yeah i initially was refering to the drones when i said they really believe in equality, hence our disagreement earlier

Maybe not yachts; Mao lived a very simple life.

the upper people are totally in it for personal gain

drones barely believe in anything

The Kim regime loved their comforts though.

But the common denominator is power.

drones believe in "doing good", they just can't think what being good is, so they listen to what the preachers say

you see it yourself in those on the street interviews, they're usually 2 questions away from having nothing to say anymore

"good" is socially constructed; if their peers all tell them that whatever they are doing is moral and righteous, they feel wonderful.

What we have looks to be the beginning of the bolshevik revolution

Well, street interviewers probably look for the most retarded person they can find (though it's a target-rich environment at protests).

I dunno man. The Bolsheviks were born out of three years of brutal freezing slaughter and defeat in WW1.

I doubt it, Bolsheviks were like "dying" levels of poor,

Modern western world made people too comfy to start a "bolshevik" revolution

This is more like Weimar Germany.

Though not as pronounced of course.

I'm reminded of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYhB4AaAcqM
Obviously Aydin is a massive partisan, but she does a good job of covering the post-WW1 political situation.

Weimar Germany with a twist

nah, but from what i gather, this is a new wave of insanity,

As i understand it most of these radical leftists, are the children of middle-class people
They're the bourgoise they want to depose, and have never fought a war,

So instead of the uprising being the workers/the poor/the downtrodden

Its the rich, trying to use the poor as an excuse to attack the even richer

Well.. I was referring to the Politics of the area, The use of Propaganda to put a core group in power.

That's part. There's also a crapload of legit poor, mostly inner-city blacks, first generation latino immigrants, and illegals.

Although, I do not disagree with who is doing it.

well thats usually the plan with any group,
Use any means (tell any lies) propaganda, to get into power and then fix it so you stay in power so you maintain control

The end result is an Authoritarian system which has to scapegoat a population. In this case it seems to be the CIS White male that is going to be the target of abuse.

CIS whites are the new Jews

If you read (or listen to) Explaining Postmodernism it explains in great detail how Marx's class conflict got transformed into the intersectional conflict we see today.

I lack a lot of knowledge in that area, Guess I need to hit the books.

It's free.

It's on youtube as an audiobook.

And the PDF is on the prof's website.

Cool! Will look into it.. Thanks.

It makes sense tbh,

The class conflict got resolved in the west, once we got to the stage where even the poor can enjoy a life, without fear of starvation etc

So they need a new method to goad followers

Stephen R.C. Hicks?

Be warned that the first third of the book is really heavy in the jargon necessary to tackle philosophical systems. Might help to write down definitions of terms you don't understand so that you can refer back to them later.

yeah, that's him

Cool. Grabbed it. Free on Kindle

I still have a hard time thinking in terms of 'epistemology' and 'metaphysics'.

Also you might want to save the chart I just posted in <#398973785426100234>

Got it. Thanks

That is a rather odd graphic. Liberal Capitalism is modernistic and socialism is Post-Modernism. Guess I am going to have to read the book to figure out the leap.

I think its cuz Capitalism existed before 1900's
And Post-modernism is the counter to Modernism
So Socialism came after, and was the counter to "the top gaining all the wealth"

Liberal capitalism really got underway in the 1700s with the rise of fractional reserve banking. Basically at the same time modernism really gained momentum.
