Blackmirror S1E1 the "Pigfucker" episode - which was a reference to a real life political scandal:

Rome wasn't defeated by "other standing armies". So no, that's nothing to do with anything..

Also who the fuck cares about recent US history and the wild west. You sound like a dumb ass who knows very little about the scope of politics, history, and the topics being discussed.

Don't rant as cover when you could entertain the possible truths others are telling you: Community policing was the longest form of stable communities.

Not enforced centralized or uniformed violence.

You should really look into the Zapatistas. They used civil justice, and were relatively stateless. Also, just because someone talks about anarchism doesn't mean they're talking about being without a process of community involved problem solving/justice. You just need to know what anarchosyndicalism is, or communitarianism, or maoism. The previous user did say "anarchism and communism" after all.

Throughout most of human history "standing armies" and "permanent police forces" didn't exist, they were formed from the community when necessary (and often merely to beat up bad bosses or known criminals).

So the whole idea that society pops out of existence without central command over violent forces - doesn't match up against most of human history.

Anything from the Spanish Civil War, Thomas Sankara, The Black Panthers, or the Zapatistas is real.

As is anything from the Tupamaro guerrillas, lots of stuff from Lennin, and Mao was tried and tested, but may need verification. Stuff from Ho Chi Minh is thoroughly tested, as is stuff from the Kurdish YPG.

Lawrence of Arabia's book Seven Pillars of Wisdom was thoroughly tested, as was anything involving Nestor Makhno.

Actually come to think of it, lots of this stuff has been tried and tested.

Israel's United Nations ambassador displayed a yellow star on his chest Monday as he addressed the Security Council, provocatively pledging to wear the badge until members of the body condemn Hamas "atrocities".

His wearing of the badge, which has come to symbolise the oppression of Jews since its imposition in Nazi-occupied Europe, was swiftly criticised by Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, which urged him to wear the Israeli flag instead.

"Blackrock is communist because they have a diversity equity and inclusion policy and are taking over the world so they can enforce it!"

Is one I've seen.

They went to Romania because of it's excellent legal system right? No wait, they went there because they thought it was a highly corrupt system in which they could pay their way out of their crimes.

...and now they're going to get prosecuted because they're a highly visible case.

All that stuff sounds very smashable for instagram likes. Of course, "it's just a prank bro".

My money is still on the logic board having passed away. Apple has been using logic boards that do this for a long time now. It's one of the first things to die on MacBooks.

I believe there's somewhat of an internal rift between The Guardian UK and The Guardian US with the US publication being more progressive on Trans issues.

...of course people in the US still shouldn't talk to Journalists, as plenty of right-wing organisations pretend to be journalists in order to produce "gotcha" content and misinformation.
