yep, ppl are already looking towards Germany's Mittlestand model
the problem is that "protect" as a concept can mean almost anything
The Example I always mention is the Geforce Partner Programme, that forbids the "Partners" to use the "Gaming" Tag with competing products.
Germs also give workers supervisory board seats
which keeps bloating executive pay in check

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.
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
Its a simpler way of looking at the world
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
ohhhhhh
ah
Identity is important because it allows people to say that they are part of something
For example, as an american I can do pretty much whatever I want and be considered an american
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
Because america is thought of as a melting pot theres virtually no issue with me considering myself an american
ummm
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
If you go to a more restrictive country like say, saudi arabia it would be much harder to belong to that group
it's a shorthand
And if you dont think you belong to a group you are much more likely to be ok with actions against it
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
If you dont consider yourself a black person you might be much more apathetic to anti black propganda
not necessarily
identity refers to multiple things
a higher concept may be the determining factor in identity, but to value that higher concept is self-determined
so whether or not we value identity is self-determined?
i agree.
no, what we identify as or identify with is self determined
Identity as a concept is inherently valuable
