That’s a thought I did not need in my head.

I think this is where “compartmentalization” comes in. Similar in concept to how you are forced to wall off sadness when a loved one dies so that you can continue to live your life, I think there are mentally competent right wingers, but they wall off the logic and reasoning so that it applies only to machines. They do this because if those ideas of logic and reason get beyond the wall/outside of the compartment, the meaning of their lives falls apart.

I’ll be in my office downloading some files.

fr, I’m living in a bubble for the rest of my life.

It’s just the radioactive waste we don’t know what to do with and becoming a military or terrorist target parts that are dangerous.

As another commenter mentioned, the government (the state) is not a person and cannot care.

Government and the state are tools. The thing about some tools is that they are really only useful towards certain ends. The state is fundamentally a tool of maintaining and expanding power. While it’s possible for those with power to do some good things, their overall effect is to allow the domination of most by the few.

Government requires a state to function, a state as in a subset of the population claiming exclusive acceptable use of force in a given area.

So, we can refuse people that seem right wing too right?

It’s funny people think there’s going to be a nice future where you can choose to live in Phoenix or some other fine place surely with plenty of water and no consequences from climate change or fascism.

It’s pretty much solarpunk or die when it comes to future anything.

Fucking agree so hard.

Beau (of the fifth column) has a cool shirt that says something like “Beyond these borders do not lie a lesser people.”

People aren’t illegal.

Holy fuck! What the hell is wrong with some people?

Awesome! I wish them success!

Capitalism has no interest in preservation except where it is profitable. Thinking about the long-term future, archaeologist’s success and acting on it is not profitiable.

That’s funny, I’m testing YouTube alternatives.
