Not reporting is bourgeois

The working class wants capitalism to continue so they can get cheap beef and iphones. Working class white, brown, black, and asian men really only want two things, gender normality, and cheap animal products, that's all they care about. You will never appeal to them. They are a lost cause.

Dictatorships and fascism are outdated forms of government, just as historically irrelevant as state socialism. Failed states, dead ends, they lost the evolutionary arms race that was undertaken between statist entities; they are inferior rivals to the Neoliberal Democratic State which has won history as of this point.

Edward Bernays won. Desire won. People desire material things and the industrial system will keep producing what they desire until the environment collapses.

The only solution is the death of material desire, do you really think in a stateless, classless, society without capitalism Africans would willingly slave away in the cobalt mines so fat white people get to jerk off on computers anyway? Sorry, but this industrialized system of commodity production cannot last.

You people need secular and westernized Buddhist philosophy. Whatever your philosophical leanings and opinion on vulgar materialism vs dualism, you need to want to desire less and you need to want consume less. The capitalist wins whenever you want what he's selling. You need to act like karma is a real metaphysical force and that you will be psychically harmed if you harm others or partake in a evil system (capitalism).

imagine thinking that the working class can afford jackshit in these times of global recession. even the living standard of the best paid strata pales in comparison to workers under the 20th century welfare states

Yeah, sorry, but if you own a iphone and if you eat meat everyday you're taking up far more resources and causing far more destruction of the environment than migration era nobility. You are also benefiting materially from slavery, whether you work at McDonalds or the Amazon Warehouse. On a real material level if you buy into the capitalist system you are worse than ancient aristocrats in your power to parasitize off the labor of others.

Drink you coffee picked by Brazilian children, play on your computer made by African miners and Chinese factory workers. Eat the flesh of pigs who possess the intellectual and emotional intelligence of five year old children, and act like you're not benefiting form exploitation, please.

You people are spoiled and brainwashed into desiring things like cars by advertising. It is evident by history that material progress only leads to more neoliberalism. China is a capitalist state at its core.

I'm a lumpen, because I am not a cuck for capitalism and am not actually interested in working at McDonalds so I can play a part in the rat race. The guys working at McDonalds, the working class, well, they're responsible for whatever leadership you have in your countries. They voted for Trump in mine.

I read manga and all, but most Westerners who idealize Eastern philosophers or religions is a pseud of the highest order who were filtered by post-classical western thinkers.
Like the people who read the Art of War and decided this makes them military geniuses, you read some "Buddhism for Idiots" drivel and decided this is what everyone needed to know.

The point isn't to be better, it's to post doomer shit so you can feel content with never trying to improve anything.

>The workers possess false consciousness!
Yes, and this false consciousness is material desire. If you tell people they should become socialists because its in their economic interest to do so, you're never going to win because that simply isn't true. Because of advertising, people today want material things, and the abstract idea of being exploited does not not matter to them. They choose to work for the capitalists to keep this going, they do not want to rebel in any way.

The USSR was not able to shove as many designer clothes, calorie dense processed foods, and electronics into the hands of its citizens as the US was, and people know this.

Why are you people still acting like it's 1880? Are you actually retarded? Do you think writing stupid garbage like this makes it true. WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THE SHIT YOU CONSUME COMES FROM????!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK IMPERIALISM IS EVEN A THING????!!!!
>>5732
You're not wrong. I am not perfect. However on a intellectual level it is important to ask ourselves what would actually fix the predicament we're in, and the only solution is actively rejecting feeding any more into capitalism. At some level we're all exploiters, but it is important to minimize that.

I mean I agree I guess. I find consumption disgusting even though I obviously participate myself. I can't understand why people aren't able to control themselves and not just buy tons of worthless shit they barely use

Don't care, veganism and detachment from material desire is the solution to the Edward Bernays advertising machine that is neoliberalism.

>I can't understand why people aren't able to control themselves and not just buy tons of worthless shit they barely use
It's because this is what they want, they want to consume as much as possible before they die that is how they find meaning. This meaning was given to them at a young age by their parents, schools, and propaganda/advertising. Most people want what they're told they want.

Incorrect, also not an argument. I can say that you like to let Elon Musk blow his load up your asshole, but that would just be conjecture. It's good not to rely on conjecture for forming your worldview of another person.

>>5747
no conjecture required when your other posts give ample evidence of you having read the wiki article about Edward Bernays and now feeling like having an epiphany.

and whos making that material desire? isn't it capitalists with advertising? porky invented consoomerism in the 1920s to make people buy unnecessary shit

>>5751
>>5741
Consumerism predates the 1920s

>The working class wants capitalism to continue so they can get cheap beef and iphones
My groceries is greater than 50% of my expenses as a blue collar, so there already is no cheap beef. I do not want Genocide Capitalism (note Gaza), so your premise is refuted right off the bat.

>>5741
let's say everything you say ITT is true. What do you want people to do about it?

>>5724
Yes yes we all know proles are fucktards, that doesn’t mean their retarded, cattle-like consciousness will last eternal, it can only last for as long as the bourgeoisie can maintain it

>>5753
Groceries 50% of expenses, fucking how? Do you live in a box or something?

Nah, workers are working themselves to death and they know it. The baubles that are meant to distract them they can't even afford.

Kill yourself op.

