Daily reminder that profit is immoral
>>8211398>OP is upset that life isn't fair WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
>This is the kind of childish thinking that drives communists. Grow up. The world isn't so simple and it will never be fair.
>>8211398Daily reminder that high time preference is degenerate.
the only good commie is a dead commie
>>8211398Except the product was made using the guy on the rights machines and resources
>>8211398Why doesn't the plaid shirt man just not work for poopy head business man and make the value for himselfOh right because the materials, tools, infrastructure, and logistic chain he used to make that isn't hisI mowed a marxist's lawn once and convinced him his grass was mine. lmao
>>8211398Consumerism is immoral, but capitalism is fine since it allows anyone to decide how they want to live. If they choose not to live within their means, of course they get fucked. However if you want to live a minimal lifestyle and only work rarely just to get by, you can do that. Or you can start a business and make however much or little you want.
>>8211398Dude just turned 8 hours of value into 9. I'd say he earns a cut.
>>8211398then dont sell your labor so cheap ya dangus
>>8211398>manlet always winLanklets, when will they learn?
>>8211590Found the wagie
>>8211690Kek good catch
>>8211666>>8211066post again here with your ETH address. You have appeased Satan
>>8211572That's not an excuse for the world to be unfair though.
>>8211066may your hearts be purified by his love, leave yourself behind to serve yourselfPraise Christ0x157bee10e96c11f7a2a52a1c73beb12d046c8b59
>>8212033There is no excuse, the world just IS unfair and you can't fix that. You have to deal with it like the rest of us and make the best with what you have. I've got small ass dick, manlet status, poor upbringing, etc. But I'm not trying to steal from people or promote communism to try and "level the playing field".
>>8211398>Daily reminder that profit is immoralCommunist or Christcuck (is there a philosophical difference?) detected.Profit is required to offset the losses risk brings.
>>8212033It is though. Trying to force the world to be totally fair can cause more problems then it solves.
>>8212033>That's not an excuse for the world to be unfair though.Fact: The Universe is as it should be at this very moment [that you are reading in]. If that were not the case, then you imply that you know better the configuration the Universe should be rather than the configuration the Universe is in, that you are arguing against the natural laws themselves.No, at all times the Universe is as it should be, as its current configuration is inescapable from the ordered sequence of all previous configurations.
>>8212033The world has been unfair even before humans existed. IMO the system we have now is still pretty fair, there are just some issues to work out.
>>8212193>da universe is as it shud beWhat a fucking retard
>>8212193Im not even commie scum but what you just said was insanely retarded
>>8211398>Company makes money>Owner robbing employees>Company loses money>Employees robbing ownerWhy didn't the people complain about corporations stealing from people complain about GM employees when GM was going under?
>>8212531Communists think things like morality and principles are spooks so they don't really care about them, they care about ends and that's it. They do however not hesitate to say they believe in them or use them against their enemies when it is convenient. Like when communists defend private property rights to kick out ebil nazis from certain spaces.
>>8212613Thing that always pissed me off about that guy was that he was just a bourgeois larper who took money from his rich capitalist buddy and just riled up a bunch of desperte poor people and when they got fucked he left them high and dry and even bought stocks.
>>8211398Why would anyone put capital up for risk if there’s no rights to future profit? Innovation would completely dry up.
>>8212759commies don't really care about innovation or improvement, they basically just want everyone to be able to survive.
>>8212033>reality isn't how i think it should bewhen you grow up, you'll see the foolishness and wastefulness of such thinking
>>8212136For this stupid logic, whe should not even have developed medicine or laws.
>>8211398The guy on the right is the government right?
>profit is immoral>but taxation, yes goyim we do love that :^)
>>8211666Capitalism kills the people physically and psychologically.
>>8211398You're literally retarded if you think it works that way
>>8212033you sound like a child
>>8212940It's a side effect of it (worse when it becomes multicultural) but Communism does that also but it does it on purpose (re-writing history, famines, denile of nature, etc). And at least with Capitalism you can get private property that you can do your own thing on somewhat.
>>8212940As opposed to what you faggot?
communism just replaces the guy on the right with a "planner" who takes ALL the value instead of just a portion.
>>8211398the value excists only since the man in dress sell and create demand. so no he dosent take it, he creates value
>>8212476>Im not even commie scum but what you just said was insanely retarded>>8212243>What a fucking retardNo it's not retarded, and no I'm not retarded. Your biases shield you from the realities of the Universe at its very moment. When you say "The Universe should not be that way," it's not because the Universe is incorrect, but because the Universe and your desires are incongruent.
>>8212993>Capitalism you can get private property that you can do your own thing on somewhat.>Capitalist Government can take your land at any point in time and not give an explanation why.
>>8212531They did though. Remember all the hate unions got?
