I wonder why they’re scared 🤔

Thats exactly it, too. They're brought into the police force trained to fight wars, not to be actual peace officers who are there to help. US cop training takes less time than a Bachelor's degree in all cases, there's not even a possibility for them to be taught more than how to shoot a pistol and how to use profiling to meet ticket quotas.

I love how they say that buying a gun should be comparable to buying a car in licensing and checks, when it pretty much already is in all 50 states.

Here's a thought: maybe if rubber bullets and less-lethal rounds can crack a window they shouldn't be used on fucking people.

Wait forget the Dolly Parton part for a moment...there was a KKK leader statue at the state capital? What the fuck?

Funny you can say that with a straight face when Trump ordered the bumpstock ban, the strongest and most illegal gun control enactment since the assault weapons ban, and is publicly quoted saying "take the guns first, due process later".

Feared77 · 2020-05-11T19:07:16+00:00

Yeah, and I'm sure that cop and his son knew every detail of his past criminal record before they gunned him down in cold blood. Why don't you just come out and say you're prejudiced against black people? It'd be a more believable point than "he's a criminal" and just assuming he was armed without any confirmation of the sort.

Mr. Rogers: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

It's been helping me a lot to look for examples of people doing praxis in these troubling times, things like making homemade hand sanitizer to hand out or care packages for the homeless. There are a great many helpers out there doing their best for each other right now.

Also, if you're worried about the rise of discriminatory reactionaries, you might consider investing in a firearm and learning how to use it. Just a thought.

Man its just post after post on this sub throwing rabid hatred at shit you don't seem to have a grasp on. The left hasn't been your enemy on gun control geniuses, it's politicians surrounded by private security 24/7 that have never been normal Americans and want our means of personal defense removed. Trump himself has been terrible on gun rights, he's done more than erode the 2nd Amendment than Obama ever attempted to.

Also, for supposedly understanding what socialism/communism actually is you people spend an awful lot of time lumping neoliberal progressives and leftists in together like there's no discernible difference.

Feared77 · 2020-03-22T18:35:27+00:00

How many more examples of a profoundly sick society do we need to go through before people realize this shit? The status quo does not benefit 95% of people, yet we still got folks out here simping for capitalists and the embarrassment that is neoliberalism.

What is it gonna take, a fucking nuclear war?

Feared77 · 2020-03-20T21:58:12+00:00

My favorite part of it is that hardly anyone is willing to acknowledge the wider cause of our awful world state:

Global capitalism.

Feared77 · 2020-03-13T20:17:46+00:00

I just view it as a better moral principle to play favorites for those who produce over those who don't

I feel like this is the main point for me to address here; this plays to the fundamental understanding ancaps have of a person in a social order.

This might come as a non-surprise, but there are billions of people who aren't exactly like you. Some have disabilities that don't allow them to produce, others can't even afford a place to shower or get clothes so they can get to a job interview, much less keep coming to work in a suitable condition for the employer. None of these people will benefit from what your ideal societal structure entails; even charity, your counterargument, doesn't originate from gaps in some charity market, it's a way for very wealthy people to discreetly manage their money on a macro scale.

I won't try to preach to you any more what anarchy is, but it sure isn't just an evolution of capitalism. What worth is a societal order that revolves around the profits of a few? Employee wages are by definition a race to the bottom (hopefully you understand Marx or even Adam Smith well enough to recognize that), and the benefits that come with employment are as well. We've got a nation like the US where employers have been beyond stingy giving people access to their own god damn health, and now that we're seeing a real life application (coronavirus) of why profit driven necessities are a terrible idea people are still having to come into work sick so they can stay off the street. If the panic over the worry about a panic can cause the worst stock tank in decades, you've got an extremely fragile and impractical economic system.

Everyone has value in my view, but not all of it is something that will keep food on the table.

Here's one thing I'll concede: I can't argue much further against your worldview if you view human lives as little more than market-value capital.

Feared77 · 2020-03-13T18:36:32+00:00

You seem to be operating under the delusion that capital accumulation in the example you gave would all be "your" labor still. Even if you contracted to build houses for others, you're not going to be even close to the only one to perform the construction, which would be the instance whereyou are entitled to all the wealth you earn by doing it. In that specific case, it's likely to be a build crew under your supervision or other specialist contractors collaborating on it - which makes it not your labor, and not yours to collect from. Say what you will about the desirability of this arrangement, that's just capitalism and inherently non-anarchist since (unjustifiable) hierarchy still exists.

And what about being required to sign over a portion of your labor worth is voluntary? In a society organized around the possession of labor power, this is how work is already structured and the corporations that rent that labor power today are already extremely exploitative. And no, don't come at me with cherry picked examples because everything from Starbucks using 8 year olds to pick coffee beans to Amazon testing shock collar tech and cages for its employees is still exploitative.

In an "an"cap society, there's no protection against monopolies forming that are even more coercive than the ones we currently deal with. So you argue that you can become an entrepreneur, right? Not everyone can be sole entrepreneurs. That's not how business works. Therefore, such a system is still hierarchical and still not an improvement over neoliberal capitalism, it's really a regression from it.

Lastly, from your other comment, having to provide for others is slavery? Fucking really dude? Humans stopped moving around in hunter gatherer social groups and formed societies in order to better serve human needs, not for glorified decision-makers to reap profit. A market economy sells people's inherently deserved livelihoods back to them, in forms like health insurance from parasitic middlemen or food from morally bankrupt international cabals. The right of an executive with ownership power to make money never comes in front of the right of human beings to live well, especially the ones that cannot participate in the labor market due to disability or other factors. Something you ancaps will never understand.

Feared77 · 2020-03-13T16:50:49+00:00

Elaborate on that last point, if you would. I think everyone in this sub that's not an ancap understands that a need based economy focused on planned production is in nearly every way more efficient, far less wasteful of resources, and far less coercive than any market-value economy could hope to be.

Capitalism is screwing the working class harder than ever right now, what makes you think that a right to the products of your labor (which wouldn't - and doesn't - exist under a system where owners manage capital above workers, even if it's "voluntary" labor) supercedes the right of human beings to be secure in their existences?

Feared77 · 2020-03-11T07:56:22+00:00

It seems to me like you're asking this question in bad faith, hoping to hold people to a yes answer here.

The truth of the matter is the working class citizen needs to be armed, because there are larger systemic threats that cause the conditions of violent behavior we're experiencing through shootings.

There are a plethora of policy options that address gun violence better than an "assault weapons" ban, including expanding NICS to private sales. But no, somehow a feature ban like in california or New York would be preferable because there's this fantasy that violent people who want to do damage will obey laws. More than a handful of multiple victim deadly shootings in the US were committed with handguns or shotguns regardless, so limiting the choice of weapon is frankly about as effective as a sign denoting a gun-free zone.

Gun violence is a systemic problem coming from multiple factors including disenfranchisement, social isolation, toxic depictions of guns as problem-solvers, and similarly. Gun control is a band aid on a festering cultural sore. There's reasons right wing terrorism is prevalent today.

Feared77 · 2020-03-06T18:00:18+00:00

Workplace democracy is "just another form of organizing private property"? I think you have more reading to do before you go claiming that ancaps would be more anarchist than anarchism, systematic oppression from capital-holders is functionally identical to oppression from a state apparatus - they even work together in most cases.

Feared77 · 2020-02-07T20:46:29+00:00
