A common thing that comes up a lot when I see people saying there is no way anarchism could work, is that it's human nature to be selfish and to attempt to gain power over others etc. I think people are just as likely to be benevolent or at least neutral to each other when the conditions are right.

People saying it can't work might be thinking of present social and economic conditions and suddenly removing our political system with one based on anarchism, or simply removing all the hierarchies in society instantly. A real 'anarchist revolution' would likely require education and cultural shift over time, with the building of alternative structures to meet needs locally, separate from political and economic forces in place right now.

The anarchism subreddit has a pretty good introduction on anarchism in my view https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/wiki/primer. The Anarchist Library has a large body of text from many authors regarding related topics as well.

People that really enjoy being unemployed might have only had jobs that didn't feel fulfilling or were degrading, annoying or whatever. I used to feel great without work, between jobs because I worked shitty places. Now I have a job doing more useful work with a better environment and it feels nice to be there.

I agree with the depression also, it's easy for me to procrastinate and be unproductive and live more slovenly, but when I am working more it does force me into a bit better of a routine.

Something like 75 percent of all jobs in the US aren't able to be done remotely, according to a study by researchers at UW.

And now the people who did agree to evacuate are beginning to return to the north because the south is being bombed as well.

They are mowing them down en masse though. The reason more haven't been killed is because they have shelters and tunnels to protect from the strikes. They have leveled whole villages, apartment towers holding hundreds of people, and struck routes specifically designated by the IDF as safe avenues for people to escape. The number killed is likely much higher than the reports we have seen, like after an earthquake or other disasters there are hundreds of people labeled 'missing' until they are more certain they are deceased.

It's kind of baffling how we accept this as pretty much the standard for major releases these days. Why would we be okay buying anything else like this? If I bought a pair of shoes and they had issues that made them unwearable until I got them repaired I would be irritated as fuck, and obviously this would be unacceptable for a store to sell them like that.

No bikes??? I hadn't heard that, one of the most satisfying things about playing C:S1 to me was making great bike routes and useful public transit, without bikes I really don't feel a drive to play this one now honestly hah. Maybe they are going the Sims route where all the useful basic things they added in the previous edition will be released over time as DLC, ffs.

But they deliberately are killing innocent people, no nation claims to have the right to do that. The Israeli military is capable of precise strikes correct? So why did they strike the route they designated as a safe evac for people in Gaza? They killed over 70 people in a single airstrike on a road that Israeli forces designated as a safe route. Even if Hamas needs to be destroyed, why is it okay to destroy an apartment block killing hundreds of people? Israel taps the phones of all Palestinians, they monitor all roads, they control all borders aside from Egypt's, how is the only way to defeat Hamas by mass slaughter?

My mom is dead, but she would be very proud of me attempting to defend the dignity of innocent murdered children and trying to prevent more of them from being murdered. So if I were to say they are terrorists and I do support them, what would you say? I am happy to defend the rights of Palestinian people against hatred spread by you. My mom supported Palestine.

Whatever you say buddy, if genocide is restraint then Israel is a fucking saint.

Your video shows Gaza with lights at night, but when this bombing occurred there was no power around the hospital. IDF has now stated that they told the hospital to evacuate.
