Also, they see the levy charged to them by their country for using its stuff to make money as bad, despite all the schools, roads etc that it pays for.
However, they see the levy changed to them by the shareholders of the company they work for using their stuff to make money as good, despite it giving them nothing in return.
Imo, the greatest piece of mass brainwashing in history.
No, no…God no.
I meant the left have to compromise with me.
It’ll probably react badly with all the heroin and barbs they take out there
To me, the most influential contribution in the last few decades would be “Capitalist realism: is there any alternative?”
Its very heavily influenced by Marx but it’s more like a philosophical intervention where I would see das kapital as more of a historical intervention. As in “erm no, this is the story of how we got here” (das kapital). Although, there’s plenty of philosophy of course. Its only about 5 pages long and there’s free readings of it on YouTube.
Although, imo, the real origin story of capitalism covered in das kapital, on a national scale, is something everyone should be much more aware of.
And it ain’t what it ain’t.
“Well, that’s just how it is”
Person attempting to justify an injustice they also suffer, without even a thought about whether it being “how it is” might actually be connected to all the people saying dumb stuff like “Well, that’s just how it is.”
For me, it kept a lot of the worst of the idiots away from places like reddit.
As soon as xitter got bad, lots of them left. You see, those kinds of weaponsied, unhigned right wingers are so repulsive to be around, they can’t even stand each other. More so, they dont even want to have a conversation or an exchange of ideas. They literally just want to rant at people, parroting the lines they read somewhere else at anyone they think disagrees with them.
If everyone agrees with you, you have no one to rant at.
