Sure all states that have ever existed have been institutions of violent control and exploitation by elites but have you ever tried imagining that wasn’t true? That is why we must offer uncritical support to the state. In this essay I will
@HeavenlyPossum if states are violent people aren't responsible for their actions.
I know a group chat of people that should* serve the rest of their life in prison for their actions, but according to you it was the state that did it.
States are social constructs that exist in part to abolish responsibility for peoples actions, this only work if the state is violent rather than permits violence.
*obviously no one should be in prison, but for the sake of the argument.
@PandaCab no, I don't. If that is the case I apologies. It just that it seemed directed towards me. And I thought this was an appropriate time to summarise my thoughts on our previous conversation. which might also have been rude, I am bad at judging when it is appropriate to speak out. But it's hard to stay quiet when someone literally call the reason I am alive and well for violent.
1. Even if it was indeed about you, it wasn't directed at you. Possum clearly stated that they were through talking to you.
2. It was not an appropriate time, because there are no more appropriate times. They told you to leave them alone.
3. It's hard to stay quiet, but you will have to accept that it is entirely a "you" problem here and now.
So just so you can understand and realise: you're currently harassing someone on the internet for no other reason than to satisfy your ego. Reflect on your actions and go away...
@PandaCab this is a public forum. Sometimes the at sign is about who I talk about not who I am talking to.
I am clearly stating my view of the conversation as an answer to what I belive was a partisan summary.
If that is harassment I would struggle to function on this forum. Luckily the subject has muted me will not have to deal with my perspective.
And if it is harassment how is what you are doing any different?
Your time is up, unrepentant pest. Rethink your life choices...
I said “leave me alone.” Muted.
@HeavenlyPossum that was always an option. Honestly it's a bit weird you feel the need to tell me/or anyone else, ignoring messages you don't want to deal with is fine.
What's that joke?, "this is not an airport you don't need to announce your departure"
Sure. But you were asked politely to leave, and you didn't. So now I, too, am going to tell you that I've blocked you, in the likely vain hope that you will engage in some self-reflection.
@ekg @HeavenlyPossum
Do you realise/understand that what you're doing right now is rude and invasive?
