11·23 days agoYou can’t exist in a solely ideological paradigm. You have to be pragmatic while working towards bending the world towards something better.
I am simply arguing that advertisements have a bad effect on society and our everyday lives. If more people cared, more could be done about it, instead of most people being unaware and/or delusional of its subconcious effects, and doing nothing about it.
You think the cookie business advertisements are no problem. I disagree, even though I ultimately believe there are much bigger problems (of course…) - This advertisement is manipulative nonsense, like the vast majority of them, and the business or the product etc. is not a cute little innocent thing.

11·23 days agoMaybe most people are not angry enough (or aware enough) about how deceptive, manipulative, continuously invasive, and disturbing to our daily lives advertisements are. Don’t let off some business because their advertisement is “cute.” They just want you to buy their shit.

A lot of people say capitalism is necessary and that was what it sounded like, considering the image in OP.
I don’t know if the sewage example disproves anarchism and it depends what you mean by anarchism anyways. If a hierarchy suddenly pops up for some very specific purpose or instance, is it suddenly “not anarchism” or “anarchism doesn’t work” if so many other things are done effectively in an “anarchist” way?
I’m not personally a strict 100% dogmatic anarchist, anyways. It’s a tool and body of knowledge and set of principles
While it’s true there is no precedent for this amount of population and this complex of “sewage” requirements before or outside of capitalism, that doesn’t mean capitalism is necessary to manage a complex sewage system for a large population. When people use examples like this as a rationalization to say “capitalism is necessary” it is lazy and tunnel visioned. A million other considerations aside, the fact that capitalism is destroying the planet and making and keeping most peoples’ lives miserable, pointing to logistical challenges like “who will do this tough job” is not an excuse to maintain the coercion of capitalism’s sort of “slavery,” wage slavery. We will find a way to manage the “shit” especially since the infrastructure already exists, look, so much of it has been built and can just be managed in a different way. If we ever needed capitalism (debatable of course) we don’t anymore.
That’s just an extension of the “who would clean the bathrooms?” “problem” (not really a serious issue just a lazy pro-capitalist-ideology rhetorical device)
Answer: The bathrooms need to be cleaned, so people would find a way to organize it being done.
Oh, just like garbage collection (and other things people don’t necessarily want/love to do) happened before/outside of capitalism.





I see…
