I think I posted something critical of conscripting people to make them fight over who they pay taxes to at the end and got called a tankie and Russian bot.

It is entirely consistent with anarchism to be critical of states using coercive violence to force people to fight for their preservation.

Some of the libs on this protocol are intensely derranged, I think for many it's their first time seeing that people out there disagree with some of their sacred assumptions and it breaks their brains.

Basically no Australian wildlife can or will seriously hurt you. There are some snakes which if you try really hard you might run into (for reference I've had 2 encounters with dangerous snakes in my life), a couple of spiders one of which is extremely common but not at all aggressive and does not roam, kangaroos if you hit them with your car you will be fucked up, emus and cassowaries if you go where they are and try really hard to make them angry, crocs up north if you approach them can be dangerous, box jellies up north will kill you if you swim when they're about, dingoes in the centre are wild dogs so if they're hungry they could harm you.

you can go bush walking with no plan and just some water. Wander off the track all day, and your biggest danger is getting lost. Avoid that and it's dehydration or falls. If you stick your hands into dark crevices and overturn bark and stuff I guess spiders and snakes?

Stop it. Stop being so bad at understanding writing. This is literally just someone doing A Modest Proposal again but with an economic lens.

Idk archinstall is pretty straightforward if you choose a DE. No harder than installing windows if you haven't done either before.

Help documentation and available of "support" (friendly nerds) to chat to is better than windows too.

God damned. LLMs are just the rapture for hopeless dorks.

I think sometimes when I try to point out that political violence underpins much of society people hear "violence is good actually".

It's frustrating because what I'm trying to point out is actually the opposite. Prostrating yourself lets other people use violence with no checks.

yeah I figured you were, but it seemed like some people were actually engaging with it. As if make-work somehow made the line go up.

There's a fun joke:

2 economists are out walking. The first economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the other, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50. Later on, the second economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the first, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that pile of dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50.

The first economist says, "I can't help but feel we just ate dog shit for nothing." "Nonsense," says the second economist, "We just contributed $100 to the economy."

Of course actual economists aren't this terrible, but the popular perception of economics/monetary theory is about this braindead.

something something glaziers fallacy.

Obviously this is a joke, but if it even sounded remotely plausible to anyone reading fix yourself.

Are you sure about braindeath being a mental condition? My thoughts, confirmed by quick googling, was a medical-legal standard for death based on permanent death of the brain. As a person can otherwise be vegetative/comatosed or whatever, or like a liver can keep operating for a while etc.

As an insult I think it's meant to be taken as "This is only explainable if you have no brain activity" not "you are like a living human with a different or damaged brain".
