I think you might have some things to work on. I wish you well on the journey of self discovery

Cowbee genuinely helped me unpacked some shit and helped me to learn and grow in a way I haven’t done since I first realized I wasn’t the only one tired of the system.

Yes but what do they get out of it? What is the purpose?

Because traffic isn’t going to get any better if we prioritize the needs of single person vehicles over public transit. There just isn’t a way to state it better then that.

Cars need to be inconvenienced. Someone needs to have a pretty good reason to pick it over a public transit option.

As it stands by putting cars first above people (which is where the sin of inconvenience puts us) it in the end makes everything worse for everyone. By not allowing any inconvenience for cars, it paradoxical makes everything inconvenient with laws and structure that focuses on the individual. I’d put my studies up but they are on my computer and not on my phone.

But in short, it is not a question of everyone getting what they want. Because if cars get what they want then by default everyone else can’t get what they want. Because the needs of individual flies in the face of the need for the rest of the people to get where they are going on time. This has proven to be fact time and time again.

If you can wait, I can post all my material when make it back to my computer on Tuesday.

Why?

It’s almost like the system doesn’t work and needs to be dismantled

I have seen both. In fact I’ve seen a anarchists and a ML arguing which one they were with each other.

This feels like coming from a very car centric mind set. The idea that a individual in their car should be able to get to point A to B without any change or obstruction. The idea that a person inconvenienced in their car is the worst sin comparable to the inconvenience to the walker or biker.

And everyone likes to ignore that in favor of using them for their argument’s ><

I think I know what is going on. I’ve been thinking of posting about this.

I consider myself a anarchist, but mostly in the sense of a philosophy then a mode of government per sey. (Mostly like most things in my life I have a hard time finding a label I like that I feel like fits me, so I just gravitate to something that feels right and will just further explain if I need to)

I see a lot of MLs on here who consider anarchists here spoiled petite bousgouie (no way I’m spelling it right on the new phone. Please excuse my dyslexic ass)

However something I’ve noticed is a lack of mental heal and psychological analysis when dealing with material conditions.

Most anarchists I know who are more traditional are usually one or more of the following.

Autistic Disabled Queer Racial minority

These people have spent their entire lives at the boot. Being told what to do and to break themselves to be of use of the empire.

Suck it up. Do what’s better for the greater good (capitalism). Don’t ask questions. Do what your better tells you to do. You are faking it. Your pain doesn’t matter.

Now I will say that a lot of the gut reaction to MLs and the theory is reactionary. But its not because they are simping for the ruling class. There is some level of selfishness but not because they don’t want to work. Most that I know would love to work and actually work themselves to hard because of a misplaced idea that to be loved they must be useful.

They are scared to change one boot for another and therefore get stuck in a traumatic cycle of not doing anything. Because of the fear, the idea of not only things staying the same or even getting worse, but also becoming the boot themselves.

There is also a very real and understandable fear of betrayal and everyone who is not of the groups mentioned will get out and shut the door behind them. Something that happens to us a lot.

This is inherently reactionary. But its not coming from the same place as the ruling class. Because these people have nothing else to loose really. Or they have very little to loose.

The truth that is very hard to swollow is that you have to have a manner of trust. A trust that people won’t turn around as soon as its convient to them.

Its why its so important to the west to have this Red Scare against China. If you know that it works. It’s a lot harder to argue against. Because I will say, on it’s surface there are elements of ML theory that sounds way to good to be true. People are going to weild power in a way that isn’t going to fuck the most vulnerable? Yeah right. Get real.

I’ve have both been and seen many self proclaimed anarchists who are this way. Dealing with internalized issues that you don’t even realize you have.

The problem comes when confronted with actual data that they stay their ground. This is when one changes from having reactionary issues to being a reactionary.

This is me not making excuses per say, but trying to give a explanation as someone who has had to confront this themselves literally weeks ago.

Any of the landscaper who were forced to work in the greenhouse. They wouldn’t listen to us because they had created a new gender binary so that all the greenhouse workers were “women” even the cis men.

I kept having to pull their fucking trash out of the compost because they just threw everything in there. They wouldn’t organize the pots and often would just throw them back there if they got in the right spots at all. They wouldn’t do the hard work that involved actually getting in the dirt and would be the only ones allowed to use the machinery. So we would often have to wait for their asses to stop smoking and use the tiller so we could get the work done. I could go on.

Eh, I honestly wouldnt care if I saw this in public. As long as something someone does isn’t a pain to others, non of my business.

To add to this, if you are not carful around people who smoke both, you can get a big hit of nicotine

💯

That’s good to hear. This is something I strongly believe in, but because of my recent understanding with new information upending some things, made me a little concerned.

also wouldn’t be surprised if I’m dealing with a doomed wave. No matter my opinion on doomerism, sometimes the brain and body doesn’t care.

Does this mean according to theory that America is doomed at least until everything implodes to the worst possible outcomes?

Ah okay. Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate it!

A well timed brick would if all else fails… 😇
