I know, it's not exactly the best way to measure where you stand politically but I'm just curious what your results are.
I score far left on the economical scale (almost hitting the edge) and about two squares from the center into the authoritarian quarter.
I'm perfectly in the centre, but the two extremes of my compass are totalitarian collectivism and egoist individualism. There is no second axis.
You need to read volume 3 of Capital, which covers rents and debts more thoroughly, then read The Dialectics of Dependency by Ruy Mauro Marini
Where on this axis is thinking that someone saying London buoys up the GDP of the rest of the country is saying it's a good thing? When I'm also saying the rest is poorer than the deep south 🇺🇸🍔🦅🗽?
GDP is a heavily inflated (by rents and debts and financial assets and shit like that) statistic, when I say London is a financial capital like NYC, Chicago, LA, and such, I am also talking about incredibly poverty stricken regions with high rents (for living). London has very high rent coming in internationally too. Also there are other classic dynamics like rural-urban migration for work which are very shitty for people idk read Wallerstein bruv. m8
It's like you can't disagree with anyone on here without them trying to disagree with everything you say & trying to categorically denounce your motivation for posting (being silly while burning Israel to the ground) 🌞
I never said you thought it was a good thing, I told you you're an idiot for thinking it automatically makes eastern Europe all of the poorest areas of Europe. Like obviously you understand that the wealth of Britain is within London, so I don't know why you'd latch onto eastern Europe when I said one of the poorest areas in Europe except for your latent bigotry.
I guess I'll assume you mean this in good faith for some reason, western NGOs are pretty active in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, etc that have a lot of poverty and population loss because of uhh reasons 😶🌫️
Again, I don't really care what a social enterprise is and if it's a halfway house, a shelter, a WeWork, or a bed-and-breakfast
Look, I know you want to feel like you made a correct choice when you guessed eastern europe - I'll happily give you that it could fulfil the qualifiers I used - but the simple fact of the matter is that it's not the only choice. There are a lot of divisions to europe, big and small, and you fucked up the 50/50 guess of east or west before you could guess a country, state/county, city, or, importantly for the area I was referring to, postcode.
You cared a lot when you thought it was a social worker. Interesting that you don't care now that it's a material way to improve the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable in society, isn't it?
Can I take a guess that you're fleeing your home for Vietnam because you've alienated everyone who might have been a potential ally by screaming that you're smarter than them, and think that Vietnamese people will tolerate you as a "weird american" instead of thinking you're a narcisisstic asshole too? You've talked about it enough it's pretty obvious you're just fetishing the country.
Not even British people say that, it's fetishizing, herr doktor, try to keep it together.
You reveal how shallow your understanding of the world is with comments like this. Hence why you can only imagine allies or work to be done in the first world. Even the idea of going to peripheral Europe affronts you, deeply.
I'm sorry if I offended your hyperlexical mind with my typo, we can't all be precocious 5 year olds.
No, not for you. I'm not talking about general allies to socialist causes, I'm saying that individual human beings, wherever you live, aren't going to want to personally work with you specifically. Whichever country you imagine life will be better in and people will finally like you, it's not happening. You'll still be you. Other individuals will work towards socialist goals while you... Post on twitter, and
, apparently.
No.
You started multiple threads crying to the mods because they didn't ban me the instant I replied to your messages - you literally sent me DM's that were addressed to the mods on the assumption that they were reading our messages in real time. Similarly:
No buddy, you keep following me around and restarting the argument on new threads while I reply to a handful of comments before clearing my messages. Can I, ONCE AGAIN, remind you how I keep having to bring up your blatant projection.
I clearly told you to get lost after you turned to this pedantic debate bro nonsense when you couldn't refute any of my points.
At a glance it seems like you still don't understand either what hyperlexical means or that the disengage policy is unclear and wasn't enforced for a few days.
Now that I understand telling people they're not allowed to talk to you no longer does anything and you have to tell people over and over again, I'd rather just treat you like a normal person and let you do these ridiculous rages over shitposting.
I pity you for having to interpret these messages the way you do emails at work. Twitter would kill you instantly.
I have other special education teachers to piss off online though, so please do get lost.
FYI I already accomplished more than you in the "winning local allies" category, I have gotten a councilwoman elected to EPICLY OWN JEFF BEZOS, I have [REDACTED] until [REDACTED MAJOR GROCERY CHAIN] [REDACTED]. It doesn't make any difference. All of my potential allies here eat out of my hand because they know if I sat down and explained to them how to do what I do, step-by-step, they couldn't. There's no PhD for what I do, and there never will be.
What have you done, complained about Keir Starmer? You're hopeless!
I'm just not gonna raise kids in a death trap. Good luck extricating other people's progeny from it buddy.
Why do you want people to eat out of your hand and brag about it online? I understand the virtues of obtaining difficult skills and helping your community with your skills. If someone can make some first world countries do socialist industrialization they should try and see if they are capable. If you can help Vietnam become a socialist economic superpower do it! For both socialism and your kids! Petty personal arguments don't seem like fruitful discussions though.
No, I don't, they should be able to exceed me, there need to be 20,000 mes. I have sat down and tried, repeatedly to get people to be as GOOD AT ONLINE as me. It does not work. So you are all fucked.
I'm always reposting my shit and sharing my RSS feeds on here not the one calling dependency theory racist, getting emotes removed, and trying to get other chiller (than me) people banned for not having been present for a struggle session about emotes 20,000 years ago
Besides, online is a side skill. What really matters is inventing new agriculture technologies (I can't do this, I am infinitesimal on the agripower scale).
Lol, no latent bigotry about Southeast Asia here 😭😭😭 The Vietnamese don't even count as potential allies. They're just for the crazy bag ladies of the West!
Let me quiz you, since you're so eager to engage indefinitely: what are several industries which are developing faster in peripheral countries than in core countries, what differentiates core countries from peripheral countries, what is the difference between building the industrial capacity of a peripheral country and running a glorified bed-and-breakfast in the british isles? These can all guide you to understanding what work there it to be done in Vietnam, and not in the UK or the US. You have a very limited imagination.
Again, it proves my point that when you disagree with someone on here, they are prone to disagreeing with everything you say. Talking about their job & social life & a billion presuppositions about why they don't need to take your arguments seriously, such as: it doesn't matter if it was already litigated, having a Fisher Price version of digitally burning the Israeli flag is more embarrassing than not having it at all. Still won't look good in court, or in a newspaper, which is what the concern is about anyways.
Again, all you have is insisting online interactions are a direct and proportional reflection of offline personality. Which bodes poorly for you considering:
YOU ARE IN A MONTHS-LONG (buckle up) ARGUMENT OVER A HEXBEAR DOT NET EMOTE
begging me to take you seriously, hell you're about to screenshot your degree. I could get you to do it, this is how I got a white special education teacher in 'Nam to already post hand and fail to send a communist party card to me. you mfs are just too easy, make wild accusations, you bleed for the rest of your life knowing I've got your number
It's called peripheral Europe for a reason 🤣
