Power structures.

There are no countries, there are no ideologies, we have emotional attachments to our family and tribe or clan but beyond that we're sociopaths, as herodotus or someone said "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must". That's just the way shit be.

You're just less conscious of political reality if you actually believe in any ideology. Now philosophy on the other hand, that's something, if you happen to have some genuine belief in ethics then ironically the best way to put these ethics into practice is to accept this cynical worldview that we are all machiavellian sociopaths, yourself and people who share your beliefs included, it's the only way you can be realistic and effective. Beyond this though there's nothing, just a cold soulless void that extinguishes dreams.

I'm just saying, that's all. Your most heartfelt tender beliefs are all bullshit, in the end it all boils down to a dick swinging contest.

Nope.
Bullshit.
You can be a machiavellian sociopath if that's your thing, but me, I'll be a caring, generous person.

Reading your posted convinced me op, I'm now completely sure you have no idea what you're talking about.

Try anarchy instead.  It's already happened in most places.  There's no sense of power or authority and best of all nobody cares.

Implying anarchy isn't a total failure on the large scale and that small scale operations don't only exist because of a state which houses them.

Accepting the truth does not mean approving of the state of things.

I can't put this any clearer, it's like you're disagreeing with "1+1=2", I'm not sure what you're thinking or what else to say here.

So it's too difficult for you to understand? Let's take it one step at a time then.
There are no countries
What is so difficult to understand about this?

It's already happened in most places.
The majority of the world would have to be anarchist for this statement to be true.
There's no sense of power or authority and best of all nobody cares.
People would have to be omnipotent and the epitome of moral righteousness for this statement to be true. What is just is not self-evident and no matter how ethical someone is there are not perfectly ethical, even if everyone in the world was a zealous anarchist there would still need to be a state to resolve disputes.

"Truth" is a pretty heavy term to be throwing around! Who died and made YOU god that you know what "truth" is, huh?
Your "truth" is not my "truth".
Anyway, the point is I disagree with your opinion.

Just because I find your musings unconvincing does not mean I did not understand them.

Who invited Hermoine Granger into 4chan?  Or is it Lisa Simpson?

Point is the political world is all illusion and to read it or watch it on TV is to pay the collective its taxes (that's what our tax agency is essentially) thereby giving them every right to build hulking mansions out of your pocket.

The world may not be ending but it's still a rotting filthy corpse, and what else to get ourselves laid boozed and stoned out of our misery but anarchy?  MY FRATHOUSE IS AN ANARCHIST HAVEN!!!!!

Don't change these.
