Comment on Profit over people is a failed system
Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 5 days agoSo you’re saying rural America survives off of mutual aid and community welfare while smacking anarchists with the same hand? You just blow in from Stupidville?

No, I’m saying that your reading comprehension abilities and your lofty ideals of a utopian society where no one needs property and everyone contributes as best they’re able with no concern for getting value out of an exchange proportional to the effort the put in, is indicative of a failed home-school education and a lack of real world experience.

How much effort went into contacting your neighbor about their roof and how much value did you get out of it?

Maybe an hour of time between checking around the house to make sure no one was home, checking with my other neighbors to see if they had his contact info, calling the non-emergency police line, chekcing the country records for property info, digging up my neighbor’s linked in profile, calling the corporate office (getting stuck on hold) then thinking to check the Zillow listing and call the agent that last sold the house.
What was it worth to me? I didn’t have to spend the rest of my day wondering if he was going to come home from a day of work and find that his house needed major repairs that could have been mitigated if only he’d known a few hours earlier. He was able to get a crew out there the same day to get the tree out of his roof and get some temporary coverage up to weather then next few days of storms.

So despite your earlier claim that expecting people to help others without getting something out of it themselves was “indicative of a failed home-school education and a lack of real world experience” you have a story where you spent an hour of your time and effort to help your neighbour without getting anything out of it yourself.
Did you do all that for your neighbour because of your failed home-school education? Or your lack of real world experience?
