Imagine the island people from G u l l i v e r's T r a v e l s with not one, but two leviathans stomping about. One is government the other is the economy. The poor little people would be better suited to slay the government leviathan that has erratically-made footsteps and sometimes pretends to be their friend versus the economical gargantuan if they only have enough resources to slay one at the moment, and worry about the other monstrosity later, because the other gargantuan has a more predictable route, robotic-like, programmed into that force's modus operandi. It would be easier to trip and stab at that entity, than the one with some support by cowards and psychopaths and erratic footfalls. It is primarily the fallacy of the assumed paradigm that is responsible (the caveat of), for the decrease in proper communication, despite the rapid increase in efficiency in communication brought about by technology. Efficiency =/= effectiveness, and this is very evident with certain historical examples in mind, such as how the C i v i l W a r / W a r b e t w e e n t h e S t a t e s came about with the cotton gin and paranoid 'north' being at-odds with potential buyers of the production of the 'south' and scarcity of resources leading to a need for chattel slavery to keep up with unfair quotas leading to violations of Natural Law and the inherent Rights of humans. Problem-reaction-solutionism. S t a r W a r s' C l o n e W a r s, and S t a r T r e k 6: T h e U n d i s c o v e r e d C o u n t r y are also good examples. Narcissistic psychopaths, hedonistic nihilists, hostile aliens, pragmatism (impulsiveness and impatience in the face of adversity), ignorance itself....E p h e s i a n s 6 : 1 2....memorize it. T w i l i g h t Z o n e's "T h e O b s o l e t e M a n' episode is the result....the world before individuals' eyes today. No matter how much or frequent one served and touted the party-line, that one may be obsolete tomorrow for committing but the littlest offense of not moving with the goalposts on so few as one issue. C a n n i b a l i z a t i o n. It must be stopped. As Y a r o n B r o o k of the A y n R a n d I n s t i t u t e has said, the group cannot reason, it is incapable of reason, only the individual can reason. Seeing others as individuals and not 'the other' and in the plural can go a long way to helping ease tensions and restore balance and harmony in the world. Peace.Luv.andANARCHY! . . . . [Obligatory 'taxation is theft' voluntary subscriptions/bills are not here] EDIT: LOL, forgot the main thing this user was wanting to convey: Isn't it weird how 'lefties' (to be collective-focused at the expense of the individual) advocate for strong, independent women that don't need no men and there are 'right-wingers' (to believe in the primacy of the individual over the collective) who advocate for identity and groups' ends sometimes justifying the means? Very hypocritical to see 'righties' advocate for collectivism....that's NOT being 'right'! UGH! People need to define terms one will use in a piece before using them because not everyone has the same definitions for such terms and there's a lot of conflation and misrepresentation going on.

  • Most in the anarchist-community (genre, really, because community has become a problem with regards to other classifications of people, like 'the black community' being a detriment, because it's a 'hive-mind' to those involved) are actually quite minimalist and not hedonistic and quite spiritual and kind-hearted and not nihilistic.

  • Funny story: I was refuting anarchism when I said they were "hedonistic nihilists" and ever since then he's used that term in his posts in random, out of context places. I'm almost certain he doesn't even know what that means.
