Hello anarchists! I have a question for you, I asked the same on a related meme here some time ago but didn't get any answers from the ML-critics there then, but instead got lots from lemmygrad, so not looking too hot for your hypothesis. In any case, you all seem like the smarter kind of folks, so I thought I'd ask the same here. Also please don't mistake this as an attempt at flaming or such (despite my somewhat snarky language), I am actually looking for an answer to this from your side of the argument:

"So how is any of this supposed to work if no state (no ruling authority) can exist? Say maintaining infrastructure in areas where no natural resources, industry for refining or skilled labor for extracting, refining and maintaining naturally exist? I don’t believe that any human society can function without some level of authority (thinking legality in disputes and such) and in order to provide everything needed for infrastructure maintenance some authority must tell others where to go with everything.

I understand being vary of needless blindness when it comes to (existing) regimes and their atrocities. But there seem to be people in the comments arguing that “stateless” means “no authority”, which I think would never work, and thus in their mind supporting any existing socialist society is wrong because we are supposed to work towards the stateless one. But how can such state come to be when there are people more interested in infighting and such, instead of helping the ones existing? Not to mention imperialists can easily hijack this infighting further hindering any progress."

Is there like a central work of anarchist theory on the bureaucracy of the utopia I have missed? 'cause I don't think that post-scarcity utopia is ever going to become manifest without one.

(I've edited the question to be more coherent) So how is any of this supposed to work if no state (no ruling authority) can exist?

"also I had all of this growing up, and zero reasons to leave the internet connection for most of it"

You have a good way of saying it there, I feel the same way about myself and change vs. surprise. I think it could be said like that if I feel active in the concept of "change" and the implementation I believe I would be completely ok with it, but if it is conceived for me and implemented on me so to say I wouldn't be. And for the lack of change again, if I feel active etc. I'd be okay if nothing changes, but if it is forced on me I'd be not. Like socioeconomical troubles the world is facing, and the lack of change therein, though this is something I feel quite strongly about. Or maybe I'm just a control freak like that!

I know it's shit, and I didn't even watch it! Fuck AI in its entirety.

Going through this the posting history of this user, I have a hunch he plays by the alt-right playbook. Which reminded me of a video I saw recently with such a term in the title, and an entire playlist of such: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJA_jUddXvY7v0VkYRbANnTnzkA_HMFtQ

Also, while interacting online with creatures such as this user, I think it is important to always remember: don't feed the trolls. Now with the alt-right trolls, such as with AI-bots, they've learned to mimic human ways enough to fool you into believing you are speaking with an actual rational human being, and it is easy to be lured into a fruitless argument with someone who plays by a different ruleset than you. But remember! DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.

This being inane, asinine and banal at the same time must be a personal best for the maker of this comic

Yeah, okay sure. Let's leave it at that. This seems like playing chess with a pigeon etc.

I’m not seeing how I’m a cunt.

There's your problem.

If you empathize with them, then why are you being such a fucking cunt? In my eyes that's even worse than not being able to empathize, that's just being a fucking cunt.

Are you for real? :D I can see now you haven't accepted yourself for who you are, as you cannot see the fault in yourself here. But maybe saying "you are an inconsiderate asshole" is wrong, as I don't even know you, but rather that you constantly come across as an inconsiderate asshole. Like did you at all stop to think how your "advice" (that you so graciously have gifted the OOP with) might be perceived by someone in their position? Can you at all place yourself into "their shoes" so to say and gauge how your actions (or rather words in this case) might make them feel? It's ok if you don't, I can't do that always, but I acknowledge that as a personal shortcoming.

Second that, why are there cars on the beach? Also why are there tiktoks on lemmy?
