i think a lot of the communism vs capitalism questions are hard though because they will ask something like "should x be y"

2019-08-26 11:30:51 UTC  

when i think it's heavily contingent on the details of the situation

2019-08-26 11:31:29 UTC  

yeah theres a lot of these too

2019-08-26 11:31:34 UTC  

It’s simple. What would the communist do, and do the opposite.

2019-08-26 11:31:56 UTC  

or you know

2019-08-26 11:32:24 UTC  

there's a lot of stuff in the middle though

2019-08-26 11:32:27 UTC  

'well if humans were bees thatd work but we aint so fuck off'

2019-08-26 11:32:50 UTC  

like "should state owned companies be run in the same way as private ones" or whatever

2019-08-26 11:32:59 UTC  

i can think that they should in some circumstances and should not in others

2019-08-26 11:45:37 UTC  

Cease

2019-08-26 11:48:17 UTC  

caesar

2019-08-26 11:48:45 UTC  

cease, sis - seize the sin

2019-08-26 11:49:23 UTC  

Them Germans and the Frenchies
Put on Pluders and wear stockings.
Antichristian love they proclaim
And carry their balls in the open.
Mugs in powders and fondants,
Lice in their wigs, claps in asses.

might be my favourite song to translate so far

2019-08-26 11:49:59 UTC  

Time for some edumacation

Alright faggots

2019-08-26 11:52:45 UTC  

But what does it mean?

2019-08-26 11:56:11 UTC  

bruh, that linear history though

2019-08-26 11:56:32 UTC  

History is linear by definition

2019-08-26 11:56:51 UTC  

*multiple people are typing* 😂

2019-08-26 11:56:58 UTC  

idk

2019-08-26 11:57:04 UTC  

dont think about stuff like that very often

2019-08-26 11:58:07 UTC  

People argue history is cyclical because there are many elements of human society and behaviour that are

2019-08-26 11:58:15 UTC  

But I don't think history itself is cyclical

2019-08-26 11:58:47 UTC  

cyclical just means that it tends to move in patterns

2019-08-26 11:59:00 UTC  
2019-08-26 11:59:14 UTC  

Predictable, repeatable patterns is what it implies, June

2019-08-26 11:59:18 UTC  

Noone that says that thinks it's literally repeating itself

2019-08-26 11:59:54 UTC  

Nor am I arguing that

2019-08-26 12:00:08 UTC  

But they do predict all kinds of nonsense based on the notion that "history repeats itself"

2019-08-26 12:00:28 UTC  

a concept rooted in a cyclical notion of history would be asabiyyah for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asabiyyah#Overview

2019-08-26 12:00:30 UTC  

I would imagine this is what the compass test AA came up with was testing

2019-08-26 12:04:40 UTC  

similar to the ideas of people like oswald spengler

2019-08-26 12:05:11 UTC  

who posited that civilizations are like superorganisms that go through certain phases of life just as organisms do

2019-08-26 12:06:22 UTC  

I've seen many such ideas before and had similar myself without prior prompting

2019-08-26 12:06:38 UTC  

They don't have much in the way of predictive power though

2019-08-26 12:10:21 UTC  

i dunno

2019-08-26 12:10:42 UTC  

spengler seemed to think that the west would enter into a phase of pre-death emergency in the 21st century

2019-08-26 12:10:49 UTC  

based off of his theories
