The cambridge five couldn't do it better comrade. Keep up the good work o7

We shouldn't impute too much life-wisdom on kids with respect to wages and quality of life. They generally want to grow up to be whatever society looks up to and considers prestigious.

In the past actors, musicians, and sportsball stars, were held up right alongside useful professions (or their prestigious equivalents) like teachers, doctors, astronauts, rocket scientists, bridge-builders, etc.

Its a late-stage capitalist development specific to liberal countries that no longer values the useful professions, and even looks down on them. This isn't the case in many other countries like the PRC:

Everyone in the lemmy.world admin discord chats are now looking at each other like:

"please say wakanda + israel forever... We must secure a future for liberal spaces and protect our precious bodily fluids from tankie infiltration."

It isn't because kids are smart or thinking things out, its because the tech industry platforms streamers, youtubers, and influencers, making them famous, so that now they're the culturally hegemonic "figures to emulate". This is entirely the fault of techbros.

This isn't a positive development.

Because this isn't the 20th century anymore

We need tradespeople, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, nurses, engineers more than ever. These professions in some form are as old as recorded history.

The smugness of liberal echo chambers is truly astounding.

The state's role is not to "mitigate" or "settle disputes" or "act as referree" between classes, that's only a fiction that liberals believe about their governments. Its to act in the interest of one class against the other.

The PRC is a worker's state, which is why they harshly punish these execs found to be committing financial crimes.

Kinda funny considering during the first US war on Iraq, they tested a lot of experimental vaccines on the troops :

• https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222854/
• https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2001/jul/30/internationalnews

So they clearly have no qualms about experimental vaccines, only trusted / established ones.

I recently learned about this. I wonder if ppl also tell you to drink hot water when its really hot outside?

I've read this, and while its okay, its worth noting that its not a Marxist work, and she's more concerned with the symbols and religious ideology put in place feudal religions. IE mostly superstructure, and not about the economic base for women's oppression. For that Lise Vogel - Marxism and the Oppression of Women is much better.

• Lise Vogel - Marxism and the oppression of women
• Silvia Federici - Caliban and the Witch

Oh you think its okay to defend yourself? Authoritarian tankie
