This is a common commie talking point

I find the siege of Budapest very interesting. I was able to visit the underground hospital bunkers wher le the last firefights took place

is the term 'feudalism' inherently marxist or no?

2019-08-11 01:25:46 UTC  

"From your post, it would seem that you are interested in the shift in comparative economic power and enfranchisement away from landholders to capital owners. Or rather, because land can be classified as capital, owners of financial capital."

2019-08-11 01:25:48 UTC  

like wtf, lol

2019-08-11 01:26:03 UTC  

i think the actual definition is feudalism "landholders granted land on basis of loyalty to granter"

2019-08-11 01:26:20 UTC  

rather than "landholders granted land on basis of capital exchange"

2019-08-11 01:26:34 UTC  

simply saying 'capital exchange' destroys the leftist narrative, does it?

2019-08-11 01:58:35 UTC  

What the fuck are you on about? Lol

2019-08-11 01:58:43 UTC  

None of what you said makes sense

2019-08-11 12:01:16 UTC  

quite funny

2019-08-11 12:01:23 UTC  

white man comes, gives gifts medicine food, money

2019-08-11 12:01:42 UTC  

villagers become entitled, feel like they're owed more and more, threaten him and demand more gibs

2019-08-11 20:15:03 UTC  

human nature

@Fitzydog it was me responding to comments on reddit, which i gave in quotes

2019-08-11 20:21:01 UTC  

primitive peoples always have trouble integrating

2019-08-11 20:21:14 UTC  

same with any drastically different culture i suspect, integration has to be slow

2019-08-11 20:37:03 UTC  

august resents the guy because he feels he needs to catch up to the modern world, but that welsh man is the only way he can, so he feels like the welsh guy has all this power over him

2019-08-11 20:37:13 UTC  

it's an uncontrollable human feeling

2019-08-11 20:37:37 UTC  

imagine if earth was at the edge of the universe, and there was this alien civilization that was much larger

2019-08-11 20:38:11 UTC  

and some alien comes to earth and says, well all alien trinkets can only be bought with alien money, which is worth a million times more than any currency on earth

2019-08-11 20:38:27 UTC  

so the only way to get alien money is through the alien guy who comes to earth and talks to you

2019-08-11 20:39:05 UTC  

meanwhile, earthlings are fully aware of alien civilization, it gets broadcast on the internet, tv, etc.

2019-08-11 20:39:28 UTC  

there are successful humans that move up in alien society, but then there's an underclass living on earth

2019-08-11 20:39:44 UTC  

and you can move up if you have enough alien money, but the only way to get that money is through like one guy

2019-08-11 20:39:54 UTC  

and you can't afford a trip to the alien land

2019-08-11 20:39:57 UTC  

i think that's what i feels like

2019-08-11 20:41:06 UTC  

and say the aliens have a cure for cancer, but it can only be bought with alien money

2019-08-11 20:41:22 UTC  

your friends have cancer, etc.

2019-08-11 20:41:55 UTC  

i think that this isnt fully comparable

2019-08-11 20:42:00 UTC  

how so

2019-08-11 20:42:06 UTC  

the feeling, maybe

2019-08-11 20:42:13 UTC  

but the difference lies in how to achieve it

2019-08-11 20:42:32 UTC  

last thing you would do is sperg out towards the alien friend

2019-08-11 20:42:40 UTC  

say, in order to integrate into alien society, you have to give up western values too

2019-08-11 20:42:55 UTC  

like some cultural thing you value - eg. the new guineans value their rituals
