Is there anything more cucked than supporting capitalism when you are not one of the oligarchs?

Don't you people feel embarrassed dunking on capitalism? Literally everyone hates capitalism. Anti-capitalism is the most boring, pedestrian ideology ever. Pic related.
What are you talking about? Socialism has always been implemented successfully. There has never been a time in history where this was not the case.
Ethan Morgan
>Is there anything more cucked than supporting capitalism when you are not one of the oligarchs? You fundamentally misunderstand the conservative mindset. Supporting capitalism is, for them, not about their own material conditions (although for many, that is a factor). Capitalism is a hierarchy. The Market is a process through which the Worthy get to prove themselves and rise to the top, while the Unworthy sink to the bottom. Supporting capitalism, then, is supporting a natural hierarchy in the world. Conservatives find a certain sense of honor is playing their role in the Market and filling their positions in the hierarchy. "Working hard" is playing the game well, and if you find yourself not at the absolute bottom, that just means you're more Worthy than those below you. Being more Worthy grants you certain power over those below. What's more, it is morally self-validating: Being closer to the top means you are, ipso facto, a morally better person, and so you know what the right thing to do with the power that it grants. It's this packaged justification of their own privilege (however minuscule!) that powers conservatism. They don't need to be at the top for that, all they need is to not be at the bottom.
This is why conservatives see any attempt at collective action as a sort of cheating, an attempt to distort an otherwise natural order. "Ganging up" in what is supposed to be a competition between individuals. Unionization gives suspectedly bad workers an unfair advantage. It's not right. It puts power in the hands of the Unworthy. And that leads to chaos. The same goes for things like taxation. You might mistake the right-libertarianian instinct to be pure selfishness, and avarice certainly plays its part, but that's not the entire story. Conservatives dislike Big Government because it redistributes wealth (=power) from the Worthy to the Unworthy, as determined by the Market. Even if they personally benefit from this redistribution, they still find it wrong. Those at the top DESERVE their wealth, and if they are struggling, that just means they need to work harder and pull at those bootstraps.

Forcing NEETs to work until they kill themselves is unironically a good thing. Because they don't realise nationalism is a vital part of the mix (socialism, not communism which is unworkable utopian trash).
Jacob Edwards
Because they're socialist and therefore have/had a far superior quality of life to capitalist states. I think that North Korea is probably the ideal society and the best nation in the world currently. I'd like to live there but it's hard to gain citizenship for reasons which I completely understand.
Luis Thompson
>The Market is a process through which the Worthy get to prove themselves and rise to the top
>Because they don't realise nationalism is a vital part of the mix (socialism, not communism which is unworkable utopian trash). Communism is simply the higher stage of socialism, they are not distinct. Also there are and have been both nationalist and socialist states.
Elijah Lee
Physical labor of any kind is the mark of peasantry. Did kings and royalty work? They made reactive decisions. They didn't exert their energy for material production or transformation. The NEET, insofar as he is paid to exist, is more king-like than a manager at McDonald's and is closer to a CEO than a janitor. Of course the NEET is beholden to his society which at any time take away his funding, meaning he is less king-like than an actual King.
Parker Bailey
North Korea is comfy as heck. I wish I could live there
Thomas Cooper
Read more carefuly before you get buttflustered. The dude was describing a "conservative mindset", he wasn´t stating his own opinion.
It's good thing you brought this up, actually, because it allows me to bring up another important element of the conservative mindset.
Whenever conservatives face a situation where the Market produces plainly wrong results, they have two courses of action: First, to deny it. Second, to blame external distortions. These "external distortions" are key. They are the source of conservatism's infatuation with conspiracy theories. When the Market seems to fail too often, or if it puts people who are plainly immoral and Unworthy in positions of power, or when it seems to keep them down no matter how hard they work or how moral they consider themselves to be, the search for external distortions becomes obsessive. The government is usually the go-to explanation for most conservatives, but for some it's not enough. The see the Market failing so hard, producing results so far removed from what they expect, that they can't blame it on government alone. It's here that the Market is separated from the simple small-m capitalist market. The nefarious forces that distort the Market (or the Struggle, or the Natural Order, or Life... unfortunately conservatives don't have a proper term for this natural hierarchy they believe in) seem to distort even capitalism itself. The absurd and bombastic claims about the reach and power of Jews, NWO, freemasons, etc. are the logical extrapolations of the scale to which the Market is distorted.
Why did conspiracy theories proliferate in the wake of the culture wars of the 1990's onward? Because that's when the general culture begun leaving social conservatives so far behind that a benign narrative of an evil government vs. the great American Middle couldn't cut it anymore. When you see even major tech companies - the highest winners of the Market, those at the very top - spout plainly immoral rhetoric and look and behave like the Unworthy, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. (It's the Jews)

