I saw something really interesting the other day…

In our society, being good or bad depends on your net worth. If you’re rich, you are good. If you’re poor you’re bad.

Poor people know they can’t be good by being rich. They actually never even interact with actual rich people. Classes don’t really interact with each other in our society.

But what they get access to is the rich man’s ideology. Or what they think rich people are (what they actually see is the petit bourgeoisie, the lower capitalist class. Their bosses are the lower rung of the capitalists. Or the upper rung of the working class. Small business owners, management etc).

But the poor can at least be on the same team as the rich, fight for the same things, and in that way at least be on the “good side”.

They try to approximate goodness by ideology. They try to get closer to “good” by fighting in the name of the “good people”.

Then of course the actual rich people defend capitalism because it’s beneficial to them, materially.

You think people in their late teens and early 20s in the past fucked more cause they thought “ah if I have a kid it’s no issue, I can support them!”?..

Also come on… it is really cheap to get fucked up. There is really cheap booze. Really cheap weed. Really cheap drugs in general really.

And you know, you pre-game, go to a dive bar during live music night or some shit. Meet some new people, make mistakes, make memories you’ll only re-remember at the most inconvenient moments.

Go to a rave. They are really cheap and md has not become anymore expensive throughout the years.

Actually, this is something that the more I think about is true. Drugs are some of the few things that haven’t really increased in price at all.

Getting fucked up is one of the few things you can do as a young person that has DECREASED in comparative cost.

Camping with friends and taking lsd and shrooms, raving and taking md, going to a dive bar and smoking weed… its all CHEAPER now, comparatively.

That might have something to do with it. But gen-z seems to have more a purity culture than millennials and gen-x had.

Many are very into exercise and fitness from a very young age. Control their diets. Sleep super early, get up early.

They are going less to clubs (and shitty dive bars). Doing less drugs. Having less sex.

You can say its all because of money. But broke teenagers and young adults of previous generations had their fun, went out, destroyed their bodies. You know, it can be REALLY cheap to get fucked up and well, get fucked or fuck.

You don’t think their main source of income was ever consumer-grade memory… do you?

It’s always been servers and business customers.

1. “Good” ones are rare.
2. They are pretty.

Humans just love pretty things. It’s famously one the main things that moves people.

“They still declared war” like that’s the fucking problem?

The US never declared war on Iraq. And “all states are evil” is a useless position.

Declaring war? That’s where you draw the line? 😂

So no harm no foul in the invasion of Iraq I guess

Most non-chud euros I see really quickly understood that was a plot by Israel and the US to punish Sanchez 🤷‍♂️

I didn’t read that article (naturally), but “defend” makes me think of European paranoia about Russia, not immigration.

The immigration talks are progressing more towards “yeah well we tried being “nice” and letting the poor people in, but seems like we’ll have to resign to ethnic displacements and fascism again oops”.

Ofc how could I forget the age old tradition started by Caesar against the Gauls.

What even are European values? Colonizing? 😂

Yeah but the welfare state has been dismantled since Reagan. Cold War era Nordics is where the welfare state truly peaked.

Defend the continent from what?? “Russian orcs”? Bro just end the war in Ukraine and stop antagonizing Russia and they will leave everyone alone!

The best peace policy for Europe would be to pay reparations to the colonized world…

Now THAT is something I’d be in favor of dismantling the welfare state for lmao
