Your sig always makes me think of what Nietzsche wrote - "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen."
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

yep, pretty much the truth.

I mean, you could always go full Baedan
This world—the police and armies that defend it, the institutions that constitute it, the architecture that gives it shape, the subjectivities that populate it, the apparatuses that administer its function, the schools that inscribe its ideology, the activism that franticly responds to its crises, the arteries of its circulation and flows, the commodities that define life within it, the communication networks that proliferate it, the information technology that surveils and records it—must be annihilated in every instance, all at once. To shy away from this task, to assure our enemies of our good intentions, is the most crass dishonesty.
Never go full Baedan.

Wow. That's crazy talk -- the quote. My quote is basically anti-socialist, anti-communist. We need gov't, but just barely enough to maintain our pre-existing freedoms. The struggle is good.

i used to call propertarian minarchist libertarians (like you seem to be) "anarchists that haven't run out of excuses yet" - meaning you are a couple of government screw jobs from going over the high wall and joining the dark side (we have cookies)
As for me, I'm post anarchist these days. Government is as inevitable as capitalism, and I can find fault with all of the positive prospects of man, so these days I just play the field I'm on rather than mourn it or even change it. I'm an observer. Less stress, more flexibility to navigate it actually. White knuckling tends to narrow one's field of vision, so @#($ politics

in my defense we got him from someone else.
he was prenamed and everything. already adulting.
his name is isobel.
apparently his previous human named him after a slot machine, and didn't realize he was a boy kitty.

Our cat is named Cinnamon, Chinnu for short, and is pictured here[^].
Chinnu is an Indian word, and means gold.

Ours is called Dij[^] - short for "Digital" because as a kitten he was either "ON" and doing a "wall of death" round the room, or "OFF" and you could have plucked him bald and he wouldn't respond. Fortunately, he has discovered some middle ground and now only does the wall of death on special occasions.
He's eight now, but refuses to update his profile pic - a bit like Tinder members.

if it weren't for my penchant for naming cats after tyrants and otherwise failed rulers I probably would have named one of mine "laptop", for obvious reasons.

cats are natures contradiction. adorable little murder machines, full of fluff and sharp.

I had to look up the cat manual ("man cat") yesterday, and noticed that they even have documented how the "-vET" works.

Quote: display $ at end of each line
Is certainly applicable to all -vET options I've met...

Yup. I just laid out $1200 for my female greyhound for teeth cleaning and several extractions. At least her breath is now minty fresh...
