I feel they are fine with the drafting table to combine them.

I literally never unlocked a weapon tech because all of the schematics you get will quickly outclass any default weapon. The tech tree does seem paced incredibly weird.

Oh, this one hits good.

This is absolutely praxis. This is directly denying the owning class from profiting off of the people and getting resources directly into their hands.

The only thing that could be better is raiding the stores and giving the food away for free.

Semantics, but they have always had power in our government. They built and designed it to serve their interests. The state fundamentally exists to maintain ruling class hierarchy and enforce laws which govern our systems of ownership. The ruling class uses the media to keep the people brainwashed into thinking the system exists to “protect them” and “maintain order”. The problem is intersectional.

But you are right, participation is a choice. We can stop and organize among ourselves to create a new society out from under the boot of authoritarian oppression. So, for people to not participate, we must create alternatives for them to choose from to meet the need they are trying to fill and make it as convenient and available for people as possible to encourage them to make the jump.

And the owners of private media are also the owners of our government. That’s kinda the big problem at hand. The state exists to reinforce ruling class interests.

As a leftie who has been forced to use right handed scissors, this is how I’ve done it since I figured it out as a kid.

No, what means the person has anxiety is the overthinking of a mundane social situation to the point it tires the person out from doing so.

You need to read more about the anarchist aspects that Graeber and LeGuin advocate. Conflict in inevitable with the ruling powers that create these circumstances which dictate how society at large behaves but conflict doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

What you’re talking about is in fact created by humans. We create the conditions that incentivizes that behavior. He goes over the mechanisms behind it in his books “Debt” and “Dawn of Everything”. Humanity doesn’t just default to hierarchy.

It is entirely possible to build new and then enforce our autonomy from the current ruling class. We know it is possible. We have done it before and we can do it again.

Layoffs are hitting the developers of hit titles such as the Dark Pictures Anthology and Until Dawn.

Effort and stress are intrinsically linked. High effort activity naturally activate energy consuming processes and negative emotional states like frustration and fatigue.

Effort isn’t stress but effort inherently causes stress on the body.

A long walk or bike ride is stressful on the body. The stress created by physical exertion is what makes you tired.

As Ursula K LeGuin put it

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”

There is no such thing as “breaking points”. Revolutions aren’t this spontaneous thing that just happens all of a sudden. It is the result of years of deliberate and concerted effort by communities to change their way of life.

Going to a large party where I don’t know anyone is exhausting because I am actively processing my interactions with everyone, thinking through whether certain things are appropriate for this situation before I say them.

This is literally stress inducing. You say it isn’t stressful and then describe being in a stressful situation. It’s literally anxiety that is causing us to overthink these situations, and that is causing stress, which is exhausting.

They are exhausting because they are stressful. As well, most introverts would be assumed to suffer from some sort of social malady such as socially-induced anxiety, which is why they would be introverts in the first place instead of extroverts.

It’s almost like these things are linked and that’s the situation this comic is trying to portray.

Highly recommend reading David Graeber’s “Dawn of Everything”, “Debt: the First 5000 Years”, and “Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology”. It explains a lot about how humanity ended up this way.

And the causation between people being heartlessness and power of authority is incredibly important: the way we build society creates the incentive structure of how we behave within that society. We have created a society that rewards abandoning empathy and solidarity to gain power and authority (i.e. security and stability) Thus we have a society of people who have no empathy or solidarity.

It would but unfortunately we have built a world where our systemic structures incentivize abandoning empathy and solidarity in order to get ahead of “the competition” (i.e. your fellow man)

Bad people always will exist to some extent, those people are irrelevant. The major problem is that we have a society that turns good people bad in order to survive.

Same. This is why I haven’t used it. Nothing on there that I really care to watch

Again with the projection.
