whatever makes you feel better about yourself

not even sure what there is for me to be incorrect about, we’re talking about your own misunderstanding. you burnt multiple comments on a point i never even made. sorry youre so mad about that.

sorry you didnt get it

more like, im so smart, i can misrepresent the core ideals of political ideology, and then poke holes in my own misrepresentation.

Im also not dumb enough […]

appreciate the thorough explanation, but unfortunately it seems completely irrelevant to the actual words i said, or any meaning, intent, or purpose therein.

no, i dont think so. did i?

thanks for the input, but also, im not sure who you are or why you’re worried about seeming intellectually superior to the next person

maybe you’ve got anarchist sensibilities.

I was curious, so I went to Wikipedia, as one does.

A notable example of the observer effect occurs in quantum mechanics, as demonstrated by the double-slit experiment. Physicists have found that observation of quantum phenomena by a detector or an instrument can change the measured results of this experiment. Despite the “observer effect” in the double-slit experiment being caused by the presence of an electronic detector, the experiment’s results have been interpreted by some to suggest that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.[3] However, the need for the “observer” to be conscious is not supported by scientific research, and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function ψ and the quantum measurement process

Edit: erhm. this isnt an ad for Wikipedia. the words just shook out that way. lol

I think prob a regional thing. Lotta irish catholics up in new england

I also won’t stand in the way if other victims of the oppressive system we live under rise up in violent revolt

Hmm, doesn’t this make you non-pacifist? I think if you condone violence by others you might not be a pacifist, even if you refuse to take part in violence, yourself. I guess it depends on the definition…

Only reason I say this is because I feel the same way personally about violence – I never use it as a tactic, and would like the right to refuse to use it personally – but believe that members of a movement shouldn’t restrict the range of tactics its members use against a violent system. So I feel like I feel the same as you, but came to the opposite conclusion (I’m not a pacifist)

I tend to agree with Peter Gelderloos opinion that non violence protects the state
