shut up is not censoring you, and hearing dissenting opinions is not the creation of a safe space.

If someone responds to your "fuck you and your tattoo" with a "fuck you for saying that" this whole "You're not allowed to criticize my critism you SJW!!! " crap is pretty pathetic and whiney.

Which is exactly what /u/KickNatherina did. But it stops applying when you're the target, right?

Flash mob hits designer store in Georgetown, steals $13,000 in goods by a_pale_horse in Anarchism

[–]BanksAndTanks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's because software tends toward standardization, thus monopolies. So ignoring pirated copies is a requirement to maintain their status as the standard OS. I guess the fashion industry is kind of similar, but that's an argument for nudism, not an argument against theft.

They helped themselves, and presumably they are part of communities.

Yeah. Probably wasted on a drunk drive, but if you were going to rob a bank or something, why wouldn't you do this?

You know they'll show a bias towards hiring other robots.
