Calling him a "vaccine critic" is rich; he's a child killer. Due to him, directly, thousands of children will die preventable deaths.
I think a better title would also be "The Playbook Used To Kill People, By Spreading Lies About Vaccines". Or simply, "The Playbook Used For Chemical Warfare".
Willfully not vaccinating a ton of people, in my view, is indirect chemical warfare.
Well, Kropotkin agrees with you in the last regard; that power should not be concentrated at all.
What he favours is a system such as yours, but differently. Trusts, which are inherently money-based, would be meaningless under an anarchocommunist system, as there is no money to speak of. A gift economy is one option, in where goods are directly given to one another without expectation of reward, and without a middle man such as money.
To prevent a "free rider" or "hoarder" problem, a pay-it-forward model could be handy, in where if you want goods, you need to give plenty back to the community.
Hmm, I don't know your situation, but if you're living in Switzerland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, or Iceland, I honestly would just recommend staying there.
If it's in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, or Bosnia, then yeah, fair. But I thought none of those had good privacy laws?
Can't imagine Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, or Turkey have good privacy laws. And certainly not any of the North African countries...
Fuck PayPal. It's disability-unfriendly.
You have to pay for a customer service call, and cannot text them outside of your account. Even mail is hard to reach. So when you're locked out due to 2FA shit, ... lmao.
If Thiel's mafia organisation (I refuse to call that scrap by sir Tolkien's works' names) has a deal with the NHS, then that should be ended ASAP. Fuck that, that's some serious spying.
Capitalism is shit, and there are things where it especially NEVER, EVER should have any access, power or influence, directly or indirectly:
I wouldn't take it up, honestly. Best to go for somewhere in the EU instead.
The UK is a US puppet state, and pretty much showing it.
It's indeed ridiculous. At some point I had no internet access, no playboy, no drawing stuff. So, anyway, I just used my good ol' imagination.
They always seek to control that which is natural: the urge to have a happy life, with pleasure.
They could better spend their time combatting the corruption within the Tories and Labour, and actually putting up a proportional representation system. Or yet better, workplace democracy for all. People can follow a leader if they want, but it's nice if everyone else also can live as they want.
If they cared about kids, I think it's better to educate them about how to navigate the internet safely. Prohibiting the internet for kids is one thing, but imo it's a bandaid fix for bad parenting.
Better to tell them "never give away your real name, address, or age", and "never ask for the same of someone else". And that when they see something awful, it's best to talk with their parents about it. Kids need to grow up safely, yes, but they should also be independent, not boxed in by helicopter parents.
When I was younger, I was often on the internet and mostly just visited the safe sites. Occassionally I saw the one off scary site but I knew to avoid it later then, or talked about it irl with friends and family.
That is shifting the blame away from Russia, which is the fascist aggressor. Ukraine did not enter NATO; Russia rejected Ukraine seeking more economical independence.
Yanukovych, who was pro-EU, was originally supposed to sign an association treaty between the EU and Ukraine; but last minute he didn't sign, while parliament had voted with an overwhelming majority for yes.
Yanukovych probably didn't sign due to Russian pressure, which proposed instead that Ukraine become a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. Protests grew into Euromaidan, but the anti-protest laws instated by Yanukovych's party of oligarchs, repressed it, until he was deposed.
And then Russia invaded Ukraine and took the Crimea + the Donbass, and shot down MH17. For which Putin and Girkin still haven't paid with their lives.
Since Putin was the one to pressure Yanukovych in not signing, and since Putin was the one to invade, he's to be blamed for everything.
Ukraine would've been able to remain neutral -- and negotiate favourable terms for transporting goods to Russia. All that without joining the Eurasian Economic Union. Thus the blame is solely and wholly on Putin for rejecting any such option.
The EU explicitly provides for a neutral nation to join (like Austria did), and even provides for interoperability with other common markets through the EEA. Though that is less favourable than being in the EU, as you then cannot vote in EU parliament about laws affecting you; a deal that Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland took. It also doesn't come with the advantage of the mutual defence clause.
Kropotkin was right all along.
What we need, is not a wage slavery system centered around what we earn; but a society based around what we need.
We need to establish our own farms, our own woodcutters, our own medical aids; and we give to each other freely, so that we may freely receive in return.
Is there one as well that's Linux-based, and uses as few American/Chinese manufacturers as possible?
Never attribute to incompetence that which can also be attributed to malice.
