  Would be cool if they added some more buildings and rooms and furniture and tech as well.

  I think the game would be very cool with electricity and pumps and water tanks. Maybe automated fertilizer systems. It might also be cool to hire labor to work on the farm and try to turn it into a bit of a business sim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the worst enemy of feudalism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There wasn’t really any challenge to it because of the absolute nature of the states control and the concept of human rights not really being a thing at that point under feudalism. The most powerful oppositional forces to the feudal lords were mainly the clergy originally, although they had many shared interests, and eventually the mercent class who was cosmopolitan and traveled.

  Under feudalism around 20% of the population was considered nobility and the rest were peasents, serfs, or coloni. Nobles generally owned all land and businesses and sometimes had political rights or fiefdoms which were like property that could be passed down.

  Midieval societies often used torture, execution, and abuse as well as religious brainwashing to control their subjects. The nobility also guarded knowledge about war and currency and other things, like reading to oppress the subjects who worked the land.

  Taxes were generally low. Around 20-25% of their crop. The rights of serfs varied from region to region.

  Really the biggest adversary to feudalism was other feudal lords, then the clergy, and at times conspiracies of finance and empires. The feudal kingdoms often aided each other in giving asylum to war criminals or relieving each other from riots. They often intervened to put back into place other monarchies when they were overthrown.

  Murder is a charge that means it’s an intentional killing, manslaughter is an accidental killing.

  Yes Nvidia selling to these actual criminals is very unethical and also against the American people. We should boycott them.

  I think the most interesting thing about drug markets is how stable they are compared to real life markets. Even as the currency deflates drugs maintain their value over the years.

  Nationalism is anticorporate if you do it correctly. Also you can just ban the stock market and the collective ownership of companies and also limit their limited liability and go to a hard, Inflation proof currency to plug up the other holes. Corporations cannot compete with small businesses without lobbying for lower tax rates then the working class and relying on low interest loans to buy assets and brands which artificially boost their value in the speculator markets.

  Well hopefully they aren’t full of Nazis. Our revolutionary movement in America got hijacked by Trump and the fascists but people are waking up and realizing Trump is a scum bag. Killing innocent people is only one of his crimes.

  That’s not the right direction either. They are both bad, the corporations and the state. Only the people should have power and the people should vote in their own interests and they should not allow states or corporations to operate within their nation unless what they do is squarely in the interests of the people.

  The British people really would benefit from all collectively refusing to vote for their mainstream parties and instead voting for independent anarchist parties which try to get rid of as many laws and government institutions and also nationalize anything the people will be better served by, under collective ownership. All it really takes I think is to just talk to people. Tell them to stop voting for those parties and if they can’t resist then to stop watching the news media which fills their minds with anxiety.

  A person who loves you will always be reasonable towards you and treat you like a human being. They won’t be a perv and go through your stuff or gossip about you. They won’t try to take from you, but fair expectations are fair.

  The irony is that you don’t know anything about economics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I promise I'm not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol like I said I study economics not reganomics. You can’t find any YouTube videos that are not reganomics. YouTube had all of that purged during the great censorship wave before they put trump into power. I know you live in the soviet union basically so you never heard anything that was true in your life probably. The internet is just not a good source in these things anymore. I’m pretty sure it’s like half bots.

  There is such a thing as true value in many ways, and you have it backward. You don’t measure the value of hard currencies by fiat, you measure the value of items by hard currency. A loaf of bread is worth however much copper someone will pay for it. A copper isn’t worth x amount of bread. The price of bread may change because of various things, but the price of the copper will always remain fairly constant, outside of improvements in technology and stuff. This is sort of buffered by the fact that if the value of something useful like copper drops then the market will use it for more things, since it just has so many useful properties. Copper is actually a better conductor than gold and silver. If the price of copper rises, the market may try to phase it out of certain things. .it’s also just that copper is already very valuable so the extraction of it is already very optimized. There probably isn’t too many big improvements to be made in extracting it but as the price changes, certain processing of it may become more or less feasible.

  This is sort of the reason things like oil keep its value over time. It’s when oil prices go up, it suddenly becomes profitable to open up old fields which produce lower quality oil which requires more expensive processing, and as the market is flooded those same fields become unprofitable. It sort of self regulates.

  Also you should do easily anyways, you should have your fortune divided into several pools of different metals, and also land, and maybe a bit of stock in a joint enterprise. You should probably spend some on collectibles, and also some on yourself. As in educating yourself.

