Social Justice Thread

[Tharan]

The western world has become a service based economy and has become too reliant on Asia now for our products we need to move some aspects on manufacturing back to the West.

Having free higher education means more people will have degrees which will mean that the value of a degree is reduced (as seen in the US and the UK)

We need to encourage people to go into trades and to look at vocational qualification's.

If you think the Wealth of Nations is a bad book then.. You need to get your head out of Marx's ass.

like i said, book from 100+ years ago and using it as fact for anarcho-capitalist bullshit, completely ignoring evidence that contradicts their "beliefs." I'm not going to read an old ass book unless i have some sort of vested interest in it, otherwise i will have a very difficult time reading it and likely just put it down due to boredom. Modern articles/books are much much better.

Quite ignorant.

Never read marx either, it goes both ways. It's not that there is no valuable content within the books when surely there is. It's more that much of the content is rendered pointless as time went by and economics/communism (or whatever the subject) evolved to fit modern society better. It's also that i just really hate reading old books, especially old books on economics. Like seriously? You expect people to read a 200+ year old economics book...

you're legit fucking dumb

because people from 100-200 years ago hadn't figured out shit that is still completly relevant today due to how slowly humans evolve as creature and that our society totally isnt largely based on foundations laid during the enlightenment period

[Gluk the Walrus]

yeah sven, i agree with you. It's mostly that i don't care enough.

[fieldshire]

yeah sven, i agree with you. It's mostly that i don't care enough.

if you don't care enough then why are you on these threads?

[Gluk the Walrus]

because this is a thread about social justice and not economics...

[Nipplestockings]

Never read marx either

Yeah buddy, it really shows.

[Gluk the Walrus]

nipple i'm not a marxist/communist. I might read marx one day but right now i really just don't care enough.

[Nipplestockings]

You should just read books in general because they're good for you. From what you're saying it seems like you don't read much of anything at all, besides shitty teen fantasy novels maybe.

It seems like your opinions are based on a heavily calculated balance between being as radical as possible while still staying within those socially acceptable political boundaries that won't get you cursed out or lynched. Essentially you just look like an edgy child who wants to say profound shit in history class to look cool.

[Gluk the Walrus]

I'm just going to say this, most of what i read is historical in nature. My main interest is history and i want to be a history teacher. Politics is a secondary interest of mine and i simply do not care enough at the moment to read those books. I'm not saying never, i'm not saying people shouldn't read them, all i'm saying is that right now, i do not care.

[Tharan]

Gulk you make no sense

[Gluk the Walrus]

What is not making sense? At this moment in time, i don't feel like reading some old ass economics book, It's that simple. I dislike it when people say "read this book" as evidence to support their claims.
