So, appeasement spiced with a paper tiger’s threat? This “proposal” is insulting.

Of course, you do. Accountability would be unthinkable.

As an elder millennial (1983), I too ignore Gen X. Especially after being shown the way they vote in U.S. elections.

You said there hadn’t been any protests in 50 years, Debbie Downer.

This one happened.

A little internet sleuthing will show lots more in your 5 decades of supposedly nothing.

The irony of you making that claim while one of the largest protests in history happened today…

Naturally, I could look it up, but what is Azure Linux?

Is it a fork of RHEL? Cloud Linux? FreeBSD?

Edit: Here it is.

In a similar approach to Fedora CoreOS, Azure Linux only has the basic packages needed to support and run containers. Common Linux tools are used to add packages and manage security updates. Updates are offered either as RPM packages or as complete disk images that can be deployed as needed. Using RPM allows adding custom packages to a base Azure Linux image to support additional features and services as needed. Notable features include an iptables-based firewall, support for signed updates, and a hardened kernel.

We learn about the past to understand the present.

I talk about participation in another comment, coincidentally.

The “political class” of an anarchical state as I’ve described would be rotationary.

We in the United States have “Jury Duty”, where the average citizen is required by law to be selected to be part of a “jury of peers” on legal cases if the defendant exercises their right to a trial by jury.

Jurors can be struck down (relieved of their duty) for many reasons in the jury selection phase by attorneys, the judge, or submitting documentation on why they can’t perform their duty.

A corollary compulsory service or duty could be applied to the positions in the three branches of government we have in our current constitutional structure.

We would effectively shift from being a constitutional federal republic (on paper; in practice, the current form of government is a plutocracy) to a constitutional aleatory republic. We would have representative governance, but they’d be subject to review, competency approval, and votes of confidence.

One could also imagine ranked-choice voting and mandatory direct referendums regarding crucial policy decisions. Lobbyists must present their legal proposals to jurist-representatives and the general public, mitigating the efficacy of monetary influence in political speech and advertising.

Americans have had a long tradition of organizing and resisting. The 40-hour workweek was bought with worker’s blood. The apathy of the American body politic is a relatively new attribute, historically. My opinion is that it metastasized in 1971.

Taking the definition at its etymological root, all anarchy means is “without rule”.

In my head-canon, that doesn’t necessarily mean the lack of laws, state, institutions or governance; the implication is that there are no citizens or individuals with permanently elevated authority in the polity of government. Without rulers.

Many, of course, disagree with this mostly on the basis of practicality, but I’d like to think it’s another way to describe the concept of “No gods, no kings, no masters, no slaves.”

Very true, but I submit that the wisdom of “clean as you cook” is obvious on day 2.

On the contrary, I think it would be the best place for it.

I know, and I thought I’d join in with “But now that you mention it…”

Ah, I meant actual “greatest of all time” of music, of which I hope the figure skater doesn’t really believe that about Taylor Swift.

But now that you mention it…

It’s really just an amortization or, perhaps, an atomization of effort; sadly many don’t really value the benefits of that behavior.

I wonder if she really believes Swift is the actual “GOAT” of music. I imagine (and hope) no, probably.

Edit: Ah, my first downvoted comment. I feel strangely content that it happened over a musical opinion.

Lukewarm take: if you don’t make some effort to clean up to have less of a mess while you cook, you’re not competent enough to be in the kitchen.

~Just my opinion; don’t burn me at the stake.~
