That's almost worst than what Adolf Eichmann & Arthur Ruppin stood for. Seriously, aren't you ashamed about yourself, or is it paid too good to stop this BS of yours? @Sherifazuhur
Au contraire... it is you who support dirty arab terrorist! Remember, the arabs started the attack, and the defense operation will finish when Hamas gives up or when the palestinians hang them or surrender them to israel for imprisonment.
Oh my dear @h4890
how did you achieve this level of indoctrination and ignorance? To support #genocide today isn't much different than to support #holocaust back in 1938. Are your parents proud that you became a #ZioNazi?
Since it wasn't me who financed #Hamas, but the #apartheid#regime of @israel (that you support) ... you might guess who does the dirty work as useful idiot.
:linus:
While I'm prepared with historical facts for an intellectual duell with #genocideDenier's, it's you who is unarmed, obviously.
Actually that is incorrect. It's the arabs who are terrorists and blow up planes, so logic dictates that a country being attacked has the right to defend itself.
I think you are trapped by leftist/socialist propaganda.
But open yours eyes and please go and watch Fox news to get a real view of the world.
@h4890
Thought you would appreciate easy stuff to start with, but if you prefer more serious sources...
this one brings more reality back into your fundamentally right-wing echo chamber than you've seen on FOX TV, ever!
The Grayzone is an American fringe,[7] far-left[19] news website and blog,[23] founded and edited by American journalist Max Blumenthal.[20] The website, initially founded as The Grayzone Project,[24] was affiliated with AlterNet before becoming independent in early 2018.[4]
@h4890
Indeed, you are one of those undereducated #ZioNazi guys who's not interested in Jews, except to use them as shield, smokescreen, and in "anti-semitism" strawman arguments.
I'm surprised how long it took you to recognize that, unlike you, I'm not a #fascist & #terroristgroup supporter.
"True. But you gotta give it to them... they were very good at stealing UN money to fund their terrorist organization."
— @h4890
If you say that Hamas freedom fighters got more buck$ from the UN than #Irgun#JDL#IDF terrorists from #AIPAC then back your claim with source links. Otherwise, you're just a liar.
Obviously you @h4890 can't back that claim of yours with links, otherwise you would do as you're told, wouldn't you?
Same BS different propaganda stories been the "babies in ovens", "systemic rape" allegations, AND last not least your classic "anti-semitism" fairytales...
I've offered quite a few opportunities for you to provide links, but since you ignored them the disability of yours became obvious.
Why would I back my claims? You are just a clown, and I don't take you seriously, so my goal here is to make you lose as much time as possible arguing with me. =)
The more time you lose here, the less time you have to spread your poison else where. =)
@h4890
You're running already, seriously?! It's not because you realized that you've been wrong all the time, not right. It's not because you realized how ignorant and uneducated you've been all your life.
Sooo, might it have something to do that the #fascistic, #zionistic, #nazi :darthvader: perspective in your comments is shared by nobody??? Haaa?! That's no surprise for any sane person, but YOU. :linus:
Somehow, I'm almost worried about you as a human individual, since even bots tend to block your "poor, poor victim" soul of a #zionazi. Nah, sorry just joking. Imho Nuremberg should be reestablished for supporters of #warcriminals like you are. Can't wish you more luck for the trials, but bad one :ac_surprise: @israel@palestine
post-scriptum: Don't forget to block me, like most of your coward colleagues do. :ac_inspiration:
Running? I just find it fascinating that you keep sending a wall of text without any meaning. But we've already found out that you are mentally ill, so I should be surprised. =)
@h4890@gfkdsgn@israel@palestine Dude is grilling you hard in those "meaningless walls of text". It's some Kendrick on Drake exposé shit. Block me too, you delusional racist. Lmao
Another one? Haha, those walls of texts are completely meaningless communist propaganda.
As I explained, he is a mentally ill clown, so I don't even read his ramblings any longer.
I'm just interested in triggering him and you as often as possible to see how much time you will both waste arguing with someone who has already won the argument. =)
Yes, I would add the irrational. I can for the life of me not understand that that ism still lives.
It has been thoroughly disproven scientifically, historically and logically, so any rational human being should be completely aware of the fact that it does not, and will never, work.
Yet, it still pops up every where, especially in academia in europe.
Yes, maybe it is a kind of mental illness or mind virus?
@h4890@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn Disproven scientifically? You're clearly not a scientist (nor a historian nor educated in any of those fields). Now I'm a scientist and philosopher of science. What questions/confusions do you have?
Science and logic: check mises.org and economics. Nothing support communism, and verything supports the markets and capitalism.
Even the communist party of china has embraced the market.
History: Every attempt has failed. Period.
