"Patriotic duty" is really just the nationalist and (mostly) "right wing" equivalent of "the greater good". It's just another form of collectivist bullshit.

>It's your patriotic duty to vote in fake elections
>It's your patriotic duty to pay your taxes
>It's your patriotic duty to snitch on those who don't pay their taxes or cheat on them
>It's your patriotic duty to be drafted and fight in bankster wars

I went swimming for the first time in years. Glad I'm still good at it.

@Gerfand @Terry @askedfornopickles @RoyalJohnny242 Not too long from now. Metal 3D printers are becoming cheaper and more advanced. We are going to have an industrial revolution in our bedrooms.

>how do you think a Anarcho capitalist society will survive to show its morality in face of this reality?

First off, people will have better self defense in the absence of gun control. You can own fucking tanks in an ancap society. Second, they really can't take over if the people don't recognize the state as legitimate. Third, the Russia-Ukraine war is a scam just like I said previously. In fact every war since the Napoleonic wars has been a central bankster scam.

@ryo "Anarcho-tyranny" seems to refer to the authoritarianism that fake anarchists like Antifa want. Just install a government but don't call it a government. Call it a "workers-council" or something like that. Have a military but call it a militia. Have a police force but call it a neighborhood watch program. Of course, the UK doesn't do that, but this seems to be what fake anarchists want.

Catalonia is probably a perfect example of this. AnComs and AnSynds tried to create a left-anarchist revolution and an "autonomous zone" but the result was no different than a tankie revolution.

@Hyolobrika @beardalaxy @backagain88 @ryo Also, one interesting effect that Christianity had on Japan was that crucifixion became a popular form of capital punishment in the country for a brief time. At least that's what I've heard.

@Hyolobrika @beardalaxy @backagain88 Christianity seems to have a big influence on Japanese culture even though most Japanese aren't Christian. I think they do celebrate Christmas and have Christian style weddings. It seems like most Japanese practice a mixture of religions for whatever reason. I think @ryo could explain it.

@xianc78 @waltercool DEMONcracy is simply DICKtatorship with the illusion of choice.

@Hyolobrika @beardalaxy @backagain88 There is a fan translation of the game that is more of a literal translation of the original Japanese version. That translation just mentions God.

@beardalaxy @backagain88 The first Phantasy Star game had Catholic style churches in it and that game is set in a star system that clearly has no connection with Earth. (spoiler alert: Earth does exist in the Phantasy Star universe but this was before that happens) The Japanese version even mentions God when you visit the Church but this was changed to Gods (plural) in the international versions. The fourth game eventually created their own mythos, saying that the Algo system was created by a cosmic entity to seal the Profound Darkness.
