When did you realize that no one actually gives a fuck about socially necessary labour time, property rights theory, or demographics and at the end of the day the masses just do what the masses feel like and if it means; killing Socrates, burning "witches", going on crusades, taxing the shit out of people, treating workers like shit, importing violent muslims to satisfy their immediate desires then they'll do it no matter how correct your basis for self-ownership, or theory of value or genetic trends statistics is?

All that matters is how good you are at persuasion to get people to do what you want, not the quality of your ideas. All that matters is how well you can appeal to peoples emotions, their fears and their dreams. If the devils and tyrants are the ones to do it, they rule over you generation after generation, civilization to civilization.

This is big probrem.

I wonder how long these guys actually sat and thank....just playing things over in their mind for god knows how long waiting for the dots to connect and that eureka moment.

As opposed to reading something today and going "whelp that sounds right and confirms my bias' this is now what I believe, good luck shaking me from this tree!".
