i apologize if i misconstrued, just the way you were calling them out reminded me of how people how people on both sides of the political spectrums often analyze others to see if they're something they don't

I think we have a Marxist on our hands... analyzing society from a materialist perspective, making references to the "business class" / "capitalist class" and viewing their actions as rational under the material conditions in which they operate.

Who? The capitalist class?

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:52

Instead of vague notions about Elon or Trump or whatever

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:52

We're all material beings after all

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:51

Not in a consumerist manner

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:51

Anything else can be misconstrued as abstract dogma

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:50

I'm viewing this from a materialist perspective

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:49

it's irrational for the people MOST NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY IT to be the ones championing it

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:49

You're going about this as if it's irrational when it's not

SF Bay Furs

They are not out of touch

A free market system that thrives off of the neocolonialism and subjugation of the third world.

I'm not arguing beyond anything else, and it explains why Trump loves railing against immigrants and the poors so much. It's in his best interest to divert attention away from his material circumstance and benefit in this free market system.

What makes you assume that?

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 23:00

the whole thing is just a ploy to keep us from questioning the reality of the world around us

I mean that they're not subtle about what their *actual* beliefs are but then they go on the propaganda machine (fox news) and pander by saying they're going to go after the people who are doing EXACTLY what they're doing, then they hide behind superPAC shit where they anonymously donate literal millions of dollars to buy out our elections...

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:54

they tell us what they're all about and people listen to it like "ok but that means I'm like you" because they just don't understand it

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:53

what "vague notions" do you even mean HUH they tell us exactly who they are and don't even try to hide it

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:52

Which is why going about analyzing the world in this matter is so helpful

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:51

the whole "I got mine, screw you" is exactly what has driven our society to this point

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:51

Philosophically materialist

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:51

materialism kinda is the problem here? 🤔

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:50

Again, you're going about this the wrong way

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:49

The business class know exactly what's going on lol

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:49

they're so desensitized to huge numbers they don't understand that people DON'T HAVE HUGE NUMBERS

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:49

billionaires are so out of touch, they don't understand the value of dollars

SF Bay Furs

13 Dec 2024 22:48

I mean, it's also hilarious to me that people be like "we need a billionaire in charge of the economy" when THAT'S THE KIND OF SHIT THAT GOT US HERE TO BEGIN WITH LMAO

it's a rational process based on an irrational system that is not found in any other species in nature. tell me, do the birds pay for their food? the trees pay for sunlight and air? does your dog pay rent? do the ants not share their harvest equally and tend to their sick and injured purely for the sake of mutual survival? human greed is uniquely human.
