  • I think it you actually talk to folks there aren’t a ton of strict ancaps but your definition. Most of them work towards building strong voluntary local communities to support each other. Most of them would support local taxes. I have yet to meet an actual strict ancap as you describe IRL. You seem to be casting a wide net based on the most extreme end of the spectrum.

    I don’t think that has a chance economically but I don’t think they are crazy to consider how to implement portions of it.




  • 100% monkeys were not meant to have real discussions behind an anonymous wall. People act differently with little to no repercussions. Add in vocal minorities, group think, bots, and you have a recipe for hate. Good well meaning people screaming at each other from the same tent is pretty obvious on Reddit and moreso on Lemmy but it’s nothing compared to Facebook and Twitter which are more representative of populations.

    I’m about to go full boomer here. The Internet even pre social media was the end for globalism and what most of the west thinks of the good days (yes I realize it was far from perfect but you can submit the trend has gone changed downwards with regards to global stability). While yes it gives people the ability to safely explore and learn it more often gives a voice to shitty dumb and uneducated opinions and ideas without repercussions. Add social media and essentially the digital communications wars governments and zealots are engaging in at a scale we’ve never seen.
