>>11623theyre probably poisoned by protestant propaganda
>>11626exactly
>>11616True. Despite how the U.S. Founding Fathers hated Puritanism and religion in general, they didn’t purge the Puritan culture and influence in American society where it still affects progress to this day.
The founding fathers resembled those annoying dumb 12 year old lolbert atheists you see on Facebook. Most of them remind me of a libertarian version of Amazing Atheist.
>>11628Americas Founding Fathers were old money plantion heirs.
Their dads probably laughed at working class whites outisde of Virginia.
They had slaves licking their white soles.
>>11661I think what’s more concerning is this set of cases
Where did that organization get the funds to do this in public, also consistently?
Where did that organization get that many children from all in once place along with its employees?
How long has this even been here?
>>11674I fucking hâte how parkings with shelters are so protected and are hardly anywhere to be seen.
Every time you park under one at some random apartment complex, the landlord kulaks get fucking triggered. I become hesitant to visit my friends to have apartment complexes like these because of the parking paranoia.
>>11688I wanna make a joke but I won’t. Not all, actually most employers don’t do this because they’re people, not walking steretypes only concerned with money. The demographic that promote this type of mentality or wish to promote it among job seekers and discouraged workers is comprised of wealthy reactionaries. Here they really only do this to install the idea that employers do not have to hold themselves to any standard and any unemployment that’s fueled by the hiring practices of these people shouldn’t be considered as a factor for why they may struggle to find anyone willing to work for them. To me maybe the mentality around this stems from the observation that there are more employers in North America than there are workers, which is true, but from what I can guess this demographic of reactionaries are also oblivious to the reality that bad hiring practices, migrants that take enter new markets who increase the supply of reserve labour, profit incentive, companies struggling to even survive, mass layoffs, and car dependency all work together to fuel mass unemployment, especially among youth that don’t have as many opportunities as their parents to gain any experience, thus job opportunities in a lot of fields without a degree in something.
>>11706Yeah but they typically aren’t this on the nose. Seriously the two images I posted were real suburbs in my city and I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you
STRAIGHT UP CANT SEE ANY INFRASTRUCTURE
Outside of suburban homes in their entire neighborhood if you’re in it. And someone was responsible for designing this place. That’s fucked up, like imagine being fully aware of the kind of place you just imagined and considering to go through with an idea like this??? And millions in the USA did without question, or openly celebrated this kind of borderline cage like living
>>11705>>11708Yep. Alot of the gouses look the same you easily get lost.
And alot of them have no sidewalks.
Its no wonder why social dynamics in America are so rigid. Its no wonder why young people there are infantilised. The fact that America is promoting this to the rest of the wrld as normal is disheartening. Alot of postmodern second/third worlders think that American styled suburbia is the way to go, even adopting the prudish overprotective parenting styles.
Most kids especially neurodivergent dont get to have a social life outisde of school and home.
>>11705Spent a chunk of my childhood growing up in an immigrant family moving between suburban small towns in the West
All of the kids there were extremely ignorant and kind of just offputting
They saw it as weird that I knew what places on the map were or had any kind of knowledge or curiosity about the world as a whole
I befriended one of them for a while then learned that he actually was born in and lived in that place his whole life up to that point which just bewildered me
No wonder these people end up such a mess
>>11705> they’re always placed in the middle of what feels like no wherein the midwest this is the case, but in the coastal areas they're quite embedded into the urban landscape. especially florida, which is so flat, and, due to its limestone caverns and sinkholes, so bad for skyscrapers, that most of the state is 1 story buildings, and you'll have suburbs 1 block from the mechanic, grocery store, workplace, etc. People in FL are mostly renters, whether they live in a house, apartment, or trailer.
>>11725Also
>this uploader has made this video unavailable in your countryFucking worse than dystopian
>>11748Mine did.
Adults dismiss the comparison of school to prison, even laughing it off as disgruntked kids.
Yet adults compare work to hell, exaggerating it and are applauded.
Work is more autonomous than school.
Most people are just dumbed down by the postmodern culture of suburban childhood
>>11760 (me)
This is in the burgerpunk thread because it's something I've noticed around fat boomers in burgerland.
>>11758Nothing will happen, when projects were ripped apart by capitalists, cultural cracks were exploited things like religion, ethnicity, race etc were used to divide people. This can’t really be done in US because people there identify with the cultural identity, there just aren’t that strong of cracks to really mean anything. At least this is what I as an outsider observe,
could any resident burgers please inform if there is a possibility for succesfull secession?
Was Fahrenheit 451 the Ur-Burgerpunk novel? I think this can get obscured by the fact a lot of people view it as essentially the "books good, television bad" they had to read in school, and at least my teachers were totally in line with the "books good, TV bad" interpretation. BUT it was written by an American and I would argue that it's much more of a satire of American society than purely about books being good and TV being bad.
>Everyone portrayed in the novel lives in seemingly idyllic suburban housing
>However, it's pretty clear that everyone is secretly miserable behind the utopian veneer, with the arc words being "Are you happy?"
>The protagonist is in a marriage so loveless, he and his wife have gotten separate beds, and his wife spends most of her day in a wall covered by giant TV screens while blasted on sedatives
>In fact, spending all day listlessly watching mind numbing programming on giant television screens while xanned out on various sedatives is the overwhelmingly most popular past time
>Those who don't do this are often driven by irrational violent urges. A popular pastimes of the youth is now apparently murdering random people by hitting them with their cars, while the protagonist's wife likes to go on car rides through the forest and countryside when she's not in the TV room. Not, mind you, to get a breath of fresh air or see nature, but in the hopes that she'll run over woodland creatures. The firemen themselves like to release various critters into their firehouses just to watch the mechanical Hounds brutally murder them.
>There's mentions of the education system completely failing and collapsing
>The whole ban on all books thing is less an effort at censorship (though there's some of that too) as much as it is about trying to keep people from thinking too much. For instance, the Bible is banned. It isn't banned because Christianity is banned, Christianity is more popular than ever. It's just that now people get their religion from directly from "Jesus," a dude in a costume on the television who will often pause his vapid sermons to hawk consumer products to his viewers.
>There's constant talk of military buildup and rising tensions with some foreign power, while military planes constantly fly overhead. Not that anyone notices, sedated in their TV rooms, and they all happily believe the television reports that the engagement with the foreign power will be a total route. [spoiler]The novel ends with the total destruction of society by nuclear bombs, the population having passively slept their way into Armageddon.[/spoiler]

