@nikadubrovsky I’ve always had a theory that Japan and England are kind of the same place. Two formerly feudal constitutional monarchies located on large islands hanging off opposite sides of the Eurasian landmass….

@Palomar_qfwfq @FeardorchaR @noisegroove there’s a scene where he basically says “sure, having a king with a palace & flashy guards is going to impress the goyim, but just wait till he starts nabbing your prettiest daughters for the harem & making all sorts of demands… you’re going to regret it.”

@Palomar_qfwfq @FeardorchaR @noisegroove the witch rocked. It’s definitely the best part of the Bible. I think they had a lottery but somehow chose the tallest guy anyway, which was suspicious, and anyway, God fixed it. Samuel was against the project & tried to warn them.

@Palomar_qfwfq @FeardorchaR @noisegroove I like the part where everyone complains “we really need to take someone and make him king, because if we don’t have a king, none of our neighbours will take us seriously” so they just choose the tallest guy

@notimnotandrei @JebbyMc do you think you’re telling anyone anything they don’t already know? If you have some reason why you think it’s better to have the gov’t support private profit-based research rather than fund non-profit research directly or indirectly then tell us, otherwise, what’s your point?

@notimnotandrei @JebbyMc Yeah but biomedical is unusual the fact that in most fields it’s different is what’s relevant to any argument that keeping life-saving knowledge secret to guarantee private profits is acceptable because “someone has to pay for it”

@AViewofYou_ As Blair Fix has elaborately demonstrated compensation is mainly a reflection of hierarchical power not the other way around

Fri 17 Jul 2020 17:31

@AViewofYou_ Ones merit value or ability is not the measure of ones compensation for about 50% of work right now since its unpaid & current compensation has little relation to those things as we’ve learned in lockdown

@norway_cb @vupine @Catniptwoshoes For example: have you ever heard of these things called “libraries”? Have you ever heard of a novelist or historian etc who demanded their book not be put in a public library, even though it allows anyone to read their book for free?

@MisterSpeeKar Rojava provides a nice example of people using anarchist forms of organization dealing with one of the biggest organized crime problems in human history (ISIS)

@MURILORESENDEF1 1. You are guilty of the fallacy by ignoring endless strains of self-declared “anarchist” praxis that don’t fit your purposes, 2. you are saying “anarchism is X” when you actually mean “I think anarchism ought to be defined as” – in fact no one is under any obligation to

Fri 17 Jul 2020 17:09

@AViewofYou_ Depends on how you define “hierarchy” in part. But ultimately I’d say any organization that can work without resort to threatening to physically attack people could count as anarchist

Fri 17 Jul 2020 17:04

Best formulation that came out of the very pleasant Idler conversation last night: anarchy doesn’t reject organization. It stands for GOOD organization. If you have to threaten to beat people up in order to get people to go along with your plan you’re not very good at organizing
