Which book is that about the Spanish Civil War?

On that topic, George Orwell's book, Homage to Catalonia, is also very much recommended.

Exactly, I'm also thinking Mercosur's role in this conflict will be decisive! Or were you talking about the USA that has eaten up the word America?

I agree with your point though, words get eaten up all the time. It's a very good strategy for capturing the attachment people have with the word. It's been done with the word democracy as well.

How dare he carry cards 😱

Maybe you and Dog can become friends 🥹

It's funny how you assume that structured can only happen with violence. You're right, an advanced anarchist society would be a real democracy (not a representative democracy like we have today). It would in fact be way more structured than societies today. If a small group of people can't simply enforce rules on all the others, the bodies that make decisions for the group will have to do a lot more work to make sure they are including everyone in the conversation in order to avoid conflict. It would involve a lot more conversation, deliberation and balancing than our current societies.

I disagree. There can still be a communal security service that resolves conflicts and tries to keep public spaces safe. I read an awful lot about shooting in this thread. I guess that might be a United States of American bias on the web, but still, I don't understand how y'all think going aboiyt shooting others would be the first in anyone's minds if they would be free 😅

The court found those adolescents as guilty of having pointed out Paty to the murderer.

Pretty wild to go to jail for 6 months for telling someone about your teacher that is showing photos of the prophet. Should everyone who retweeted the Charlie Hebdo cartoon also be charged with complicity them?

The vast majority of humans are actually nice, altruistic and not selfish if you treat them with respect. And hence anarchism would not resolve in everyone killing each other.

Is this how stats will be reported on the Fediverse?

Sure, but that only works up to a certain point. When they are ignored, voters will get even more annoyed and he might grow towards next election and become impossible to ignore. The same is happening with Vlaams Belang in Vlaanderen.

Just having allies sell oil for dollars instead of some other currency already helps the US a lot. It's called seigniorage, the more people use the US dollar, the more they can print without feeling much inflation. The whole gulf war was fought to ensure those countries traded oil in US dollar.

In the last year or two, several countries have traded oil for another currency for the first time in ages. Which is big. With Iran sponsoring Palestine a lot, they might have similar ideas. The Arabs of all people understand the oppressive tactics of the US and their currency.

Even from a financial perspective, he says "gold is still the only thing no one can print more of" and "Bitcoin is just a different kind or counterparty risk".

But how many civilians are they going to revive?

Hamas is not really a government at all though. They barely have any support in Gaza. Many years ago some election was held but there was only Hamas to choose from basically. I wouldn't call Hamas in any way representing anyone else but themselves, and not the Palestinian people. Maybe more rather their Arab sponsors.

It's interesting that someone who's being asked questions about this as if he's an expert actually has no clue about what Bitcoin is and how it works.

Yeah I went to check and Wikipedia is linking the wayback machine's version of the guardian article. Fair enough.

Pussies too
