    I was working and Prince Harry texted me saying he was in town and we should go out but I was on a diet but he talked me into it and we had a cheeky Nandos.

    What if every time you pressed the button a random chatter either gained or lost 100 lbs, and you get before and after pictures?

    The big secret to anarchist is they are all optimist.

    One cannot believe in that system unless you believe people can better than they are.

    The underlying reality in their mind is people are innately caring about others.

    It is kind of cute.

    I daresay that strains of post-anarchism have more complex views of the human condition

    I would say theoretical and academic anarchism and post-anarchism probably do.

    I would not say popular anarchism, especially of the sort that paints anarchy symbols on vote Tory graffiti, do.

    I dunno

    there's certainly a british lay variety that holds that the communist stateless society advocates a more optimistic reformed individual than the selfish capitalist view of humanity and whatnot, but there's also green zero-growth "we'd be morally better off if industrial society collapsed so that most of us were dead or starving, I'd free the kid in Omelas" types floating about

    Advocacy of anarchy is usually predicated on the assumption that the advocate is going to be in the group that doesn't get butchered.

    there's worse these days with the PUAs running around

    I once lurked in a blog where a serial commenter (apparently seriously) advocated that The Good Life entailed a stateless society where men could challenge other men to single combat for possession of their women, as some kind of savannahesque genetic apotheosis

    I imagine the Gor books have picked up a whole new fanbase.

    Well, that is a thing alright.

    Right?

    I mean, I suspect proponents of anarchy nowadays are suggesting something like an "enlightened anarchy" or "intentional" anarchy or something of the sort.

    But I have a hard time imagining an anarchist society that doesn't pretty quickly devolve to despotism or plutocracy

    And I still prefer trying to reform our current plutocracy rather than endeavoring to establish a new one

    How did Napoleon get the support of the French people and become emperor after the French mobs did the whole 'kill all emperors' thing less than a decade prior?

    Napoleon did a lot for France. He was a staunch supporter of education and either reformed/opened a bunch of new schools while we was in power.

    An "enlightened" anarchy is just one that uses explosives, poison, and bio-weapons instead of rocks and sticks.

    What if there was a magic button that would give you a million dollars every time you pressed it, but somebody died, and scientists took the button and studied it and proved that magic existed but no one got to press it because they broke it while doing experiments

    the better question would be are his face and his but the same size or will the excess butt to face surface area ratio cause massive bleeding when the switch occurs culminating in a gruesome death?

    All these magic button questions just make me wonder:

    Is there a second magic button to launder the money for you? Or are you just hoping no one comes to find out where you just got $100 million from?
