Backup plan. Take a length of fibre cable with you. When you get lost burry the cable and sone fuckwit with a backhoe will dig it up and you can follow them to society.

[-] Jasonw911@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

As an electrician, this is true.

[-] UnityDevice@startrek.website 22 points 8 months ago

But now you're stuck in the woods with a libertarian. You're worse off than before.

[-] hollo@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

By speaking aloud in the woods I have mixed my labor with the land, and am therefore entitled to claim ownership. The libertarian is obliged to respect my private property and vacate the area before they violate the NAP by trespassing. By claiming the woods, I'm also no longer lost: I'm home.

no one is saying not to vote.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

lol…. You’re new here, aren’t you?

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

no. but it would be quite easy to disprove me.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

ROFL… it’s easy to prove. Find a post about something either good or bad that Biden has done. More than likely, you’ll find one of these trolls whining about gEnOciDe jOe and spreading misinformation. I’m not naming names, but there are quite a few very well known trolls that frequent political communities.

Don’t bother looking in posts about Trump though. For some reason, lemmy “socialists” only seem to hate Biden. My theory’s is that they know no one here is voting for that piece of shit, so there’s no point in trying to convince anyone to, but they can help by convincing liberals/democrats to not vote to “send a message” thereby helping trump win 2024.

If the point is missed, yes- I’m accusing most of these “socialists” of being right-wing propaganda trolls.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

if it were that easy, you could link it

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

It’s not my job or hobby to lead you to things. Do your own work.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. i don't believe and no one should unless you can support your own claim.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

The people here that matter, are aware of it- the people that deny it, are those trying to either hide it out of embarrassment, or they support it.

Either way, I don’t owe you anything. The internet rule of “either prove it or you’re wrong” doesn’t work in reality. A thing can be true without your entitlement of proof.

Either find it yourself, or walk away.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

A thing can be true without your entitlement of proof.

yea, but there is no reason to believe it without evidence, and i'm not responsible for supporting your claim: you are.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Either way, I don’t owe you anything.

nope, but i think you owe it to yourself to engage with some intellectual honesty, providing evidence for your claims.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Walk away.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Walk away.

don't tell me what to do

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Either find it yourself, or walk away.

don't tell me what to do.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

“either prove it or you’re wrong”

no one said that. it's a strawman

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Walk away.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Walk away.

do you need help finding the block button? i promise it's nowhere near your evidence.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

So that’s your bit? You troll people until you make them block you? You can’t leave someone alone when they ask you to? You seriously lack the self-control it takes to just stop talking my to someone that doesn’t respect you?

That’s pretty sad, but fine. I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

that's not doing the work. doing the work would be supporting your claim.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

thank god

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

You can’t leave someone alone when they ask you to?

if you don't like who responds, you have privacy settings. if you can't support your position, your position doesn't suddenly gain support by telling people you don't want to talk about it.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

You seriously lack the self-control it takes to just stop talking my to someone that doesn’t respect you?

if you don't respect me, why should you expect any respect in return?

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

You troll people until you make them block you

asking people to support their position isn't trolling.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

You troll people until you make them block you

i can't make you block me, but i can tell you if you don't like who responds to you on a public forum, you have privacy tools.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

It's how you summon Ron Swanson.

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I'm not Ron Swanson but my moustache was twitching. But since I'm here I'll just say that there's nothing that Government can't make worse.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago

this is super spammable. You could use it with vegans, bicycleists, standing desk proponents, free software enthusiasts, apple fanboys, anything. Its the ultimate meme!

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

One can't help but wonder if people here have sophisticated ideas on Proudhon, or just really no clue at all about anything.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

Are you talking about me or about the people up and downvoting my comment?

I wouldn't call my knowledge about Proudhon sophisticated and I'm not interested in him enough to investigate further. At one point, I tried to read the book where the quote is from, but didn't get far. The introduction and the comparison with slavery is murder is the most important thing I think and after that, well, I really tried.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The downvoters. (I'm in the same position on Proudhon.)

[-] ODD@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 8 months ago

Dear libertarian: if taxes are theft, what do you think of surplus value?

What would make a transcendentalist appear and convince you to just stay lost?

What if I don‘t believe in the existence of libertarians?