Lumpenconservatism is to Jews as accelerationism is to Capital.
Capitalism would have been replaced decades ago if not for dumb communists being a literal retarded foil for it. Now people are too stuck in not capitalism = communism = dumb ass shit to move on.
Eli Robinson
The underlying pathos here is the same for all right-wing ideologies. This is by definition: hierarchy-vs-egalitarianism is the most consistent definition of right-vs-left. Conservatism, right-libertarianism, fascism: The framing may be different, but it's all based in a veneration of hierarchy.
A right-libertarian is a right-winger whose Market is literally just capitalist markets. A fascist is a right-winger whose Market is a Darwinist struggle between ethnic groups. A Jihadist is a right-winger whose Market is a holy struggle between religions. Ultra-nationalism is a type of hierarchy too, where you expect to find your own nation at the top, and anything different must the result of some sort of interference.
If you are a right-libertarian yourself you may find this a bit disturbing because your ideology often pretends to have a complete deference to the Market. Right-libertarians pretend to have no preconceived notions of what the Market should look like (unlike, say, white supremacists). And yet, I'm sure if I were to point out bad Market outcomes (e.g. monopolies), your first response would be that this is Not Real Capitalism, because... the government... distorts....... I hope you see where I'm going with this.

Samuel Cox
Inheritance is the act of the Worthy choosing what to do with their deserved wealth (in this case: pass it on to their kids).
Charles Kelly
Basically all rudimentary tech worth it’s damn was invented and developed in the public sector. Also, capitalism slows down tech as it only produces just enough to rake in cash, and developing the tech further beyond is disincentivized because they will grant competitors cost-free business ideas
>spending most of your formative years inside on your computer is good for your social development! You're a senseless retard
Ethan Bennett
> (You) >>Labour produced that, not capitalism. >You can't understand anything except literally meaning, you little aspie, don't you? You're missing the point. I wasn't just being pedantic, I meant that labour is ultimately what produces anything so saying "(mode of production) produced (product)" is stupid.
Joshua Brown
You should use the correct terms for what you describe. 'Market' doesn't mean competition, there's a word for that - It's competition. I agree that hierarchy is extremely important to any reactionary force, but your posts are full of half-truths, generalizations, and very strange diagnosises in general.

It's not about what We think. Australiano economics predicted the downsides of the keynesian and socialist economic models succesfully, down to predicting economic crises caused by said models with a margin of error of months. The other two theories can't do the same with Austrian economics. If You believe that economy is a science It's clear which theory describes reality better.

Austin Gray
holy fuck how delusional can you get >predicting economic crises caused by said models with a margin of error of months You do realize that if this were actually true, 99% of hedge fund managers and financial institutions would be Austrian? That Central Banks would all use Austrian economics (whatever that even means) when determining monetary policy? Oh, wait. They don't. They all use some sort of elaborate VAR models, and recession forecasting is always based on simple indicators like yield curves and saving rates.
The only thing Austrian economics actually ever contributed to the world is: A. Dogmatic adherence to Say's Law (demonstrably false) B. Credit expansion theory of recessions (reverse causality sleight-of-hand) C. Time preference (easily refuted by the existence of bank runs) D. That's it. The rest is pseudo-philosophical mambojumbo like praxiology, and some political mantras for the decrepit ghouls of the Cato Institute to excrete.
"Austrian economics" are less than nothing. They are pre-Great Depression neoclassical economics packaged in fanciful ideological terminology. Not even Friedman considered himself an Austrian. The only people who think "Austrian economics" are in any way useful are gold-obsessed crackpots and the small-time ideological grunts you see on Yea Forums.
Jace Bailey
You're the one who keeps squirming in the face of basic logic. Kids who spent their formative years in their room on their laptop and didnt socialize with other kids as much will have stunted social growth as a result. This is simple, verifiable fact.
Andrew Adams
>Oh, wait. They don't. They all use some sort of elaborate VAR models, and recession forecasting is always based on simple indicators like yield curves and saving rates. And they still get It wrong while the Austrians get It right. Ideology is a terrible drug.
