Based on dozens of recent WP posts, I imagine that an AS-based culture would have the following characteristics:

- No professional sports leagues, no crowded pro sports venues, no pro athletes.

- No crowded shopping malls; shopping is by Internet-based delivery and credit deduction only.

- Two TV channels: "All Porn" and "All Anime", with a possible third for "All Hentai".

- No military conscription, no volunteer military, no military at all.

- No congress, no senate, no other governing body - either total anarchy or a socialist dictatorship.

- Free medical, free dental, free optical, free psychological treatment, and free Valium on demand.

- Daily "Witch Hunts"; anyone could be convicted of any crime based on suspicion alone.

- No schools; whatever you want to believe as Truth is Truth, and no one would be allowed to disagree.

- ... ?

this is great, maybe not very accurate but great xD


Sounds like paradise :D

I don't know that it would be a good place for someone with Asperger's/Autism but I've developed a strange fascination Russia. I don't have a clue why and I hate being cold...

The Hippie Culture/Counter Culture. They're the most accepting group of people I know, which is why I love them and am a self proclaimed one.


Methinks the anarchist culture is more appropriate, for similar reasons. Modern hippies tend towards living a completely pointless hedonistic life off of daddy's trust fund... a religion of wasting time. Whereas the punk anarchists are virtually indistinguishable from the "hippies" of yore (oh, the music sounds different now, and they wear black instead of tie-dyes but don't let that fool you.) People who do things, and like people who do things, and like to share knowledge about doing things.

Why?

1. Anarchist culture is composed largely of highly active people who care about truth and honesty. They are very accepting of people outside the societal norms, people of ambiguous gender, race and so forth. If you want to have a serious and respectful conversation, find an anarchist to chat with. And go to the local anarchist info shop to find them: those drunk idiots at that hardcore show have more in common with frat boys than they do with anarchist culture.

Please don't mistake anarchy for chaos. Anarchy has rules, lots and lots of them. Anarchy means "no rulers," not "no rules." Think of it as a more pure democracy than a republic could be.