Some other points: Due to the inherent limits of the physical universe and how information travels and is processed, only decentralized decision making
I would like to speak up for Henry Hazlitt here. A little basic economics is useful, since people act as economic actors especially if they claim otherwise.
I doubt our dear leftist trolls would ever make it 10 pages into the book. It's very sad, because if they did, and if they understood the content, I think they opinions could be shifted.
True. This is why AI will take the jobs, is just nonsense. AI will drive down prices, make life enormously better, and make people have more spare time for their passions.
Only socialists worry about the jobs, because that's the only thing they can offer the labourer in favour of getting complete power.
Once the labourer is set free by capitalism socialism will be more or less dead.
The desires of man are limitless, I completely agree.
Sports, arts, crafts, just the experience of being served by another human, politics, science, literature, the activities that will still be relevant in such a world is endless!
I mean, myself... I could still fish, enjoy friends and family, write, think, I could teach, read, cook... I cannot see how anyone could be bored even with an AI doing all the labour.
@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn@h4890 Those useless people are called "the bourgeoise", since they take no roll in the creation or development of anything that matters. It is also quite common of people that study liberal economics, business, and the sort to have no real skills whatsoever. They can't do science, they can't do philosophy, they produce nothing of value, they merely tailored themselves to play the financialization and monopoly game, like the people that played that found their privilege by being priests to a church of fantastical imperialist cult/religion, hoping that they can appropriate the ideas and values of the far greater people and masses, like all the rich parasites that history forgot. Scum and blight in history that needs to be cleansed asap.
I think perhaps online economies such as crypto, or in game currencies might be as close as possible to free markets. Sad that they only sell pseudo products though, with very limited uses.
@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn@h4890 It is an embarrassing fallacy to presume that systems are standing due to the superiority of systems themselves. Imbeciles living in religious theocracies that lasted far longer than liberalism has and will presumed that they reached the 'end of history too'.
The truth is that the economic systems in place today are a facade. The US economy never ran on the merits of liberalism, it ran and always has ran on slavery, imperialism, colonialism, and exploitation. Liberalism is just the way to dress up said exploitation.
Anyone fooling themselves into believing that this wondrous garbage ideology is the reason why the empire stands today would convince themselves it's because their god is the one true god all the same. They have no perspective on the material realities underlying their fantasy.
There is no conciliation between anarchism/libertarianism and liberalism. Neoliberalism (or the laughable american fantasy appropriation of "libertarianism) is merely an exercise of persistent cognitive dissonance reduction in the face of contradiction that facilitates its idiot believer to assume the revolutionary aesthetics of anarchism, while subjugating themselves to the same hegemonic state they pretend to oppose in perpetuity.
@h4890@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn lmao this idiot thinks that mises.org is a source on these matters. What, are you gonna ask me to read the bible and Harry Potter too?
No, he knows what he is talking about BUT is fifteen layers deeper into the reading, thinking etc than you are so it is going to be hard to communicate what he knows.
The Bible is mostly borrowed from Greek sources.
Capitalism is Austrian economics. It describes how things work, and if left alone, drives prices down and quality up. Like natural selection.
"Communism doesn't work because it doesn't make profits for the shareholders. Also, communism is very prone to fail due to its tendency to have CIA backed coups".
Also add Franco to the list. He was harsh, but he saved spain from becoming a third world country. Many today are thankful for the Franco years, but sadly spain is deteriorating again, so they need a new Franco.
I think Franco was a conservative monarchist at heart. Based on what I heard he had a lot of respect for the king, and I would imagine he saw socialism as a threat to the royal family.
It's ironic that people are calling Israelis "Nazis" now, while conservatives are calling Democrats "Nazis," and Democrats call Trump a "Nazi," despite almost no one looking at what the Nazis were.
They were basically nationalist Democrats who liked supply-side economics.
So it makes no sense to call Democrats Nazis, since the relationship was most likely the other way around (although the parties were flipped then, I think).
It's an interesting theory, that the reason socialism keeps popping up, is due to weaknesses of the brain.
Envy is probably the backdoor through which socialism slips, and greed and narcissism on behalf of the socialist leaders. They exploit the envy of the working classes to satisfy their own greed and lust for power.
Makes you wonder... if therapy and psychology was "100%" would socialism die out as the human race becomes
That's an interesting observation too. When many young people start to work many discard socialism. I think another protection could be increasing the voting age to 20 or 25 to make sure you have enoug life experience.
Alternatively, only people who work get to vote, and if you live off the government, you are not allowed to vote.
With those two changes I think the support of socialism would be cut in half.
@h4890@israel@palestine@amerika@gfkdsgn@argumento@somekindahate3 Just saying when I wake up in the morning the first people my heart bleeds for is the suffering of billionaires. It's those who I would sacrifice myself to alleviate their immense pain. I am happy we agree
I would argue that libertarianism hasn't even had the chance to fix this.
