- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 3 days ago:
The main problem I see is that earth is not infinite. You have finite resources that are “owned by everyone” by their nature, and capitalism’s competitivness incentivizes their destruction.
World’s countries are allowing companies to destroy the climate, forests, and oceans. They (mostly) know it’s bad, but if they stopped, they would fall behind. And it doesn’t really matter whether the countries are capitalist inside or not - they are competing against each other.
I don’t see why it would be different if instead of countries it would be companies competing. If you have two giant companies fishing in ocean, how would you convince one of them to fish less so it doesn’t destroy the whole fish population? Any fish it doesn’t catch is a gift for the competing company. And sure, two companies can make an agreement, but what if there are hundreds of them? You would think it’s logical for all of them to agree on limits so they don’t kill all the fish - that would be the end every single fishing company. But how is that different from what’s happening with climate change right now?
I’ve seen a video where someone asked a Czech anarcho-capitalist how would the law in ancap work. He responded that the international law is an ancap law. You don’t have a Global State enforcing law on the world’s countries. They do whatever they want on their own property (land), and they form coalitions by free agreement to maintain peace and order and to deal with stuff like climate change.
Well, when I look at the world right now, I feel like that’s the ultimate argument against ancap. We don’t have anything resembling forever global peace, like some people belived after the cold war. The planet is getting warmer and warmer, despite all the global organizations and agreements. Competion is a competition. I don’t really see a way out other than a global state or global anarchy - the leftist kind of one.
And I don’t want to start on why I think a global state is a terrible idea - that’s not what you asked - but I’m obviously for the latter.

I should rewatch Tenet. I think I liked it, and I see criticism all over the internet recently.

I’ve always had boring wallpapers so I thought these drawn were the funniest I’ve ever had, but I just remembered this wallpaper I had at primary school, that 12 years old me though was super funny: Image You put your browser icon in the middle. Hope this is better.

Go to school where all you do is nothing for hours every day and you’ll also eventually start to draw out of pure desperation :(

thanks! if you ever wanted to replicate it, this is the optimal sitting position: Image It’s utterly important to have the drawing arm in the weirdest, most unergonomic position possible. Also place your head on the table so you can take a quick nap if the drawing is too exhausting.

If they sue you for spreading lies about them, consider who would win. Probably discuss with a lawyer and tell them the specific cases you want to write about.
