What drives weak people who want power?

>> No.20850894

Resentment. Always resentment. Here, there and everywhere.

An infantile narcissistic view of the world. The prime example of this today is right-wingers and their bizarre sado-masochistic power tripping fantasies.

>> No.20850902

>>20850894
But do they have cause? Resentment without cause is envy, resentment with cause is the seeking of justice.

Everyone wants power, fool. Marx was smart because he made an objective deconstruction of capitalism before the terms deconstruct or capital even existed

Nietzsche is utterly redundant and useless. His criticisms of socialism, pity and altruism are the weakest points of his oeuvre.

Wouldn't the true injustice be to have power in the hands of the most envious?

Will To Power. When they don't succeed it turns into Ressentiment. When they are successful they become the opressors. That is equally common on the left and right.

That's a myth. What drives a person is cause. And for there to be a cause there must be some great justice done against the person.

>> No.20850982

>>20850979
>justice
Injustice.

Pareto distribution. Absolutely every metric in society becomes massively concentrated (80/20 rule, but it can become even more concentrated). If you own large amount of capital, it's way easier to obtain more capital, but if you own zero capital, it's very difficult to begin to accumulate any. Society either implements mechanisms to correct for this, or it descend into rioting and revolt. Take a guess where we are heading today.

But if the people are happy then there's no problem. Then it would only be envy and envy is not truly powerful. It's genuine cause that lights the fire and that always starts from the very bottom of society. Do you think there is genuine injustice?

People aren't happy when they have less wealth than their parents did. The power brokers in the world should take note of this.

Basically this, evolutionary determinism explains everything explicable .

you're the retard, even libidinal desire is about power in the end. i define power as transcendence, because that's what it is.

You're not going to get that by unjustly ruining people's lives.

physically weak people can still have sexual drives

look at Elliot Roger

>>20851131
you must have me mistaken for a determinist, because asexuals exist, or rather people with a low sex drive due to experience with other people. or MGTOWs who opt out also due to experience, not everything is "pre-determined" by libido, some people have the capacity for it some people don't. some just opt out. empirical reasoning must have a first cause from the act of going out and finding knowledge. I think trusting your gut is probably a good thing but every population has its numbers of malcontents who just don't "act" like the anon above, I mention Elliot Roger who couldn't approach a woman if his life depended on it so it came out as violence out the "otherside". things can always be misdirected if the will cannot not act on the initial plan.

>look at Elliot Roger
You're right.

>>20851184
The measure doesn't matter, what matters is the sate of people's minds. Are people happier now than 50 - 60 years ago?

>> No.20851199

>>20851191
Women are actually much less happy. Google "the paradox of declining female happiness".
