Nah communism is that your private property is the community's property, which would be great if you're a single mother until someone finds your baby locked in the car by accident but it's not your car.

Let's put the western dogma aside here for just a moment.

The other thing you have to consider is that all governments, authoritarian or democratic are just another institute or system inside of a society.

Due to the human tendency for entropy, everyone has a different idea of what works and what is fair, and in a growing, and increasingly complex world, democratic and authoritarian regimes still somewhat coexist but may attack each other's systems by disinformation and propaganda campaigns, but 9/10 rationality and conscience will support systems that provide utility and potential for innovation first, second to the next system that simply contains or prevents the worst of human tendencies - the reason is very simple. If you imagine you were born without a conscience or worse, simply to commit familicide, but the only thing holding you back was being busy with a job or doing something more meaningful that made you feel good, you would probably prefer to pick both, but still favour the one that keeps you busy so that you can think of better things to do while your planning something evil so that you can give yourself time to change your mind before you make a decision.

Communism more often than not gives people the short term illusion that they're doing something useful, like for Che, until they realise they'd arguably still be able to apply the same function within a capitalist or anarcho-communalistic setting, it's just a question of how useful and how much good do you think you can do before you feel competitive ๐Ÿ˜‰

Nah, people got too much dogma up their arse these days anyways

I prefer to add a dose of spicey humour or sweet idiocy to my conspiracies to keep the real spies off my tail

Agreed. Assuming bad things is a great slope into playing devil's advocate

Imagine that, getting paid to cast hexes

The tall end of this entire article is the obtuse question of how much money is really in the game and how much is the service really worth in terms of providing real value?

How much do these disinformation campaign people get, who are they and how do they operate their systems? Let's imagine that they're paying small groups of guys to carry four phones and to search for a topic online on Reddit or Facebook and post n number of comments on the thread every time they get the opportunity to from each of the four phones, with another four accounts per phone, then using a script to monitor every account.

All that an adversary hacker would need is a hunter bot to detect the phones all by geolocation, microphone to see how many people are there, then block the phones. The reality is that even if you had multiple bots hacking someone's phones to do the job, the real value provided simply cannot outweigh the investment costs in the long run. Disinformation and propaganda as a weapon is more blurry in outcomes than simply building a bridge. Hell even sex work arguably works better for most than to spam their newsfeed

And that's why we all pirate stuff every once in a while

Yeah I was gonna say, that was oddly specific

Nah, sometimes an MP3 player is important for when the phone goes flat or when you need to conserve your phone battery over the long run

I pirate a lot of stuff too but I prefer to buy stuff too sometimes just to provide support

Although I agree that bit torrent is a good protocol, DDL is still a valuable method of maintaining mass accessibility, and an important aspect of transport as it requires next to no background skills or knowledge, it's also symbolic to the concept that many people simply do not believe piracy is necessarily a crime unless it turns a profit, or prevents or reduces a sale from occurring.

Why are libraries still existing despite all the wild cunt kings high on their own megalomania who've gone and burned libraries and attempted to destroy civilization?
