how did I overlook this answer. Really interesting. I never thought there are Anarchos who would agree to UBI, because it seems like a communist "we share all wealth"-idea, which it is not. It is about eliminating the existential threat.
I actually heavily disagree on your view of violence. I loved it to fight for fun as a kid and I still remember how mad I was at my father for not wanting to fight me anymore. We called it "toben".
I think in our society authorities are just too "omni" and predetermined. If I see someone who is an intelligent and well educated on a topic. I can accept his authority or "domination" on that topic. 12 teachers with different opinions and values trying to teach you how to live your social live is just a really bad concept.
I still like to fight for fun with my friends from time to time. I never severly injured someone in my adult life and that is partly due to me knowing my power from all the fun little skirmished I had with friends.
Do you know the "Bauchbums" from Darkwing Duck? I tried that one out two months ago. So funny that such a cartoon technique actually works :D
Violence should be embraced and channeled, like every other instinct, not suppressed. If you suppress the strive for violence in you, you will compensate it uncontrolled. Mobbing, shouting at kids, shouting/Ad hominem in discussions, hate speech are all symptoms of suppressed violence, in my opinion.
I think we use the word violence in a different way. :) When I say violence I don't mean that I'm against fighting for sports or for play. I did so myself when I was a kid and I thought it was a lot of fun. As an adult I did some martial arts and some fencing and it was also a lot of fun. What I'm against is punishment for children. Spanking, yelling, conditional parenting and love withdrawl are damaging for children and they contribute to them becoming overtly violent themselve when they are older. If we want to get rid of, at least most, crime we have to raise children in a non-violent way. :)
I actually think a little spanking is much less hurtful than the psychic pain of having your parents yell at you until you cry. People always associate getting your belt of and beating thick hermatomes into your child and I dont have children, yet, but if they are to be in the "Trotzphase", I will rather exert my physical dominance than using some weird psychotricks on them, like leaving them alone. I also wont just slap them out of personal anger, that is something that happens if you don't have a ritual... Jesus, this sounds really strange written out, I hope you understand where I am coming from.
The violence in speech is one of the biggest issues in politics today. Both sides (left and right) are guilty of that, however I feel like the right often acknowledges being emotional, while the left claimes "we have scientifical proof of you being evil" and this the worst it can get imo.
I am still a lefty, but my left community is driving me crazy atm :D
I think I will write a post about this topic on my blog where we can discuss it in our mother tongue because I'm not sure that I'm comfortable discussing it in English. :)
note me when you post ;)
