If the women didn't fight "enough" the courts in Sweden would determine it wasn't rape. Doomed if you do doomed if you don't.

@bri_seven mine is how fast "it is fixed in the latest release" switches to "I won't help you when you run an unstable release".

@impactology it's the state, a well functioning state prevent harm.

@turtlewrites I don't understand what you mean with "dichotomies".

I am describing my lived experience that have lead me to the conclusion that some that call them self anarchist; fails to understand that people like me are dependent on the state.

I am not saying that is right, or that is how it should be.

@turtlewrites there exists nothing to "unpack". It's my lived experience.

I wouldn't be allowed to live in the home I am currently living if it wasn't for state support. That might no longer be true, but my relationship with capital is complicated.

My life is currently financed by roughly equal part capital and state support.

@turtlewrites

I know it's hard to understand, but if the state need to motivate people to give a shit about me. I am glad the state exist. No force ia perfect, but a well organised police force is preferable to the alternatives that we know.

@turtlewrites

The state built the house I grew up in. "the state pay my rent" is an obvious gross over simplification, but I do like it when I get the chance to write obvious contradictions with deeper meaning.

@turtlewrites even then, my parents financial support has been only part of the total needed, and would also disregard my need for dignity.

State employees support has never been financial. They have made sure I have clean clothes, and edible food. They where of course paid as state employees when they helped me.

The state is why my rent has been paid on time.

@turtlewrites

I also recognise the enormous privilege of having parents that could support me.

I link an clip to the incredible financial diet for more information about growing up without that support, the clip describes kids in general without my disability.

@turtlewrites no, I am describing my lived experience.

Mutual aid has never factored into my life, unless you count my parents or state employees.

I used to consider my self an anarchist. Because if the choice was between dignity, welfare and on the other hand society, I would always chose the former. As I saw it I recognised pascal's mugging.

Increasingly it seems obvious to me that those that call them self anarchist, imagine a society where those that are dependent on the state simply does not exist.

As someone that lives with a debilitating disability that means I am unable to provide for myself, I can now see they are the leopards.

@rubenbolling as a non-American, this is the best education I have gotten about the use of that word. And it still shocks me how casually racist a society can be.
