A group of people from 2024 come across a time machine and decide to visit, and take, several influential, but not famous, people from different time periods and locations and got them to work together to make a society similar to the one proposed by Murray Bookchin, with 21st/22nd century technology and knowledge, but in a time before human civilization, located in what is now Western Cape, South Africa.

I can't argue with the results which is that the Chinese system has prevailed against liberal democracies in terms of might and progress.


Why do you keep trying to make Nazism work? They tried it, millions of people died, they lost, and Hitler's inner circle became the original suicide squad. The end.

Cannot think of a name wrote:Well, here's the rub and something that the skinny jean crowd tend not to understand. It's not an either/or proposition.

The founding fathers were not remarkable because they were beings of pure light and intent that descended upon the colonies to Tinkerbell a perfect union into place. They were a bunch of lawyers and land owners and slave owners who had points of view that either didn't age well or were shitty no matter what the age. These waddling examples of imperfection whose lives and beliefs can be critiqued did form a sustainable framework for a self governed country at a time that such a thing wasn't common and put in the one caveat that has made all the difference: The idea that they might have fucked up. That whatever it is they think solved all the problems, it hasn't. People will change and the country will need to be able to change with it. They created an ideal that they never lived up to and the country they created never lived up to, but-often kicking and screaming-the country has been dragged closer and closer to that ideal. The framers didn't free the slaves. They didn't enfranchise poor laborers. They didn't give women the vote. But they created a mechanism for the country to do so, and in a way created a system that would force itself to do that.

It's not that great men did good things. It's regular ass shitty men created a system that could be better than those who created it. All you have to do is engage with it. That's why the status quo loves hipsters. Go ahead, get disenfranchised by the lives of people from 250 years ago. Squint your eyes enough that you can't tell the difference between political parties. Talk about the insurmountable power of industrial complexes. Take your hands off the wheel and let the devil drive. You get to pretend that you're not the sucker in this scenario.

Here on NSG, Sanghyeok posted "To remain a child forever?" at 3am BST today:
Sanghyeok wrote:Please consider the below scenario:

Imagine one day you are walking along on your way home, as an ordinary underpaid and overworked 25 year old with no career prospects, when you see a poor grey coloured cat with red eyes being chased by a pack of dogs. You save the poor cat from the dogs, and to your surprise it starts speaking.

"Thank you for saving me!" it says, and you gasp. Then, it tells you something else: "I used to be able to grant wishes using magical powers. However, now I can only make one of them happen: the wish to remain a child forever."

Curious, you ask the cat (whose name is Nozomi, by the way) what this means.

"Well, every time you become 18, your life will be reset, and you go back to the day you were born! You will have no memories of that time, and be able to live endless childhoods. How does it sound?"

You consider for a moment, and Nozomi creates two magic wands with his powers.

"The pink wand will allow you to enter that cycle, while the azur wand will let you remain a normal human with a normal life."

You reach out, ready to take one of them into your hands. But which one will you choose?


I choose the pink wand. I don't miss my childhood too much, but I don't want to lose my innocence and naivety.


Not to be outdone, Nevertopia posted "To accept a cursed wish?" at 3:45pm BST today, or about 13 hours later:

Curious, you ask the cat (whose name is Y'shtola, by the way) what this means.

"Well, once I grant you this wish you will play the lottery and win $200,000. Unfortunately you grow permanent, fully functioning taste-buds in your butthole that cannot be removed or be subverted in any way. How does it sound?"

You consider for a moment, and Y'shtola creates two magic wands with his powers.

"The pink wand will allow you to win $200,000, while the brown wand will let you remain a normal human with a normal butthole."

The wands throb with power.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
