This is just my suspicion, though, without a lot of evidence to back it up.<br/><br/>Police are not going to stop people from beating you up, because they don&#39;t care and they&#39;re not there in the first place. Bystanders might be deterred from helping, if they think they&#39;ll go to jail for neutralizing your attacker.<br/><br/>Anarchists have a saying: Who helps us? We help us. 2025-10-08T18:48:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf6lsz703zv4w7hyp3z2q6e7dusmgwftmrytlj3w35zq9ut8f7csgzypy7keek32lh6hv4teld2phmgysu3fg62x5ujkhgacemzlgr4r0mss95myf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq4h3kstqvhch7tm2jwxeawksvnzvj3tpufcyjuz2ty0avegtpxhclsculm'>nevent1q…culm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What finally pushed me over the cliff to calling myself an anarchist was the realization that what the government does or doesn&#39;t do has very very little to do with what the polity wants. We&#39;re getting stuff shoved down our throats that the vast majority of the public doesn&#39;t want. We&#39;ve been trying to reform healthcare for decades; nothing happens.<br/><br/>And the realization that all government will trend in this direction, because _that&#39;s what they&#39;re for_. 2025-10-08T14:23:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr4djku7lvh428w9fpzsz70aazrffge2xznlksy3qmg9xnp4t7qzszypy7keek32lh6hv4teld2phmgysu3fg62x5ujkhgacemzlgr4r0ms7qyult This Ukraine shit is just too fucking much.<br/><br/>Nobody should honor the lie that there are &#34;peace talks&#34; going on. These are &#34;divide the spoils&#34; talks. Peace talks necessarily include the combatants, or they&#39;re just shitheads joking around in a room. The US has no authority to make any deal regarding Ukraine with anyone.<br/><br/>Trump says he could have made a deal with Ukraine getting &#34;almost all of the land&#34;.<br/><br/>Well, how about keeping all of their sovereign soil, you fucking ghoul? How about they cede NO land to foreign invaders? Start with that deal, and work from there. 2025-02-19T14:05:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqvzc527xtx8kdmlv8ls23srznm9kd8wan38j6886ev337pt35nggzypy7keek32lh6hv4teld2phmgysu3fg62x5ujkhgacemzlgr4r0ms3cy8te The notion that the Christian Right is a &#34;Silent Majority&#34; in the US is a lie concocted by (checks notes) the Christian Right. 2024-11-22T18:12:52Z
