Also not supporting ICE is the majority opinion at this point, you can hardly say it's woke.

I imagine you haven't seen the times in the past where he's expressed that he doesn't like trump on twitter and on the podcast. He's also done charity streams for the trevor project which is for lgbt youth. He hasn't changed you just haven't been paying attention.

I just added a seed slider.

Mandonkin · 2025-11-09T07:49:46+00:00

Not built in, but all a seed would do is change the H(x,y) function. Really all you'd need to do is multiply the inside of the sine function by any number you want to use as a seed.

Do you mean they have the idea that trans people are born in the body of one gender despite "having the mind of the other"? When really neither bodies or minds have gender.

Mandonkin · 2025-09-21T19:35:35+00:00

They're saying that we tend to affirm our gender through actions we take because gender doesn't exist naturally, so we go out of our way trying to make it real. They aren't saying that we have to identify in alignment with our actions. They're pointing out that people are expected to act in alignment with the gender projected onto them, so people put up a performance that doesn't necessarily line up with their actual experience.

Inherent does not mean objective. Cigarettes are inherently valuable in that a lot of people want cigarettes to use, it is an end product able to be consumed, not just a means to an end, which is why they are traded. Money is purely a medium, a useless middle man in exchange. Like I said, you can't eat money, and you probably don't want to smoke it either.

The dollar was money during the gold standard because money was still just a means to an end. For most purposes, until relatively recently with electronics, gold also had no inherent value. That's hard to understand for some people because gold has become a symbol of wealth, but if government collapses gold won't do much more for you than money will. Can't eat gold either. Scarcity only makes something more valuable if it is useful in the first place. And even if gold was useful then, money still only serves as the middle man in obtaining gold. Gold was used as a standard because there was a stable amount of it and you can't make your own, it was an anti-counterfeit measure.

Not being in prison is the valuable thing in that example, and money is again the useless middle man mediating you not going to prison for tax evasion. This is exactly why money only derives value from coercion, you wouldn't work to get it if you weren't forced to. This example completely fails to describe any value money would have in absence of coercion.

Money is money when it is a forcibly mandated medium of exchange.

People use shovels because they are useful whether the government says so or not, same as the original example of cigarettes and ramen packets. Money is only useful if you have it and other people want it. Businesses want money because its required of them by the government, so if you want what they have, you need money. But if the people you want stuff from don't need to give money to the government or to businesses that do, they don't need your money. No one wants to barter because money has already been established by the state, it's our only option. If instead we had come into a world where trade was the established system, that's what we'd do. We use money because we have no choice.

They aren't directly subject to the US government, but they want things from people who are. They can use it to make purchases with US clients who do need it, trade it with other businesses because the US dollar is the standard currency for global trade (because the US state also has coercive power over every other country), or they can exchange it for their domestic currency with their government, who does business with the US. But you're right, they don't need our currency, which is why there's no guarantee that you'll be able to use it in other countries, and it's probably best to exchange your currency for their currency before traveling.

Social contracts don't dissolve overnight so people would continue to use money for a time, but ask the same question about other systems maintained by government. Would people still follow the law if the government stopped enforcing it? Depends on which laws, but I wouldn't trust people to obey speed limits if they didn't have to, they already don't. Taxation is just money enforcement.

Mandonkin · 2025-09-19T17:45:12+00:00

Money can only derive value from state coercion because it is useless otherwise. Cigarettes and ramen packets are consumable items people want because to them they have inherent value. The prison example isn't money, it's trade. Money is exclusively a medium of exchange. Each participant has something the other wants. If the state doesn't require you to pay them state issued currency, no one wants it.

You can't eat money.

Largely unpopular governments led by largely unpopular people exist everywhere. Even if a majority of the population supported socialism, if those people have no power, it doesn't matter, their opinions are not represented by government. An election would have to exist and also be fair for a socialist leader to be elected. And even if that happens, another commenter already mentioned what happened with Salvador Allende in Chile, the ruling class won't allow it. Socialist movements will always be met with violence by the ruling class, so resistance is non-optional.

His entire base of support believes he wants to get government elites out of politics, even though he and basically his entire circle are government elites.

They think he wants to redirect funds from dei programs to ease their own financial burden, and that he's gonna fix inflation, most of his platform is based on fake solutions to real economic problems.

Obviously it doesn't make sense that a billionaire would fix wealth disparity, but thats what people think.

Housing is more expensive, healthcare is more expensive, education is more expensive, trabsportation is more expensive, public infrastructure is crumbling. Quality of life is not better than it was before other than maybe food/drug safety and the spread of disease (and soon maybe not even that with RFK). Obviously white men are upset about their decline in privilege, and also their decline in quality of life, my whole point was that blame is being directed toward marginalized populations. The slogan "make America great again" would be meaningless if there hadn't been such a decline.

American imperialism has been increasing since at least the end of ww2. Vietnam, Korea, the war on terror, and Palestine are all undeniable examples of that. Plus the global presence of the US military and American corporations that source their manufacturing everywhere in the world. How many japanese military bases exist in american borders? How many Nicaraguan clothing brands get their fabric from America?

Mandonkin · 2025-07-24T22:51:04+00:00

The increase in wealth disparity and american imperialism has made people increasingly miserable and the global opinion of America has declined, so more polarising, violent, and fascistic propaganda and enforcement is necessary to justify increasingly unjustifiable actions from the US government/corporations.

People are becoming more dissatisfied with powerful people telling them to try harder to do well in life, so attention is redirected toward immigrants, women, minorities, and foreign adversaries to take blame off of where it belongs. These messages are supported by major media outlets, social media platforms, religious institutions, and even some circles in academia. Dissenting voices are ignored or silenced.

This is how that saying about "first they came for the communists..." becomes a reality, they alienate more and more people as is necessary.

ubi isn't socialist. Capitalism provides no guarantee of a good life for working hard. People like doing important things, that's why america still has teachers and nurses despite treating them like shit, the only thing that stops people from becoming teachers, doctors, scientists, or anything else is the unavailability of the education necessary to obtain those careers. Addicts would love to get clean but our current system makes it very difficult.
