Star Trek is post scarcity. It is more evolved than your politics.

That’s certainly an unpopular opinion. You have three opinions that can manifest in terms of an ideal society that can cover the needs here.

One is where all the needs are provided by the state aka directed communism which is the exact system that typically immediately fails (USSR and CCP tried it) and leads to famine. Almost everyone is against this outcome and system.

The second is referring back to bartering which is arguably not more civilized by definition.

The third is a post scarcity world which is not currently the case. Even Star Trek had currency for things beyond their needs. Very few people think we are in a post scarcity world currently.

There is a fourth which is typically held by anarchists which requires people to give up power at even a local level and prejudice to magically disappear so also not a popular opinion in terms of people that think it is possible.

There’s also the high level narrative that this must overcome in which people are entitled to the value of their labor. This assures that this is not possible.

There’s a lot of discussion to be had here but congrats on finding an opinion that is truly unpopular.

The propaganda is strong against the Western system. There is an argument to be made that the origins of this conflict are in energy finds in the Black Sea. Ukraine is uniquely positioned to take advantage of access to the European and Asian markets. Competition in these sections would threaten oligarch monopolies. These energy monopolies are granted to the oligarchs by Putin himself and this is the entire basis of power in the Russian Federation.

This is simultaneously the reason for the conflict and why the oligarchs have been lock step the entire way.

It’s this capitalism? Absolutely not.

Is it economic power? Absolutely so.

Americans ultimately do pay a lot of taxes in the end. It does towards all sorts of stuff at multiple levels but the greatest impact on individual lives is at the state level.

CGP Grey didn’t cover primaries.

Are any of these debates really debates?

Yeah, I think that’s dumb but debates aren’t inherently required for elections.

The sound troubleshooter will fix the issue sometimes if it is a driver or weird input issue.

It’s why we have primaries. People’s inability to understand the importance of primaries simultaneously means they don’t vote in them and hate the results. (On average)

You are welcome to blame colonial powers for setting up this situation from the remains of the Ottoman Empire but it is also worth going into why Israelis have been driven out of the rest of the world into Israel and the multiple wars conducted against them by powers claiming they have no right to exist. Those same claims are continued by Hamas and Iran and used to justify starting this current war. The same borders that instituted Israel also initially instituted Palestine until they conducted a war against them. That war was what caused these borders at question with the refugee camp.

It absolutely is worth looking into the history behind it.

Your comment does not address the fact that the above was disinformation. Not misinformation, but disinformation as it is intentionally misleading.

The refuge camp you refer to was created in 1948. It no longer functions as a refugee camp. You are a disinformer.

Just because it originated in the aristocracy does not mean that we cannot have nice things now.

His video on it should be required viewing for everyone. https://youtu.be/N9XMTdRwWVg?si=pBP3D3lAgUmeN1ln

I found it too be exactly the opposite. Everyone in DC is doing interesting things. There is a lot of passion and hard work as well. They mostly shy away from direct politics in a town that is incredibly political by its very nature. I’ve been helped on the street more by average people than I ever was around Atlanta, New Orleans, or the spaces between.

What would you when you get in this undefined yet not capitalist utopia and are forced to work long hours at a job you didn’t choose to help further the cause of the revolution?

Chipmunks and Avett Brothers, a playlist only rose colored glasses can help with.

I thought my significant other was one of these to a certain extent. It does weird things to me as a DJ. Turns out that she just likes the limited music that she likes and cannot stand most everything else.

Maybe, and I really do mean maybe someone has a record somewhere that you have a child. That doesn’t mean it is shared with the IRS.

It’s not idealism. If you have a better solution that is not radical by design, go ahead. I was literally not specific intentionally. Go ahead, what instrument within the current system would work that are not regulations?

The more you attempt to shift to revolution, the more you counteract real meaningful change. There are market solutions to this problem and it’s called government regulation.

Successful revolution and war will not help global warming. Failure will result in a massive social shift against these ends.
