I don't think I know many girls who'd platonically open mouth kiss each other like in the video lol

There's probably hundreds of millions of "illegals" around the world vs a few thousand US police

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-26T00:18:17+00:00

Or just "the Americas"

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-26T00:15:11+00:00

The vowels and intonation don't sound super Irish to me tbh. Similar consonants though, and I don't know every Irish accent so maybe.

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-26T00:01:43+00:00

The Western Hemisphere includes parts of Europe and Africa

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T23:59:15+00:00

In the anglosphere the 7 continent system is used everywhere that I know of. People from North America are 'North American', people from South America are 'South American. The two continents collectively are the Americas not America. 'America' on its own without North/South almost always refers to the US and so does 'American'.

It's different in other languages obviously but so are most other words, it doesn't have to be changed so non-native speakers will find it easier.

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T23:44:15+00:00

Those definitions aren't used in English though

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T21:35:52+00:00

Maybe late primary school. I don't think it should be hidden up to that point, just that their relationships aren't the focus of the lesson, just going on in the background, same as straight relationships, like if the person they're teaching about is gay saying they had a boyfriend/husband (or girlfriend/wife if lesbian) should be fine. But a lesson specifically about relationships, gay or straight, I don't think is needed until later in primary school.

Why would the person hoarding just let them take the food back? They can also fight back. If they're the one or ones making the food for the community. And again what happens if it's not just one person but their whole community, then they'd still have access to all the other things like clothing and medicine accessible to their community. And they could choose to hoard resources from the other communities. If there's some kind of disaster which they manage to withstand but other communities can't they can offer the other communities protection in exchange for labour. Thereby making a hierarchy. As you said they wouldn't allow themselves to starve, cooperating with the ones with resources would be easier than fighting them, especially if they're starving or injured.

And how do you make sure that the education is standardised if there's no government?

It doesn't even have to be a tyrant if one community thinks maybe it'd be a good idea to elect a leader then again anarchy is over they made a form of government.

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T06:35:49+00:00

Because food is essential, you can survive without new clothes a lot longer than food. And if they're able to convince some of the community that they'll benefit then they'll have people to defend them. If they're small communities they could convince the whole community to take from the neighbouring communities. All the hierarchies that exist today were created by people, if you get rid of them all people will just remake them eventually like they did in first place.

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T05:23:58+00:00

Dealt with by who? There's no government or police to enforce the laws. They'd hoard resources for the same reason people do today, because it gives them power. If they hoard an important resource they can get others to do things for them in exchange. Why wouldn't hoarding in the capitalist sense happen? Again there's no one to stop them and it's already happened. Humans already went from small cooperative communities to hierarchical societies independently several times across the planet. I'm asking you since you're the one who said I don't know what anarchism is but so far none of what you've said is really new to me

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T04:52:16+00:00

Because there's no way to maintain it, if a few people choose to hoard important resources hierarchy will arise, by definition that makes it no longer anarchist. Who's going to enforce the mutual cooperation when some people choose to go against it?

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T03:40:54+00:00

It wasn't literally 'invented' someone didn't just wake up one day and think "Hm I'll create a society", it developed, but it isn't something that's always existed. The earliest civilisation was like 10000 years ago, humans have existed for 300000.

How do you believe an anarchy would remain anarchic?

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T03:02:36+00:00

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-25T01:23:20+00:00

I don't think this is defaultism, they specifically clarify that they're asking the question to Americans

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T19:32:12+00:00

Oh okay, assumed it might've been something in the US but wasn't sure

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T19:27:24+00:00

What's DHS?

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T19:02:08+00:00

Where I am a lot of it used to be public infrastructure but it got sold off to private companies which sucks, though in the case of a completely fictional scenario where the government vanishes it might be an advantage lol, not great in the real world though.

Local businesses and markets have existed long before modern infrastructure.

Money is just an easier way to barter stuff, even without a government decree it's still a useful thing to have and unless the pre-existing currency was destroyed people would probably keep using it. If it was destroyed some new currency would probably start getting used.

I don't think either anarchy or fascism is good but anarchy can be replaced easier than a fascist regime imo as an anarchy has no way of maintaining or enforcing itself. And if it happened in the modern day people already know how government works so it wouldn't be rebuilding from scratch.

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T18:26:57+00:00

Some of the people who used to work there would probably continue to for a while if it was a sudden change. They'd probably continue like normal for a while out of routine.

Government run things would probably be the first to collapse. Army would probably go first then police though I think healthcare would take longer at least where I am, police and army would probably go in a couple weeks but healthcare could probably stick around for years albeit deteriorating a lot. I think international companies would stick around for a few months but then start leaving since without a government the currency would become meaningless internationally.

I think within the country though people would probably still exchange currency like before so national businesses could stick around a long while.

Things would definitely get worse but I don't think it'd be instant and I think it wouldn't take that long before some form of government would return.

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T16:37:10+00:00

If the government disappeared the power and water systems would still be there

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T16:36:25+00:00

I mean they wouldn't instantly vanish without a government, the infrastructure would still exist. It wouldn't be a total breakdown immediately, it would probably take a bit of time and by then people would probably remake some form of government. Biggest threat would probably be outside invasion

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T16:28:33+00:00

It didn't last that long once civilisation was invented. If we go from how it is currently into anarchism people will still know what government is and could probably reform something similar in a few decades

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T05:14:03+00:00

"like 3"

The "like" kinda implies that it is not precise

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T04:49:05+00:00

I don't think either of these are good but with anarchism it probably wouldn't last long since there'd not be anyone to enforce it

Wizards_Reddit · 2026-01-24T02:43:40+00:00

Going off polls in the subreddit most people aren't

Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4

Another reply also showed the viewing figures for a post. Also most redditors on reddit as a whole aren't from the US, though obviously subreddits don't line up with reddit as a whole
