That's a drop in the bucket

the real reason Microsoft took off was they hitched their wagon to the IBM PC

Today yes. But in a time when a lot of people didn't have PCs at home, it was respectable

which, having essentially an open source construction, allowed a market of "PC compatibles" to arise which in turn spread DOS

public schools would have never had PCs if the PC wasn't so popular, and it was popular because of its open source design making it relatively affordable and easily expandable

And besides, Windows is better than gay ass Mac and Linux

DOS just cemented the software end of things by making everything work with everything else

Unless you're using Final Cut Pro

or programming in the terminal

IBM clients include the Social Security Administration and Nazi Germany

IBM serviced everyone

That dirty whore

Credit where it's due they were responsible for computers moving to PC platforms instead of being tethered to mainframes

So back on track, these companies usually come to major success with a wasteful government contract (often an old college friend or relative setting up a deal) or other government intervention such as massive tax breaks, exemptions, etc.

And they often die from overreaching government regulations

Compare the free market miracle of Hong Kong against mixed economies like France

Singapore etc too

UAE

Taiwan

well the UAE is basically the Saudis but they collectively decided to turn their nation into Disneyland

Brutal laws. But a free market economy.

Granted they do have oil

Mainland China is a mixed economy. But pollution is a huge problem. I've seen bigass hills made of trash, and in parts of the east coast you would not be able to see trash mountains because the smog is so heavy.

Country girls and south/western girls are usually much hotter because they aren't inhaling toxins every day from birth

There's pollution in California and NY despite their regulations

It's really just a placebo

I want to force my competition out of business so I'll make a deal with some dude, once he gets elected he will make some retarded ass laws that hurt their business, so I can gain an unfair advantage

They go out of business eventually and I take all their customers and buy them out, their facilities and equipment etc

the fuck are you talking about man southern women are fat as hell

I meant in China

Regarding their huge pollution problem

wouldn't know about that

Fuck I took a shit but my leg is numb

I'm back

the more I work out the more I dislike fat people

Japan is closer to a mixed economy than us, but Fukushima

I'm not concerned at all about Trump's policies, same shit, different presidency
Fact is that time's running out on the West, and that's the big picture

I could live in South Korea

I don't mind fat people who at least try to get in shape

Everyone who shows up to the gym and works gets my respect

or is SK "the west"

I can be tolerant of the older ones or those who at least will acknowledge they are fat

There's a fat fuck who shows up and works harder than everyone else

South Korea is the west

He has my respect

Respec

I disagree

with SK being the west that is

yeah absolutely no problem with overweight people trying to do something about it

my problem is the lazy bastards who don't

I used to be a fat fuck

and my 1-mile was faster than yours guaranteed

or the women who think they're hot while carrying an extra 50lbs around

because I worked harder than you

That's the worst, the ones who think they're models

well I'm strength training so yeah probably

Healthy at every size, more to love, BBW

Shoot them all

feminism is what happens when society fails to control its women

feminism is a direct result of modernism

Society reminds me of Judge Dredd

In the comic series being fat is considered desirable

they start believing they're fine the way they are and that they don't have to work hard to please men in order to be happy. Evolution and instinct dictate otherwise

They know it's a lie

it's part of the reason I don't date white women

Of course they know it's a lie
They just want to pretend otherwise because they want the easy way out

I've dated mostly white women, one part Maori, and two Asians. Married one of the chinks.

the #1 issue is women in the workforce not realizing that, when they have a career, they often cannot marry up

You realize that if you refuse to date white women that you've given up on the West right

I love brown girls

Interracial marriages should not be the norm.

But if it's gonna happen it should usually be a white man

Yeah I love Asian women too, but it's like in Infinity War where it's a treasure I cannot possess

Those relationships usually are more traditional and stable

Asian girls are the most real

though I got a soft spot for latinas

because the East controls their women

White woman and black man is 99% gonna be a disaster. White man and black woman, Church every Sunday

dated a black girl once, was okay

I've noticed that

wonder why

(air quotes)

I guess because black men have too much testosterone and are prone to violence

because they have African blood in them

they are displaced from the environment they evolved to thrive in

Beating the hell out of your girlfriend isn't exactly compatible with a religious life

Those who break those chains are considered the exception

I don't believe in evolution but I do believe in natural selection

umm

I believe God made evolution

In the ancient times I'm sure a lot of blacks had just as much potential as whites. So the more savage and less intelligent ones killed them

There is a large cave in northern South America where a small mammilian creature evolved over the course of three or so generations to not have eyes

You guys do realize that prior to about 1000bc Africa was *the* cultural center of the world

Whether intellect is genetic or not, there was no knowledge and ethics to pass down

Not really

No black African civilization has ever had an indigenous writing system.

