I can't stop thinking about this after the companies turning their ass backwards for China, Chile going back to a dictatorship and almost all neglect of human rights that happens daily in the world because of money.

Companies are fighting against workers (who are those that keeps the companies running) interest for basic human right just so they can maximize their profits, how is this sustainable in any form?

It's just depressing seeing all bad shit happen in this world and the ultimate factor is almost always because of money and greed. Fuck just look at climate change, almost none in the rich class wants to do anything about it because they can't find a way to make a profit off it, just what the fuck. Also let's not even mention how morally wrong is for a billionaire hold insane amounts of money when this money could be used to help other people.

Whenever people glorifies their millionaires actor/actress I can't stop thinking about why, why would you go crazy for someone who holds the riches that they won't spend in their lifetime meanwhile there are people who can barely even bring food to their families table.

I'm just really depressed with the state of things. And no changes are going to happen until we have a major crisis in our world, which we are marching towards, no way this is sustainable in a long form. Climate change will prove how fucking flawed capitalism is when everyone burns because no one in power could give a shit about making the world a better place, because MONEY!!

Capitalism is already destructive. Millions of starving children, millions uninsured or underinsured, tens of thousands that are homeless, wealth inequality at it's highest.
Quote
Just look at how many people are employed in the gig economy making starvation wages. Look at how many people have died in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. There were something like 5000+ workplace fatalities each year in the United States. That’s not counting the 100,000 fatalities per year from trauma and other health issues. These capitalists deserve to burn in hell for an eternity.
Quote
Capitalism has already managed to make the perpetual state of rampant socio-economic inequality look and feel normal.
Quote
All signs point to yes. Constant growth is unsustainable. Capitalism is killing the planet to enrich the few at the expense of the many. And capitalism is inherently violent. We are going to have to end it in order to have a viable future for the planet.

we need a new word to describe only the negative aspects at the fringe of capitalism because I can't take anyone seriously who says things like fuck capitalism

literally everything you enjoy exists because of capitalism

if capitalism was suddenly gone it would be accidentally invented again on a small scale, eventually growing to large scale without serious government controls in place

I suppose what they're probably looking for is "unchecked capitalism" but that takes too long to type

Unrestrained capitalism absolutely will for sure. It's crazy when you look back to the 50's or 60's. Companies were profitable enough that they employed a lot of people on decent wages where with the costs of living at the time they could actually forge a life worth living, but nice houses and cars and save money. At the time the people at the top of these companies earned very comfortable wages but they were not stratospherically more well off than their lowest paid worker. Since the 80s this relationship has gone off the deep end. The rich at the top are only ever there to make more money and it seems even when they fail drastically, ruin the company and caause thousands of job losses they STILL walk away with huge renumeration packages.

All it requires is a roll back. All it requires is some regulation and fair rules to prevent runaway wealth at the top at the very clear expense of staff and consumers. Capitalism can be a good system if it has humanity at its heart and extreme greed is quashed. Sort out tax havens along with that, sort out certain sectors where private companies should not be allowed to be run for profit (HEALTHCARE and I'd say transport and hell, even housing).

Boom. Runaway greed will eventually catch up with us all. People at the stop can still be rich, lead comfortable no worry lifestyles... You don't all need penthouses overlooking NYC.

Capitalism in its current evolution of globalism is harmful. Capitalism in itself is not harmful. The effect globalism has on capitalism creates problems of lowered working conditions/benefits and job losses and severe effects on the environment, as the significant climate change contributors compete on an unprecedented global scale with each other. The interdependence globalism has created in the world economy has reached a negative point where if you knock the top, you fuck most small to medium sized businesses. These big companies depend on smaller businesses, so we have reached a point where there's so much interdependence that doing anything to significantly stop the harmful effects of globalism that the larger companies and liberal/third way politicians/governments created will completely fuck over smaller ones, when they're not the problem.

Globalism and its role in the world economy and national economies in context of capitalism is a core issue of the modern capitalism debate, yet it's an issue not debated, especially not in the recent years any more, because for a while far-right latched themselves onto anti-globalism although that was driven by immigration, so it seems people are afraid of debating it, yet before the far-right latched themselves for a while on it, in Europe at least. it was mostly the *left* that was anti-globalism because of its destructive role regions, communities, and sectors.

It's weird how all the answers to solving climate change are beliefs/causes that the far left have believed long before climate change became a concern.  It's such an interesting coincidence that it all lined up that way.

Welp, I guess people who find Scorce's statements unfair and a tad gatekeep-y are Nazis now, pack it in boys, the Anti-MCU crowd has reached their biggest low yet.

Sad to see that movie discourse on Era has reached this sort of level, but I guess some people just gotta feel good about their superior Cinema/Kino no matter the cost.

