Do not demand of politics that it restore the rights of the individual, as philosophy has defined them. The individual is the product of power. What is needed is to “de-individualize” by means of multiplication and displacement, diverse combinations. The group must not be the organic bond uniting hierarchized individuals, but a constant generator of de-individualization.

It almost seems like that these inbalances of power are transversal to cultures and time and are some kind of struggle between diferent classes of people,but what could it be?

If you come to this conclusion (which I kinda think is a bit wrong) you inevitably have to realize through examination of history that the disruption of higherarchical systems comes from violence almost exclusively

Maybe... those with power (almost) always want more and (almost) never give it up willingly??

political liberalism (in the classic, european sense) is probably the individualistic philosophy people think of when they say the west is individualistic i would say the west is not individualistic like that anymore in the age of neoliberalism. in today's society you are more expected to sublimate yourselves to the needs of "the economy" (which in actuality is nothing but brute power of other more powerful people) than be self-sufficient Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jan 25, 2018 |

But isn't it that we have a disconnect between paper wealth (and where the billionaire's wealth increases stem from) which lays claims to what is out there and material wealth that is an expression of what's out there?

Robinhood, the commission free stock trading app, sent me an email saying you can trade crypto now, lol. I'm pretty sure they don't allow real currency or futures trading because it's too volatile.

There is, but that just highlights the sad fact that we've had all the real resources to fix poverty for a very long time, and just... don't. This is where the "more empty houses than homeless people" type facts come in.

Its really disgusting to see the property management companies and rentseekers continue to jack up rent despite the growing vaccancies. I guess 1 tech bro pays the rent for 5 regular people so that doesnt bother the owners.

Also $X billion to solve extreme poverty ignores the fact that poverty isn't just a deficit of money. The sentiment is nice but it's not like just paying off a debt or something. Still, take all their money anyway. You just need to reform the global economic system, too. Two very easy things to do. J. P. Beagley fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Jan 26, 2018 |

It's sort of like those articles that estimate the extinction of bees could cost up to $217 billion dollars annually, or that unmitigated climate change will cause a 23% reduction in GDP growth by 2100. It's hilariously naive theory crafting that doesn't really understand what we're up against. The wealth inequality gap grew at an exponentially accelerating pace, but it's not like capitalists grew 300% better at investing in 2017. It's because the central banks have been in a state of critical meltdown since 2008 and have been flooding the economy with cheap debt to bid up asset prices. Let's say Jeff Bezos dreamed he saw Joe Hill last night and decides to spend all of his wealth feeding the hungry, how is he going to cash out without causing the casino to collapse on top of him? He can spend all his money and it'll work for a while, but because of the massive imbalance between paper wealth and real goods, it would just exhaust the purchasing power of the dollar while bidding up the price of food. The sad thing is the article isn't totally wrong. Humanity has actual, pressing and immediate problems that need to be addressed. If the effort that went into the GFC had instead been diverted to rebuilding society into something that didn't look like a planet killing Ponzi scheme, we could be halfway there by now. Instead the world's elite decided the best allocation of resources was to continue gambling with the martingale betting system.
