Maybe I’ll just keep sharing quotes from this excellent book in this thread. See OP for context.
“Each person with surplus was asked to turn it over to his bishop to be divided among the needy. Vigorous preaching and strong moral suasion were applied to insure the success of this voluntary share-the-surplus program.”

In reading the Great Basin Kingdom: An Economic History of the Latter-day Saints I can’t help but note the stark contrast between the early church and the attitudes of most American church members today. Collectivism and cooperation were what allowed the church to thrive in the Great Basin and many of these concepts are enshrined as cannon in the Doctrine & Covenants.
Wise environmental stewardship was also an important consideration.
“Regulations were adopted with respect to the conservation of wood and timber: No person was allowed to build with logs without permission; no person was entitled to cut more than he could use quickly; and only dead timber could be used as fuel.”

The polycrisis we're living through can be chalked up to the simple fact that TESCREALists have never been able to understand the Human Instrumentality Project.

From a social science perspective, the key error of nationalism and racism is to prioritise one people's history over another's. Each individual and each society evolved within its own context, and all historical contexts are equally valid, understandable, and worthy of respect.

If we can get away with vile hostility toward a people, who inevitably share *at least* 99% of our genetic material, then why should we *not* condone murdering black and indigenous peoples, or for that matter any other arbitrarily defined ethnic group?

@[email protected] Some of the same impulses that were captured by the socialist movement more than 100 years ago, are indeed today being captured by cryptocurrency and other decentralised cypherpunk projects.
However, the baseline of collectivist impulses in society has also radically decreased with all this time, resulting in a very different moral basis being applied for validating the goals of such projects. 🤔

#RenéeGood is dead. An #ICE agent shot her three times through her car window in #Minneapolis. Video shows the agent had time to step away—instead he drew his weapon and fired. This wasn’t self-defense. It was execution.
Philosopher Harry Binswanger traces the philosophical chain: https://hbletter.com/trumps-gestapo-is-now-murdering-protestors/
ICE exists because we philosophically and politically destroyed the concept of #IndividualRights.#Bentham called #rights “nonsense upon stilts” 20 years after #Kant. That became settled doctrine. Without a defensible theory of rights grounded in reality, we got the #Progressive movement’s #collectivism, then the xenophobia that built ICE, and now we have federal agents executing protesters in the street.
ICE has no legitimate function—it exists to grab and deport people, operating with arbitrary force. "The nature of an action follows from the nature of the entity that acts.” ICE's nature is thuggery wrapped in the language of #LawEnforcement.
But there’s also a commercial-political chain that made this possible: government agencies contract with private #surveillance companies to bypass #FourthAmendment protections. What the government can’t collect directly, it purchases from #DataBrokers and information services.
The technical infrastructure—databases, APIs, real-time intelligence platforms—gets built by engineers who think they're just solving technical problems. That infrastructure feeds into operations that put agents on Minneapolis streets with intelligence they couldn’t legally gather themselves.
This didn't have to happen.
Rights theory didn't have to lose to #utilitarianism and Kantian duty. We didn’t have to allow commercial surveillance to become a Fourth Amendment bypass. But we did, and now 37-year-old Renée Good is dead because an agent felt empowered to approach her car, try her door handle, and shoot when she tried to leave.
The horror isn’t just that Renée Good died. It’s that her death was philosophically, politically, and technically inevitable once we abandoned individual rights and built the infrastructure to enforce #collectivist #immigration policy at scale.

I admit, I have no control over what goes on in the world, and frankly, I could not care less, but when locals impute the vices of a few individuals to an entire people, that is concerning. It denies one's agency over the self and the self only, condemns one for crimes on a scale no human alone can possibly perpetrate, and worst of all, turns humanity against itself. Once a people have been dealt with, a precedent will have been set, and *you* will be next.

Hype for the Future 18A: Supporting the novaTop Itinerary Plans
novaTopFlex aspires to create a sense of community while also providing for increased flexibility in the community and resisting objectification and other forms of commodification. At the same time, however, ending capitalism requires capitalism in order to succeed, as ending money requires money and ending wage dependency requires wage dependency to exist. The unfortunate reality of car dependency is that the system is a crisis and that suburbia is an inherent evil to the greater […] -

The Utopian Community of novaTopFlex, geoTopFlex, and futoTopFlex
The novaTopFlex Community is intended to appear as a utopian community, with frameworks and patchworks that enable equal chances and development for progress beyond rigid social roles and constructs. While novaTopFlex believes that social roles are outdated social constructs, the activity of the novaTop Community strives to exceed moral and ethical standards from general society while also enabling additional leeway for nontraditional identities and expressions as necessary. The novaTop […] -
Why can't the argument be:
- Less about #individualism versus #collectivism, and
- More about seeing both as part of a spectrum, whereWe understand that either can be toxic and destructive when taken to an extreme, weaponised to benefit a few.
To explore that the answer may not be any rigid one position, anywhere on the spectrum (or plane involving other points), thus to study both (or all) positions instructively to help find a balance that flows between the two?

With the recent #tariffs news, it’s a good time to revisit Harry Binswanger’s 2024 essay, “’Buy American’ Is Un-American”: https://newideal.aynrand.org/buy-american-is-un-american/
Originally delivered as a speech in 1987, it highlights just how long this flawed concept has persisted.
Economic #nationalism goes against America’s fundamental values of #individualism, #FreeTrade, and rational self-interest. Choosing products based solely on their country-of-origin fosters #collectivism and #xenophobia, not true #patriotism.

Bury your heads in the sand no more, or at the very least stop pretending liberals are #leftwing. Here's a hint: #liberalism is RIGHT FROM #CENTER.

Multi generational housing coming back in the US. This is a good thing. This is good for the physical and mental health of families. Toxic families can be an issue, that is something you have to adjust yourself in. It can be hard for some, but it is possible. For example, latin american, south asian, and east asian countries have adults that live with their parents.

S01E01. First Contact
Before the Future Came is a podcast that looks at the ideals of Star Trek as we voyage from one episode or film to the next, following a breadcrumb trail of motifs. How is the universe portrayed in Star Trek a truly egalitarian utopia, and how does the world subtly uphold the hegemonic values of our present day?

Over time, the language used to describe disability has generally become more positive and inclusive. Many activists advocate for the use of “people/persons with disabilities” and not the “handicapped” or “disabled”. But this language remains negative for many Indigenous people around the world. To them the word “disability” is stigmatising because they don’t have such a term in their vocabulary. It’s also a misrepresentation of their traditional beliefs regarding impairments.