>preachy vegan thinks there better than everyone else
many such cases common lifestylism L

>>5751
For sure capitalists are the ones most responsible but I have to live in a society of constant advertising too yet somehow I manage to not spend all my money on worthless crap, like do normies not realise that paying attention to any ad can only be bad for you? If their product was good they wouldn't have to pay to shove it in your face

>>5758
Imagine being preachy about putting hundreds of billions of animals in concentration camps and destroying the entire planet to fill your fat belly with meat

>>5762
It can’t be
Who said it needs to be justified
It’s happening right now without any actual justification
So what are you going to do about it?
And now that we’ve established that whether or not it’s “immoral” has little to do with why it’s happening and how it can be stopped, maybe now we can start analyzing why human societies as a whole are making decisions that trap them into path dependencies that are ecologically destructive

>>5764
That's great and all but l can't personally dismantle all the systems of oppression in the world, but I can at least try my best not to contribute to them

>>5741
>The USSR was not able to shove as many designer clothes, calorie dense processed foods, and electronics into the hands of its citizens as the US was, and people know this.
Thats because of their level of development and the portion of world resources they controlled, its not inherent to soviet style governance.

>>5724
>society without capitalism Africans would willingly slave away in the cobalt mines so fat white people get to jerk off on computers anyway?
Why would they, without capitalism places with cobalt would extract it for their own benefit and under better conditions.

Sounds like a lot of your idea here is predicated on climate doomerism. Things are gonna suck but if everyone was gonna die you would see some kind of consensus about that among countries that aren't dependent on petroleum monopolies.

Your also mixing up commodity production with industrial systems. You can have an industrial system that doesn't produce commodities. I've read Deleuze and am vegan too but you just sound detached from reality. Communism can give us a rationally planned green industrial economy that works with the environment and fulfills peoples desires without exploitation, that is still true and hasn't changed.

>>5765
So you’d rather make lifestyle consumer choices and have essentially no impact while you watch the world burn around you rather than personally contribute to the movements trying to end this nightmare because you *might* fail?

If you’re going to die anyway, why not on your feet, instead of on your knees?

Why would you do exactly what porky advertises and criticize anyone else? Lifestylism is a consumer choice too, resistance is not.

>>5767
How is participating in whatever movements contradictory with changing your personal consumption? Who would even trust a member of some vegan pressure group that was just a regular carnist anyway?

>>5729
Folks, where's the lie?

>>5754
telling that OP has no answer for this. they're just another navel gazing nihilist who wants to feel better than everyone else. they want to call imperial core workers spoiled slave owners for having iphones and eating meat. but they don't have a solution to this problem

>>5729
>Give me real class analysis, actually tell me why I'm wrong.
The proletariat participates in less and less of the surplus gained by superprofits due to the overaccumulation of the capitalist class. It overproduces these commodities you mention and then when no one can afford them other than an increasingly smaller section of the population - it leads to massive waste and inefficiency, it causes the capitalists to protect and guard social neccessities like food to protect their profits when people are starving in the street. It requires capitalists to fire mroe workers and replaced them with fixed capital to make them more productive but it sends thousands more into precarity. When these social relations are laid bare it points to directly towards the complete abolition of private property from the perspective of the working class because now capital is itself an obstacle towards social reproduction.

>>5724
this is totally superstructural analysis. Ofc cons00merism is false consciousness but once socialism hits there won't be any corporations around to advertise and continue manufacturing false consciousness any more so the problem will be solved almost imeediately. No more porky, no more advertising.

its not contradictory it just doesn't do anything. consumer boycotts dont work legal enforcement on production does. if you want people to stop eating meat and driving big trucks make it illegal and incentivize alternatives. what you need is vegan stalin to do a 5 year plan that taxes fossil fuels and slaughterhouses out of existence while simultaneously putting all of that into public transport and soy burgers. at the end of the 5 years start jailing carnist truckers and you've won plus saved all the animals and the climate. its called dictatorship for a reason

Yea so do I.

>People desire material things and the industrial system will keep producing what they desire until the environment collapses.

You are unable to see species essence of humanity, what makes humanity human is going beyond "nature". "The environment" hasn't been in a "natural state" ever since humans caused the megafauana extinction, and definately not since the agricultural revolution. In fact, there is no such thing as "natural stability". There is only the system as it is, and humans will, if unshackled from capitalist blind production, able to plan rationally, intervene in their environment to sustain it in such a way that it can sustain them, and thats all there is to it, and all we need to do. There is no nature, one state of "nature" is not better than another.

>The only solution is the death of material desire,

To be alive is to have material desire, for you are a living being with needs and requirements to sustain life. The "death of material desire" is the death of billions of people being kept alive by the wonders of the anthropocentric systems and technology, a new epoch in earth history.

>do you really think in a stateless, classless, society without capitalism Africans would willingly slave away in the cobalt mines so fat white people get to jerk off on computers anyway?

Inane sentence. Under a stateless classless society the cobalt mines all over the world would be filled with the best machinery mankind has to offer. But I guess it is inconceivable for a first world malthusian like you to imagine "the browns" being anything but animals for you to laugh at, to think that they too can and must elevate to the highest level of human dignity. Your ideal world is one where the noble savages of the world stay where they are and you intellectually masturbate over "not having material desire" while actually sitting at your computer, humming in hippy communes, propped up by the same capitalist systems you cannot conceive of even being anything other than what they are now.

>>5760
>Imagine being preachy about putting hundreds of billions of animals in concentration camps and destroying the entire planet to fill your fat belly with meat
I don't give a shit about animals.

Lol, reactionary idealist drivel about how we need to RETVRN to tradition and adopt buddhist theocracy because as the only means to counter the end of history and liberal supremacy. Incredible that someone with an anarchist flag is posting this. This is what getting high on the anti-consumerist spook gets you.

>You are unable to see species essence of humanity
humans regularly dehumanize each other and themselves while simultaneously humanizing animals. Meanwhile all species continue evolving and changing. With this in mind, what is "species essence"? Why is it impossible in your mind that other species could have a similar "essence" as us, either through evolution or eventual high-tech modificatoin?
