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.
Just as with guns, swimming pools and cars. States doesn't kill people, they allow people to kill. That is why I am for regulations on cars and guns.
States shouldn't be built in a way that makes killing easy, quiet the opposite they should be built to make killing impossible.
A driver is a murder, a gunslinger is a murder. A leader shouldn't be.
Swimming pools are more complicated.

@Lyle @futurebird I have started to wonder if the imbalance between the perceived safety of car users, and the actual safety of other road users isn't the causes of more harm than the safety system prevents.
For every car user we save; how many other road/street user do we kill or maim?
American companies announce only 1,494 new jobs in August, the lowest for the month since 2009, per Bloomberg.
Layoffs surged 39% to 85,979.
And the US now has more unemployed than job openings for the first time since April 2021.
You don’t realize how weak the economy is.
Don’t quit your job. Now is not the time.
If you lose your job, it will to take a long time to find another one.
Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by just staying forever with words I crave to do non-mental, only physical hands on stuff
Don't you get tired of just processing endless streams of words, concepts, and abstract ideas.
Where your brain is essentially saying: I need to feel and move and build something real, not just manipulate symbols!

Ah, good question!
One of several short answers is that, e.g., if these funders/countries stop fduning legacy journals, these journals will eventually go bankrupt and then ORE is their replacement.
An attempt at a longer answer is in our paper:

@tinker automation bias, this is why I don't want "my" identity in a publicly accessible data base.
This helps explain why it's so hard to automate farm labor!
It's not that it's too hard to make a robot pick crops.
It's that humans are really, REALLY good at it. It's hard to make a robot that's BETTER at it than people.
Twitter's new encrypted DM system stores your private key material on Twitter-owned services, protected with nothing more than a 4-digit PIN. If hostile, or if legally compelled to, Twitter could easily decrypt all your messages. It's also MITMable and doesn't secure metadata. Use Signal.
@dlakelan I fully understand that.
The reason I gave up on arguing against the accumulation of wealth is because I came to understand that is a losing battle, and my energy is spent better elsewhere.
That's why I wrote they generally speaking have popular support. I am not going to argue against something that doesn't directly do harm.
That a person sit on meme coins that according to thin markets is worth a billion dollars, is completely worthless to argue against.
@dlakelan this video made me think of you. LegalEagle has been right on this issue for as long as I have followed them.

@dlakelan fuck ICE.
The rule of law is meant to constrain those that would do harm to others. Most importantly fascists.
Their exist plenty of reason to rebuild democratic institutions in the US to defend against fascism.
And of course, fuck ICE.
