I came in interest after y’all got bounced from reddit. My goals are to destroy the concept of private property in the concrete and in the abstract to the greatest extent practicable, and encourage systems thinking as an aid to understanding the liberal mind so that we all can pith it more effectively and have some chance of an ideology not neoliberalism surviving the next 20 years.

The logic is remarkably similar. Thanks for proving Graeber’s point.

Taboos are like private property but for truth. Your expectations seem to go beyond conviviality and comradeship when people should accept your schema as exempt from critical interrogation. In effect, you are making private property claims in other people’s heads.

(I upbeared this whole strand of the thread after someone submerged it)

Caring about taboos is a material condition?

Well, yeah, that’s exactly the liberal salvation narrative.
