@avispartan1@tovarischrex@GMomurder got it, glad to have a better understanding of your politics! good luck with convincing people that doing one mode of manual labor their whole life is socialism. i think that, even if you subscribe to this reading, you should still find room for expression and the arts
@avispartan1@tovarischrex@GMomurder i didn’t say alienation was “when you’re sad,” so we agree on that. not sure why you brought that up? your second point is also correct, however in my reading of marx, it seemed obvious that one should not spend one’s entire life in one single profession
@Csmitty12_21@bigsnugga@AdjusterLuigi@fant_baseballer@arshgoyal13@goodstructure@bo_austin_ we have a limited time on our beautiful planet. arguing that we should spend our short window of existence in ignorance rather than pursuing knowledge is one of the saddest things i have seen, and unfortunately common. i hope you find joy in existence soon. peace and love
@avispartan1@tovarischrex@GMomurder you come across as someone who has never actually read marx. if you have, i encourage you to revisit it more critically, paying special attention to the Marx’s descriptions of alienation and estrangement
@Matty878646329 @ok_but_still@MetapolitikerX “ad hominem” only exists to losers who think every conversation is a “debate.” in real life, it’s normal to call someone who posts about being afraid of women a loser
@alexandersclark@BanderReturn@ryanhasbadtaste and of course, it’s due to their complete ineptitude that they fail to understand why post-romanticism progressed the way it did. if you only appreciate beethoven for the way a “melody” (melody? beethoven???) sounds, of course you won’t understand Schoenberg
@alexandersclark@BanderReturn@ryanhasbadtaste which, btw, there’s nothing wrong with being unfamiliar with western classical. it’s just embarrassing when losers try to use western classical to “elevate themselves” but they can only appreciate melody and not the actual genius in form, harmony, ie the craftsmanship present
