Society

Insert thesis statement about the state of society that is merely a reflection of ones own ego and subjective biases.

All hail the global economy no one fully understands how it works…but we all care enough cause it affects how we survive by trading with each other…lol

Capitalism, marxism, socialism, anarchy how about something new.

Also please buy my old pokemon trading cards they are worth 400 bucks but ill sell them to you for 150…

Where’s the subjective bias against our dollar store dictator when he:

  • Chooses to golf instead of doing anything of value to help alleviate the pain of parents who lost their young daughters in a flood - a situation that could easily have been prevented in the first place by not gutting the government service in charge for show

  • Allocates billions of $$ to create his own fascist ICE army made, no doubt, of Proud Boys and the likes, in order to cause terror among people who dare go aaginst his will, and potentially overturn elections using force in 2026

  • Parades & sells merch in front of a concentration camp build in Florida in 3 days instead of building any kind of housing that could help the homeless get back on track

  • Says he HATES Democrats, so basically half the USA, because they disapprove of his majesty, instead of being a president of the people, as he is supposed to be

(and this list will go on for at least 3½ more years)

Was talking about this kind of stuff, more specifically a version of it.

I respect your perspective even though i disagree with some of it. :grin:

Also Orange man aside…

Considering that he isnt the center of the universe.

What problems does western society have?

What problems do non western societies have?

What are the solutions?

he hasnt learned what hubris is, he hasnt overcome any real trauma, he hasnt had to give anything of himself, only take from others. And now he’s the king of his section of the earth.

Fight against social oppression and feelings of unfairness by actively provoking people.

(Im criticizing both the right and the left with sarcasm)

Everybody knows the best response to being constantly bullied is taking a beating every day and say “thank you, sir!”

(I’m criticizing the lazy “both sides are the same” argument that is used to defend the one side that is vastly documented as ignoring the constitution and shitting on US law every.single.day.)

Edited to add: @bfk - I don’t want to/won’t start an argument with you. I am under the impression that you are defending a side that can’t be defended, because of its own actions. It is rubbing me the wrong way because having a semi-insane and reckless POTUS has been extremely damaging to the USA inside the country and internationally. This is a president who openly shits on anybody who he doesn’t like, and you know who that is. If “the other side” had done half of a quarter of what he’s done, all hell would break loose. Saying otherwise is uneducated at best or plain delusional at worst.

Agreed no point in starting an argument.

Also the orange man is an asshole.

Additionally i have criticized both sides.
I am not in favor of one or the other.

And the thing is that im not on one side or the other…because the…

Truth is i am independent…i have my own beliefs..my own ethics…etc..

i dont belong to a political alignment. Also there is really no need to be categorized into one demographic or another in order to be understood by others.

I will always be on the side of “think for yourself, and make your own decisions”

And in this world of bias, lying, and gatekeeping of information…us common folk are deliberately kept ignorant in order to be controlled.

For at the end of the day…im not going to get anything by being an expendable minion of either side…

I certainly agree 100%.

I am not affiliated/registered with any party either. Never have been. I am an “independent”

In case you wonder what my thoughts on the subject are: the Democratic party is mostly comprised of spineless politicians that did not do anywhere near enough to prevent the theft of our liberties that Fuckface started when installing Supreme Court cronies during his first mandate, and has unleashed since he got a second mandate, somehow.

The only 2 (major) politicians currently in office that have integrity are Bernie Sanders and AOC. The DNC stole the Sanders nomination he had legitimately won with the popular vote some 8 years ago to put Hillary Clinton in his stead, with the great success that it brought, because they were too afraid to let someone not in the pockets of Big Pharma and the NRA have a shot at running the country. The DNC 100% helped create the horror we now live in.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, complacency when it comes to knowing what is happening in the US (and in other countries) while democracy is blatantly eroded is like collaborating. If we stop exposing the abuse and we stop protesting against Project 25’s agenda, the GOP have already won.

Will we have elections in 2026? And if (as any statistical modelling currently shows), the GOP are in for a vast rebuke, will they concede any seat (let’s not forget Jan 6, 2021, shall we)?

We are becoming a dictatorship. There’s no bias there, there’s no party preference. It’s just the plain truth. Just last weekend, at McArthur Park in L.A., ICE and the army forcefully threatened and prevented journalists from reporting/doing their jobs.

OK, I’ve said my piece. Hopefully it may open some eyes.

Moving on.

PS: changing the name of the thread wasn’t a good idea IMO.

Society ill pay millions of dollars for a banana duct tape to a wall…

Fuck this thread…

talking about society its almost impossible to talk about without reigniting that dumb crywanky culture war crap…

And coming up with societal models…has already been done by plato, karl marx, john locke, and adam smith…etc

As for having discussions about sociology it is insufferable when all sociological discussion is discussing topics that are under the umbrella of propaganda litered culture war crap.

Kind of tangential to musicing.
