This link:http://www.anarchism.net/steppes.htm takes you to a fairly long read on a fictional anarchist society set in Mongolia. It is an interesting take on how an anarchist society could work. [link] [comments […]

I am usually rather quiet about my political beliefs because everyone seems to have very passionate ideas on not only politics but religion also. That being said, I am a firm believer in Anarchy as a means to save the United States from a corrupt government. I sincerely do not care if you are a fascist, a communist, a conservative, or a donkey. All i want is for Amercans to stop being childish little tattle tails. Do you really need someone to tell you to wear your seatbelt or to turn your music down when other people are trying to sleep? If something needs to be fixed in our city we should be able to come together as a community to solve the problem rather than rely on someone else to spend half a million of our tax dollars to commission a study to find out the problem in question will cost a quarter million to fix. I am not a bad person, but i do attend May Day protests every year with my 7 year old son. This past May Day some Donald Trump supporters approached the two of us while we were sitting on a curb eating Seattle dogs (polish sausage with cream cheese, mustard, & sour kraut) and told me all about how i was a terrible parent and cps should take my son away from me for enangering his life. I guess my point in writing this is to tell people that although these A.N.T.I.F.A. people have began dressing like Anarchists, we are not the same. If I were to be honest i would say A.N.T.I.F.A. was created as a smear campaign against people standing up to corrupt government officials after we had started gaining some traction. Thank you very much if you read all the way through my rambling. I apologize that I am not very good at putting stories together, but please be aware that we are not A.N.T.I.F.A. & even if we were I don't think approaching someone and starting a heated argument about how they are terrible is a good way to change anyone's perspective. submitted by /u/timmay206 [link] [comments […]

An-Com" is a contradiction in terms. My photoshopped picture is only an example of their impact. ...first they came for the windows, and I did not speak up, because I was not a window. Then they came for the garbage dumpsters, and again I did not speak up, because I was not a garbage dumpster...... Change will happen, not in our lifetime, but evenually. Not through violence in the streets, but through people who will see the truth and exponitiate that truth through a society, All of the masked spray painted bullshit, I get it, it raises awareness. at the end of the day, who have you truly hurt , but the taxpayer, you claim to champion. submitted by /u/Donnsmegma [link] [comments […]

Our objective will be to get them to understand that they can never treat people like that again, and for them to learn that in the age of the Internet such actions can be responded to with reactions that can cause them significant losses in revenue. Let's see just how much chaos Reddit can cause if we use it to coordinate a trolling attack against one of this country's flagship companies. If you're interested in creating chaos, and having some fun into the bargain, get in touch. submitted by /u/russellprose [link] [comments […]

Have you read 'Fight Club', or seen the movie? Well it's time for the common man to fight back, and the Internet provides us with the ideal tool with which to do it. Our first target will be United Airlines for behaving in a way that ignored the dignity of a PAYING customer. We coordinate making provisional bookings on their flights at the busiest times of year, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas etc, then we never confirm the bookings. We also coordinate to flood the site at specific times in order to compromise the efficiency of their servers. If you're a normal person that's had enough of being fucked around; join fight club.

Hi there, this is a series of questions that I am asking different political subs to fully understand their stances (and see where I have common ground for my own curiosity).

CLICK HERE to donate to the Against Malaria Foundation INSTRUCTIONS HERE LEADERBOARD HERE This is the third political subreddit charity drive - the first raised more than $56,000 dollars for DeWorm the World and the second raised more than $81,000 dollars for the Against Malaria Foundation. This time we're raising money for the Against Malaria Foundation again, an organization that works to distribute insecticide-treated bed nets in the developing world to combat malaria. This charity was chosen in accordance with effective altruism principles - doing the absolute most good possible with the dollars we donate. AMF is widely regarded as one of the most (if not the most) effective charity in the world in terms of impact per dollar spent. AMF has received the 'Top Charity' rating from GiveWell in five of the last six years, as well as 'Top Charity' ratings from Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save for six years running. Some malaria facts: Malaria kills nearly half a million people every year and more than 200 million fall ill. Before bed nets were made available, it was many times that. Nets are a proven intervention - a more effective a way of saving lives than any other. 70% of the deaths are children under 5 Malaria is the world's single largest killer of pregnant women 90% of the deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa Yet malaria is totally preventable and treatable. Nobody need die. Prevention is better than treatment. The most effective means of prevention is sleeping under a mosquito net Specifically a Long-Lasting Insecticide treated Net (LLIN) Each net costs about two US dollars ($2) Malaria is one of the largest causes of human suffering in the world and we can prevent it. At a rough approximation every 1000 nets saves a life, and prevents dozens of others from the misery of contracting malaria. And it's an economic issue too - malaria acts as a drag on economic activity and actively impoverishes the third world. Every dollar towards malaria prevention leads to 12 dollars in economic gain. All donations are anonymous if desired, and for a great cause. Donate today! CLICK HERE to donate to the Against Malaria Foundation submitted by /u/baggytheo [link] [comments […]

