  • The idea of a government or at least a democratic consensus and few people spearheading certain efforts does make sense in my mind.

    Most people cannot imagine a world without a state. It’s absolutely ingrained from an early age that we cannot survive without one so people do not even consider alternatives.

    People with power/money are actively coopting every entity that can limit their power. You cant change that.

    Because those with power will always try to assert it over those with none. There is an inane belief that being endowed with wealth and/or power somehow makes them morally superior.

    Guillotines quickly dispel that myth! ;)

    if the government goes, another form of government comes and it will not be great because people arent educated and self thinking enough for that.

    As soon as people invest in their community and begin putting into place structures of support, the time will come when the state is removed, becomes impossible to reinstate unless those community structures are destroyed, because why would you need the state if people are doing things for themselves better, more efficiently and with less corruption?

    Our dependency on the state is nurtured because it exists only to maintain the status quo of the wealth & power of the elite class.

    It is impossible to reform such a corrupt institution.




  • The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg.

    Well, it has already. The only reason it hasn’t fully imploded & all the users deserted for another site, is because there wasn’t an equivalent place to go to.

    They were sort of parallel in development but digg blew up and Reddit didn’t then Digg took a quick hard turn towards enshitification.

    Reddit has done the enshitification but like a parasitic infected spider, it’s wandering about and most of the users haven’t realised yet that it’s an empty shell.

    It’s slow demise would be better in the long run than a quick collapse like Diggs so it’s now putrid culture is not transmitted with an enmass exodus.
