    And a good deal of them can be called slaves. They work as much as they can, they never rebel

    Yeah I'd say the defining trait of slaves throughout history is never rebelling.

    Slavery is good, because ants! Monarchy is good, because ants! When I cherry pick a handful of these species and observe them intentionally through the lens of my own preferred oppressive systems, they totally justify my personal opinions!

    Holy shit have these people never even spent 5 seconds watching an ant farm? The closest thing that could even remotely be argued to slavery in the entirety of the animal kingdom is brood parasitism, where a colony will kidnap the brood of other colonies, bring them back to their own colony, and raise them as their own in order to grow their colony size larger and quicker than they otherwise would be able.

        Ants are extremely interesting, I highly recommend hanging out with some ants some time, or at least checking out some videos on them. AntsCanada is a pretty good YouTube channel that gives an intro to antkeeping and shows some fun, if dramatized, looks at how ants behave and interact in their colonies.

          Seconding AntsCanada. I love that guy even if he does make observing ant behavior into a soap opera. It gets people watching.

            Haha yeah, definitely a bit of a soap opera, but there have been more than a few videos that are genuinely worthy of the clickbaity title. Discovering a new species in his backyard was pretty dope.

    The West is not 'falling'. It and most of it's organizational systems have been widely adopted by most of the world's countries, and likely will be used well into the future. It's just that the Chinese, in-lieu of actually understanding real Western tradition via their incorporation of Marx into their economical canon (even if they do not follow him strictly, he is still there and considered to be an important, if not one of the the most important, thinkers among the leaders of the CPC, have a more modernized and sophisticated understanding of what it means to exist and operate in a globalized capitalist system. Their whole society is based off of exploiting and developing that position, while ours is more than content to degrade and exploit.

    The biggest thing is that the Chinese seem much more aware of what they are doing, while the U.S. has, for the most part, tricked itself into thinking that it really is the good guy, which is why it is running into such a brick wall that incel chuds perceive as 'falling', even though dominate stagnation is usually the response of a 'winner' geopolitically!

    Who do you think Biden and his retinue think of as one of the foundational thinkers of the American national project. Jon Locke? Thomas Jefferson? Maybe, if we are lucky, FDR? Hell, given their political inclinations Strom Thurmond is more likely. Maybe Henry Kissinger? Ancient, mostly irrelevant thinkers, or people with highly specific ideology to their time. No large materialist thinkers, no city builders. The American project has lost vitality, but that is because we are sitting at the top, and that means there is nowhere to go but down.

    Also, this moron knows nothing of the constant wars, chaos and strife suffered by ancient empires. Rarely are there true periods of real political stability longer than 50 or 60 years.

    No investigation, no right to speak.

      I think the West is failing in the sense that living standards are on a downwards trend for the majority and political deadlock will prevent any of the necessary reforms to pull it out of tailspin. The Western economies mostly never recovered from 2008 and the twin shocks of COVID and backfiring sanctions against Russia are bringing the collective West to an inflection point where the rest of the world is no longer scared of it.

      That is not to say that the West can't do a lot of damage on the way down, or cruise for decades on inertia. Kind of like how Tsarist Russia was still able to trade punches with Germany for a couple of years despite being rotten to the core.

      I forgot exactly who said it or started it but last year at the start of the war one of the talking points from some people is the realization the difference between Kissinger and the neolibs in charge today is that Kissinger would not be stupid enough to make these mistakes and even double down on them.

      Some of the most ardent defenders of :porky-happy: really have no right to call us lazy.

      At least :grillman: goes to work and pretty much has spent every waking hour of his life at work with no vacation and little pay....and he likes it, and right now he's arguing with his boss to pay him in bragging rights.

      Now all the zoomer fash pretty much say "I'm too good to lift a finger in my life, I should simply be treated like royalty despite being a complete burden on society!" (Little does he know that he comes off more like Frieza or the Goblins from anime, rather than the protagonists).

    Reminds me of that meme about some edgy zoomer/millennial who's never been in a fight talking about how soft modern society needs to see blood run through the gutters and to get warriorpilled or whatever, vs a tweet from a former head of the IRA showing him on horseback with (his own words) saying something like "clippity cloppity my horse's hooves go boppity" (or something, I can't recall the exact wording)

    Every time someone complains about lowering rates of people having kids I feel like clubbing them to death. 8 billion people, resources scarce, climate change running rampant, mass extinctions almost guaranteed, and these bozos' conclusions are that not having even more people is a bad thing.

      These buffoons will say that lowering birthrates are bad, but will also complain about overpopulation. They're not arguing either of these in good faith, because what they actually want is eugenics and genocide.

        you see declining birth rates refers to white people while overpopulation is brown people. I hope this clarified matters

        It's disturbbingly close to actual nazi rhetoric by which I mean it's literally the same

        I'd like to coin Tankiedesantski's Law: the more loudly and enthusiastically a person advocates for Eugenics, the more likely they are to be sterilized in the first round of any eugenics program.

          well no because they are the ones who would be deciding who to kill/euthanise.

          there is no objective measure by which you can say one human life is worth more than another.

          As John Brown would point out the very idea is inherently balsphemous