>>8211398>taking profit is wrong>let the state take your property
>>8213471>implying government is capitalist
>>8211690>>8211734you're both retarded and should never propagate your genes, look again but actually count this time
>>8212193This is bullshit logic. If nobody ever tried to make the world better or fairer, we'd still all be serfs working 12 hour days and paying tithe to feudal lords
>>8213304Why are you capitalising "Universe" like it's an agent unto itself with free will and not more than a complex set of chaotic processes, totally and utterly controlled by the probabilistic and wholly unpredictable forces of quantum mechanics?
>>8212193this is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read. You are like that retard Pangloss from Voltaire's Candide.
>>8214036Dude's lifting 6 hours worth of work up to 9 hours. He's creating wealth with his effort.
>>8211398So just to be clear - if someone makes something, they're not allowed to profit from it? Basically everyone should just sit still until they starve/thirst to death because 'profit is immoral'?
>>8214151>This is bullshit logic. If nobody ever tried to make the world better or fairer, we'd still all be serfs working 12 hour days and paying tithe to feudal lordsExactly. There is nothing wrong with workers wanting to advocate for getting a larger slice of the pie. That is what the workers did historically before and after World War II and what we witnessed was the largest explosion of the "middle-class" in historyITT: A bunch of classcucksI used to be a wagecuck before I was a petit bourgeoisie crypto trader. I felt motivated to escape wage cuck slavery because I knew it was terrible and that the system was rigged. If it wasn't for the fact that my parents allowed me to live at home while I wage cucked, I wouldn't have saved the capital I needed to day trade crypto for a living
>>8211398kekif you are so asspained about itstart your own business where you, the worker, are the owner and you get 100% of profits that you earn yourselfonce you get big enough and cant meet demandI hope you're willing to give equal share to every single worker you "employ"no matter that you fronted the capital, the hours to get the business up and runningthat doesnt matter in the slightest!fucking retard
>>8212193>>8213304Youre the type of moron that annoys me the fuck out. That style of writting and that self righteousness, while spewing absolute incorrect bullshit should have some sort of death penalty.If everyone had that mindset, there would have been zero revolutionaries throughout history. You realize some of those revolutions had a highly significant impact on the way our society is built and how it functions right?I can somewhat agree that the universe at present is the way it should be, but that present was built on the actions of revolutionaries that were not ok with how their respective present time was going, and wanted change moving on to the future (which is our present fucktard)Anyways kys cringe brainlet wannabe intellectual
Also I decided to continue living with my dad during the bitcoin bull market in 2017. Which meant I didn't have to sell much of my crypto in order to pay for expenses since I was living rent-free. Which means I ended up making even more money off the bull market.Privilege gives me you more advantages in life. Being born into a financially secure middle-class family that can support your NEET ass gives you a competitive advantage over other people when it comes to entrepreneurship.
>>8212033The world doesn't owe you anything. It was here first.
>>8211454>I am okay with being cucked out of my share, because that's life brahWhy not work for free then?
>>8212193>muh determinism
>>8211398Then start your own business, faggot. create a good and / or service people actually give a fuck about, market it, fund it or find investors, then you can bitch about the "work" (((you))) did.
>>8212033Can you guys imagine growing up so sheltered and pampered that you never learned the duality of life?
take it to /pol/, faggot
>>8214700>take a discussion about business practices and structure to /pol/ because we're not commieskys
Start a business if you think it's so easy. Oh wait, you can't because the government you love so much imposed so many regulations that you'd have to be a millionaire to start said business. Also, your boss slipped the president some money and if you try to compete he'll just make new laws that will shut you down.At least you can work for you boss, while you can make him some profit over the imposed minimum wage. If you cant, you're just condemned to roll up and die. That's where socialism got you.Statists belong in an open grave.
>>8214616>I am okay with being cucked out of my share, because that's life brahWhy not work for free then?Exactly. lol.The determinismfag is probably some NEET who was born into a privileged financially secure suburban middle-class family, which allowed him to get into crypto trading full-time. Like I was. The difference is that I'm willing to acknowledge my privilege. I'm just not willing to forfeit my privilege. Yeah I have it made more than most people on the planet. Why should I advocate against my own self-interests in the interest of fairness? At least I'm transparent about my motivations. I can't stand right-wing fags who get defensive whenever you point out that not everyone starts at 0 in the world and privilege exists. And there is nothing wrong with pushing back against this if you are the one being cucked by society. If I was born to a poor family that kicked me out at 18 or started charging me rent at 18 because they couldn't afford to keep me around rent-free anymore, I probably would still be on /leftypol/ right now. When you don't have capital to begin with, it is harder to fight and claw your way up.I'm largely content with my place in society now. I'd like to see the government cut taxes for people in my tax bracket (~$100,000) and below and to reform the capital gains tax laws. It's retarded that each trade is a taxable event. This means that I owe a lot more tax than I bothered to actually cash out.
