I DON’T LIKE POSTING MUCH BECAUSE I AM TRASH

The Cure remains an absolute diamond of a band, and Robert Smith’s voice is so good. I’ve only seen them play live once but it was incredible. Musically almost nobody else from the 80s touches them for me. Tears for fears had some pretty great numbers though

I upvoted one and downvoted the other four balance

Been saying that for years. Same for Muse, although they took after different parts of Radiohead’s ouvre. Never really felt anyone huge corresponded to the Kid A/Amnesiac stuff though. Nobody jumps out there.

This is fine if everyone is decent and righteous, but sadly many people aren’t. There are lots of people who will happily steal, commit arson, kill etc etc. You need some system in place to handle this. You may think some laws bad or absurd, and indeed there have always been some terrible laws, but a system without any laws at all is totally dependent on the benevolence of individual agents. Once a society reaches a certain size, this tends to go a bit awry.

It’s a bit more nuanced than that irl. You may think rule of law is important and appreciate the authority of the courts, for example. Or you may think that someone had to pass the laws and appreciate the authority of the legislature in that regard. Institutions without authority are pointless, but they’re not all inherently authoritarian unless you stretch that adjective to breaking point

Lol, most of the axis didn’t even have labels. The reductionism is obviously silly, but presenting the classic 2D model as if that was actually how words are used is genuinely hilarious

Or you appreciate authority in some matters, but reject it in others. That’s the point in the spectrum that rejects the simple binary.

Edit: just realised both my last posts were responding to you. I’m not stalking or weird shit I swear! It just happened I woke up with more opinions!

No, what I’m experiencing is the conventional meaning of the term as used by people in normal language not matching up with a technical definition that you favour. It’s fine that you prefer to use the word that way, you just can’t expect everyone else to

Any assertion in chart form must be true!

Edit: ok now that I’m getting downvotes I feel I need to explain: the conventional usage of the word libertarian is not commensurate with it covering such a wide range of the political spectrum. Usually we mean people who favour mildly anarchistic views (minimal governmental institutions, low taxation, low intervention). Representing that niche as half of the political spectrum is highly disingenuous

When traveling with a massive hiking rucksack then I confess it has gone on the seat next to me. Only because it won’t fit anywhere else I swear.

who precisely is snowing in self pity

I dunno, you’re the one who talked about it. Don’t ask me what you mean, lol, not my fault if you don’t understand yourself

I don’t see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it’s a matter of ‘violence costs lives’ and you don’t change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don’t without organised and persistent violence

I appreciate your service

Masturbating to the point of exhaustion

Your definition of practical and mine differ. For me, a path that makes my life considerably worse is not a practical path. I would assume the same is true for you, you’re just unable to admit it.

I think they meant, like, practical actionable paths, not like ‘I’m playing a Sim and everyone does what I say’. Perhaps they were trying to think about what people could do in the real world that we actually live in

Look, you can have nuance or you can have performative outrage, you don’t get to have both. Lemmy has made its bed
