Recently I have discovered great joy in sliding into the comments or replies of "not to be the devils advocate" "actual white racism is real-" and similar dumbass bullshit ideal holding white folks just to call them a cracker. Or make white oriented stupid ass disses. It always takes the reddit mansplainer centrists off guard.
Told one I didnt believe a culture whose unwilling to use more than one take or spice at a time day to day seriously. And I dont condone them having rights. He was fuckin frothing.
Told a different one I didnt believe in white people. As they were born dark and just lightened over time as babies. So theyre just a fuck up genetically. And will pull a whole fake conspiracy theory out my ass just to baffle them and make them wonder if its legit. Great times.
Best part is Im a mayo drinker myself. But they never ask. They get too focused on themselves and start claiming I am cishetphobic/white racist/misandrist etc. when in reality Im a white birom asexual transman who when he spots a mf actin like a dumbass cracker ill tell them as much. Fantastic shit.
Best if you mix improved absurd "anti white" takes with actual facts to make them have no leg to stand on. This is also best done to those asshole who were already given real arguments. But obv think theyre too alpha brain and wont hear anyone out. So this is perfect for them
If they get to say wild heinous shit a out others then I get to say wild shit about us. I will in fact spread rumours that white people dont have sex. They just mitosis that shit. Just to piss em off. Like my guy. I know I sound wacky but alteast i dont sound like a racist piece if shit like them. (Bonus if delirious due to fever like me for two weeks off and on.)
Sometimes outtrolling a troll or bigot is best you can do. Especially if they can be tricked into telling themselves on accident and then you report and exorcise their asses

i think about how deep furry infects my brain. I wanna be a fluffy creature with teeth and paws and tails and i wanna be sexed like that. And then i wanna go play with a fishing like toy and run and be on leash and have a collar. i wanna go dook dook dook and sniff things and sleep in a hammock with my body contorted. but no i have to go to work and do my taxes and be a benefit to society 🤡

As part of our freewillseries, Rebecca Tallent gives her take on Free will, and how we place limitations on our own freedom.
"Acting on our own freewill is difficult, the road is laden with landmines filled with legal and moral consequences. We all select our own bumper guidelines to keep us along our path. "

Crony Capitalism? You mean... just Capitalism?
Tumblr media
Like, two weeks ago one of my posts about communism made its way into liberterian, pro-capitalist circles on this platform. (Admittedly, I am surprised those circles exist here, but... Welp, I guess?) Now, I know better than to interact with them directly, given that they are so clearly brainwashed by the system.
But I really just need to talk about this one thing that they keep bringing up: "The problem is not capitalism, it is Crony Capitalism!!!" Which has me sitting there, giving this slow confused blink: "You mean... Just capitalism?"
In those libertarian circles, there are those two ideas that keep coming up again and again.
"Oh, the issue is not capitalism. The issue is the crony capitalism we live under."
"Actually, capitalism does not work because of the regulations! It would work great without it!"
And with both arguments I do wonder, how far removed someone can get from reality.
Now, let's talk about the first argument. "Crony Capitalism". This is the basic idea that capitalism get corrupted due to the big coorporations/big money interacting with the government in a mutually corrupting way. The issue they say is, that in fact this interaction gives certain companies an advantage, because they influence politics and hence hold more power than their competitors. It is discribed as a "collusion between the political class and the business class". The idea is, that because this is happening, the market is no longer "free", hence capitalism got corrupted by this collusion.
The irony obviously is, that my communist ass will readily agree with you that capitalism and politics interacting is an issue... but I land very much on the side of Noam Chomsky here, saying: Capitalism is always crony.
Under capitalism money always equals power. And this power interminglign with whatever governing body you have is just natural. Because the goal under capitalism is for those, who have money, to make more money. And capitalism says, you can do that by any means necessary. Including corruption.
If you really believe this is not the natural state of capitalism, try to think what would need to happen to prevent it. Because the basic issue will always remain. Sure, we could legislate the hell out of it. Not allow any politicial donations by big companies. Not allow politicians to take a position in the economy after ending their terms. Heck, those are political ideals, that any communist will agree with you on.
But... the big companies will always hold power over the government. Because so many jobs and so many tax dollars are bound to them. And they will just always hold more power than Uncle Mario with his little company.
Yes, regulating the things above might make it better - but it will not make the problem go away. (And, of course, neither big capital, nor the politicians have any interest to regulate the system.)
Crony Capitalism... Is just what happens, when you have capitalism. Because money will always be power.
The other idea is the AnCap idea. (Once again: Anarcho Capitalism is an oxymoron, because anarchism aims for the destruction of hierarchies, while capitalism aims to build more hierarchies.) "Actually, capitalism would work great without any government interference and rules!" Only that it would not.
The thing that AnCaps do not want to acknowledge is, that workers and just normal people have fought tooth and nail for any of those regulations put on capitalism. Rules against monopolies? Had to be fought for. Rules against trusts? Yeah, were fought for. Rules against slavery? You know it. Rules against child labor? Yes, exactly. Fought for. Rules for allowing people a weekend and somewhat humane working hours? People had to fight for it. Rules for the companies to protect the environment? Absolutely something fought for by activists.
If you would just remove all regulations from the market... I give it five years until the market is ruled by a handful of Monopolies or Duopolies. Disney is gonna own entertainment. Google or Meta is gonna own the online world. Given they rule that, they will set the rules for the workforce. You wanna work in this area? Well, have fun doing now legal 80 hour weeks. And sure we are gonna employ your 12yo kid. Duh. Little Martin's little fingers will be good for something.
And the environment? Yeah, just put that raw sewage into that river. Who fucking cares?
Hey, actually. Why pay workers actual money? Why not just pay them Mouse-Dollars in Disney, so they have to spend all their money within Disney. Wouldn't that be better for everyone? And let them live in the company village... Those guards keeping you in? Oh, they are... Uhm. For your own protection!
And why do we know, that it will go like that? Because we have already seen it happening. There already was a pretty unregulated capitalism going about 150 years ago. And it did not go well.
The entire endgoal of capitalism is to exploit the worker (and the environment) as much as possible, so that a few can live in unimaginable wealth. And it will do that by any means necessary, not caring about the negative influence it might have on anyone in the future.

