Story time, so a replacement mobo compatible with my now prior-gen parts was ~$200 + long shipping time. 

Out of frustration, my initial reaction was “ugh this planned obsolescence stuff is such a scam” but in reality, i treated my computer like crap, often 300 tabs open and left it on for weeks at a time.

I ended up getting a new PC since faster shipping, future-proof, and not that much more expensive. Turning an annoying expense into a fun investment 😃

The fact that you can get nvidia 1080s for like $150 8 years after they were gold standard $900 is a prime example of why the tech industry is goated. With $1100 you can build you a pretty good PC that dookies on the 1080. 

This experience helped me better understand the irrational thought patterns that attract NYC midwits to Marxism. “Ahh everything is moving so fast, i cant keep up! Let’s just slow things down and make sure everyone has an equal share of today’s assets, instead of letting tomorrow’s peasants live like today’s kings.

The marxist mind cannot comprehend how the incentive to deliver the marginal improvent or cost reduction has virtually eliminated abject poverty in the west. They are too busy shitting bricks over Bezos’ net worth to get excited that inaccessible frontier tech will be widely available in a few years, even for unskilled labor like themselves.

Congratulations to midwitville, USA on your new mayor, you must be very proud to be American! Ty for coming to my ted talk don’t tread on me 🐍

Gotta love the chronically online new age degen capitalist who thinks Marxism is decelerationism.

God I wish mamdani was as far left as they make him seem lmfao

Lmfao not Marxism 

Please sir prove Marxism 

His free grocery store idea is litterally peak Nordic SocDem hours 

Please define Marxism

I mean there's a lot to say but my main problem isn't this specifically. I don't expect people to find nuances between marxists and social democrats etc. These guys call Hillary Clinton marxist lmao

But my man says marxism is decelerationism in his original post. That's the wild part lol

You see, the reason why Marxism is so stupid is bc it assumes you can re-wire the human mind to that of worker ants if you ask nicely. 

Although historically, is always seems to be asked violently 🤨

marxism is an ideology, dem socialism is a policy that sits in the kiddie pool of marxism. while some of hillary's policies have a little bit of a marxist twang, i dont think hilary, or establishment D's or R's for that matter, have any overarching ideology they believe in. they are in politics for sport and self enrichment. 

but yes, marxism is decelerationist by nature. there is no incentive to deliver the marginal improvement when the cost and value of labor is determined by the group.

Advancement and distribution are completely orthogonal subjects.

Collective determination of labor value means incentives are aligned towards collective goals instead of individual goals which are often not aligned to "progress" (see planned obsolescence, see corporatization).

By definition, marxist workplace has democratic feedback mechanisms, better progress definition (progress ≠ thing that'll make the executive a million $ quarterly bonus), and better incentive alignment for everyone.

Also, read Marx. It's not just that he praises tech advancement (he does), but tech progress is literally part of the prerequisites for communist revolution.
