We already know Trump rapes kids, murders infants, and was heavily involved in human trafficking. If what we know isn't enough to take him out, he'll never be held to account.

Corrupt hack should eat shit.

Supposedly I'm not allowed to condone these things I'm not willing to condemn, so we can't talk about how he ought to die.

They're there because of mass propaganda and poor education.

Nah, his stealth was low tier.

Was trying to figure out how many Trumps old I am, and created a temporal paradox.

Nah, that brick is being used to build a wall. Anarcho-Isolationism is where it's at.

Edit: After going down a rabbit hole of polcompball definitions, maybe Non-Interventionistic-Egoism is more where I'm at? Labels are hard, but I like term spooks.

Humans are all gross. I prefer extra curvy pieces of drift wood.

There's no winning. Any time humans organize the coordinators have both the power and self-interest to corrupt the organization to serve them as individuals or sub-organizations more than the collective, and humans spontaneously self-organize without a pre-existing organizational structure, so it's not like we can avoid it.

Best we can do is try to make people more independent from each other, quietly act independently, and occasionally remind those with power that taking away people's individual agency has consequences they'd find undesirable.

Maybe if you don't know what capitalism is. A lot of people seem to confuse capitalism with markets. It's had to imagine a world without markets, but capitalism is just an ownership system. It's easy to imagine a world made up of cooperatives. It's basically the same world we already have but everyone gets paid more and there are no shareholders.

There's nothing stopping people from working for or with cooperatives or not working for or with corporations. It's just that most people can't be bothered to care. If everyone stopped buying from corporations, corporations would die pretty quick. If everyone bought from cooperatives, they'd be a lot more stable. We're only picking winners and losers via government contracts. The res of the economy is a free for all.

Regardless of whether it's arguing power corrupts, evil seeks power, or evil is more visible; this notion that evil isn't pervasive is inconsistent with my lived experience. It's not even that bad systems force mediocre people into taking several banal actions that culminate in mass suffering -- that does happen, but there are a lot of just straight up bad people at every level of society. Even in the best communities I've been a part of there is a shockingly large number of selfish, egotistical pricks. Perhaps it's a product of individualism without enlightened self-interest or an inability to see things from multiple perspectives, but the result is the same: suffering and conflict are pervasive throughout every level of every society.

Call it evil, call it economics or politics, call it whatever you want, but humanity seem to work best when we keep each other at arms length. Help each other, yes, but put a large amount of effort into not interfering with each other.

Whether it's Health-Insurance, Nazi-Trains, or Shareholder Value; I found the "banality of evil" to be a pretty compelling argument.

Reticulum and File-Sharing (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Has anyone set up file-sharing, especially torrents or something similar, over reticulum (RNS)?

I'm not into networking, so I'm not sure if what I'm asking actually makes sense, but the way reticulum is described it seems like it'd essentially eliminate the need for VPNs? Or maybe the RNS-VPN effectively replaces your VPN so instead of sending your traffic to a particular trusted private server it just sends it to the reticulum network? Would this still then require access to the wider web or would local torrents work? I don't really know how torrent trackers work or what would need to be replaced or modified.

I apologize if this is a dumb question I just don't have much knowledge in this area.
