The primary forces that are destroying society are as follows: 1. Eugenics. No, not the idea that the human gene pool should be improved. The hijacking of that idea by psychopaths and sociopaths, who use it as an excuse to destroy potential competitors. Everyone wants the gene pool improved, but proliferating the genes of psychopaths and sociopaths has not improved the world at all. If anything, consistent weeding out of those through warfare and such is the reason for the existence of civilization. 2. Malthusianism. It's a lie that the world is overpopulated. What this really means is that the population is too large for tyrants to control with violence, and/or they want to murder and sterilize people that they don't have a use for. That ties in perfectly with Eugenics. 3. The fiat currency Ponzi scheme. It's a caste system which disadvantages the public by advantaging those who are in control of the money supply. If you cannot "borrow" money created out of thin air at 0% interest then you are not in the upper caste. Too big to fail organizations clearly have preferential treatment through bailouts, quantitative easing, stock buybacks, etc. I will even go so far as to say that these people who say that they want Eugenics, want the complete opposite. They don't want competitors, they want docile, obedient who are the minimum necessary intelligence to accomplish their assigned task. These people are not only noncompetitive, they are EXTREME anti-merit. They don't want to be better than you, they just want you to be less than them.

This should make you angry. The money is so broken that people think everything got expensive, when in reality the measuring unit itself was destroyed. A 40hr minimum wage week in 1971 earned $64. At $35 gold (1971), that was about 1.8 oz of gold. Today, that same amount of gold is worth $8K. READ that again! $8k for 40 hrs! Broken money is the cause of all the instability surrounding us. Bretton Woods was the literal slave machine created to "break" the money and control you.

Well if the Chef starts his own business and you request to work for him, then of course you should defer to his expertise, otherwise it could cause people to dislike the food and stop purchasing it. You can’t just show up with no knowledge or skills and start making decisions about subjects you have no knowledge or expertise in. I certainly wouldn’t expect to do that at a hospital, where someone could die as the result of a mistake. At some point you have to be reasonable. You can’t replace a nuclear physicist with some rando off the street.

@mentorstrophy @nyaraVT Yeah I suppose that is a hierarchy but you wouldn't extrapolate that to other hierarchies. I.e. you wouldn't say the UFC champion would be a good chef. The problem with many right-wingers today is that they do apply that logic to people at the top of wealth hierarchies.

Right Wing politics: > observe societal issues > blame them on those who can’t fight back > say you’ll fix the problem > attack the scapegoat you picked > keep lying about them > radicalise people > get elected > abuse the scapegoat > nothing gets better > pretend it’s helping

It is not “right wing” to acknowledge that if you’re a white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that you are lower in hierarchy as the result of a skills gap by comparison to a black belt. Politics has nothing to do with it. Can you compete with the UFC champion? Probably not. That makes you lower in hierarchy. None of that has anything to do with politics, money, or government. If you try to fight the champion you’re getting your ass kicked.

@mentorstrophy @nyaraVT Ok, you haven't made any particularly egregious statements, but these are undeniably right-wing arguments. That's not a good or bad thing, but you seem to be swimming in a sea of ideology without realizing it.

All of the arguments for euthanasia fail. Even if I agreed that people have some kind of moral right to kill themselves (which I don’t), euthanasia wouldn’t be needed to exercise that “right.” You can already kill yourself. The idea that people need some kind of state sponsored system just to commit suicide is totally incoherent, even on its own terms. And those term are totally deranged because in truth, again, there is no moral right to suicide. But that’s almost a separate question, or at least a question further downstream. When it comes to euthanasia, the first and most immediate question is not whether people have the right to kill themselves, but whether the STATE and the MEDICAL INDUSTRY have the right to kill people. Should doctors be in the business of deliberately killing human beings? Should we have a bureaucracy for suicide? These are the real questions. And even if you (wrongly) think that humans have a moral right to murder themselves, you should still be able to see why doctors and bureaucrats ought to have no role in it.

