You are missing in the left quadrant for the past 2,000 years; Most Hunter-Gatherer populations, Diggers, Levellers, Iroquois confederation, CNT-AIT Free Spanish Territory, Anarchist Ukraine, ELZN communes, and Rojava. You also need to shift Venezuela more to the centre of its quadrant and Nazi Germany to the middle right of its quadrant.

Comparing one small block to the major powers of any ideology, must less representing all of Anarchist or Libertarian Socialist ideology is kinda weak tbh.

Oh, sorry. Here's an updated version:

One dead, one wounded in a shooting inside CHAZ. Police are prevented from entering by an "angry mob" and the wounded person is taken to the hospital.

Is this left-libertarian praxis?

Residents and businesses sue Seattle over protest zone
Quote from: CNN
Residents and businesses in a Seattle neighborhood filed a class-action lawsuit Wednesday against the city for "extensive harm" suffered from the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP.

The plaintiffs "support protesters' right to bring issues such as systemic racism and police brutality," but the occupation has caused financial hardship and disrupted daily life, said Calfo Eakes LLP, the law firm representing the group, in a statement.
Four shootings in the area have erupted since Saturday, leaving one person dead.

"For more than two weeks, and with the full knowledge and participation of the City, our clients' neighborhood and properties have been blocked, barricaded, occupied, and vandalized," the attorneys' statement reads.
are you changing your mind to the correct side, or you going to double down on supporting/making excuses for these people?


They've got a good case, what with Seattle's full support of the zone.

All businesses that didn't receive police protection for their property this year in Seattle should not have to pay taxes.

This is really despicable. Turns out that people get shot for no reason even in the anarcho-leftist utopia.

The Roman Empire should auth-left. The whole state was built on a massive welfare system, comprehensive public utilities, and an organized process for the immigration and assimilation of foreigners.

Also, it's a stretch to call Venezuela, the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, and Nazi Germany "successful". It's also a stretch to classify the European Union as Auth-Right: if anything they're the very definition of Grill-Pilled Centrist.

Yeah, almost everything in this chart is wrong. But most of it is wrong in obvious and boring ways, whereas the Roman Empire's placement is wrong in an interesting way.

Missed these posts. The Roman Empire was extremely hierarchical and land ownership was concentrated among the elites. Public utilities are not an inherently "leftist" policy; Adam Smith supported public ownership of roads and infrastructure. Also, in the long term, none of those nations will be "successful," so the fact that some of them no longer exist or were destroyed by external factors is a moot point. I mean, there are obviously no actually successful leftist states, but I had to include crap like Venezuela in order for the joke to work.

They should have taken lessons from established sustainable settlements in rural Virginia, those Yiddish-speaking farms in upstate New York, SSPX, hell, maybe even the Amish.  Projects like these are noble, but they aren't going to work in large metros where nobody knows each other.

Thanks for the inspiration. I promise this is my last Chad meme.

Also this is our daily reminder, that the government must seize and confiscate all guns from the citizenry. Only then, will we be truly safe.

Bad thing to include in a comment about how "most Democrats are perfectly sane and normal."

I would recommend that you read literally any post of mine in the Religion/Philosophy board before taking this any further.

Saying that homosexuals are degenerates is an absolutely abhorrent viewpoint, and you should renounce it. Also I'm pretty sure you've said that you're an atheist yourself, so your decision to attack other atheists is a bit mind-boggling, to say the least.

You are a masterful troll.

That sort of language is pretty common in these sort of memes, and as a gay guy myself it made me chuckle. I think it's safe to say that does not represent Dule's true views, unless you also think he believes everyone but the Amish are going to burn in hell as well (Or that theirs is a lifestyle worthy of emulation by society at large.)    

Thanks. I'm fairly certain now that S019 is just playing an extreme caricature of a suburban authoritarian. In the past he's ridden the line pretty carefully, but this time I think he's given himself away.

Why do you even put people on ignore if you still read every single post they write?