>>11839Basically boomers believe that scifi technology is real and there are these star trek style beds you can lay in that will cure any disease and possibly reverse aging too, and they are being hidden by the elite, but then they also somehow believe that they will become public knowledge any day now and people are buying access to them like in
>>11830It's honestly pretty sad if you think about it, boomers have been so destroyed by anti-vax, diabetus, cancer, brain degeneration etc etc that they're just waiting for magical technology to come out just in time to save them so that their life of endless cruises never has to end
Part of me feels sorry for them and part of me is relishing them all dying painfully
>>11841>>11842Yes I believe it was probably inspired by that though it's not really a new idea anyway. These people watch videos like this and somehow believe it's real because they have lost the ability to distinguish fantasy and reality

In the video, Mecham can be seen leaving a home in Southeast Portland. He commits various traffic infractions including speeding and running several red lights while driving through Southeast Portland toward downtown. Mecham becomes increasingly frustrated by heavy traffic, while headed westbound on Interstate 84.>“I’m on my way to the f***ing Rose Garden!” Mecham said. During the same call, Mecham suggested he planned to meet his mother and the caller. It is not clear where Mecham was headed or why. The only major event at or near the Moda Center, formerly known as the Rose Quarter in North Portland, on the morning of June 10 was the Grand Floral parade.>Mecham became enraged while on the I-84 ramp toward northbound I-5. ODOT crews had blocked off numerous exits with dump trucks, signs and barricades to help keep traffic away from the parade route.>The video then showed Mecham swerving around a car and drive through a row of cones blocking off the exit at Broadway-Weidler Street in North Portland. He raced past a reader board flashing "Event in Progress” and drove up onto the ivy covered shoulder to avoid ODOT dump trucks blocking the exit ramp.>Mecham drove around another ODOT crew and their vehicles before turning onto Weidler Street. He came within a few feet of several people waiting for the parade, including several small children playing in the closed roadway>An unmarked police SUV attempted to stop Mecham at a red light in Portland’s Lloyd District, but he drove off. The video showed Mecham continuing to drive for several blocks, until he eventually stopped near other officers at Northeast 24th Avenue and Clackamas Street. Mecham was arrested and taken to jail. He was driving on a suspended license and didn’t have insurance, police report. >Mecham is currently being held in the Multnomah County Inverness Jail. No trial date has been set for charges related to the alleged road rage incident in June. >>11865Protestantism has done more damage to Christian repute than Catholicism.
People often whine about the Catholic church becuase of the altar boy abuse and the crusades but Protestant churches are much worse.
Protestants take over entire towns and feud with fellow churches.
Protestants are antagonistic towards science amd new cultural trends.

