Suffering from issues most of lemmy is currently suffering from. Relatively non-niche content still needs a critical mass to support it.

That and the Pac12 collapsing has me not as interested this season. Fuck the Ducks.

I can’t stand it, I know you planned it

I can’t stand rocking when I’m in here 'Cause your crystal ball ain’t so crystal clear

I think Le Guins “The Dispossessed” belongs here. Its a dystopian/ utopian comparative about an anarchist planet and a capitalist planet. Highly recommend. I’ve got a signed copy somewhere.

Bro they just want to paint.

My NAS just arrived today. I’ll have ~42 TB of self hosted storage for 1k.

Google is charging me something ridiculous like, 300 a year for the same.

Bro. Someone does not want this thing to be.

Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.

Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You’ll fucking cum.

Russian propaganda bot.

Oh he’s not a bot. They are a real verified human doing this as a labor of love.

Seems like you could market a line with even worse statements on it:

“This cigarette kills babies”

Airplane. Young Frankenstein. Emperors New Groove. Paper moon.

Glad to see signal is still the top of the pops.

Can’t give away what you don’t have.

Please use mineral based sunscreen. The corals and turtles have suffered enough.

This is a but weird considering there are plenty of anarchists living day to day all around the world. I’m not going to click it, but the title seems a bit patronizing.

I find there is a lot of intellectualizing and circlejerking around what anarchism ‘is’ and ‘isnt’, which is super weird to be because its pretty much antithetical to the philosophy. I’ve always found it extremely off putting and pretty reminiscent of the kind of circle jerking that happens in online libertarian or online tankie circles. It seems to come from people with no lived experience whose entire perspective is based on the kinds of conditions set up by modern social media (identifying with, describing ones self as, talking and presenting rather than doing or being).

My experience of anarchism is that of free association. Its people doing for themselves and choosing to do so for those around them as well. Its the idea that we don’t need some intellectual, political, or authority to tell us how to form social systems or community. Community and society are emergent properties of the human species, not some a tautology described in some text-book or pamphlet. Its not an intellectual exercise, but a physical process. Its digging a garden with your friends to feed yourselves because you don’t want to be hungry and you don’t want them to be hungry either. Its free association. Its some one in your community learning to do small engine repair because if not the elephant grass is going to take over. Its making art because art is beautiful and amazing and it doesn’t need to have any other purpose than that. Its a recognition that for the moment, you are alive, and thats enough.

Anarchism is that idea that we are enough and that is plenty. I’m abhorent to the idea of intellectual anarchism. Its not the thing, but a copy of it. If you want to be anarchist, live it.

I think Le Guins Dispossessed is a good material description of what a lived anarchism ends up looking like. When you read it you know that Le Guin has lived parts of this as well. Its scraping the earth for some calories. Its often times not having much, but having enough. Its taking responsibility for yourself and those around you. Its doing the work yourself and not expecting others to do it for you. If you want to find out what anarchism is, go to the places where it is happening and grab a shovel and do your part to make it a reality.
