How loverly to be able to share. Voting IS Praying to a spiritually dead god, Government. You are praying for it's blessings upon your just causes, are you not?? All organized "Religion" is just another mental Prison. Government and Religion, are the "Gifts" granted unto this World, by the Light-Bringer. His other name, "Satan", which simply means "the Accuser", is carried by all, who join the Congregation of the Spiritually Dead, and pick their "side"; whether Communist vs Capitalist, Catholic vs Baptist, Left vs Right, Red vs Blue, Muslim vs Jew. These "factions" ACCUSE each the other, of trying to bring about Chaos. Behaviour that is as Satanic as the Day is Long, which causes Those who were brought to earth most recently, to abandon their Mission of Deliverance of this World, from these two "Gifts" of Satan, the Devil, "Lucifer". Think on it just a moment. Do not Governments facilitate the Mass murder, mass theft, and rape of this world's resources?? Does not Religion, tell it's adherents that all other religions are missing the truth? Accusers All, meant to Keep the Populace of this blood-soaked, mud-covered bar-magnet of a planet, DIVIDED AND FALLEN.

I witnessed Police overreach early one evening. Eight police cars, two helicopters and a swat truck full of eight Robo cop types came rolling into my neighborhood. Why? Because my neighbor got fired earlier in the day and came home drunk. He threatened his live-in and her child. He didn’t hit anyone and he doesn’t own a gun. She walked across the street and called 911 because she didn’t know what else to do . Two hours later every window of their home was broken with tear gas canisters . He was the only person in the home with his poor dog. Maybe he was too drunk or scared to come out. Anyway, he was hauled off to jail and she and her son were homeless after that and the home was ruined.

[@pinchebruha405]

Do you understand that police are now at a level of all time high stress for everyone, nobody likes or wants them until they need them. A lot of rules for cops but none for criminals… not sure if that incident was long ago and if that police dept got a nice new cache of armaments from old military equipment and were ready for a chance to play or if it was a while back when a lot of disgruntled employees were shooting up work places, but context is everything!

They didn't used to swear so much in a tense situatios,but also in 2014 the data shows that racial, trans, and gender topics skyrocketed in search engines . The police do what they have to do so they can go home to their family, no chances whatsoever, it IS DANGEROUS., overreach ensues for sure, but man. It's a hard job, watch some of these police chase KZbin channels, it's BEYOND dangerous, they are engaged in 150+ mph violent , armed and homicidal suspects in chases during rush hour and lighter freeway traffic. Risking their lives to save innocent people., more dangerous then Iraq, Afghanistan, literally quite comparable.

Upton Sinclair once said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

[@Misinformed_lol]

Thank you for that quote ✌️

[@BIGDAWG-xk3rp]

Crazy 😂

[@joshuacornelius25]

A poignant illustration of this idea is Tom's failure to understand or even recognize his unconscious obsession with and insistence on identifying with the collective "we". The anarchist philosophy values individual responsibility as fundamental and sees subjugation to the oppressive collective as fundamentally evil. Michael is trying to nudge Tom to recognize this principle because he knows that principles can be defined but will never be understood until they are discovered for oneself.... Especially when dealing with deeply rooted indoctrination.

[@StubbsMillingCo.]

Sinclair was one of the men who lied to produce the USDA and FDA. Along with Dr. Harvey Wiley- who worked for the Bureau of Chemistry and coherced the government into allowing food colorings to be accepted. These 2 gentlemen acted on LIES to the American people that “small butchers processorsand meat packers were supplying meats and meat products containing human remains. There was NEVER any test ran nor any conclusion to prove there were. They attacked small farmers butchers and packers until they shut their doors. Sinclair pushed their socialism through “The Jungle” his most praised work…… this book explains their thinking in the meat industry and their thinking on communities all together. This caused meat prices to drop 50% in 6 months in some areas ONCE The Jungle was published!!! Do not quote Sinclair unless you KNOW his work. He was a socialist so was Wiley and neither of them were doctors nor had any proper accreditation to even make the claims they made in 1906!!!!!!! Now “consumers had more trust in meat distributors”… yet they had the upmost respect and loyalty to their local farmers butchers and packers from the start. They all needed each other. The cities then expanded and the “need for these government managed/overseen farmers and distributors” by consumers. Yet it is difficult to understand these things when you have never discovered these things but quote socialist on a video pertaining the ideas and philosophy of Anarchism…. You don’t understand do you?

[@StubbsMillingCo.]

@@Misinformed_lolwhy are you thanking them for quoting a socialist who destroyed the meat industry and what it meant to be a farmer and producer for your community?? Oh you also do not understand who Sinclair was nor Wiley or any of the things they did to maintain government control on your food.

[@erinwys216]

​@@kailaleebabineau3962it's not impractical. We are ingrained to default to a government or someone in power with thinking about how 'the world should work'. Anarchy isn't a government, it's voluntary relationships. Try to make a connecting thread to all the relationships you have in your life from the person who gives you change at a convenience store to your spouse. None of them are the same or have an exact formula, and that's a concept people have trouble grasping.

The Gulag Archipelago is an epic story of my grandfather’s hell and other millions like him. It took me 6 months to read it in small portions so my heart would not break. I knew very little from my grandfather because after he was released, he had to agree that he would never talk about it. He said very little; that he was there 6 years, that only 20% survived, that it was so cold that by the time spit reached the ground, it was already frozen, that the food portions were 1/2 pond of bread and one herring a day, that they worked cutting wood, berried dead bodies only in summer months when the ground was not frozen. He did not say more, but he screamed in his sleep often.Only after he died, my grandmother said that people there ate dead people. His greatest wish for us was that his grandchildren would never be hungry. I, on the other hand always knew that you should always be the most aware of your stupid neighbors. Stories of the Gulag Archipelago's caliber could caution privileged generations who never had to experience the horrors of what humans can do to one another. Perhaps the eyes could be open then, and gratitude, respect, grace, kindness, and generosity would have a chance to develop.

