More like “I hate my job, but social safety nets are nonexistent and I need to eat food. On top of that I’m forced to spend my precious income on a machine that requires fossil fuels which are destroying the environment” but yes

They all look quite dapper.

We probably have different understandings of the word “libertarian,” from what I’m reading.

I’m referring to the people who would also label themselves “anarcho-capitalists,” as the literal definition of libertarianism isn’t typically associated with the term. I put it in quotes since capitalism by design leads to and encourages hierarchy (private ownership etc etc). No, commerce/trade is not the same and is as about as old as written history itself.

I’m also autistic and have been ostracized for “wrong” behavior. When I say “pro social” I mean mutual aid, genuine compassion and actually treating other humans with respect for their immutable traits (beliefs like bigotry don’t count). I do not mean masking or “fitting in.” Unfortunately we do get unfairly judged and that’s bad. But - we also are generally capable of finding and forming our own groups.

Sovereign utopia building as a whole has its own set of issues, but that’s not what was specifically being addressed. Socialist policies in general improve the wellbeing of the respective societies they’re applied to, though.

When everyone is out for themselves, the very basics of civilization collapse.

Empathy and pro social behavior are key to our survival and evolution as a species. Oligarchs and unbridled greed are a violation and exploitation of the social contract and bottleneck progress and healthy societal functioning.

Windows as a usable OS.

Once again, the point is to harass trans people out of public life altogether.

This isn’t about logic or fear, it’s hate and domineering. They’re nazis. No excuses.

There’s a special place in hell for CSS flexboxes

The only constants in this world are death, taxes, and leftist theory being incredibly verbose (said with love).

Solid summary though, thank you for sharing. It reads fairly accessibly not unlike Graeber and Wengrow’s Dawn of Everything.