>>8214784
>>8212033Reality is unfair. 80-20/pareto distributions are seem everywhere from insects to plants to the market. Saying it's a symptom of "da ebil capitalists" is just fucking wrong. It's double wrong when you also consider the fact that income inequality is at best uneffected by the government's political leaning, or at worst (for you) lowest in free market countries. If you think income inequality is bad in the West look at fucking Africa, where a few are fairly rich by US standards while the people at the bottom live in literal mud huts.
>>8215008>some people>woman in a suit and glassesKEK
>>8215008>muh ruh publuhcunsThe corporate circlejerk crosses party lines how the fuck do people not realize this?
>>8211454>WAHHH WAHHH I WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEy>>8211572Grow the fuck up bitch
>>8212858yes we should idiot
>>8214784I think it's debatable whether Ancapistan-esque anything-goes capitalism would actually make it easier for small business. The nature of capitalism is such that capital tends to accumulate into fewer and fewer hands. But yes government regulations in their current state are stifling small businesses. As a crypto day trader, I'll buy crypto and then flip it on the same day for a profit. I keep most of my profit in crypto. I only cash out my profit when I need to pay for shit. And I live a frugal lifestyle. So I don't cash out much of my profit. Yet the government wants to tax me for the 2017 capital gain whether its in crypto or fiat. Even if the value of my crypto holdings went down considerably in January-February 2018. Government regulation at its current form is fucked as hell. How the fuck can the government tax me on profits that no longer exist? lmao. The government is a fucking parasite. If you re-invest your profits into crypto, which is essentially a lot of what day trading is, then you shouldn't have to pay tax on that shit. If I cash out my crypto to my bank account and keep it there or go buy goods and services with it or if I buy goods and services with my crypto gains, then sure I'll pay tax on that. But right now the system is fucked. Too much regulation. Don't get me started on Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering regulation as well.The solution is not having wild, wild west capitalism or having excessive regulation that kills entrepreneurship but a common sense medium somewhere in between.
>>8215052There is absolutely nothing natural about our society. In natural law, a low-inhibition muscular ripped BBC would beat the shit out of you, fuck your girl right in front of your eyes and make you give him all your crypto at gun-point
Workers make wages.Owners make profits.This is the way of things.
>>8215252Ok. That's not an argument though.
>>8211590Found the normie
>>8215200>The nature of capitalism is such that capital tends to accumulate into fewer and fewer hands.The monopoly theory doesn't really hold water, since they only really maintain control when hijacking state power. The very "robber barons" that anti-trust laws were made to control were losing market share before the laws were even enacted.In a highly fluid and dynamic economy where innovation is king, the notion that one or few groups could stay leaps and bounds ahead of their competitors indefinitely is complete nonsense.
>>8211398Fuck off soiboy. Take your emotional and feeling shits anyother place but here.
>>8211398fucking commies.
>>8215147>A communist tells anon to grow the fuck up because he says life isnt fairKEKare you deluded or what
>>8211398stay poor faggot
>>8215331What do you mean that's not an argument. You use natural law to justify "the way it is". Well if a low-inhibition nigger decided to just kill you and steal your shit, that's natural law. Your dead in a natural law world. What now faggot?
>>8215472>You use natural law to justify "the way it is"I'm not making a moral judgement about inequality. I'm saying that it's a problem that's rooted much deeper than the economic system currently in place, and alternative economic systems made specifically to counter inequality (i.e. communism) either have little effect or make the problem worse.You also seem a bit fixated on being abused by niggers, do you want to talk more about that?
>>8215008>implying that big business will want less regulationThey want more regulation as long as it kills competition. Also, democrats do this too. If there was no politician involved in this, there would be no one there for the billionaire to bribe and he would have to compete through regular market laws.Trust me, I'm not an americlap. I'm from a country that has so many shitty regulations that some markets are limited to 3-4 corporations and whenever a competitor appears there's some new regulation to fuck them over.
>>8215399My point exactly. Commies such as >>8215008 cant name ONE monopoly case in which there was no government meddling to support it.
>>8215431>I’ve got overhead>t. Rick Harrison
>>8215510Well at least you're not a natural law-fag then.The core problem with the way things are now stems from the fact that we have political representatives and political representatives are prone to corruption. Why do people even get into politics in the first place? To make the world a better place? No. To increase the amount of personal power they have for themselves and also their family and friends in their inner circle. Money can buy power to a great extent. So naturally politicians are going to accept bribes from the people with money - the corporations.The only way to get around this is to elect people who can't be corrupted. Or to put votes on a blockchain and do direct democracy. So that the people vote directly on the issues. You don't have to entrust anything to a corruptible representative.If we had direct democracy, American politics would be far more sane. Because no longer would you have to pick between two clusterfuck sides (there are things I hate about both the Democrat and Republican parties). You could just vote on an issue by issue basis. So if I'm pro-abortion but I also want a tax cut, that can be accomplished with two separate votes. Instead of having to choose between the "lesser evil".
