Projection and political illiteracy

No it was because we started before federation was in the codebase, and it took a lot of development work before we were able to federate due to the forks diverging. But ok genius.

People are scared of the end of modern slavery, free healthcare and democracy

New Zealand is at least teaching maori languages

Let’s put the was in ECOWAS

Cannibalism under extreme scarcity has been a worldwide phenomenon since the dawn of time. Graeber has a chapter on it in debt. Some cultures even had systems where people, usually elderly or disabled people would volunteer themselves. It’s pretty depressing but it also shows the sacrifice that people are willing to make to keep their community alive, and would never happen in today’s individualised alienated capitalist societies. The alternative is the community dying so from a utilitarian perspective it’s an interesting ethical debate. We of course are now well beyond post scarcity, and in the modern day I’d argue for dying while fighting the rich for resources over genociding the elderly and disabled.

They also display this communal behaviour in Snowpiercer, a communist movie/book/tv, where people would sacrifice their limbs for food to keep others alive and the class struggle going.

The Crimea annexation was much less violent. But I guess that’s because NATO and Ukraine just let it happen instead of sending everyone to the slaughterhouse for huge hog hunter
