I'm not wrong.

It's stupid to say that the phrase "being able to rely on someone" is the same as "being dependent" on someone.

I'll let it go, sure, because I don't give a damn about how stupid you idiots can be, but I won't admit I'm wrong, because I'm not.

Why are you talking to Necro? You know he's stupid, it's not like he has any point whatsoever.

I care more about semantics than the death of an old man who didn't pay his bill.

Did anyone bother to focus on the fact it says he had a GAS heater?

Actually I have gas heat, and when my electric went out my heat went out too. You still need a fan to circulate the hot air out of the furnace so without electric, gas heat is still a no go I think.

Still, it's fucking stupid for people to act like society murdered him when he had an outstanding bill. Actions have consequences, and it's not societies responsibility to be your nanny.

I mean, if Kontan came up to me and said: "Oh MAN I'm a little short this month guy, can you loan me some money for food?" I probably would. If Kontan kept asking me to loan him money for food, and he eventually owed me $1000 or more, I'd probably say: "Sorry guy, can't do it. You'll have to take care of yourself."

If he then starved to death, would you people consider me his murderer?

All that because he's "middle class"? Jesus, since when did being punk mean you had to be fucking poor?


Dude, Kropotkin is one of the most well respected anarchist authors, and he was a fucking prince.

Unless I'm mistaken, Jillian is not Middle Class. He's Upper-Class. I seem to remember hearing his family described as "Rich-as-hell".

Not that such things disqualify him from being punk or anything mind you. I'm just mentioning it for the record.

Yeah, but he gave up his own title, and lived a very ascetic life when he left Russia, as he refused to make any money from his writings in journals.

Yeah, but that wasn't by me. It was by another guy speculating on my family status just like Necro. I'm middle-class, and I can admit my family still pays for a good portion of my college scholarships don't cover.
I can't see how that takes away any legitimacy to my liking Beneath the Shadows, or my political opinions for that matter.

Exactly. He acts like some toughguy punker on here, but in reality he is a poshboy.

In his spectacular vision of an anarchist society, Jill Jill thinks everything will be all happy, and wonderful with invisible pink unicorns and stuff. Well he can go and think that, but reality is quite different.

the way i see anarchy, it's just the beginning stages of a totalitarian ruler/tyrant run place.
because eventually from all the confusion and 'do whatever the hell you want' somebody is going to want all that power. for example check out the piece of shit russian revolution ( yes i know, communist) it was supposed to be everyone equal ( like anarchy, everyone is equal to do what they want) but i guess i don't have to go into what a corrupt shithole it is even now.

Dude, you obviously don't know anything about anarchist theory, but I'm not sure if I want to begin another anarchism thread.

well, what i do know was talking to bunch of delusional Canadians, and they were full of shit. (like combing communism and anarchy is so not going to work)
if you are referring to having no central government and having everything ruled by areas like independent city states, good luck with that.

if not, okay. whatever.

Actually, it was the "people refuse to watch out for one another" part that was key.
