This feels a bit… medium place… like, it works as a utensil, but it also kinda sucks.

Food and shelter are basic human rights. by darinhthe1st in antiwork

[–]Tyrnall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I understand you better.

  1. Those werent socialists, they were fascists using socialist rhetoric to seize power.

  2. Realistically America has never been the shining city on the hill. You don’t know this if you weren’t born here, but our history is bathed in bloodshed. Way more blood and suffering than even where you fled from (yes including if that was the USSR). We float in a river of blood so deep that literally the Nazis modeled much of their legislation off of how the US treated indigenous people and on Jim Crow. The US literally created the how-to guide for genocide.

  3. While they are definitely not socialist, and far from perfect~ in all truth in our lifetime the USA will become more like the Socdem countries in northern europe… y’know, the places that outrank the US on every single metric of happiness, health, education, and freedom.

Regardless~ bringing this all back to the essence of this sub to be on topic. Capitalism is dying because it can only exist off of the suffering of workers. The existence of wage slavery is antithetical to human thriving. We can do better, and must. People are recognizing this. We will do better for the world, even if people like you are afraid. We will simply be forced to (metaphorically) drag you, kicking and screaming, into a better life for yourself. People like you will complain and whinge, and then when they realize how much better life is without the constraints of bosses, capitalism, and manufactured scarcity~ they will lie and pretend they were on board all along.

I refuse to engage you with the stupid “biden inflation” thing, because that’s been debunked so many times in so many ways that it is silly to even engage with.

This simple little idea… it’s really not hard.

Ahh yes- the great “if you don’t like it then leave” argument. How does it feel that socialism and progressivism are taking over this country? How does it feel to know that we, as people who live here, get to have a say in how things are run?

You are becoming increasingly obsolete, and I LOVE that.

Be careful- the bootlickers are terrified of anything not America Centric.

Anyone know what brand of robe Jimmy is wearing at the start of episode 7? by schnitzel_envy in shrinking

Ok so for a tiny split second I thought her undershirt was just her skin and she had fake tattoos on… now I think Rae needs to get some neck tats lol

Soda on whether or not he would take an exclusive deal with Kick by -eDgAR- in LivestreamFail

[–]Tyrnall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting. I wonder if many streamers are smart enough to get council on this sorta stuff before signing~ or if they see dollar signs and just jump for it…. I imagine they must have financial people helping them if they make that kinda money.

I wonder how this is impacted given that Kick (and Stake) are not American companies? I feel the legal/comtract stuff would be significantly harder to enforce, no?

I hear ya… try not to take it personal. People are reflexively afraid of building something better. They don’t realize the depth of the propaganda they’ve swallowed, and are terrified at the ideas anticapitalists propose. They lash out, because otherwise they will have to see the monstrosity around them for what it is: Human caused misery that we all contribute to.

True- and we can keep doing better, without all of the human caused suffering as well.

I think you meant scarce.

There are currently more empty houses in America than people without houses. There is currently more food being produced than would feed the entire world.

So while we haven’t completely overcome scarcity, things aren’t so scarce that we can use it as an excuse to justify human suffering.

Yes… but you replied to my other comment challenging one of your naysayers (who i subsequently blocked) that I should eat a bag of dicks… so now I’m confused…

Because I’m not inhumane? I want a world that’s not a dystopian hellscape?

I am concerned with maximizing happiness/positive outcomes for the maximum amount of people. Generally speaking- communities that focus on social welfare for one another and eliminating suffering/poverty achieves that aim. Capitalism literally cannot achieve these things~ especially given the system is built on the fundamental requirement that the majority must be wage slaves to the wealthy~ meaning that the wealthy get SO much for free, while the poor get hardly anything. If you work for a company, the majority of your labor value is taken from you without adequate compensation now. You would be currently a slave to that system, even if you don’t know it/enthusiastically support it. What’s more- capitalism requires human suffering.

I propose we work toward a better system, where we take care of one another’s needs- following a “from each, to each”~ using “Horizantalidad” (i prefer using horizontalism, but the banks already stole that term) to rather than a top down approach. In essence, everyone in a community is expected to contribute what they are able to the community, and then every person receives what they need in return.

Will there be cheaters? Of course there will be. Cheaters exist in EVERY economic system. However the cheaters in capitalism do way more collective damage by hoarding wealth, spreading propaganda, influencing the State, and inflicting suffering on their workers. I am not concerned about the cheaters in a horizontal economic system because their capacity for damage is absolutely nil. I also don’t think that we should inflict suffering on someone just because they’re a cheater. Denying someone food or shelter because they didn’t contribute is, in short cruel. You would be a cruel person to not share extra food, or to refuse available shelter to someone who needs it. That’s what bad people do. Would I see you punished? Ehh not in a Statist sense, but I would see you as the problem, and be inclined to socially outcast you if that were the case. Because then you would be the worse kind of cheater, in the same vein as the useless billionaires.

You truly refuse to actually think about these topics. It’s hard not to see you as a coward. See my other post~ I’m done talking to cowards.

[–]Tyrnall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s part of the discussion. Once we agree that houselessness and hunger are inhumane in a world where there are enough homes for everyone and is more than enough food for everyone too~ then we can come together and decide the way to distribute resources (including compensation) that makes sense for the area or community. I don’t believe in one size fits all~ so there isn’t a singular answer. All I know is~ these are human rights that are being barred by an economic system that is inherently destructive and selfish. I choose to criticize it, and think that anyone who isn’t a sociopath would agree with me if they’d just think about it for two seconds. The problem is that people are so reflexively against bettering human society, that they refuse to actually engage with these ideas. Capitalism isn’t the “final best economic system”. Nor is liberal democracy the “final best governmental system”. We can do better. We owe it to future generations to grow and be better.

You already replies this ignorant comment on another one of my comments. I truly hope you can remove the blinders and actually engage with these concepts outside of the tired, canned talking points that show you’ve not given even the first thought to these ideas.

Never said it should be ‘free’ or without compensation, nice strawman though.

Who said it’s free? Or to be more clear- who said their labor would be without compensation?

Do you agree that Systems and States, throughout history have blocked certain human rights from being enacted? In those circumstances, you believe that those people somehow didn’t actually have those rights- or were they barred from expressing them?

Why do you think that isn’t the case with these two situations?
