yes

2017-04-09 16:42:43 UTC

but that isn't down to capitalism

2017-04-09 16:42:47 UTC

and it fucks people over all the time

2017-04-09 16:42:50 UTC

it's down to managerialism

2017-04-09 16:43:03 UTC

socialism would be considerably worse in that regard, for instance

2017-04-09 16:43:21 UTC

THAT IS THE POINT

2017-04-09 16:43:21 UTC

knock it off with the donuts man

2017-04-09 16:43:22 UTC

capitalism does nothing to protect against managerialism, and in fact prozak's aristocracy is essentially planning managerialism from the start

2017-04-09 16:43:30 UTC

IT IS BASIC HUMAN TENDENCY TO EXCLUDE THOSE WHO ARE NOT EASY WINS

2017-04-09 16:43:37 UTC

AN EASY WIN IS WHOEVER GETS ALONG WITH THE GROUP

2017-04-09 16:43:50 UTC

HOW IS GROUP DEFINED? BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, EQUAL RIGHTS, ETC.

2017-04-09 16:44:00 UTC

AND BY OFFICIAL MEDICAL SCHOOLS AND LICENSING

2017-04-09 16:44:05 UTC

THUS YOU CREATE A MONOPOLY

2017-04-09 16:44:09 UTC

AND HAND IT TO INCOMPETENTS

2017-04-09 16:44:17 UTC

WHOSE ONLY REAL GOAL IS TO AVOID INFRINGING ON REGULATIONS

2017-04-09 16:44:21 UTC

CAPITALISM IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT

2017-04-09 16:44:29 UTC

WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT: WE NEED MORE THAN AN ECONOMIC SYSTEM

2017-04-09 16:44:31 UTC

THEN YOU GET IT WRONG

2017-04-09 16:44:39 UTC

AND DECIDE THAT SOCIALISM WILL BE A PERFECT SYSTEM

2017-04-09 16:45:02 UTC

nazi socialism was great

2017-04-09 16:45:11 UTC

meanings are bigger than words, that's why you have to be rigorous with them and make sure you are on the same page with someone else

2017-04-09 16:45:17 UTC

until your favorite eurasians and homosexual tea sippers ruined it

2017-04-09 16:45:18 UTC

otherwise you end up arguing about the words

2017-04-09 16:45:20 UTC

and not the meaning

2017-04-09 16:48:37 UTC

The point with Mandarin conformity is that it was being built throug culture to work from bottom up

2017-04-09 16:48:40 UTC

not other way arund

2017-04-09 16:49:00 UTC

But Western mind cannot comprehend that, because Western mind only thinks in terms of mechanisms

2017-04-09 16:49:15 UTC

There has to be a working formula on how to generate conformity

2017-04-09 16:49:32 UTC

And if it doesnt exists, as it does not, then we will pretend it does

2017-04-09 16:49:37 UTC

Like psychology for example

2017-04-09 16:50:06 UTC

And since Westernism is all about joining the discourse and not asking questions, especially if they are concerned with long term outcomes

2017-04-09 16:50:18 UTC

Then there are apparently no problems

2017-04-09 16:52:32 UTC

People always forget how crazy things the West has performed in it's past

2017-04-09 16:53:02 UTC

For 50 years treatment of psychically ill people all over west was being arranged according to a completely insane theory

2017-04-09 16:53:47 UTC

they were being electrocuted and and psychiatriss all over tried to find out whether you have family inherited incestual sexual envy

2017-04-09 16:58:07 UTC

its not completely insane, that

2017-04-09 16:58:19 UTC

current psychiatry is just as bad really

2017-04-09 16:58:22 UTC

in some ways, worse

2017-04-09 16:58:41 UTC

current psychiatry is only good because it failed, so it doesn't attempt to contribute to the problem

2017-04-09 16:58:53 UTC

well I wont derail you

2017-04-09 16:58:56 UTC

then think about Behaviorism

2017-04-09 16:58:58 UTC

with going down that track

2017-04-09 16:59:27 UTC

It has to be the most stubborn and dogmatical surrender to worship of quantity in western scientific discourse

2017-04-09 17:13:20 UTC

Hey prozak, what are you going to do about the fact that under capitalism everyone has a cost incentive to undercut and to deliver the cheapest, shoddiest product they can get away with? What is your traditionalist capitalism fix for the fact that food companies are incentivized to feed you dyed corn syrup instead of food, because it is vastly cheaper? How will market dynamics plus whatever interventions you propose fix that?

2017-04-09 17:14:11 UTC

you're not accounting for the quality of the product delivered, what people are willing to accept, forces that act to enforce quality etc.

2017-04-09 17:14:16 UTC

why would a traditionalist state regulated by culture etc. not be liable to be sold 10,000 hamburgers that are half soy?

