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.


Exactly. The government cracks the whip but the rich own it.

Get rid of the rich & the govt will just transfer ownership of the whip to another entity.


The other side of this is US websites that display “not available in your region” instead of the content.



Has anyone said to use uBlock Origin instead yet?

Also, add in SponsorBlock. It’s an extension that skips embedded adverts within the content but it’s community driven so if it’s not been submitted, it won’t know about it. (Hint: get involved!)


Advertising shits in your head

Companies fill the space now with their hideous brands, waging the same frenzied battle as the jungle species in order to appropriate the public space and attention with images and words, like animals with their screams and piss’
