Hier nochmal die Zusammenfassung des Fernsehduells

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

A comment I am now unable to locate pointed out that fake-working-class trustafarians can be identified by their subscription to a mythical idea of what poverty is.

The sound of a poor neighborhood in the United States is not the shouts and laughter of children at play, the music floating from the open window of abuela's kitchen as she makes empanadas, the chatter of men playing dominos on a folding table on sidewalk.

It is the shriek of a child as his single, crack-addict mother beats him, the ceaseless barking of the vicious and unsocialized pitbull in the fenced-off yard, the unmuffled exhaust of the cheap sports car with peeling paint as it pulls up across the way to disgorge a trio of angry drunks.

To this observation, I would add:

The socialist trustafarian's idealized notion of poverty is drawn not only from Hollywood, but from socialism's own profoundly wrong ideas about what poverty is and where it comes from.

Middle and upper class socialists think poverty is lack of money.

Thus, whenever they are confronted with a member of the underclass, or, more often, the abstract idea of a member of the underclass, they think he is them, minus money.

And that's how they expect him to act, right up until the point they get stabbed.

This is also why they think the problem of poverty can be solved simply by taking money from those who have it, and giving it to those who don't.

Now, at some times, in some parts of the world, this sort of poverty may indeed have existed. When economic conditions are so depressed that great swathes of otherwise-functional people are poor, then they may, indeed, build vibrant, functional neighborhoods with a strong sense of community.

But in a capitalist, or capitalist-adjacent system, that's not what happens. Sure, becoming wealthy is always hard, and often needs to be a multigenerational process, but capitalist systems do not hold talented, stable, high-agency people in utter poverty for long.

In capitalism, poverty is lack of the ability to secure an income.

This means that poor areas in first world capitalist countries are not filled with cheerful urchins selling newspapers, but with people who have some issue preventing them from being functional wage-earners.

Typically this has to do with mental health, addiction, or life skills. And it means that poor neighborhoods, in, say, the US, aren't just filled with broke people, they are filled with people who do antisocial things.

You cannot fix this by moving resources around.

And if you subscribe to a mental model (socialism) that ascribes virtue to poor people, and evil to rich ones, then you end up having to do absurd mental gymnastics to try to characterize every prosocial behavior, such as training your dog not to bark, and not running the leaf blower at 0730, to be acktshoeally problematic in some weird way.

The wealth of the wealthy comes from inhabiting a culture, and subculture, where social encounters are a source of opportunities and mutual benefit, rather than conflict. Measurable financial wealth is important, yes, but it is downstream of existing, and functioning, in this sort of high-trust, cooperative, networked society.

Some behaviors of wealthy people are a consequence of wealth. But others are a cause of it, and still others are symptoms of more fundamental attitudes that lead to it.

And one of the major reasons why people buy houses in expensive neighborhoods is so avoid inconsiderate people.

Dieser Thread ist das ganze Problem warum die Jungwähler sich abwenden.

Die Jungwähler wollen nicht 'MeHr SOziaLE GereCHTigKeiT", die wollen verdammt nochmal eine Perspektive. Und natürlich ist denen das Klima egal, wenn sie nicht das Gefühl haben 2 Jahre nach Studiums- oder Ausbildungsende eigenständig ohne Stütze im Leben stehen zu können.

Haben sich Leute wie Lara mal angeguckt was es stand heute bedeutet in Deutschland ein Unternehmen zu gründen? Oder auch nur rein nebenberuflich irgendwas cooles zu versuchen (siehe mein Pin-Tweet?).
Du wirst mit Regularien, Abgaben und Red Tape komplett erschlagen.

Dieses Land braucht nicht MEHR STAAT, es braucht WENIGER STAAT. ÜBERALL.

Wir stecken in einem Haufen Sand fest indem man die Zahnräder des Getriebes schon garnicht mehr findet.

Der Staat soll verdammt nochmal das tun wofür er da ist: Außenrepräsentation und Verteidigung, Innere Sicherheit/Rechtsstatlichkeit, ein GROBER regulatorischer Rahmen für fairen Wettbewerb und wegen mir persönlich auch ein soziales Fangnetz für die, die ohne wirklich nicht können. That's it.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

The opinions of young people have no special moral weight. Indeed, the opinions of young people as a class are more likely to be wrong, due to the fact that they are generally less informed than others and are more easily swayed by emotion, ignorance, and recency bias.