The US DOES NOT have a left wing party. Both Republicans(right) and Democrats(center right) are socially right wing capitalist parties. Socially Progressive = wanting change or progression away from the current status quo/values/culture. Socially Conservative = wanting to conserve the current status quo/values/culture or return to a previous status quo/values/culture. Everything about the status quo/values/culture is changed<----------------->Nothing changes or return to a previous status quo. Democrats want moderate changes. Not massive society altering changes. Libertarians are more "progressive" than social democrats. -Libertarians are for legalizing all drugs(massive change) -Libertarians are for legalizing prostitution(massive change) -Libertarians are for legalizing gay marriage(massive change) -Libertarians are for privatizing entire departments of the government(massive change) -Libertarians are for ending all government subsity of private business.(massive change) -Libertarians are for abolishing income taxes.(massive change) We are way more progressive than democrats. Democrats are not socialists. They are center-right capitalist social democrats. They are egalitarian pro-statist liberals. Libertarians (in the US for the most part)are minarchist anti-statist liberals. Republicans are socially conservative liberals. You can't be a social converative if you're not trying to conserve something socially. You can't be social progressive if your not trying to progress socially. submitted by /u/SneakyVoluntaryist [link] [comments […]

I'm sure you're probably sick of these by now, but this seems like an interesting way of posing a common deontological dilemma. Here's the problem. A person is tied to a rail, and a trolley is hurtling towards them that will certainly kill them. You have the choice to redirect the trolley down a track that nobody is on at the moment. This will save their life. Unfortunately, there is a malevolent spirit watching your decision closely. If you do not redirect the trolley, that track will remain empty. If you do, the spirit will put ten other people on that side track, and they too will certainly die as a result. You are aware of the spirit's intentions. What do you do? The Utilitarian sees no functional difference here between this and the conventional trolley problem. Virtue ethicists, too, can probably fudge their way through this, in that reasonable assessment of the actions of one's opponents is a part of good action and as long as one has taken the full problem into account is probably legitimized either way. Deontologists have a particular issue here, which is that we need to contend with the reality of a world where people exist that do evil in our assessment of our own moral responsibility. I might reasonably intend to save the person on the track, in accordance with my duty towards others and the fact that the track is empty, and so should not hold myself to have done wrong by flipping the switch. However, my knowledge of the spirit reveals that I can reasonably predict a greater degree of harm will in fact follow from this act in accordance with duty. While I could justify this to myself by stating that the blame for the action falls on the Spirit, rather than myself, I would need to do so (in accordance with reason) in the full knowledge that the results would have been otherwise had I not made the choice that I did. There is a get-out clause built into this particular phrasing of the problem, which is that we are in a world of Spirits, so reason may not apply, and the deontological project as a whole is thus undermined. Of course, that is to make an enormous concession, because it suggests that it is possible that the presence of certain types of evil in the world has the potential to undermine morality tout court. A deontologist would struggle to defend the thesis that we do not live in such a world. Might anyone have some thoughts on how one could resolve or approach this dilemma without falling back on utilitarian evaluation? submitted by /u/PhiloSofie [link] [comments […]

hello there, I came across a very interesting video debate on YouTube where scholars and professionals argued for and against Humanitarian Interventions and whether the outcome of it can be considered good or harmful. This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUrEXzrDdR8 The points of view of the debaters were, in my personal opinion, super interesting and made me think about utilitarianism and its possible contextualization over the topic of H.I. Why? well, both branches (act/rule-utilitarianism) can be applied to the issue and still have totally different outcomes. What do you think about that? I personally find that act-utilitarianism might create so many catastrophic outcomes if applied to H.I. since every situation of humanitarian crisis is different to each other. Moreover, act-utilitarianism does not look at all at the ways the greatest good is achieved, meaning that the way the good is achieved might still cause harm to somebody. That harm is minor than the good that is achieved, yet somebody eventually would suffer. in the case of H.I. this might mean securing the life of a population in a country affected by a civil war by killing some innocents in the process of warfare. Do you think rule-utilitarianism might work better in a situation of a humanitarian crisis? after all, its characteristic makes this ethical paradigm more malleable and flexible to the given situation, right? submitted by /u/BigFatLama [link] [comments […]