>>11904 is right and Elon's space shit is just a money hole for people to move their money around with/get scammed by Elon cuz I feel like if he seriously tries space missions people are going to die horrifically.
>>11904I was hearing this VC talk about how space is the magic words you need to sell any startup. You have to explain whatever your business is, is just a stepping stone to space stuff. Like there was this motorcycle suit company and their whole pitch is that the motorcycle suits are just a building block to make space suits for Mars. Because none of the VCs want to invest in an Earth focused company with no plans for space based growth.
Lol. Musk is going to surely be dead before a human steps foot on Mars. I guess he's already cemented himself in the annuls of history and will be remembered as one of the greats by the federation.
I hate sci-fi nerds.
>>11906Pretty much
A lot of speculators are also just old clueless guys who think anything high tech will deliver on its promises. In any case musk is an "ideas guy" who just draws up concepts then hires engineers after the fact, like steve jobs.
Thunderf00t has obviously done a good job on debunking his entrepeneurial futurism with basic science.
>>11910Absolutely
Its a very reddit thing to be obsessed with space and le "small blue marble" and all this covert nihilism in order to de-politicise science. Thats why all this stuff explodes with pop science in the fukuyamaist period of the fall of the USSR.
When people literally say "i believe in science" you can read through the lines if you have common sense and history on your side.
>>11910>>11911To keep debunking space shit is so pointless. But besides all the practical considerations that make it pointless. Even assuming we have entire suspension of disbelief. The only way to sell space is to invent a need which doesn't exist in the first place.

>‘There won’t be enough people for Mars’: Elon Musk warns about population collapse. See postsWe don't even need a habitat for a trillion people. It's just insanity. Besides the fact it's an impossible fantasy: THERE IS NO DEMAND AT ALL.
>>11912 me
I've thought about this issue a lot because I've considered writing Sci-Fi shit and wanted to do realism, but the more I research it, the more insane it is. What the fuck are these trillion people going to be doing? To reach these levels of sci-fi fantasy we will have to have greater and greater technology, greater and greater productivity. Like I can't even conceptualize it. We already see even at our current technological level birth rates plummet to below replacement level. So even assuming people magically want to start having replacement level birth rates, living in a super technological society, like what the fuck are they going to be doing? There will be no need for all these fucking people.
The Bezos fantasy is the most disgusting. He imagines people will accept living in shit space stations and the Earth will become a giant planetary nature preserve. Like why tho? Why can't we just perfect life on this planet and just live on the good sphere? Why the trillion? Why ever increasing "energy intensity?"
>>11904It isn’t. There is still a multi-trillion dollar industry in space. This includes communication, espionage, weather monitoring and warfare.
It will only get bigger as launch vehicles get cheaper.
>>11705Hey, at least some of the kids who grew up there made some pretty good emo/sad music. They also became drug addicts or killed themselves but hey.
I also had this thought that growing up in the suburbs and then ending up in Iraq is the same settis as growing up in some village in the russian empire and ending up in the trenches in WW1. Like you ain't even know what a "german" is up to that point, now you're getting machine gunned in the middle of europe.

