And this is how those in power stay in power.

what do you mean?

You should get heaps of money getting thrown at you when you fix it forever for everyone but you don’t. And therein lies the problem. A look over open source software makes this very obvious.

I don’t know how you solve excessive waste, it’s maybe a problem of population density more than failing society. If you live on a plot of land in your own home you can exist without producing more garbage than you can process away on your own. So while yes you can’t realistically just tune down society, it’s naive. It’s not true that people can’t exist in a self sustained way as the basis for a thought experiment.

It’s not that garbage or infrastructure repair aren’t problems that need to be dealt with, they now are. Or that you never have to do anything you don’t want to do, even self sustained you have to. I’m saying that you would need to solve them upstream at the source where they are not menial but interesting like the pictures in the meme.

People are obsessed with solving problems. But you don’t solve the garbage problem by manually hauling it forever in perpetuation. That’s what you have to do when you can force people to labor for minimum wage and skim the rest.

If nobody wants to haul garbage then people would experiment and look for a solution. Like mentioned already, one solution is to enslave peopel to do it for you, yes. But it could also be a tree hugger like livestyle, not for everyone. But it could also be something we havent thought of yet. People would find solutions in their comunities, and working solutions would scale up. All wishful thinking obviously. I would love to experiment with solutions that produce less garbage, measure it, optimize etc.

The right answer is to deconstruct the argument logically and educate, of course. But I think it has to be added that the hypocrisy is intentional and is not stupidity and to understand the argument behind the facade you have to understand us politics. Which is all about manipulating the voter turnout. Imigrants will, once naturalized, vote against republicans, so they are oppressed. Same with women, high education, and so on. These are all just traits that let you select people who’d vote against you.

For example abortion, women who would consider aborition will statistically vote against republicans, so republicans rally around that and demonize abortion to make the women move away or stay away. Or as you mentioned transgender people, yes they can’t move to republican states, that’s the point!

It’s always about supressing the people who statistically vote against you. In this case poor people vote against you, so you argue that poor people should leave the state or the country to dillute or strategically shift the voting opposition.

you don’t need profits anymore when you have robotic slaves. you need profits to pay people to do the work you want to be done for you. if you have robots doing everything to keep a large estate running for you with all necessities and complete automation, what do you need more humans or profit for? If you need a door replaced you send a robot to make a new one, you don’t need a complete carpentry industry.

They have apparently succeeded in poisoning the meaning of the term.

If you know what a ice sculpture of a human looks like and you know what an ice sculputre of a swan looks like you can maybe infer what an “ice sculpture of a flying crocodile with wings” might look like too, by combining what you already know. It’s as much incorrect as your imagination, no?

The famously “egalitarian” Nazis who thought provokingly also railed against the “Jewish capitalism” in their “egalitarian” pursuit of racial purity and a welfare state for the superior “egalitarian” Aryan volk?

Here is Mussolinis doctrine: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14058/14058-h/14058-h.htm

“No individuals nor groups (political parties, associations, labour unions, classes) outside the State. For this reason Fascism is opposed to Socialism, which clings rigidly to class war in the historic evolution and ignores the unity of the State which moulds the classes into a single, moral and economic reality.”

Straight out of the pigs mouth. Of course, it’s still propaganda, he could have said it is socialism, and it still wouldn’t be socialism if it isn’t socialism. The same way you can call a pig a horse, or the Nazis egalitarian.

Whats a tankie btw?

Yes you are confused. Fascism is not “fundamentally a left wing ideology” because they were friendly with the Nazis. Fascism was right authoritarianism, NSDAP (Nazis) was right authoritariansim. The Nazis were not a left party. You are completely confused by the “socialist” part in the name. Which they intentionally used to confuse. The term “socialist” was used for propaganda, to attract workers, but their policies were not socialist but were right-wing nationalist, authoritarian, racist. They used “socialist” to mean state control of certain aspects, but not collective ownership, and they opposed Marxist socialism.

80 year old propaganda still confusing you. What kind of books you reading? I’m curious.

They got you! Authoritarians LOVE rebranding and confusing language, calling themself democratic people republic. Or calling themself national socialists depsite murdering the disabled! It makes no sense and they love doing it, because it confuses people like you!

Thats like salting then bleaching the plants in your garden because butterflies disturb you. You can do it to show how powerful you are but you’re really doing more damage to yourself.
