That's pretty much why its the best show on TV. They're horrible people, they do horrible things, and in the end, they almost always get their comeuppances.I watched the first 3 seasons or so, and kind of fell away from watching it. Don't get me wrong it was often hilarious, but it's also one of those shows where you often just feel uncomfortable while watching it, because they're all such terrible people.
No one is misrepresenting you, the entire fucking 60s movement was born of the Frankfurt school's being moved to Columbia University after the Nazis shut them downI'm being misrepresented again it appears. I've said several times that all commodities are not bad, and a commodity and a tool are not equivalent.
and ps: a hippie is not the same thing as a communist, is not the same thing as a Marxist, is not the same thing as a critical theorist. To convolute them is also a misrepresentation.
You should care about die hard extremism, as they're the people who tend to work the hardest to make sure their world views get promoted above all others.I'm fully aware of what they are about, you didn't just introduce this phenomenon to me. I don't care about die hard extremism. That's not the only option you have if you ascribe to this notion of manufactured versus genuine experience.
Sure you can.Not to mention, you can't escape society and capitalism.
Nah, if no one will pick you up, you just walk until the police stop you (if you're on an interstate).. If a group of people truly live on an off the grid location growing their own food and being totally self sufficient or close to it, I would be impressed. But hitchhiking? Now you're a slave to the slave who is enslaved by his car
Best show on TV, really.So is Always Sunny a good show? I tried to watch the first episode and the characters annoyed me.
I meant in terms of this discussion and your insinuation that extremism is the only possible representation of Dumar's concepts. Not in general terms. More out of context absolutism.You should care about die hard extremism, as they're the people who tend to work the hardest to make sure their world views get promoted above all others.
No one's escaping to that, they were born into it. More extreme hyperbole.Sure you can.
Dumar is an extremist. He openly advocates for a person who called for violent revolution as a means to an end. That's as extreme as you can get.I meant in terms of this discussion and you're insinuation that extremism is the only possible representation of Dumar's concepts.

Actually most uncontacted tribes remain that way out of choice. Its not like they can't walk into the villages and settle down, they can, in fact some do. But mostly they just come in at night and steal things from modern society they desire like axes and metal pots and then run off back to the village.No one's escaping to that, they were born into it. More extreme hyperbole.
The entirehistory of Americais nothing but a history of violent revolution.who called for violent revolution as a means to an end.
Two wrongs fallacy.The entirehistory of Americais nothing but a history of violent revolution.
You don't just violently revolt: the society and the people of a society have to be ready. I'd use a reference of course, but you'd just label it extremist again. We're not ready, but we're beginning to see the limits of what capitalism can provide for us. And once those limits appear ever closer, that's when we'll see bigger and more grandiose wealth grabs by the wealthy (such as the synthetic market nonsense). Once society is primed by the evidence of its own structural failure, it will come.Two wrongs fallacy.

Sure, there's that too, but you had forgotten genocide.I thought the history of America was racism, prejudice, slavery, the destruction and oppression of entire cultures and people and the usurpation of their land for the benefit of whites.
Well, you know, the Native Americans committed genocide on every large animal on the continent, so they kinda had it coming. I mean, after all, they were destroying natural relationships to make commodities out of the flesh of living creatures.Sure, there's that too, but you had forgotten genocide.
Because extremist communist.why only looked the bad shit?
