    the coming recession is gonna be nuts, a few months ago i said it wasn't gonna be as bad as 08 w/o a full tech crash, i think i'm changing my prediction. still doubt theres gonna be a full tech burst but the tech & finance crash is coming alongside the wider recession. not gonna be pretty

    Curious as to why you’ve changed opinion. Not that I disagree, just not as well versed in economic thought as you are

    mixture of inside knowledge from the industry and then just the extrapolation of how much of the rest of the economy is interwoven with finance & tech. while tech is the one who will be perceived as "bursting" or "crashing", the reality is that it's actually the finance sector taking the brunt & tech has largely been a mask/front for that sector. things are not looking good in tech and finance people are very very scared, and this is exacerbated by how bad the global situation is otherwise economically

    BIG BOOTY TWERKING

    "Now we all know she has no ass. She knows she has no ass. But she's still twerking. And we have to pretend there's something moving. Your kids are commenting "she got cake" as you're watching this right now. Where is the cake? Not on our women thats for sure. Why are chinese women suddenly caked up? What's really going on?"

    found it interesting that Neitczhe attacks on socialism comes from his readings on Duhring and theres no evidence of him ever reading Marx or Engels

    The term revisionism is so overused

    If it's not going against the core ideas of historical and dialectical materialism I don't think it's worth denouncing something as revisionist most of the time

    You can have a disagreement with another Marxist without that person being a revisionist

    revisionism is when you personally dislike someone

    the more you personally dislike someone the more revisionist they are

    crazy that if Stirner hadn't made Marx & Engels seethe so hard they polemicized him he'd probably have been a footnote of history without much attention but he's remained popular solely through having forced his attachment to them and their relevancy

    most people in the industry knew it wasn't forever sustainable but everyone also knew it was so widespread as "the" definitive way to make and/or stash money that it got out of control. you def have people who legitimately were just dumb and played along or thought it was the "new paradigm" too, the issue is it was so ubiquitous and inescapable that the large sector of the industry which just was not real eventually outpaced the "real" value of the sector, which in turn inflated the rest of the industry (and the wider economy). The mass overvaluation and fake money of said sector is going to correct, and the correction from mass overvaluation to "real" value is going to look like a massive depression/crash to everyone who isn't aware that value never really existed to begin with.

    Thats pure facts

    Biggest red pill I took over the last few years was the fact that yes, deindustrialisation is bad and you don't have to be a reactionary boomer to believe so

    Manufacturing has certain qualities for growth that other sectors cannot match. Obviously you can't sustain an economy driven by men in boiler suits and flat caps whacking steel, but a diminished share of the population employed in manufacturing isn't good news.

    As you say, it's an economy based not on real value and actual things of value (pardon me sounding like a cretin I'm not an expert). You end up with flagrant financialisation and a bullshkt economy at the mercy of financial and currency flows, the latter issue way moreso than before

    A growing service sector is all good bit the fact less people are employed leads to distorted growth concentrated in select areas at the expense of broader process. It's actuak things that make our lives better not just trading on the perceived value of things

    Aware this sounds silly and juvenile so if you'll let me, I'll link some studies and articles later that better get my meaning scross
