    It’s not a random 37% and it’s not a military operation.

    The only way to remove a mind virus is to eradicate it. It’s a survival reaction that has been suppressed by governments and society, dig deep inside yourself and you might still be able to find it.

    37% is the percentage who have consistently supported authoritarians throughout history. They cannot be reasoned with, only removed.

    They are free to fuck off and live their lives but I am prepared for them to chose otherwise. And every serious anarchist needs to be prepared to do the same, this effort cannot fall on just some of us, that makes is a military occupation.

    Each person needs to be prepared to eradicate half a person. This is not a big ask. Don’t allow yourself to be confused by how things currently operate. All of that war machinery needs to be destroyed. We cannot allow ourselves to use it, “just this once”

    If we’re not prepared to do the necessary work to get there, then we aren’t ready for anarchy as a species; it’s just cosplay.

      What would the mechanism be to exterminate 37% of the human race with this degree of precision? Who would be in charge of it and why do we trust them not to continue using such a tool? If it’s not a military operation, what would it be?

      A major, fundamental issue with your suggestion is that it assumes there are multiple species of humans which exist who are fundamentally different on a genetic level. If I was a god who could snap my fingers and instantly obliterate all conservatives, it would not be the end of conservatism. You yourself are locked in violent thinking, are you absolutely certain that your own children couldn’t possibly be attracted to violence when you yourself believe that mass violence on an unprecedented scale is the best opportunity to create a just world? Are you certain that no child born of any survivors would carry any temptation to take advantage of others as those in the past have? Are you sure no one in the surviving billions of people, generationally removed from your mass killing, would have the ability to re-invent a dipshit philosophy like fascism? I don’t think its bad genes which causes the myriad evils which result from trauma and poverty. As long as there is an incentive for people to behave in anti-social ways, people will behave in anti-social ways.

      You are correct that unreasonable people can’t be reasoned with. Dogs also can’t be reasoned with but are not a threat to society. This is because we manage them. Trump has demonstrated that you can be a fool-whisperer like Cesar Milan is a dog-whisperer. The problem is that he uses his ability to influence fools for evil instead of good. These unreasonable fear-motivated dupes can be dealt with in ways that take advantage of their cowardice to neutralize themselves as a threat or depend on pro-social groups rather than use their cowardice to fuel despotism. The human race of which you and I are part will contain a vast array of people acting and being acted upon. We as a species can be influenced, but eugenic movements to root out undesirables have never worked.

        This is deceptive not prescriptive of how it comes about.

        We don’t get there by being passavists.

        You’re trying to make this a eugenics thing which is fucking weird. I can only assume you don’t want to understand because it’s nothing but strawmen.

          We’re not talking about the use of violence generally, which is a nuanced and vastly complex topic. We are talking about literally wiping out 37% of humanity, which is much less nuanced or complex. Such ideas should have been left behind during the previous century.
