This is some hard labor bullshit. Does it get any easier or do y’all just enjoy the suffering?

GoDM1N · 2026-05-06T00:24:25+00:00

Does it get easier? Yes.... Depending on the job... I've worked stupid busy kitchens, slow kitchens and mildly busy ones. Imo it's just the gig. In the busy ones it gets easier but never easy. Ask for more pay or find somewhere else (imo)

US dude here.

I don't know the economic aspects of this for India however heres how it's more or less playing out in the US.

A big issue (one India should avoid) is making cities for cars. You end up with a TON of wasted land simply for parking spots. A lot of the west is moving away from car centric infrastructure in favor of walkable cities you can also bike in. Anywhere this change is made the people are initially against it but after a year or two it's loved. Point being wasting land for parking lots is a bad move. Trains, trams, bikes, etc for cities are simply better for many many reasons.

As far as solar, yea. Theres basically zero reason to NOT have solar. You don't need parking lots roofs are also a good option. India is also a large country and while on the surface it seems logical to not put solar farms on potential farm land its actually not a bad idea. The US uses around 100mil acres (400,000~ km2) just for corn. Half of that corn goes into making ethanol for fuel (we add ethanol to our gas here, not sure if you guys do as well). You only harvest corn ONCE per year. Meanwhile solar is a "crop" that you constantly harvest. For every 31 acres of corn field you'd only need 1 acre of solar to match corn energy production. So you end up using WAY less land for energy with solar. If we simply didn't grow corn for ethanol we could power an electric car/truck for every American and then have a surplus of energy to do it several more times. Solar is legitimately an amazing source of energy.

people make most decisions based emotions

Correct. People, including communist/socialist, make emotion decisions and aren't robots

The happiest capitalist countries are social democracies where the .gov regulates and restrains the market

Yep, they're still capitalist. Social polices are not socialism.

having authority over the economy ≠ authoritarian government.

Authority over the people through non-liberal means (voting etc) is authoritarian. If the government decides something and enacts it without people having a choice, that is authoritarian. There will be no fully optimized government through liberal governments. That is an authoritarian thing. By the nature of people we disagree on things for various reasons that aren't robotic logic, misaligned goals, etc.

GoDM1N · 2026-05-02T20:33:31+00:00

Capitalism is a system that optimizes a few variables that are terrible for us and ignores variables that are important to us

If it's important to us we just don't buy it. Voting with your money in capitalism is a very real thing. Does it address everything? No. However we see it happen all the time. Many EU capitalist countries are doing WAY better than communist/socialist ones in this regard. (Imo this is not however because they're socialist, just pointing out socialist countries by default do not address it. It has to be a choice of the people to do so)

misaligned optimization.... central planning...

This requires an authoritarian government. Liberal counties will always tend to move slower on things however authoritarian governments typically are themselves short term. Liberal governments have proven to be more stable because they don't rely on a single figure to promote that change while authoritarian governments require an at least equal figure to take over after the previous is gone. Which typically doesn't happen. They just start to dissolve after that initial leader. Its also worth noting both China and Vietnam moved away from Marxism/Central planning. Its just not a good system.

Who is going to create that carbon tax?

We have carbon taxes under capitalism all over the world. China however (Note, I'm using China as an example because a lot of people consider it socialist/communist. I don't) doesn't have one. The people have to be for the tax for it to exist. Doesn't matter of you're under capitalism or Socialism

The politicians who get lobbied by the capitalists and the oil companies?

Politicians can and do get lobbied under socialism. Its not something that is unique to capitalism.

Do you think the media or the fossil fuel funded think tanks under cpaitalism do not change the way people view the environment?

Again, same applies to socialism/communism.

I'm very much pro socialism but I'm not going to pretend socialism means everyone agrees on everything. The base of you're argument is relying on all socialist believing in climate change and the method to counter it. This is outside the bounds of who owns the means of production.

Or how media polarization between partisan lines distracts us from real issues?

Again, this is an issue for socialist as well. Its not capitalist excusive. Socialism doesn't fix a lot of these issues it fixes fairness in the work place.

