    When someone is a threat to the people around him and society, that person is taken into custody.

    If there are issues pointing to mental illness or the person is denying the abnormality of its actions, the person is subjected to forced mental treatment.

    Why don't the rules of a normal civilised society apply to politicians and head of states?

  3. Well, this is interesting.

    In my book I promote minimalism as one of the strategies to tackle overconsumption, but I strongly object to the concept of “lifestyle”.

    In the Conversation article mentioned below we see that minimalism as a >>lifestyle<< is not very successful in tackling over-consumption.

    Actually, that is the point, I promote to change your >>way of living<<, but NOT to adopt another "lifestyle" with all consequential consumption patterns.

    The article, with references to research about "Possession, feelings of ownership and the endowment effect" and "Loss aversion in a consumption–savings model"

    and this is the link to my book, which is downloadable for free:

  4. CrashCourse: *A World Without Governments? #Anarchism Explained*

    youtube.com/watch?v=P-Ibq-9wul

    I must admit (as an anarchist) that this is pretty good. Remember that #CrashCourse is part of #PBS, the US public broadcaster. Therefore I'm worried about their future under the Trump-regime.

    But yes I have some criticism and that's about their attempt to have some criticism. At the end they give some bad examples of anarchism, as part of the criticism that because of a lack of central control, everyone against the government can call themselves anarchist. Yes of course everyone can, but that doesn't mean that they are.

    Let me explain. Anarchism is not only about anti-government or anti-state. Anarchism is about no authority, therefore no hierarchies and against authoritarianism. As a result anarchists are against every form of #oppression, including economic oppression like #capitalism, gender oppression like #sexism and the #patriarchy, #racism, #fascism, #LGBTIQIA-hate, oppression against #nature and #animals (#ecocide), and yes also against nation #states (and their oppressing tools like the #police, the #military and #nationalism) and of course their governments.

    Some call this #intersectional, some call it total liberation/struggle. Our tools are mutual aid, direct action and #prefiguration.

    If you're not familiar: Crash Course is a YouTube channel that publishes educational content that is used by ... a very large number of students. It is not funded exclusively by donation, but a very large portion of its funding comes from fund drives like this one (this, I believe, is the largest one.)

    You can, of course, also just donate anytime. But right now, for the next little while, you can get a cool little doodad for doing so. These coins are also made by Shire Post, which if you haven't heard of it, is a very cool source for the very nerdiest trinkets out there.
