"I am a neoliberal, I would let 1000s starve to triple my net worth"
I can't think of anything to say. I guess another lib scratched.

"I am a shitty human being therefore being shitty must be human nature."
Top logic there lmao. Fucking darwin awards material.
This kind of thinking is what you get when people are unnaturally alienated from the rest of their species by capitalism. They aren't a part of anything greater. Only themselves matter. This is why you see this rabid selfishness where even parents sell the next generation for a quick buck. It's species suicide by greed and It's really sad to see. Hopefully, it can be stopped before it offs the entire species or humans will be a footnote reading "Extinct: Too stupid to work together to ensure the continuation of their species."
"Do you feel like your food is unnaturally abundant and therefore your desire to eat it can betray you?"
"Sure"
"Do you feel like your software development job has you more
sedimentarysecretary than the millions of years of ancestors that came become you?""I suppose "
"Do you think the contrived , artificial society that we live in has undermined your ability to cooperate like your ancestors did for millions of years?"
"No, I'm simply doing human nature "
If humans are selfish, then why big brain and big noticing other people's reactions?
Why do you think some people become... this when alienated? I feel very isolated and lonely under capitalism, but would never do something so evil. And maybe they wouldn't either but... I don't know. I just don't understand how a person becomes like this.
No I haven't read theory

human nature
have to take a nap before I actually think about it
It’s groupthink and ideology
A little of column A and a little of column B
From what i can find, this person posts on Ancap, lives in San Fransisco, and is a senior software engineer. Also got scammed by an obvious mlm scheme. Into the
he goes.Also got scammed by an obvious mlm scheme
They didn't take him for enough if the shameless POS still can afford internet and housing to spew his sociopathic shit from.
Also got scammed by an obvious mlm scheme.
Very critical support for taking this guys money.
a sociopathic bazinga? now way! who could've possibly known.
Also got scammed by an obvious mlm scheme.
No. Let him cook. He can be the People’s Jester that you let out the basement whenever you a situation becomes tense
I like to read Blind, even though it gives me psychic damage. This is a major type of guy on there
This guy has probably personally run the last dedicated lesbian bars in the metro area out of business to host ethereum mining rigs inside.
Said rigs have not been checked on since mid-2022. One of them burned its building to the ground and got melted into the floor. Another has been bricked for months (which he is well aware of, but insists that once Nvidia stock rises high enough he’ll afford to upgrade the entire array to take up BOTH floors)
yeah that's just nazi shit or
being Nazi shit? Reddit? What's the difference?
Weird how they'll be preaching about how we need to ban weed and same-sex religious because Fox nooz sez tha debbil made it but when you point out scumbag businessmen polluting at the expense of society they start preaching to you about how you should mind your own business...because like.....nothing matters....maaaan.
I prefer them when they're mask-off like this. It reminds me we're right about them, and it gives insights into certain things I didn't even think of. I had never considered that their "it's human nature" argument was copium for the moral guilt.
It makes a lot more sense when you add my to the sentence when they say "capitalism is inevitable because of my human nature"
They're literally just doing the thing where they assume everybody else is as bad of a person as they are but they use that belief as an excuse to justify their actions.
For example for a software developer - a Senior SWE in the USA can make 150k-500k depending on location and company.
I am a little tired of EXAMPLE JOB being "software developer" when discussing economic conditions. How about "lumberyard worker", or "salad guy at the restaurant" instead for truly assessing how affordable housing should be?
totally agree, not only are some of these salaries only for crazy places like California, but it feels very dehumanizing to people of other careers.
Also, if the demographic you're using as example for income contains people who makes more that three times what other members of that demographic makes, then what exactly does you example illustrate?
We probably already have some kind of techno-feudalist caste system that we haven’t put words to yet
They’re called PMC KKKarens
"because of human nature"
"I don't feel empathy, so that obviously means that no one else does either. Updoots on the left, like and subscribe."
Looks like someone tried to respond, and the mods removed the response but left murk's comment up. Fascism is civil enough to stay though.
Reddit moment
: "Humans are evil by nature..."
: "That's true, so we should suppress our vices, right?": "Therefore we should all embrace our evil nature because like....nothing matters man! Let's all go extinct because YOLO!"
: "Sorry, just embracing my human nature."This is a perfect example of zen fascism as Matt describes it.
I know someone like this IRL. Told me he took molly, became enlightened, and now he just doesn’t really care about anything and prefers the “blue pill” because he gets to enjoy his treats without needing to feel bad or worry about anything since there’s nothing you can do to change anything.
Someone said this a few years ago on here. But it reminds me of American evangelicals. Or maybe American Christians in general. They’ll preach about love and respect and helping the needy. But then when it comes to it, they’ll refuse to do so and their reasoning is nihilism lol. God truly is dead
This is the person who will preach pacifism to you btw
Who warns you about fascism happening unless you vote for them unconditionally and let them enact their worldview without criticism.
This freak belongs in an unethical zoo. One where I can throw things at the animals until they do tricks. I would make this one do tricks for me until it dies.
It's human nature to seize upon a unique socioeconomic circumstance of the last century to justify a human nature argument for being a myopic sociopath shithead. I hope you can see that and my giant brain isn't getting in the way.
- is too good for this guy
People like this guy is the reason gulags were invented. It's the humane and sensible solution.
I'll leave it to you to decide whether I think of cold war propaganda gulags or actually existing gulags.
We all know what he REALLY means is that HE'S allowed to be a shitty person to enrich himself, but if someone else enriches themselves at HIS expense, then that's an injustice that needs to be stopped.
Honestly this is not even remotely approaching the true perils of neoliberalism. The poster is just evil, but a true believer of neoliberalism is so much more.
The true disciple of neoliberalism believes that free market is above sanctity and it must be protected at all cost, with the involvement of the state apparatus, even if it means that millions of people will die and even more impoverished in the process, because ultimately the free market is the only way that can bring about an optimized prosperity to the world’s population.
Note the difference from Austrian school libertarians, who believe that the state/government should stay out of interfering with the free market. Chicago school neoclassicals believe that the state should be fully involved in protecting the free market, with military, economic and financial warfares, and propping up anti-labor policies around the world to ensure that the sanctity of the free market is well protected.
“We all know we’d exploit someone given the chance”I mean "the world is going to burn because it's full of stupid selfish assholes like me" is the most honest thing I've ever seen a neoliberal say to their credit
Shit like this is good for showing to persuadable libs and asking "you think this person should have a say in how we run the country?"
In my experience it would be something like "he shouldn't be so selfish but also he isn't wrong"
truly artful
I'd say this is far from human nature
(source: i'm a human)
I’m a neoliberal, I’ll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die
There should be a system where if you post sociopathic shit like this on the Internet, you should have a big buzzer sound off in your computer and the Halo multiplayer announcer voice should announce that you've lost social credit