>>8215472In a natural law world this nigger would try it some times and get shot, most likely. More niggers gangbanging = more niggers dead = less niggers making babies = smaller problem overall
>>8211398>People "stealing" labor/wealth from others by free market means is immoral.>Government should setup unconstitutional law and regulation to in effect socially engineer and redistribute wealth.You really can't be any more fucking retarded than a filthy pajeet or a Commie, in your case, faggot.
>>8215731>elect people who can't be corruptedThere is no such thing, though. Even the communist theory of "people can't be corrupted if there is no money" got busted, people will just want more power.They will only stop being corrupt if they have no power to use as a trading chip
Riddle me this, OP.>there is no company>worker gets 10$/day doing whatever, he has no means of production>future boss gets 100$/day doing whatever, he's qualified>boss opens up a company and produces more>worker gets $50/day>boss gets $200/day nowIncome inequality has increased by a lot. Who is at a loss here?
>>8215847That's why anarcho-capitalism is the only form of society that deserves to breathe.
>>8214616Your share is exactly what you agreed upon with your employer.
>>8215898Correct. Not only because of that, but it's the only form of society without undue aggression (or at least without aggression that you can't defend yourself from).Can't defend yourself from aggression if it comes from the government (i.e. prison if you don't pay taxes).
>>8215895Your example is bs. Wages have not been keeping up with inflation since the 1970s. lmao.>>8215745niggers have guns too you know. who is going to win in a fight?:low-inhibition high-T Negro alpha male gangstervs. high-inhibition autistic alt-right /pol/ beta male faggot who whines about white women sleeping with niggers.The reason why /pol/acks become /pol/acks is because they feel insecure in their masculinity seeing black alpha males fuck their women.
>>8216187What a coincidence. Kind of alligns with the same time period the US went off the last vestiges of the gold stanrdard to fund its socialist programs. hmmmmm
>>8216209If you include the Military-Industrial complex and the Prison-Industrial Complex as "socialist" programs, then sure
>>8211398Capital is riskier than labour.. Capitalists provide capital, workers get paid regardless of whether profit is created.
>>8216187productivity brought about by automation?huuuurrr
>>8212805Doesn't stop a person from trying.>boy is polio unfair, guess I'll do nothing>flying is just a shitty bird thingEvery day we get closer to god.
>>8216258And cheap labour too anonWage cucks are getting absolutely fucked. That's why we call them wage cucks.
>>8214253Because the Universe is the All Mighty. You are a part of the universe, we all are. It has more will than all of us combined.
>>8211454>>8211572Nice try, soyboys
>>8216187And why is there so much inflation? Who's at fault for this?The government itself has been increasing in size and someone has to pay for all those extra government workers. Do you REALLY believe that productivity shouldn't scale with purchasing power if government conditions stay the same?You fell for the "ebil businessman" meme. Everyone wants their workers to feel rewarded. And if competition is allowed, businessmen who don't reinvest their profits will get left behind.
>>8216187Also, the nigger can only get away with it so many times before he ends up in a ditch. Look up the number of deaths caused by guns Vs. the number of lives saved by guns.
>>8211398isn't this already somewhat mitigated by employee stock ownership plans?
>>8216231Collectivist programs, if not socialist.Imagine the money saved if people didn't go to jail for dealing drugs or any other bullshit collectivist law like that.Also, the military spends tons of money on offensive operations that shouldn't exist.
>>8211398> build your own business then and give away all your profits to employees, commie> move to Venezuelapick one
>>8216231Anyone with any intellectual integrity would, my friend.
>>8216675Exactly. That guy still believes the army is in Iraq or Afghanistan to "fight for his freedoms" hahahahaPoint and laugh, folks
>>8216675That guy still believes the army is overseas "fighting for his freedoms" hahahahaPoint and laugh, folks
>>8216442This huge increase in government spending and resulting inflation goes towards government employees (including the military and the prison-industrial complex) and workers subsidized by the government (ie. NGOs, Universities, hospitals, etc.). It doesn't go towards the working poor and it doesn't even really go towards men who don't work unless he's a refugee. This is why niggers are out there selling drugs. If a nigga can't get a job, he needs to sell drugs to survive. Because the government isn't just going to give an able-bodied man, even a black man, welfare.The funny thing about all this "socialism" is that this socialism doesn't actually go towards benefiting men unless1) they work in the public sector 2) or their job depends on public subsidies3) they are a refugeeEven here in Canada, when I was a NEET, what help did I get from the government? Jack fucking shit. I had to rely on my family (private welfare) to pick me up from the ground. Apparently Canada is "socialist". Where is all this wonderful Canadian socialism I hear Americans talking about? Because I ain't getting it. There is the public health care system. Which isn't even 100% "free". You have to pay for a lot out of pocket. When I go see the dentist, I have to pay out of pocket. When I get meds, I have to pay out of pocket. If you have to go in an ambulance instead of driving to the hospital yourself, you also have to pay for that.If you want welfare, you need to be a woman and get knocked up by Chad/Tyrone. Or you need to be a refugee.
