anarchism does not have to mean absence of law

Public transport is cheaper too when cities are not sprawling. We are talking about the benefits new dense development, where public transport should be a core consideration and not an afterthought.

I think not having sprawling cities means you can have nature nearby a lot moreso than in endless suburbia though. Unless you count lawns as nature.

Hexbear is also filled with authoritarians which isn't very funny but still offensive

Not to discount it as a problem.. but a lot of Eastern Europe has this issue. Hell, not even just Eastern Europe. Fascist parties exist in most places, Ukraine does not really stand out in this aspect.

As a leftist, we don't claim these people. Their views are left-coded but inherently antithetical to leftist values. Marxism-Leninism is an attempt (and quite a successful one) to appease revolutionary sentiment by embracing the aesthetics of the left but wrapping it in an authoritarian state. It's similar to how the nazis called themselves socialists to leech off the socialist sentiment in Germany at the time. These dopes like leftist aesthetics but completely miss the mark on any leftist policy.

That's a bit disingenuine. If your only stance is "USA bad" you would side with the Axis in WWII, the motivation for the USA joining the Allies is irrelevant in that outcome. Sadly you have to actually think about geopolitics sometimes because they're really fucking complicated. You'll find that almost all nations are straight up bad and that the big distinguishing factor about the USA is not how bad it is, but about how much bad it's able to project globally as a hegemon.

It can barely run on a gtx1070 man what kind of black magic do you expect a hacker to cast to make it run on a Switch

You aren't paying creators, you are paying executives and middlemen.

Happily, not really. I pay for YouTube Premium, but I don't like the monopoly they have and disagree with a lot of their decisions. I'd rather have a different economic system.

But yeah, I'd be willing to pay for the subscription in that case, even if I end up pirating most everything to get a better service.

When you save an odt from Word and open it in OpenOffice, the formatting is usually all fucked. At least that used to be the case. A pdf comes out right on the other side.
