I've found Facebook marketplace to have a large reach, however I'd like to know if there are any good alternatives outside of Facebook?

To be fair, a country is a political entity or state. I read it as being targeted towards the state, rather than all people living in the USA.

It gets worse than that unfortunately.

Don't worry, once the others graduate school, break their arch install, and don't have the free time to reinstall it, they'll like Ubuntu too. 🙂

This is not mine, and I do not consider myself to be particularly knowledgeable on this topic. Though my understanding is that it's a theory of no rulers/hierarchy with an emphasis on direct democracy rather than something resembling Hobbes's State of Nature. I'll do my best to add to the discussion!

And if I of all people can't consistently behave reasonably, how can I expect it from the rest of you dumbfucks

If you don't expect others to behave reasonably, then that's a good argument for getting rid of hierarchies where other people hold power over you. If power corrupts is a statement you agree with, then we shouldn't be rewarding those who make a career out of seeking power. The difference is without structures of hierarchy, the damage of unreasonable people will never reach that which could be caused by a political or corporate leader with power od thousands or even millions.

Without specific ethical training, most people do not consider the effects of their actions on others, especially among equals

I didn't read this the same way - I think the point is that people can organise to meet their needs between each other directly. I don't believe the claim was that without hierarchy, people will magically be flawless and university good to each other. As a side note, I do believe that people are generally better to each other when their needs are met, which is a current issue with the political structures and concentration of wealth we have today.

I'm curious to hear more informed discussion about the fair points you brought up, and a quick search returned https://lemmy.ml/c/anarchism. Feel free to ask those questions there! In particular, I don't know much about the lawyer part you mentioned.

Lots of balcony veggie gardening, helped a friend set up a rain barrel, guerrilla gardening local wildflowers, and taking more trips by bike. I always enjoy seeing what the rest of you are up to!
