While everyone is busy fighting over cookies, I guess I'll make a spear catch a fish, grill it on my George Foreman grill I made out of a piece of wood & a banana leaf & just sit back & enjoy the show.

Ah wonderful, a land without laws and regulation. It's the perfect place to establish a despotism. Now, should I go for benevolent or tyrannical dictatorship. Choices choices.
Ok, sorry about the proposal for Canada. I agree it's too cold.
Actually this thread is turning out a little like I thought Anarchyland land might be like.
@muir Here's for you:
I hope your dream of INFJ land comes to fruition.
Hi looking back over the thread i realise i gave you a thumbs up but didn't return the hug so **hugs**!

[h=1]After Several Near Misses, Experts Warn The Next Carrington Event Will Plunge Us Back Into The Dark Ages[/h]
By Michael Snyder, on March 20th, 2014
Most people have absolutely no idea that the Earth barely missed being fried by a massive EMP burst from the sun in 2012, in 2013 and just last month. If any of those storms would have directly hit us, the result would have been catastrophic. Electrical transformers would have burst into flames, power grids would have gone down and much of our technology would have been fried. In essence, life as we know it would have ceased to exist – at least for a time. These kinds of solar storms have hit the Earth many times before, and experts tell us that it is inevitable that it will happen again. The most famous one happened in 1859, and was known as the Carrington Event. But other than the telegraph, humanity had very little dependence on technology at the time. If another Carrington Event happened today, it would be a complete and utter nightmare. A study by Lloyd’s of London has concluded that it would have taken a $2,600,000,000,000 chunk out of the global economy, and it would take up to a decade to repair the damage. Unfortunately, scientists insist that it is going to happen at some point. The only question is when.
Just this week, the near miss of 2012 is suddenly making headlines all over the globe. The following is from a recent Reuters report…
But this is not the only near miss that we have had in recent years.
In fact, there was another harrowing near miss in 2013…
Well, basically it will be a technological Armageddon. The following is a brief excerpt from one of my previous articles…
But that technology could be stripped away from us in a single moment.
We should be thankful for the good things that we have, and we should not take for granted that we will always have them.
All it would take is one giant burst from the sun, and everything would change.

Just this week, the near miss of 2012 is suddenly making headlines all over the globe. The following is from a recent Reuters report…
Fierce solar blasts that could have badly damaged electrical grids and disabled satellites in space narrowly missed Earth in 2012, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
The bursts would have wreaked havoc on the Earth’s magnetic field, matching the severity of the 1859 Carrington event, the largest solar magnetic storm ever reported on the planet. That blast knocked out the telegraph system across the United States, according to University of California, Berkeley research physicist Janet Luhmann.
The two bursts that the Reuters article is referring to happened very closely to one another, and the scientists that study these things say that it could have taken a decade to recover from such a catastrophe…The bursts would have wreaked havoc on the Earth’s magnetic field, matching the severity of the 1859 Carrington event, the largest solar magnetic storm ever reported on the planet. That blast knocked out the telegraph system across the United States, according to University of California, Berkeley research physicist Janet Luhmann.
“Had [the latest storm] hit Earth, it probably would have been like the big one in 1859, but the effect today, with our modern technologies, would have been tremendous,” said Janet Luhmann, who is part of the STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Observatory) team and based at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory.
Luhmann and physicist Ying Liu of China’s State Key Laboratory of Space Weather led a team in analysing the magnetic storm, which was detected by NASA’s STEREO A spacecraft and published their results in Nature Communications.
“An extreme space weather storm – a solar superstorm – is a low-probability, high-consequence event that poses severe threats to critical infrastructures of the modern society,” warned Liu.
“The cost of an extreme space weather event, if it hits Earth, could reach trillions of dollars with a potential recovery time of 4-10 years. Therefore, it is paramount to the security and economic interest of the modern society to understand solar superstorms.”

But this is not the only near miss that we have had in recent years.
In fact, there was another harrowing near miss in 2013…
The earth barely missed taking a massive solar punch in the teeth two weeks ago, an “electromagnetic pulse” so big that it could have knocked out power, cars and iPhones throughout the United States.
Two EMP experts told Secrets that the EMP flashed through earth’s typical orbit around the sun about two weeks before the planet got there.
“The world escaped an EMP catastrophe,” said Henry Cooper, who led strategic arms negotiations with the Soviet Union under President Reagan, and who now heads High Frontier, a group pushing for missile defense.
“There had been a near miss about two weeks ago, a Carrington-class coronal mass ejection crossed the orbit of the Earth and basically just missed us,” said Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional EMP Threat Commission from 2001-2008.

