@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.

@youranoncentral.bsky.social this whole affair has been an extended fuck around... We will see when the find out begin.

@jalager det finns hotel. Och ambulans helikopter. Vi kan inte leverera morden vård mitt åte i ingenstans.

Antagligen får folk acceptera en lägre standard av vård, tillexmple tillåta förlossning på vårdcentralen. Alternativt får folk resa till vården.

@jalager @polarull.bsky.social det är en volym fråga också. Det är omöjligt att upprätthålla kompetensen om man bara ser enstaka komplikationer per termin.

Det låga födande är ett problem även för kompetensutveckling hos mödravården/barnvården.

@ruakueqche @31113 I never argued against support, I referred to support that already exist.

I support UBI but their exist no such thing I can refer to as most support programs are conditional. The world food program is probably the closet, but it's under funded.

@ruakueqche I am well awere, I was just referring to what the term brings to mind. I should probably have used term "think" as in when I say state I think... But esl is a thing and mistakes happens.

Play states like the local school board or the hoa are not good representation of a state. They are allowed to exist in part because people don't really care about home owners or children.
