  • List of things the fictional Abrahamitic God did that broke their own commandments, or hypocritical moments:

    • God claiming to be the sole God (in the Bible itself, references to other deities with apparent powers exist such as Ba’al)
    • God claiming that people shall worship no other gods: see above. Insecure, much?
    • No making of images (while they make humans in their image)
    • No taking their name in vain (scorns others regularly)
    • Remembering and observing the sabbath (doesn’t even do it themselves)
    • Honouring parents (doesn’t even have any parents themselves)
    • Thou shalt not kill (literally the whole flood, firstborn kills, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.)
    • No committing adultery (God doesn’t even do sex themselves I think)
    • No stealing (they steal immortality from humanity)
    • No lying (lies to Isaac to make him offer his own son)
    • Don’t be envious of other peoples’ partners and stuff (didn’t like that humans became self-conscious, handicapped the garden’s snake for givinf that, killed people in Sodom and Gomorrah because they were probably queer)
    • Set up stones bc I said so (if God is almighty then why do they not simply put this thought into everyone?)

    In a nutshell, that Abrahamitic God is a raging insecure hypocrite.









  • There’s also decentralised planning. Seldom are even those axes on one line - they can overlap and have shades and nuances.

    And we also should ask ourselves: what makes a free market? Is it a market in where cooperations are allowed to grow “too big to fail”, and have the power to seize entire societies? Or is it a regulated market in where this cannot occur?

    Or a market in where the focus lies on social ownership? Is it therefore not the freest, when one can decide for and by themselves at work?


  • I don’t know what planet you live on that you think I advocate for an authoritarian government – but I prefer worker rights within a decentral framework, à la council or anarchist communism.

    As for the American situation itself, assuming no such model, I think there’s more necessary, such as better urban planning with free, frequent, punctual and high-quality public transit and bicycle lanes. Not to mention the Supreme Court should be appointed solely through apolitical processes, not by executives. Its appointment requirements should also be determined apolitically. The president also should not exist at all.

    No branch should have the power to increase its own power. The state is a centralised entity with a monopoly on violence; therefore the state must be abolished, and a “power vacuum” avoided through decentralised self-governance.


  • Depends on what you mean by worker’s rights and free market.

    Let’s say that that’s;

    • right to holiday, parental and medical leave
    • wages linked to inflation
    • adequate safety standards
    • strong and robust unemployment protections and social assistance
    • free healthcare
    • workplace democracy

    and:

    • free travel of goods
    • free travel of people

    in short, you’re looking for a Nordic model within the EU… you can’t really advocate worker’s rights without fully committing on the left economic model, imho. The centrist ways are acceptable for getting the rich onboard to move away from the right. But not acceptable for moving the rest away from left.
