  • Anarcho-Bidenism was kind of framed as irony but they always actually meant it.

    Like, it was ironic. It was. But the irony was the anarcho part all along.

    They weren’t ironically supporting Biden and NATO, they really were doing that and they were smirking at how they were calling themselves anarchists while supporting Biden and NATO because even those fucking morons realized how incompatible those positions are.

    But somehow in this 4chan style post post post modernism that online millennials and zoomers have created all that mattered to them was that the irony was there. They didn’t probe what the irony was, somehow they’re just content with the irony being there. That’s where the thought process terminates.

    Someone tell me a German philosopher who can help me understand this phenomenon?

    I don’t fucking get it. I can see what it is but I don’t fucking get it.



















  • In China they have rules that aggressively favor owner-occupiers.

    Eg if you want to buy a second property you need to pay 60% cash up front and can only borrow 40%, and for a third or subsequent property you can’t get a mortgage and need to pay cash.

    This means being a speculator in existing housing stock isn’t attractive since it locks up so much capital - and so speculators have instead invested in new builds which is why there has been a bubble in construction, but at least it means for the existing housing stock is largely an owner-occupier market.

    There are also special funds specifically for saving for a house, kind of similar to a 401k, that you can put your money into as a savings account and your employer has to match your contributions.
