Was there an alternative? No. Why not.. Guess who stopped it?
This liberal stand of calling people lazy or weak to not resist things that kills them self or the environment is a argument what puts the blame on the people instead of the one making sure everything stays in there interest.
And yeah 'democracy' the term the US used to invade countless of countries in the name of freedom, peace and democracy. What were the wars really about the last 20 to maybe 50 years? About private interest of oil.
The US democracy is nothing more then big industries calling the shots. Spreading so much propaganda people don't know what to believe any more.
50 years ago presidents were already shouting that they were going to cut back on fossil fuels. What happend there?
If the US really was a democracy you would have had free healthcare by now. It's nothing more then a smoke screen.
And by now with the help of social media propaganda has become more of a psychological weapon. They know exactly what triggers specific individuals and how to steer them.
If we keep trying to fool our self with this believe that people should just be come magically immune to propaganda and advertisement we are pretty domed.
Wow looks really nice.
Was looking for something like it or maybe build it my self but then with the matrix protocol and profiles.
But still need to dig in to it, don't know if it would be possible with matrix.
It depends on what you value and what your drives are. But to give you a bit more tangible advice. When you are asking your self "Is it time to leave?" a couple of days in a row, it's probably time to leave. And don't fear leaving, the amount of growth and experience it brings you is mostly already worth it.
Thanks for all the nice resources and good question.
I think a good place to look is also at Elinor Ostrom 8 design principles to deal with the tragedy of the common and David Sloan Wilson's multilevel selection theory [1]. They call is polycentric governance but it has a lot of related ideas.

Elinor Ostrom come up with the 8 design principles[1] for dealing with the tragedy of the commons for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize. She concludes that top-down regulation doesn't work because of complexity and laissez-faire because private companies will try to maximize their profits. So she studied common pools and found out that if they missed these 8 principles between groups involved it would lead to depletion or conflicts. This I think is an anarchist solution to the problem only she called it polycentric governance.
I thought I read somewhere in the HN comments that Medium articles are automatically down voted by the algorithm. I rarely see them. But I might be mistaken.
> 1. Do not set a goal that involves conquering the world, saving the world, or attaining personal glory. These goals have internal contradictions that will lead you away from doing good work.
Can you maybe elaborate on this a bit more? Just curious.
I see know one here defining what news is.
“News is all about sensational, exceptional, negative current events – and those five words capture precisely thats wrong with it.” - the Correspondent
News doesn’t teach you much about how the world and things work because it focuses on exceptions.
Here is a good piece about it from the Correspondent who run their news platform on the same thought.
