@Sketch just went full stalker quoting and messaging me everywhere, that must have been his mom's song I shit on.

@irish_thug @Ruprecht got any data on how many times I've reported /snitched on @Sketch.

You know what I said about the grocery store. Quoted that shit and put it right up there. Never seen someone so happy to snitch.

Misconstrued me too. Clowns.

Mods: post those snitch numbers in a large font for everybody to see.

I gotta go, got an early shuffledance class in the morning. Apologies to the lounge regulars you're probably going to have to deal with a few pages of @Sketch's screeching.

I'm only seeing the one report of porn spam (not from Sketch). For that matter you've only been reported less than a dozen times, and at least one of those was someone screwing up and hitting report instead of reply.

I think pride is the main factor in situations like this only for so long as the person has some control over the situation, even if imagined. Pride is what keeps people for asking a friend or colleague how to get help or leverage what they have to prevent bad things/ achieve better things. But once that control, real or imagined, has evaporated then the others (fear, shame, hopelessness) can take the wheel, but pride is still there as an accomplice.

I agree with your point about the late stage capitalism points, but I disagree that it is not a product of human nature. Obviously not all humans, but the modern conservative movement is based on it (modern being anything after The Great Depression).

Well like I said, your post brings up an interesting idea about what exactly separates pride from shame. So you make a really good point about the control taking the wheel, but what separates pride from shame in this circumstance? Is doing something to defend your pride not also doing something because you feel shame in it?

I respect why you disagree, but the modern conservative movement is the reason why late stage capitalism doesn't work. Have you read Mutual Aid by any chance?

I would be more direct but I'm not interested in dragging that toolbar into the lounge thread.

I don't define it, nor am I going to argue specific dates. But to help you out, poor people have cars, electricity, plumbing, and handheld computers that can provide them with all the knowledge in the world. There's certainly a time in America where nobody was that privileged.

As for the poor being hungry, I've never read anything that suggests most societies of any note had wiped out hunger until evil capitalism came along. Had they?

No doubt there are people that suffer the consequences of being "poor" but there are too many people that conflate not being a millionaire with the ills of capitalism.

I get into it with my friend about this who swears will never escape his miserable fate but the mother fucker smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, smokes at least one spliff a day, spends around 3-4 hours a night playing video games, has a decent paying job, has a pretty wife who makes around the same amount he does and all the benefits of modern living you listed but is still "poor". After laying it all out there I sort of want to be poor now too. Looks fucking great.

Thanks to capitalism the poor of today live better than the well-off of yesteryear. lol if you think human nature is some love-fest of share and share alike, and capitalism somehow subverted it. History is full of war, starvation, slavery, monarchies, and every ill you can think of. Long before capitalism emerged to enable human advancement.

The point went over your head.

The point isn't that pre-capitalist history was a fairytale of people foregoing personal gain for the charity of their neighbors or that sharing was the dominant ideology of humankind (although intra-ethnic collectivism was much more common; the conflicts you speak of were generally between rather than within social groups). The point is that history generally showed humans trending toward their own self-interest rather than working against it simply to spite a neighbor to a greater degree. Peasants weren't praying for drought because they thought that, even though everyone would starve, they had more grain reserves than their peasant neighbors.

When the primary support for your argument is pointing to all of human history, it's more likely than not that you didn't understand the point against which you're arguing. @AgonyandIrony

Also, just as an aside, you're conflating capitalism with all industrial/technological development. The lower classes of the developed world didn't gain access to plumbing and heat because the free market willed it. They gained those accesses from public investment. In terms of providing basic modern amenities to lower classes, capitalist resource distribution has been historically inadequate which is why even right-wing safety net systems (Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.) have provided basic living standards to a far greater degree than underdeveloped countries that have retained more unregulated neoliberal systems.

I can verify that Stephen Hawking would in fact not go swimming.
