Firstly, wage. Secondly, you guys are misdirecting your aggression, or rather, you are angry for the wrong reasons. That Bezos created Amazon which captured the American market in its entirety to the point where statistically speaking every household in America currently has a Prime account - that's not the problem, that's just capitalism. However, when our government bends over backwards for Bezos, and lets his company get off without paying taxes - now that is a problem. There is nothing inherently wrong with operating a business, but part of a successful business is a moral right to give back to your community that helped created your wealth through consumption. You need to boycott Amazon not on the basis that Bezos is richer than you, but you have a right as fucking working class citizens to hate Bezos and Amazon because they do not pay their taxes, resulting in crumbling infrastructure, decayed roads, ill equipped schools, and so on.

inb4 some bootlicking faggot replies and pulls up some statistic about how amazon DOES indeed pay taxes. Yeah, they paid 1 billion on 230+ BILLION in revenue in 2018. Does that sound okay to you? the net profit from that revenue was around 11 billion, which is about 9%. The average small business pays about 20%. The average person pays like 30%. So what about that spells fair? Not to mention they have started to tighten the last few screws in transitioning into garbage Chinese goods effectively turning Amazon into Aliexpress 2.0 almost totally barring domestic producers and sellers from entry due to pricing structures. God I can talk about this shit for hours, this country is absolutely done for. NeoFeudal colony within 50-100 years.

This is quite easy to say when conveniently forgetting the fact that Bezos and all of the individuals of his class quite literally own the US government and all legislative and lobbying bodies responsible to enact such simple legislature.

Well yes, of course I do agree with you, my suggested boycott will never actually make a difference, but I was just suggesting that on an individual moral level. Of course the average person will never stop using Amazon but they will also never advocate for a government/tax reform en masse either. That is why my conclusion is that this country, and the rest of the industrialized world, is ultimately fucked anyway. Wealth inequality will just keep on growing from here onward, and we will soon be subjugated to a feudal class.

It's the same notion as noblesse oblige. The aristocracy understood that as the most wealthy, influential, and intelligent members of society it was their duty to act as the guardians of society. Gentlemen in Victorian England had to prove they did enough to help the poor to get their titles. No man is an island, and if you don't brrecognize your success as an individual is tightly linked to the society that allows you to flourish/promotes ideas that allow you to flourish then society will cease to resemble that.

Also, if you don't throw the dog a bone every once in a while he's gonna pit out on you.

lets not argue about this again because we can just browse through the archives and pick through one of the million discussions that were had about this already. it always boils down to a disparity in viewpoints. You believe that society ought to be more individualistic, and I argue that it can be better when it is more caring towards the whole.

Why do you think that set of values was corrupted? I almost feel like we live in a time now where a person would rather to live in a mansion within a slum rather than in a modest neighborhood where everyone is more or less well off. This is especially true in my home country (former USSR) - when I go visit I am always astounded when a relative takes me to their home and shows me how well he is doing for themselves, relative to his impoverished neighbors. As if he is happy that contrast exists. Like, why wouldn't you want them to be doing well too? Just because you live in a mansion, you still have to look at their old wooden hut drenched in mud every day. You still have to walk past their worn faces every day.

Most people seem to be wired this way, like it's human nature. Just think of how many things are popular because they're considered rare or flashy. In places where it's easy to get fat, people like thin girls, in places where it's easy to starve, people like fat girls.

You can see the opposite phenomenon when people justify their laziness or shitty lives by comparing themselves to others with shitty lives.

Honestly and speaking as a lifelong atheist, it is the result of Christianity losing its grip on peoples belief structure. The notion of charity arises from the axiom that each human has a spark of the divine creator, and that when you do good or bad to your neighbor you are doing the same to God himself.

These things used to form the basis of our society, but Marxism (and its various permutations) have purposefully destroyed these foundations causing an atomization of society. The destruction of the family isn't just you and your kin, it's you and your church, you and you community, and you and your country.

[Anonymous No.17010693]

That really resonates with me, man. That's so true, people are so contrarian by nature, scarcity is truly the most valuable commodity, the founding capitalists truly nailed that idea.

>>17010583
Good point, I personally wouldn't even allude to Marxism or Capitalism in this sense, but rather to Nietzschian's description of the death of religion - he wondered so much what the consequences of said death would be. I think we are living through those consequences. Perhaps one of the enlightenment's shortcomings was its inability to create a lasting replacement in lieu of religion. Or at least if it did, in intellect, and science, it surely failed to manifest itself on a mass scale as thoroughly as did religion.

In my home country, an extremely religious place - though orthodox christian, there is a very class based system however. The wealthy are seen as kissed by God and the lowly peasants also know to "know their place". I think that is why despite the prevalence of Christianity there its still such a shitheap. So I think though your explanation though definitely explains a lot cannot be applied to ALL sects of Christianity.

>>17010693
Nietzsche's lamentation on the death of religion was mostly correct, but Marxism replaced the traditional forms of religion. In the west, the cultural-Marxism (as envisioned, purpose-built, by the Frankfurt School) has replaced Christianity as the principal religion among the young. The vacuum always has to be filled by something. I am not terribly familiar with Eastern Orthodox tradition or the societies that arose from them, but the originally Catholic and later Protestant areas seem to have gotten their notions of charity and hierarchical order from the foundations of the Christian Mythos.

Oh shit, man. Is that really what that is? Multiculturalism is literally a religion, or is filling the hole that religion left in humanity? Can you source so I can learn more?

>>17010832
The Madness of Crowds by Douglas Murray is a good starting point for this. The Coddling if the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt is also a good look into the subject.

If you want to know more I suggest trying to find writings regarding what the Frankfurt School proposed and how it sought to destroy Western culture in order to bring about worldwide communism. They rightly stipulated that communism was incompatible with western notions of liberty and individual sovereignty, so they started at its foundations.
