Based guy, my compliments should he not engage in bollocking members of differing opinion.No, I was being cheeky lol.
Still, impressive for an Era related Discord, given the reputation of the community. Ultimately the general consensus we'd reached was that a lot of those ideas seem nice but I kept bringing home the point that human beings are too flawed and don't all just magically get along and maintain productivity like that. It's against our nature. They even admitted that in a lot of their social circles where they'd attempted whatever sorta commune stuffz that there was always someone who was a dickhead and took advantage of the situation, etc. I was also able to admit that I'm too self-centered and misanthropic to ever be on board with something like that, and I'm not alone in that belief.
The individual I discussed with noted that they had an entire bookshelf full of leftist political literature, and that if they were ever to be 100% earnest about their views, they'd likely be permed from Era. I found that interesting, so I started the discussion from there. Very well-read individual, tbh. I appreciated their input. Not just the typical person who claims to be down with that ideology because it's become fashionable, like a few people I know IRL have.
Makes me think, all I do in here is targeted at a probably small group of people I'd judge to be of weak character and possibly mental constitution and as mentioned here several times, a very small group at that.
Good on ya for engaging.
