Fair point.

I agree that it’s already started.

I don’t know about America losing. We have a wacko in charge that would rather nuke the world than admit defeat.

“if you do it correctly” holds a lot of weight to this argument. I’d be worried of anyone who wants to start from scratch, instead of building on the current foundation.

You make good points, though. I’m just more skeptical than you.

instead voting for independent anarchist parties which try to get rid of as many laws and government institutions and also nationalize anything the people will be better served by, under collective ownership.

Once the laws are gone/things are deregulated, the corpos will likely take over. Nationalizing sounds good, but likely won’t end well without regulations, imo.

They’re part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it’s all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won’t. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you’ll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

404media is pretty solid, for what it’s worth.
