I'm going to become an anarchist

Also, an interesting footnote perhaps -> anarchist terrorism is generally considered the first wave of terrorism, and they contributed the creation of a organized doctrine of terrorism and protest to the terrorist theory.

Just thought that might be interesting to some. This took place in Russia IIRC in response to the tsarist regime.

@Vilageidiotx Absolutely agreed.

@Vilageidiotx then that definition of anarchy is, per definition of the word, not correct and they should change it. Anarchy =/= super democracy. Though I do think you are right. But again, there are many anarchists that do believe governments should fall and we should return to city-state esque governments.

Furthermore I'd like to highlight that this kind of naive thinking will follow the same chronological order of events as communism. Communism is great and all, but when you give power to the people, people that are good at tyranny and mobilizing people will end up taking power, greed takes over, and you end up with shitty shit.

We're just replacing one set of shitty people (modern politicians) with other shitty people (I mean, lets face it, do we really want an anarchist running the country?) The context for shittiness changes (so instead of shitty economical progress, we'd have shitty cultural progress, FOR EXAMPLE, I'm not sure what the anarchists would suck at but it'd probably be something).

When I was at the 1% protest shits here in The Hague, I ran into some anarchists and they said we should get rid of governments, and every local community should govern themselves. These are the people I understood are the hardcore 'real' anarchism anarchists, where as every other stream of anarchy is more for a removal of governance in a certain area, i.e. economics or private capital and shit.

I don't think most anarchists are just for total random chaos, I've been told that's a fundamental misunderstanding of the anarchy movement.

@Doivid

Correct and incorrect.

Anarchists are for total random chaos.
But there are many many different sub-groups like anarcho-capitalists (ANCAP's) and such that are for anarchism in other ways. So you are right. It just depends on what stream you look at.

There are total anarchist people that believe total random chaos is best. Those people are fools.

@Clirkus One way to quickly die is to advocate for an absolute lack of government, reducing your defenses and opening your population to the whims and mercy of whichever one country decides that, now that your country is without a defense, they kind of like your land and want it.

I like the ideals though. Utter anarchy seems fun and effective at reducing world population. Would support a mass convert to anarchism world wide.

Added a small note at the top. I will get back to those I have waiting in my PM's shortly as I have to play some small catch up with other RP's.

2016 US Election: Day Zero

@Vilageidiotx Very interesting but I don't think that changes anything about his plans.

Now obviously I am not going to pretend that he wrote his own policies because he didn't, and they don't correspond with what he has said but the policies are decent with some minor things in them that you pointed out (for instance the vacuum created in government work if he does that plan thing.)

Now, I don't think he'll be a good president. Not for USA anyway. But I firmly believe that even a moron can sometimes say sensible things. So perhaps some good will come out of this (I doubt it but for me it's already a win because I won't have to sit in a trench around winter to fight Russians).

I like how he came to where he is. It shows that he isn't stupid and knows what he is doing. Regardless of how you look at it you have to agree that he is very good at playing the game and very good at seeing the buttons in front of them, and seeing when he should hit what button, and I can sorta admire that, even if it makes him just as bad as any other random candidate. I said it when he first ran for president and I looked into his books a bit - he's very smart, and I'm pretty sure he realizes he's not very talented in any other area other than 'how to make myself look important and earn money while doing it'.

2016 US Election: Day Zero

@Halo I think we both have better things to do. I did not read the initial exchange that related to someone feeling sick and being told to calm down. Your answer explained some things and I reacted too quickly, but I still disagree on some things.

I think that, even if your response is not that of hystericality, some of the responses I have seen (online primarily) are rather hysterical. I don't know if they are exaggerating their feelings due to being online, or if they are just jesting, or if they genuinely think Trump is going to line up Mexicans and execute them, but I feel like a lot of people are overestimating just what Trump can and can't do in 1 term. Which is next to nothing meaningful.

Another thing I have problems with is that you think that a representative represents people in their entirety rather than politically. I'm quite sure that the average Trump supporter does not feel represented if it were, say, in terms of sexual abuse (whether this happened or not doesn't really matter. I don't find this audio clip of him saying stuff about grabbing women to be too vulgar, and definitely not as bad as some other candidates have had flying around, but that doesn't matter) because they are not sexual abusers. Most likely.

They are merely political representatives. Him being chosen representative does not make every supporter a sexual abuser, racist or misogynist. And I am pretty sure that he does not proclaim to be a misogynist either, because being a woman-hater is a quick way to lose an election. So, in that regard, I do not find that to be the representative part. I find the representative part to be, say, his desire to tighten border control. And I can understand that sentiment among the Americans even if I find it to be a strange solution.

I find democracy a questionable concept on it's own to be honest so you are probably right in saying that my idea is not how most people want it to be. But, sadly, the concept of being angry/sad/upset after the fact does not appeal to me (which is the whole reason we're having this discussion) because it changes nothing for the next four year - which is why I said people should treat this as a lesson and vote more carefully.

And no, I don't think I'd feel too disgusted by Hitler meeting other people in my name. If he was a democratically elected official (in a country that has such a system) that'd just be the way it is. Maybe that's just me, being Dutch, but we are represented by some guy going to the most important meeting in the world hosted in the Hague, on his bloody bicycle. My perception of representation is probably very different from other people. It's just politics to me, he doesn't represent me personally, he represents my countries majority and even then, only their political wishes, not their personal thoughts. If I vote for Trump, I could still disagree with him on the basis that I don't think a wall should be built (for example) and for that reason I find the notion that, again, I see commonly on the internet, that his supporters are racist .. rather unfounded. Some have been racist but the same could be said about any other candidate.

Representation is nothing more than a political tool to ensure we don't have a full population in 1 room trying to get a word in. Nothing more, nothing less. Not to me anyway.

Hitler was voted in democratically before he democratically abolished the democratic system, by the way. Democracy is very funny like that. Of course, before he did any of the vile things he had done, he was a very charismatic and generally pretty popular dude. Some jews liked him too despite being used as a scapegoat. Most people only tend to get to the point where they deserve to be feared once they have received absolute confirmation that they will not and can not be replaced. Just some background to that particular point that I found interesting.

Either way, I thought you meant sick as in a much more exaggerated manner than you actually did. My bad. Thank you for discussing with me regardless. Seeing the other side is good, sometimes, even if I don't agree 100%.
