David Graeber talks a lot about this.
What would you think would help? I personally feel like more voluntary collectives could help protect people from these things, and help make life more worth living.
What do you think?
- anoncoward111 8y agoI hope some day the most corrupt and restrictive people and businesses in society just leave us alone and find some other profitable thing to do. A mafia is defined as a group of people who create a problem and then ask victims to pay for protection from that problem. End the mafias in this world and we'll have a lot more happiness and entrepreneurship
- TaylorAlexander 8y agoI agree. I feel like the only way we can rid ourselves of those people is by building a system where those people cannot benefit. A challenge worth taking on, I think.
- anoncoward111 8y agoIf I could live somewhere extremely rural and remote, like the deep woods of Maine, and a drone could cheaply drop me supplies every week or something, I could get a good little set up going outside of extortionary forces. But, once that technology exists, the extortionary forces will just move in to the now-inhabitable-area. Tbh, it's much better to just make peace with it and try to avoid thinking about it unless you have so much power and influence that you can root out corruption somehow. I aint got that tho
