My Surrogate Activities.

Zero Sum

I was humoring you before.

What’s more likely to happen is we’d wind up like Helots and the ‘chancellor’ and his army like Spartans.
They’d turn up the heat incrementally, working us harder and stripping us of what little rights and freedoms we have left, all in the name of making us and the state safer and more secure.
They’d divide and rule us, quickly quash any attempt to militarily, or intellectually organize ourselves and oppose them.

This is how they did things in Russia, China, North Korea and so on, and that is what your chancellor or his successors will subject us to, but it’ll be worse, because the economic and technological disparity between the elite and the masses is accelerating at an alarming rate.
Removing the few armaments, rights and freedoms we have, will allow them to more thoroughly subjugate the masses than any elite ever has before in history, many times over, to the point where we’re nothing more than cattle, and cattle have no hope of rebelling against their human overlords.

But the elite won’t be enslaving us to consume us, they’ll be making preparations to incrementally replace us with machines, machines, that have no agency, that won’t complain, cry out or resist, that have an off button.
Maybe a few of us will survive, and be kept as pets, or in zoos.

Perhaps a national socialist dictatorship could’ve, kind of worked out, at least for a time in previous centuries, but with the economic and technological disparity we have now, it’s absolutely paramount we cling to whatever power we have left, and attempt to increase it as much as possible.
No what we need is either anarchy, direct democracy, or perhaps a philosophical oligarchy, with some democratic checks and balances just in case, but I’d rather have the system we have now than the one you propose, which’d be an absolute nightmare of epic proportions.

I have some say, I can own a gun, I can say whatever I want, I can work for whomever I please, I can pick up and move from one place to another.
I don’t want the government to have the power to imprison or execute me just because it doesn’t like me or my politics.

To reiterate, I would partly or fully nationalize the food, textile and housing industries, all essential industries (furniture, appliances…), then I’d hire every able bodied unemployed person to work in them, part-full time (15-30 hours a week) for high wages (30-45 dollars an hour), producing cheap (more than halve food, clothing and housing prices), quality (whole foods, cotton/wool clothes) products.
I’d do all this not by taxing the rich, but by government printing its own debt free money, circumventing the central banks.
I think it’s stupid education and healthcare have been nationalized, but food, clothing and housing haven’t, when the latter are just as, if not more essential.

As for seniors and the disabled, of course they’d be taken care of, better than they are today.
Right, shouldn’t be any homeless, every person who can’t work should have a decent home and food to eat, and every person who can should have a decent job, no exceptions.
I don’t have a problem with drug addicts, so long as their addictions aren’t keeping them from working.
If they want help from the government, they’ll have to get off the drugs, at least enough so they can work, otherwise, forget it, they can remain homeless.

I got a flu shot and I didn’t get the flu.

“Russians used social media and other public platforms to sew discord or sway public opinions influencing Americans in the 2016 elections.”

Sorry, I call bullshit on all of this Russia hysteria nonsense. What all of this amounts to is the United States doubling down on this Russia hysteria because it doesn’t want to admit publicly that our country is a failed state where so called democracy or government in this nation is essentially broken. We live under an extremely maddening broken social political system. Russians didn’t introduce discord in our nation as social discord has existed for a very long time in this country without the assistance of Russia or Russians.

It’s embarrassing that we would rather scapegoat an entire nation instead of taking responsibilities for our own domestic shortcomings. This is the absolute current state of the United States right now, fucking hilarious.

They’re not saying that they’re the cause of discord in American society. They’re saying that they spent a shit load of money buying ads to influence the election.
