it was me sorry

Many native societies (who often still exist today), the zapatistas, in the ZADs, the Paris commune, Rojava, and also potentially most of the time humanity existed. I could dig up more, but arguing with somebody who has opinions like that is tedious.

“Meanwhile, antihumanists have divested the very concept of Progress of all relevance and meaning in the farrago of human self-denigration that marks the moods of the present time. A skepticism that denies any meaning, rationality, coherence, and continuity in History, that corrodes the very existence of premises, let alone the necessity of exploring them, renders discourse itself virtually impossible”

Bookchin, you can find the context here

I wasn’t being serious, there’s no truth in that comment - I added a tone indicator

That’s great to hear you’re trying to be better than your skewed view of humanity! I hope I was wrong.
I don’t know you, so hating you is kind of difficult and I don’t want to anyways :). I do absolutely despise the opinions you’ve presented in this thread though. I understand them on an emotional level, but I really encourage you to try to grow past them. It only helps those who want to make the world a worse place, and I personally think that empathy and cooperation is the way out.
I understand that’s more difficult than just throwing the towel.

On the off-chance the reason is the first, I recommend Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid” as an intro. It’s free in the anarchist library and other places.

This worldview is getting increasingly more common with more people falling for eco-fascist talking points. In my experience it most often boils down to two reasons why this happens: lack of education or unwillingness.
As you mentioned you’re in a privileged position, I am just gonna accuse you of the second. And that’s a shame. I bet with all the time you have from being free from being forced to do wage labour you could actually do good in the world. Your generalisation is an insult to every good person in the world, and I find that to be narrow-minded and disgusting.

Oh yeah. Where are those civilizations? Exactly.

Would you mind explaining how you answer that question yourself? Just so I don’t misunderstand you.

So what you’re saying because “power over” is bad, humans are bad? There are plenty humans civilizations who did a better job at preventing power, maybe your misanthropy is a symptom of a narrow worldview?

My most positive but realistic prediction: Bitcoin is gonna stay around as a pump-and-dump scheme to make the rich richer. Other cryptocurrencies will slowly fade away including (as one of the latest) ETH. They are not suitable as a currency and are more of a gambling investment opportunity. Per default, most cryptocurrencies are a privacy nightmare, especially Bitcoin.
There are exceptions. XMR is fairly stable in value and is actually really close to what many people want: cash but digital. If GNU Taler takes off, there’s will be a more comfortable option for paying while retaining privacy, making XMR more obscure.
I assume laws and the state will also have an influence, especially with the climate catastrophe questioning the immense amount of energy necessary to run all of this. Even if crypto were more efficient if it replaced fiat, it’s not gonna happen. There’s hard power preventing it. Both at the same time is reckless when there are people dying.
Also money sucks in general so best case scenario it gets thrown onto the trash of history.

inb4 crypto shills: Remember that there are people whose income and investments depend on people believing bitcoin is more than gambling.

Nooo not my golden pumpkins

Me too 😭
I don’t want to “kubectl”, I want to " make" 😭

I think the old flag looking like a pride flag

In a “I’m horny” way or in a “I’m suffering” way?

That’s not correct though. The GNU+Linux version is missing the bootloader and initramfs.

The Linux boot sequence link doesn’t work for me
