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.

This has been going on for a while:

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.

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.

thelazy.org agrees!

that doesn‘t make any sense

Hey Reddit, maybe somebody wants to actually read the article:

good

And that‘s what‘s happening world wide. There are no answers to the huge challenges in front of us. The only choices offered are the establishment that brought us here or a crazy caricature of essentially the same thing.

Thanks! Nice to reminisce.

Haha, what’s this from again?

Cool! I‘d also see it as a compliment. That‘s why I was surprised that a fellow luddite would interpret it differently. Alas, it was just this little word that made us stumble. But yeah, the Luddites knew that machines weren‘t evil. But that they would be used to generate more profit and not to lessen their toil

As someone else mentioned, use this shortcut that uses ashell and yt-dlp. It‘s pretty neat: https://routinehub.co/shortcut/7284/
