I will never understand why young college-educated people are the most-likely demographic to be socialists. Why would you want wealth distribution when you are the most productive group in the country? You're literally voting to make yourself poorer. What's the thought process?>Well yes, I am going to pay more taxes to the elderly and unproductive, and yes these groups are growing relative to the total population, meaning more and more of my money will go towards supporting them in the future, but I want to pay anyways so that when I'm 75 the government may subsidize a pothead Caribbean to wipe my ass (and probably abuse me) since I didn't have enough money to have kids of my own in my youth.Why would you not, instead, support a socialist program that redistributes virgin women, not money, to kind, loving, caring, hardworking gentlemen? That would make your life far, FAR better than free healthcare or whatever other faggoted garbage the average socialist cares about.
>>84294470You sound like a caveman
>>84294480Why is that? Because I want sex?
Their brains aren't fully developed which is why they hold retarded beliefs
>>84294470porn has ruined your brain retard
>>84294752>porn has ruined your brain retardNo not really, but I imagine porn has ruined your brain since you think that sexual feelings, which are completely natural and held by nearly everybody, are some evil disgusting thing, and that wanting sex with a pretty virgin is somehow disgusting and perverted.
>>84294470Because they majored in things other than math and all they see is a few people make a lot of money and assume it would be substantial if their wealth were distributed among millions of people. Not that I'm saying there aren't solutions to class based problems, it's just that destroying the most (financially) productive members of society and their companies is not the way to do it, though it's okay if a few, such as rent seekers (i.e literal landlords, and subscription server peddlers) are destroyed in the process.
>>84294470young people aren't walking into good jobs out of college anymore, boomer. It's savage competition for the few good white-collar jobs available, and a mountain of debt win or lose.Meanwhile employers make bank.
>>84294775That's true, I just don't see how supposedly educated people don't want to cut down on rent seekers like unions, lawyers, and other interest groups who have made things as complicated and expensive as possible to get their share of the pie, and instead want to rape productive, efficient businesses like Amazon.>>84294784I'm not a boomer I'm in my early 20s
>>84294470are you some kind of a retard or what
>>84295152What? Why would you ask this? If you have a problem with my post then maybe address it instead of just calling me a retard. Retard.
>>84294470>>84294470The top 1% owns 30% of the wealth. The top 10% owns 70%.It's kind of strange to ask why educated people tend to adopt a political-economic philosophy that is in opposition to the dominant political-economic philosophy that consists entirely of a reification of profit so complete that the majority of individuals are brainwashed into believing that this system is a good thing for them. That is, unless you're one of these brainwashed individualsThe idea that capitalism provides some great excess of freedom as opposed to socialism is at least a half of a lie. Capitalism in its purest instantiation guarantees only negative freedoms (that is, freedom from limiting factors), while extremely disproportionately skewing positive freedoms (that is, enabling freedoms, such as the positive freedom to take a sabbatical without pay and vacation) towards the upper classAnd, even worse, in its modern instantiation (which I opine is in some which way where all forms of capitalism end up), you aren't even given the guarantee of positive freedom, unless you are ultra-wealthy or are yourself a giant corporation. Once you are low enough on the food chain, the regulations start to limit and destroy you. Meanwhile, if you are a mega corporation and are in trouble of going under (2008, COVID, yada-yada) you are given very favorable loans in the form of corporate bailouts, while all of your smaller competition is forced to dissolve without the mercy of such bailoutsThe great idea of individualism under this system turns out to be a lie in the modern day as well, now that tech giants are in the control of massive hyperreal digital ecosystems, simulacra that we are constantly plugged into and transmogrify our aggregate and individual behavior towards the end of those who control these technologies (which, again, is the financial elite and owning class)Not to mention the foundational lie of capitalism that 'ownership' entitles one to the labor surplus of another
>>84296104>The top 1% owns 30% of the wealth. The top 10% owns 70%The most capable, intelligent people have the most money. This is good. In fact, they should have more were it not for evil policies that force them to subsidize the existence of net-negative "people".
>>84294470>You're literally voting to make yourself poorerI'm voting to make the rancid evil billionaires trying to destroy the entirety of humanity poorer actually, and replace their garbage system with something that will work when they automate all the jobs away. I literally would be libertarian if it was possible for it to work with these people trying to invent this giga surveillance state high-tech shit but it's not.
