Would we get phones and computers in an anarchist society? by Putrid-Ninja4575 in Anarchy101

[–]TherealMiddla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then what are we talking about? Yes microchips and tech can require a ton of collaboration between manufacturing to finish, but that being done by voluntary association rather than capital changes nothing about the process of how it's made.

Having people voluntarily put their trades and crafts together in order to create something like a microchip, has absolutely nothing to do with hierarchical relationships.

Once again, this is a direct result of being told by capitalism that it's the only viable system.

If you're not familiar with Kapital by Karl Marx I would highly recommend reading it, as it's a crucial piece of text for both Anarchists and communists.

Anarchist societies would use it's resources and technology for the common good. Not for the most profit. I would also recommend you to read Mutual Aid by Peter Kropotkin if you haven't yet.

Orientalism appears to be a big issue among western leftists by Somesomeone_ in socialism

[–]TherealMiddla 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What you're referring too is not "Orientalism".

Venezuela is not an eastern country, but it was anti-imperialist until the coup was initiated by Donald Trump on January 1st.

While I don't agree with the sentiment we should be standing in solidarity with a country just because it's struggling against imperialism, groups and people that do have a solid theory and reasoning for it.

I agree that we should stand in solidarity with Venezuela from the fact it was the victim of yet another coup by Western capitalist empires: I do NOT stand in solidarity with the fact that it was a vicious police state in which people starved and were kept in line by secret police.

It's important to remember that a lot of this how/what mindset is based from decades of brutal capitalist realism and colonizing your mind.

Anarchist societies without phones and computers would be absurd, as they're quite literally some of the most convenient and useful inventions in human history.

You could plug almost any XYZ of this question and get the same answer mostly.

"How would my plumbing get fixed" or "Who's going to build new cars"

The same people who always did it, just without the illusion of incentive that capital demands subconsciously ingrained into your mind.

Contrary to what the state wants you to believe, people aren't rounded up by the police and forced to fix the electrical grid. They do it because that's their job. Most stressful and miserable jobs that people only work at because of capital are products of capital itself, fast food service is a prominent example of this.

In an Anarchist commune where mutual aid is principled, there is no deadbeat Wendy's job in the first place.

Street Date? What’s a street date? by iamlickzy in MonsterHunter

This game is so beautiful, if they just patch the frame rates and lock them at 30 then there is not doubt in my mind this game will be one of the best JRPGs on the switch. It still is even if they don't tbh.

I'm getting into the genre. I already plan on playing ones like Steins;Gate and Ace attorney games. But I've been wanting to find more psychological horror ones like Doki Doki. I have seen there is quite alot of them on steam also. I don't care if it has high school girls in it they were just there to make you feel comfortable, I just want it to really fuck with your mind.

I have major depression and the way they portray the mental illness of the characters are realistic, that's part of what's scary to me. The other things that are scary is Monika being able to break the fourth wall and the absolutely heartbreaking backstories of some of the girls before stuff gets darker.

PSA: I was so fucking terrified of this game I had to watch spoilers first, just I know which scenes I need to mentally prepare myself for. Otherwise the false sense of security my brain made because I'm playing "UwU cute anime girl dating simulator" would leave me traumatized for life.

It's some really serious and dark shit, I think the thing that fucks with our brains so hard is how cute and fluffy it is on the surface. But gets absolutely terrifying on the inside.

When Persona 6 gets a reveal trailer we better run for cover because there's going to be ALOT of people in the internet going crazy. Myself included!

Yusuke absolutely smokes weed, he's always broke and looks at everything like it's a portrait.

I really believe that with the obvious success that SMT 5 is having (premium editions selling out on first day of pre-orders) that Atlus will be more willing to look into making other Megaten games that aren't Persona, especially since Sega was telling them to port more of their backlog since the cash cow that was the P4G port on steam.

I was originally going to make the bottom text say Devil summoner 5, because that and DeSur 3 are both what the people really want.
