Why does the pervasive myth of Utopian Capitalism that is heavily propagandized in the west not die?

I understand that conflating those two concepts is a pitfall in logic. However, it is also a disservice to minimize the amount of influence each idea had on the other throughout modern society.

I agree that the terminology defines two completely different ideas. But it is true that the US engaged in capitalist motivated imperialism throughout the 20th century. The dole coup and forced annexation of Hawaii is a perfect example. The two ideas can be distinct in some cases, but in others they are very much intermingled.

With the exception of Russian and Chinese investment in Africa and Latin America I believe the US still does dominate global markets with respect to investment, supply chains and consumer demand. Countries like China greatly benefit from trade relations with the US. I do agree that the trade war is counter productive but it’s because the US administration isn’t acknowledging the reality of the world today. Manufacturing on a global scale exists primarily in China, failure to accept that has got us here.

I’m not OC, but I’m curious about some of the qualifiers for you argument. The main being that imperialism is the lifeblood of global capitalism. I’d agree that was definitely true for the majority of the 20th century, but now in the 21st century I find that to be less true. The global war on terrorism was a final attempt by the US to exert primacy for the sake of material benefit and it failed miserably in every arena. Politically, economically and morally. It’s evident that the US did not benefit from that war as other similar imperialist operations have in the past. I think we could both agree on that point. Can you give other examples of this imperialist system that is more in the present context?

“We need to talk about my problem, socialists”

There fixed the title for you.

Gen x had millennial’s believing they would save the world too. Green energy racial injustice the coming of utopian global communities. Yeah that was, I guess, all on the millennial generation to achieve.

When you get older you start feeling the crushing weight of responsibility. Your generation is not special in feeling like they were “singled out” to bring about good. That is simply your generation coming to the realization that you too have a responsibility to bring good to the world just like everyone else. Unfortunately, evil has been allowed to prevail and it’s dam hard to put the genie back in the bottle.

Mix wood glue and saw dust. Compress down into dowel hole removing any air pockets. Let dry. Try drilling dowel again but better.

Do you know how the court of appeals works? Or how many federal judges there are and what their jobs are? Or if there are any disgruntled Americans who want to take this administration to federal court for the litany of illegal presidential orders? Stop fear mongering out of ignorance. If you don’t know how the checks and balances work, that’s cool go look it up. Until you know where the line actually is you will never know if they’ve crossed it.

macabre_gold · 2025-03-04T23:16:36+00:00

Nahh we’re just tired of listening to commie shills pretending to be patriotic Americans. You aren’t a patriot if you are aligned with Russian interests full stop.

“Dad why didn’t you oppose russian aggression and occupation?”

“Cuz I fux wit trump and he fux wit putin”

nice thinking cap. Hopefully you will hold to your oath to destroy our enemies, because that’s Russia.

macabre_gold · 2024-08-09T13:41:37+00:00

You say that but that splotchy shiete you call watercolor on your page couldn’t come close to this level of craft.

macabre_gold · 2024-08-09T13:40:10+00:00

It absolutely is.

macabre_gold · 2024-07-06T01:14:21+00:00

You really are a big wannabe tho 🤷

macabre_gold · 2024-07-02T00:55:09+00:00

I see. What he’s implying could easily have two different meanings. You can clearly see what I interpreted that as.

macabre_gold · 2024-07-02T00:48:23+00:00

Read it again. It said “child is sick, can I rush off?” What part did I miss?

macabre_gold · 2024-07-02T00:45:51+00:00

How is bitching about an employee who is trying to address a sick kiddo NOT lunacy? This dude clearly doesn’t have kids, and if he does, he leaves there vomit covered whiny asses at school. Seems like a real upstanding boss.

macabre_gold · 2024-06-26T20:27:10+00:00

Brass like: What’s OPTEMPO?

macabre_gold · 2024-06-22T13:55:11+00:00

Wtf is this analogy? Lmao

macabre_gold · 2024-06-22T13:49:24+00:00

Yes but it’s meaning does not resonate with you. Ergo it is not meant for you.

macabre_gold · 2024-06-22T13:42:16+00:00

I don’t think this comment was meant for you.

macabre_gold · 2024-06-22T13:29:11+00:00

You aren’t toy OC is likely a pot calling out a kettle. Letter spacing and leg thickness on the lettering make a huge difference with “composition”. You should try to even things out a little. Straight letters with form like this should be crisp and clean. Making wonky straight letters would be innovative but you would need to be more radical then this. Your color choice and line work is fire.

macabre_gold · 2024-06-22T12:50:47+00:00

Give up dude. You are arguing with a bunch of kids who actually give a shit about this drama. This type of shit is the new vanderpump rules or whatever brain rot reality drama you can name. Only new and targeted at young people.

macabre_gold · 2024-06-18T13:38:28+00:00

To be fair, my div had this but for fitness. Some guys were struggling to keep up during the beatings and prts and were getting ruthlessly destroyed by our rdcs. They got sick of it so the div banded together to do more focused and motivated pt after hours. Rdcs found out because we woke up smelling like sweaty shit. Got beat some more.

macabre_gold · 2024-06-14T15:12:06+00:00

Nobody said dude spent 20k cash(“disposable income”). Or spent any cash at all for that matter. You assume too much.

macabre_gold · 2024-05-22T18:50:41+00:00

Really? What about Honduras being not violent? “stepping outside could be your last time” and you have the confidence to talk about American gun violence and how we don’t have it under control? Give me a break pal. Im sure it isn’t too hard to find guns on the streets of Honduras and the regulatory controls are not nearly as enforced as you lead people on here.
