REQUIRES COORDINATION TO SURVIVE
arabs are successful merchants
they are not exactly impoverished
lol
i mean pre-oil arabs
STILL SOME VERY WEALTHY STATES THERE
prozak doesn't even know what he's trying to say, he just wants it to look like he's right and everyone else is wrong so he's finding a way to argue
EVEN WITHOUT OIL
he's ironically demonstrating my "conflict as default" principle
I DO NOT THINK THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL
no one knows what they're trying to say at the moment
RE: THE EUROPEAN EXAMPLE
I do
conflict is the human default and it's a symptom of dalitry
WE ARE ENGAGED IN CONFLICT HERE
OF A MILD, SYMBOLIC TYPE
HOW IS THIS NOT PRODUCTIVE?
is this position begat from "the devil is the father of contention" or something
not that we should all just get along and sing kumbayah, but societies with less conflict produce better things as their energy goes into figuring shit out instead of arguing/fighting all day
THOSE SOCIETIES ARE THE PRODUCT OF CONFLICT
prozak your whole fucking ideology starts with the notion that diversity doesn't work because it dooms people to eternal pointless conflict
WAR IS THE FATHER OF INVENTION
even you start from the reasoning that it's pointless and counterproductive
THAT IS COMPETITION BETWEEN GROUPS
the best conflict is ritualized and un-emotional
WHICH MEANS ONE MUST DOMINATE THE OTHERS
a method
IT IS ALSO UNDECLARED
WHICH MAKES A FORM OF "HIDDEN AGGRESSION"
it doesn't need to be declared because to the savvy, it is presumed
NOT IN A DEMOCRACY
PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED
BY PROMISES OF PEACE THROUGH PLURALISM
...what
a democracy is literally conflict as solution
THAT REALIZATION GOES AGAINST THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF A DEMOCRACY
"let's all argue about it until something wins, then let's do that"
IS THAT CONFLICT, OR COMPROMISE?
yes
CONFLICT WOULD BE DEBATE UNTIL AN IRREFUTABLE ANSWER WAS REACHED
DEMOCRACY IS WE ALL THROW OUR LOTTERY TICKETS IN THE RING AND WHOEVER GETS LUCKY WINS
