Some people are slow to catch up. Everyone is welcome to the resistance: the best time to join was November 2024, the next best time is now.

Majority of ML/Software Engineers report zero CEOs listened to them about it.

I believe that modern military cannot have a winning fight against guerilla warfare.

1. You cannot destroy what you cannot find.

2. Guerillas know the terrain and soldiers do not. The military intelligence might, but not the soldiers.

3. Guerillas know enemy soldiers locations first buy mere observation.

4. Guerilla fighters are a cornered animal. They have one way out, through the invader.

Edit: the only way that a modern military can fight it, is blanket indiscriminate destruction.

The hyperactivity looks so different between people. I was the quiet kid in class, but I wasn’t there.

I was off in Pokemon/digimon land for most of elementary school. And lucky that I was smart and I could do tests in class by figuring them out on the fly.

A large number of anarchists are armed, yes.

Two things can be true like everything in life.

Anarchists/radical leftists want a society where weapons are unnecessary. Many are armed until that is possible precisely because the existing establishments are prone to violence.

Again, pre-soviet Ukraine is an excellent example of this.

Some of us choose not to be. But that isn’t to say we won’t take up arms, or provide other means of defending ourselves.

In an anarchist society we would rather work to end the conditions that encourage violence - usually that is inequality. Many people with disabilities can still participate, with no expectations on how they do. Some simply cannot, so we would provide support as possible. Something else to remember is that while people can certainly choose to specialize in a role within the community, polymaths are exceptionally valuable.

We harbor no illusions that the society is easy to obtain. But that can’t be a surprise giving wars have been fought over taxes.

I already went over that - anarchists aren’t pacifists.

Someone will see them, and inform others, and they will self organize into a temporary militia.

The groups of rapists? Do you intend to prosecute them as a group?

Edit: and modern systems are incapable of preventing rape, or any crime. The threat of prison time does not prevent crime. Crime still happens. Crimes are not identical to one another.

It’s not that different in anarchy, it just doesn’t work the way you are accustomed to.

When I mention a ‘trial’ it doesn’t refer to someone being a judge - judges are individuals who are supposed to be impartial, and that is impossible.

There is no requirement for how the equivalent of a trial would proceed, but people would discuss it in an open forum, figure out evidence, ask questions, and build a consensus on both the perpetrator and actions to take.

Any action taken, of course, is open to consequences. If it turns out that the people who formed an opinion on guilt and punishment were prejudice against the accused, then they would have to face that too.

That’s really more of what I’ve seen in the communist communities rather than anarchists.

But they too have a tendency of being all or nothing.

The ones who demand “social order” truly aren’t anarchist anyway. The whole point of anarchy is to approach an egalitarian community that rejects the idea of unearned authority.

I don’t think they’re quite fascist because of the economic difficreneces and social wellbeing policies.

But they are undoubtedly both authoritarian, and that’s pretty much the biggest problem because it practically makes the two identical.

Hmmm. We can’t see the bottom of the stick. There’s obviously storm damage.

How do we verify he is infact holding a stick, and not an unfortunate tree?
