*activate rubin response*

I agree with that

2019-01-01 16:31:38 UTC  

the regulations should be to "protect the Market" and the People.

2019-01-01 16:32:03 UTC  

yep, ppl are already looking towards Germany's Mittlestand model

2019-01-01 16:32:05 UTC  

the problem is that "protect" as a concept can mean almost anything

2019-01-01 16:32:07 UTC  

The Example I always mention is the Geforce Partner Programme, that forbids the "Partners" to use the "Gaming" Tag with competing products.

2019-01-01 16:32:30 UTC  

Germs also give workers supervisory board seats

2019-01-01 16:32:41 UTC  

which keeps bloating executive pay in check

good speech. unfortunately going to fall prey to the "alarmist" attack by left wingers

2019-01-01 18:18:33 UTC  

^interesting

2019-01-01 18:18:46 UTC

DAMN SICK BURN

yo,
while i, and i hope most of you,
condemn identity politics,
i would say identity is still
vital to any and all societies.
I am not politically apt,
so please, if any of you are,
give an opinion I can comprehend.

2019-01-02 21:10:50 UTC  

identity is important to societies, but the problem is that identity politics specifically removes the individual from politics, allowing them to hide behind collectivist propoganda instead of thinking for themselves

2019-01-02 21:11:46 UTC  

Its a simpler way of looking at the world

2019-01-02 21:11:59 UTC  

that is not what i asked about.
i asked whether and how identity is of importance to societies.

2019-01-02 21:12:10 UTC  

Allows for a good and bad side to every issue rather than having to accept the fact that your ideas may be wrong or have unintended consequences

2019-01-02 21:12:32 UTC  

ohhhhhh

2019-01-02 21:12:50 UTC  

ah

2019-01-02 21:12:53 UTC  

Identity is important because it allows people to say that they are part of something

2019-01-02 21:13:19 UTC  

For example, as an american I can do pretty much whatever I want and be considered an american

2019-01-02 21:13:52 UTC  

identity is not necessarily important, it's just a trick that holds over from days when group thinking was much more valuable to the survival of the species

2019-01-02 21:14:00 UTC  

Because america is thought of as a melting pot theres virtually no issue with me considering myself an american

2019-01-02 21:14:29 UTC  

ummm

2019-01-02 21:14:50 UTC  

personal identity is important, but identifying with others helps you interact in the society without having to personally negotiate and decide every interaction based on your personal identity

2019-01-02 21:14:53 UTC  

If you go to a more restrictive country like say, saudi arabia it would be much harder to belong to that group

2019-01-02 21:14:53 UTC  

it's a shorthand

2019-01-02 21:15:40 UTC  

And if you dont think you belong to a group you are much more likely to be ok with actions against it

2019-01-02 21:16:28 UTC  

identity is not self-given
it is a higher concept to which people adhere
and it is not associating that gives you an identity
but acting / being based on that higher concept

2019-01-02 21:16:55 UTC  

If you dont consider yourself a black person you might be much more apathetic to anti black propganda

2019-01-02 21:16:55 UTC  

not necessarily

2019-01-02 21:17:10 UTC  

identity refers to multiple things

2019-01-02 21:18:01 UTC  

a higher concept may be the determining factor in identity, but to value that higher concept is self-determined
