💯!!! Calling out conflation of bitcoin’s ability to provide free market rails and people thinking their agreement to consensus means it’s suddenly belongs to them enough to tell others how to virtuously act with it while claiming any form anarchism.

Yea I would expand on Lyn's original comment to be many libertarians and anarchists are really just collectivists of various stripes. They are just rightly disillusioned with the uniparty, and latch on to something that hits some of their beliefs but not being philosophically grounded, always get hyper tribal and run back to Daddy Gov when shit gets tough or whenever some politician tickles their fancy (see the Milei and Vivek slob fest for what I mean).

Exactly. It’s understandable and unfortunate but definitely a better to and fro than what normies see as a to/fro between left and right versions of statism.

The way I see it, anyone who at least gets to the realization that the system is fucked, just not sure how to proceed, has potential for the next steps. And when it comes down to it, there are far worse ideologies out there than a genuine conservative leaning.

Gradually, then suddenly

One of my favorite memes. Kinda fitting for the topic😂😎

Love it!

I had long said half joking half serious that anyone not an anarchist is a communist to some degree. Then came across this about a year ago. It was perfect

More or less, yeah. And at that level you’re left with ancap or agorist, if not pure anarchist - any of which takes more marshaling of personal responsibility than most would prefer, instead opting for society carrying them. Entropy is a bitch.

Anarchy is disentropic, both voluntaristic anarchy and violent anarchy.
