Boiiiiiiiii if you don ' t <| sep |> yeah , trading other people for dexs takes age , please wait a moment <| sep |> Thanks . Didn ' t think BioWare would care about southern countries . <| sep |> Fossil fuels heats my home , powers the combine that brings me food , allows me to get to work every day , and allows me to access the internet . wrong , energy does all that . the way we acquire that energy shapes our environment , for better or worse . also it ' s not only about carbon , but about the cumulative associated practices with this energy generation process that have a real impact . <| sep |> I don ' t even remotely give a shit about this . <| sep |> What I said recently about consensus was in the context of Bookchin ' s support of majority ruleRather than engage with the complicated question of how decisions are to be made in a nongovernmental society , simply presented the alternative to majority rule as to make decisions by consensus . Even the framing of the question suggests a rather shallow approach to the concerns that drive anarchists . We find people assuming that governmentalist practices like majority rule must be okay because sometimes hard decisions must be made . But it is as mistaken to assume that circumstances will always give us some means of practicing anarchist values in any full senses as it is to reject anarchist values because sometimes they won ' t apply . Every system of social organization experiences some level of failure . What perhaps distinguishes anarchism is that it doesn ' t leave room for excuses . In practice , anarchists will naturally do their best to avoid , when possible , making the kinds of decisions that violate their principles . We have no principle by which we can impose the decision of a majority and we should experience every sort of imposition as a failure to be improved upon and rectified if possible . If we are not completely inept at restructuring our relations , that will gradually become easier . But being an anarchist and striving for really anarchic relations means living with some degree of consciousness of failure . It ought to keep us honest and a bit humble .
