Ja, ich habe da schon mal was bestellt. Beim letzten Mal Landkarten. Die gab es kostenlos. Ein tolles Angebot.

Richtig gut, auch die Aufbereitung. Vielen Dank! Ich bin auf Baustellen der Nation gespannt.

You mean like a hermit? I think that’s a rare fantasy. But if you want to do it, sure, go for it. Isn’t there a lot of space and wilderness in Canada?

The issue, as I see it, is that most people struggle to envision a society beyond capitalism. Capitalist ideology is embedded in every aspect of our lives. It appears in our mindset, in books, movies, and even in children’s television shows. The narrative that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough, and that poverty is simply the result of laziness, is both powerful and pervasive.

The idea that everyone should live in isolated cabins is neither a realistic vision nor a desirable goal for society.

That’s a nice quote, thank you. I looked into it. It’s by Andrew Collier:

To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.

I agree with you on that, late stage capitalism in full bloom. I was thinking about the time multiple decades ago, at the beginning of the last century.

It is really sad to see that we as a society are past our prime in multiple areas. At least when looking at it from a “western” perspective. And when I consider the political climate it seems that things have to get a whole lot worse before they can get better. I resonate with the shower thought.

That has always been the case. I’d even say it got easier in the last decades, in general. That does not mean people are no longer struggling, of course.

Stimmt. Ich würde vermuten, dass die Aktion beliebt bei den Libertären und Crypto-Bros ist und er damit einfach Pluspunkte sammeln kann. Dass ihn das so wichtig scheint, überrascht mich auch.

Ich zähle mich nicht zu diesem Personenkreis, freue mich aber dennoch über die Nachricht, da ich die Haftstrafe für Ulbricht als überzogen empfunden habe.