>>8217058Socialism is the longest game.The game to con the whole fuckin planet.And its worked out very well for those who have used tyranny to "help" the world.
>>8215731Abuse of power should be stopped by reducing government power. The power of coercion is immoral, and should be limited as much as possible, not expanded but given to "the right people">If we had direct democracy, American politics would be far more sane.It would be even less sane. The US gov't is hemorrhaging money like mad on dem programs. If the budget was determined by the mob it would get even worse, boomers and minorities would expand benefits even more.These people think that real estate is a good investment, and buy jordans while living just above the poverty line. These people can't be fiscally responsible to save their lives. They should have NO voice in government. Anyone that takes more money than they give should have ZERO representation in government.
>usury>selling investments you don't understand>cartels>lobbying>any business that degrades standards of service>taxes, commissions, and other such benefits exceeding 30%>non-origin taxation such as applies to gift giving>abusing non-profit status>hiding behind arguments such as 'market forces' or 'high demand'But if you're not a jew you're probably OK
>>8217170Boomers have paid into social security for decades. Why shouldn't they collect on their investment? If I invest into social security for decades and then the government just steals that money from me and doesn't pay out when I'm 65+, that is theft. Are you advocating that we just tell boomers who invested into social security for all these decades to go fuck themselves and take their money?Medicare and medicaid are expensive because health care costs in the United States are out of fucking control compared to saner countries like say Canada. We have basic public health insurance here in Canada and the per capita cost of health care (including after factoring in tax dollar spending. I'm not talking strictly out of pocket costs) is lower than the per capita cost in the United States.Pretty much all the government spending is driven by the large number of public sector employees and workers subsidized by the public sector. There is very little in terms of welfare unless you're a single mom or a refugee. Men receive jack shit from the government in terms of welfare.
>>8217058Exactly. And these socialists are the same ones claiming to work for "the little man, oppressed by his employer who makes all the profits".Here in Brazil it gets even worse, and people eat that shit up exactly because the left makes them fear "the ebil businessman". Opening a business here is suicide because of all the regulations and our extremely complicated tax system. More businesses have to shut down and people are fighting over the few jobs left, having to take what they can get. About 40% of our jobs are informal because it's so expensive to hire someone if you follow the law.Meanwhile, there were even gibs for public college students (who are mostly rich because it's so difficult to get in one of those) to send them to study for 6 months in other countries, and it was easy as pie to get the scholarship. People who couldn't even speak english properly were being sent to the US lol
>>8217404>Boomers have paid into social security for decades. Why shouldn't they collect on their investment? If I invest into social security for decades and then the government just steals that money from me and doesn't pay out when I'm 65+, that is theft. Are you advocating that we just tell boomers who invested into social security for all these decades to go fuck themselves and take their money?Social security is a fucking ponzi scheme. They shouldn't get a fucking cent, my generation shouldn't hold the bag for this ridiculous program they decided to expand. If you gave Madoff money you aren't entitled to a return. They got duped, too fucking bad, they should pay for it. Not children.>Pretty much all the government spending is driven by the large number of public sector employees and workers subsidized by the public sector. There is very little in terms of welfare unless you're a single mom or a refugee. Men receive jack shit from the government in terms of welfare.No.
>>8211690brilliant
>>8217602Just out of curiosity, are contributions to social security mandatory in the US?They are mandatory over here, and the ponzi is just about to crash because retirements for government workers became too expensive. Can't even blame the poor working people because they had no choice other than "contribute".
>>8217699Totally mandatory. And yes, the pensions are going to crash everywhere. Why do you think governments are so desperate to expand the tax base with browns?
>>8217589The "non-evil business man" are exactly the ones who created this situation to avoid competition, but surely without gov the situation would be better, they wont need to bribe anyone and would just crush them.
>>8217720Fuck. At least my country isn't the only one, I guess.And yet people still defend social security as a means to "protect the poor elderly". Sad
>>8217820The pensions don't just fuck up the budget, they fuck up the family too. Old people used to have to rely on their children, so they had material incentive to be good for them. Now parents can be complete shit heads and uncle sam will foot the bill.
>>8211398Daily reminder the business owner is entitled to that value because it's his enterprise and he took all the risk. Why should the menial labor-monkey be entitled to more than his pittance when he's taken no risk and will just find another job if the current organization goes bankrupt?
