You got it wrong. Violence against the political class is never ok, at least according to the political class

That’s ageism

/mjaʊ̯/

I mean it’s not wrong to use it that way but please consider the research into solutions of these challenges

I don’t even care if that’s what will happen

That is one application of the idea. Most people use the concept to privatize commonly owned or state own things which ironically leads to companies that destroy rivers and stuff. There is research on which criteria make a common work and it’s not surprising that the ownership model that was predominant for a long while actually work despite the fact that some white guy had a thought experiment and said it can’t possibly work.

Neighbors aren’t strangers.

Which was my point. Why focus on exchange with strangers when most people you interact with aren’t strangers?

barter remains an essential part of exchange with strangers

While this is true, exchange with strangers isn’t the primary means of exchange in many societies. You can give your neighbor shoes they need to work on the fields and they own you one, later in fall they give it back in potatoes they harvest. No need to have a sack of potatoes in the moment you need new shoes. These IOUs get formalized into quantifiable valued you can write down and that’s fiat money.

Ok, it exists but it wasn’t the predecessor of money. It’s not that the “double coincidence of needs” or what it is called made money a necessity. That’s my point and I worded it poorly, sorry for that.

History gone woke for good and I’m tired of pretending this is ok. We need our foundation myths. How else are we supposed to keep our nation states running if we don’t have a shared origin just because it’s “factually false”? What does that even mean? How else will be keep capitalism alive if we say “barter doesn’t work” and “tragedy of commons”? I know barter never really existed and there are many moneyless economic systems and that the tragedy of commons is empirically disproven but don’t let wokeness win! Facts don’t care about your feelings and nation states and capitalism is fact!

I kinda see your point but still oppose such restrictive policies. It’s not worth it. If you sacrifice freedom to gain security, you will lose both in the long run.

That’s almost a year!

Tbf: it’s a long year, a leap year to be precise

The bar is quite low, which is not to say they’re wrong

It’s about IT. Close enough

I say Z. Everything else is just wrong

But Germans famously go to Poland and Czechia for shopping

No fun allowed than. Thanks Obama
