I can only confidently guarantee that the prostitute you end up making tender love to (lol) will shower longer than she usually does after your 5 shameful minutes of disappointing her
Tesla's are kick-starting the global shift away from petroleum cars.
Tesla's only entry-level car that they're actually delivering cost 50 thousand dollars. You've fallen for the same scam behind free trade kale and similar bullshit. You, a fucking idiot, really think that a car that costs almost as much as an E-Class Merc is doing anything other than lining the pockets of a hairplugged african fuck?
No, not at all - maybe a classic corvette, but certainly not a new one, because those things are ugly and made of plastic.
If I had $60k to spend on a brand new car I would probably buy a BMW or a Mercedes. But definitely not a Tesla - aka the car with a gigantic iPad in the dashboard.
I'm pretty sure that every socialist is an accelerationist in their heart of hearts (if not openly). It was quite obvious the last time we had a donation drive for Against Malaria Foundation, the reeeing in the tankie subs was unequivocal: better for the little negroes to die than to grow up being content with the System so everyone who buys them mosquito nets is an immoral oppressor actually. I'm not even exaggerating much.
Wasn't nothing scam about it, in fact it's one of the few charitable organizations that actually try to measure how much good they do with your money and maximize that value.
so that you could claim the moral high ground in internet arguments.
That was one of the goals, yes. It's called "virtue signaling": when you do something very virtuous, besides directly improving the world and the enjoyment you got out of it, you also get to tell useless assholes who only pretend to be virtuous to get off their fake high horses.
Also you identify as a neo-liberal.
Radical centrist, actually. /r/neoliberal went to shit so I no longer want to share any kind of label with them.
It's when you realize that people both on the right and on the left of you are not merely having differing opinions, they are fucking insane.
They don't even operate using the "if we do this then we get that outcome, and that's good because", about which you could discuss whether it would really happen or whether that outcome is really good. They don't think that way at all, they talk in bullshit cliches with the only purpose to score debate points for their team because they believe that the only thing wrong with the world is that it's not their team currently (or not "really") in power.
I'm not ashamed of not having a label to conform to.
You probably are all about how nonconformism is so cool man, and yet you're so fucked in the head with the desire to conform that you try to shame me for not conforming and you honestly expect me to feel bad.
LOL. Shut the fuck up until you grow up, child. You can't force yourself to grow up faster than it happens naturally, give or take, so just shut the fuck up. Or at least make sure that your current reddit account could never be linked to your future grown up identity.
The guy is talking about the stupid ass malaria net charity thing, I’m not projecting that mr radical centrist is just a neolib poster that doesn’t like labels.
I'm a radical center-leftist, so not quite what you're looking for, but I'll break my stance down:
Capitalism, understood to mean hierarchical, centralized systems of production, is necessary for organizing mass economic efforts because of the collective action problem and the fact that most people need someone smarter telling them what to do.
State capitalism as practiced in Singapore and China and the FDR-era US is preferable to laissez-faire capitalism in the long run, because when capitalists compete freely amongst themselves there's a tendency towards instability, hoarding, and shortsightedness. The state's authority stabilizes the system.
Capitalism inherently seems exploitative because it sets some people up in positions of authority. Therefore, it's necessary to set up a welfare state to give the proles enough free goodies to make the risks of revolution seem not worthwhile.
Hey /u/just_an_ordinary_guy aerospace engineers can get any fucking job they want. The reason they work in spaceX and not some cushy government contact, believe it or not, isn't because they are unable to find a job elsewhere you twit. It's because you actually want to do something with their lives instead of whining on retarded subreddits all day.
Also boohoo, cry me a fucking river for people earning 200.000/year instead of 300.000/year. My heart truly breaks for them.
lol seriously, do they think the people working at spacex are wage slaves toiling away in the Musk mines whose kids will starve if they decide to get a new job? Probably tru in communism tho so I understand why they think that.
boohoo, this job i applied for and work with my own consent is hard. i'll bitch and moan about it on the internet for the next five years until i quit and can write my own ticket to anywhere.
Look at that building. The concrete is crying out for mercy due to the non-compression loads those stupid overhangs cause. Yes, they reinforce it with steel, making it more expensive to compensate for the unnatural design, but it still makes me feel uneasy.
Brutalism is all about governments (or universities) spending MORE money than they need to, just to make a building look extra shitty, because they hope no-one will think that they're wasting lots of tax dollars if they make it look like a pile of shit. Oh wait, now I know why socialists like it - it leads to needless, inefficient, ugly government busywork.
Love it? I thought that was a sarcastic link, and two of the pictures on the front page are from fucking Blade Runner. The replies are whining about how suburbs are the worst tragedy inflicted on mankind and deepthroating some garbage TED talk.
Brutalism is a beautiful form of architecture that aimed to make concrete the single material in construction, reducing costs and creating timeless works of practical art.
Sure, it was socialist countries that lead the steed, but it was widely adopted by a lot of different social and political ideologies.
It's not my fault you can't appreciate it, you bussy smuggler.
Brutalism is a beautiful form of architecture that aimed to make concrete the single material in construction
Concrete can't stand tension (e.g. overhanging lego-style block bullshit), it's effectively a steel frame with a concrete facade.
reducing costs
If you want to reduce costs, get the engineers to design it, not architects on an ego trip.
creating timeless works of practical art
This is subjective. But if you want to claim brutalism is 'honest concrete' or 'cost effective' then I'd imagine you'd often be a little misled. There's a reason why only governments seem to be able to afford brutalist buildings.
It's not just ugly, it looks fucking tyrannical. I hate referring to the most over-referenced novel of all time, but it reminds me of George Orwell's description of MiniLuv in 1984.
Really doesn't help to be posting fake images like this, people will absolutely think this is real. It's not real. Dangerous precedent to set here people.
Like when Stalin doctored images to remove people or make him and Lenin look like they’re hanging out. Never trust a leftist.

Side note how retarded is it that people say the R word now like it's as bad as nigger.
Where do you sit on the spectrum?
Who are you behind the casually insulting, seemingly middle class guy?
Also stop projecting what you'd like other people to be and arguing with that, it's is a boring tactic.

Socialists already fetishize the humanoid Darkspawn known as "coal miners," so they don't really give a rat's ass about the planet.

Of course they obsess over the working poor that literally die from literally inhaling carbon instead of the actual poor.

It's because of some big, messy, armed labor brouhaha that happened back in Tennessee in the 1920s. Honestly, fuck coal miners.