>>8217404Social Security is not a personal piggy bank you fuckin mongo.SS is the literal definition of a pyramid/ponzi scheme.Generation A's old people are paid for by Gen BGeneration B's old people are paid for by Gen CGeneration C's old people are paid for by Gen DYou are never paying into YOUR retirement, you are paying into your parent generation's retirement. When it implodes because raping the young to pay for the old is immoral and the system, again, is a fuckin ponzi scheme, everyone will have been more fucked over than if the government instead instilled competence in the population by suggesting we save for our own goddamn retirement/future.
>>8217602If you are offered a job and the 401k pension plan offered by your employer involves Bernie Madoff investments, what the fuck are you supposed to do? Decline that job offer and go unemployed for awhile longer until you get a job offer with a decent pension plan? A lot of Americans are desperate to get a job, any job. You right-wing cucks tell American workers all the time "don't be picky, pick any job offered to you."Where is any of that money in the pie graph you posted going to me as a thirty-something male? lmao. I stand by my statement that you need to be a single mom or a refugee to get welfare in Canada. I as a man in his thirties isn't receiving any of this so-called glorious Canadian welfare that you Americans talk about. rofl. As a 30-something man in Canada, I'm basically a slave. Welfare in Canada is for single moms and refugees. Not men (unless you're a refugee).Also employment insurance is not welfare. You have to pay into employment insurance. Or else you're not going to get it. lmao. If I am forced to pay into employment insurance by gunpoint from the state, should I not be allowed to get my money back when I find myself unemployed and need it? Are you saying that I should just give the government money and not expect anything in return?
>>8211690>>8214454these goys have a point
>>8217810Crush them how, exactly? Name one example of a cartel that wasn't enforced by the government and that wasn't broken by one of the cartel's members.If you want to be the only competitor while offering high prices and low quality, you'd need to enforce it through violence. Not even that might help you, as you might be boycotted.
>>8216187>low IQ chooses call of duty funs and goes out on the street without any thought and little cohesion with his tribe>high IQ snipes the low IQ's whole tribe tactically and disappears like a ghost because HQ took the time to analyze situation>this coming from a guy who lives and lets live to a certain point>anon is only concerned about muh niggers and being edgyIf SHTF and things are forced to devolve, we won't be the ones that lose after they take the first few pot shots, and they won't be smart enough to do a proper first strike. Checkmate.
>>8217891If I pay into my retirement fund or my employment insurance (Canada's PC term for unemployment insurance) fund, I expect to get that money back when I need it. Period. I don't doubt for a second that the government is mismanaging our funds. But I do expect to get what I put in. If the government just fucks off with our money, our politicians deserve to be sentenced to BBC anal gang rape
>>8217862Seriously this.Also, filthy fuckin commies act like not being likely to starve to death and reasonable wealth mobility is bread-crumbs.They need to>zoom out pajeetand realize that not too long ago several superstates murdered countless millions of their own people under Communism's banner to enrich themselves through gang-rape levels of force and maintain totalitarian power.
>>8217953Sure politicians are evil..But the generalized stupidity of a free people necessary for gov to get that kind of strangle hold like they do is the main problem.>Democrazy: The God that Failed
>>8217856It also fucks up people's incentive to understand basic investing. They are happy to live hand-to-mouth spending on stupid shit.I see young people over here becoming desperate because they believe their only option is working until they die if the government increases the minimum retirement age. Literal slaves.
>>8217894Social security is not an investment. The money is not saved and invested. The government takes it from new tax payers and gives it to the old ones, the system requires infinite growth because pensioners need 3x their weight in tax payers, so it is quite literally a ponzi scheme.Since the boomers are the ones who voted to expand it massively they should be left out to dry, not the children who had no say in the matter.>Where is any of that money in the pie graph you posted going to me as a thirty-something male?Cushy government jobs that literal retards can work for one. And as an abled bodied man you have even less excuse to be a leech.And what difference does it make? The fiscal insolvency is going to crash this horrible machine, where the money goes is irrelevant. I'd rather the government blow it all on space rockets and giant gold statues than give it to single moms, foreigners, and old fucks. At least we'd have something cool instead of rampant dysgenics.
>>8217919>Name one example of a cartel that wasn't enforced by the government and that wasn't broken by one of the cartel's membersStandard oil, you live in /pol/ and you don't know about the original Rofeller? What kind meme are you?>If you want to be the only competitor while offering high prices and low quality, you'd need to enforce it through violenceOr you just can like bribe people to not sell other stuff, like Microsoft was doing to Linux and how Coke was in some poor contries, or just mix with the sucessful competitors and create one huge monopoly.
>>8217953>I expect to get that money back when I need itKeep believing that, bub.Sooner or later the bubble pops. In Brazil it's already happening. We do have a ton of other problems, but Canada is moving in the same direction.
