Trying to hold onto dying culture is inefficient and counterproductive. Markets and freedom lead to survival of the fittest, and inefficient ways of living die off. Opposing multiculturalism and progress is the same as opposing markets and growth.

Using force to revive culture is just as bad as using force to destroy it imo

That’s your preference and you’re free to enjoy it as long as you don’t force people to pay for it or listen to it

“Maximise profits” ie maximising benefit to society

Culture is just the aggregate of the behaviour of individuals

What

They earned the money, it’s theirs to spend where they like, they use the economic power they had to pay for things they enjoy

._.

Uhhh

People know their preferences, and if they don’t know their preferences then they’re not their preferences

Who are you to decide what is more refined or who are idiots

What

It depends what definition of liberalism you’re using

Passing your wealth down to your descendants is just another way people can express their economic freedom, it’s not special. Hierarchical relationships are only good when people choose to be in them, or are absolutely necessary in maintaining freedom

Communism means either the government or the majority forcing their will on individuals, to give up what they’ve earned and live as a collective where their individual desires are suppressed. You want people’s individual wills or preferences to be suppressed by the government

That doesn’t mean anything

Equality never actually existed in communist regimes, because they wouldn’t last one day if it did, they still had incentives but the incentives were less

You clearly don’t value individuality

If you’re going to make value judgements about what choices are good and what are bad, not on the basis of their ability to reach a desired outcome, then you don’t care about individual preferences

According to your preferences

The market will reward the music which satisfies people’s preferences

If they’re truly great they should be able to make enough money to fund it

By contributing to society

Who would have thought

Communism is anti liberalism

Communism enforces it’s own culture

Because I support individualism

And communism is collectivism

Liberalism created America

What kind of liberalism

Not really, I want lower taxes in general but not gun laws

I don’t personally want guns but its fine for people to have them as long as they don’t use them to kill innocent people

I don’t know enough about law enforcement, but if defunding leads to more crime that could have awful consequences on the economy

You think communist regimes didn’t have police? From what I’ve heard BLM is generally fighting for more limited government on average

Wow you guys are basically communists who hate the communist aesthetic

Communist revolutions = rule by violence = what you’re advocating for

Law and order is code for dictatorship of the proletariate

Better biden than stalin

So was stalin

Purging political opponents, more state involvement in everyday lives, sounds like stalin to me

Yeah that’s what they said about middle class Ukrainians

Before killing them all

I’m talking about dehumanising people for things like beliefs or status

How is killing people for their ideology any different from killing people for their wealth? It’s both governmental tyranny and will lead to the empowerment of the government, and people will lose autonomy as a result

Killing people isn’t a free transaction

It doesn’t matter who’s doing it

You could try to convince them or something

The majority of people in the world don’t respect rights, you don’t have to kill them you just have to make systems where removing people’s rights is unachievable

The only bad thing biden could do would be to increase taxes and restrict firearms

I don’t think he’s unique amongst politicians in supporting war

._.

I doubt biden intentionally raised hunter as a drug addict tbh

I think it’s certainly plausible that biden was involved in corruption

At this point does it matter? We all know Biden is corrupt, how will it impact on American citizens’ dally lives?

What is the difference between spending money on a failed wall or failed welfare program or giving it to yourself, the money is still essentially wasted

Hmmm

Antifa is the use of violence to target people for their political beliefs justified by the idea of preemptive self defence ie what people here argued for earlier

Groups can be motivated by an ideal

Religions are an example

The ideology of antifa necessitates a group rather than the other way around (ie they want to attack people who disagree with them so have to side with similar people in their local area)

Imagine parroting nazi ideas on an anti socialist discord when the nazis were socialist

Shark is between fish and jew

Oh my god

“Commissar”

Some Americans are racist though

Wasn’t che racist and homophobic
