• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy it later, if possible. Companies abroad are well aware that costumers won’t buy their products while tariffs are in place. But it’s very likely that those tarrifs will end or be massively reduced after some weeks or months. Buy it then and those companies can sell those products to you just like nothing happened. They can wait some time, it doesn’t really matter to them when you buy it.

  The same goes off course for buying before the tarrifs take effect. Like apple fans are right now emptying the iPhone shelfs, before the tarrifs hit the component imports from China.

  Of course that only works with certain products, that you can actually afford to wait for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since militaries are authoritarian, even in democratic countries; What would a military of a stateless/anarchist society look like?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you made a good point that highlights the change of anarchist ideas over time. I dint think many modern anarchists would be fine with this model nowadays. But anarchists back then came from a time where monarchists still ruled and even the idea of democracy and equality was kind of radical. So they had probably different ideas of authority and freedom.

  In the anarchist brigades in the Spanish Civil War soldiers elected their officers democratically. In combat they still had ultimate command authority but afterwards soldiers could replace then if they where disappointed in their decisions.

  If you actually wanna guilt this

  Being a moralizing prick

  All OP did was stating a simple fact. If you feel the need to outrage over science, then the problem is certainly not OP.

  The bitter thing is: we could just implement the “Everyone does X” button. By creating according laws. But that doesn’t happen either. Because suddenly “I would do it, if everyone else did it too” turns out to be just an excuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing against disabled people but how come I can't replace my arm with something augmented that can carry more weight? Also other parts? My disabled bro asked me this and got me thinking⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good question. One of the major examples are wheelchair. They could be much faster then they are but they are deliberately capped to leg speed. Of course for safety reasons and so on but its kinda obvious that we don’t trust anyone disabled to excel non-disabled people.

  I was wondering the same. Simply seems like a right-wing meme relabeled. Although notice the cyclist and colored hairs.

  Take a look at Exodus.
