To be fair, the whole “anarcho-capitalist nerd accidentally reinvents public transportation” thing isn’t restricted to that particular side of the aisle; I have, on multiple occasions, watched an anarcho-communist nerd accidentally reinvent centralised government.
“On multiple occasions”
Oh, come now, like you’ve never been trying to talk out the solution to a thorny social problem and suddenly realised that you’ve invented federalism.
Listen, I’m watching the animated Batman series for the first time and I just gotta make a real quick observation.
Millennials are all fucking reckless nihilists, so there’s definitely that one time in Gotham where Harley and Ivy hold up a bank and some twenty-something pops their head up from the floor like “Hey, Miss Ivy–no, don’t shoot me, I just have a question–I’ve been trying to grow roses and they’re just not doing well, I’ve tried everything”. Batman shows up ten minutes later to Ivy sitting on the floor and having a serious conversation with some random kid about soil nitrogen content and what gypsum content the Gotham area tends to have. Harley’s kicked back on the bank counter playing tiddlywinks with a roll of pennies while the hostages shoot nervous glances at each other and try to figure out if they’re gonna be shot for getting up off the floor. The twenty-something is still lying on their back and Ivy’s sitting next to him.
“Hey, Bats,” Harley says happily, and waves to him.
“Hello, Harley. Ivy, I don’t mean to interrupt, but you are doing something illegal here.“
“We didn’t even take any money, now be quiet, I’m explaining how to acidify soil.”
You’ve been sent into an alternate dimension where music is magic: choirs can change the weather and orchestras can topple castle walls. With your digital music device (iPhone, MP3 player, whichever), you’ve just become the most powerful wizard in the world.
