@dubbub @BattleDwarfGimli @TrevorGoodchild @Hertz @PraxisOfEvil @sickburnbro > That's the reason why a blue-collar worker could buy a house debt-free with a few years of savings in the 60s, but now can't anymore.
People point to a single time in history as if it is the norm. Houses were small and cheap because of lots of dead folks, a lot of surplus production after the end of the war economy, and the government creating tons of debt we are paying for today.
> It's from the Bible.
It still does not match me. I am ambition and anxiety made flesh. -

@dubbub but in WW2 folks were doing limited trench fighting with bolt actions and battle riffles, nowadays folks will be either getting blown up with grenades strapped to DJIs or trading suppressive bursts in the ruins of some shelled out oblast
I wish somebody made a long, lightweight spike bayonet for ARs because the SW M9 clone I have kinda sucks at everything -

@dubbub probably for the same reason the m16 bayonet isn't very good at being a bayonet - melee combat is extremely rare
how often will "special forces" be fighting trained knife fighters in a knife fight? how often will they need to use a knife for general purpose? -

@MK2boogaloo @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired > man if you want to achieve something great it could be done.
It is not about the to have luxury or yachts or things that people think folks with money want money for. It is the ability to actually do something grand like lay waste to some nation of sub humans, or cure a disease, or build something incredible. Or something practical like building a company not infested with gays and niggers that lets people make good money and live good lives.
I have enough money that I give myself a small percent of my income as an allowance so I don't just buy everything and run out of space and reasons to make more money. It is about being able to do stuff that actually makes a difference.
But if there was somebody putting a cap on what I could achieve, he would be my most hated enemy and I would put every fiber of my effort towards killing him. I may not live to touch the heavens, but anyone put up nets to keep me from them needs to be put in the ground. -

@MK2boogaloo @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired > all types of capitalism encourages the shitty behavior that most corpo do
you are operating under a very common worldview - best I can offer is this extremely old and very dated book compared to modern reactionary right wing thinking. It breaks down:
- how class socialism (i.e. communism and a dictatorship of the proletariat resulting in a classless society) doesn't and can't exist
- how capitalism as a class model died in the first decades of the 1900s
- and how everyone today exists in a managerial economy that did not exist in the first half of the industrial revolution
- and points out things like mass production for money are relatively novel, only existing for ~500 years
It is also wildly wrong about some of its predictions.
Hitler was not a socialist in any economic terms, he was not a socialist in the social meaning of any of the other socialist movements. He was closest to the fascists but his was a racial program, unlike those of say Mussolini. -

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @MK2boogaloo Are they a problem because they are rich corpo types, or because often incentives are set up to encourage them to do shitty things that hurt the group?
As a kike whose business books I like said "Tell me how you'll measure me and I'll tell you how I'll behave."
Making doing the right thing beneficial and aligning outcomes on doing those things induces the correct behavior. -

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @MK2boogaloo Which capitalism encouraged what and from when to when? The term is loaded, like NAZI, to mean whatever people want it to mean to the point it has lost all meaning and acts as an emotional signifier more than a technical one.
If I may make an appeal to authority, Hitler himself was agnostic on the economy and laid out goals and let experts figure out how to make it work. Those experts, who produced an incredible economy, used capital (private ownership of machines, techniques, and land) and markets to deliver most of the goods, services, and industrial outputs and used state ownership sparingly.

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @MK2boogaloo there is always a hierarchy, the question is do the people at the top care for and like and want to see the lives of the lower classes do well or are they spiteful and hateful
there must always be a prince, lords, lesser elites, and common folk - the heavens are so ordained and the basic laws of statistics and Pareto distributions make this so
there can only be one king, anyone who claims otherwise is either a clown or a liar and is offering no crown but chains or poison -

@MK2boogaloo @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired Every man a king is the lie that makes every man a slave. If somebody tells me I can make no more than X, do no more than X, achieve no more than X then it is my duty to shiver his spine and drape myself in ribbons of his viscera.
It is good to work for your volk, to have a family, to be a master and steward of lands and to help others. To take on duties and to be rewarded for their completion by the means to take on new duties. But to be chained and yoked like some field nigger and be robbed to give sucker to those lazy and worthless who refuse to be dutiful and productive is worth than death and calls for blood spilled and skulls stacked. -

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @MK2boogaloo "Everyone being a Millionaire"
That Huey Long shit sounds super gay and fake. When I push people to make more money, those folks act like faggots who are proud of being poor while spending every dime they don't have on stupid shit. I am convinced most poor people like being poor.
Marx noted quite correctly that "rich" is a purely subjective measure and class resentment has nothing to do with material condition, on class comparison. And when somebody's politics are more retarded than Marx, he deserves the bullet he got.
> In March 1933, Long revealed a series of bills collectively known as "the Long plan" to redistribute wealth. Together, they would cap fortunes at $100 million, limit annual income to $1 million, and cap individual inheritances at $5 million.
What a faggot piece of shit. -

Today I coded a stupid shitty data store when I should have just downloaded and wired up keydb (I am not going through the hell of asking my client for a policy exception to download a free and bug free software.)
It would be really funny if somebody ever tries to use this code to save from two or more instances or threads at the same time, or save commas or quotes or colons, because their files is going to be corrupted irreversibly :5head2: . -

@Starprophet1 @Charles_in_Charge @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @PopulistRight @VaxxSabbath Starlink is cool. After that, what else can make money in space?
I say all of this as a SpaceX fan. I just think that there are very good reasons nobody else is even trying to compete with Elon. I hope he gets cities on Mars. I just don't think state actors care about that. -

@Starprophet1 @PopulistRight @Charles_in_Charge So, in my opinion the reason nobody before Elon made reusable rockets is because they were always just repurposed weapons tech. If you need to make a rocket to kill somebody then it doesn't need to land - so why not just figure out how to make it carry something other than a warhead.
If I were Russia I would be much more interested in developing better and more mass manufacturable weapons that can also be used for launching stuff to space than spend those limited resources on landing when that is <1% of all rocket needs.
TbH, making disposable rockets way cheaper so you can make more weapons is probably a better bang for the buck from a state actor point of view. -

@Charles_in_Charge @Starprophet1 @PopulistRight With these things being government funded, there is also no "need" to win outside of politics. NASA makes some money, but is not a profitable business mining the moon or something. It does some research that is funded by taxes. The same is true for almost all space launches, save commercial satellites.
Without businesses needing launches, how much to spend on space flight is largely a policy matter - not an economic one. Roscosmos is surely fuming that they aren't getting the same volume of launches - but for the Kremlin getting stuff into space is only useful as a capability. Without our bottomless petrodollars, they have other priorities like finishing off Ukraine, possibly taking on more land, and trying to populate the vast tracks of virgin land they could be mining and farming. Sending up another science experiment is not that valuable for them unless they overtake the US.
SpaceX will have to figure out some way to convince people to spend huge sums to put all of that mass in orbit, the moon, and eventually mars. That or they will have to make a business case up themselves.