@Kroutonus @nyaraVT Yes it is, and ideology doesn't trump biology. Never has, never will. You can't defeat people that are more competent than you.

@mentorstrophy @nyaraVT That's not really relevant to my argument. Ideology is a disposition towards politics, not historically contingent phenomena. Left and right-wing politics will naturally arise on the island the moment people start negotiating with power.

No, You're just hung up believing things that are false. If you were on an island with a group of people, inevitably a hierarchy would form amongst you even if there wasn't a political system. Even if there were no money. On Sentinel island, where they never heard anything about left wing this or right wing that, there is a hierarchy.

Skills are not "right wing". Knowledge is not "right wing". If you know how to do something that someone else doesn't, you are above them in hierarchy at that skill. Students must learn from a teacher. A white belt learns from a black belt in martial arts. It's just the way it is. You are politicizing things that aren't political.

@mentorstrophy @nyaraVT Believing that hierarchies are inevitable is center-right. Believing that hierarchies are inherently good is right-wing. Believing that everyone at the top of wealth hierarchies is eminently competent at everything is a toxic manifestation of right-wing politics.

Hierarchy is when someone is an expert at a set of skills that you don’t possess, or for example you can’t defend yourself against. It’s not some cruel societal construct, it’s the result of nature. If I had to explain to you how to repair electronics, and you don’t know how, you’re not going to succeed unless you do what I say. Farmers know how to grow food. What do you know about Nitrogen.. potassium, phosphate? That’s hierarchy.

When the inside group of people created credit at 0% interest for themselves to gobble up capital with, the expansion of the money supply itself destroyed the purchasing power of lower and middle class people and their savings, while increasing their cost of livings, while wealthy people were protected by investments in assets.

@mentorstrophy @elonmusk “So no one could have accumulated and started their own business.” So unless someone had access to the secret stash of money no one was able to start a business because inflation prevented it. What you think is a straw man directly refutes you statement.

@AlexJayBrady @nyaraVT ..morality has nothing to do with it. If it did then LEFTISTS wouldn't have been associated with Epstein, pedophilia, the Rothschilds, etc.

There is no center because there is no left or right. It's a false dichotomy. Liars, rapists, murderers and pedophiles get you to ignore information about their evil by claiming you are on the opposite side of the dichotomy. The Epstein files showed corruption on both the left and the right. Therefore, the factions are financial, not political. It boils down to money, power, and people accepting bribes. They aren't really on opposite sides of issues, they are on the SAME side of receiving easy money.

Why would you start this post off with a straw man position that you know is absolutely absurd and doesn't represent what I stated? I said an inside group of people had advantage through credit and the banking system. That's not the same thing as saying no one started any businesses on their own dime. However, people haven't been able to save their own dime because of inflation caused by expansion of the money supply.

@mentorstrophy @elonmusk So no one started any businesses? I could explain how wrong you are but all you need to is go outside and look around. People start businesses every day. Some fail and some succeed but you’re fixated on some hidden org that controls their fate.

An inside caste of people had access to credit created out of thin air at 0% interest with which to gobble up all of the capital before doing any work at all. Likewise inflation itself has continuously stolen capital from the common person that they would have and could have accumulated themselves to start their own businesses.

@mentorstrophy @elonmusk Somebody should learn about small businesses and what they have the potential to be. Every single business started small and had people that were driven to succeed. Wal Mart grew from a single store. Bezos started Amazon in his garage.

@JohnRad15 @michaelevknight Argument A: "Doing something doesn't make me evil" Argument B: "You said I'm evil" Argument A is not equal to argument B. You turned Argument A into a straw man argument B. Therefore, you are a liar.

@JohnRad15 @michaelevknight I didn't say that you said I was. Therefore I didn't make anything up. I denied being evil, because I'm not. Central banks and the fiat currency Ponzi scheme are evil. So stop accusing me of making things up.
