urban settlements outside of just how theyre designed promote the following
atomization of every structure of society and every tool used, combination of settlements to form greater organizations of society, unity in the desire for capital, the rapid development in industrial and technological growth wether the adoption of modernization or through direct innovation

On cell towers

As society becomes increasingly electrified and computer tech advances in more sectors of urbanization beyond as storage for information and mindless entertainment cell towers will be needed to maintain some form of control over this tech as society becomes increasingly wireless with the rise of 5G, remote controlled machinery and automation along with infrastructure that accommodates these productive machines, cell towers must be built larger more dense and more importantly will need to be designed in such a fashion that different signals can be controlled either automatically or manually for any individual person to accommodate the increasing needs of the collective

Sometimes cities just feel like professionally built slums

on the greater bay area

its not a city but a connection between cities
it needs to be profitable otherwise its gonna be a massive revenue sink for the chinese government

heres a list of things this project is gonna need in order for this project to not implode in on itself
>for once I suggest the chinese government not build cities densely, the problem with coastal cities compared to landlocked ones is that coastal cities cause flooding due to to much infrastructure more specifically large infrastructure like skyscrapers and high rises being built in such a small location leading to massive pressure and likewise shit starts sinking and water elevates, we already saw this happen in shanghai where flooding is so bad that water rises above the height of most chinese citizens, its likely this 70 million person city is gonna be heavily sprawled
>again profitability, governments arent exempt from the falling rate of profit and most cities cost as much as they due to run and likewise its easy to run into situations where megaprojects like this one can turn out to be an immediate waste of money and resources on release day or just a few years after theyre built, its a sort of its form looks cool but does it run cool type of situation
>there needs to be rail and I mean alot of it, although I mentioned that cities in this particular sector of china shouldnt be built to densely the problem is that the traffic in such a populated city is obviously gonna be obnoxiously bad and likewise road maintenance costs and simply put the amount of cars on the road in general is gonna be a pain in the ass not just for the government to fund but also for the risk of flooding, I suggest subway stations as a low pressure high density solution rather than conventional or elevated rail

Saudi Arabia and America make me upset

I was looking through street view images of those countries and was unfortunately reminded that this entire planet can be considered 3rd world. Much of those countries aren’t composed of the massive metropolitan pillars of civilization you see in the media but rather towns and villages pretty much everywhere with the major cities being even more depressing when you realize it’s possible to find pictures of African cities and fool yourself into thinking they’re ones from these cities which not only upsets me at how much efficient infrastructure is developed but by how much modern infrastructure has actually developed not just in form but also in functions like connectivity with other buildings, plumbing radio tech etc. Most of the “urban” population of these settlements live in cities that aren’t fully developed or just straight up not developing and regressing into nothing something that can be observed in how much of Dubai is composed of megastructures that weren’t finished due to cut funding or how neighborhoods in New York have barely changed in aesthetics compared to the 1940s. The best cities on this planet are in Japan and Canada and that’s about it, the rest of the planet is just idk how to describe the situation a mixed of developed and underdeveloped regions all clustered together to make a state look wealthier than what it actually is while government incompetence diverts funding away from better and more infrastructure that can increase the living conditions and the population of urbanites but rather towards some of the dumbest shit you can think of. It’s really sad

>The nature of the world system and the designated hegemon now shifts.
Why does there have to be a hedgemon ?
why would china want to be hedgemon, as a regional power they become untouchable and won't need to deal with all the costs of maintaining an empire.

IIRC so did the Soviet Union. But the Soviets blinked, nukes weren't fired, the SU voted itself out of existence.

This is what I mean; the Chinese absolutely need the EU to be independent and not an American client / proxy. The United States / AUKUS / Quad / ABCA can sanction China all it wants, but as long as the EU maintains trade ties with China, the sanctions don't have effect.

As long as China still has market access to the EU, the American attempt to contain China will fail.

===

China vs the US as major hegemon is a timing issue / race condition. As long as the US doesn't zerg rush China between now and 2030, China will reach economic parity and be within 5 years of technological parity by 2030.

This implies the breakdown of the American World System as the United States, first, no longer has the ability to exert its will unchallenged, and second, it's no longer even the biggest consumer market.

Read stuff like American Tianxia. The United States' place in the World System is that it's the consumer of last resort; all countries wish to export to the United States and the American ability to deny other countries access to its markets and capital markets is the underpinning of the American World System.

However, for China to make it through to 2030 without an actual war, the place of the United States in the American World System collapses because now there are two suns in the sky.

the sad thing is although china has their economic might but its soft power is still weak compared to even japan or south korea.

china also won't influence that much people.

>>547608
China traditionally had soft power; arguably, the Western system of tested bureaucracy derives from the Song civil service examinations. Maoism, likewise, was quite popular in the West during the 60s and 70s.

Moreover, China is beginning to make soft power pushes with things like Genshin; i.e, adopting weeabooist semiotics to push its own vision of global affairs.

No-one said that.

If capitalism is good for a single thing, it is continuously BTFOing tradition and beliefs.

Previous ruling ideologies, while they continue to haunt us, are nevertheless dead.

Morality shmorality

Without morality, what is the reason for anything? What makes leftism right, and capitalism wrong? Morality is what justifies right and wrong, and it does not have to line up with common thought.

Libertarians believe in individual rights, conservatives use Judeo-Christian values, and I think leftist morality comes from a general respect for human dignity.

We are all moral, that’s why we are leftists. It is time to stop denying it though.

morality is a matter of taste. all the world's errors come down to denying this truth.

>>546639
Yes, morality is good and can certainly help for the greater good.

Broke: Capitalism is Hell, and we're trapped in it.

Woke: Capitalism is Hell, but we as pilgrims must persevere through its horrors that we might one day emerge into the purgatorial light of socialism and gradually ascend to the distant paradise of communism.

Neat.

All COVID-denying, climate change denying leninhat fucktards should be shot and not even buried due to the genuine danger their idiocy poses to the working class

The nazi economy was a slave state reliant on loans from central banks and the promise under hitler that the resources plundered from other European countries would pay off the countries chronic debt, unsurprisingly after the war the country would be reliant on the USA for foreign aid for the next 80 fucking years

yes you retard because how badly people want the raw materials and labor determines how scarce they are

>>546877
Isn’t “how hard it is to make” basically supply? This isn’t new. Supply and demand is theorized by the labor value people such as Adam Smith and Ricardo. To say labor value is how value is made is like saying that some magical ethereal “supply” is constantly floating in space waiting to give things their value. The reality is that supply and demand is the regulator of price and value, they exist together, not separately, leaving subjective value as the only thing that can give value to anything.

>>547281
How scarce something is doesn't still determine its production process, galaxy brain

>>546285
Big bill Haywood already defeated this meme

>>546262
>gold is scarce
not in this universe, it would just take a lot of labor power to get to it
