Are Lemmy anarchists okay? How does this person have 24 upvotes? In what universe are anarchists NOT doing class analysis, (therefore) don’t want to abolish capitalism, and don’t want to fight archism?

I suspect this is just because libs absolutely DESPISE comrade @Cowbee@hexbear.net and will upvote anything smart-sounding that supposedly addresses whatever is being discussed?

Also, gotta love the whole “I have this opinion and many anarchists will disagree and that’s what anarchism is about”. Like, buddy, you haven’t read one book or talked to one anarchist IRL, let alone organized in your entire life.

    Infrastructure? Good luck trying to maintain anything more advanced than a dirt road.

    Here’s a fun anecdote to that point. My friend lives at the end of a private dirt and sand road/driveway with a gate at the front, there are five or six other houses along the road. It’s difficult to impossible to get a normal car down it when the sand gets dry and deep, and also when it’s wet and muddy. It’s downright frightening to ride a motorcycle with road tires down it even in the best of times. My friend has been trying to get the neighbors to agree to chip in a little bit of money for an improvement, even as simple as gravel. His neighbors are all wealthy, wealthier than him as well. They absolutely will not agree, and some of them do stuff to actively make the road worse. The only resolutions are either he spends the money and puts in the time to do it himself, or he does some legal bullshit to try to force the county to take the road (and remove the access gate) so they will maintain it.

        The net result is I get the thumbs up to throw rooster tails and get nice with it when I ride up and down his street because if they like the road shitty that’s how shitty roads get used

          Lmao going full hog wild and just stomping the pedal is definitely the funnest solution to the issue no doubt. It’s like you almost get to go mudding but within the comfort of your friend’s neighborhood. Only downside is that if it freezes during winter wherever this is at, those ridges and ruts are gonna be absolute hell on your vehicle.

            My favorite version of this is hooning my v-twin motorcycle with my ass hanging off the back making a lot of noise bouncing off the limiter

            THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED skeleton-motorcycle
