So let’s talk trade and culture. Rolling with the Walmart analogy for culture neither America nor Walmart got to where they were because people didn’t find utility in it. If it’s not to your taste though it’s not like there’s any shortage of alternatives. Last time I checked the Bolshoi and Hermitage havnt been suffering from american patronage.
The alternative still holds up. Walmart has food that is trash, but the alternative variant is a) more expensive, and b) repressed because of lack of economies of scale, can't accumulate wealth and profit at the same rate as Walmart. If Walmart is to burn, the alternatives would be the next immmediate option.
Last time I checked, turning on the TV and looking at half-dressed harlots is cheaper than going to Bolshoi.
The public will turn to the cheapest option, so it is necessary at least for culture to turn the most preferrable option into the cheapest.
It’s hard to argue alternatives are suppressed where the market for theatre, books etc is only reaching new heights. I’m also not sure if we want people seeing high culture as their porn alternative and flogging one off to the Venus de milo. Plus I don’t know about where you are kaz but it’s pretty easy to get into an art show or amateur show for nothing and I don’t know how much more competitive you can get then free. Continuing to use the ballet as an example the line half dressed harlots and high culture is pretty blurred and certainly ballerinas have seen value in having a hand in each industry
Accelerationism isn’t about making the system worse. It’s about engaging the system into overdrive thus making it collapse.
That’s like saying adding a healthy mix of salt water and turpentine to the fuel in your engine isn’t about making your engine worse, it’s about pushing its tolerance limits until it breaks
Do I really have to explain to the nationalist server why a non-functioning nation is worse then a functional one?
There is supposed to be a better-functioning society after the revolution happens in an over-drived system. I'm not supporting it, but it's a bit more sophisticated than "lol i want no society".
lol i want no society
@CronoSaturn I don’t think you understand etymologies
@Kazimir Malevich I’m not sure how this is any more sophisticated then the delusional thinking of those that self harm expecting if they only hit rock bottom then they’ll magically turn their life around.
The word "revolution" comes from the word "revolve" for a reason.
turning things around.
So does revolt. Does that mean this train of thought is disgusting?
@CronoSaturn well bloody revolution is gonna happen to either way man like it or not
I’m exceptionally curious as to what basis you come by that assertion
Reality
Chad "reality" vs virgin "facts"
I mean it’s safe to say the majority of people aren’t really feeling good about capitalism and the current system
Capitalism is rad dude
This tbh
Broooo wtf is this
How the fuck did this even happen
Like what the fuck
Oh, delightful.
He has a great voice.
Lauren is hot
But for someone who is 23 she looks like someone old enough to be my mom
Honestly
@im in the middle of nowhere bruh it really isn’t. Stats vary depending on source and how the position is presented however it’s difficult to justify that the “mildly displeased” that the more pessimistic results present, even if this was united under a common front, would be able to garner the support or feeling necessary for any revolutionary action. This is again without any regard for the feasibility of any such action and relying on absolutely no solutions being presented by forthcoming administrations
Dude only westerners like capitalism
You’re kidding yourself
Oddly enough the United States is a western country populated by western people
I’m unsure how you feel this supports your argument
A little bit of both I think. I think we are born with a certain personality that makes us different, but we obviously grow and change as people.