>>84296104Its government regulations that allow corporations to be giant monopolies and oligopolies.And trying to redustribute wealth away from the rich after the fact is not going to be as effective as enforcing productivity gains to allow workers to continue earning enough in a single paycheck to pay for a nuclear family of 10+ while working a 15 hour work week instead of CEOs earning 320x the wage of their employees while the stock market keeps forcing mass lay-offs to increase short term profits at the expense of the business collapsing. Its line go up thats the problem, the stock market is what needs to be deleted entirely, return money to being backed by physical objects like gold and get rid of globohomo tying the entire world economy together. Capitalism has been corrupted but communism is 40x as deadly as the holocaust and 10x as surveillance state.Nothing will be fixed though at all.
>>84297232>>84297265>We should destroy companies and the stock market, making everyone significantly poorer, because I'm jealous billionaires have more money than me
>>84297324>destroy companies and stock marketYes, this but unironically. Only billionaire shills and greedy parasite investors think this is a bad thing. You are the scum of society.
>>84294470>the picrelatedWhy are so many rightoids degenerate porn addicts? Can't you think about anything else other than giving a 14 year old a facial?
>>84297324Yeah. If you hoard all the resources it's just and good for the rest of the people being deprived of those resources to redistribute them, by force if need be. I would prefer by force a la France but you know. If you don't see that you're a soulless jew
>>84297353you are so unbelievably braindead>>84297363it's curdled milk you disgusting pervert
>>84297324No fuckhead. CEOs used to make 21x the what their employees made. Employees used to be able to own 2 homes and a boat on the imcome of a walmart employee who worked 40 hours a week no overtime while also being able to afford college and to raise 3 or more kids.Modern day you need 2 $100k incomes working 80 hours a week to afford no kids no college and rent an apartment. Keynsian economics said that the productivity increases by 2030 would lead to workers working 15 hours a week and affording all tge same shit as they did back in the fucking post-war boom.The economy has been assraped by the elites. Partially leftists fault and partially stockholders fault. In the 80s people chose to start working overtime constantly which brough mandatory hours up. Women joined the workforce and halved the leverage of workers overnight. The government started mass importing 3rd world retards to pay them slave wages.If everyone EVERYONE got poorer but I suddenly became able to buy two houses due to the prices dropping along with the rest of the economy then I would fucking kill you to cause mass deflation.
>>84297374>You're a Jew if you aren't a spiteful rodent angry at everyone who has more than youShalom!>>84297381>No fuckhead. CEOs used to make 21x the what their employees made. Employees used to be able to own 2 homes and a boat on the imcome of a walmart employee who worked 40 hours a week no overtime while also being able to afford college and to raise 3 or more kids.I see the problem, you're delusional. If I believed this too, then of course I would be angry, but it's simply not true.>Modern day you need 2 $100k incomes working 80 hours a week to afford no kids no college and rent an apartment.This is also not true in the slightest.You're genuinely insane. Good day.
>>84297392Shut the fuck up and die neo-serf I will become a terrorist rather than live in neo-feudal cybperpunk oligopolies where the average man can earn nothing because all jobs are automated and the elite still want line to go up.
>>84297399>I will become a terroristNo you won't. You are completely pacified and will do nothing except larp.
>>84297381>Women joined the workforce and halved the leverage of workers overnight.Not how that works because women spend earned money and increase demand which causes more hiring. Also women can hire people too lol.
>>84294470the deepest flaw in this framing is that reveals that you think "self-interest" is only at a individual pov, which is also why you cant understand it
>>84297454>you think "self-interest" is only at a individual povSelf:a person's essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action.
>>84294470>kind, loving, caring, hardworking gentlemenDo you see yourself this way?
>>84297464Yes. I meet all of those criteria, yet women do not like me because I am too nice and shy.
>>84297457what distinguishes a self from other selves and what constitutes a self's interests is not the same question
>>84297477>Ackshually if I change the definition of self-interest then you're wrongCool argument.
not only that but even taken literally one could point at how unexamined a "self" actually is. a self is not prior to their relations, nothing exists in isolation. the degree to with which you're aware of that may decide what you define self interest to be
>>84297487Not everybody is a parasite who feeds on others to survive. I am not like the rest of you. I am superior.
