>subverted by marxism

nice scapegoat

*blinks* What did you just type that on?

a keyboard?

Not a scapegoat, ever read into the history of hollywood? Razorfist did a nice video on that subject. It's a good start.

the only real "subversion" is just that rival nations tend to support movements in their rival's domain that weaken the current order

Dear Arab, the improvements in question are the ones that allowed the west to violently subjugate you.

All capitalism? Nah

>hollywood

But then again: what even do we mean by "capitalism"?

and what is hollywood exactly

Well.. RL beckons.. time to hop in my motor vehicle (another improvement provided by capitalism) down roads with electrical lights (oof, another).

it has changed so much over the centuries

and it;s just a part of the puzzle

reducing everything to just some (general) economic doctrine is just unreasonable

this is just an appeal to technological progress which is largely exogenous to the system laucivol to shift away from the social decay that is endogenous to it

this is broad speculation

on both sides

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM You're absolutely correct, of course. An astute observation, unfortunately the narrative doesn't support it

stop being gay

capitalism might have been the key factor in the west recking the rest of the world

it may have been largelly luck

it may have been other factors

but it was certainly not SIMPLE a process

all we know is that it did happen

and it stands to reason that changing too much about how a success story works is ill advised

unless you want the success to stahp

it's already stopping

kinda

and also not rly

my point s

is*

Damnit, why'd you have to actually make the convo interesting Doom.

stop larping with radical alternatives and propose reasonable, achievable incremental changes to the status quo taht will improve stuff ur unsatisfied with

all else is dangerous and prolly dumb

Yes it did lift a lot of people out of poverty because they bought products and brecame consumers

incremental change is just driving toward oblivion at the speed limit

well then go die in a ditch revolutionary scum

I support the police shooting you when you and ur lot hit the streets
