i cited two societies that passed it, but you found some other reason to dismiss them. if that’s not moving the goal posts or setting up a no-true-scotsman then i guess i should get a refund for my degree.
House cats don’t recognize their owners ruling over them, but they’re 100% dependent regardless.
And that’s what you remind me of the most, a house cat who has never eaten anything except the food put into your bowl, but completely convinced that you’re the best hunter in the world, not understanding anything about where the food comes from or how any of it actually works.
calling the freedom fighters of exarcheia or the sheep farmers of madagascar “house cats” who depend on others to feed them is dehumanizing and inaccurate. they fought for every inch of land and every scrap of food.
Squatters and farmers, both are dependent on the larger societies around them, even if they outwardly claim otherwise.
Don’t get me wrong, squatting is cool as fuck, but even when sticking it to the man, you’re still dependent on his world.
Hell, Exarcheia even goes against your own picture of a perfect society, they used a form of direct democracy with actual voting on policy.
Policy that was enforced throughout the camps.
Circling back to farmers, again, you hit that 150-person limit on community size without some form of policy abstraction. i.e. some form, any form, of governance and policy.

Two that you claim rule by consensus, but two places that, in fact, do not.
Both places have actual national governments and hold actual elections.
those societies don’t recognize the rule of the people you claim rule them.

dehumanizing me indicates that this has gone beyond mere insults, and undercut any claims you might have to intellectual honesty or moral highground.
the bar for your apology has risen significantly, and you’ve already indicated you wouldn’t meet a much lower standard.
You are obsessed with an apology that you will never get.
I’ve not directly insulted you, but have repeatedly insulted your narrow ideas of governance, but if that’s all you are, then you might need hobbies.
