nope Good. Then you'll stop blaming me for whatever nonsense is going on in your head and leave me alone.

Sorry, yeah, I spout antiblame because I was forced to disrupt communities and turn people against each other, and would be very happy if it turned into a religion because fewer people would die. Hey, um ... would you like me to filter your posts out? You reference my stuff sometimes. What kind of responses are better for you?

Ok, that's something you should stop doing immediately because it's extremely harmful. Your 'antiblame' 'ideology' comes directly from eastern theocracies (buddhism then jew-kkkristianity). And you are a 'christian' right? 'Antiblame' 'ideology' is a tool used by the ruling class(aka govcorp) to stop their victims from...blaming the ruling class. Another facet of it is the laughable idea that 'revenge', actually self-defense, is bad. The christian version goes as far as to tell people to 'turn the other cheek' so that christian govcorp can massacre its vitctims more easily. Tracing crimes back to their authors, that is assigning 'blame' is a very important defense mechanism. notice that professor turd is hysterically promoting 'antiblame' with his insane denial of the existence of govcorp.

are you saying you were(...) a US government agent?
and would be very happy if it turned into a religion because fewer people would die.
it IS already a religion, and you know it, and you should further know that it's one of the reasons why people DIE, not something that contributes to peace.

Seems like a great way to resist forceful blame to me. Obviously antiblame is bad when nobody is blaming anything, and you need to figure out what causes stuff. I don't see that situation here.
Your 'antiblame' 'ideology' comes directly from eastern theocracies (buddhism then jew-kkkristianity). And you are a 'christian' right?
I like jainism, although i worship nature myself, and both my parents were catholic so I have a soft spot there. I wanted to be a monk as a child, they have such cool brown robes. Worshipping nature lets me check the reasons for things myself.

I'm hearing from you that you're not trying to disrupt this list? Anyway, the way to sort out what good ideas are, is to ask your older survivors. They've figured out when to blame if you want to keep on.
Tracing crimes back to their authors, that is assigning 'blame' is a very important defense mechanism.
It's pretty obvious that everything is caused by a myriad of people, most of whom weren't trying to make it happen.

not really. but i'm a double-brainwashed citizen of the usa, so i basically am, no? it's what happens to activists once they're targeted in the usa. they get forced to disrupt activist communities. usually unwittingly, but often they are overtly coerced to do this.

is it? i've been isolated a lot. i see a lot of religions have it some. anyway, to parrot marshall rosenberg, since doing that is easier for me than crying about who i used to be, we need to blame the causes of things so we can work with them, but blaming _people_ is counterproductive and produces conflict. it's like the silliness of imprisoning for stealing if the theft was food for an urgently starving person in an emergency. imprisoning that thief makes the situation _worse_.

how do you worship 'nature'?
Same as anything else. I've had to rebuild some of it in recent years. I see how our minds and bodies arise from the natural world as precious and sacred. When I need guidance, I would ask something wild and ancient, and think on how my situation is similar to what it knows well. I've spent most of my life programming computers.

You don't sound very anarchist here regarding older survivors. I'm assuming that people who became authority-like didn't really survive. So what are you fighting for?

You sound frustrated? Restitution sounds a lot nicer than punishment to me, not sure I've heard the word much before. In USA law we have a defense where crime is okay if there is an emergency reason. It's not used a lot, usually you just hope the cop likes you, and you can get through it in different good or bad ways.

In revenge, the other party is hurt comparable to how you were hurt. In self defense, your hurt is prevented, and the other party is hurt only if it is needed to hurt them, to not yourself be further hurt. So, if 2 parties engage in revenge with each other, you get an escalating war. If 2 parties engage in self defence with each other, you get a safe community. this list are still discussing how amazing crony capitalist musk is. Priceless. It's the same as the electricity farce, the shoe farce, the fridge farce, etc etc. Can you believe everybody is paying to run a 24/7 fluid compressor in their home when you can preserve food effortlessly for free by drying it?

What's your native language? We often use 'label' words that don't reflect reality, in the USA. Where a "crime" is often something that literally breaks a law, instead of something that is immorral or whatnot. Lots of things that help people are crimes, over here.

you mean PR? I don't see the thing you said being true, nor do I see it as making logical sense. Could you say something clearer instead of 'antiblame' at least? I made that word up and now you are using it.

"People are moral agents responsible for their crimes!" I have to remember "crime" means "wrong thing" to you, not "violation of a government law". Explains a lot of our miscommunication.

How would you have things work?
In USA law we have a defense where crime is okay if there is an emergency reason.
That prolly exists in other legal systems too. But it applies to marginal cases. You wouldn't find starving people who would need to steal in a free society.
The starving theft happens in the USA but people don't find out about it, really. There's a lot of blame on thieves, and assumption that it is easy to have your needs met, especially if you work hard. Doesn't it happen in every society except maybe for socialist ones? The emergency excuse is called 'necessity defense' I think.
