Many people want to know why, out of the entire white segment of society, we want to criticize the liberals. We have to criticize them because they represent the liaison between both groups, between the oppressed and the oppressor. The liberal tries to become an arbitrator, but he is incapable of solving the problems. He promises the oppressor that he can keep the oppressed under control; that he will stop them from becoming illegal (in this case illegal means violent). At the same time, he promises the oppressed that he will be able to alleviate their suffering-in due time. Historically, of course, we know this is impossible. and our era will not escape history.

I'm getting tired of the sane cycle of anti-capitalism circling social media, because it's anti-capitalism with no substance.

The same people crying "eat the rich!" Are the same people who think we can vote ourselves out of this. They want to "find the addresses of billionaires" but get mad when we celebrate the death of bigoted politicians. They want to make bosses pay but get mad when they're asked to stop consuming from the worst corporations around. They want to save the planet but will cry about violent protests.

Anti-capitalism with no substance isn't anti-capitalism, it's pre-establishment. We need to start pushing a narrative other than anti-capitalism to people. We need to start pushing theories and solutions. And they need to start listening.

what it actually means to be neoliberal:

“u are a capitalist opportunist hiding behind words. i point this out bc conservatives will call this woke in attempts to undermine genuine leftist analysis & critiques; this action is rooted in bad faith. one person hiding behind words to make $ is an opportunist & the thing about neoliberals is that the grift comes in many forms. in short, what most people point out as a form of hypocrisy inherent to being "woke" is actually just neoliberalism and has nothing to do with the rest of us. also said this cause some people just don't know what neoliberal means and they think it's like "new liberal" when if anything it's an economic signifier lol”

All these defenses of religion as "WELL PEOPLE CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT SO LONG AS THEY'RE NOT ANTI-SCIENCE SOCIOPATHS" would have more weight if it wasn't the equivalent of "pink" rich white girlboss feminism.

A lot of these arguments are coming from privileged white people who are back-handedly defending the regressive shitheads they are close to. Whatever their philosophy, the overarching point is, they want to sleep with / do business with people who advocate a problematic thing, and they want you to shut up and back off because they have no intention of turning on that world that feeds them. They demand the right to be closeted progressives who can reap all the rewards from unjust traditional systems while hiding who they are irl.

They know tradfems "topping from the bottom" and theism are both nonsensical excuses for rich white men to talk hip while maintaining the 1880s. They know both are irrational and exploitative and defended with violence. But they are happy and comfortable and successful in that world, and how dare you demand they abandon it! They mortgage property (on stolen land) there! So they hem and haw and ah shucks and end up bravely declaring that believing in Jesus is okay while you wear a hair bonnet, so long as you're kind about it.

And that had nothing to do with a considered philosophical position. It is entirely because they need that world as badly as the evil shits who actually think it's good.

Neoliberalism is 100% making deals with the Devil so he will keep paying you with ill-gotten goods. And this is why, when fascism arises, they are utterly powerless to stop it. Because they need all of the things it does, they just hope it can be "nicer." So they can feel better every time they pass the pile of (brown) bodies it creates.

If you know atheism and equality are right, then you have no justification for arguing for exceptions for jackasses who oppose them. You're only doing that because you're keeping a toe in that world.

And that makes you exactly as guilty and shit as they are, you white supremacist coward.

Regressive nonsense kills us. No one gets a pass because they're your brother.

If you think so, you are as much in the way of peace and us reaching our potential as the worst person on Earth.

fuck capitalism

Well, sadly I fear that is the depth of your intellect.

Capitalism is one of the single greatest accomplishments in history. It not only had reduced the number of people in poverty to one of it’s lowest levels in human history

But has created the most prosperity and growth in the standard of living.

Now is it a perfect system? No, nothing is, as long as people are involved nothing is perfect, but it is the situation with the least amount of suffering.

Are there problems like cronyism? Certainly, but such rent seeking behavior is seen in all other systems that have ever been tried and the exploitation and corruption seen there is always more harmful. (As you will find that there is loose relationship between corruption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index# and economic freedom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_economic_freedom)

Now, it’s hard to say that what you’re exact complaints are given the long and detailed nature of your complaint…but let’s go over some popular one:

1. You hate Trump and Trump=Capitalism…except no. An ideal form of capitalism (which like an ideal form of communism, I will admit will never exist) would be a place of absolute free trade. That is zero tariffs, open borders, few regulations, impartial government that does not seek to benefit your donors (and certainly not the executive’s pocketbook), and, my favorite very open borders. None of that is Trump. Trump is an eternal enemy of capitalism and I would be more than happy to see him tried for all his crimes against humanity and given a very final punishment.

2. You think there should be a bigger safety net to help the poor. The problem is that while there is some societal correlation in the past between those who advocated for lesser entitlement and capitalism and those advocated for greater entitlement and socialism there is no real reason these have to be correlated. The Gods of Capitalism F.A. Hayek (https://www.amazon.com/Constitution-Liberty-Friedrich-Hayek/dp/0226320847/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2RZQHLL2MN920&keywords=Constitution+of+Liberty&qid=1689567479&sprefix=constitution+of+liberty%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-3) and Milton Friedman (https://youtu.be/xtpgkX588nM) advocated for robust safety nets. Most recently Charles Muarry of AEI has advocated for the best option currently a strong UBI attached to universal health care voucher that would ensure all citizens are covered under the safety net (https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-in-our-hands_105549266790.pdf). The problem is that when we talk about entitlement programs we need to look at them as to how large they are, how effective they are at helping people, and how efficient they are at moving dollars from tax revenue to dollars to help those who need it. Regrettably both he right and the left have focused their arguments mainly on size which has allowed for safety nets to become ineffective and inefficient…any educated reasonable capitalist (I can’t help moron how think capitalism means their bigotry even if it doesn’t) would want a highly effective and efficient medium sized safety net because it helps many people.

Now I could go on a lot of other things…but as you eloquent post has only two words, I feel you only deserve two points. Would you like to give a more detailed objection which I’m sure I can also refute?

Capitalism doesn’t solve every problem of humanity. No system will. But it has created vastly more prosperity than any other system ever conceived ever could, it has ended poverty for billions not created it, and until someone comes up with better variations it’s still the best option.

liberals and authcoms both have this enduring need for an army that, aside from all the other things they want that I balk from, eliminates the possibility of "unity"

you can't be calling for people to join an army and then imagine I'll think you're up to benevolence, you're planning on fixing things, you're going to free us -

that's such a lie! I don't get with the "you probably don't understand" notion either though I'll deploy it as a dig, I don't believe that. I think you do understand, consciously, that you have to trick people with emotionalism and mob fervor into sacrificing themselves to your doomsday horde.

getting people in your army is on the list of The most reprehensible atrocities.

"If *southern state* didn't want to die in *horrible catastrophe" maybe they should've voted better 😂"

Fuck queer people who live in the south then. Fuck black people who've been in the southern states for generations. Fuck homeless people who can't get out and have no shelter. Fuck poor people who can't move. Fuck disabled people who need to be close to support systems. Fuck minorities who don't want to move out of their homes I guess. All because you don't understand gerrymandering and have a neoliberal complex. Instead of being a self-righteous ass how about you think for 2 fucking seconds whether the general population needs to die for the policies enacted by governmental agencies they don't have control over.
