@CryptoBlok Me neither. But I do like left-rothbardians emphasis on self-employment.

@okabe_rintarou I try to avoid using my phone as much as possible. I already have a second phone, but I use it for 2FA to login to my university account. It's pretty old and low on memory (most of the space is taken up by the OS itself) so I can't install those two apps. When I do get a new phone, I'll keep my current one just for the two apps.

I'm still leaching off my parents and my Dad has the first and final say in what kind of phones we have. He only trusts Motorola and Samsung. Though given that he's a die-hard Trump supporter, I wonder if he would fall for the Freedom Phone scam. But I don't expect myself being able to get something like a PinePhone anytime soon.

@top Fair enough. I'm the same way.

It's just that there are some people who take the "don't trust the science" to the absolute extreme and pretend they live in some fantasy world where everything is made of four elements and we're flying on a turtle's back. Being skeptical means you question both sides, not doing the exact opposite of what one side says.

@manarock Imagine if she joins some fediblock-happy Mastodon instance.

@okabe_rintarou Is it an obscure brand? I'm pretty sure the most common brands are cracked within a year, depending on the security.

I never de-googled any of my phones because I'm required to use two Google Play dependent apps for my job so I don't know how many phones are able to be de-googled but I think the most common ones are cracked.

You could try asking online to see if there is any progress on trying to get it de-googled and see how long you have to wait.

@okabe_rintarou Yeah. That's kind of an awkward situation. I would just keep it locked in somewhere soundproof and wait until you can install CFW on it.

@CryptoBlok So basically Left-Hoppeanism. I'd probably go with that too.

@vriska Start researching herbal medicine. There is probably a cure for your illness that Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about.

@CryptoBlok I'm aware of that. It's just that an anarcho-distributist society would still just be an anarcho-capitalist society just with distributist ideals.

Distributists tend to support worker co-ops unless the business is a family business and they support heavy regulations to make sure that businesses are as small as possible.

Personally, I'm leaning towards Panarchism. I honestly don't care what political or economic system people choose to live under as long as it is 100% voluntary. This is all compatible with ancap principles and it will make it more appealing to those who would prefer to live under a different economic system.

@CryptoBlok Distributists believe that the family unit is the basic building block of society rather than the individual.

Also anarcho-distributism already exists.

I've gone back and forth on this in my head, but I find myself identifying with some kind of libertarian distributism. To me it seems logical that a free market naturally leads to a situation one could call distributist, as everyone would be free to own at least a bit of property and be more self-sufficient, as opposed to our current environment of state-subsidized corporate techno-feudalism.
The main problem I keep bumping into is the (unfortunately) common distributist tendency towards willful ignorance regarding economics, as well as a noticeable egalitarian streak. If they could humble themselves and actually read Austrian School literature, I'm sure distributism could actually become a feasible objective.
I might start calling myself an "Austro-Distributist" in the future, it has a nice ring to it....

It really puzzles me that there are so many people who have zero trust in the government and yet still believe that voting is the solution.
