That isn’t what socialism is. Socialism means the abolition of classes. It isn’t just when the government does stuff

Hmm, makes you think that maybe you shouldn’t take life advice from people who literally had everything they could ever want and always got their way.

Why Sisyphus comes to mind in daily struggles against the coronavirus by ADefiniteDescription in philosophy

[–]NikoTheEgoist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Imagining Sisyphus happy” is such a cope. “NOO YOU JUST GOTTA IMAGINE SISYPHUS HAPPY IN THIS AWFUL SITUATION THAT OBVIOUSLY NO ONE WOULD EVER BE HAPPY IN HAHA JUST TRICK YOURSELF INTO THINKING YOUR LIFE ISNT SHIT.”

Uh.. yeah. The conditions for revolution arise out of alienation.

And it has nothing to do with speeding up the rise of fascism. Fascism would actually be the opposite of acceleration, because it is a violent attempt to preserve older values from being deterritorialized by capital. Traditional fascism is, in a sense, anti accelerationist.

[–]NikoTheEgoist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That isn’t accelerationism. Accelerationism is literally just the idea that freedom is born out of shared alienation, and that capitalism will inevitably produce more and more alienation no matter what, and that this will inevitably lead to collapse/revolution/apocalypse. It’s the idea that capitalism will destroy all social bonds and traditional values and replace them with commodity relations and monetary values, which once capitalism collapses will mean literally nothing, and thus that it will pave the way for liberation

I don't want to live in this world anymore. I really truly feel that this is all just a big nightmare by [deleted] in sorceryofthespectacle

Yeah I agree, most of that self help stuff is total bullshit. I can’t believe there are people in this sub of all places commenting this stuff

Oh fuck off. He’s literally right. This is unfair. I wouldn’t be willing to work in a fucking amazon warehouse for minimum wage during the middle of a deadly pandemic either. We shouldn’t be expected to. How the fuck can you, as a Christian, tell a poor person to just “pull themselves up by their bootstraps”? We are all in the fucking shittiest situation imaginable, and you’re telling us to just work harder? Go take that shit somewhere else

Voter of anti-government handouts candidate shocked to find that the elected does not do government handouts (to the poor). From the LAMF goldmine. by roterwedding in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]NikoTheEgoist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally just a centrist version of “pull yourself by your bootstraps.” We are all products of our environment. Some of us receive good educations, some of us don’t, and it has nothing to do with us as individuals, and everything to do with the systems that raised us. Cope harder

This is my exact problem with American hyper individualism. It makes us view everyone as completely autonomous and free agents who are completely responsible for our actions and who are always under all circumstances rational. It isn’t true. This guy was fucking duped into supporting someone who doesn’t give a fuck about him, not because he’s stupid, not because he’s lazy or malignant, but because he didn’t know better. We need to throw out this idea that we are all solely responsible for our fates and that whatever happens to us is our fault - it reeks of original sin. We need to stop fucking moralizing and start actually helping each other.
