in a metaphysical sense of course
Material expansion allows a society to have greater power than rival societies
nothing wrong with just living ur life
From an a prior standpoint they don't have intrinsic value as they're presumed. They're benefit derives from their use. In this context, capitalism =/= commerce and industry but something more specific.
you keep viewing this as a material expenditure due to your personal use
^^^^
a true capitalist reinvests in further items that generate revenue not a fucking material piece of shit brand name
@Mayor of Fashtown if you are defining your society solely upon its power and its material expanse then you are doing it wrong
there's ground for agreement between both positions.
So much this @Vanguard
@Moosey its not a zero sum game
there is a middle ground but its being framed incorrectly assuming that you invest buy yo nigga ass some ray bans or something
If we define the act of expansion itself as something to strive for then collapse is inevitable
From a philosophical position you're describing maybe mercantilism or commercial enterprise rather than capitalism itself though.
Expansion and acquisition of resources for the in group is the heart of nature itself
why is it inevitable?
There is a fine line between the natural survival need and greed
infinite expansion under conditions of scarcity is impossible in material sense. Not the only sense in which capital operates though clearly.
So what be afganistan?
Actually the white race specifically evolved to seek excess materials for survival in downtimes rather than live at bare minimums
I understand that empires have ollapsed, but is that solely because of their expansion?
Not only so but it is a major facotr
Living bare minimum day to day is an implicitly nigger mindset
not being greedy doesn't mean foregoing excess
Empires collapsed because empires are made of many ethnic groups brought together by force
Nations /= empire
Nation is blood and soil
Nations last, typically, until another nation fucks their shit up
But what is the delineation between reasonable excess and greed and who decides that
That is the fundamental question that we have to face all the time
>imagine antifa reading this chat
@Xeno the French FedNigger you into Arthurian mythology at all?
Ever seen Excalibur?
Antifa thinks all we talk about is cousin fuckin and nigger lynchin
I think the question of excess is a spiritual one
All they talk about is Star Wars and Harry Potter
But thats only when @badtanman is around
and it isn't just excess of the material either
@skooks true story
even when we strive to be virtuous we can be overly confident, or overly kind