I do think it's extremely funny that bitcoin et all was marketed as Cool and Liberterian and Cyberpunk and Secret Money The Government Can't Take or w/e, and recently we are seeing that the government can indeed find it, regulate it, and use the blockchain record to figure out who got the crime money. congrats on your cool secret cyberpunk investment, now here's form 1099B reporting the proceeds of your sale, which we have CC'd to the IRS lol
every generation needs a pyramid scheme, it's only fair

❝Same,❞ Virote wistfully responded, taking in one, big drag on his cigarette before tossing it to the pavement and crushing it with his heel. Right into smithereens. It was past March, but there was still a weird chill in the city, and poppies were blooming only in places where the sunlight reached around the parks and beaches. It was a beautiful afternoon. They had done everything—drive through Vespucci, haunt the cafes in Mirror Park, have a couple of drinks in the hills.
They were loitering around a studio lot, now. Around the Sam Austin Memorial Building. One of the executive producers of a small, independent film, Martin Guthrie, meandered around the trailer, barking orders at whoever the fuck. This particular guy had a fake appendage. Virote wanted it ( as a trophy, for some sick reason. ) ❝Hey! I have an idea. I distract him, then you take it. I mean he… Just has it there. On a table. Take it, run, I'll drop some people, we'll get in the car, and then flee. How about that? You know, I'd usually feel bad about something like this. But... Mr. Guthrie's a dick that votes liberterian, so who gives a shit.❞

Ever notice how much fanfiction seems to draw out the politics of the authors? Like, I'm not saying it's rare exactly. All fiction is in some way political, whether it is in the capacity of reflecting the politics of the setting or expressing the views of the author. As an example, the average power fantasy writer is to an extent expressing a certain degree of the same talking points the average liberterian is fond of. Things like doing things yourself, the idea that the government is useless or incapable of stopping them from doing what they want, and most often, emphasizing the ability of characters to be totally self sufficient. the latter usually comes with a healthy dose of a "fuck you plebes" sentiment. It's rare to find the story where the power fantasy is about empowering people without ruling over them. Especially with fics where the emphasis is on an MC with a truly powerful constructive ability, like with the Commander fic craze that Drich started off. The idea that usually gets portrayed is of a society that is crumbling and/or doing badly but is elevated to a better state by the MC before they head off into the next universe/adventure. It's a rather interesting look into the "If I had power" category.
A bit rambling this one....

This is the most conservative thing ever.
Reject all government oversight and safety regulations, call them oppressive and an attack on the free market, but as soon as something bad happens demand help from that same government.

the amount of drivers who’d willingly commit vehicular homicide and cause other people to wreck by doing absolutely insane turns and merges just so they’ll be 10 seconds earlier to wherever they’re going is absolutely terrifying tbh

you know what i think is interesting? the socialists who think that anti-socialists are pro-billionaire fail to understand that capitalists aren't pro-billionaire, we're just anti-stealing
