new to this website, will prob update this later
The point is to target the owner-caste.
A lot of those are just millionaires or ten millionaires… or hundred thousandaires… I think the way to do this is to build/implement a new model of business and housing ownership, where it is democratically co-owned, co-run, co-managed… instead of everything being owned by capitalist proprietors/workplace dicatators/real estate investors
Ownership itself has to be democratized not just try to funnel money back down
allow anyone to make up to $999,999,999 after-tax
way too much
this highlights EXACTLY one of the problems with “billionaires” discourse, in fact
Wealth cap is a great idea, but suffers from the same issue as “tax the rich,” in that how do you do either of those things when the ultrawealthy are the ones in political power? they generally aint gonna cap or tax themselves
is probably not critical at all, from my perspective.
So you are just gonna say that what i said is “probably” not a critical thought? That doesn’t sound like a very critical thought, itself!
You made a statement that critical thinking doesn’t mean anything, but more likely you just are unfamiliar with it.
No, it’s real U.S. political history. You’re the gullible one calling this “russian propaganda”.
I don’t think it’s a matter of listening, even. The Democrats are fundamentally, structurally incapable of offering the public “what they want,” not to mention conjuring up an authentic figurehead for it.
I’m not going to force people to do that, the point is not to force it and you can’t “force it” anyways
I’m not going to make sure they learn it, you can’t “make sure”
I can only judge from my own / our own analysis. You can make up a quantitative metric “critical thinking score” but you would only be fooling yourself.
Kamala Harris “was absolutely uninspiring” and “appointed by the DNC” and “was fine with genocide” and “was a continuation of the ruling class that everyone hates, and couldn’t fake not being that”
Everyone on reddit is so pedanticly confrontational, to make it worse, most people like that are just really confidently wrong and therefore it’s an insufferable place. This also pretty much goes for all of mainstream media. Everyone has a shitty fucking opinion about basically everything now, and will fight you over everything no matter how big or small
Poisoned ass society and this seems to be a tad of an enclave
No, that’s not what I said. I said in order to answer your question to me, you’d have to delve in to these disciplines. Although sure, for people to get better at critical thinking, of course it would help to actually… learn to think and have intellectual pursuits.
And it’s nothing to do with a degree. It’s the deep study time and focused effort that counts.
All these comments, and no one is talking about the hot rod computer in the photo?
In what ways are you doing better? Of course can make some good guesses, but want to hear more specifically
You want me to give you some objective “measure” like “inches” about most people’s critical thinking skills? If you really want a thorough analysis I’m sure you could delve into the social sciences, philosophy, humanities … history, sociology, psychology, anthropology etc., but that may not please you if you want it purely quantified.
Counterpoint: Critical thinking and empathy are important, and a lot of people don’t have much / aren’t very good at it
What happened to “We the people”?
Words on a paper.
Yes it’s rare but it exists and I think that was the point of OP, looking for a way to break into it somehow
