In failing to look past Joe Biden, Democrats have shown cowardice and complacency
You're viewing part of a thread.
why do they need more than 150 people? but if you insist, you can look into northern madagascar or exarcheia
Greece and Madagascar are both places with actual governments...
That doesn't help your brain-dead arguments at all. And again, the 150 people mark is due to the very structure of your brain. It cannot handle anything more than 150 relationships.
That's you, me, and every living human on the planet. 150 is the mean maximum number of social relationships that anyone can have.
To get around this maximum number of relationships and still get things done, we as a species invented organization and governance.
If you try to run a community without taking this physiological limitation into account, your community will fail. Sometimes to bears.
ignoring evidence against your position indicates a lack of intellectual honesty. are you moving the goalposts toward your very own no-true-scotsman?
I've been very upfront about the 150 number. You've just been too caught up in your make believe world of nonsense to notice.
i cited two societies that passed it, but you found some other reason to dismiss them. if that's not moving the goal posts or setting up a no-true-scotsman then i guess i should get a refund for my degree.
Two that you claim rule by consensus, but two places that, in fact, do not.
Both places have actual national governments and hold actual elections.
those societies don't recognize the rule of the people you claim rule them.
House cats don't recognize their owners ruling over them, but they're 100% dependent regardless.
And that's what you remind me of the most, a house cat who has never eaten anything except the food put into your bowl, but completely convinced that you're the best hunter in the world, not understanding anything about where the food comes from or how any of it actually works.
calling the freedom fighters of exarcheia or the sheep farmers of madagascar "house cats" who depend on others to feed them is dehumanizing and inaccurate. they fought for every inch of land and every scrap of food.
Squatters and farmers, both are dependent on the larger societies around them, even if they outwardly claim otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, squatting is cool as fuck, but even when sticking it to the man, you're still dependent on his world.
Hell, Exarcheia even goes against your own picture of a perfect society, they used a form of direct democracy with actual voting on policy.
Policy that was enforced throughout the camps.
Circling back to farmers, again, you hit that 150-person limit on community size without some form of policy abstraction. i.e. some form, any form, of governance and policy.
>And that's what you remind me of the most, a house cat
dehumanizing me indicates that this has gone beyond mere insults, and undercut any claims you might have to intellectual honesty or moral highground.
the bar for your apology has risen significantly, and you've already indicated you wouldn't meet a much lower standard.
You are obsessed with an apology that you will never get.
I've not directly insulted you, but have repeatedly insulted your narrow ideas of governance, but if that's all you are, then you might need hobbies.
i'll accept your apologies for insulting me.
And I'll not do that.
Although I do sort of feel like I'm arguing with a child obsessed with Santa Claus while I'm pointing out that the North Pole is fucking melting.
more insults
You have fairly thin skin. Although the second was closer to an actual insult than the first. The first was calling your argument stupid. As in, it is, me telling you to do better.
The second was saying that I feel like I'm arguing with someone whose arguments so far are akin to believing in Santa Claus. Closer to an actual insult, but still not making it personal or actually attacking you.
i'll accept your apologies
And you'll not get them, because your arguments so far have been stupid. Do better.
