No, the reason religion is excluded is because delusions aren’t supposed to reflect cultural conditioning. Delusions are, by their very definition, an abnormal brain process. Cultural beliefs are not abnormal brain processes, no matter how irrational they are.

That's what i'm saying, the reason that cultural beliefs aren't allowed to be delusions is simply because they don't want to make religion a delusion. It's common, so, it's not a delusion. That's the end of the reasoning. Should we really say that anything that's commonly believed isn't a delusion? I think that's an exception made for a logical reason, it defends the field of psychology from culture, but cultures can share delusions.

Please understand that this exception is accepted by the entire field of psychology. If you disagree with it, you have 200 years of psychological debate and study to contend with. Don’t pretend you’ve read enough to claim you have grounds to disagree with something the entire field of psychology considers a settled issue. No matter how much you wish religion is a mental illness, it’s not. Sadly, the irrationality of religion is fully explainable within the bounds of normal human psychology.

The reason this exception exists is precisely as i've said, they've special cased it because they don't want to define religion/cultural beliefs as mental illnesses. The very reason for this exception is because they don't want it to count, not because it doesn't meet every single other (much more important might I add) criteria.

they're essentially going "yeah, these are delusions, but uh, enough people believe them and we don't want to piss them off so here's an exception"

I personally don't think that's valid at all, but I can see why they'd do it.

Just because a delusion is normal to have, doesn't mean it shouldn't be a delusion.

If somebody was willing to do this, xorg would still be maintained.

xorg is actually legitimately so terrible to work on that nobody is interested in doing this who actually knows how xorg works.

You're right, my bad, I misremembered!

i can't wait for native wayland, what's the hold on that?

Not in the sense that they’ll all be confiscated, but in the sense that multiple anarcho-communists have told me that under their utopia, theft will not be a crime.

source: dude just trust me

They were probably saying there will be no reason to steal because resources will be plentiful, not that you can just take other peoples stuff and it's fine.

They’ve also told me that under anarcho-communism, there will be no state, thus no laws, thus no justice system.

no they didn't, a state is just a monopoly on violence in a given region, there will still be law and order through democracy and consensus, it'll just be horizontally handled by the community.

If you are wronged, your only recourse is vigilantism – a point I can’t help but notice you quoted but conveniently glossed over

this is just nonsense, we just believe these things would be handled communally, not by authority, but by democracy. it got glossed over because it's just as much nonsense as the toothbrush thing.

But I digress. Vigilantism doesn’t work (I’d be happy to explain why if you have trouble with that as well) and I’m still waiting to hear a single anarcho-communist propose an alternative.

democratically run courts with rotations, honestly there are hundreds of ideas, google it. Nobodies idea is what you're saying, it's just a strawman.

Does leftism only count if I do it in public?

No but it means if you do it wrong you'll get made fun of. You've clearly never even read a single book on anarchism and have strong opinions about it.

If your opinions are based on complete nonsense strawmen, that explains why you keep getting made fun of.

The point of the comic is that absolute buffoons say they're getting bullied and that's the reason they're getting pushed right, like you. It has no basis in reality, people are just criticizing things they should criticize, and since you don't bother to do the necessary reading to understand why people are criticizing you, you just go "the left is mean wahhh"

The fact that your arguments are covered in socialism101 courses shows that you've never even bothered to make an attempt. Do you actually think socialists are so dumb that they never thought of these arguments? Do you actually think marx or kropotkin never came up with "but what if someone murders someone" on their own?

anarcho-communist utopia in which personal belongings are a distant memory and vigilante justice reigns supreme

Literally nobody, not even anarchocommunists, like me, want personal belongings to not be a thing. Marxism 101 includes a section on personal vs private property, the notion of wanting to abolish private property is not with the modern understanding of private property, marx made the clear distinction between private and personal property, and it's quite simple, personal property is stuff that you own, private property is stuff that generates capital.

I don't get why people keep thinking anyone would believe something this stupid, like do you actually think we're going to take your toothbrushes?

but that “utopia” is something I will fight tooth and nail against

You clearly don't even know what you're fighting against. That's probably why you get made fun of in socialist circles. Read theory, all you have is a clear strawman and whining that people make fun of you.

I’m a devout Catholic, I think being gay is sinful, and I voted for Trump. Maybe then they’ll stop calling me a Nazi.

This is you proving the point made by the comic.

I did not call you racist.

But you're using the same argument they're using. I don't see what I misinterpreted here, it's literally identical to the comic.

It's not completely foss
