Well it depends. Technically speaking, it’s around twice as fast as standard speed on highway (at least in France, so 130kmh). In terms of feelings, it’s probably not that faster? I never went above 140 or so but from my experience, your brain adapts to the speed, so if you got to 300 not that suddenly it probably does not feel like twice as fast than the usual. In terms of safety, it may be more than twice the danger. I’m no expert, but depending on the vehicle and how many other vehicles there are on the highway, it could be very dangerous.

I think you’re kinda right in the broad sense, if we strictly speak of stateless society. But if we include progressive/leftists ideals and communities meant to help those in need, it will kinda separate people who are tempted by violence in two : those who want an easy way to get comfortable living, and those who want an endless accumulation of power/wealth. If you propose a society where people unable or unwilling to work can be taken care of, there is no interest for the first kind of violent people to be violent, and you’re only left with those that want what only violence can provide, which is the kind of need/desire we need to fight against in the first place to accomplish a stateless society.

I was a bit confused too, but OPs answer to your comment clarified it quite well.

And after thinking a bit on it, and from my very basic knowledge of lgbt movment, here’s what i think they advocate for (pls correct me if i say bs) : sex and gender are indeed different, they aee not necessarily connected and both are spectrums rather than binary options. This means you could have a lot of options between what sex you are (male/female/intersex), what gender you are (a lot of options) and what gender you were assigned at birth (generally either male or female). Some trans people need their “physical” sex identity to match their gender, other don’t.

The problem in this case seems to me that she advocates for a strict binary conception of sex identity and that she pushed for it to be more important than gender in social situations such as sport. Part of the confusion also comes from the fact that she acknowledges parts of what the lgbt movment fights for but she fights against the rest, which happens frequently in TERF rethorics afaik

Thank you for the summary, I got in a discussion on the same point some time ago, it seems that people who grew up in the USA culture associate libertarian and right wing in a very deep way.

Id just like to add that in french nowadays, we have two words for libertarian : Libertaire for the left-wing anarchist meaning, and Libertarien for the USA right-wing version. Libertaire is still widely used by anarchists here, so there’s no reason it could not be the case in USA, though it will be a pretty tough challenge.

I agree with you on most points, thanks for your analysis/opinion!

How do you feel about anarchism and/or libertarian communism? (just trying to see how much you think that way because of a sympathy for capital or because of a rejection of the state)
