Moridin920 posted:Our progress is because we are able to globally cooperate and communicate on unprecedented scales not because Elon Musk and his ilk who would love to see the planet choke on filth while they live in Elysium hth Neoclassical Economics and global trade and finance have been intricately linked with technological advances of the last 120 years, is all I'm saying. Globalization, Economics, Finance, and Technology are all part of the same system of human exploitation and environmental spoilage.

Moridin920 posted:It's a moot argument anyway because so what. Even if true and capitalism was the best thing for us and it is all at the feet of the free market well great it did its job and now is clearly hindering more than it is helping and we should realize that instead of worshiping ideological bullshit or saying that even attempts to criticize/reform anything are somehow incredibly dangerous. An economy should serve society not the other way around. yeah, we're agreed. I was talking about this nonsense post Mercrom posted:even globalism has a lot more to do with technology than any dumb ideology of economics

This is like that scene in Dredd where the dude shoots up a mall full of people and the loudspeaker announces that the mall will reopen in 30 minutes after the zamboni cleans up the pools of blood

happyhippy posted:The 90s upto 2000 were really optimistic times for the future. Actually, I remember the "End of History" 90s more like this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tnl-51cSYg&t=9s The supreme court ruling for the 2000 election was simply confirmation that Dickian alternate universes exist, and that we'd spent 25 years maneuvering ourselves into one. Not much in the political sphere has surprised me since that moment, though I was young and naive and it took years for me to understand the lasting implications of the Clinton legacy, not to mention what that shitheel bastard represented while in office.

Screaming Idiot posted:The thing is that billionaires don't think like normal people. You and I see money as a means to an end, to pay bills, buy groceries, and to purchase the things that make life bearable. Billionaires, however, see money as a means to exert power and influence over others, to change the world to fit their worldview. Monetary worth, they argue, is personal worth. I say this pretty often but it's actually way less rational than that. Billionaires are engaged in worship to Mammon. They are true believers in the madness of capital, it's their faith. None of it has to make sense in terms of humanism or morality or interpersonal power relations. Telephones posted:At work I take big breaks and I always hide in the bathroom for at least 25 minutes a shift. You're only sticking it to yourself here and reinforcing the paradigm of corporate nullification which indirectly demands that someone spend more energy performing the soul deadening task of pretending to work than they would simply working at something humane, decent, and hands-on. Work can be fulfilling, but not if a person is unable to find pride in what they're doing.

TheMostFrench posted:It sounds great but I wonder if the people applauding include themselves in that group of 'hosed people'. It's comedy, I laughed and I agree that there are a lot of self righteous and frustrating activists in the world, but it makes me think of some of the nihilist attitudes in the thread like 'might as well kill myself since there is nothing I can do about [problem]'. Humanity is definitely not the be all and end all of life on earth, but there is no reason that we can't try to make existence decent for as many people as possible while we are here. This is where nihilism becomes a useful tool for oppressors, because if people are unwilling to challenge the unfair status quo then the oppressors get to continue their comfortable lives at the expense of others.
