I don't think that's what anyone suggests. However the opposite is what needs to be called out. Why do police departments consistently ask for more and more funding, usually looking for reasons to spend it (see urban assault vehicles, larger and more militarized forces) when crime is down already? If they're doing fine with the budget they have, why do we need to give them even more money?
"Defund the police" doesn't mean we have no police. It means they're overfunded. Let's see about defunding them and giving some of that money to other people, like mental health advocates or groups that help with homelessness - some of the main causes of crime. Wouldn't that mean the police can focus on things they are trained for while also cutting crime down at it's source? If someone is never desperate enough to mug someone in the first place, doesn't that mean the crime was prevented?
Me:
That's incredibly dumb.
Lol, I disagree- sorry not sorry
So no laws then huh?
Right. Is this your first time encountering an anarchist?
Nope, I do just enjoy pointing out stupidity when I see it.
Hey, me too!
🫵
Yes I'm stupid, the one who's political view is unknown but you the anarchist aren't stupid though your idealist bullshit is taken by just about everyone to be wildly naive and idiotic. But sure, you do you and enjoy it in the relative safety of about governed world or as others might call it, pricing my point for me.
Haven't you heard? Everyone who disagrees with me is stupid
It's just as sane as logical as anarchism so... I dunno did you expect me to be surprised?
Discovering that you're stupid can be a challenging experience, and it's completely normal to feel a range of emotions, from shock and anger to denial. It's important to remember that smarts are just one measure of ability and do not define your worth or potential.
Intelligence is multifaceted, encompassing creativity, emotional understanding, practical skills, and the ability to navigate life's challenges. While you lack all of those, your unique strengths and talents may lie in other areas.
Take this moment as an opportunity for self-reflection rather than self-judgment. Consider what you enjoy, what you're passionate about, and where you feel most capable. These are the areas where you can grow and excel. Remember, everyone has their own path to success and fulfillment, and there is no single measure that can capture the full scope of a person's abilities.
Surround yourself with supportive people who appreciate you for who you are, not just for what being a big stupid idiot says about you. Seek out activities and environments where you can thrive and continue to learn. Embrace lifelong learning as a way to develop new skills and perspectives.
Above all, be kind to yourself. Accepting who you are is a journey, and it's okay to take your time. You are valuable and capable, with much to contribute to the world in your own unique way, even though you're dumber than a bag of dogshit
Damn nearly used my last brain cell to read all that
You certainly used the rest on that inane comment.
"smarts", I guess you gave up on that Grammer Nazi shit huh? Or are you explaining how you find out you're not intelligent.
Yep, you know my life history and personality based on 7 comments. I know how you can buy into anarchism though, you just assume anything that doesn't make sense is just your lack of intelligence not that it might just be a dumb idea that most children could explain the flaws of.
You see the irony there right? No, didn't think so.
And yet you can't explain your shitty idealism but sure, everyone else is wrong and you're the king of earth. Gotcha.
"Smarts" is a colloquialism
Exactly
You never asked
Finally someone gets it
It's bad Grammer and highly regionalized at that.
So a douche and an anarchist, who could have guessed that combination.
I did.
We got the douche part already, lets take it back a notch before you cut yourself with all that edge.
Okie dokie
I'm mostly only a douche to fascists and conservatives and capitalists and liberals and people I disagree with on small things
Not to me you didn't. I went back up the chain and I see you kind of half asked someone else, but not me
Me IRL:
So you're a douche, you could have saved the inane exposition.
I did, you should read again.

That's not asking for an explanation. You asked a yes/no question. Yes, no laws
Yes or no being explainations is what? A new concept to you or something.
Huh? I initially said "right." Which means "correct"/"yes." You never asked for an explanation. You asked a yes or no question, which I answered, and then complained that I didn't offer an explanation?
Right is an affirmation of receipt, yes no or maybe are the possible answers and you didn't choose any of the above and still failed to explain.
Anarchism exists yes, that didn't imply you are an anarchist you could be part of any similarly idiotic idealist nonsense.
