  • Wie immer bei Utilitarismus sieht alles nicht mehr so scheinig aus wenn einem klar wird, dass so entweder-oders so gut wie nie den realen Optionen und Kontingenzen entsprichen.

    In einer Realsituation, in der Wir zu reiche Menschen enteignen können, müssen wir sie wohl kaum umbringen.

    Wenn Elomelo mitmachen will, arbeiten und konsumieren und alles, kann er ja ruhig. Nur das irgendwer für ihn verhindert, dass jemand eines der 50 Häuser, Boote, etc, die er “besitzt”, betritt, würde nicht passieren.

    Das beantwortet wiederum noch nicht die Frage, ob der Weg zu solchen politischen Machtverhältnissen mord- oder gar gewaltfrei verlaufen wird.

    Diejenigen, die Leib und Leben riskieren um Privateigentum an Yachten zu verteidigen, sind jedenfalls andere und werden andere sein, als die Eigentümer.




  • That sounds good and healthy to me. It’s definetly part of any pedagocial role to mitigate the worst. I mean I strongly advocate for hope in the good in kids and teach/allow them to make this world a better place than we managed to so far, responsibility and all kinds of compasses. But surely they are idiots and need to rely on us mitigating that!


  • Yes, happening. Empathy and morals (which are party sort of systemized empathy) do develop. Needs time and good relationship circumstances though. I’m in outdoor pedagogy and I’m pretty sure kids make a lot of progress with some help here and there.

    School as both the no 1 pedagogical field and an institution of selection and disciplination (hello competition, hello human market) isn’t a great place to progress in that.


  • Haha yeah sorry I’m sick and kinda slow rn.

    Yeah basically that’s what I said but I also tried to describe the rational of being mean and contextualize it in a broader mode of socialization.

    This is to not just go “kids are brutal” but add additional understanding, which in turn is meant to help forgiveness (in a sense of reducing hurt) and see the involvement of social order (competition does no good to hoomans).

    You know, like the kids are alright but society isn’t yet so they aren’t. This sucks but doesn’t have to forever.


  • If there is even just a chance that others wouldn’t understand, let alone disapprove you associating with kid X, you can accomplish 2 things by ousting them: 1. You get rid of the potential disapproval (wich is mostly just insecurity) 2. You help an ingroup getting rid of unambiguousness, by drawing/strengthening the border to the outgroup, while with the same move placing yourself on the inside.

    I work with kids, and so far I think this is the objective rationality behind most or at least many acts of cruel exclusion.

    The only long term, non authoritarian solution is the kids developing a moral compass, that makes violent exclusion more important to them than short term insecurity-management and of course beeing less insecure. (Plus the “weird ones” often have fluffin interesting perspectives)

    As we can see in comments like “shower more” even many adults didn’t recover from the competitive-acceptance-bs other kids/their parents/ this fucked up society gave them.




  • Nee das Soziale schon wichtig… aber man kann auch cornern mit den zuhausis und billo getränke trinken.

    Wichtigste ist m.E. gute gadgets kaufen und gut drauf aufpassen. Hab mir z.b. sennheiser hd 50 gegönnt (gute Kopfhörer die alle DJs und Ton Leute die draußen arbeiten haben, und jetzt nach 15 Jahren muss ich sie langsam ersetzen. Andere kaufen alle 3 jahre neue für ein drittel des Preises, aber die Mathematik prüft aus.






  • I think it’s still good to go vote to keep the worst from happening and to improve the circumstances for emancipatory struggle.

    But I also think voting is one of the lesser important levers, compared to activism, organizing, unions and so on.

    Both, giving up using levers and cosplaying trying by just voting for a shitty neoliberal mess and watch them making people frustrated enough to vote for trumpf and not doing anything else are irresponsible at the end of the day