>>8218070>Standard oil, you live in /pol/ and you don't know about the original Rofeller? What kind meme are you?Was rapidly losing market share before trust busting even commenced. "Rofeller" and the other "robber barons" did nothing wrong, except for creating the Fed.>Or you just can like bribe people to not sell other stuff, like Microsoft was doing to Linux and how Coke was in some poor contries, or just mix with the sucessful competitors and create one huge monopoly.Do you really think that a company can remain solvent while having to buy off everyone forever? Use your fucking brain.
>>8215949because i was desperate and they took advantage of thatmuch like if i agree to fuck a fat old man for a few grand. it's n-not like i like it or anything!
>>8211635Bother to tell us where the money to buy these machines and resources comes from?
>>8217953>If the government just fucks off with our money, our politicians deserve to be sentenced to BBC anal gang rape>IfOh you sweet child. Your heart is in the right place though.
>>8218070I've heard about Standard Oil, and it's the only example people can find. Predatory pricing can only get you so far because you are bleeding profits as you do it. As >>8218146 said, they were already losing market value.And if people get their oil for super-low prices, then I fail to see a problem. These prices will have to rise eventually and competition will set in for better prices.You only use S.O. as an example because the state broke them before they broke themselves.And in the case of Microsoft and Coke: also didn't last so long, and the market corrected itself.
If capitalists are so greedy, why don't workers start their own collectively owned businesses and run things themselves?
>>8218070Adding to my post:For each example you gave there are dozens more where these cartels were aided by the state. If we have to pick a system with less cartels, mine wins.
>>8218051That's what I was saying. Unless you're a refugee or a government employee, you're not going to get jack fucking shit from the government as a man. Unless you're an elderly man. And baby boomer men did pay into the system.
>>8218250One can only imagine the infighting that would happen because Bob thinks he's already worked too much and started a riot.Constant revolution (and endless poverty), this is what Trosky wanted lol
>>8218280Free market "externalities" are killed overnight, practically.Government externalities become hardcoded into the system.I pick free market.
>>8218233For Microsoft the "market" had nothing to do with it, they were hit with antitrust lawsuits which prevented them from maintaining a monopoly.IBM is an even better example. A literal monopoly to the point that the only competition was literal copies.
>>8214898>privilege literally SJW media cattle
>>8218250Because the workers don't have enough capital to start their own businesses. Not everyone starts at the same position in life at birth. If you are born into a wealthy family, you have a built-in advantage. If I was born into a rich family, all I'd have to do is put my inheritance in the stock market and sit on it, live off the dividends. I'd have to be a fucking idiot to squander my inheritance.Meanwhile if you are born into poverty, you have to fight for scraps on the way up. I owe a lot of my crypto trading success to having supportive financially secure middle-class suburban parents.>>8218452If you are born into more wealth than others, then yes you do have privilege. lol. Whether it is a SJW term or not is irrelevant.If you work for a living, you have exposed yourself as a legit class cuckold. You have a complete lack of class consciousness.
>>8218441Didn't know that about the Microsoft case, thanks.But again: with the advent of internet, do you really think Microsoft would be able to keep doing this forever? People can buy their PC parts separately nowadays and install whatever they want on it. And if MS increases the price of their product too much they create an incentive for people to do so.And in the cases of both IBM and MS, they are protected by IP laws - which libertarians are against.
>>82185694chan doesnt want to hear objectivity. i would save your words.
>>8216408>the Universe is the All MightyAre you trolling?
>>8211398You literal Philistine.You are thinking about it all wrong.First of all, an employer/employee relationship is mutually beneficial. They both get paid, and the employee knows what he's getting into. He knows that money is being made off of his work. It's voluntary.Also, employers don't make very much money PER EMPLOYEE. The amount of money that a company makes from a given worker is smaller than you would probably think. The reason the owners of these companies are rich is simply because they have a fuckton of employees. Ex: A corporation employs 500 people, and makes $1000 per worker. That's not a lot of money PER WORKER, but considering they have 500 workers, that money adds up quick ($500k).
>>8216187>muh high TNiggers are only alpha in blue states where whites have been disarmed.
>>8211398more like the Businessman takes millions of dollars of equipment that worker could never have afforded, put them into a business, and calculated how much he should pay based off what the person's worth there is, and against other companies. Still the worker is a cuck
>>8218281>And baby boomer men did pay into the system.And? The system is a scam. Someone will have to be cut off and hold the bag. Boomers expanded the system so they should be the ones. Kids today are paying into it, but had no choice in the matter. Better we cut the loss now and penalize the people that made such a dumb decision in the first place instead of pawning off the unborn.

>>8214592people with drive or vision will live out of their car that they worked for to start a business they want to succeed at. stop blaming others for something as simple as personal drive, motivation and genetic ability.