Now that's some grade a reaching. No one in this thread has said MCU films are high art, or even want them to be considered as such. That's ridiculous. Not to mention that there's little to no link to the MAGA crap.

I could be saying the people who discount MCU films as cinema are like the Gamergaters saying people who play cellphone games aren't gamers. Still find the meme funny, or accurate?

Except that several people have called how shitty that fucking "joke" and comparison is. Like I said, I could be comparing Scorcese Stans to Gamergaters telling people that they're not real gamers (TM) because they play cellphone games. Would be funny to see how long that would go without me getting banned over it.

Comparing people to Nazis over your bullshit Film Elitism isn't a fucking joke. (Since when has Era adapted the "It's just a prank, brah!" mindset anyway? This is toxic as fuck.) And who's even mentioning racism? Speaking as someone who adores Scorcese's output, Scorcese fanboys on this forum are looking incredibly bad.

Don't tell me how I'm supposed to feel while you're discounting a shitty ass comparison as "It's just a joke".

Your attempts at gish-gallopping are tiring. There's a meme comparing MCU Stans to the Alt-Right and you, for literally no reason, bring up Racism. Are you one of those "tHe AlT-RiGhT aRe'Nt NaZiS" folks?

Do not tell me how to feel. You're the one defending a Nazi comparison as "It's just a joke". You've no authority on if I did, or did not get it, simply because you agree with the meme and find it funny. So miss me with your shitty ass smokescreens trying to talk a toxic meme into something harmless.

every week father government provides every citizen with the week's food, including 1 steak

oleg is good painter, enjoys steak

boris says "oleg, you are good painter, will you paint me a lovely painting"

oleg says "I enjoy steak boris, and I know that you do not enjoy it as much as me, if you give me your weekly steak I will paint you a painting"

transaction takes place

others hear about this arrangement and start offering their steaks to oleg in exchange for paintings

oleg does not have time to paint all the paintings so gives some steaks to other painters as subcontractors

oleg does not have the stomach to eat all these steaks before they spoil so he begins accepting steak redemption tickets to be used at a later date

steak-backed monetary system begins

The manga itself isn't even THAT problematic compared to a lot of manga, it's just a slice of life romantic comedy between college students, but it's incredibly inappropriate to use as a Red Cross promotion. It's like using an American college sex comedy movie like Zoolander to promote the Red Cross. Tone deaf.

that said, the "american college sex comedy" was one of my favorite genres when i was in my teens.

Quote from: FeistyBoots
You have some fucking nerve to accuse others of not listening after repeatedly dismissing trans folx in this thread. Fucking wow.


spoiler (click to show/hide)
Adding to this because all of you deserve to know you're valid, loved and supported, and mental health should not be stigmatized!

I have a number of clinically-diagnosed co-morbid mental health/neurological conditions:

ASD 1 (what used to be known as Asperger's until the DSM 5, diagnosed last month at 43 years old)
ADHD (primarily impulsive, re-diagnosed a few months ago after ignoring my first diagnosis for 20 years and now on medication that has changed my life for the better)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder
PTSD (see spoilers)
Gender Dysphoria

So as you can see, I'm something of a mess, haha!

However, I'm actually in a good place in my life. You see, throughout my life I suffered major traumatic events, such as

SPOILER: TRIGGER WARNING: BAD STUFF LIKE ABUSE AND SUICIDE ATTEMPTS
•Being kidnapped as a baby by my mother to spite my father, whom she lied about my entire childhood saying he threatened to kill us, only admitting the lie when I was in my 20s (he is now in my life after I finally found him a few years ago)
•Emotional neglect and abuse from that same alcoholic mother and her alcoholic new husband; I was the unwanted leftover child from the father she stole me from (along with everything he owned) while my younger half-brother was the golden child who could do no wrong no matter how much wrong he did
•Physical abuse (whipped by a belt and sometimes getting the buckle) from the stepfather
•Intense recurrent bullying throughout primary school, including physical assault every day for 2 years until the teachers started keeping me inside at recess
•Zero emotional support or recognition from my purported family as I was struggling in school with undiagnosed neurdevelopmental disorders (almost failing out of school in 3rd/5th/6th/10th/last college grades)
•3 years of sexual abuse from a babysitter starting at age 8
•Several serious suicide attempts at 9 years old, and suicidal ideation throughout the years (I'm okay now)
•Loneliness, isolation and social confusion my entire life
•Death threats (I once had to talk a guy down from shooting me)
•Deep, deep, deeeeeep repression about my gender identity and sexual orientation (child of a military family growing up in Florida in the 80s, I was doomed)
•and much, much more!


And yet, I not only survived, I'm thriving.

I have a wonderful partner in crime and love who adores me and whom I adore, who I'm moving in with next month. I have a college degree (B.S. in broadcast media science), and an amazing job with Blizzard Entertainment working on my favorite game (Overwatch) after jumping careers following 16 years in broadcasting. I'm getting amazing therapy, am healing, and am actively transitioning. I have lots of genuine friends. I'm respected. I love myself. I'm worthy.

