I made a post requesting article ideas. See it here #339774
I got some good suggestions and I've already said I'll use two of them, but to inspire more, I'll produce a list of my current ideas via their prospective titles. Remember, my post asked for controversial ideas. A couple suggestions in there weren't very controversial, not to say they weren't appreciated.
Also, @untraceable if it wasn't clear before, this should make it obvious that I'm gonna need that clarity on ToS I asked for before I write/post a lot of this.

the one i would actually read is the practical exit one. titles are not always clear what they are about. if there are more on the list that are the practical exit one, those.
We Don't Have Time for Incremental Solutions and Live Free Or Die Caged sound like that.
Total Fucking War: A Practical Strategy For Free Market Anarchists) too if it is a list of what you can actually do, not a war fantasy.
Old Norse Anarchism: A Positive Vitalist Vision of Anarchism i will read if it is a way to live and not just costumes.
i would rather skip the ethnic ones.
@fujimoto, @Aillia, @artemis
Curious to hear your thoughts on this list and any you would want me to prioritize. Some will take a lot of work and will likely be huge like Old Norse Anarchism, Religion, and Total Fucking War so I'll likely do those ones a bit later.
This is the one you suggested @Aillia
Religion: Our Greatest Strength Or Our Greatest Weakness
I also added one you didn't suggest from our previous conversations on a topic I think you and I have significant agreement on.
The Subjective Theory of Moral Value
These are a response to your suggestions @fujimoto:
Old Norse Anarchism:
A Positive Vitalist Vision of Anarchism
Total Fucking War: A Practical Strategy For Free Market Anarchists)
@artemis I don't see your suggestion anymore, but you've been engaging on similar discussions previously so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks to you guys for engaging with my posts and comments and providing suggestions for articles. You guys are one of the reasons why I've spent so much time on this site and your thoughtful engagement makes me want to write more on here.
Those three sound interesting, and none of them look like they’re on your “a lot of work” list:
The Subjective Theory of Moral Value
Austrian Economics is Right About Everything...Except the Federal Reserve
Decentralization is Inevitable
IDK what your workflow is: e.g. I have notes for several dozen posts sitting around right now, but if I don’t feel like writing them, I just can’t. I’m not a professional writer, so I can only write when I actually feel like it (otherwise it turns out shit, or just not me e.g. if I use LLM). So for me, asking people what to prioritize would be kind of pointless :))
I think what I’m trying to say is: you should prioritize whatever feels like your priority right now. The list is already strong; the ones you actually want to write will probably come out better than the ones you force :)
Thanks for the mention. I deleted it because I did not receive feedback, so I thought it was not interesting. Happy to post it back if you want to keep it on records.
The list above is impressive, definitely not what I was expecting :) I really look forward to read the following ones:
from a philosophical perspective, "The Subjective Theory of Moral Value" intrigues me.
Following the topic I'm currently diving into:
As per your nym, I'd also be curious about "Old Norse Anarchism: A Positive Vitalist Vision of Anarchism"
And this? "Freedom is Genetic"? Do you really believe that? I mean... tell me more lol
So, as you can see, many titles resonate with me; prioritise these ones accordingly :)
Really liked the list, and thanks for adding titles in response to my suggestions. Besides the two you added for me, "God Isn't Dead, Let's Fucking Kill Him" and "We Don't Have Time for Incremental Solutions" would definitely catch my interest too.
Since you said Old Norse Anarchism and Total Fucking War are big projects, I'd be happy if you started with "God Isn't Dead" and "Incremental Solutions" first. I can wait for the big ones whenever you get to them, no rush at all.
If you're asking which of the big two I'd pick, it'd be Total Fucking War. I've actually been thinking about writing something on building parallel systems myself soon, so I think trading ideas on this would be useful.
Thanks! Yeah, my plan for Total Fucking War is basically an aggregated and prioritized list of all the effective methods for addressing the state as an adversary. Addressing people comfortable with different levels of effort, providing a templatized baseline for cooperation and direct action. Basically saying whether you'll never break a law (whether legal or moral or religious) in your life or if you crave a high octane anti-state life how you can advance the pro-freedom anti-state cause.
There is no concern with any topic you've mentioned here.
If its not gore, violence, terrorism, CP, or something illegal, then you are free to post content about it without fear. Users will vote with their Monero whether it shows up at the top or bottom of the feed.
I only ask because that's not in line with what it says in the ToS. According to ToS I would be in violation. I understand stuff like you have to be very specific regarding violence (not calling for), but inflammatory, offensive, otherwise objectionable, and discrimination would likely apply though. Specific relevant lines here:
Comment I'm referring to where I asked:
#339962
I will revise the ToS soon. To be honest most of that wording was inherited from stacker news. The line at Stasher is drawn much further.
Thanks. I figured it was, I just wanted to make sure. I know a lot of sites limit that type of content because of potential legal liability or their hosting service's ToS even beyond the official legal bounds of free speech.
I'm interested in practical essays. Like ok you can reject authoritarianism but if you cheese cops, break law and don't pay taxes your mental model won't save you from the violence.
what work do you do, how could you live, what ways could you operate yourself to minimse government even if you cannot overthrow it.
also norse documents Hávamál, poetic edda others contain maxims for living well. i've often thought about taking some of these edicts and then translating them to modern applications of righteous behaviour along with practical examples of how to put old norse way of being into practice.
i also think young white kids are put down. they are told they are bad. all other cultures are celebrated. we need articles and examples of great white women and men to aspire to. e.g. Lioness of Brittany is something every father should retell his daughter.
That's what Total Fucking War is.
The Hávamál and Norse paganism was one of the topics I was going to include in Old Norse Anarchism, Religion, and Christianity articles.
I agree. Ethnic Warfare is going to talk about that stuff as well. As well as Freedom is Genetic. You shouldn't dismiss FromKulak Or Martianwyrdlord they seem up your alley.
when did you being to realise we are the only 2 people on this site and we could just chat on a messenger and save our xmr.
Mostly true, but I also have been chatting with a couple others on here. Aillia, Artemis, and Ryuko. So I've been spending my monero talking to 4 people. I'll have to figure out what I want to do for a messenger I connect to here and how to share that. Maybe I'll have to do something like pgp. I don't want to share that with the general public in any context. I'm sure you can tell by my topic selections that anonymity and privacy will be very important for the kind of articles I'll be writing and the ideas I'll be (and have been) expressing.