Europeans and Mediterraneans had the ability to organize as a society. Whitey never fights fair - he grabs all his friends and fucks you up

Africans also partook in the crusades

he doesn't need to be individually stronger

there were African saints in the middle ages

The vast majority of Crusaders were French. The rest were English and German.

depends on the crusade

Turkopoles aren't crusaders and aren't black. They're Turks and they're mercenaries

yeah but I'm not talking about that

I'm talking Africans

North Africa had already been lost by that time

I'll have to press X on the idea that there were any niggas in the crusades. Well on our side anyway.

well, Dr. Basil Davidson sincerely disagrees

idealists often do

and considering he was one of the few men to pay attention to the continent when he did, and suffered major backlash at the time for writing on it, I give him a lot of credit

he did it to bring forth an important part of human history, even if it meant being derided by his colleagues

I think half their intellectual deficiency is hereditary, and half environmental. Note the exceptionally brilliant blacks like Ben Carson.

Didnt Albert have some music, he made?

Imagine using outliers to prove your point

I bet there was and is a lot of inbreeding in Africa and they passed down a lot of retard genes too

the lack of education regarding the subject is appauling

That's forbidden knowledge bro

Africa has an amazingly rich history and its current state of affairs is new

How do you fix it?

That's rhetorical, of course

I already know how

Look at Botswana, quite successful

https://youtu.be/JgpgDlCA_rA

You colonize them and force them to live in a civil society where they have no democratic say in anything for several generations. Your goal during this time must be an aggressive campaign to educate and civilize them

yeah that's how they got how they are

it's amazing what going in and completely destroying a civilization will do

Dude, Africa was, and is, a shithole

What are the demographics of Botswana?

Note 1 in 5 Botswanans has HIV

ok

The country speaks English and 4 in 5 are Christian

They didn't develop English on their own

That came from...England

how far you wanna move those goalposts

you wanted a developed African nation

their per-capita GDP is $18k

101st on the HDI

That puts them behind every white country

Behind a shitload of Arab countries, and a Persian country

Behind many Hispanic countries

Most developed African country was Rhodesia

F

Second was the old South Africa

"Formerly one of the poorest countries in the world—with a GDP per capita of about US$70 per year in the late 1960s—Botswana has since transformed itself into one of the world's fastest-growing economies. The economy is dominated by mining, cattle, and tourism. Botswana boasts a GDP (purchasing power parity) per capita of about $18,825 per year as of 2015, which is one of the highest in Africa.[11] Its high gross national income (by some estimates the fourth-largest in Africa) gives the country a relatively high standard of living and the highest Human Development Index of continental Sub-Saharan Africa"

Bahamas is more developed than Botswana. Bahamas is basically all black

They're getting their shit together

RELATIVELY high

That means it's a shithole compared to most others outside of Africa

"why are all these African countries the Europeans beat into the stone age in such disarray after centuries of war and colonization"

really activates the ol' almonds

They also have DIAMONDS

Dude why was Rhodesia on the same level as any European country, until Zimbabwe?

Does THAT activate the almonds?

because it was a colony being backed by international powers

Or maybe you've been mentally poisoned

same reason the Gold Coast was so successful

Africa had no literacy until colonization

that's absurd, many african cities were trading hubs through the middle ages

Well damn the white man for fucking that up

In fact were it not for African traders, the Europeans would never have gotten half the shit they did after the fall of the Western Roman Empire

South Korea was a medieval country far more primitive than the North, after decades of war and colonization by Japan

What are they now?

And we built it up into a first world nation using Ameribux

Germany was almost completely annihilated in WW2

because when we want a nation to succeed it will, like Germany, like South Korea, like Japan

China was invaded by Japan twice, the British twice, a handful of other countries also, fought a 21 year civil war and a Japanese invasion at the same time, saw two government systems destroyed, starved to death 10% of its population, all within a 100 year span. And look at them now. And that wasn't white man helping them on their feet.

You can't blame the white man for everything

I don't even know why you're here

I don't blame white people for anything, I'm saying there are a *large* number of reasons why things are the way they are

And none of it has to do with colonialism. Colonies all over the world have done just fine.

but to say that African nations are all dogshit because "lol black people" is ignorant of historical events

African nations are dog shit and it is not because of the white man.

Whatever other reasons there are, it can't be blamed on white people. Some of them have been free for over a century. Ethiopia has never been a colony to my knowledge.

Ethiopia was taken over by IIRC the Portuguese in one of the bloodiest African wars for independence of the 20th century

they suffered massively, women and children were burned by the europeans because they wanted them as a colony

Invaded by Italy in WW2

It was almost as bad as the Belgian Congo

Someone's been to African History class

I studied this like 5 years ago

Sadly you actually believe everything you're told

So have I.

I had to take the same shit in college too

I studied this stuff independently because I was interested in it

I studied it in college and independently

the only college course I took on Africa was a developing nations economics class and it was slanted as hell against socialism

Only I chose not to believe everything I read

Careful, your red is showing

sure it's not the blood in your eyes

Dear lord. Socialism=/=Communism.

Extreme Capitalism is just as retarded as communism.

