  • Suffering from issues most of lemmy is currently suffering from. Relatively non-niche content still needs a critical mass to support it.

    That and the Pac12 collapsing has me not as interested this season. Fuck the Ducks.

    What are some good dystopian novels?
  • I think Le Guins "The Dispossessed" belongs here. Its a dystopian/ utopian comparative about an anarchist planet and a capitalist planet. Highly recommend. I've got a signed copy somewhere.

  • Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.

    Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You'll fucking cum.

    How would anarchism actually work in real life? (Part 1)
  • This is a but weird considering there are plenty of anarchists living day to day all around the world. I'm not going to click it, but the title seems a bit patronizing.

    2023 Edelman report shows that China has the highest trust in government
  • Bro you post hundreds of times a day on here, and it's not even a remotely thought out thesis on society. You're just an imperialist and it's important to call you out on it.

    Which is rich considering he's a well paid software engineer working out of a western Democracy.

    What do you mean when you guys say "Anarchism"?
  • I find there is a lot of intellectualizing and circlejerking around what anarchism 'is' and 'isnt', which is super weird to be because its pretty much antithetical to the philosophy. I've always found it extremely off putting and pretty reminiscent of the kind of circle jerking that happens in online libertarian or online tankie circles. It seems to come from people with no lived experience whose entire perspective is based on the kinds of conditions set up by modern social media (identifying with, describing ones self as, talking and presenting rather than doing or being).

    My experience of anarchism is that of free association. Its people doing for themselves and choosing to do so for those around them as well. Its the idea that we don't need some intellectual, political, or authority to tell us how to form social systems or community. Community and society are emergent properties of the human species, not some a tautology described in some text-book or pamphlet. Its not an intellectual exercise, but a physical process. Its digging a garden with your friends to feed yourselves because you don't want to be hungry and you don't want them to be hungry either. Its free association. Its some one in your community learning to do small engine repair because if not the elephant grass is going to take over. Its making art because art is beautiful and amazing and it doesn't need to have any other purpose than that. Its a recognition that for the moment, you are alive, and thats enough.

    Anarchism is that idea that we are enough and that is plenty. I'm abhorent to the idea of intellectual anarchism. Its not the thing, but a copy of it. If you want to be anarchist, live it.

    I think Le Guins Dispossessed is a good material description of what a lived anarchism ends up looking like. When you read it you know that Le Guin has lived parts of this as well. Its scraping the earth for some calories. Its often times not having much, but having enough. Its taking responsibility for yourself and those around you. Its doing the work yourself and not expecting others to do it for you. If you want to find out what anarchism is, go to the places where it is happening and grab a shovel and do your part to make it a reality.

  • I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it's better than 'redditors', which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

    Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

    My current vote is for lemmings. I think it's cute.