A huge magnetic filament shot out of the sun Monday, sending shockwaves racing at 1.7 million miles per hour and a brief roar of static through shortwave radios across the planet. And with a geomagnetic storm causing Northern Lights to dance across the Canadian border and into North America, the sun is clearly acting up.
According to a report on Spaceweather.com, Monday’s massive blast shot off the sun and into space, away from our planet, so it didn’t have the same effect on radio signals, power grids and communication satellites that an Earth-facing eruption would have.
So what is going to happen when one of these things finally hits us?According to a report on Spaceweather.com, Monday’s massive blast shot off the sun and into space, away from our planet, so it didn’t have the same effect on radio signals, power grids and communication satellites that an Earth-facing eruption would have.
Well, basically it will be a technological Armageddon. The following is a brief excerpt from one of my previous articles…
An electromagnetic pulse can range from a minor inconvenience to a civilization-killing event. It just depends on how powerful it is. But in the worst case scenario, we could be facing a situation where our electrical grids have been fried, there is no heat for our homes, our computers don’t work, the Internet does not work, our cell phones do not work, there are no more banking records, nobody can use credit cards anymore, hospitals are unable to function, nobody can pump gas, and supermarkets cannot operate because there is no power and no refrigeration. Basically, we would witness the complete and total collapse of the economy. According to a government commission that looked into these things, approximately two-thirds of the U.S. population would die from starvation, disease and societal chaos within one year of a massive EMP attack. It would be a disaster unlike anything we have ever seen before in U.S. history.
Without any electrical power, our society would descend into a state of chaos very rapidly. The following is an excerpt from an article by Mac Slavo that explains some of the things that we would be likely to see in the immediate aftermath of such an event…
The first 24 – 48 hours after such an occurrence will lead to confusion among the general population as traditional news acquisition sources like television, radio and cell phone networks will be non-functional.
Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos.
Within 30 days a mass die off will have begun as food supplies dwindle, looters and gangs turn to violent extremes, medicine can’t be restocked and water pump stations fail.
Today, our lives have been made very comfortable by technology.Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos.

Anarchyland would be ill fated since its become nothing other than a highly intellectualised theory for rebellious kids or kidults, I dont think it was always so but then people were much more independent of one another once upon a time and more mature at a younger age as of necessity.
Still gonna have my road roller.

Also, do you mean independent, or independent? There's a difference.
Prime example: when I searched for "rin road roller" in YouTube, it asked me "Did you mean: ring road roller" and I'm going "IF I wanted 'ring road roller', I'd have typed that shit! I can think for myself and check my own stuff, fuck you very much!"
I know what you mean and perhaps you are also attempting to use humour, its hard to tell online, but that could be a bit of an emotional over reaction to google attempting, albeit in a manner that's a pain, to be helpful.
Maybe that sort of pervasive assistance is part of what I'm talking about, on the other hand it could just be convenience and I'm not that begrudging about most of the convenience developments there's been, certainly in the space of my lifetime.
To be honest I think that there have been social and cultural developments in most of the developed world, the hegemonic nations but perhaps I just mean the english speaking nations, which amount to what would be considered some kind of emotional or maturational crisis in an individual.
These developments have resulted in a situation in which none of the modern political ideologies, and I've read pretty widely of them all, or even some of the pseduo-ideologies, like economic or other theories (ideology with a small i) are little understood and less applicable to life as it is. Some ideologues realise this more than others, some have turned out to be complete self-serving machavellians as a result, politicians have become performance artists and managerial elites, working to "manage public expectations" (usually downwards).
Of anarchism I've read LOTS, possibly the complete canon, and a lot of it is highly, highly intellectual and highly, highly rational but its supporters I've met are often highly emotive, reckless, chaotic individuals who're liable to seize upon a few lines here or there to serve as a rationalisation for behaviour they've choosen for reasons which arent even clear to themselves.
Can you provide examples please?
Also can you explain what you perceive anarchism to be
thanks