The rational being, the "market";will keep his, "in check". But we at same time as chasing wealth, we lost our focus on America, became to involved in making money, exploiting world markets, and once everything was a "big hustle", minus any self-awareness, we lost our moral compass, corruption became "part of the game" among politicians and they in turn, solicited the media, who were more than apply to enrich themselves, by supporting a political agendas. Next they targeted, the schools- universities. The agenda was set, because we had become global facing, rather than, committed to America and our American struggles. So, with the Tech boom, the amount of wealth hits the stratosphere, however,, neglecting the diligent, responsibilities to defend our American values and addressing, the difficulties, our population began to grow negative, and instead of being honest, the politicians and wealthy, were happy with their easy, do nothing, while becoming extremely wealthy, ...they didn't want to rock their boat - being in denial for decades that: we are all on the SAME BOAT, SND MANY, LIVING IN RALITY, BECAME MORE UNHAPPY.

[@ms-jl6dl]

That was not her point at all. Her point was that everyone inevitably creates emotional bond with "the truth" and is capable of joining and participating in any sort of totailitarian society and comiting even attrocities against any percieved treath. "Nazis" were not special in any way,they were you and me in a situation where we see one group or few groups as the threath - like vaccinated vs unvaccinated where we percieve "the others" as a treath to us and are ready to use force to "defend ourselves" but only one side has The State on its side and capability to commit atrocities or implement terror.That's why Michael's ideas are important,to prevent state's terror state should be abandoned otherwise it always becomes (or is from the begining) totalitarian,that's how we humans normaly behave. She (H.Arendt) was ostracized from Jewish intelligencia for her comments about the "banality of evil" after Eichman's trial in Israel where she was dissapointed and against those show trials where particular people are portraid as particulary evil and "special". Outside of a few psychopaths all humans are "normal", but capable of similar cruelty regardless and should be treated "normaly" like everybody else guilty of the same crime. Eichman hasn't killed anybody personaly so why should he be executed but thousands of "murderous" soldiers let go? That was and still is controversial idea since we all give highest blame to the leaders for evil commited but not to the foot soldiers who bring those terrible ideas to fruition. And all those foot soldiers are normal people too so there's no "justice" possible,only revenge. And to do that "reasonably" we choose to punish leaders most severly. She sees that as similar behaviour but from "our side",we punish percieved symbols of evil to create symbolic revenge which might also be evil in itself. See also Mattias Desmet's "Mass formation" about the subject.

I stopped looking for explanations ever since I started reading the Bible. As a kid I never followed and I always questioned why? Why is it so easy for people to be persuaded into doing things that are obviously immoral? I’m not saying I’m special, we all have family, friends, and coworkers that will agree on bombing children in Gaza. Why? It doesn’t benefit you to agree with such approach. It’s obviously immoral. Are they scared to be ostracized? Is there repercussions for disagreeing? Yes. But Why? Logically asking questions and criticizing actions can only benefit the nation from making further mistakes. So the conclusion for me is very simple. It’s just Evil. Evil from a Christian perspective. The same evil that tortured a innocent man to death for a degenerate collective. There’s nothing else that can explain it. You look through out history the same events happens over and over again. It leaves me dumbfounded. And I’m pretty fucking dumb. Leaves me asking the same questions every single time. How could you? And why would you? It’s just crazy honestly. It’s actually not that deep. I think people keep digging to try to reason with their own soul. Anarchy isn’t possible. But an overpowered government is worst. The sooner we can collectively agree on Morals the sooner we can get back to normalcy.

Michael … you are really talking about good Christian values that used to be taught in schools. A core value of love your neighbour as yourself (treat others as you would like to be treated.)

[@erinwys216]

Anarchism doesn't equate to Christian values...it's not really a value system. I do think it is better to have a personal philosophy, and ideally one that leads to happiness in your life and avoids creating misery in others. But if your value system is in line with not harming or trying to control others then you can live as an anarchist.

[@E_Clampus_Vitus]

I think morality is critical to functioning anarchy and that the tenets of Christ are the only real source of morality in man. Anarchy works among non believers because they can have morality instilled by god and still be completely unaware of it.

[@david8905]

Having been 'educated' in American public schools, I was taught that the definition of anarchy is: a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority. Beyond the opinion 'that is a bad thing', I really never gave it any thought. In fact anytime I heard someone use the words anarchy or anarchism I rejected anything they had to say because they were 'some sort of radical'. I have to say that I appreciate Michael's efforts to inform the public as to what those terms actually mean. He has encouraged a curiosity in me to look more deeply into it.

It encompasses everything of substantive importance about anarchism as Micheal Malice presents it, without invoking all the misconception that the term anarchism brings. DECENTRALISE EVERYTHING. Decentralise protection. Decentralise business. Local values rule. Local products rule. The technology to suppoprt decentralised energy and goods production is almost here.

I agree, this also adresses most 'scale problems' we see in the world as it is right now, because most of them simply disappear. Building a semiconductor factory at a very local level might a bit tricky, but we can worry about that later because there are quite literally hundreds of more pressing issues.

I also think it would help make people more open to it, but then again, some people simply just aren't interested in doing the work.

The size of government or even the existence of a government aren't the problem per se. The problem is our blind faith in what's called "democracy".
