Yes, that’s not the point.

two things are similar so you don’t really have strong feelings either way.

Acceptance or rejection, no strong feelings either way.

Maybe that’s what they are saying? They impartially judged the application, without strong feelings. Ironically.

Is rumored that the Target self check cameras show you the most unflattering image of yourself so that you will want to avoid stealing and getting that photo on the news.

Mobile phones constantly reveal the location to the cell towers. There is no need for an app. This is just mind games.

Google can predict traffic jams because they know the location of everybody. Nobody cares about tracking as long as they can ignore it. The app makes ignoring difficult.

Are most people ok with what is coming or do they just lack the capacity to prevent it?

Mostly true. It’s just very difficult to make a lot of money in a fully moral way so a lot of people are not entirely wrong.

Could be. What I wanted to say is that the sample size is bigger than two if the community cannot come up with successful bootstrapping stories.

I don’t have better proof. For me it was enough because I also read the comments and there don’t seem to be many success stories.

It’s enough to show that escaping poverty is not trivial.

Check the YT videos of people who said the same and voluntarily tried to escape a life at the bottom. It’s a comforting illusion that one could hustle onself back into ‘normal’ life. I have seen two attempts, and both gave up.

I am sorry. It was meant as a dark joke but totally flopped.

The link is still helpful. There is not much room for improvement if the current situation is good enough for most people.

Now you know why redistribution won’t happpen. The fucking tankies won’t be happy with limiting redistribution to the nation. They don’t want national, they want international socialism.

In that scenario, it’s better to keep going as before. Whatever people have now, the ones who can implement the change have more than 55,412 USD.

Tankies even have a word for it, if workers earn more than the average: Labor aristocracy.

Capitalism is also a symptom, a symptom of an intellligence and knowledge imbalance.

People need to be informed and organized to prevent being abused. If they are, they can run a socialist or communist country, or tax their oligarchs without being scammed into losing power.

Some people, e.g. ML, know how to defeat the oligarchs. The majority is not willing to learn and implement it. Even if there has been a revolution, the majority most likely will not stay sharp to prevent a decline.

If the oligarchs are willling to transition into another form of society, they don’t have anything that could take over.
