Dont have kids. Starve the bourgeoisie.

I'm not sure collective suicide is a solution, but if it were, I'd still be reluctant to implement it.

  It would send a very convincing message, though.

    Who would be left to receive it?

      The bourgois, whom would have to fight among themselves to determine who will dominate, and who will be dominated. Or they would have to resort do massive immigration, destroying culturally their own country in the process, and laying the path to being replaced in the long run. None of this path is good for them.

        dang, is this type of discourse acceptable here ?
        NoMoreNicksLeft 3y ago
        Is the bourgeoisie stuff any more acceptable? The original comment I replied to was talking about death cult tactics.

        Thanks for the new opportunity to flag your comment.If you sincerely think that not wanting kid is a death cult tactic... Well I don't even have to say it. I LL just let people make their own opinion of you.
        NoMoreNicksLeft 3y ago
        Sure. I welcome the opportunity for someone who look at both our comments. > I LL just let people make their own opinion of you. That's rich coming from the guy who is selling (unironically, best I can tell) genocide. I mean, your narcy-ness is almost agreeable relative to that.

How’s that working out for you with immigration?

  Your comment is greyed out, but this is a genuinely good question. I live in a country where homes for the elderly (and the health system at large) have managed to remain profitable while overpaying doctors and severely underpaying just about anyone else. Now we're two months into a failing doctors' strike (because the doctors feel like they can extort an even higher wage from the state) and we're on the way to sign a memorandum for easier worker immigration from Phillipines because we need nursing and medical assistance staff and the (heavily subsidized and mostly state-ran) healthcare institutions can't by law pay native staff a fair wage. What I can gather from that so far is that it sucks when you're being fucked over by a free market economy because some venture capitalist is being a miser, but it's 10 times worse when the miser is a legitimately legislated government. Immigration is not just a xenophobia issue, it's a genuine concern when an entity realizes it doesn't need to spend as much and starts mass importing cheap manpower from the other side of the globe.

    It seems like the worst thing about free markets are changes that make them unfree or coercive beyond the baseline coercion inherit in being alive. Free markets are just the state of nature and improving on nature is difficult right?
    - kristjank 3y ago
      I am not so positive about your view here, I was saying that free markets can be bad, but when a government acts as a free-market entity like a corporation, it gets even worse, because you can't bet against it and economically influence it the same way you can a corporation. That's not a statement against market regulation, it's a statement against goverments getting too many economists and too little humanitarians to run themselves and trying to maximize economic markers instead of the citizens' welfare.

Please do follow this strategy if you are convinced of its merit.
- malka 3y ago
  Please dont, if you think you'll enjoy watching your children being worked to death by the bourgeoisie.
  - cupcakecommons 3y ago
    I'm in total support of you not having children "to starve the bourgeoisie". I want to do all that I can to help you remain true to this strategy as long as you feel this way!
