In it’s core this is a “back in the days things were alright” fallacy. Everyone should have gotten serious about organization, unions, changing the social order to one beneficial for the people, staying vigilant… When Bush lied about Weapons of Mass destruction. When Reagan helped making the neoliberal project hegemonial. When anti-communist propaganda was ramped up.

Things are getting more fucked up. Time to act. They were horribly fucked up before. Time to act :)

oh sweet

can you do gaming on fedora? like, run pirated games or use steam?

Maybe he was human naturing human nature itself and unlocked a whole new nature. Of humans, that is.

Welcome to todays episode of criticizing things you haven’t read:

I see. Thanks

Isnt thatvway to much volume for text? I would imagine every book ever written to be judt a few tb. But I also don’t know much about the issue

Awesome comment. Thank you! This is where something starts to become visible: the weird indirect physical and psychological violence of liberal ideology.

It’s base claim is: If everyone, as a single enlighted decent individual agent, would just play by the rules (fair markets), everything would be at it’s best. All of them shall thrive.

Now all those good christians go through life working their ass of, actually trying to be “a good person”, but after decades they have to painfully find out: It doesn’t work out. Most of them get more stressed, poorer, there’s ecological destruction, war and so on. Almost no one get’s to thrive.

As you pointed out, finding out about capitalism and (neccessarilly collectively) paving a way to more rational production and fairer distribution, is difficult. You could almost say it’s practically and ideologically out of reach. You know, because your freedoms depend on liberal individualism.

They end up with two options: 1. Look for an outside menace to the otherwise funtional market game (immigrants, jews, or heck why not trans people) 2. Get more of the same: more privatizarion, less social welfare etc.

They cling ever harder to a political decision, the more it harms them. This is brutal and sad af imo.

Real agency is possible, just not the individualist kind liberalism is successfully promising them in their despair of heteronomy.

You’re a writer too. If you so far decided to not get organized, you and your fellow writers are just copying what you read from others.

I wonder what those people claim they keep politics and science seperated. You know, because if you get a lab coat you’re immune

Accepting it is a choice with practical consequences. We should work on understanding what is to change and how and focus on doing it.

Making prophecies about what “Eventually” happens is self handicapping, wich does not help :)

We don’t exist as a whole, wich is the political challenge I would like people to focus on.

I think in post religious thinking it’s not about “deserve”

Edit (cant properly edit on jerboa rn) … your base argument is right.

Of course your base argument - capitalist economy is ecolocically destructive and dysfunctional regarding the needs of the many.

“Until there is noone left to fulfill their orders” thats the kind of “justice” i’m talking about. Like, Homoestasis will put them down in the end. Justice will be served. But that’s deceptive satisfaction.

Don’t go down the “natural balance” kind of revenge fantasy. It only makes one comfy in passivist boundedness. Also the guy in the picture is far more likely do do just fine in a climate catastrophy than you. Gaia nature god lady won’t bring you any justice, at all.

Fatalism is in that mix, too. A very easy way to meet political complexity

Never too late for a first time
