Better to just work out at home. Lots of options: pilates, pushups, situps, some basic weights, a bench and jump rope for cardio. Saves a lot of money and time too! If you live near a park with free outdoor exercise machines, use that!

You know, I'm not against chipping into the collective good if it helps all.
The problem is that the oligarchs and the state have fused and are just extracting more and more labor from people and the social services are getting shittier everyday.
Outright theft to support wars too
Since there are no character limits here, the first paragraph of Henry David Thoreau's civil disobedience essay is a great reminder about the goal of human sovereignty :
"I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure."

Sometimes I wonder if promoting absolute privacy in an age of AI will ultimately disconnect people from each other due to the bot pollution.
True I think this is a valid concern.
Ultimately I hope and think that the bots will show their 'bottiness' and their AI slop nature and that people will reveal who they are even in an anonymous form and even if the real identity is never disclosed (Good luck to anyone trying this!)
It may even make people express an identity in a more unaltered form and free of censorship.
Question to all: How do you work on strategies to spot bots, stay anonymous and accept anonymity as the grounds for identity as well?

The goal of life is to liberate freedom from all oppressive forces.
Freedom will mature itself in the confrontation against oppression.
Oppressive forces doubling down and incressing its scope of control simultaneously creates its own equally powerful negative other, that is the struggle for freedom.
In other words, oppression will inevitably face demise through a liberatory struggle for freedom.
You know, just basic dialectics.

Shower thought time (no, I'm not actually showering right now 😅)
I love the anonymity behind a cryptographically verifiable identity.
The identity is formed through history of use of that identity and no one can impersonate as I have my own key and no one can take it, unless I'm a noob and let someone take it.
I love this anonymity because at the end of it, who the fuck am I? Who knows? Let the identity speak for itself.
There is something so liberating of having this anonymity.
Obvious drawback: the more shared, the more I reveal bits and pixels of some real entity.

2026-01-10 20:06:57 UTC

Communism, communist, anarchists, etc. have a lot of variety and internal difference. It's hard to generalize them all. For example, on state power, Marx was early on a journalist and had seen first hand how the violence of the state can impede speech when it raided their presses. He was well aware of the inherent violence of the state. Communist activists have also historically also been victimized by the state.
Also Communism is generally seen as a stateless society once class antagonisms have been withered away. I'm pretty sure you have Engels saying the state should 'wither away'
I don't find it surprising that there'd be some overlap and agreement on some issues with libertarians for instance, a group also containing differences.
Obviously all this doesn't negate there are different viewpoints how to get to a stateless society.