One oppresses the poor with monopolies, the other with the government.

Damn Yangsgang have infiltrated most meme pages in fb

@Iakovos Socialism is the first steps a country needs to do, to become a communistic state

*clears throat*

In Marxist theory, socialism is the transitional period between capitalism and communism. It is the economic practice that communist states always attempt to implement, because communism is not as much economics as it is blueprints for a utopian society. Socialism, though it aims for utopia, is meant to still work in society as we know it. It is essentially a tool for equalizing everyone out and making everyone equal to one another through redistribution of wealth. Even though it is not communism, it is similar and heavily related

Socialism, however, did exist long before communism was actually a formal thought by Karl Marx, but that does not somehow justify or legitimize it

he simply took its concept, and applied it to his theory of how communism would supplant capitalism

- -

Likewise, extreme capitalism has not truly existed since the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Crony capitalism, corporatism, etc are forms of capitalism, but do not represent what is traditionally thought of when you say "extreme capitalism". If you mean either of those, then please use those terms instead

Extreme capitalism would be Laissez-faire Capitalism

As little government regulation and restriction as possible

Even though it did use child labor and other things we may say are reprehensible by modern standards, you cannot call extreme capitalism some evil thing, because it made life so much easier than it was prior to its implementation

Medicine, the standard of living, technology, and of course the inevitable rise in making rules to make workers more comfortable all came out of the Industrial Revolution's unregulated brand of capitalism

But most people do not think about that, they're too busy vilifying it cuz children worked in coal mines and lost fingers in textile mills

It's always important to keep in perspective the times

Every capitalism since heavy reform and regulation occurred is a mixed economy that is predominantly capitalist

Now, it may have existed in special instances that I am not aware of, but I am speaking in general terms

You forgot to add that socialism is making people to be depended on the Government 😛

that's the point of the transitional stage

the USSR isn't called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for nothing

I meant the capitalism we have today where the government is paying big bucks to corporations to do shady shit, and vice versa.

The thing is, we allowed that shit to happen though

Communism will only work in small, homogenous communities.

When people claim things such as the USSR aren't "real communism", they're wrong and here's why:

Even though it is in the socialist, dictatorship of the proletariat phase of Marxism, it is still wanting to progress towards communism, and is thus communist. If actively existing in a communist society is what made you communist, then no one would actually be communist, because that isn't possible except on small, homogeneous scales (with varied outcomes). What makes you communist is wanting to instill a communist society, and attempting to do so through any number of means.

Nations that claim themselves to be communist states always freeze up in the dictatorship stage, because there is literally nowhere else to go. It becomes stuck, because you cannot physically achieve the communist utopia. It's actually impossible. Most states experience one of three things by what I have seen. One, the country destabilizes and collapses. Two, the country simply stagnates and nothing comes of it except continued poverty, starvation, and other bad things. Or three, the country tries to turn itself around to some extent.

China, for example, turned itself around by embracing free markets to a certain extent

It still swears it is communist, but is has opened itself to global trade and has become what you would call "state capitalist"

Which is very communistic still in ideology when you actually read the definitions of what state capitalism is

The USSR attempted to turn itself around, that was the purpose of glasnost and perestroika

However, it was unable to fix the damage, and it collapsed

North Korea and Cuba are examples of stagnation

(also i'd say Vietnam is another example of it turning itself around; embracing the tourism industry, among other things, isn't working towards a communist utopia)

That would be corporatism and crony capitalism

Which, as I said, are forms of capitalism, but they do not represent capitalism for what it truly is

Which is a shame, because it is that misconception that many people have

Which is why so many people dislike what they call "capitalism"

Without understanding what it actually means

Yes, it is a very flawed system, I do agree

Government should not be intermingling with corporations

It is very corrupt

The Government, in my own opinion, should put in place very necessary regualtions, and leave the rest of the market alone

That's not real capitalism!!!!!111111

and there should be laws against lobbying, business subsidization, and other things

Tbh, the purest form of Capitalism you can see it from the age of Classical Era and Medieval era

You just don't understand what communism means, Amadeus.

Are you being sarcastic

The purest form of communism is the tribal age when everyone was exactly equal.

yes.

okay, just making sure

because i've heard that a lot of times, and it's hard to tell

Corporatism is capitalism, and it's the wrong kind.

There are good aspects to communism, and it is the best form of government in small, tribal communities. It's what we grew out of. Men hunted, women picked berries and got pregnant. Everyone ate.

i'm not arguing it isn't a form of capitalism, I am just saying it is not capitalism in terms of what capitalism represents

Small, tribal, and homogenous communities*

And yeah, it is. It's capitalism on the terms of which you write capitalism to be.

It is a perversion of the concept

No, it isn't

Capitalism is simply a form of economics where there is a private industry, you have the freedom of choice for jobs (as long as they hire you) and how you spend your money, and that you have private property

Anything else is an addition to the concept
