You seem to be recoiling from the idea of average people being armed and militant. Like its surprising or outside of normal. Im going to assume you're a reasonable person and have been watching some news. You probably think like I do t

I love a "you people." You're arguing against someone with a "belief system" you seem to know, but I don't know who that is. I've displayed a single preference here, which is anti-police. You can expand th

This forum is skewed towards capitalists, and cops protect property. Its not a juvenile opinion to point out how power works. Its actually my only hobby on this site. And for people who have cops in their family, its not unknown to me. Its

Don't owe it to me, set it on fire (its deflationary lol) but money is a proxy for power and we all are owed the right to be free from tyranny. And if that means making sure no single person or small group of people have too much power

Ah yes people should be able to enter into unequal contracts whenever they want. Because that has traditionally gone well.

No thats not what we're talking about. Please elaborate on the times when a large institution restricted peoples freedom for their "own good." The history of this is extremely clear. Software being involved is just an obscuri

Except the trade offs only go one way. Its a rachet. You never get more free, open systems. Over time your life and the life of your children only gets more bound. It's frog boiling. You're displaying the exact naivety he's t

As a fellow who moved from a city to the rural for this reason, I can tell you why this zeitgeist exists. Because the more observant of us read our history and figured out that technology and software in particular is a weaponized form of c
