Wow. Can you imagine what would happen if an American car company's fully automated driving were responsible for the death of three teenagers in a fiery crash in Nevada?

I can only assume there'd be a full recall, the CEO would go on TV to apologize and resign.

But not everyone can be a beacon of freedom.

It's like when you look at a piece of wood on your deck and you think: "do I need to replace that whole plank, or is it just fine?" So you stick a knife in to see how solid the wood is, does the knife immediately stop or does it plunge right through.

So we shall see just how rotten things are.

This guy's a giant piece of shit. I can't believe he's even in government. You'd have to be a real asshole to give this guy a government job where he's actually running things and able to affect people's lives.

I generally don't engage this much with posts of these types, but you seem to be a person who is making statements in good faith. As such, I want to encourage you to look a bit more into those you might label the "alt-left" because I'm quite certain I fall into that category and there's a lot more than "anyone can do anything they want at anytime" to what we (in the US) were taught in school about things like historical Anarchist movements.

Namely: "Anarchy means no rules and no one is in charge! Burn everything!!!!"

If I were to sum things up as succinctly as possible I would say that the primary idea behind "anarchy" as a philosophy isn't a "return to tribalism" but a flattening of hierarchies. (Not to be confused with anarcho-capitalism, which is in practice very different with regard to hierarchy)

Boiled down to key concepts:

  • No one person is inherently better or more intrinsically valuable than another person.
  • Every person should be allowed their own agency, to associate with whom they please, and have access to the necessities of life.
  • Any decisions made should be made with the consent of everyone they affect.

There's a lot of actual theory and what not you can get into, it's all available freely online, because that's another thing anarchists are big on, free access to education. The first read that springs to mind is "The Conquest of Bread" which lays out how and why an anarchy based society would work in practice. (Tl;Dr: technology has made it so that we can produce far more than we actually need, so we are capable of supporting everyone without starvation, homelessness, and man-made oppression)

I wasn't gonna, but since you asked:

"You're a bootlicker."

In response to that...
