My humor is an acquired taste and streaming and/or video editing is tedious and expensive, so never gonna happen.

Absolutely on both. Peter Kropotkin made some compelling arguments, though I'm not sure if he saw himself that way, and I always liked his work. I have a tiny copy of Conquest of Bread somewhere around here.

I learned that in my 20s. My school and city library didn't have books on it I guess. Once I started following anarchism then, I went down the rabbit hole of research. Ancom, Ancap, Mutualism, Volunteerism, etc. (Ancap is the worst in my opinion. It always seemed like oligarchy with extra steps).

I will never understand not wanting to understand. Why wouldn’t you want to understand your POV *and* your enemy's if for no more reason than just reinforcing that they suck and you rule?

Maybe this is my autistic brain overthinking stuff, but it's weird to me. They're weird to me. That's all./done

My dad, a righty thru and thru, read a bunch of books on different political ideology in HS, and decided Republican was the way to go for rah-rah military USA reason. But like me, he at least was willing to learn at some point. The dude's old now. So what the fuck changed since he graduated? /5

Once I read an Ann Coulter book to see if there was any sense of a valid response, and as excepted, I disagreed. It still gave me insight into what a monstrous ideology people like her preach. It didn't convince me to agree with her, but it helped me know my enemy. Is knowledge so scary for them?/4

I know asking them to read anything political outside their comfort zone's hard, but are they really so unwilling to learn about who they perceive as their enemies 70 yrs out? Are they afraid just reading it will make them agree, hence abandoning their own ideology? If they're afraid of that, why?/3

It's frustrating as hell that McCarthism is alive and well 70 fucking yrs since his investigations, and right-wingers still refuse to learn what the actual definition of "communism" is. Like fuck, dumb-asses. Pick up a copy of the Communist Manifesto just to get a basic understanding of its start./2

The box belongs to him now. I hope you wanna keep it forever.

Same to you!

I've never experienced it, so it never occurred to me that it existed. My brain struggles to understand how other people's brains work if it doesn't work like mine (gonna blame my autism for that). It's so interesting to discover.

I have no idea who this person is, and I feel I should be happy about that.

Dude let his homophobia keep him from playing my power team, and I laughed everytime the Flames wrecked him.

By the way, we ain't friends anymore for a huge list of reasons, but every once in awhile, this still gives me a giggle.
