@clacke One more before I get to sleep: wrt moving: yes, moving does cost resources societally, there are ephemeral resources like fuel and concrete like the truck. If your association isn't shit you should have a rough equilibrium between people choosing to not associate and people choosing to join.
-
@clacke The problem of not being able to move is only very rarely that you're physically incapable of putting your belongings into a truck and driving several hours away, but that you lack the capital to afford the rental of said truck and the upfront costs of moving (deposit on apartment, utility hookups, etc.) The answer to "somebody has to put up those resources" is "Nah, not really." Moving is a rare enough occurrance that we needn't be overly concerned.
-
@clacke Also disclaimer it's 4am and I have class in like 7 hours so I'm a bit tired.
-
@clacke This of course requires an understanding of the distinction between personal and private property but I can't imagine anywhere which won't have access to a vehicle which we wouldn't consider to be private property under the current system.
-
@clacke Basically the solution to "I'm in a shitty commune in the middle of nowhere" is "take a car and leave, property rights are a lie" vs any capitalist system where the answer is "get fucked if you can't afford a car"
-
@clacke Multi-jurisdictional for sure, rights enforcement agencies arguably unneeded; notion of accidental monopolies wrt you being in bumfuck nowhere and there only being one voluntary assn which handles things one I'm working through. Solution, I think, simply that you don't require accumulation of capital to move.
-
@clacke I worked on elective monarchy for a while. The problem is that elections themselves can be kind of dangerous when you have a majority-minority situation. I'm skeptical of the notion of representative democracy in this sense to begin with; hard for a king to be aware of the situation of their people at large, even within a constrained geographical location like a city.
-
@clacke They also, of course, commit what I consider a fundamental mistake in that they tie political organization to geographical location, which exacerbates the problems mentioned above. If you're getting fucked by you local sovcorp then how are you going to accumulate the capital required to move to the next sovcorp over? What if the closest sovcorp that aligns with your views is hundreds or thousands of miles away?
-
@clacke I struggled with monarchy for a long time. I find the problem of succession intractable, and the common problem of incest doesn't help.
-
For the unaware: The modern spanish state has origins in the *dynastic union* between the mostly-catalan Kingdom of Aragón and the Kingdom of Castile. The Kingdom of Aragón remained under a dynastic union until the 1700's.
-
"We are not radicals. We are normal Spaniards who want our country to remain united. We love Catalonia; my wife and mother are Catalan. But Catalonia is not like Scotland, a country that joined a union. Catalonia has always been Spain." d-do they not teach history in spain? Like at all?
-
@clacke It'd probably complain about a space. fwiw I'm 90% sure that the "yes" answer is meant to be an easter egg for if you're feeling snarky, at least that's how I found it.
-
@clacke If you answer "yes" to the question "Would you like to add a username? Type your username or no" in the OpenBSD installer, it responds with "No really, what's the lower case logginname or no?"

Is it ironic to be reading kropotkin while listening to an asmr video of a 5 star resort checkin? Maybe.
-
Watching anthony bourdain's latest travel show and there's some chinese dude describing "hacker" in our sense. On a mainstream tv show. Weird.
-
TIL we have @Hbomberguy on the network, sweet.
-
Weird formatting. This work better? 🤔
-
@gargron I wonder if this stunning result is in any way a consequence of the spanish government's cracking down meaning that only the most dedicated (read: the most interested in voting) had the chance to vote
