Anarchists are basically our version of libertarians. There’s no internal consistency and the vast majority of ideas or arguments don’t survive even a cursory examination.

It requires humans to behave in a fundamentally different manner than every bit of recorded human history has shown us. It’s a reality that doesn’t, and with all available evidence, can't exist.

In what way isn’t it? How were the borders of the France different than the Roman Empire or Mesopotamia?

Humans have built societies with rules for forever.

And banish people outside their society.

I’m not an expert on the theory of all of this, but it seems entirely dubious that anarchy could function in any environment for long.

Yes, but they’re also mostly nuts.

Yes - Russia says they need to conduct their special military operation to rid Ukraine of Nazis (that don’t exist in any real quantity or position of power) and Nazis all over the world think “Fuck yeah, there are Nazis in Ukraine, we should help them!”. Then they find out that the Ukrainians aren’t Nazis, and the actual Nazis from the rest of the world don’t want to play anymore.

Or they finally realized the Russian propaganda was Russian propaganda and the Ukrainians aren’t actually nazis? And that made the real Nazis not want to support them anymore?

Juniper did a pretty good job of that themselves over the last few years.

Every single one of those apps supports in app payments/subscriptions. You can subscribe directly from the app.

So, no, you don’t.

And if Hey added that, they would be fine.

This is the reason Apple didn’t lose their antitrust cases - they apply their rules pretty uniformly unlike Google which made all sorts of exceptions and side deals.

Sure, but it’s infinitely harder on iOS to install malware, spyware or something else, I’m sure you’d agree. How many times have you looked at someone complaining about their computer being slow and they have 74 browser weather extensions and bars all siphoning data and doing who knows what.

It’s also easier to track down the publisher of a scam app to figure out who’s doing the scamming.

Simply put, I have less to worry about with older folks in my life using iOS than something else.
