I think this is a logical folly that demonstrates how warped our view of reality has become. Because it seems we would rather change time than simply change our working hours. It‘s a little bit conspicuous that this is never being considered in a discussion that happens all over the world.

Great non-ideological analysis.

Would you drive less, if it was inconvenient to you but for the greater good of society? If the decision would be really up to you.

This has been going on for a while:

So you‘re saying Coy‘s analysis so precisely defines capitalism it amounts to calling for its abolishment and therefore contradicts the Times‘ official stance?

You don‘t seem to understand that the concept you are thinking of was the status quo and has failed.

It‘s pretty disgusting how dumb they think the public is. On the other hand reading the responses of the public to this lie…they might be on to something.

True

also looking at those countries we can see it isn’t a permanent fix though. Capitalists don’t stop fighting and will be successful in the long run

Also, it didn’t work out so well

A democratic state allows its citizens to pursue their private interests. This is only possible though if this is happening in a legal framework, so that the private interests of one citizen don‘t infringe upon the ones of another. The outcome of this consideration then is the abstraction (the specific applied to the universal) of the free will of the citizens. We call it freedom and justice. Others call it the free market.

that‘s a bunch of false equivalences

At first you got to have a good analysis of how society and the economy works. Unfortunately this already is a tricky thing, because not everybody agrees.

yes, I also don‘t believe in the nation‘s interest, yet it somehow pretty brutally exists. Something‘s got to grow, somethings got to give.

I think you are on the right track with your ideals of the world, but I also guess you kinda know that this is not how states operate. Of course there are different types of states, but if you think of democracies, they are also not service providers to their citizens. On the contrary. Democratic states are the abstraction of all the private interests of their citizens. This is what they protect and advance. What arises out of that is that occasionally these interests will suggest a war is what the nation desires.

How is it even possible. We‘ve been killing them forever, and never seen a baby shark?

thelazy.org agrees!

that doesn‘t make any sense
