the American public has reached a stage of (de)evolution to the point
where some folks see "guns" somehow as "liberatory" and not see that
their society (and government) has amassed the largest military in
history aided and abetted by the armaments and security complexes
(including said gun manufacturers), once again illustrates the
contradictions of (communicative) capitalism. <br></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Tunga,Sans-Serif"><br></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Tunga,Sans-Serif">"Muskets
vs. Military Style Assault Rifles" or "Guns vs. Butter" are questions
of and about governance, governmentality, public policy and yes, too, at
times "market failure" (whether on questions of Pandemic, Climate
Change or Digital Divides). Such are the myriad ways in which public
choices are also about governance, governmentality and the demos. To
suggest that anarchy is only about non-governance strikes me as a type
of magical thinking particularly in a global system of nation-states,
firms, communities that have elected or appointed governmentalities and
modes / models of governance. A co-operative, credit union, school
board or voluntary fire fighters team all have employed modes of
governance, just as larger geographic entities have. All can
potentially be corrupt or corrupted, but to somehow imagine that the
baby should be thrown out in the name of 'anarchy' seems to be a
problematic reading from the political right or libertarian techies. <br></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Tunga,Sans-Serif"><br></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Tunga,Sans-Serif">Kind Regards,</font></div><div><font face="Tunga,Sans-Serif"><font size="4">~david</font><br> </font></div><div> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;margin:0px"> <hr> <font face="Symbol,'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Sans-Serif"><b>David Sadoway </b> PhD MRM BES(Hons)<br> Faculty & Instructor. <i>Geography & The Environment. </i><br> </font></div> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="margin:0px"><font face="Symbol,'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Sans-Serif">Kwantlen Polytechnic University.</font></div> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="margin:0px"><font size="2" face="Symbol,'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Sans-Serif"><a href="https://www.kpu.ca/arts/geography/faculty/david-sadoway" target="_blank">https://www.kpu.ca/arts/geography/faculty/david-sadoway </a></font></div> <font face="Symbol,'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Sans-Serif"><font size="2"><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/David_Sadoway" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/profile/David_Sadoway</a> </font></font> <span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Avenir Book"" lang="EN-US"> <span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Avenir Book"" lang="EN-US"><span></span></span></span> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;margin:0px"> <font size="1"><i>KPU is located on the </i><i>unceded lands & waters of the Kwantlen, Katzie, Musqueum, Tsawwassen, Semihamoo, Qayqayt, Sto:Lo and Kwikwetlen Peoples. <br></i></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 9 Nov 2020 at 21:32, grarpamp <<a href="mailto:grarpamp@gmail.com">grarpamp@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">> <a href="http://dgsociety.org/dgo-2021/call-for-proposals/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dgsociety.org/dgo-2021/call-for-proposals/</a><br>

<br>
All such in all symposiums on same on this so called "liberation"<br>
list in recent years have all been, disgustingly, about how to keep<br>
building further structures of enslavement over other harmless humans<br>
who've done nothing to you, through forcing yourself and your will over<br>
them, ultimately under threat of death. You are guilty.<br>
<br>
<br>
So for remainder of this month, instead of titillating yourselves<br>
over yet another such boring and wrong conference...<br>
go search, read, and watch...<br>
<br>
Voluntaryism, Libertarian, peace love and Anarchism,<br>
Taxation is Theft, War is Murder, Austrian Economics / Free Markets,<br>
Bitcoin documentaries, Anarcho Capitalism, Non Aggression Principle,<br>
Natural Law, etc... and yes, even...<br>
> crypto-anarchism<br>
<br>
Anything but yet more forcing yourself over others via non<br>
"liberatory ideas" scam of "democracy" and digital govern[ment|nance].<br>
<br>
Then come back and talk about what actions of ungovernance<br>
need done towards reaching living in an actual state of liberation.<br>
<br>
Because what's being talked 100:1 on this list has<br>
absolutely not been actual liberation, nor even tech,<br>
but more politically entrenched systems of GovCorp<br>
power and control.<br>
<br>
That's very bad.<br>
For you.<br>
And your children.<br>
And you know it.<br>
