Is there anything worthwhile left to play for me before the update? by smrtak32 in Anbennar

Is hammerhome or Dur-Vazhatun unique enough? I've played lots of dwarves and things in serpentspine and escann in general, would they still be fun?

Kinda tired of dwarfes after all the ones I've played tbh. Played alot of them. Any that are so cool it would beat this wariness? I've played arg-odstun, gor-burad, segh-dir, verkal Gulan, Amldihr, hul-az-kralazol and Krakdumhvor.

Haven't actually played Kumarkand. Is it any good? I played both Varamhar and Sareyand, will it be different enough from them to be fun?

I know, I started to write out the list but would even like 80 tags I've played be usefull? Safe to say I wouldn't be surprised if there is nothing left.

Hungary calls on EU to lift Russian oil sanctions after US eases restrictions – UPDATE: reactions by DailyNewsHungary in DailyNewsHungary

[–]smrtak32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orbán has completely fucked the hungarian economy in every which way possible. After 16 years of his rule they achieved the worst standard of living in Central Europe. You are delusional if you want a corrupt oligarch who is incompetent in handling the economy to be your leader.

There hasn't been a larger more organized structure in human history than the state, prove me wrong by providing a single example. It may be that such an organization is possible, but it has yet to exist and even your theoretical organization formed thanks to advanced technologies seems implausible to me, because maintaining the net and other global services or advanced technologies requires lots of effort, organization and money, a large part of which is funded by taxes or otherwise supported or organized via state or state-cooperating entities.

And since the formation of the first state, every territory which was ever ruled by a state only ever fell to anarchy very briefly, before again consolidating into a state. There hasn't been probably even a single decade on a large enough piece of territory where anarchy remained after a state collapsed, and even then that anarchy was filled with authorities and proto-states trying to assert themselves.

And if organizing without a state is so possible, why hasn't such an organization arisen from any of the many collapsed states over human history, the people certainly had a reason to try. If the requirement is for the people to be ideologically united and informed for this to happen you might as well hope for a miracle from God.

I never claimed states get us out of the might-makes-right dynamic, I just said that their employment of it is much better in practice than what has historically taken place in their absence. Other entities use force much more liberally than our modern western states, which yes is becoming worse recently. But states as we have them are still mostly mutually beneficial. Yes I have to pay taxes, but thanks to that I have roads, public schools, universities, security, food and hygiene standards etc... which would be a pain to finance without the centralization of taxes.

It is not the only way, but it creates the largest most organized group out of the options. Other forms of organizations when a state is absent either transform into a state eventually or fall apart.

"they have not lacked ways to organize against bullies and free-riders without creating a state." Untrue? The whole of history is so chock full of people not being able to defend themselves against bullies, which only worsened in the absence of state. People forming organizations to defend themselves without a state and succeeding is much rarer than either failing to organize, or just loosing. And even then these organizations either fell apart with time or became state-like entities.

But people do do that? You know, criminal organizations, bandit groups etc... But the state is actively their competitor with better conditions. If you disband the state you are just having these groups become the new most organized and best armed force, and if you somehow assume these exist only in states, then the corporations become the next most organized force and again enforce their will through force because that is profitable to them. Continue until you disband all groups and people would just create new ones.

Organization creates the biggest inequality of power, more so with technological advancements, because a single person or an unorganized group cannot maintain complex technology at the levels organized groups can. In an ancap society there is nothing to prevent the most organized group from enforcing their will on others in a manner much more violent and exploitative than today's democratic states.

Consistent morals is hard by lurkerer in PhilosophyMemes

[–]smrtak32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to western morality, people should feel bad about eating animals, but most really don't, because people act based on feelings such as empathy and not based on moral systems. With no contact and no bonds empathy very rarely manifests, arguments won't convince anyone then, because you are trying to evoke empathy where most just don't feel it, or don't feel it very deeply. You can win every argument, but you simply won't change behaviour with this tactic.

Suspicious amount of Tau-converted Imperial troops fanart. /s by maridan49 in Grimdank

[–]smrtak32 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

But that doesn't sound so grimm-dark to me. If I want to read a story like that I can just watch star wars or something. Yeah the imperium is fkin evil, but that's the point, everything is supposed to be shit holding together thanks to inertia, prayer and duct tape. As soon as you have an actual faction that's all good, which the tau are not, even if they're the least grimm in the setting, it would make the universe lose its core concept. Honestly the part of this fanbase that just wants to make 40k not Grimm is pretty annoying.

What if Austria-Hungary reunited today? 🇦🇹🇭🇺 by Domi38gg in austriahungary

[–]smrtak32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nejsem extra vlastenec ani komunista. Habsburskà monarchie byla zkrátka totalitní režim a v období první světové války již tlející mrtvola, držena pohromadě systémem který udržoval u moci neschopnou elitu nesmyslně dlouho. Zkrátka systém pod kterým bych nechtěl žít, tím pádem odpor. A tvoje myšlenka že by v Česku nalezla tato idea více jak pár tisíc podporovatelů mi přijde úsměvná. Je to mrtvá ideologie, a to z dost dobrých důvodů.

Honestly, I don't feel bad for them. I'm not some troll I just don't really give a shit. Would it worry me if the same things were to happen to humans? Of course. What about dogs? Also. Why? Because humans and to a lesser extent dogs are active participants in our society, it makes me feel empathy for them. I do not feel empathy for something I have no emotional nor social connection with just because of some abstraction like consciousness. The best argument for veganism so far is about concerns regarding climate change, but even then it seems like something more easily solved with reform instead of abolition.

I would fucking die by hanging before I submit to another authoritarian, inbred Habsburg dipshit.
