Re: Structure, Power, & Agency

Pinky's been thinking a lot about class treason lately: What does it mean that we do so many things in our lives 'automatically'? What can we really do to make this world better? And what will we have to give up or risk in order to achieve it?

Just realized something. When you think of what it means to be priveleged, wouldn't one consider the fact that one managed to get a meal a privelege over the meal? After all, what you ate died, right? And if you're speaking of society, are you speaking of the society of the creatures you're a member of? If I kill mice to protect my home, am I anti mouse? My home is opulent compared to a cardboard box. Is there a 'correct' perspective?

@CrystalHunter1989 It'd be nice if a self sustaining farm left you time to afford such luxuries as writing books and playing guitar all day. I don't think you've thought through what work it would take to be truely self sustaining. I think we've lost sight of how much we truely benefit from such an advanced society as ours. A pencil, paper, and guitar don't qualify as 'bare necesities'. Water, food, shelter, and clothing, take a lot more effort than you think to sustain the existence of.

enjoyable to see your point of view, though i disagree most of it once you put it in the scale of reality and the world. The thing is the previlige are the few, those who are not does not have the ability to provide an helping hand. Lets put it this way before this self councious superior being we call human on earth. We are animal, from that its a simple "tribal" ideal with the ability to keep banding with ones are in common with one another.

@Tinfoilnation But since in US culture you can survive without a house but not without a car, we insist that our oil is cheap, and therefore establish oppressive regimes in the Middle East and promote civil wars to gain control of oil sources which spoil the environment. Everyone makes compromises about value, but when you know what the actual cost of oil is in human lives and still pressure the government to keep prices low, you care about driving more than brown people.

I enjoyed this at the start, but it gets a bit conspiracy theory-esque... There are reasons we have schools. I kind of wanted to have a rant like this: watch?v=NRNpU5J0ySA
