  • They were not so thoroughly defeated to be utterly crushed. And you forgot that the North wasn’t too different.

    That one group of people today chooses one role model from the past, and the other another, doesn’t mean anything here is about the past. Not that past anyway, Reagan perhaps.

    About Germany - it was divided in two parts, one received your proposed treatment, another didn’t (the baddies were in fact given a lot of important posts and weren’t really prosecuted, also till early 70s polls showed the opinion that National Socialism is a good ideology as pretty common). One has a lot of neo-Nazis and conservatives now, another doesn’t. The one that didn’t receive your treatment doesn’t. This shows that you can’t force people to think the way you want.




  • I just had a comparison between Musk and Henry Ford pop up.

    And a thought, that enshittification doesn’t hurt us, them too.

    Such people then were capable of organizing efficient mass production with the capital. Now Tesla exists because of SpaceX PR success.

    Musk is not that dumber than Ford.

    The majority didn’t agree that everyone has critical flaws, that was going on for half a century, thus a society for perfect people was built. Everyone has critical flaws and everything has. Difference between programs and laws of 1950 and now is similar, but not computers and humans.

    Hence libertarianism, with nested, parallel and relative legal systems.









  • Conservatives have a hard time believing someone like that isn’t getting rich quick on $AOCCoin or LeftyBear merch offerings.

    Being dishonest you have a bigger selection of instruments to gain power. So politicians are more likely to be dishonest than the average person. And then a dishonest person would use the opportunity.

    Anyway, cool for AOC to be honest, but unfortunately her views (specifically support of MMT) are a certain way to nuke the economy of the USA.

    If we detach ourselves from the emotional part (suicides, hunger deaths), it may even be liberating, if USD as a currency takes a 10000x inflation in a year or so, while big businesses reliant on American system of connections grown by decades of stability die. US main capital is still human capital, competent people and their knowledge. No hyperinflation will kill that, if recovery is quick enough.

    Except that’s not the way people like AOC promise.
