Rome wasn’t defeated by “other standing armies”. So no, that’s nothing to do with anything…

Also who the fuck cares about recent US history and the wild west. You sound like a dumb ass who knows very little about the scope of politics, history, and the topics being discussed.

Don’t rant as cover when you could entertain the possible truths others are telling you: Community policing was the longest form of stable communities.

Not enforced centralized or uniformed violence.

You should really look into the Zapatistas. They used civil justice, and were relatively stateless. Also, just because someone talks about anarchism doesn’t mean they’re talking about being without a process of community involved problem solving/justice. You just need to know what anarchosyndicalism is, or communitarianism, or maoism. The previous user did say “anarchism and communism” after all.

Throughout most of human history “standing armies” and “permanent police forces” didn’t exist, they were formed from the community when necessary (and often merely to beat up bad bosses or known criminals).

So the whole idea that society pops out of existence without central command over violent forces - doesn’t match up against most of human history.

Anything from the Spanish Civil War, Thomas Sankara, The Black Panthers, or the Zapatistas is real.

As is anything from the Tupamaro guerrillas, lots of stuff from Lennin, and Mao was tried and tested, but may need verification. Stuff from Ho Chi Minh is thoroughly tested, as is stuff from the Kurdish YPG.

Lawrence of Arabia’s book Seven Pillars of Wisdom was thoroughly tested, as was anything involving Nestor Makhno.

Actually come to think of it, lots of this stuff has been tried and tested.

Wait, but if you’re quoting them acknowledging it…

…then you claim they were saying “there weren’t horrors”… isn’t that a bit like trying to have your cake and eat it too? They were either denying it, or actively discussing it - and it doesn’t look like they were denying it (just discussing the causes in a way you don’t like).

Are you a Tankie?

Every accusations is admission when it comes to pro-fascist conservatives.

An indication that Taiwan would probably also be put through this sinicisation process Islamic Chinese cultures on the mainland are.

Sounds like if would be a good indie film if the right tensions were played right.

Rishi Sunak is the name of a skunk in a Disney movie… And if it’s not, it should be.

We need another FDR.

I just assumed that train on an answer sheet could probably get you past most tests.

Why not buy some under water drills and an underwater propulsion device then go down to the marina and sink some expensive yatchs? How about slashing some police tires?

Why not study an industry you wanna take down and figure out how? Or gather an online flash mob and invade a conservative website or institution. How about running for office at your local council? Or sending letters to good and bad politicians saying what you think. Contact the media about something you believe but make sure it’s the right level for what you’re saying.

Or go read some leftwing theory.

As a rule, files never get deleted… They get over written. So it depends on whether that process has happened to any loose images.

Going after that big dinosaur cash $$$

In a lost in the wilderness survival situation you probably want to scout the lay of the land from where you are, then follow the valleys to the nearest water source, or coast, as settlements are usually by the water.

It’s great that the two characters discuss this topic, I think it’s in the multi-part TNG episode where Ambassador Spock is creating a dissident movement on Romulus.

I say yes, she can be black. It doesn’t really matter as long as we’re all human.

The Official title of Taiwan is The Republic of China.

They still allowed the KMT (aka The Chinese Nationalist Party), to participate in their Democracy even though it ran the country as an anti-democracy Authoritarian state for 40 years.

Taiwan and China do a lot of trade together, a war would be difficult for both of them.

Yeah, but Data is actually intelligent and brilliant. ChatGPT is often just giving best averaged answers based on what’s most likely - and still hallucinates even in the latest version.

I haven’t used it, but it happens even in the demo they showed.
