The horror of choosing not to coerce or threaten others with violence? What the mob does or does not acknowledge is irrelevant to what an ideology is proposing. Mobs also don’t care about peace and order yet that’s what most people want. You’re making an assumption of what would happen if the state didn’t have a monopoly on violence. You are also disregarding that protection/security is a good like any other which can be sourced in the market as many businesses like banks, department stores, private schools, etc. do today. What does not have to be assumed is the horror and body counts of communist and socialist countries where the state has an even greater monopoly of coercion and violence than in western democracies. I grant that many people today are more than okay to have a government coerce and commit violence towards groups they don’t like. Voluntarism is not for everyone I suppose.

Okay boomer

me today: is a 6 yo too young to have a phone? the shit that’s allowed has shifted tremendously

Why is it always old ppl that are most comfortable being naked in public? No one wants to see that. I mean I understand how they don’t care anymore but it is still shameless. Put a towel on, gramps

You missed a letter. Arkhos meaning ruleR would make the translation “without a ruler”, which is a very different proposition. Not to let a word derail the main point I was getting at, voluntarism is better than coercion. The state has a monopoly on coercion and violence, one can be for that, but there is no way to morally justify it. Democracy literally denies the minority. I’m advocating for voluntary interactions as opposed to those needing coercion or the threat of violence.

Let's be brutally honest just to make nosy people uncomfortable.

Vitamin C: The Carnivore Death Spiral

The dominant theory of carnivore diet regarding Vitamin C seems to be that 1) Vit C competes with carbohydrate so you need much less (by orders of magnitude) when you cut out carbs completely and 2) Fresh meat has some Vitamin C.

I think carnivores fall into a vitamin C trap one of a few ways:

1) Eating meat which has had the Vitamin C denatured, such as cooked jerky or fully cooked sausages.

2) Eating "animal-based" foods like honey (which has a ton of sugar and only a tiny sliver of Vitamin C. I think this is why Paul Saladino went from carnivore -> carnivore + honey -> carnivore + honey + fruit.

3) Eating processed meats which have had sugar added, such as lunch meats, jerky or sausages.

4) Eating sugar-containing dairy like plain yogurt, cheese, and milk, especially if pastuerized (denaturing any Vit C).

5) Occasional cheating with sushi rice, "keto" candy, or other carbs. I find this particularly easy to do since I regularly meet my adult family for meals at restaurants.

I think the human desire for sweetness is at least partially a pursuit of Vitamin C.

I believe I'd become deficient in Vit C due to a combination of the above factors, and I'm now making an effort to 1) do a one-time load of C with kiwi fruit, 2) cut out any remaining carbs from my diet going forward and 3) if I do "cheat" in the future, focus on doing so with fresh fruit or eating some high-C fruits to offset the carb impact.

As I understand it there are 2 ways of meeting ends as described by Rothbard on ‘Anatomy of the State’. Economic means which is voluntary and Political means which involves coercion and force. Anarchism would seek ends through economic means, or at the very least it does not support political means of achieving ends. How is achieving ends through economic means extreme?

I get your point of such a behavior not seem in the animal kingdom. Unlike animals, humans have faculties of reason.

Right, I kinda wanted to take it really slow with large animals though 😂 pigs are super useful for reducing waste but are definitely a stretch goal.

A mini Jersey was something I’d been considering at one point; I’d done some math and figured that between making butter, cream, and skyr, I could figure out how to use the milk per day from ONE … but just barely, and they also probably would need a friend…

Does anyone on here keep dairy sheep or eat/drink a lot of sheep dairy?

I’m particularly interested in knowing what it’s like to cook with sheep butter or cream. Does it taste “sheepy” when heated like goat milk tastes “goaty” when heated?

Butter is my main cooking fat and I also cook with cream close to daily. When we homestead, I’d rather not have to go to the store for something that’s so essential every day, especially when ruminants are so good for land health. But dairy cows, even miniature ones, produce SO much milk that I’m afraid it would be a lot of extra work just to avoid wasting it. After hearing a talk at the Homesteaders Of America conference, it sounds like dairy sheep make a more manageable amount, and their milk is also higher in the fats I want dairy for anyway.

I might get a chance to try sheep cream for myself this spring (it seems Amos Miller carries it then), but thought I’d #asknostr beforehand.

Anarchism is not a utopia. There may well be violence and risks, but letting people interact voluntarily with each other is the only just approach. Letting a group in society have a monopoly on violence and coercion (the state) is not just even if it’s “safe”.

Unlike animals, humans have reason and are able to recognize (over time) that collaborating peacefully satisfies everyone’s needs to a greater extent than being a savage like animals.

Anarchy is not a place, it’s a relationship!

But, humans aren't carnivores, we're omnivores. Agreed most of our modern diets include way too much sugar and are otherwise imbalanced.

We need the carbs (and many other nutrients) in whole fruits and vegetables.

When I’m out in public watching humans in the wild, I find myself consistently looking at certain folks and asking this question.👇

How is it even possible to get that fat?🤔

Like when ur 44 years old, can literally barely move around, and struggle breathing…what the fuck happened?

Isn’t there a point of fatness where people stop, realize it’s ruining their life, and make it a huge focus to be have some self respect and be less fat?

Realize there are legit exceptions like mental illness, depression, hypothyroid, Cushing’s etc., but HEAVILY obese homo sapiens are ALL OVER in increasing numbers. It’s really hard to wrap one’s head around.
