Well... The world is a lie.

My dachshunds do it, and it is very disturbing to wake up to them 3 inches from my face, making out with each other aggressively, as if to say "that's right. You're still single, bitch"

What about an Android alternative? I don't use any, so can't recommend, but I'm sure one of them will be a knockoff of a similar size.

It does make me wonder where they swiss government will acquire their coke. With weed, it's fairly easy to grow it wherever you need to, but with coke, you pretty much have to be in certain regions, yeah?

If that's the case, is this still going to be supporting those same cartels? If more countries legalized, we could maybe hope to see legally grown, harvested, and processed coke without all the slave labor and shit. Could be a real boon for South American countries, too, if the cartels lost power, and the cocoa plantations could be nationalized.

I just woke up, so I may be just talking out my ass, though

Assuming you're not just trolling, which, judging by your post history is... Unlikely... I'm going to suggest you read up a little bit about the basics of anarchism. Specifically anarchocommunism, as it is the most common tendency to run into online. There are several foundational texts that are written in English and Spanish. Some authors to consider: Peter Kropotkin, Mikhail Bakunin, Emma Goldman, Pierre Joseph Proudhon. For something more contemporary, check out David Rovics.

For real world examples of actually existing anarchist societies, read about the Spanish Civil War, a good book I can recommend on the subject "The Anarchist Collectives : Workers Self-Management in Spain, 1936-1939" by Sam Dolgoff

Another decent recommendation is The Soul of Man Under Socialism by Oscar Wilde.

For a short read with good explanations behind the principles of anti authoritarianism check out Law and Authority by Kropotkin.

For something to get the heart thumping a bit more, We Do Not Fear Anarchy, We Invoke It by Robert Graham.

The idea that political thought would be repressed in an anarchist society is... An interesting take. Anarchists generally want to function based on some kind of collective decision making process, such as consensus. There are also anarchist adjacent trends, such as council communism that are worth looking into. In a pinch, "Google Murray bookchin" and find yourself somewhere in the neighborhood (or at least the next one over).

And to answer your question outright, if a bunch of anarchists decided to form a society large enough to be viable and self sufficient, one of two things would happen: the US would turn it into a glass parking lot or ... The US would turn it into a glass parking lot.

Is this like the digital equivalent of a million monkeys with a million typewriters?

He is. Poor guy, though. He's had a lot of stuff in his life. He also had vericose veins on his dick and balls, and the pee hole was in the wrong spot when he was born.

And no, I'm not sharing info he'd want hidden. He's very, very open this stuff and tries to destigmatize. Just in case anyone was concerned.

Something to do with the jelly in your eyes. Google eye floaters. It scared me enough as a kid that I never told anyone about it, because I thought I had parasites and was "dirty."

Ever played d&d? The number of people who get furious every time they read the 3.5 players handbook because it uses she as default about 50% of the time is hilarious

You missed kale and brassica canis.

I'd love to see the US fully mapped out with true highspeed rail, but part of the problem is the amount of time off work Americans have. We're guaranteed nothing, and a pretty good portion of us have to use vacation time for sick days. A travel option that takes longer isn't going to take off here because of that. People won't spend an extra day travelling, changing trains, et cetera, when their entire vacation is a 3 day weekend so that they only have to use one vacation day in case they have to take their kid to the doctor 4 months later.

Not even close to arguing against the trains, just saying that we need to change some other shit, too. We need better labor laws that couple with things like forced caps on flights, less subsidiaries for airlines, the tracks being nationalized, priority given to Amtrak on certain lines, and better accessibility on the trains themselves.

WTF is that 3rd picture of a shifter? I've never seen anything like that.
