PRC wasn't Communist since forever. They simply use red stars for aesthetics and have Communist party in charge*. They're, by any means, a far-right government.

*And the party has moved from the Communism completely since Deng Xiaoping and his market reforms.

Pounded in the Butt by my own Government... oh wait, that's real life.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

some people are strong, some people are weak, society is best when the strong support the weak.


right:
some people are strong, some people are weak, society is best when you let the strong do whatever they want.

reality:
some people are strong, some people are weak, the strong do what they want regardless of society's best interests.

Bring Kobold Kamp to LNP! graphics compatibility fix.

So the conclusion I'm getting here is that we use QSPs because dwarves can't pilot submarines.

Strong/weak seems like an odd way of looking at it tbh. Rich/poor might be closer to the mark, if it's got to be a dichotomy.

The rich aren't rich because they're more powerful, they're  rich because they're descended from the rich.

Down at the bottom of the ocean. Beneath tons of brine which would crush you down. Not into broken and splintered flesh, but into thin soup. Into just more of the sea water. Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

Especially since wealth tends to make you weaker, and reliant upon the strong for protection against the numerous and poor

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

It's funny because the strong usually end up realising the rich are dependent upon them, seizing their wealth and becoming the new rich. Until the new strong do the same unto them in the future

What will we do when money becomes not needed? Right now our economy is based on humans working to receive money to buy what they need/want. When machines do work instead, how will humans get the money to get what they need?

Planned obsolescence for us. We'll become useless but as a low grade lubricant source for our new machine overlords.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

We'll obviate the need for work and grant life artificial meaning by placing hooking up people's brains to an Matrix-like alternate reality game. In this game, people are arbitrarily mortal, have arbitrary ethical values to uphold, and have to survive by compromising those values by selling their precious time and efforts working dismal jobs for their whole lives and... fuck we're in it right now aren't we?
