  • Sanitation in Rome was open sewer lines yes, that had constantly flowing water that removed waste in the gutter. Also closed sewer lines nes that removed waste from people’s houses. Depending on the era you want to try to claim this in. At no point were people just throwing waste into the street and leaving it there. That was just an English thing.


  • No you asked a question unrelated to the discussion in motion so you can reinforce the world view you were brainwashed with as a child.

    No, there is no example of a large stateless society with large infrastructure, because people like you love committing genocide whenever anyone is not under your control.

    The original question implied was is government required for infrastructure, and the answer is unambiguously no.



  • There is no worse evil than genocide. You cannot lesser evil your way out of being responsible for a genocide you’re committing. It is never the less evil choice. You’ve hit rock bottom. There’s no where else anyone can go.

    I’m not going to vote for genocide. I’m not going to endorse it, fund it, or rubber stamp it out of a sense if self preservation because quite frankly that’s a pathetic excuse that only the most pathetic scum sucking coward would use.

    I would rather neither fascist be elected, that the American public use their collective power to demand both parties remove themselves and a nation wide vote be held for non genocidal candidates.

    But since that’s not an option and this vote truly does not matter to anyone with humanity, I chose to vote third party early, and I’ll be helping my local mutual aid networks prepare a little extra since they enemies of either a Harris or trump government.






  • The same reason the literal entirety of society exists. After we completely figured out food, water, and shelter, we got bored. We stopped being at risk of famine 10k years ago, we pretty quickly figured out fermentation and distillation makes water not kill us, and we figured out how to house everyone.

    Then we kept just making that faster and easier to accomplish.

    Well what do we do with all that free time? Fuck play games, do some entertainment, kill other people over petty nonsense, create pointless class based societies that generate artificial scarcity simply because a few people are greedy and most are too trusting of those greedy people, enrich out lives through momentary joy.

    So in the dark ages of computing this tradition was continued and a very smart, highly paid scientist in charge of tens of millions of dollars of equipment made some of that equipment play table tennis.

    A few decades and massive corporate funding of naive over enthusiastic nerds with much cheaper but more powerful equipment later and we have video games instead of going to the pub to play dice or doing a war…

    What government has given out free ponies to all citizens?

    Is this not where we ask nonsequiturs?

    To address your point that is irrelevant to any discussion at hand. We can get into why there are exceedingly few stateless societies allowed to exist, the history of aristocracy and how every single world leader is a descendant of a feudal lord proving feudalism never died out and psychopaths have ruled the world since the dawn of government, but you’re frankly not ready for that discussion. Until you are I suggest JAQing off in your right wing echo chamber from now on like you types are used to.


  • I’m not advocating for not voting. In fact I encourage everyone to vote. I just cannot physically vote for genocide. It’s not in my blood or bones to do so. There is no excuse, and it is never the lesser evil nor does it reduce harm.

    And no, I’m not killing children. I have been responsible for the deaths of children, of course, like you. I voted Obama, in 2012 even after he killed a shitload of childre and then went on to kill even more children.

    I’m not doing that again. Never again, infact. If your society requires genocide to function, if your society requires you to advocate for genocide and vote for genocide to function, your society needs to be utterly destroyed in every way possible. It cannot be allowed to continue to exist. It is evil, and it cannot become more evil. It is the worst it can be.

    It’s not, but that’s not what government is. Government is the removal of responsibility away from the people; the positive reason proffered being that this frees up time for people to focus on other things, but in reality the only actual reason is misanthropy. You don’t trust people, so you want a source you can trust to do things. The problem with that is humans have an evolutionary adaptation wherein some, exceedingly few, humans are born without the key ability of empathy that all normal (meant in the most offensive way possible) people are born with. These few individuals colloquially known as psychopaths exclusively take advantage of this distrust and place themselves in positions of power despite the fact they are solely the reason the distrust exists.

    The line about how power corrupts is false, power attracts the corrupted and allows them to be free. Therefore we can never have any person ever have more power than any other.

    Is built by people, designed by people, contributed to by people, and most importantly exists in stateless societies. When a community has a common need and enough spare time to address that need, infrastructure happens. A government not only is not needed for this, but objectively halts or stalls progress for a variety of selfish goals of the individual politicians, as humans cannot be politicians, just parasites.

    Human behavior is objectively to work together for a common goal. It is exceedingly few people in society that cannot do this. Basing your view of humanity’s behavior on the outliers is asinine.

    I highly recommend you and other misanthropes take a human evolutionary psychology course or two. Standford has one for free on their YouTube page.
