Ποιοι είμαστε εμείς για να πούμε σε κάποιον τι μπορεί ή δεν μπορεί να κάνει; "Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?" ~ John Locke “I claimed that ‘INDIVIDUALIST ANARCHISM and COMMUNIST ANARCHISM are the same, or nearly so, in terms of moral motivations and ultimate goals’. I know that one could counter my claim with hundreds of texts and plenty of deeds of self-proclaimed individualist anarchists, which would demonstrate that #individualist

"The internet is at an inflection point.
Nothing shows that more than the recent arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France and the #Xban in Brazil.
This movement is more widespread than it might otherwise appear.

For a long time, it was hard to push back against an understanding of the internet framed through an #individualist and #antistatist #cyberlibertarian lens…"

We really messed up with #cars.

How many times do you say to yourself, "Walking to get the things I need is great, but wouldn't it be better if I could load the family into the car, drive 45 minutes to the store for food, then drive home again?”

The entire concept of the modern US/Canada is built around owning a car. There are no plans to change this. Our #individualist approach to #infrastructure will be our downfall (one of many).

The core of all this #individualist #bullshit that's turning us all into antisocial assholes is the mantra of #choice.

Choice has never mattered, and will never matter.

When you give someone a choice, you give them nothing. Choice is an evil, a hardship you inflict on someone, not a boon, and nothing good you have ever done to anyone.

Every time you think a choice is good, I can think of a better situation without one.