One weakness of libertarianism is its inherent difficulty to organize. By its nature it attracts strong personalities and people who have more important things to do than to waste their lives with politics.
Contrast that with socialism, the most egoistic of ideologies, where the participants see it as a road to live like billionaires and having
the tax payer foot the bill. Literally their survival is tied to socialism.
Since libertarians tend to be productive people, their livelihood is not tied to the party, which means that usually the party remains forever small and will almost always never have any influence.
Someone, some day might find the key to creating a big libertarian party, but I think that for that to happen, living conditions in the west need to either reach soviet living conditions, so that people literally accept anything else, or some libertarian genius needs to do things a lot differently from how politics is done and explained to the public today.
True. I think we've been down this path before. What to fill the libertarian void (value-void) with?
Hedonism, epicureanism, stoicism, nihilism, etc. all valid answers. Some better than others in my opinion. This is also another weakness about libertarianism.
I imagine it is hard to only keep to the market, personal values will creep in especially if you act on the modern political arena. Since libertarianism does not
(in its pure form) care about those values, there will be conflicts within the party along those lines.
Nationalism, socialism & co have a strength here, since it is decided from the start what the values are, so they have more "harmony" in the party than libertarians ever will.
For me, it all comes down to culture. It is the absence of rules based on a common aesthetic understanding of how things should be for harmonious, orderly, and quality level of existence.
Culture is organic, thus out of our control, but we can wreck it with government or adulterate it with miscegenation.
Nihilism is in my view as a lifetime nihilist a gateway to understanding and not paired to any particular philosophy except realism. That is, it would be hard to be a dualistic or egalitarian nihilist.
Being a big shot on social media, means to write for the herd, by definition.
You might be big for the herd, but hardly original.
Nietzsche had a lot of interesting things to say on that theme.
So be careful what you wish for... perhaps being appreciated on liberdon or annihilation.social is what you can achieve without diluting or lowering yourself! ;)
They are very rare. More than performers, it is a question of composers.
I think Kraftwerk did very well. Motorhead was a mixed bag but did mostly well. Judas Priest probably did the best of all the NWOBHM, but Iron Maiden did not do shabbily either.
Some of the greatest musicians maintain quality output their whole lives, but rarely in heavily image-oriented genres like popular music!
Kraftwerk, Motorhead and Iron maiden, I like all three! Also seems like something common with those guys is that they tour and perform way, way longer than they had to if they were only motivated by money.
That's the point. Money was never motivation. It and financial markets have always a fake, artificial incentive that has always been counterproductive to the production of real art, as any band can tell you.
Not that that would reach someone whose entire identity is based on a laughable mythologization of bootlicking and a genre of music that rejects him.
Culture is a funny beast. You are born into it, it is shaped over generations, or perhaps even thousands of years, and it is very difficult, if not outright impossible to "change" culture. You can fake changing culture, but organically entering it I would say is almost impossible.
I have a weakness for creating my own values, and my yard stick is personal utility and how it fits with my own mental map of the world.
But note that my process might end up with none, or some of the values of my native culture, but with the difference of me then consciously assimilating the culture.
Has that happened? Difficult to say. Since culture is by definition imprecise and abstract, it is very easy to talk past each other on that topic.
I think the big point is that culture does not change except to become a better version of itself. This is why it is organic: it emerges from past experience.
And, for all of us, a lot of what is our own mental map comes from culture or more specifically aesthetics based in culture and therefore, genetics.
What do you think about cultures that died out? Do you believe in layers of culture? For instance, indian culture, underneath catholic culture underneath "modern" mexican culture? Or is it just one culture?
The Amerinds got pretty whomped in Mexico, mostly by disease but also thoroughly by civilization decay before the Spanish arrived. Much of that may have come about through famine.
Does Mexico have culture? It may have cultures, but otherwise it is just Amerind culture mixed with Catholic theology and Spanish food influences.
I think that would be more productive. If you don't, you risk ending up in the troll category, and then it is not possible to respect you and you will just get nonsense in return.
Maybe that is also a strength? You do tend to get more harmonius volunteer organizations when people can just come and go and leave when they are not happy? They start their own, fork and so on.
With the rules you get abominations like the linux foundation.
I think we do not need a nest of rules, but a profit model and salaries.
Volunteerism means that people do what they want, and then leave, and no one takes over what needs to be done.
This is why most volunteer orgs fail and why all surviving ones use paid staff.
It's more efficient and effective (!!!) to raise money to pay people than to use volunteers, UNLESS it's something very discrete like show up on the weekend to build houses.
@h4890@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn By the way, I don't know if you noticed that a fascist pseudointellectual metal wannabe came at your defense. This is time for you to realize who you stand with.