  Mainstream MMT is a bunch of junk created to screw over the working class and to give corporations tons of power by controlling everything that is valuable. It creates so many negatives. High asset prices, even relative to true inflation, because people have to overly expose themselves to assets to store value if they aren’t rich and can’t snowball. It creates debt based economies, where many companies don’t even pay taxes because they operate on debt besides the many other tax loopholes that become necessary to keep this duct tape economy going. The people have to pay high taxes or inflation goes up too fast since they have to find a way to suck liquidity out of the economy as they also somehow have to keep injecting it. That’s why the average American pays dozens or hundreds of taxes. It destroys the principle of free markets, because once companies get into the range of tens of millions. They never really have to worry about going out of business as long as they sell something. This makes asset prices even higher and destroys small businesses. It locks out the working class from starting businesses without tons of investment from managers and puppeters. It requires that people not be given even a basic education, so that they don’t know how screwed they are which leads to all kinds of issues, like companies not knowing how to actually be successful long term. It punishes efficient companies which are in debt, because they become more exposed to risk, where shitty companies can just sell all their assets to a rich friend, or a shell llc, and file for bankruptcy. It requires that the state is always corrupt, because any sort of tweaking of the system will cause the economy to collapse. It requires that Americans put their retirement into a casino or there will be too much asset inflation this requires governments occasionally steal everyone gold with literal armies going door to door, as well as getting tons of propaganda about how saving money is bad and gambling with your retirement is actually good, when you can just buy gold and beat the stock market every year. It also destroys class, since there is virtually no reward for being honest, saving money, giving something to your kids. Fiat economics hates class, in particular the middle class, fiat currency thrives on a class of aristocrats and a giant underclass of uneducated poorly fed and disarmed fools. There will hardly ever be more then 3 generations of high wealth within one family or even basic land ownership, Inca fiat economy. This destroys our DNA. Our creativity, our intelligence, our looks, our more human features like our empathy and restraint. In short, fiat currency raises and entire population of fat bald ugly and disrespectful people, because this is the evolutionary pressure that fiat currencies create. There are many other reasons beyond this. Like just the fact that for some strange reason, under a fiat system, you will almost always earn less the next day then the day before with a job. Almost every single job in America pays you the most in real value, the first day you show up, it’s so ironic. The government also lies about inflation btw. It’s really around 7% per year on average. So if you are not making 7% more every year then you are being paid less. If your house doesn’t appreciate in 7% of fiat per year, then your house is becoming less valuable. If your retirement isn’t growing 7% a year, then you should of just bought gold, and when you add in the risk, it’s higher then 7% per year for your retirement, because every so often, seem to be about once a decade these days, the rich will decide to just crash the market and take half of your retirement. So really you need to be making about 12.5% per year on your retirement or you are actually just losing money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I promise I'm not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest I don’t feel like responding to every single one of these points. I think I summed it up pretty well in the last post even if you disagree. I’ll respond to one or two or a few, which I think covers most of your points.

  Stuff being made of literal money - this isn’t really true because you can extract more of it and recycle it. It’s also not just one metal but many metals. The way it worked in history, is that gold was used for things like large transactions, and long term savings, where most people used silver as the everyday currency. Copper is also a good option, relatively valuable but also very fungible with the downside of oxidation which silver and gold doesn’t have at normal temperatures. You can also have iron, nickel, platinum, and other coins. One of the core ideas is that the state doesn’t issue currency directly, as they like all human beings are not responsible enough to have that kind of power as a monopoly, but they simply ensure fair use by making counterfeiting and fraud illegal. This is how much of human history handled money.

  An economy without inflation or debts isn’t bad. It is bad for the rich, but not for the workers. It’s bad for the rich because mega corporations cannot compete with small businesses in a hard currency system. In the past things were worse because of technology. They didn’t have much of it. It’s a different era now.

  Hard currency doesn’t appreciate just because you are rich. This happens in fiat currency systems. The reasons corporations snowball in wealth, is because they have access to low interest and no interest loans, and real valuable assets where workers do not have any access to any valuable asset to store wealth in. The most valuable asset a worker has that actually holds value is a home, and even this has lost about 30% of its value over the past 50 years, despite being higher quality. It also isn’t a long term store of wealth and has property taxation attached to it, which means the only people who can ever get wealthy in our society, are people who get past a threshold of about 20+ million a year currently. They then snowball towards being extremely wealthy just on compound interest and stock appreciation alone. For every 1% of people who get wealthy this way, 99% of people get poorer year after year, and with absolutely no control over this process, as is the entire design of fiat currencies.

  Also to close, I would like to just say, that virtually every human who has ever lived in history would disagree with your fiat currency nonsense. It wasn’t until the age of mass media and compulsory education that governments and corporations could really force people into paper money and 401ks. It has been tried a few times in history, always by tyrants, and always has directly preceded the complete collapse of their society and culture.

  This is because the most valuable actual thing on this earth is people, and if people are not treated with decency and paid fairly, then your society collapses. You cannot cheat people out of their wages. America as well has degenerated nonstop since it’s adoption of fiat currencies. Economic growth in real value has been stagnant since the 70s. Most of the fake stock market is IP and real estate bubbles and overpriced companies that will never recover the valuation that they have in real value, only through inflation. Fiat currencies have also created a situation where the old and adults in general sell away their children’s futures and force them into debt without their consent so they can live lives of opulence and excess without having to actually work for it. This scam has went on for so long that now nearly half of Americans cannot find a job or will not work for the terrible wages and our IQ is dropping, and less then a quarter of people even own property without debt. The ones who do mostly own a worn down old wooden house. This is what fiat currency creates. It is find mentally just greed and unfairness and irresponsibility and an attempt for a terrible and inefficient state and corporate class to cling on to power for another century until the people starve and finally overthrow them.
