The city messing w the DIY?

Those machines reject old coinage bc it’s different weights and sizes. Sometimes people run old silver through and leave it in the reject tray in the bottom of the machine. Typically it’s worthless foreign coinage but every once in awhile it’s mfin silver

Scored 2x silver dimes out of the coinstar! I’ve checked the reject tray every time I got to the grocery store for 15 years and never had so much luck. 4 silvers in a month and maybe I’ve bagged 12 total in 15 years.

I don’t agree. Having food security and not being a wage slave are both dynamics that can absolutely improve quality of life. Also, if you raise your own livestock or grow your own food you can be sure of how it’s done and reduce exposure to pollutants and malfeasance.

Read “the Cheyenne Indians” by Bird Grinell. They were one of the most successful native societies and were most analogous to anarchy in their social structure. This is a fact.

Again ignoring the example I provided. Nature is in a pure sense full anarchy but just pretend that’s not the case.

Saying “study the universe” is trite, assumptive and completely lacks substance. You’ve not given one detailed example to support your weak claims despite the fact that nature is objectively anarchy in motion.

Keep playing a victim and ignoring the information that proves your claims dead wrong. You’re not responding in good faith (muted) and demonstrably intellectually inferior. Keep playing the victim and pretending self determination is your boogie man while the world turns you out like an SF twink 😂😂

Yeah absolutely. Nothing will ever be perfect but the tradeoffs would be favorable imo.

I’m not meaning it will be a panacea, but I think that’s the missing piece to there being places where anarchism can functionally be executed. I think it would be extremely niche.

Anarchism doesn’t mean there are no rules. It means rules are created in an organic grassroots fashion by free humans, and enforced by private means via cooperation, and that they are opt-in / opt-out in nature.

You are ignoring the tangible example I gave. 😂

Go out into the forest and tell me about all of the centralized governance you see there 😂🤣

Small minds demand something isn’t possible with no regard for the exponential nature of technology or understanding of history. You’ll be left behind in your little state-propaganda-created prison of a mind.

I think we will see it. It’ll be a city / state somewhere who has asymmetric defense tech. Drones + sophisticated compute that can 100% protect from any incoming projectiles and likely the ability to deliver nuclear warheads in retaliation. Or something like that. Something that hasn’t been possible previously.

Of course it is. Anarchism at scale just needs a reliable way to keep criminals (governments, rulers or otherwise) from stealing private property and violating the non-aggression principle. This isn’t hard on a micro level but it’s been impossible at a macro level.

It’s the 1% of sociopathic humans that gather power and fuck it up for the 99% who inherently cooperate.

Many native societies largely operated on anarchist principles. There were vague hierarchies but members of societies were absolutely free to leave at any time if they didn’t like how they were being treated as well. There was very little commanding and a high degree of personal sovereignty, no taxes, and cooperation was the rule. No threat of violence for making your own choices. But they all had to be hardcore warriors to protect their shit from others.

I think what #anarchism has always been missing is the ability for cost-effective and asymmetric defense of private property.

No group of sovereign individuals has ever been able to defend themselves from centralized kingdoms or nation states. So they are subjugated.

If technology can solve the asymmetric-private-property-defense-problem then anarchism will not only be possible but it will a lot of sense.

Given this hard problem being solved by tech in the future: then all rules and organization under protected areas would be voluntary and opt-in. Markets would be regulatory mechanisms. Value creation the driver of all progress. Volunteerism and cooperation would be rule of law. No taxes or coercion or money printing to syphon away human life and productivity.

With the advent of sound money (#Bitcoin ) and tech going very exponential, we may see this scenario come to fruition in our lifetimes.