@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn@h4890 Eww, there's nothing worse than idiot low IQ fascists trying to claim Nietzsche. I don't get where your science and philosophy education went wrong, but you go in the bin. Lmao
@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn@h4890 Nah, it's not like you aren't within familiar categories and we're suffering from some sort of syntax error. It's more like, your shortcomings are evident and there's no way to fix you given your misguided commitments that make up your sub par, wannabe controversial identity.
He went just went silent. On the other hand, he had nothing to say, so probably he realized that he will save the planet by not writing here consuming the extra electricity. ;)
I have a strong feeling he is an environmentalist praying in the shrine of Greta and that would actually explain a lot of his ranting.
@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn@h4890 See, here is where you're going wrong. What you call "economics" is not the result of actual scientific endeavor, but it is a system engineered to favor preestablished privilege and unnatural hierarchy.
Notice the departure in economics from Adam Smith's theory of value, in which labor is selected as the basis to establish value, since it maps to energy transfer (work) in physics. Neoliberal economists have since eschewed this most fundamental scientific basis to the "subjective theory of value", which is based on the ability to maximize exploitation of underprivileged people's willingness to give in. The idea of incentives and subjective value is proposed as a fundamental maxim of psychology or "human nature", but this is not a maxim proposed by any actual rigorous body of psychology or sociology even.
Moreover, economists and the type of pseuds that promote this idea of incentives and human nature consistently ignore iron-clad evidence that demonstrates the basis for actual human incentive in FAVOR of protecting the preestablished economic system, such as how lower work hours, self-ownership, and abundance promote productivity and economic well-being. What they call "the economy" then does not represent the relationship between the society and its relation to its material conditions, but it instead represents the security of the hierarchy of power they have established. Thus, they create artificial scarcity and conditions to coerce its subjugates to its power structures.
Claiming scientific legitimacy is also a way to avoid solving the problems that inspired it, like the now trivial 'calculation problem'.
I think there are a few confusions here of different branches of theory.
Economics relies on the idea that people act in their own advantage, but recognizes limitations on rationality and information that are not equally distributed through the group.
However, economics explains group behavior rather well.
In pursuit of self-interest, people will pursue things such as lower working hours, but only if there are not other disadvantages.
@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn@h4890 Ugh, sure, as with all models of explanations, it explains some things, the same way that the geocentric epicycles system explains things with some (limited) power of prediction too. The problem is the underlying assumptions that it makes, such as prescribing what "rationality" means by making prescriptions on human nature and prescriptions on advantageous behavior.
If you have ever studied logic (lmao), you would know that using these prescriptions to justify the truth of those prescriptions is an exercise in begging the question (aka circular reasoning). All of these behaviors are better understood through a scientific lens in psychology and sociology, which better paint the picture of the "incentives" and axioms of value as an exercise in coercion and exploitation.
A careful examination of the ends of this exploitation reveal that this type of capitalist exploitation's main objective is the perpetuation of artificial hierarchy, and not much else.
Any careful Nietzschean, and any sort of moral nihilist, would be careful about these types of normative prescriptions hidden within language, but you're clearly none the wiser. Lmao
You write like every overconfident low achievement white edgelord falling out of grace in high school, but at least you don't sound like a hollow shell of a deluded lib like the other guy. Sadly, the wall does not care either way. Lmao
Aha, a point of possible dissent! I am in no way worried at all about any man made global warning and think the earth will end tomorrow. I believe strongly that we will not solve any environmental issues by going back to the stone age, and the only way to solve real issues is through science. Science will, in time (not tomorrow) help us solve all our problems.
Yes, people find me annoyingly optimist, but I prefer that way of living
over the self destructive doom and gloom of the masses.
That being said however, I do not like environmental damage and I do care about the environment, but in a sane way and not in the "all or nothing" way that seems to be the norm today.
Back to economic theory, environmental problems will never be solved until there is a culture which extends goodwill to responsible companies and ostracizes irresponsible ones.
However, it cannot be as one-note as "climate change," which as Michael Crichton pointed out, is just the heat island effect in a 60% urbanized world.
I think the good will already exists. What destroys it are corporate CEO clowns who try to play to the masses, thereby just coming off as hypocrites.
CEOs who practice what they preach have no trouble being rewarded by goodwill for decisions which might not be the best short term, but very long term good.
@h4890@amerika@israel@palestine@gfkdsgn <-- Notice how the dumb racist is too stupid and delusional to fathom the possibility that some of us have things to do and can't be using our time be responding to stupid, incompetent people online.
These are the people you're associating with, Amerikkka.
If you don't understand the "word salad", that may have to do with you being incompetent and an F student.
Moreover, how do people like you pretend to understand Nietzsche and not understand way simpler writing like my posts? Lmao The entry level for getting what I said is waaay lower.
