  • interesting you used grep because it's a command that has a very clear origin.

    in ed/vi the g command was used to run commands on some pattern. eg g/[regex pattern]/[command]

    the p command was used to print current line so to print any line that matched the string "grep" you would do: g/grep/p.

    when this was made into a seperate command it was called grep: g/re/p. using re to denote regex.

  • Was inspired by the article to draw this. Sadly It doesn't make much sense without context.

  • and people complain about wayland.

  • No you weren't. At least not in my opinion. I was just continuing the thought not refuting anything you said.

  • You think the election posts were low quality? I was going more of a clean minimalist vibe instead. Got any tips?

  • I guess you could see it that way. Just the "opinion rather than relevancy" sounds so appropriate to the downvote topic that I assumed it was that.

  • If you want I'll remove it.

  • This is why I would disable them. Or call them dislikes and make them add to the score. as it's still an opinion.

  • I never even said to not vote. They probably thought "fuck the state" means "don't vote". And they are connected but not the same.

  • The sidebar should cover that question. In case it doesn't here are some terms I think fall under that umbrella: socialist, anti-capitalist, anarchist.

  • what did I do wrong?

  • I think it's non-leftists. As that is the standard in this sub.

    Just want to vent

  • you control the lesser power (individual) with a bigger power (the "ourselves").

    to quote: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca213

    anarchists recognise that individuals are the basic unit of society and that only individuals have interests and feelings. This means they oppose "collectivism" and the glorification of the group. In anarchist theory the group exists only to aid and develop the individuals involved in them.

    While groups cannot think, individuals cannot live or discuss by themselves. Groups and associations are an essential aspect of individual life

    Anarchism rejects the abstract individualism of capitalism, with its ideas of "absolute" freedom of the individual which is constrained by others. This theory ignores the social context in which freedom exists and grows.

    In practice, both individualism and collectivism lead to a denial of both individual liberty and group autonomy and dynamics.

    The link goes into more detail.

    It's not like humans didn't arise from more anarchist structures.

    A Definition for a term I'm about to use:Archy - Hierarchy, Rule, structure of command and subordination, opposite of anarchy.

    How did humans "rise" from anarchist structures? I wouldn't call whats going on right now any better than the pre-archic societies. Those societies were destroyed because they didn't have the structures to protect themselves against archy anarchy isn't just no archy, it's conscious opposition to archy. Now that we understand archic structures and their influence we can start opposing it. Pre-archic societies couldn't

    having spontaneous mobs forming to upholds the customs

    Why would you need mobs? often times a single other person would be enough to stop/deter anti-social behavior.

    as long as they are kept in check by a bigger power

    Who controls that bigger power and what's stopping them from becoming corrupt? There is no bigger power than the state and police is the state. You can't have anything bigger. As soon as you have representative democracy the people will go from humans to a resource. They will be grown and molded to not care about their society and just root for their team. Governance isn't something you can delegate to others. It makes you lazy and means you will stop thinking about the actual problems and start fighting with anyone who disagrees with you.

    Representational democracy does not work. The state is a living system that has interests of it's own and those will always be prioritized over the citizens. Sooner or later every state devolves into authoritarianism. All the while screwing over anyone who wants to live without it.

  • I will so thank you!

  • I'm surprised that an anarchist position is getting downvoted in this community. I guess the libs came to party.

  • Thank you for your insightful comment. :)

    ACAB!

  • Seriously, what are you talking about?

    Anarchy. I'm an anarchist. I'm talking about anarchy. People do not need to be controlled/enforced/governed. We are perfectly capable of organizing a society ourselves. Stopping violence should not be the responsibility of a special group but everyone. Social pressure is more powerful than direct violence. Otherwise the police would not have such a cushy job.

    What would be the motive to write or follow laws?

    No one needs to write laws. Custom is already a ruleset that most people in a society follow. You don't need laws on top of that. It's unnecessary and creates cases where the right thing cannot be done because it's illegal. Government creates a ton of unnecessary busywork that most people do not need to concern themselves with. What does the government do that you couldn't do with free association and an empowered populus?

    Do you follow laws just because you're afraid of the police? Or is it because of the social pressure to not cause a fuss. Do you need rules to be written down on a piece of paper for you to follow them? I think not. I've followed a lot of "made up" rules because I understand these rules make my life better. Human beings are capable of working together without needing someone else to tell them how to live their life. We did it for millennia before archy clawed it's way into every society (by colonizing the anarchic ones because they were "primitive")

    It's not the CEOs/police or the existence of their function

    Yes it is. You cannot have police that doesn't abuse their power. If you have a position in society that gives people power, It's the power-hungry that fill them. Everyone that doesn't want to dictate other peoples lives will not fill those positions. so sooner or later they are going to be filled by people who want power and nothing else. It's no coincidence archy keeps devolving into fascism and totalitarianism. It's inevitable. Society elevates people who want power so you end up with people who believe they are god and can do no wrong.

  • No. We do not need cops. The police will always be a corrupt hand of state violence. As long as there are cops (as in special people who are allowed to use violence) in any form they will ultimately become corrupt. As long as law is enforced it is not equal, and it will never protect "the people". The people are the only ones that can protect "the people". You don't need cops, you need everyone to start policing people around them. That is the only way everyone gets protection.

    ACAB! All power to all the people!
