  • [earlier] Glad you can afford housing and food on one paycheck!

    I don’t need to assume your tone. Just simply assuming things like being able to afford things when someone is not (as they have stated in their first reply to you) is arrogant, albeit unintentionally. How do you think this reads to the other person? Personally, I would feel like as if someone punched me in the face. To then say that the other party simply misunderstood you after they rightfully corrected you, is only fuel to that fact, or will seen as such.

    How does them stating they get by better in this situation help someone that doesn’t?

    Does them stating that bar people from being helped, are they necessarily doing better than people working two jobs? I would say the former is not an issue, i.e. it doesn’t demean the struggles of someone with two jobs. With the latter it’s hard to make any good conclusions about concretely. They didn’t say that they are doing better, therefore the people dealing with two or more jobs jobs should whine less.

    Edit: phrasing/clarification













  • I guess I do! They must be actually gassing Jews and invading Poland during that education! Because that is literally the only possible way for it to be in “living memory” by definition!

    You idiot really believe that the people who voted the nazis in, and celebrated them were like “Oh nooo we did a big bad~~” after they lost? People wanted hitler back after the war. Antifascist consciousness arose only in the late 70’s. The whole living memory thesis remains to be horseshit.

    Those material relations have shaped the thoughts and cultures of those countries, to make them less prone to conspiracy theories.

    This is not what I am saying and I do not agree with that. This is complete horseshit still as it hinges on the idea of living memory o algo.

    I’ve been saying this whole time is that it was the material relations that shaped people’s thoughts and ideas!

    You did not.

    Are you claiming that Japan was a stateless society? Or did you just provide me with more evidence that states can improve people’s quality of life?

    this doesn’t follow and is bullshit. I said the state apparati did not lengthen life expectancy out of the goodness of their hearts. I said they did it so they have a workforce with which they can “win” in state-state competition. Your thought about the benevolent state is a fiction.

    What have I said that’s “atrocious?” Wanting to remove misinformation? Acknowledging that material relations are a thing that exist?

    Your pro-state top down approach and speech policing is quite horrible, yes. A genuinely unsympathetic and cynical approach to politics that can aptly be described as nannying. Cynical because of the distrust of the organic action of the subjects – workers. You are a real counterpoint to staffordshire beer, in the worst way. I will quit talking to you. No surprise that your moderation history is full of bans.


  • claiming that it’s in the “living memory” for half of Germans is just factually wrong and shows that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

    You have no clue about Germany and you underestimate holocaust education.

    What does “concrete interactions” mean, and how is it different from “material relations?”

    It’s not any different and I did not debate the thought of material relations.

    then calling me a “fool” for valuing vaccines so highly is stupid and meaningless.

    I called you a fool because you said they are mankind’s greatest achievement. That is objectively foolish

    “Materialism is when you believe in mysticism”

    I did not say that, nor do I believe in mysticism. I believe in investigating that which appears mystical, that was my point. You idiot. Quit putting words in my mouth, you are proving more and more with every message how disingenuous your approach is.

    moralist

    Is it wrong for me to be?

    Yes, science does not operate on morals. You claim to be interested in a social science of sorts.

    The PRC literally doubled life expectancy within a generation.

    So did other countries in (a similar way at least) that developed extremely quickly, like Japan and so on. China is not special and it was in the interest of China to maximise their population potential to get ahead in state-state competition.

    What on earth are you talking about? Please stop “guessing” about my views,

    I don’t have to guess your views, they’re atrocious enough.