>>11996This, basically
Occasionally they are really chill dudes that just want to be healthy and strong, but the hobby also sadly fosters the type of person that’s driven by their own body image issues.
Three years ago, on this very day, the Dementors, led by the Russo-Chinese puppet Donald Trump, stormed Hogwarts to prevent Joe Biden, our generation's FDR from becoming President. Fortunately, the police managed to beat back the deplorables. This election, Donald Dump will be back on the ballot. If he wins, his puppet masters, Vladimort Putler and Sheev Xitler will overthrow the liberal world order and end the New Peace that has brought prosperity to the entire world. Drumph is going to implement Project 2025, destroy our institutions and turn America into Literally Nazi Germany. He is going to dissolve NATO, help Putler against Ukraine, sell Taiwan to the CCP (ChiNazi Capitalist Party), allow Venezuela to take over Guyana and let Hamas and Iran take over Israel and drive the Jews into the sea. IF YOU BERNIE BRO MISOGYNISTS AND TEENAGE TANKIES DON'T CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE AND VOTE BLUE IN 2024, THIS IS LITERALLY GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

Small business tyrants with the power of AI. I haven't even heard of a union that's demanding consideration for their members comparable with the consideration demanded by the writers guild.

And you're basically replacing one set of spooks with another, it won't make the workers independent and self-reliant and you won't get past the stage of state capitalism.
With that said, the Blanquists get too much flack for being elitists, I think to some extent they are right. That doesn't necessarily make me a Blanquist though but rather an anarcho-Blanquist or rather an aristocratic anarchist.

You can see this today too. With religious reactionaries, the most popular ones are the ones who combined religion with demands for social justice, rant against corruption and discrimination, basically anti capitalism. Because surprisingly most people don't want to die in masse just because some abstract talking points about which outgroup is an infidel or not.

>>12106>Every conspiracy theorist loves to talk about everyone else is dumbed down except them.Yet they bepieve the same shit as everyone else.
thats cuz the actual value of conspiracy type beliefs isn't explanatory power but acting as a psychological comfort and ego inflation mechanism for the user. They get cast themselves as the "last free-thinker" or some other dumbass protagonist in a world full of NPCs and Sheeple who could never live up to be smart and special as they are. I shit you not I've literally made these kind of people angry when I point out everyone else on the street has as much depth and personality as they do and NPCs aren't real.

It's the funniest fucking thing ever. It was literally Trump's vaccine. i let med staff take it first because I wasn't sure if they rushed some unsafe shit.

https://wonderfulengineering.com/an-f-35b-accidentally-shot-itself-with-a-gatling-gun/>March didn’t start well for the U.S air force when a much costly air incident took place. F-35B stealth, the most expensive fighter jet ever built to date, accidentally shot itself while flying over Arizona’s skies. >A single unit of an F-35B costs around $135.8 million, so at first, an aircraft’s accident doesn’t sound appealing at all. The aircraft had an externally mounted Gatling gun discharge a 25mm armor cutting explosive round into itself, leaving the aircraft with damage of approximately $2.5 million, as confirmed by the military officials. >The Marine Corps’ F-35B carries the GAU-22 differently differently than the Air Force’s -A version. Unlike the -A aircraft, which mounts the GAU-22 inside the aircraft at the base of the left side wing root, the -B mounts the gun in a separate gun pod mounted to the airplane’s belly. This design change was due to a weight issue caused by the need to make the -B version capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The Marines can leave the gun off the aircraft to reduce weight when necessary. >The F-35B stealth aircraft was performing a nigh time air support mission, while during its flight, the aircraft exploded a round of fire in a self-attack scenario. Fortunately, the pilot managed to land the super-costly aircraft to the ground, but the damage done isn’t at low either.>It was a Class-A accident, as termed by the officials, directing towards a minimum of $2.5 million of loss or the aircraft’s complete inability to make it to the skies ever again.>>12141gemmy gem gem SIR

>>12180>shrinking cities>lots of childrenif i didn't fail my economics studies, i'd say these two are hard to keep at the same time, having a lot of children for each parent's, above four or five, means the need for these children to work in the future, and since cities have to stay shrinking they cannot immigrate to the city to work, so they'll have to find a profession as farmers or make a business in a small community, which is hard to keep small if many people are having children and by time the community will turn into a city of it's own to accomodate the population growth, but cities are bad and must stay shrinking, the best course would be to make the children of each parent spread out as much as possible when they grow up so as to not create a centre where so many people live, aka a city
