Assuming that hearing protection act part of the bill goes through, I could start another side hustle 3D printing suppressors and selling them for cheap. A lot of those high end suppresors are supposedly going to be in demand and out of stock.
But just like you, I'm not entirely optimisitc about it either. They are probably being lax about it because they know Americans won't do anything with firearms other than take them to firing ranges. They aren't even the driving force of military action anymore. Drones and precision strikes seem to be the way forward.
Agreed about surveillance vs troops. Any grassroots movement that truly threatens the structures of power can be quickly infiltrated and quashed. No movement has much of a chance unless it is backed by a faction of the elite. Really most of history is just elite factions in conflict, the idea that βthe peopleβ can rise up is both a distraction and a cover (cf the so-called color revolutions)
I love the way you organized and show your books! Much nicer than the simple way I have mine haha. There are some good ones on your list, some are on my to read list and some I have read as well.
@wizardperspective that would be a good part of that bill, but there are other horrid parts such as the selling of US public lands. Hopefully it fails and we get the hearing protection part another time.
@colexdev Yeah. I can always play the waiting game. Ammo is too expensive anyways to really care personally.
But it's culture, mostly on the internet, with its low barrier to entry that lets amateurs take over, that spreads the problem by making us believe it isn't a problem and that we actually need the complexity.
The state (monopoly on violence) creates the conditions necessary for its own existence. Very good post.
It's also funny how you released this around the same time my friend finished his own post against anarchism. I think to us it is a matter of semantics more than anything
Unfortunately I forgot where I read about it, but this concept always stuck with me - A "right" only exists when it's threatened.
Beautifully worded, as always. There may be no solutions, but it is nevertheless important to keep repeating this kind of knowledge.
read some other articles on your site, it's great to meet a fellow david graeber fan and anarchist! looking forward to more writings from you
YES! Whether approached spiritually ( https://youtu.be/o7eIVk0W3S4 ) or scientifically ( https://youtu.be/EQnUFxoFqNY ), "government" in most senses of the term is anathema to human flourishing. However, I feel that serious practical work that would render it completely "irrelevant" is relatively scarce (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_confederalism ).
But there is a deeper biohistory at the basis of that ( https://pkl.net/~node/2RCD/2R/index.html#8 ). Ever since you mentioned minarchy, I've been wanting to share ideas for self-sufficient communities interlinked through continual mutual aid/skillsharing/peacemaking/collaboration. Instead of "seizing the means", useful knowledge must be so ubiquitous that everyone knows how to make anything needed to survive.
Most "management" tends to make organizations that are "toxic" (e.g.: rigid hierarchies based on meritocratic concepts, punishment/reward dynamics and purity spirals, the banality of evil/structural violence fostered by bureaucratic accountability sinks, schizmogenesis through zero-sum games, etc.). In contrast, this kind of organization functions like a healthy and sane organism.
Though it can be complex sometimes, it is not "structureless" ( https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm ). In practice, it is like a combination of fab cities ( https://books.fablabbcn.org/reflowhandbook/contemporary-city-models-and-urban-governance/fab-cities ) with sociocratic ( https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy/ ) and restorative circles...
...( https://restorativejustice101.com/restorative-circles-a-guide-for-facilitation/ ) which generally follow Ostrom's design principles ( https://youtu.be/QTQPy9tC5WE ) and that are directed towards maintaining the health of every "bioregion" on Earth in ways that are truly "sustainable" ( https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/scispirit/SysDyn/sustainsys ).
It is possible to diagnose where it is "sick" at any level of scale ( https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/scispirit/LST/subsystems01 ) and fix it before it turns parasitic ( https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/scispirit/Misc/newecology ). I can go on and on about the type of "transition engineering" that would be necessary, but hopefully that gives a general idea of what humanity is evolving into.
I struggle to hold any ideological opinions of the sort, mainly because there's always a disconnect between what we think is ideal and what we think is reasonably achievable.
I think a pretty common consensus (anarchist, various forms of communism, microcap, whatever) is scaling back, staying within Dunbar's number and all. Within each of these tighter communities, I'm not sure if it really matters what they each do.
one of the crazier crypto-anarchists might be peter thiel, who wants to establish a technocracy, bypassing traditional nation-states in favor of a "network-state" as popularized by balaji. don't think it would amount to anything but another dystopia.
An absolutely grounded and accurate take, I agree with you in many ways. Always enjoy reading your thoughts on various topics. -k.w
