I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

Name:  Gray Jester
Studies computer science.  I'm a student at a university.
In my free time I plot more ways to disrupt my daily habits, and engage in all sorts of shenanigans.  I'm interested in almost anything interesting: philosophy, science, music, literature, economics, religion, among other things.
I found Eris in the bottom of my teapot one day, chilling in my tea leaves.  I thought it was a good idea to let her out, so I did.

I also look something like this (my hair is slightly longer now):

I am a surrealist.  It makes me feel more knightly.

That must mean you're British. Because  9 out of 10 Americans wouldn't know a Teapot from a hole in the ground.  (no offence, everybody else who isn't British   :| ) And chilling in the Tea Leaves is a British Tradition.  And if you found Eris in the bottom of the Teapot, I'm thinking maybe a Gong connection, (Also peculiar to the British)  Was she visiting the Pot head Pixies? Because you sound like a bit of a  Hippy to me, with your long hair, pierced ear, and outlandish, almost anarchist interests. 
So welcome to PD, Gray Jester.

I reside in America, and lived in Britain for part of my childhood.  I don't identify with nation states, as being associated with a group of people just because I happen to live near them is incredibly backward.

I prefer the beats to the hippies, as my young impression of the hippies* is that although they had a lot of fun, they took their message of change too seriously without doing enough about it.  I also detest the idea of going "back to nature":  yes, the great outdoors are nice, but an overidealization of "primitive man" is dumb.  Also, the "unnatural/natural" dichotomy is not only false, but a symptom of a fear of change.  Living sustainably, though, in the sense of not consuming as much, is just a good idea.  (Also, my hair is not -all- that long; that picture is only a few months old.)

*From what I've read/seen/heard from those who actually saw real live hippies.  I'm not old enough to remember them for real, and today's youth (my peers) use a 'hippie' identity as an excuse to light up (as if you need an excuse, amirite? y/y), which likely colors my perceptions of real hippies (tm).

It's also how the world works.

I mean, sure, don't identify with them, but recognize the reality of the situation.

It does sound like a nice idea in theory, but yeah, every place is going to leave some sort of stamp on you, and whether or not GJ identifies as British/American he will have qualities that single him out and identify him as a Brit/Merkin to an outside observer.

Not only that, but the nation you live in has a habit of including you in its problems.
