Nobody on earth should ever be forced to do anything they don’t want to do including children

Government should be abolished
Money should be abolished
Force and coercion should be abolished
All forms of hierarchy should be abolished
Every public school in America should be reduced to rubble

I approve of this level of anarchy.

Having to do things we dont want to do comes with existence. If we left food production up to only those that wanted to do it we'd be extinct.

Got anything more useful?

Golfclap for your support of anti-vax btw.

Pointing out contradictions and dualities are the mental gymnastics of a simpleton

Im not aware of any hunter/gatherer tribes that stayed as such after acquiring the knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry. Also the great respect for animals typically associated with native americans suggests, to me, that they did it to survive and not out of joy, though they may have been proud when conquering a huge beast.

Feel free to point me to some contradictory examples. Im pretty dumb with the history.

Limited capitalism really is the best system if your looking at whatever generates the most happiness, structure and access to resources that they don't have to constantly create themselves (electricity, access to real-time information from across the world, entertainment, supermarkets, etc). Highest standard of living and stability, gg no re.

Anarchy or even some small-scale form of communism could be fun and all, but people will get sick of them real quick if everyone has to go back to toiling away 20+ hours a day on the farm and don't have easy access to the conveniences of modern life.

In that sense, large-scale automation of everything in the future might end up being a blessing. Scarcity in a lot of respects would disappear and at that point you wouldn't need capitalism to provide that umbrella/ecosystem I described above.

'Tommy Robinson' banned from Facebook and Instagram

And in the brief time he had before his accounts disappeared, he posted an Insta video scrounging and begging for peoples money

I am thankful for my two further 'Tommy'-free channels, where I am not reminded of this ****ing cretinous scumbags existence.

Feb 26 - Every Extra Pint of Beer Takes 15 Minutes Off Your Life

Quote:
Strap in for this pintful of bad news.

The maximum number of drinks you can have a week to be a healthy person is five. Total. That's about 100g of alcohol, or five standard size glasses of wine or pints of beer. Drink more than that in a week, and you run a higher risk for heart failure, stroke, fatal aneurysm, or death.

This sobering guideline comes courtesy of a new paper studying the drinking habits and health of almost 600,000 people. It found that when 40-year-old participants had more than five drinks in a week, their risk of early death rose steadily.

Here's an even more exact breakdown, as a leading scientist in the field of understanding public risk, David Spiegelhalter of the University of Cambridge, told the Guardian: For a 40-year-old, every glass of alcohol above the suggested weekly limit shortens their life by 15 minutes. If a 40-year-old drinks three glasses of wine a night, for example, he loses two years of his life.

The risk is "about the same as a cigarette," Spiegelhalter said.

On the other hand, a recent study found that if you're over the age of 90, drinking two glasses of beer or wine a day gives you a better shot at living longer. Get yourself into your nineties on a healthy, five-beer-a-week diet, and then you can go crazy (relatively speaking).

Or, you can go to the bar this weekend, order what you want, and worry about this another day. Because what's the point of living a long life if you're not enjoying it?
