Flippanarchy

George Carlin said it, and it's true. Rights don't exist. We've gotten to the level where things that used to seem protected are now violated, and pointing to the laws that say they are rights doesn't do anything. Once checks and balances disappeared, the ones in control could do whatever they want, especially when everyone else is still trying to use the rules that aren't being acknowledged or enforced to "fight" back.

This take isn't even controversial, it's just true. Same with the privileges temporarily given by the supreme court, same when they called people "essential workers" when they meant "expendable human capital".

100% facts

They don't have a "good" president, only "less evil".

They don't mind if the "less" turns right every day, and it's so bad they'll accept someone who'll bomb and invade some other country again if they could go back to how things were, which is getting away with abhorent shit abroad and claiming to be the 'greatest country' ever.

A call for human rights that can't be taken away by the first idiot is not anarchism, it's the most basic common sense and logic upon which a good society should be built.

Anything that relies upon the labor of another person is a privilege that can be revoked at their whim.

This is quite literally all of human history. The state rules based on one simple truth, they are the sole arbiters of violence. Might makes right kinda thing. When few rule over many, humans in power will always want more. And them taking away your freedom is their last bastion when they already have everything.

Noticing shit libs coming here arguing against anarchism because we dont try to stop problems they have, that it is not proven we would have, by making them worse.

Pointing out potential pitfalls by saying 'you could have a lesser version of this problem that a greater version of plays a large role in defining our whole shit' and then just not engaging with any response because they're just here to justify shit they know is vile and doesn't even work for the thing they're using to justify it.

Its like the whole 'what about violence?' 'why is this violence happening?' 'totally unjustified, appeared from nowhere, has no cause, you can only kill it or accept it, not prevent it. Except by violence.' 'so it violates thermodynamics?' 'No it's just people being shitty!' Argument. Super fucking done and not looking to have it again in literally every thread on left politics.

And the weird double standard, where were reckless and bad unless we have pre-planned every aspect of a system that is fundamentally about including and nurturing agency rather than imposing a predetermined thing, and done so in a way that solves literally all their problems while making it so they never have to think, they must oppose us and we're just dreaming impossible dreams.

Is there a way other than blocking users to stop seeing their bullshit? Like a thread block? Or a thread server block?

Lemmy. Does not. matter.

LW has like 3k regular real users max. Nothing here matters.

How do you build such a system though? Every system is eventually exploitable. The US system of checks and balances was actually a pretty solid attempt, but it eventually fell to corruption. The USSR was a noble attempt, but it eventually fell to corruption.

How do you construct a system which has the authority to prevent corrupt individuals from oppressing others, but doesn't oppress people itself?

What am I missing here?

While I agree that human rights should be written in the constitution of the country, you can always change constitution.

Besides, Trump is already ignoring the law so I don't know how you would fix the rights issue.

So very true. This is why government can not exist

Break it down to build it up. It's the only way. But nothing is infallible.
