If diversity and autonomy is an indication of freedom.

It really depends on what you mean by freedom. Usually we are paying taxes or homage or deference to someone, in some way. In America we were told we were free but people are unfortunately coming to realize that we are mostly free to pay to buy things and free to work non stop and free to pay to sleep anywhere.

The unfortunate thing is that there isn't really an option to opt out of this program as we and others like us have gone to most all regions and included them in this system in one way or another. No one is really left alone to go about their own business.

Afghanistan was my favorite multiplayer level in modern warfare 2. Good times when that map was on rotation all the time.

Netizenship is close to what I have read in sci fi books and you can see that it is more viable than one might think. The concept of identity ownership is very interesting in the present day. Does the United States own your identity, or do you? Why would they own it? What does ownership mean?

It's possible to make things better. We don't have a problem of limited resources we have a problem of unlimited greed. It seems whenever someone piles up wealth for themselves, they can think of many reasons why they deserve it why they earned it why someone else isn't worthy of it and why they shouldn't share it.

I mean you would think a billionaire would give 100 dollar tips to every single individual working in every single restaurant he or she ever goes to, just for fun.

But theres a hundred made up reasons why these guys decide not to do that, even though a random 100 dollar for a lot of restaurant workers can be a game changer or at least make their month or week totally gravy.

Why don't you give out 100 dollar tips? I'm sure you could, why don't you? Only billionaires can? Being envious of the rich isn't the same as caring about the poor fyi. Almost everyone who advocates for redistribution is just jealous of rich people and covets their wealth. It's unhealthy. It's always: "Other people, who are not me, should be forced to help the poor. Can you believe how virtuous I am guys??"

Paladins yeah, but halfling paladins worshipping Bristlebane, because if you take the Pharisee / Taliban approach you define "good" as simply adherance to a rulebook someone made, where unfortunately "good" is not so much about making sure you follow a set of rules but demonstrate and practice care for others, since we are all given different gifts and their purpose is not to be squandered by hoarding good for ourselves.

But ya pallies.

Don't tell anyone I'm going to play a paladin on red 2.0

[starkind]

ya my post was entirely in jest and i don't want to slam rich ppl or the power elites with this one, i just think its rather silly how ppl complain and how ppl are prideful simultanously about freedom and stuff the lack there of or how great it is

tbqh i struggle deeply with class/race choice and i find every time i roll a shadowknight or rogue or warrior i just want to play a healer and when i'm a healer i just want to chill and play like a necromancer or wizard and no one is really stopping me from being a lot of those classes, tho i don't have the licence to be a healer, maybe i could be a shaman or monk, or even a pally with LoH but like

i do think we need more pallies, can never have enough

and I do think it's crazy when western ppl make fun of the area I circled without understanding the big picture and without thinking about how big the world really is

the internet is changing us fast

in 1910 most ppl wouldn't have talked to someone from the oppose coast or two states away

in 1700 every town had it's own dialect and way of speaking and the factory was the towns identity

etc...

i was definately being facetious and very flippant with my OP and I do think in some ways that part of the world is more free and culturally diverse, i'm sure the guy running the lithium mines thinks so, but also, that villager has a better opportunity to escape those lithium mines than u say probably to escape walmart or w/e wierd gated community u live in

than again i'm a crazy hermit with psych diagnosese and i really find the rest of the way people live pretty strange, not neccissarily distasteful even tho i larp it, and it's mostly just strange to me and it's easier to bully everyone about what i dont understand hoping someone will enighten me like when we talked about raising kids in that thread that got derailed, i get it, why u weird people do that, even tho i never will and still think its insane
