I do not exactly label myself an adherent of #anarchism, but I am intellectually curious: I would very much like to know if social harmony might not require Law.

That is what we are taught, as Americans raised and schooled and entertained with conventional American values: society is impossible without Law, without obedience.

I remember to this day having a liberal political science teacher in high school, a fellow I appreciated because he assigned an entertaining variety of texts (including a somewhat goofy 1970s environmentalist tract, Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotopia) who told a story of an animatronic Abraham Lincoln at a Disney park, programmed to tell visitors to obey the law.

@mxchara Any other better way to have humans live together can't work because it requires a huge majority of people to engaged with it and most people are not willing to do that. That's why we end up with systems that are ruled by a minority who set the parameters within which we must all live.
@Rick_d_card @mxchara thats not really true, thats more of the same propaganda the minority use to maintain their control. a very american cultural bias.
@jonahgibberish @mxchara I'm ok with you having that belief
@Rick_d_card @jonahgibberish aren't these soluble problems? society is not static. political issues have been presented to the people in a poisoned manner, through advertising and campaigning in which dirty tricks and deceit are considered normal. reasonable persons avoid engaging with political struggles partly because the currently accepted style in political discourse is intolerably abusive and dishonest. but this can be changed, surely? is it not possible to change the culture of politics?
@mxchara @jonahgibberish Yes. If even 15-20% of the voting public were relentlessly contacting politicians about changes they wanted, kept the pressure on for maybe 3-6 months I believe change would come. Politicians need to know people are engaging with issues. Now they mainly hear from corporations/rich who can afford lobbyists to pressure them. I personally don't even know many people who are willing to take the time to look up petitions and sign them let alone emailing/calling their MP's
