The myriad positive-sum games in SV are a serious threat to true communist ideology, which can only thrive with the assumption that people en masse are too weak, too stupid, or too evil to improve their own circumstances & the lives of others through consensual collaboration

I keep thinking back to that same tweet... I guess their rush to declare *voluntary* agreements that lead to *positive-sum* outcomes as "slavery" makes sense when you consider what it would take to make their preferred system appear noble by comparison.

that comparison to slavery reminds me of this cartmanesque logic lmao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzJ9CcQ8nX0 … anything other than free school is slavery it seems but this made me think of where lambda doesn't work. it works best for vocational education, rest, its hard in its current form

Me: "Taxes are like slavery." Prog: "Wow, u are basically a racist. How could you demean the trauma of POC. Tax is price of society. Don't you like roads?" Also Prog: "Voluntary education financing scheme is slavery! Wages are slavery! I'm very thoughtful and compassionate!"
