No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We were taught about political systems in 7th grade, so it’s quite stretch for you to claim people need to read philosophers to understand them.

If you don't read primary sources then you don't know what they actually say, this is how you end up being propagandized into believing the absolute nonsense you believe about what anarchists believe.

Here's an example:

Buffalox firmly believed that all races other than whites are inferior and hates democracy because he hates democratic systems except fascism.

See how I can just say you said anything? That's what a secondary source does for you. That's why they aren't used in any serious academic analysis.

But i actually have read philosophers, but it wasn’t very big reads and it was long ago, doesn’t take much to recognize when you are confronted with bullshit.

which ones?

OK that’s not anarchy. maybe someone calls it so, but that has NOTHING to do with what anarchy actually means.

Bakunin, proudhon, literally every single founder of anarchist thought would COMPLETELY disagree with you, can you point to a single one that agrees with you? You can't, because you have no idea what anarchism is, just some nonsense your teacher told you in 7th grade. Orwell would also completely disagree with you, I literally can't even name one anarchist thinker who would agree with your definition.

I'm sorry but are you really claiming that the FOUNDERS of anarchism don't know what anarchism is and what they're doing has nothing to do with anarchism? Is that really what you're going to go with here?

Maybe your definition is just not what any anarchist thinkers actually believe, again, simply name one and you will prove me wrong. Don't you think it's more possible that you've simply been lied to about what anarchists believe?

just as an example, why do you think bakunin did this:

"By organizing and heading Czech and German secret societies to instigate a revolttionary movement in Bohemia, he made extraordinary efforts to help German democracy which, at that time, was preparing for the struggles of 1849."

I'm sorry but you don't know anything about anarchism and are confidently asserting you do. Read ANY anarchist philosophers and then get back to me.

literally every single founder of anarchist thought

You cant be serious?! Those people are hundreds of years to late to be founders of anarchism, from when the idea was reexamined 400 years ago. And the actual founder of the Idea was 2000 years ago.

It would be easier to believe you, if you didn't spew such bullshit. Also those were not new ideas when I was in 7th grade, I may be old, but i'm not THAT old.

And also Mikhail Bakunin was a Russian Anarchist, so how exactly were his ideas suppressed by capitalism as you claim?

When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called "the People's Stick".

This is a nice quote though.

just as an example, why do you think bakunin did this:

Because he was anti Marxism/communism, as per the quote above.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statism_and_Anarchy

His overall description of the ostensibly inevitable outcome of Marxism was very similar to Stalinism sixty years later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_anarchism

please just read the first paragraph aloud and try again

And also Mikhail Bakunin was a Russian Anarchist, so how exactly were his ideas suppressed by capitalism?

I said by the people in power, not necessarily by capitalism... capitalists are just currently the people with power, anarchist is a very anti-people in power ideology... duh.

again, which anarchist philosophers agree with you, name them. Name just one and you will prove me wrong.

also, you linked statism and anarchy and fundamentally don't understand that the state is separate from the government in anarchy, because you again, have no formal education on the topic but a lot of opinions.
