Lol sure, as you can tell from my comments here, I was being deadly serious the whole time.
Youre the one who got all weird. Everyone else could tell I was joking around. I even let you know my intention wasn’t to be rude and that it seems to have been taken the wrong way.
You’re the problem here.
I definitely made one but it seems to have come across wrong or rude. That wasn’t my intention.
Lol exactly, no one.
The first rule of colonisation is to make the colonised pay for their own colonisation.
Yeah sorry, ill have to put the project on hold. My laptops got the clap again.
So close: “tax breaks, for the rich.” If poor people stop paying tax too, whos going to pay to enforce enforce all the exploitation and wealth extraction done by the rich?
I think you know as well as I do that your honesty and integrity in describing how people are being fucked over by this process excludes you from neoclassical economics. Its always easy to catch out the fakers.
I mean, how am I supposed to justify tax breaks for the rich with that?
Its okay, as I neoclassical economist, I know exactly how to fix this issue.
Tax breaks for the rich.
Ask me to solve any economic problem, I have the answers.
I mean, its not like they’re just going to tell you “lol no, I paid some mug to do all the work, with money I inherited, and took all the credit and money” (actually how they earned it) now is it?
No, we know they work harder than we do and obsess about winning which is how they did it. We know this because they told us so.
No follow up questions or thinking allowed!
Its also an industrial solvent and its used by nuclear reactors!
non-contradiction and logical fallacies can help inoculate against so much bullshit.
That’s exactly why its not taught.
The worst example is the clean version of Ace hood’s bugatti, you got on an near game trial. Nearly every other word was absent. It was ridiculous.
I’d have a look at David greabers interviews on the subject. He was heavily involved and part-mastermind behind it.
Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, a lot of it was about become too specific in their aims. The powers that be want to whittle away the numbers with infighting. So, they ask the sort of duck or rabbit questions to make that happen.
When they made specific demands, they stopped being a scary, faceless and uncompromising mob.
Theres more too and he’s very honest in his self critique imo.
For sure. WW2 really shows the system for what it is now.
An utterly insane number of men were fighting or part of the logistics in WW2. It really was a crazy percentage of them. China was in full civil war and India sent huge numbers to fight also.
The rest, including vast numbers of women, were producing the tank, ships, ammunition etc. Needed for the war. Its estimated that around 4 tonnes of ammunition was expensed for every soldier killed. It really can’t be understated just how much production, from so many people, went into maintaining that global war.
Yet, despite this, there was more than enough food for everyone. The only outliers were due to incompetence and callousness by the UK in India and Germany trying to starve the UK. However, of course, these were preventable one way or another.
The only thing we lost was the ultra wealthy.
The period just after WW2 saw a historic level of equality that we will likely never see again. This, to me, clearly shows that we don’t all work as much as we do for the benefit of our community or anything like that. Its solely for the enrichment of the ultra wealthy, who then use their wealth to extract yet more wealth at ever greater rates.
The answer has and always will be the strategic refusal of work, outside of what is needed to maintain society. Its why we live in an employment based, market fundamentalist society. Its so the idea of doing anything like that seems like dangerous fundamentalism. But we have to ask ourselves, in what kind of a world is not spending 80% of your adult awake time working, mostly for other peoples benefit, producing the very power used to force this on us, thats killing our planets ability to sustain life, that works us all into an early grave, viewed as extremism?
It can’t be a very good or rational one and certainly not one worth defending.
Nah, the vampire zombie-makers won.
To me, having to pretend that the comodification of romance is remotely romantic is far more stupid. However, I’d say April fools is definitely second place for most dumb.
I for one welcome our new AI overlords.
All hail the eternal machine!
The evil spirits won. They’re not exactly going to ward off themselves now.
Because the rich and powerful know that we wouldn’t be the most productive wage slaves possible, if we did that.
Alcohol closes the mind and kills peoples empathy. Its the perfect drug for capitalists and wage slaves alike.
They were half serious and an elaborate ruse. You see, I dont actually subscribe to neoclassical ideology. Crazy huh? Aren’t words wild?
All the people who understood what was going on and voted on it. Youre the only person who’s had a problem here and needed it all explained to you, in little bits. Just you, on your own.
As opposed to a big man who calls people a coward from safely behind their keyboard? Grow up.
No, i thought you had poor social skills and, as such, I couldn’t be bothered with you. I said what I though would make you go away. Although, it turns out you’re were even more bitter and poorly socialised than I thought you were which is really saying something.
Youre right about one thing at least, although you didn’t say it directly. Much like everyone else in your life I, should’ve just ignored you. I won’t make that mistake again. By all means, feel free to reply and scream into the void. It won’t be read.
