  • The same reason the literal entirety of society exists. After we completely figured out food, water, and shelter, we got bored. We stopped being at risk of famine 10k years ago, we pretty quickly figured out fermentation and distillation makes water not kill us, and we figured out how to house everyone.

    Then we kept just making that faster and easier to accomplish.

    Well what do we do with all that free time? Fuck play games, do some entertainment, kill other people over petty nonsense, create pointless class based societies that generate artificial scarcity simply because a few people are greedy and most are too trusting of those greedy people, enrich out lives through momentary joy.

    So in the dark ages of computing this tradition was continued and a very smart, highly paid scientist in charge of tens of millions of dollars of equipment made some of that equipment play table tennis.

    A few decades and massive corporate funding of naive over enthusiastic nerds with much cheaper but more powerful equipment later and we have video games instead of going to the pub to play dice or doing a war…

    What government has given out free ponies to all citizens?

    Is this not where we ask nonsequiturs?

    To address your point that is irrelevant to any discussion at hand. We can get into why there are exceedingly few stateless societies allowed to exist, the history of aristocracy and how every single world leader is a descendant of a feudal lord proving feudalism never died out and psychopaths have ruled the world since the dawn of government, but you’re frankly not ready for that discussion. Until you are I suggest JAQing off in your right wing echo chamber from now on like you types are used to.


  • I’m not advocating for not voting. In fact I encourage everyone to vote. I just cannot physically vote for genocide. It’s not in my blood or bones to do so. There is no excuse, and it is never the lesser evil nor does it reduce harm.

    And no, I’m not killing children. I have been responsible for the deaths of children, of course, like you. I voted Obama, in 2012 even after he killed a shitload of childre and then went on to kill even more children.

    I’m not doing that again. Never again, infact. If your society requires genocide to function, if your society requires you to advocate for genocide and vote for genocide to function, your society needs to be utterly destroyed in every way possible. It cannot be allowed to continue to exist. It is evil, and it cannot become more evil. It is the worst it can be.




  • It’s not, but that’s not what government is. Government is the removal of responsibility away from the people; the positive reason proffered being that this frees up time for people to focus on other things, but in reality the only actual reason is misanthropy. You don’t trust people, so you want a source you can trust to do things. The problem with that is humans have an evolutionary adaptation wherein some, exceedingly few, humans are born without the key ability of empathy that all normal (meant in the most offensive way possible) people are born with. These few individuals colloquially known as psychopaths exclusively take advantage of this distrust and place themselves in positions of power despite the fact they are solely the reason the distrust exists.

    The line about how power corrupts is false, power attracts the corrupted and allows them to be free. Therefore we can never have any person ever have more power than any other.

    Is built by people, designed by people, contributed to by people, and most importantly exists in stateless societies. When a community has a common need and enough spare time to address that need, infrastructure happens. A government not only is not needed for this, but objectively halts or stalls progress for a variety of selfish goals of the individual politicians, as humans cannot be politicians, just parasites.

    Human behavior is objectively to work together for a common goal. It is exceedingly few people in society that cannot do this. Basing your view of humanity’s behavior on the outliers is asinine.

    I highly recommend you and other misanthropes take a human evolutionary psychology course or two. Standford has one for free on their YouTube page.

    No.

    No we didn’t.

    We did not live with shit in the streets without government. Even the earliest known sites for long term near human habitatation had sanitation at least to the point of handling waste away from living areas. It’s really exclusively the British and British controlled India that had problems with this. Nearly every other known society in history has sensible sanitation. Indoor plumbing is older than monotheism for ducks sake.
