going to a “german” beer festival this weekend. im sure it will be fun enough, but thinking about what it actually IS is giving me a melancholy feeling. one of the last public expressions of european culture and it’s basically an drunken amusement park
@VinceChaos Austria *used to be* safe, before it was "enriched".
How so?
@Thugged Out Pissed Off That is a product of capitalism. Exploit any and everything to some corporate gain. Ugh, I sound like a lefty...
I'm totally for capitalism/free market, btw...but it can be exploitative and destructive to culture.
It's also plausible it's genetic in that the most impulsive passionate Europeans decided to move across the world to a savage continent
I suppose, but you normally wouldn't take many pictures with people you don't know
My love of capitalism is waning. Haven't mentally replaced it, but the whole KFC, Coca-Cola, McDonalds worldwide. FANG tech companies, etc
last year i couldnt count how many drunkass mexicans i saw wearing the lederhosen
feels bad man
Mexicans in lederhosen lmao
@Asatru Artist - MD totally with you. Capitalism is the best system we have even with some of Marx's legitimate criticisms. it cheapens things that ought not to be cheapened. Tinder and love is an obvious one too
new Germans tm
the mexican music inspired by the germans is really grotesque
they RUINED the accordian FOREVER
Capitalism only works when we don't allow monopolies and we're failing at that right now
it sounds like CLOWN MUSIC
idk what to do about those faults in capitalism without a huge cultural shift tho........incentives for that not to happen? idk im not versed in that kind of thing
@Thugged Out Pissed Off i cant be the only one who has asked this, but who is your avi?
Culture decides the market. The culture chose degeneracy when offered, thus the degenerate brands and items succeed (grindr, tinder, whatever)
yeah i don't know how to fix it, but we are quickly heading into a world of megacorps basically running our countries.
if we aren't their already.
during the egyptian riots a bunch of the people had hilarious improvised helmets, there’s a great gallery on imgur somewhere
Facebook has a "war room", Twitter censors political speech they dont agree with, etc.
@Nemets well, atleast he's practicing his culture and not bastardizing ours
or rather, degenerate services succeed in a culturally degenerate capitalist society
Small scale capitalism regarding small businesses and transactions between private citizens is perfectly fine, but mega-corporations are antithetical to a capitalist economy, therefore we should be more socialist when dealing with them.
creative destruction can be a good thing, but it’s still destruction
Hustler and other companies influenced our interpretation of free speech
and what you destroy you can almost never get back
Porn = free speech
Verbal disagreement = violence
Profit ???
BATROL PORNOGRAPHERS
too true.....the pure capitalist that still lives within me would say well you have the power to incentivize traditional values if you want. capitalism is value neutral. not sure if thats something i still agree with
it’s a rushing river, but you can direct it
@Thugged Out Pissed Off your avi is an egyptian?
Capitalism is = what doesn't sell, leaves society. Society buys it, it grows in market share and gains even more power
Thus porn industry, hip hop, etc
