The Egalitarian Advantage; Rise of a class redutionist

                                       So the first part of this “The Egalitarian Advantage” is a rant, primarily against feminism. And although I stand by what I said (otherwise it wouldn’t be up anymore) the fact still remains that it was a rant. Not an expression of valid criticisms, which is what I will aim to do here. I will also clarify my positions, talk of other movements that I oppose for similar reasons. As well as express the true advantages of egalitarianism and class reductionism. Check out the first part ( https://conthestonerlin.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-egalitarian-advantage.html ) if you haven't or can’t remember it. Intersectionality, the much more accurate, or at least precise defining feature of fourth wave feminism. Now my problem with intersectionality is that it is an anal...

FASCISTS ARE REAL, and not what you think...

So the other day, I was watching videos about corporatism, you know, as one does. And I started watching a video that was explaining it correctly. And well I had a funny feeling. I know corporatism has association with fascism, they were getting it right, and NOBODY gets it right, I knew they were either fascists or anarchists. And I was really hoping for the latter. So I looked them up online, and they are fascists. No this isn't just the left calling everyone a fascist, I wish it was. I am not talking about Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, or Donald Trump. I am talking about actual Mussolini is a god, liberty sucks, tripartism is awesome fascists. And tripartism is pretty cool, so they got, well more than we’d like to admit. Fascism is fundamentally flawed, however misunderstood, and that’s putting it lightly. However we do a great disservice when we do not acknowledge the “attractive rhetoric” and why it’s so attractive. Things like unity, collectivism, corporatism and class colla...

The Problem With Capitalism

                                                   So capitalism, what is the problem with it? I mean really though? Well numerous things, but they all have their root in individualism. I mentioned this in a previous post, and I said I would explain more and “come for” neoliberals and capitalists. And that’s what I'm doing now. The reason that I discussed religion previously is that I view religion and capitalism to be the root of most world problems. But, of course, they have their root too. So whats wrong with individualism? Well, whats wrong with being a selfish ass hole, who doesn’t care about anyone's benefit but their own? Because that’s essentially what individualism is. It is a lifestyle philosophy based around living life only con...

The Problem With Religion

Religion, a metaphysical lifestyle philosophy. An inherently toxic belief system, that is for some reason given a pass. Religion as a broad concept, has had a prevailing influential role throughout history, and continues to today. It has also no doubt lead to horrible things, like wars and genocide, not to mention it’s significant promotion and enforcement of bigotry, in some way or another, throughout history and today. But underlining it all is the belief in the metaphysical, the belief in falsehoods. And how this is seen as “okay”. And how that is a major threat to the continuing progress of human society. That is what I will be discussing here. Pseudoscience, not always religious, but a religions best friend. Pseudoscience is science with a bias, science that assumes more than the validity of pragmatism, like the truth of religion. I would say that religion is one of the largest promoters of pseudoscience today. And that is likely largely because of the “pass” it is given. Res...

How Capitalism Hurts Rich People

Capitalism hurts the poor. This is commonly understood and expressed, mainly by communists, socialists, and other anti-capitalists. Now I would agree with this. But I would also go further. Capitalism is toxic and it destroys everything that it touches. The poor of-course, but also the rich, the capitalists the entrepreneurs and the proprietors. To me communism is not anti-rich it is anti-capitalism. The economic philosophy centered around individual accumulation and distribution of wealth (capitalism), is countered by the economic philosophy centered around the collective accumulation and distribution of wealth (communism). And it should be obvious that an economy for a society (which is a collective) based on individual accumulation and distribution of wealth is deeply flawed, unstable, and a very bad idea. But for who? The working class? The proletariat? The laborers? The proprietors? The entrepreneurs? Well yes, to all. Now maybe your a capitalist or neoliberal, and you don’t t...

Meat&Morality

                                                    Is it moral to eat meat? Is “factory farming" moral? Are those the same questions? Yes, no, and no. In which order am I answering these questions? In which order do you think I am? Many people would disagree with my answers regardless of the order. When it comes to eating meat, factory farming is always mentioned, as if the same thing. The means of production though are different than the product. “factory farming” is the modern means of production for meat, the product. Lets rethink my first questions. Is it moral to wear Adidas? Is child slavery moral? And, are those the same questions? Veganism is a diet, and lifestyle philosophy. Originally it was about not exploiting animals. ...

VIOLENCE, HATRED, FEAR, (and REVOLUTION)

Violence never solves anything. That old cliche. Of-course it’s not entirely accurate. History alone should prove that. The revolutionary war, the war of 1812, and the civil war, just to name a few. So why is this said and what does it really mean? Violence never solves anything. I like to say it a different more accurate way; If there is a non-violent solution, that’s always your best one. At-least always better than the violent one. Now how is that different? Because I’m not saying there always is or will be, sometimes the violent solution may be your best bet, but it will never EVER be if there is a non-violent option. In other words if violence is not used as an ABSOLUTE last resort, it is bad. Hatred on the other hand is always bad, although natural and inevitable. Though it is always, and inherently bad, because it actually never solves anything, EVER. Hatred hurts everybody, the hateful, the hated, and even the non-hated/hateful indifferent folk. This emotion can however be...
