  • Well you see, half the voters decided it would be a good idea to elect total outsiders with no relevant education or experience, whose only qualification was a willingness to say crazy shit out loud. The unqualified outsider-in-chief has now packed high-level offices with his favorite TV and podcast personalities, who also have no relevant education or experience but have made a living saying crazy shit out loud.

  • Bot swarms celebrate as South Australia confirms it's 20% racist

    Jump

  • Given how shitty humanity has historically been, I would be happily surprised if any large population isn't at least 20% racist. It's more a matter of how loud the racists think they can be without getting in trouble.

    What is the end game for all the incarcerated immigrants?

  • Presumably an outsourced version of Guantanamo Bay: pay foreign countries to hold them indefinitely. Eventually the media cycle moves on and everyone forgets about them.

  • Have you ever hitchhiked before?

    Jump

  • Have not hitchhiked, but have picked up a few hitchhikers. If you spend enough time in the mountains you'll eventually bump into people who need a lift to a trailhead or back to town. One young guy was juggling part-time gigs at multiple lodges and guide services, and hadn't saved enough for a car yet. Another couple was touring from eastern Europe and decided to try traveling around the US without a car. They were all nice people.

  • If we learned anything from 2025 it's that checks and balances only work when a critical mass of people agree to them. One of the US's major political parties has abandoned rule of law and sent ICE on a modern day witch hunt against immigrants and perceived enemies. If you don't like it, time to move. An anarchist would say this situation is a great example of why we shouldn't outsource governance to entities that have power over us.

  • As I understand it, anarchism is less about eliminating laws and more about eliminating hierarchy. It's bottom-up governance that requires lots of participation from everyone involved. You and your peers can establish laws for your neighborhood/town/etc., but everyone affected by that law needs to directly participate in its writing and there must be broad consensus before it is enacted. Law enforcement must be communal; you cannot outsource it to a police force, lest the police become oppressive.

    When I think of anarchism I sometimes think of colonial New England: small towns that are largely autonomous, where communal decisions are made at town hall meetings and the locals manage themselves. It's not a perfect analogy since there were higher levels of government, but day-to-day governance was very grass-roots.

  • Can someone tell me about DemiGod Rick?

  • I was referring to the fact that hypothetically one lemmy.world admin could essentially make people disappear.

    Which is what ICE is for.

    Are you seriously comparing being banned from a small social media site, where you could simply create another account in 5 minutes, to being arrested and imprisoned by a government agency?

  • I grew up in a family of overly-armed suburban conservatives, so inheriting a significant number of guns was always a given. A few pieces have sentimental value tied to the relatives who originally owned them. I don't use any of them, though. Hunting never interested me. Target shooting is fun once in a while, particularly trap and skeet, but I have too many other priorities vying for my time and money. If I were to get back into target shooting I would switch to archery.

  • There is a difference between choosing minimalism and being forced into it by lack of options. If these two characters had steady income or a safety net, and chose to live like this, then good for them. But they don't; they are unemployed with a leaky roof and inadequate heat and presumably do not have the means to address those issues. This is an unstable situation to which nobody should aspire.

  • Statistics are just numbers. What matters is how they are used. Anyone who has studied stats knows that it's common to craft misleading conclusions from real data.