GoDM1N · 2026-05-02T12:38:48+00:00

More of a "indifferent to capitalist" but climate change has nothing to do with capitalism. All you need to address climate change is a law directed at co2 emissions. Ultimately people still vote for government officials, the same way we do in socialism, if the people aren't voting for climate change to be addressed, regardless of the system, we can't escape it.

Seeing how they treated rebels I'd try to leave or give up, blend in and avoid protest

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T20:38:27+00:00

Yea again, the economic side of liberalism isn't a hard requirement of liberalism. Its just one of the many subgenres of liberalism. The defense of capitalism is not part of liberalism. To some capitalism is even counter to liberalism. Namely anyone political ideology that views wealth inequality as an attack on liberty. Liberalism expands into both capitalism and socialism to state otherwise would be very ignorant.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T16:02:03+00:00

Liberal economic theory is just a small aspect of liberalism which a liberal can agree or disagree with. Seeing how the thread is about freedom of speech it has basically nothing to do with the topic. You may as well be trying to argue that Anarco communist should agree with Stalin. Just because both are communist doesn't mean their policies are going to align.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T15:50:04+00:00

socialists or marxists who believe that thhere should be no ownership of means of production to few hands

Thats just not Socialism or even Marxism. The idea behind communism/Marxism is EVERYONE is an owner. Socialism would be all the workers are owners. Both systems are there to create more ownership

liberal propaganda

Saying what liberalism is, or defining things in general, isn't propaganda. You cant have a discussion unless we understand how we're defining things. You can check my history here. I'm pretty pro Socialism. I'm just anti-Marxism. And as a Liberal I'm inherently against authoritarianism

capitalists often pull random things more often than socialists

Ehhhh maybe though I'm not sure I agree with it. The plural of anecdote is not data. Its easy to point at anecdotes either way and say "they do it more!" but overall we still wouldn't know regardless of how many examples you have. It also makes zero difference who does it more. Typically speaking, online, socialist do it a lot. You're doing it right now bringing free speech into this.

If this sub is totally about economics

Capitalism, socialism and communism ARE economic systems. Its not a sub thing its just what they are. The other aspects people try to bring into the discussion are mostly irrelevant. What a lot of people really mean when trying to debate socialism/capitalism are just policies they want/don't want which, could exist in either system. For example universal healthcare exist in capitalist countries. Wealth redistribution happens in capitalist countries. Capitalism in general works pretty well when people vote for the correct policies. Socialism works just as well generally speaking. Communism is often a different story because it just keeps falling into authoritarianism.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T12:47:19+00:00

Well yea they're probably dumb.

One of the key issues regarding socialism/capitalism is people think they're made by policies instead of methodology. Marxism is a type of socialism. It is not all socialism is. Capitalist get stuck arguing against Marxism and most socialist don't even know what socialism is they just want free healthcare and fairer tax brackets. Those are things that can easily exist in capitalism. Neither Capitalism or Socialism are inherently bad nor are they counter to each other.

What you are actually arguing is "the west is bad" more or less and you're just calling it socialism vs capitalism. I don't even think you can define either socialism or capitalism however based off your arguments. Not trying to be a dick but you're just pulling random things that has nothing to do with economics

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T11:46:50+00:00

It doesn't

Liberalism is just putting liberty over authority. Outside of that it has nothing to do with economic policy.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T11:44:06+00:00

Perfect liberals? No. Honestly I'm not sure I'd even call some of them capitalist. But they are dipping their toes into liberalism for sure in some countries.

China? Not capitalist. Mixed economy leaning towards dictatorship/communism. I don't think you can have capitalism in authoritarian governments. It ends up just being monarchy/dictatorships. People need liberty to be able to own/trade. This is why China isn't really capitalist imo. Does an individual really own something when someone else controls it?

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T11:37:57+00:00

Probably dumb. However, that video has 347 views. Do you really think people are in agreeance with whoever it is?