>>8218767I'm not a Marxist. I am familiar with Marxist theory and I used to post on /leftypol/ and such. Marxism goes against my class interests. At least at present. I am not part of the proletariat. I am petty bourgeoisie. Or at least lumpen-proletariat if you can classify a NEET crypto trader as that. Lumpen-proletariat are not in the same class as proletariats.If you are not fighting for your own class interests (ie. right-wing wage cucks working at McDonald's who voted for Donald Trump), you are a class cuck.
>>8218871I have made a fair bit of money from this crypto trading gig and you're telling me to stop blaming others for non-existent misfortune? lmao.Meanwhile you're probably some right-wing wage cuck loser who voted for daddy Trump instead of actually fighting for your own class interests. Idiot. lmao.
>>8218955Yeah sure you have fuckwitWhats really funny is that you would jump to gloat about riches while otherwise championing the fight for the working manyou're a joke and you know it
>>8218849the problem is we're not a meritocracy and people aren't on a level playing field.
>>8219121life isnt fairnature isnt fairpeople exist within varying degrees of competencyhumans do not exist on a level playing field brining people that rise above down to the lowest common denominator is a good way to fuck society civilisation was made by domination domination by manhigh iq and competent man
>>8218849i think the issue now is that barriers to market entry for small business and actual middle class entrepreneurs are so high. old money and market consolidation has fucked us right back to the mid 1800s. so i guess im trying to say i agree with your sentiment and your post, it just seems that the person putting up their own capital was born into it and hired others to make a product, do the marketing, and push the buttons while reaping all rewards for themselves.i think we can all agree this is a completely fucked system but it continues to live because theyve convinced everyone they can make it too while they hold all the cards.
>>8219121>the problem is we're not a meritocracy and people aren't on a level playing field.As compared to what?
>>8219228>The only fairness in life is the fairness in being
>>8218170>not having a skill in demandIf you've only got the one option for employment then you're retarded. I've only got a trade, no college education at all and I've got multiple offers from massive companies with 6 figure salaries.Don't blame capitalism for your inability to develop a valuable skill.
>>8218988I never claimed to be the champion of the working man. lmao. Marxists fucking hate me. They hate wage cucks who escape from wage cuck slavery more than they hate their boss who exploits them. I just said that privilege exists. Some people are born into wealth. Some people are born into poverty. And if you are born into wealth, you have a huge advantage in life. Unless you are a retard. You can literally invest your inheritance in the stock market and live off the dividends. Meanwhile the average citizen-slave is forced to wage cuck until 65+ in order to survive. There is nothing fair about the system.This is a cuck or be cucked world. Look out for your own self-interests. If you are looking out for the 1% instead of looking out for yourself, you are a literal cuckold. The 1% spends millions and billions lobbying for their own interests. They don't need your help. You do you nigga. You look out for yourself. You right-wing cucks are collectivists in the other direction.>>8219121this>>8219228>nature isn't fairYeah nature is a big black dick up your fucking ass.

And there is nothing masculine about men whining about black men having sex with their women. /pol/acks are obsessed with masculinity. soyboy this. soyboy that. Yet they have immense anxiety over black men fucking their women. Hence their cuck and blacked.com obsessions.I am not a leftist. I'm an egoist. This leftist narrative that alt-righters are dangerous is a joke. Most alt-righters are harmless neets that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. And while some of them have got their hands on guns (ie. Elliot Rodger) or run people over with their cars, they are largely harmless and a group to laugh at, not fear.

>>8219737Taxes are rape. Sometimes it's hard to tell what is rape and what isnt, but fuck, if something is unconstitutional that's a gurantee its rape. Especially income tax.The IRS can't even fucking point to the basis in law that requires Americans to pay any form of income tax.
>>8219774>The IRS can't even fucking point to the basis in law that requires Americans to pay any form of income tax.>;^)
>>8219774taxes can't be abolished because of globalismyou'd have to completely cut off immigration in order to abolish personal income tax and/or corporate income taxBasically the way we pay for all of the shitheels that come into this country is by estimating the amount of taxes they'll pay and discounting that from their estimated cost to public infrastructure And if we cut off immigration, the population will steadily decline and the gdp will probably drop. That's pretty much anathema to the ideals of anyone in power, even if they're liberal or conservative leaning
>>8219708If we had natural law, the Chads and Tyrones would be running shit. The strong would dominate. And they'd be fucking all the women. Deep dicking your girl right now and legit cuckolding you. And you beta male /pol/ack faggots would be lined up and shot by the hulking alpha males. You wouldn't survive two seconds under natural law.You /pol/acks are the ones who made cuck into a meme. You have immense sexual anxiety about black men fucking your women and taking over. Because you damn well know that they are the true alpha males. This is why you are so obsessed with masculinity.
