    This is not quite genuine.

    Anarcho-capitalists generally don’t like corporations, either, they just believe that the state plays a crucial role in keeping them afloat, through patents, bailouts, and corruption. They commonly believe that without the state, the markets will generally revert to many small individual actors.

    This is unlikely to be true, however, as the economies of scale by themselves heavily reward massive corporations, and private police and military will likely allow them to stronghand their opponents.

    If we are serious about promoting left-wing ideas, we should take our opponents as they are, and not build strawmen for ourselves to ridicule.

    1. Wrong community, maybe? Lol

    2. iirc, algae are better oxygen producers per units of mass and volume, so a tank full of algae might actually be better than a tree. One issue though is that trees can grow on open ground, while algae require a tank to be built, most likely negating the economic benefits. Also, trees are more aesthetically pleasing.






  • For future reference: there are fields “URL” (the link) and “Thumbnail URL” (the picture). If you paste the image, the Thumbnail URL field disappears, and picture URL appears in URL field.

    Cut it, and Thumbnail URL field appears again. Paste it into the Thumbnail URL field, and enter the link to whatever you want to be opened into the URL field again.

    Voila - you have a link AND a custom picture. It’s weird, it shouldn’t work this way, but it works.









  • I totally agree with you that gender wars are artificial and meant to distract people from the core issues. Divide and conquer kinda thing.

    But that sits exactly at the core of my initial argument. Blaming wide groups of people, among other things, provides completely unnecessary wars out of thin air.

    This doesn’t deny the fact that people of each gender may face issues that are gender-specific to some degree. Men are more likely to be socially isolated, women are more likely to become victims of sexual abuse, etc. etc. This doesn’t mean we should measure who has it worse, but it has to be taken into consideration if we want to correct the course and make everyone actually equal. In this case, we need to address specific sources of male loneliness, as there are some factors unique to men that lead to this.

    People acting on gender issues together, not as two divided groups, is a great exercise in civil power and unity, which is helpful for any revolutionary activity.