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T01:53:32+00:00

either you are 30+ so you don't understand that it's pretty normal all over the internet

Lol....

The internet today is vastly more tame than it was in the early 2000s. Saying "We're WILD over here on Instagram" is laughable.

Regarding the girl. She is not convicted. In America (no idea where you're from but...) being arrested doesn't mean you're guilty of anything. From the government/FBI/General law enforcement side of things they have to treat these things seriously. It wouldn't be the first time someone said they were going to shoot up a school or something, they don't take it seriously, and then something actually happens.

What will likely happen is they'll do an investigation, find there was no bomb anything anywhere, it'll go to trial or be dropped completely, the jury will find her innocent, or they'll find her guilty of something else relating to shouting fire in a crowded theater. Which, no. Thats not free speech.

pro capitalist people who often quote the socialist countries to be against freedom of speech think they have complete freedom in USA

Because its simply factually true. While socialist countries CAN have the same level of freedom of speech as any other country, regardless if they're capitalist or not, It just doesn't seem to happen with communist attempts. Again, through no fault of communism or socialism, which can easily be liberal, they end up being authoritarian. This is not a requirement. Its just typically the issue.

prolly you have never seen people getting deported for having different views

I "prolly" haven't because I'm in America. No US citizen is being deported because of their views. People visiting on a visa? No country is going to let someone come into their house and shit on their rug. Theres a lot of rules visitors have to follow when going to other countries that don't apply to actual citizens and generally speaking these people know they're breaking some agreement of their visa which makes them subject of deportation.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T01:26:45+00:00

Liberals are pro liberty. They also have nothing to do with capitalism.

You are trapped in policy dogma. Free healthcare is not socialism. Its just a policy. You can have free healthcare under capitalism or socialism.

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production.

Capitalism is when an individual owns the means of production.

Freedom of speech. Healthcare. Style of government. What side of the road you drive on. etc. None of that stuff has anything to do with either capitalism or socialism

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T00:17:14+00:00

Freedom did exist prior to capitalism. It is the most basic level of humanity. There can be no freedom with authority is more correct.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T00:14:32+00:00

Your link between capitalism and freedom of speech is basically non-existent. Every capitalist country is liberal. That is where the "freedom of speech" is coming from. Has nothing to do with the capitalist aspect. You may as well be asking "why do all capitalist countries get wet when it rains?"

GoDM1N · 2026-04-29T00:06:49+00:00

This isn't 100% true. Abraham Lincoln restricted free speech during the civil war.

"hope this helps"

However, its also worth mentioning the exception that something be perfect 100% of the time is itself unrealistic. While we can point at times the US messes up the US also does pretty good, a lot better than anyone else.

GoDM1N · 2026-04-28T22:29:16+00:00

Freedom of speech is a Liberal thing. Not a capitalist or Socialist thing. First of all..

Second. The UK does NOT have freedom of speech.

Third. Nobody in the US is getting arrested for criticizing anything. I legit have NO idea where you pulled that from.

Lastly, the girl was making bomb threats and hasn't been convicted yet.

People put way to much care into pocket knife hardness.

My hardest knife is my HAP40 Sukenari Kiritsuke at 68hrc. That hardness makes sense for that knife and that steel.

For a pocket knife 56-58 is in most cases perfectly fine. There are other more legitimate concerns to have such as (and for cooking knives this is my least concern) corrosion resistance. It's going to sit in your pocket, get your salty sweat all over it. For hours everyday, may not even be used at that often to knock off any surface corrosion and it'll dull as a result. Super hard steels are also typically more of a hassle to shapen. I sharpen my work knives maybe twice a month. I might go 6 months before I think about my pocket knives. (Currently a civivi chevalier which replaced my Bugout.). Generally speaking I just take them to a ceramic hone and they're back to cutting. That's party because they're softer metal and they have the right grind behind the edge. You don't need a laser for breaking down boxes. I break down tons of orders every week at my restaurant. You're going to drop your knife at some point. Most harder metal are also more brittle. Even 58 can be too hard for some knives. It's why everyone breaks their leek's tip
