    anybody still waiting around for government and democracy to fix this shit is extremely naive. government is just a form of organization. we have all the tools to organize without the help of government.

      I don’t think people are smart or sane enough for self governance. Just look how many trump supporters there are. To let them wild and expect to have some sane self organisational system that isn’t outright slavery of minorities…

      Democracy is a screening test for anarchism, first step. If you fail it, there is no sense pursuing the latter. Only country apparently smart enough to arrive at the next step - direct democracy, is Switzerland.

      What we all really mean is that the current borders in the age of internet grow weaker and weaker. People want to have their own countries with likeminded folks. It’s only a matter of time before internet tribalism materialises in reality as the web permeates our culture deeper and deeper.

      USA will probably split sooner or later unless someone can unite people again.

        If the problem is MAGA, just get rid of those people. I don’t think we should let a bunch of idiots ruin the utopia that is within reach.

      Thats true but i do hope we approach our organization a tad bigger and a bit more sensitive then a cop punishing vigilante ring.

          Because a group to punish cops is just cops punishing criminals with extra steps.

          Systemic oppression is a problem but the police are a symptom rather than the source.

          Police is a tool by those in power, one of the main objectives is to protect private properties because ownership of resources is what competition has always been about.

          I support pretty much any left pushing operation but my personal angle(dream) would be to further radicalize the youth into being more class conscious and to occupy the space we need to not just survive but thrive as decentralized network of solarpunk communities.

            Cops aren’t supposed to punish criminals.

            They’re supposed to catch them. Then a whole other branch of the justice system judges what sort of punishment is warranted and yet another branch of the justice system see to the actual punishing. If things went by the book.

            Unfortunately the system doesn’t exactly work as it’s supposed to.

            Fuck (the current and corrupt) cops.
