An Alien's Angst on Nostr: There are a lot of inappropriate - injust or wrongly ordered - things coming to roost ...

There are a lot of inappropriate - injust or wrongly ordered - things coming to roost specifically because of the delusional worldview that has conquered and been proliferated in the west for the past 2000 years - Catholicism, spiritual and secular.

If you don't see it upfront, that idea is a little too outside of the western ideological norm for me to attempt to explain it to people who just want to defend their religion right now. But, this is an overlooked result of it:

There is the idea that industrialized ekistical units are objects of salvation rather than communities and cultural units. That people in industrialized societies are just supposed to live with whoever the fuck - no consideration for values, for community fit, for actual individual preferences, fruitfulness of the arrangement, ability to thrive, etc.... As if there were not a readily apparent reality of socio-ekistical affinity, if we want to call it that.

That is: any given individual will have a natural suitability or inclination towards particular societal structures or human settlements. There is, usually, a non-zero number in which they are capable of thriving (or at least surviving) and attaining personal fulfillment and a non-zero number in which they will fail to thrive and be fulfilled.

What we have today is a bunch of people in and insisting on being in places that they cannot actually weather. For instance, we have a bunch of people living cities - places of economic activity and specialization, usually along the lines of abstract fields - who cannot meaningfully contribute on these bases. They'd be better off in something like a tribal village, yet they want the products of the city so they stay and and become burdens and bad actors.

They are largely encouraged to do so on the basis of some kind of entitlement to have those products, stemming directly from this white-man's-burden style emphasis on spreading modern industrialization and futuristic amenities to "all" as a sort of salvific act.

This is the expansion and justification for the sprawling state.
This is "human rights."
This is Europe's immigration situation.
This is America's immigration situation.
This is America's education and "equality" situation.

Here is where we get to my point: An anarcho-capitalist onset fixes this and re-establishes justice - it makes things appropriately ordered in terms of ekistics. It dissolves the sprawling state that is justified by the reasoning and logical courses of the Catholic worldview, allowing a sorting and emergent development of human settlements.

Rather than being forced to exist in the same, monolithic settlement type and societal structure by a mega-state, a plurality of self-determining ekistical units and societies would pepper a given land mass, allowing for more people to live in their best fit arrangements and that is what is appropriate.

That is actually how humans always lived up until the popularization of the idea of conquest for conversion and "spreading" salvific ideas and lifestyles to new lands. From homo sapiens existing relatively separate but concurrent with other hominids to city-state civilizations existing separate but concurrent with horse tribes.

This is what anarcho-capitalism actually looks like rather than what I've heard others imagine and it is beneficial for ancaps to know this, imo: the city-states in the midst of the wildernesses. This is does not need to constitute technological devolution or slowing of advancement and can actually enable quicker development, which you care about if you're like me.
