Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Yeah, capitalism = individuals can own property.

Socialism = state owning property, and state distribute wealth.

It is an economy system, it has nothing to do with the concept of mutual benefit.

I am not convinced socialism leads to more mutual benefit in our society either. If my country is going distribute wealth for me, surely I wouldn't want to work on giving other people benefit for my own benefit lol. What's the point to work for more benefit for other people if there are no chance to gain any for myself?

Commies are bad, mmmkay.

Y'all should stop fixating on that and start reading the Redwall series by Brian Jacques instead.

Euliaaaa!!!

Will you still insist you are not talking about politics?

The catholic church and it's leadership was accumulating wealth before they officially had "the Vatican" you knew what I meant!

It's economy!

Capitalism/socialism only become "politics" when supporters of those system fight. By itself it is just an economic system.

Good old economics.

I just watched a video that spoilered all Hunter x Hunter past the point I dropped it (because I was waiting it to be concluded).

Maybe for a good reason. That video had the objective of analyzing Gon as a character.

While at first glance just a typical shonen protagonist, strong, innocent and dumb, when you look at his context (being a kid abandoned by his father), the obsession to find the father meaning how he is still hurt by that despite not voicing it, the way how he idolize his father, as an attempt to cope his situation, the many kamikaze attacks being used showing how little self steem he has because exactly being given up by his father, all that shows a deeply complex and dark character that is not innocent and dumb as I thought at first, but being dumb and innocent is only a way to mask how deeply injured he is in his heart.

Kinda amazing understanding the message being exposed in front of me, but only noticed when you stop seeing the story for what it tell and start seeing if for what it is.

I completely get the gist of the Gon arc what destroyed my experience when i reread Hunter x Hunter, but considering im too dumb to get the hidden messages in things, im forced to admit that it was worth

I… don’t particularly am emotionally attached to my father.

I lived long enough with both my mother and father to think more about their flaws than for what they represent to me.

Stories that picture such strong attachment between father and son are foreign to me, so naturally they are also interesting.

Only sad thing in Gon story is how little he cares about his biological mother.

Despite once his father almost telling about her to Gon, he quickly dismissed it. His mother was his aunt. He didnt need another motherly love.

This adds another layer to Gon complexity. Both his father and mother abandoned him.

But still receiving a motherly love from his aunt, made him accept he was abandoned by his mother, so he probably never forgave her.

While not having a fatherly figure made him unable to accept the abandonment.

Kato appearance was that father figure. And this adds another layer of complexity that, in the end Gon never wanted to meet his real father. He only inherited the mission of Kato, that became the fatherly figure in his mind. That explain how the true father seemed so small for how much hype was built during the story.

In the end, HxH is a story about a kid accepting the abandonment, dealing with so many complex feelings, and eventually moving on.

Great story, btw

Finally a Digimon con that didn't suck, new game Anime and merch

We like to larp that all people matter in western societies and our votes have value, we really don't at all and these are mostly vestiges of the past when we did. Most of us are just cogs in the machine of the economy and easily replaceable to our leaders (of all parties) by people from the 3rd world now (and if they have a stronger work ethic and are less demanding, they actually greatly outvalue us now), and our only real value is in consuming product and/or paying taxes. Billionaires and other elites are the only ones that really matter in our countries, we are all replaceable drones with no intrinsic or tribal value anymore.

This is why the fall of nationalism (previous value add to the masses in the nation) and western religions (previous value add) was so incredibly bad for the majority, and why these things were ultimately pushed from the top down upon us. Because it has utterly devalued the countries populations in the eyes of our leaders and the billionaires that influence them.

In 2025 a person born in a country has less value than ever in history, to the elites above them. Which should be a frightening thing, when we are so demanding and expensive to them (pensions, unions, health care, minimum wage demands, working hour limits etc etc).

Western populations are kind of like a family pet among many others that had a funny fur marking, that the owners wife thought was cute and made them unique and so let them get away with getting on the couch and having expensive diet tastes. Then the owner paints out the cute fur marking, and now the owners wife doesn't think it's special anymore and it's getting the slop and getting of the couch like the rest of the dogs.

Why is this a bad thing?



If you truly believe in nationalism, you would believe that the gain of your nation is far more important than individual.

So why are you complaining elites and billionaires matters more than average person then? They are contributing a nation's GDP far more than average person.

For example, in South Korea, the government got Samsung CEO out of jail because they need him for GDP. Samsung contributes 22% of GDP in SK so this company matters more than everything else for the country.

Other average people don't even have this kind of privilege because they don't generate nearly as much gdp for their nation. Elite people > average people because nations benefit > individual's, more so in nationalist countries.

Nationalism is built on the sentiment that everyone isn't and shouldn't be equal. And individual privilege must be suppressed for the greater good.

Or did you just praise nationalism without knowing what it really is? Lol.

Because they retain their great value and native populations have lost almost all of theirs (AI is speeding this up in the more advanced sectors too, so even white collar workers ain't special anymore), if your national populations start being annoying there is an unlimited stream of workers from India who are used to earning $15 a month there and who won't be.

50+ years ago, the greatest treasure of a nation was always stated to be its people and because of this they did everything they could to build them up with health programs, better wages, training and all the other things we enjoy today. The thought of introducing something like MAID was unthinkable because their people were their greatest resource.

The change in mindset is blatant, native born people are no longer important and are in-fact not only easily replaceable but are often seen as worse workers who are lazy and too demanding. This even works in relation to 2nd gen immigrants who also may become entitled, who also can then be replaced with more 1st gen immigrants from places like India and China.

The real funny part is most people still don't understand how much value they have lost as a national population, and are still demanding UBI and other expensive stuff from the elites above. GL with that though.

Is this why you think nationalism is a good thing? Interesting. Because coming from a nationalist cultural background my perspective on nationalism is completely different from yours(see my post above.)

I think if you actually live in a real nationalist culture, your perspective on nationalism may change, and I think you'd ended up hating it too. You complained about US government banning TikTok months ago, even though this policy is entirely nationalism based policy. In a even more nationalist country than the US, you will see this kind of unfair thing happen more often: such as elites getting more resources than other people for the benefit of the nation, or individual right being suppressed for the nation etc.

IMO, I don't think nationalism is the solution for social fairness, if that's your goal.

ohreally?

I live, and vote, in a solid red area of a blue state. My vote counts for nothing except for maybe in school levy elections. Maybe.

I still vote in every election. In my personal philosophy if you don't vote you can't ***. And I so enjoy bitching.