If it's a battle of wit, you're losing.
You said "so no laws?" And I said "right." That's pretty clear cut to me. What do you want explained?
Fear not, I'm also part of plenty of other nonsense
Lol
Left. The word you're looking for is correct, right is an affirmation or direction. Nothing, I want you to explain your belief system so you can see it in front of you and go "well that's kinda fuckin stupid huh?.
Undoubtedly so I have no doubt.
Idiots tend to laugh a lot so, par for the course I suppose.
Just because you don't know the first thing about a subject doesn't mean it's 'dumb'
It means you're ignorant and lazy
And maybe you should approach a new subject and belief as a student before you decide to mouth off like a fool
That's your assumption based on literally nothing.
It means your presumptuous and dumb.
The same applies to you ya fuckin hypocrite.
Ahahah
An anarchist thats a Grammer Nazi, again par for the dumbfuckin course.
I just think it's ironic, going around calling people stupid and then writing like that
See that's a mistake, it doesn't mean I stupid it means I made a mistake, saying something intentional and unintelligent makes you stupid. That said your did just prove that woke dumb thing though I didn't think you meant to.
Lol wait
Are you a conservative?
No I have a disability, we went over this. You can point it out like an asshole or you can accept what is obviously an error as an error and stop trying to end zone dance about it.
Your last comment implies you know my political stance, are you admitting you're full of shit and spite not necessarily in that order.
...wat?
Was "woke" a typo?
You haven't told me about any disability. Unless that's a joke about being stupid? Or do you legitimately have a learning disability?
I only guessed your political stance as conservative based on your use of the word "woke."
I am full of shit and spite though.
It's a typo in that it's an inadvertantly added word in didn't catch, sure. And yes on both accounts, are you honestly just trying to win "shitty irrelevant things to make fun of" bingo or something?
Ah and yet your last comment said you know me so we know one thing for a fact, you're a liar for whatever that might be worth.
You accidentally typed the word "woke" and didn't notice?
I wasn't trying to make fun of your disability, to be clear. I just wanted to be mean to you. I'm also disabled.
I legitimately think you must be getting me confused with someone else
You understand what severe dyslexia is correct?
And yet you are still doing it, funny how that is. Notice me not making fun of your disability.
No.
Yeah
I was asking genuinely. You wrote a whole word that you wouldn't use in that context if you weren't a conservative (even by mistake), and I didn't realize your use of it was an error. I'm not making fun of you for the error. I'm laughing at you for being conservative
Okay, then link me to where you asked me, and link me to where I lied, please
Edit: disregard the "link me to where you asked me" part- responding to that in our other thread
There's your explanation then.
No you weren't, you clearly don't care or you wouldn't be playing the troll in another comment chain. Also, no I'm not a conservative and anyway it didn't make sense in context so it was clearly an error. Again, you tried to make light of the situation and stuck your foot directly in your mouth.
I already did that, fuckin read dude it would solve a lot of these issues.
Little of what you've said makes much sense, so I had no way to know
Let's make a few things clear:
Also- check timestamps. I edited that comment when your other reply came through, and responded over there.
Not at all.
*Edit= sounds like crying about an edit to me.
Lol
Bruh. Like I could know you're a racial minority.
Respect, honestly. A few tweaks and you're basically an anarchist already
Hey, you're the one that told me to "fucking read" when you can't read timestamps. Idk what to tell you
Doubt all you'd like it's not an argument and you didn't know me well enough to think anything more or less. But do go on.
Am I? I tend to refrain from calling people monkeys because of the obvious implied racism.
Not at all, there are better forms of haven't government and given this interaction in 100% proof anarchism doesn't work.
I told you to fucking read because you didn't before the edit dipshit, you can't retroactively act less stupid simply because you edited after the fact. I know what to tell you though, stop crying.
Rats- you're not acting fun stupid anymore, now its just annoying stupid, so I'm gonna move on.
Thanks for the good time!
Fun stupid as opposed to what? Stern stupid?
