but you are seeing a nation where you can't live a comfortable life without working to afford the resources you need to survive

which is worse
You, at least, aren't one to suggest that life would be better without work at all, are you?
to reiterate nix: from each according to his ability, to each according to his need

the fact of the matter is that some people just aren't cut out for work, which will only become increasingly true with the advent of automation

if you work at all, your incentive for doing so should not be monetary compensation, it should be the knowledge that you're contributing something useful to your society, whether it be food, entertainment, or some other good or service

everyone works for each other

This is the dude that wants everybody to stop having babies and die lmao. That's very optimistic of you👍😂😂😂😂

fuck optimism

I was just wondering if you were one to believe a life of nothing but leisure, one without responsibility, would be ideal.

Didn't think so.

well, only because we cannot create that kind of world out of thin air (barring total extinction)

if there were some way to alleviate all responsibility while retaining purpose in life, then you can bet i'd strive for it

You can relate to the great urgency of Man of Steel regardless of race, but Black Panther never achieves an interesting vision. The F/X, sets, and costuming are stock. They lack even the childlike idealization that made the “Africa” scenes of Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America and Michael Jackson’s Remember the Time music video such straight-up, feel-good versions of black anthropology. Afro-futurists will justify any whim, but how can they square the updated James Bond, Star Wars technology of the Wakandan people with the fact that they still live like the natives in Tarzan movies? This indicates how little Americans know about various cultures on the African continent. Black Panther’s Marvelization of black history and anthropology is pathetic, and the Marvelizing of black imagination is appalling.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The idea of copious nudity in Anime isn't particularly revolutionary. I don't mind it most of the time, though it gets on my nerves if the show wastes too many shots on pointless titillation.

That being said, there's no such thing as "hating" or "liking" anime in general; Unless you meant that as a shorthand for "I dislike most Anime I've seen so far". Anime isn't a genre, it's a medium. It'd be like saying you hate feature films.

Sounds like you're describing the Star Trek's Federation in TNG era.

A shame though that that it's on the back of post-scarcity world(s) which sounds marvellous but is totally impossible within our lifetimes. At best.

Hi there! Just send me or Cheat bitcoins and he'll have that cleared up for you. This thread was originally about what OP thought on America but we got sidetracked with Communism and/or Utopia discussion instead.

Spoiler

I'm kidding a bit - it just means OP is banned because he did a naughty and it's a long running joke that a user here, SecondClass used to do. It eventually just became a joke on the text to replace banned users. No bitcoins involved.

No one gets blacklisted unless they request it. Harshest ban we've had recently was a month long.

You really have to screw up to be banned so I wouldn't worry about it.

Government has been kinda necessary evil until people are good. But government has become too big or powerful always.
