hey guys, i'm new here and i don't really have any strong views of my own. i'm just here to gain some knowledge and insight ☺

can you expand on the notion of "merging?" what does that mean in this context exactly? subsidies?

no, i'm new here 🤗

can someone give me a quick rundown on postmodernism? why is it so closely linked with leftist thinking? postmodernist and marxist have become synonymous from what i've seen at least

not that i've seen much tbh 😩

@Deleted User i'll bookmark it for later

what would be an example of a value system?

ah ok

so was nietzsche a hack?

how come?

ty

can any of you young bulls recommend me some good podcasts?

Thoughts on Jordan Peterson? Psued?

*pseud

Thanks for clarifying

I have a question: would we be considered bourgeoisie or is that a term used for people that employ workers?

Ok

What do you guys think about financial analysts or people that work in finance?

So what you're saying is that as long as there is someone above you, you can't be a bourgeoisie?

What about a financial analyst that gambles the savings of others or bets on the livelihoods of others?

I feel bad now because I might study finance in school

so i shouldn't feel bad for studying finance?

what do you guys think about dudes that push porsches or drive bmws?

finish it rn

would bill gates be the ultimate bourgeois?

what do you guys think about dudes that own porsches?

what do you guys think about the neolib argument that states that opening up these factories in third world countries actually improves the quality of life when compared to what they would have been doing before (subsistence farming)?

but isn't that just furthering exploitation?

i get that but what about the moral implications? should a developed country seek to improve living conditions in a country even if it means exploitation or leave them as it be?

i think you're misunderstanding what i'm saying

the neolib argument is saying that opening up factories in a place like china is raising the standard of living for those working in the factories

@Ornament ok, i get that. but should a "developed" country then look to exploit more workers in different countries if it were to raise the standard of living for the workers in those factories?

once again, i'm not saying that they should. but the neolibs argue that opening up factories raises the standard of living in less developed countries

oops, true

yeah, the neolibs are arguing for more factories to be opened

so should they be opened then?

ok

@Garlic the Soviet said that it doesn't actually increase the standard of living but rather does the opposite

clever

don't stop typing @Garlic the Soviet

☺

what do you guys think about nk?

but weren't they heavily dependent on china for aid?
