The reason why we have a 2-party system is that "First Past the Post" election system always reduces down to a 2-party system in the end. This is also true. But the corporate power behind the Democrat and Republican parties also play a big role. Kamen_Rider_Blade posted...

RchHomieQuanChi 10/14/22 6:12:19 PM #134 | TotACon posted... Then it's a meaningless word in this context. Not really, because it informs a lot about the way our society is structured today. Kamen_Rider_Blade posted... Then be a indepenedent contractor and become your own boss. Individualized solutions don't work for systematic problems. I, as an individual, probably could become an independent contractor, sure. But that's completely irrelevant to the idea that capitalism necessitates an underclass of workers. And if everybody did decide to just stop working for employers and become independent contractors, then it simply wouldn't be capitalism anymore. It's actually more in line with what socialists would advocate for. --- I have nothing else to say |

RchHomieQuanChi 10/14/22 5:53:05 PM #125 | TotACon posted... So everyone who works a job on a business they don't own is being exploited, according to you? By definition, yes. Again, it's not meant to be a moral judgment. It doesn't mean your employer sucks. But objectively speaking, as a worker, you're always going to be paid less than what you're actually worth. --- I have nothing else to say |
Topic | The best states in the world are capitalist |
RchHomieQuanChi 10/14/22 5:46:04 PM #120 | TotACon posted... No, it doesn't. That's a consequence of unregulated capitalism (neoliberalism), not a necessity of the system as a whole. An exploited underclass is a fundamental component of ALL forms of capitalism, not just unregulated capitalism. In order for capitalism to even function correctly, there needs to be a minority class of capitalists who earn money/wealth through the assets they own and a majority class of workers who earn their money through labor. And necessarily, the workers must be paid significantly less than the value of what they produce in order for the capitalist to remain profitable. "Exploited" in this case isn't necessarily a moral judgment, but rather a literal definition to describe the nature of this relationship. What do you think a small privately owned bakery is? Marx actually referred to this kinds of businesses as "petit bourgeois". Basically business owners who aren't wealthy enough yet to be full on capitalist. But yes, even in companies like this, there's exploitation so long as there are workers who aren't invested in the business. --- I have nothing else to say |

RchHomieQuanChi 10/14/22 3:24:28 PM #34 | It can't be overstated enough that high taxes aren't necessarily a bad thing when they're used to cover things you'd pay much more money for out of pocket. An extra $100 out of your paycheck doesn't matter if it means not having to pay $70 in insurance, on top of whatever crazy ass out-of-pocket prices you'd spend in an American hospital. I mean, people living in these countries are generally happier than those living in the U.S., so they're doing something right. --- I have nothing else to say |

Seems like a pretty bad faith argument if you ask me. You'll find that most leftists are well aware of the fact that places like Finland are capitalist. The argument they usually make is that them incorporating socialist ideology has made them better for it, while countries like the USA have become allergic to anything even remotely resembling socialism, and have devolved into complete and utter degeneracy because of it. --- I have nothing else to say |

Topic | Why do so many Star Wars fans hate the new trilogy so much? |
RchHomieQuanChi 10/10/22 3:03:35 PM #69 | IShall_Run_Amok posted... If people can be gaslit into strongly thinking otherwise, you can get them to believe anything. The prequels have all of the flaws, or "flaws" in case of things that aren't really problems but just things that people don't like, in spades, to the extent that it's usually worse in the prequels, compounded by worse performances and worse visuals (TPM is the only one that stands out for its visuals). I think people like the idea of the prequels more than that of the sequels, but that's gleaned from filtering the actual movies out and further distilling them down to a narrow and calculated abstract concept, and propped up as a defining and decisive victory in the movies' favor. There's also a lot of revisionist history due to The Clone Wars and other Clone Wars-era content fixing a lot of what people didn't like about the PT. Anakin and Darth Maul especially are characters that got propelled thanks to the cartoon. --- I have nothing else to say |

Topic | Why do so many Star Wars fans hate the new trilogy so much? |
RchHomieQuanChi 10/10/22 5:13:38 AM #61 | There's a lot of truth to both the ST being disorganized, as well as Star Wars fans generally being a fickle bunch. The biggest problem was Disney not having a concrete direction for the new trilogy, which made it easy for fan reaction to drastically influence the movies. Every movie in the trilogy feels disjointed because every single one of them was a response to fan reaction. TFA was a reaction to Star Wars fans' dislike of the PT. TLJ was a reaction to Star Wars fans claiming that TFA played it too safe. TRoS was Disney trying to play it safe again and literally undoing everything TLJ had setup. The reason Mando ended up being so good was in large part because it knew what it wanted to be and didn't let fanboys steer it in a particular direction. I stand firmly in the camp who believes that TRoS is really what ruins the trilogy. Even if you didn't like it, a trilogy can come back from a mediocre 2nd installment. But when the entire 3rd movie is written as a passive-aggressive retcon to the 2nd movie to such a degree that its own writing and logic suffers, yeah, you can't bounce back from that. --- I have nothing else to say |
