How is he not under investigation by the SEC at this point?
LOL

google search terms "musk" "SEC"

and then do one with "-twitter" "bitcoin"

and then one with "dogecoin"

He's been investigated multiple times over the last 6 years for all kinds of shit


But it always ends with.........
"Rules are for the poors", obviously.

SEC rules are only to prevent people from stealing from above their pay grade, not the other way around.
Yup, considering the ruling classes wage theft dwarfs the combined robbery, burglary, car theft etc of the peons by a couple of factors. I would say the system is working as designed.

Time to burn american (perhaps western?) “capitalism” to the ground.

Took me far too long to understand that the anarchists are correct.
I support the sentiment…however the aftermath of providing for society is not something the anarchists ever gave much thought to. Sure, the party nights of mayhem would be satisfying in a sick way, but the hangover...
(but I am sure there are anarchist screeds that do address this, right next to the libertarian section of the microfiche catalogue)
i don’t think the downtrodden would actually get lifted up, in other words. Don’t give a fuck about the rich.

you might want to research the tenets a little more. That's in fact the entire basis.

this ain't some 80's spraypaint logo and that was always just an appropriation anyway. The entire concept of mutual aid is a pillar of anarchist practice.

Even juxtaposing this with libertarianism shows we got some readin to do.

The entire foundation of anarchism is a filling in of services at a community level when the government fails. Don't put the cart before the horse. The whole 'not gov't thing' is a recognition of incompetence, not the point of departure. That is community support, always first. There's a big difference between removing the government and just moving to live independent of it.

Yes, but it strikes me as being similar (yet the opposite) as libertarianism, in that neither can work at massive scales. Unfortunately, democracy and communism share this same flaw, human nature.

maybe a little cynical?

Centralization leads to massive bureaucratic failures which is exactly the point of anarchism. IE: quit worrying about warshington and make sure your neighbors are doing well. It never claimed to be 'scaleable'. That's the recognized problem it seeks to solve, not emulate.

When the gov't collapses (which we may get here in a few years), community based support and mutual aid is going to be a lot more valuable for keeping people alive than voting and praying the leaders fix things.

Classic libertarianism actually does share some traits. But what most people think is libertarianism in 2022 is a whole different and very stupid and destructive piece of shit. But the two have almost nothing to do with one another.

Modern libertarianism is holing up and protectin yo shit, even from the government. Anarchism is sharing yo shit and taking care of community just regardless of what goes on with the gov't. Polar opposites. Libertarianism protects individual capital. Anarchism protects people. Both may disregard the govt, but for very different reasons, and each guide extremely different actions under societal distress.

This is exactly what I used to think, but it is wrong. Dead wrong.

Anarchy is the opposite of hierarchy. That is the basis of the philosophy.

Woo does a great job of laying out the basic mechanics of it.

Get to know your local anarchists.

So you’re saying anarchism is socialism for people who aren’t mature enough to organise effectively?

Siri, say something even more ignorant, in the literal sense of the term

thanks!

Some of the most effective organizers in history have been devout anarchists. And there's a ton of obvious crossover with 'socialists'

There's a group call the black panthers that were so well organized they scared whitey into making even new racist laws.

Twitter didn’t pull any punches in the 127-page filing, walking right up to the line of calling Musk an idiotic liar without actually using those words. But they were damn close.

“The Counterclaims are a made-for-litigation tale that is contradicted by the evidence and common sense,” Twitter said in the new court filing. The company called his complaints “factually inaccurate, legally insufficient, and commercially irrelevant.”
