I agree

2018-09-20 21:48:53 UTC  

I suppose you have to look at individual acts to see if they are in and of themselves petty, destructive, and/or deny others personal liberty

Marxist theory states that people should elimate Greed as one of the things needed to make a Utopia, but it can be a motivating factor that helps all society.

2018-09-20 21:49:58 UTC  

NPCs can't stop being greedy

2018-09-20 21:50:33 UTC  

How did Marx propose eliminating greed from the lumpenproles?

2018-09-20 21:50:57 UTC  

Haha marxist video game where all the items are given to you but then you are destroyed when you decline giving things to others

2018-09-20 21:51:39 UTC  

The only good games that came out of Marxist countries were puzzle games.

2018-09-20 21:51:50 UTC  

Tetris being the best known one

2018-09-20 21:51:54 UTC  

Hey, what about Pyongyang Racer?

2018-09-20 21:53:10 UTC  

Cheep rip off of Crazy Taxi.

2018-09-20 21:58:01 UTC  

There is a trend I notice, people confuse, Rare or Unavalible with Good. EG the US Shooter communities group think that Norinco carbines are great (Banned in the US) vs the Canadian's views, (good-ish for the cheep price!)

2018-09-20 22:06:48 UTC  

From what I've read the only good product Norinco makes is M1A receivers. One of them plus a M14 parts kit can apparently make a solid rifle.

2018-09-20 22:08:13 UTC  

But yeah, it's definitely a recognizable phenomenon. I think they're called Veblen goods.

2018-09-20 22:15:43 UTC  

Yeah, Norinco makes M1-7.62x39, and it has some flaws, but it is desired in the US because Norinco is banned in the US

2018-09-20 22:31:23 UTC  

Some people like em here because there's a series that, when they wear down, can doublefire

2018-09-20 22:32:00 UTC  

Which is super illegal but hard to detect normally, and hard to prove intent

2018-09-20 22:32:07 UTC  

Night all.

2018-09-20 22:32:13 UTC  

'Later

2018-09-20 23:53:38 UTC  

Are there any games that work in a Marxist way?

2018-09-20 23:53:58 UTC  

Maybe Pokemon with exp. share?

2018-09-20 23:56:00 UTC  

Tetris

2018-09-21 00:01:24 UTC  

Can someone answer me this question. Why do people think that the Jews are behind the attacks on white people and western culture? Why think that the Jews are the ones poring muslims into the EU?

2018-09-21 00:05:43 UTC  

A combination of paranoia and envy? Jewish culture promotes values which tend to lead to personal success and therefore Jewish people tend to end up in high places. Doctors, lawyers, professors, scientists, CEOs, etc. Instead of trying to understand the cultural reasons behind their attainment, some people just assume that there's some sort of conspiracy behind it.

2018-09-21 00:07:48 UTC  

Look at the Bar Mitzvah for example. That's the 'coming of age' ritual for men in Judaism. A lot of cultures with male 'coming of age' rituals focus on some physical ability. Jews read from a book and do public speaking.

2018-09-21 00:10:04 UTC  

In order to become a man they must demonstrate both literacy and the ability to speak publicly in front of their peers and elders. They have to prepare for that ahead of time in order to not look like fools. So that gives some idea of what Jewish culture emphasizes.

2018-09-21 00:10:24 UTC  

Another way to look at it is how many famous Jewish athletes do you know?

2018-09-21 00:10:57 UTC  

Thank you.

2018-09-21 00:12:23 UTC  

Now it's true that there were a lot of Jewish academics that participated in early socialist movements, but that's because a) there were a lot of Jewish academics and b) academics have always been overwhelmingly left leaning.

2018-09-21 00:32:40 UTC  

I don't know. Jews are as white as it comes. Outside a couple odd holidays and traditions, it's almost impossible to distinguish a jew from anyone else. Ben Shapiro is Jewish. And Israel is practically a western nation with some weird idiosyncrasies. It is a difficult argument to make when the most Jewish nation is also the most locally western.

The left's issues (think Corbyn) with Jews makes sense and they are dead serious about the whole thing. You'd figure people would figure it all out and decide "the enemy of my enemy" but somehow everyone misses these things.

I think it's because the societal elite are disproportionately Jewish (though not so overwhelmingly they would actually control everything) and populists tend to blame the elites. Or the alt-right are being edgy with their Hitler worship and taking on the anti-jew elements. The alt-right does have a weird thing with traditional western culture, which wasn't too fond of Jews. It could be any number of these.

My guess is that it's 70% edge, 29.999% anti-establishment and 0.001% actual anti-semitism. Honestly, It never really made any sense to me. I do see where people believe the cultural establishment in the west dislikes traditional western culture (honestly, that much is probably true). Actually, the Jew hate it's very counter-productive. It becomes hard to point out how incestuous and closed the media is without people making nonsensical allegations you're some kind of closet anti-Semite (as happened to Elon Musk).

2018-09-21 00:38:07 UTC  

What do you mean by 'You'd figure people would figure it all out and decide "the enemy of my enemy" but somehow everyone misses these things.'?

2018-09-21 00:44:24 UTC  

I assume the alt-right is against people like Corbyn (this might actually be incorrect--according to the Nation, Richard Spencer has gone full communist lately). I also assume that the alt-right isn't too fond of Radical Islamists.

Jews aren't liked by either too much. You would figure the alt-right would want to protect the people they are mutually against.

2018-09-21 00:44:33 UTC  

But that clearly never happened.

2018-09-21 00:45:19 UTC  

ah, thanks. I get you now.

2018-09-21 00:46:44 UTC  

Also Jewish people do tend to stick together, and as many consider being jewish to be their identity it can lead to a certain amount of camaradarie which can lead to nepotism. Also by sticking together others view that as them choosing to be an "other" which means it's not too surprising(though not excusable) that some would consider this to be 'conspiring'.

2018-09-21 00:47:42 UTC  

I think if history went a little bit differently we'd see a ton of Asian conspiracy theories.

2018-09-21 00:48:26 UTC  

There's still time.

2018-09-21 00:48:29 UTC  

Asians are a much larger group.

2018-09-21 00:49:09 UTC  

There's clearly Asians who don't do as well. But again, most Jews don't distinguish well, so the ones who aren't doing well stick out too.

2018-09-21 00:49:32 UTC  

Much harder to make conspiracies about them controlling things.

2018-09-21 00:49:34 UTC  

That's a good point

2018-09-21 00:50:39 UTC  

On the other hand, whites are a rather big group and Social Justice is basically a giant conspiracy theory about whites (still) conspiring keeping everyone else down