2017-04-09 17:14:21 UTC

de-industrialize food production

2017-04-09 17:14:27 UTC

this produces the motivation in the first place to compete

2017-04-09 17:14:33 UTC

scale down society

2017-04-09 17:14:44 UTC

make things smaller, cleaner

2017-04-09 17:14:49 UTC

yeah, the scale is the issue here, rather than "capitalism"

2017-04-09 17:14:49 UTC

less polluted

2017-04-09 17:14:56 UTC

so kill dalits until society is smaller

2017-04-09 17:14:59 UTC

seems legit

2017-04-09 17:15:07 UTC

you dont need to kill anyone to scale down society

2017-04-09 17:15:12 UTC

okay maybe a few handfuls of people, every now and then

2017-04-09 17:15:26 UTC

boundaries are important

2017-04-09 17:15:40 UTC

you dont need to care who dies or does not die, once you decide who simply *doesn't come in*

2017-04-09 17:15:49 UTC

that's why people invented borders

2017-04-09 17:21:25 UTC

SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS:

2017-04-09 17:21:55 UTC

"under capitalism everyone has a cost incentive to undercut and to deliver the cheapest, shoddiest product they can get away with?" -- THIS IS CONSUMERISM, NOT CAPITALISM, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CONSUMERS ARE TREATED AS EQUAL AND SUBSIDIZED BY GOVERNMENT. NOTE THIS ONLY BECAME A PROBLEM AFTER SOCIAL WELFARE SYSTEMS WERE INTRODUCED.

2017-04-09 17:22:03 UTC

ALSO REMEMBER MY MENTION OF CASTE SYSTEMS

2017-04-09 17:22:08 UTC

wait wait wait

2017-04-09 17:22:17 UTC

I'm gonna need you to elaborate and substantiate some of that sentence

2017-04-09 17:22:33 UTC

" food companies are incentivized to feed you dyed corn syrup instead of food, because it is vastly cheaper?" -- INTRODUCE DISCERNING CONSUMERS, AS ONE MIGHT DO THROUGH A CASTE SYSTEM. THE MARKET RESPONDS TO THE AUDIENCE.

2017-04-09 17:22:39 UTC

where is the government subsidy leading to consumerism, and how in your view is consumerism substantially different than capitalism

2017-04-09 17:22:44 UTC

MARKET DYNAMICS REFLECT CULTURE

2017-04-09 17:23:34 UTC

"where is the government subsidy leading to consumerism, and how in your view is consumerism substantially different than capitalism" = CONSUMERISM IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE EMPOWER PEOPLE EQUALLY AS BUYERS, INSTEAD OF RELYING ON HIERARCHY BY WEALTH AS IS NATURAL IN CAPITALISM. THE SUBSIDIES ARE ALL OF THE NEW DEAL, GREAT SOCIETY AND WELFARE PROGRAMS. ALL BENNIES ARE THERE FOR EQUALITY AND CREATE A CONSUMER ECONOMY.

2017-04-09 17:23:45 UTC

A BETTER WAY TO LIVE IS TO MAINTAIN CASTE

2017-04-09 17:23:49 UTC

KEEP WEALTH IN THE HANDS OF THE COMPETENT

2017-04-09 17:23:52 UTC

INSTEAD OF THE INCOMPETENT

2017-04-09 17:23:56 UTC

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING WITH CONSUMERISM

2017-04-09 17:23:59 UTC

IS SOCIALISM IN ACTION

2017-04-09 17:24:17 UTC

how would you do this

2017-04-09 17:24:23 UTC

would you limit who can buy and sell by caste?

2017-04-09 17:24:40 UTC

as in my discussion earlier, that the market landscape would look different if only people over 120 IQ could use money?

2017-04-09 17:25:13 UTC

so basically "capitalism works if we have better people doing it," which I fundamentally do accept, but how does that come about

2017-04-09 17:25:17 UTC

"the market landscape would look different if only people over 120 IQ could use money?" -- YES

2017-04-09 17:25:30 UTC

WE ARE LOOKING AT RESTORATION OF SOCIAL ORDER

2017-04-09 17:25:35 UTC

THIS INVERTS CAPITALISM-AS-WE-KNOW IT

2017-04-09 17:25:41 UTC

GIVE THE MONEY AND POWER TO THE BEST IN SEVERAL LAYERS

2017-04-09 17:25:43 UTC

KEEP THE PROLES POOR

2017-04-09 17:25:45 UTC

LIKE SERFS

2017-04-09 17:25:48 UTC

look, I know you have your talking points

2017-04-09 17:25:49 UTC

SO THAT THEIR PURCHASING IS NOT INFLUENTIAL

2017-04-09 17:25:52 UTC

THEN HAVE LOCAL LORDS

2017-04-09 17:25:52 UTC

I see

2017-04-09 17:25:57 UTC

AND HIGHER CASTE PEOPLE WHO INFLUENCE BUYING

2017-04-09 17:26:01 UTC

INCLUDING BY OSTRACISM

2017-04-09 17:26:03 UTC

basically confiscate money and only let elites have it

2017-04-09 17:26:09 UTC

ANY MERCHANT SELLING INFERIOR GOODS IS CRUSHED

2017-04-09 17:26:12 UTC

YES

2017-04-09 17:26:14 UTC

BASICALLY

2017-04-09 17:26:16 UTC

BUT NOT JUST MONEY

2017-04-09 17:26:18 UTC

LAND AND POWER

2017-04-09 17:26:21 UTC

AND REAL NATURAL ELITES

2017-04-09 17:26:25 UTC

NOT THE CLOWNS WE HAVE NOW
