People are brainwashed to no longer even see it as concerningto be called such terms. People's worth is only in how much they can work or consume. - **abuse of animals**: In capitalism animals are just products and resources, they are kept in very bad conditions just to be killed for meat or other purpose. They are slaughtered by millions just so we can overeat to morbid obesity. Maximizing profit dictates no money should be spent on animal comfort. - **[productivity cult](productivity_cult.md)**: People are brainwashed and forced into becoming robots whose sole purpose is to produce. Working overtimes, skipping lunch, minimizing sleep etc. has already become part of the work culture for example in USA and Japan. +- **financial crises**: Crises are as regular and certain in capitalism as rain is in the nature, and possibly much more unpredictable; every crisis hurts everyone but the strongest corporations, whom it in turn makes stronger. People become poorer and great many small and mid-size businesses, i.e. potential competition to the big guys, either die to a bankrupt or are forced to let themselves be devoured by the big guys. This further accelerated the scissors effect, making poor poorer (i.e. better abusable) and rich richer. This is also yet another reason why the small "good guy"/"not only for profit" companies always lose, they simply refuse to steal the food of others to eat themselves obese before a famine and so they will die during the next famine or the next or the one after it. Only the bad guys survive many series of crises. - **everything is fake**: Everything is rotten and corrupted on the inside with an extreme effort towards putting up a misleading good looking facade. TV shows, including "news", are all staged (even those swearing not to be, no producer is going to invest money in something depending on pure luck), smiles and emotion of people you meet in workplace or see on ads, women's tits, butts and faces, men's muscles, photos on social media, food that has basically no food in it, even news and facts, everything is fake. Investigating any area (government, working conditions, technology, healthcare, education, charities, academia and "[science](soyence.md)", ...) a bit in depth practically always leads to unrevealing how corrupt it actually is despite it looking nice and ideal at the first look. - **loss of ownership**: Even that which is most saint to a capitalist -- property and the ability to own things -- is greatly lost under capitalism. This happens with the trend of everything becoming a service, a typical example of which is so called "[software as a service](saas.md)". While in the past one would buy a physical copy of a program that he would at least physically own forever, nowadays many programs become a subscription service, e.g. games, movies and music are no longer something you buy but just buy a one time ticket for. But this trend is everywhere, artificial obsolescence tries to limit durability of physical goods such electronic devices so that one has to keep consuming them like a service. - **[rape effect](rape_effect.md)**: The mechanisms of capitalism work in such ways that everyone gets progressively more raped with any further advance of capitalism. diff --git a/how_to.md b/how_to.md index 38b07f8..b2fff27 100644 --- a/how_to.md +++ b/how_to.md @@ -145,6 +145,7 @@ This is a summary of some main guidelines on how an LRS supporter should behave - Similarly **avoid [toxic](toxic.md) communities**, don't argue, just leave, it's better to be alone than in bad company.

Sure you may become an expert at something, but it shouldn't make your view of the world too narrow.

This isn't an argument for self interest! On the contrary, most people nowadays will try to push you to following self interest or fascist goals that will also benefit them. You only have one life, others have theirs, so listen to advice but remember to always make your own decisions in important things. If you feel you don't want to go to school or that you don't want to work or that you want to do something that people despise or you want to do something that you've read is wrong, just do what you feel is best, even if it's a let down for your family or if it contradicts what the whole society is telling you. +- **Publish everything immediately**, don't wait for your project "to be ready" for a release, make it public right now! You don't have to advertize it, just make it public. Some reasons are for example: you aren't behaving strategically like a capitalist, you get early feedback from others (important so you don't spend a lot of time on shit), you let others know what you're working on so they don't waste time working on the same thing, even an incomplete project may be useful to someone (parts of it may already be useful to someone), and also, very importantly, if you hesitate YOU WILL NEVER RELEASE THE PROJECT, you will become obsessed with perfectionism and ashamed to ever release the project. YES YOU WILL, I have seen it about 10000000 billion times. You think you will release it but you won't, every additional day you hesitate the chance of release decreases by 10%, so after 10 days it's already certain you will never release it, further on the chance even gets negative. - PRO TIP: **Get yourself [banned](ban.md) on toxic platforms** like [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md), [GitHub](github.md), [Steam](steam.md), [4chan](4chan.md) etcetc., it has many advantages -- you gain [freedom](freedom.md) (no longer having to care about platform you are banned on), the platform loses one user/slave (you), you stop being abused by the platform, it's also [fun](fun.md) (just find some creative way to get banned, possibly cause uprising on the platform, make mods angry and waste their time on cleaning up your mess), it will make you become more self sufficient and you help decentralize the Internet again (can't edit Wikipedia?
