  • If they stick the movement people might be interested in it. Buhlitz had some awesome competition frag videos of ascend where they did some wild shit. High-speed flag transfers always look awesome.

    It also has a variety of classes and positions - almost like genuine sports teams do.You can play roles to support your flag carriers or stick around by your flag and defend, so even newer players can feel useful.

  • Okay but they have the means of survival right now. Not seizing them means people will die while you develop your own.

    When I help my sister pay her rent a small business owner isn't being evicted. Economics aren't zero sum.

    Also, while developing your own, the movement is vulnerable to getting crushed by them. They historically haven't had any compunctions with killing millions to protect themselves from communism.

    I think ideas like collective ownership and mutual aid have power without challenging the ruling class. Instead we beg daddy to give us more rations.

    How though? Do you think the capitalist state is going to just let you mess with its bosses?

    I don't really have all the answers. I know what I consider ethical and try to work within that, but I'm no genius. I know it's easy to say your answer is violence and we'll sort it out later, but there're a lot of missing steps there. I don't think there's a lot of difference between the class consciousness necessary to achieve a gradualist result vs revolution. Gradualism has time to show people the benefit without lining them up against the wall, tho.

    We also live in a world that has a habit of fucking up collectivism. Trade is technology and in a free society we can test the tech and find what works instead of fucking shit up with bullets and famine.

  • They don't have to submit? We do things the right way and don't deal with those cunts. As a gradualist, though, I think we can build up our communities while removing the regulations that enable corporations to operate the way they do while staying profitable.

  • I meant that freedom of the press shouldn't be limited to just people that work for CNN or whatever. I don't think they're separate rights. I didn't mean to say they're appropriately implemented.

    Theft of small amounts of food isn't really something I care about. I'm not a fan of police or jails/prisons. We can handle these sorts of crimes more ethically. Robberies are a bit different. If you're someone that visits San Francisco to bip cars then goes back home, you could prolly use a good kick or two if you're caught by your intended victim.

    Regardless, I think we, as a society, should be there with the bread. It shouldn't be an issue we have to face.

  • I consider freedom of the press to just be freedom of speech, which we all have.

    As for the homeless chap, it depends on their situation. I'd live in a community that would try to help them. I think we're ethically obligated to help people in need as best we can, but I'm not comfortable using violence to force you to help them.

  • My worst was my GP/PCP saying all men are a little ADHD. I got an official diagnosis with ease. Now I use a doctor recommended by a friend and she's fantastic. All my docs are women now, and I only use men for mental health stuff. It's worth it hunting down the right people if you can. I'm kinda lucky with my insurance. I use a badass local pharmacy, too, and their competence is mind blowing compared to big corporate pharmacies.

    What fucked me up with the nurse was that the first time I met him he just finished the infusion. Took the tape off and pretty much dropped the IV rig. It just bruised a bit, but was distressing to watch. The second time I saw him I was like "oh fuck oh shit" but he had no problems. Got it on the first attempt. Painless. He's just way too chill on the back end.

  • Jesus. I had a nurse accidentally throw a vial (one of like 11. It was my first RA blood draw) in the biohazard bin. She took one look at me and ripped that box off the wall to carefully extract it, risking herself in the process.

    Recently they moved half the infusion staff to another location and a nurse I'd never met, who's a super nice guy, just isn't as careful when he's finishing up as the women have been. First bruise I've gotten from them in like two years. My arm looked like I was shooting up heroin or something. No real damage, but it's unsettling.
