I think I posted something critical of conscripting people to make them fight over who they pay taxes to at the end and got called a tankie and Russian bot.
It is entirely consistent with anarchism to be critical of states using coercive violence to force people to fight for their preservation.
Some of the libs on this protocol are intensely derranged, I think for many it’s their first time seeing that people out there disagree with some of their sacred assumptions and it breaks their brains.
Why do people think Python is ducktyped? The syntax is quite explicit, just because
x = 5.
is shorthand forx = float(5)
doesn’t mean it’s doing weird mutations. The closest would be maybe that something like:x = 5 y = 2. z = x * y
works (I think) but that’s not exactly a wacky behaviour. It’s not like it ever does the wrong behaviour of casting a float to an int which can erase meaningful data and cause unpredictable behaviour.
I mean you can (and often should!) give functions/methods type signatures ffs.