And so are you. You can hang on, and grow, and succeed. I've been remarkably fortunate, while also having to fight like my life depended on it (sometimes literally, see above). I believe in you just as much as I now believe in myself.

So hugs to all in need who want them, and remember: you're not alone. <3

Non binary people deserve so, so much better. Their pain should not be monetized by an ally. They shouldn't be stereotyped as an altright hate mob when there has been FAR more decent, civil critique than abuse in the public sphere.

Im honestly incredibly disappointed that people I thought could intelligently navigate this issue, like Lindsay and especially Kat Blaque, have essentially shown they don't give a shit about the safety of nonbinary lives through the irresponsible, ignorant responses they've given. It shocks me that people who should know that we NEED to hold Allys to a higher standard are tripping over themselves to make it about how upset they are that anyone (apparently) wants a comment on how they feel about being featured alongside truscum.

The focus of this should be NBs, the only people who actually have something to lose in this shit. Not contrapoints new video. Not PTs new video. Not Lindsay 's warped views on twitter discourse.

There's been a disturbing amount of anti-NB sentiment stirred up throughout the internet because of this and Contrapoints seriously needs to apologize for the harm shes caused as soon as possible before it gets worse.

yea its pretty despicable

Cancel FFC.

In REEEsetera world, all movies are 19 hours long due to the need to present the extensive background motivations of all characters, including "unknown henchman #3" who was deprived an education by his overbearing father and, due to his lack of saleable skills in the modern workplace, fell into a life of crime. Either that, or all films now consist of 2 characters spending 15 minutes going through their list of acceptable personal pronouns and then monologuing endlessly about the need to seize the means of production.

Contrapoints content is absolutely meant to be informative with a deeper message. I don't really know how you can really see it any other way when they're incredibly long video essays.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/contrapoints-opulence.146668/post-25658780

this is like when amirox would write mile long OPs about a random social issue or incident and would just get 5000 "good post OP" 1 min after it was posted from people who just liked it because it was long
what name is amirox posting under on reeeeeeee?

truscum isn't a fetish?

Truscum is a derogatory label for people who think that you need a medical basis/gender dysphoria for calling yourself trans.
Yes?

This issue is equivalent to a bunch of white boys being upset over videogames because nonbinary people are also used to having their needs addressed and their safety prioritized over others, as can be seen in this very thread.

I can't believe he just dared to compare this to gamergate, disgusting. Oh wait, he's arguing against contrapoints, carry on.

Quote from: OniLinkPlus, @VoicesOfViolet
I'm late on this I feel but I'll toss in my voice. I used to love Natalie's content, but when The Aesthetic came out I was hurt. A lot. It's been a long time since I've seen it but it very much felt at the time like she was saying either that "trans people need to try to pass in order to be valid" or "the reality is that people won't see us as valid unless we try to pass so we should give it". I hate both of those takes. She reenforced that with her Twitter thread she postly shortly after, which got her in a lot of trouble and she then deleted it. I stopped watching her then as it felt like trust had been violated. A lot of what she said in the Twitter thread especially was aimed at "nonbinary people can't be seen as valid by society" and it felt like she was trying to tell us to give up.

Then a few months ago, that awful Twitter thread where she said she hates giving pronouns because it feels othering. Which, I get that, but I have multiple problems with it: not only did she in the thread dismiss nonbinary concerns and put her own passing privilege up as the more important factor, but it again felt like she was saying "give up". "Don't normalize trans and nonbinary people". "Don't normalize the idea that pronouns are not necessarily tied to gender". "Stop fighting for progress". That's basically what it felt like to me.

And then this video. She straight up hired the guy who outed Lana Wachowski and who is a well know truscum. This coming just months after her apology for offending the nonbinary community. That's three strikes against enbies, four if you count the Twitter thread for The Aesthetic as separate from the video. At this point it's a recurring pattern and it feels like everyone is just... Ignoring it.

Every time she does shit, cis people are up in arms to defend her. She is the one trans voice that lefttube listens to and she's using that status to do harm to a large part of the community. It's getting to the point where it feels like breadtube as a whole, in defending her so vehemently despite repeatedly failing to even begin to improve, just does not actually give a shit about nonbinary people. It feels like we're being pushed out and it's very disheartening and frustrating.

If Natalie can improve, I am all for that. So far she has not demonstrated she is willing to, and she's being enabled by her friends who defend her and refuse to call her out.

their idea of an ideal economic system is fun to imagine
given how much they enjoy being disney drones it'd be the wonkiest anticap capitalism system ever, free shit, no responsibilities, and exist to consume MCU/SW and do nothing else
