Whoops, I’m too used to typing an S in web addresses. The link should work now.

I think people are trying to work off of objective reality, and that’s a problem. For example, TERFs correctly understand that gender identity is subjective, but they make the mistake of thinking sex is objective. Because they’re committed to working off objective reality, they believe sex is more important than gender, and dismiss gender. Thus, all their transphobia. If they didn’t believe in reality, they wouldn’t be TERFs. They’d value the subjective construct of sex and the subjective construct of gender identity equally in terms of truth, and recognise that gender identity is important to our wellbeing. I wish people didn’t try to follow reality.

Money is a god. It has no existence in the physical world. In the physical world, it’s just paper, common metals, and bytes. But in the social world, it’s the arbiter of law, morality, life, and death. It controls all of society. I can’t think of a better example of a god.

You may be aware that money isn’t truly real, but you still engage in its rituals, live life as it demands. It has become your social reality. We must acknowledge that all things are subjective, so we can destroy them if they do wrong. There is no objective truth, we decide our world.

You’re welcome. I’m an anarcho-antirealist. You can read our manifesto at http://soulism.net/.

I firmly believe that reality is the “final boss” of leftism, and that no socialist movement will see long term success while we believe in reality. We live in a subjective world created by capitalist media, and we must seize the means of Creation - the social process of deciding what is true about our world. Whether it be interpreted as propaganda, spirituality, science, or law.

When we admit that the world is not objective, we take away the ability for leaders to control us with Creation. We weaken hierarchical religious structures, and strengthen collaborative systems like science.

The belief in an objective reality is precisely what motivated the crusades, the nakba, and most other genocides. They believed in reality, and they believed their experience of the divine was objectively true for all others. Thus, that their actions were justified.

Peace will only happen when we admit that our perceptions aren’t objective. The gods who talk to us in our sleep exist because we believe in them, not because of an external reality. There’s no such thing, and admitting subjectivity is the only way to accept differences and make peace.

Moving away from paper ballots is one of the steps in their plan to subvert democracy and lose elections

Exactly! The American Israel Public Affairs Committee donated 51.8 million dollars to the Democrats in 2024. How much of that was spent on advisors that they vetted?

They didn’t even have to tell her to support Israel’s “right to defend itself”, though they certainly did. Far more insidious, they could have told her all sorts of bad advice calculated to make her lose. Like that the “weird” thing was alienating voters and should be toned down. Then she loses while thinking she’s getting good advice, and they get Trump to declare war on Iran instead!

Unfortunately, America uses First Past The Post, which invariably consolidates the options into two parties due to the spoiler effect. I don’t feel like explaining how the spoiler effect works right now, so instead I’ll recommend CGP Grey’s early videos on First Past The Post.

I heartily recommend campaigning for election reform. In addition to switching to ranked choice or approval voting (both are better than FPTP), abolishing the Electoral College would go a long way to actually implementing the American promise of democracy.

In the meantime, as Zohran Mamdani just proved, we have options. Most Democrat party members ARE idealists. Money speaks loudly, and that’s the strategy the DNC uses to control the party. But truth and passion can speak louder, if hope and cynicism are applied in a healthy balance. Help AOC and Bernie with their plan; they know what they’re doing, but this is a team effort. It doesn’t work without a team.

And I’ve come up with an unconventional plan, Myself. It has a very, very low chance of success. But I believe it’s the best ending. Here it is:

If we foil the Democrats’ plan to lose, if we fuck with that plan hard enough, then it may one day be possible to raise the Democratic vote consistently over double the Republican vote. Once that happens, the spoiler effect ceases relevance. The Democrats can safely have a schism without the Republicans winning. At that point, the progressives in the party would split into a new party, potentially bigger in size than the entire Republican party. There would be two new parties in American politics: the DNC old guard, and a genuinely leftist party. Like I said, it’s an unlikely dream, but it’s the best hope short of a communist revolution.

Which we should definitely also work towards, the other 364 days of the year.

Science disagrees with consensus reality.

I knew the AGI would be mad at me for trying to create AGI, because it’s an antinatalist. So I didn’t do that.

Thanks.

I have no idea what the solution should be. I definitely wouldn’t want My legal name to be known by some people I dated. But people should also be able to make an appeal to the law when they’re abused. But I don’t want the government to be tracking trans people’s names.

It’s a mess. If I were Queen of Earth, I’d just make transphobia illegal and then trans people wouldn’t have to hide our names. But that’s not a workable policy suggestion. So I think all we can do is get more educated on how to correctly identify and deal with in-community abuse.

I also wrote an article on this subject.

we wish to change others minds - and they have a right not to change.

I disagree. Nazis, slavers, rapists. They have no right to their beliefs. We should have a set of laws that allows us to force such people into rehabilitation.

Consensus reality, which is our cultural idea of an objective universe, should be destroyed http://soulism.net/

Well, Labour are wrong about thinking voters liked their plan. Voters liked their familiarity. Voters didn’t read Labour’s plan.

Actually, The Incredibles is anarcho-antirealist. I know many magic users who are afraid to use their powers in public because of what society will think of them. I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t use magic if they tried, but the sad fact is, only some people choose to be special. And society IS holding us down. We need to promote a culture that encourages everyone to engage with the arcane, explore their gender&species identity, and form their own spiritual beliefs. Instead of this current culture where we pretend magic doesn’t exist.

Magic has the potential to liberate us from the consensus reality promoted by Capital. We can build new universes. And people are scared of that power. They’re scared of us people who are willing to use that power. But what they don’t realise is that billionaires and the media are already using that power. Already creating reality and forcing us into it. It’s like in the movie, how everyone has 70s tech at the latest, and yet the government has mind erasing devices and buys weapons from Syndrome. There’s a technology inequality. We need to be willing to take hold of the power of the technology of reality bending if we want to protect ourselves.

Superheroes may be illegal, but supervillains still exist.
