You don't have to be grownup to be a princess. In fact, if you were a princess in the middle ages, you didn't even have to be grown up to be in an arranged marriage designed to make your parents richer. Your body could be sold at any age.

Step 1: raise reality consciousness of the working class
Step 2: mutual aid and practice magic
Step 3: communist revolution
Step 4: as a communist society, develop further technologies of mind and machine to further unchain our perceptions

Archimedes said "give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to balance it, and I shall move the earth". I believe science will give us ever more power over our experiences. I already use the astral plane to be Myself, we need to increase access to magical technology and perform more research.

He's a god. An evil one. Humanity creates gods when they worship ideas. Donald Trump isn't a man, he's an idea, festering in the minds of millions of people. His power comes from that belief and reverence. His followers commit all these crimes in his name, and THAT is what it means to be a god.

Yes, much in the same way that syndicalism or mutualism are anarchism with extra steps. Soulists are anarchists who are a little more open minded, and willing to challenge a couple more hierarchies. Realism, the belief in an objective universe, is the root of all conservativism, and must be destroyed in order to reach liberation.

This is true, and this is false - source: me?”

No, I don't have the expertise in indigenous metaphysics to write that dialogue. It was written by James Cross after many long conversations we had about soulism and Tiwi beliefs.

Soulism, put simply, is the theory that hierarchy is bad, and reality is a hierarchy we have the ability to abolish. You can read My manifesto on soulism at http://soulism.net/

As to why I made this comic? If you go to the polcompball wiki page on soulism, you'll see a disclaimer stating that soulism is fictional. The soulist community has had many arguments with the wiki's admin team about this label. Today, this comic suddenly came to Me, and I just had to draw it. I thought I might post it somewhere on Lemmy. Blahaj's soulism community was deleted by the admins, and this was the next best place. I do wish I'd been able to post it to a Lemmy community where the background required to fully appreciate the meme was more normalised, but such communities seem not to last very long. Last year I attempted to create lemmy.soulism.net, but I ran into problems with the cost of VPSes.

 

Explanation: Marxism-Leninism is a fictional ideology invented by Joseph Stalin. Anarcho-Capitalism is a fictional ideology invented by Murray Rothbard. Soulism, contrary to popular perception, is a coherent ideology practiced by actual people who (unwillingly) live in the real world. In My conversations with Indigenous Australians, I've learned Soulism bears a remarkable similarity to the metaphysical views of certain Aboriginal nations, especially the Tiwi people, which have been stable and which have guided entire societies over many thousands of years.

This article presents findings based on the outcomes of research conducted with 8,883 participants from 33 countries. It employs mixture modeling (latent profile analysis) to classify countries into latent classes. The country-level analyses are based on three social attitudes factor scores of Nastiness, Religiosity, and Morality. The results indicate that the main sources of cross-cultural differences are with respect to a broadly defined Conservatism/Liberalism. Three groups of societies—that is, “psychological continents”—appear to exist in the world today. They are as follows: (a) liberal European countries plus Canada and Australia; (b) conservative countries from South and South-East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America; and (c) all other countries, including the United States, Russia, and China, that are in between liberal and conservative groups. In addition, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, cognitive test performance, and governance indicators were found to be low in the most conservative group and high in the most liberal group.

There are eight countries belonging to the first group, namely Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Canada, Australia, and Ireland. The majority of these are Western European countries and/or have Anglo heritage. These countries score at the low level on all three variables included in this study.

Fourteen countries belong to this group, namely, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Morocco, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. They score at the medium level of Nastiness, Religiosity, and Morality.

Eleven countries belong to this group—Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Argentina, and Peru. They all score high on the Nastiness, Religiosity, and Morality scales included in the analysis.

I knew. I was at one of the protests.

I just got a message from Medicare inviting Me to register as an organ donor. I thought I already was. I remember ticking the organ donation box when I first applied for My drivers license.

If I'd have died in the last few years, My organs wouldn't have saved any lives. Who knows how many other people want to donate but aren't registered? I think Australia should have an opt-out system instead of an opt-in system, so that people don't need to make an effort in order to do the right thing. Doing the right thing should be easy.
