I made a video discussing this book. I explain in that video that he was just projecting his own depression into this book. Leftists do this all the time. The modern left, like bernie is trying to completely contradict Fisher and put lipstick on the socialist pig by pushing "democratic socialism" as a new thing (which has been around for over a hundred years).

Good riddance

>>22928306
I am astonished at how stupid you are. You seriously looked at a book, saw it involved a critique of capitalism, determined it could not be National Socialist because it hates capitalism (????Hitler and the Nazis were heavily critical of capitalism...???????) and then decided that since it is not Nazi you will not read it. In other words you just told me you only read ideas you already believe are true. I cannot imagine a more pointless way to go about it. Your history is off and you need to leave the board, you do not belong here. Go read a book too, they will literally make you smarter so long as you continuously inject new ideas and info with your selections. Its not too late to stop being a dumbass, I beg of you.

I find Mark Fisher an embarrassment and emblematic of the problems left-wing politics has developed over the past 40 years.

if he never killed himself he would just be another fringe, blogger who found their humanities degree to be worthless.

/lit/ is an embarrassing board. Does no one have a point of view on the current post-Fordist strategies of co-opting the consumer's own desires? The fact that Capitalism now includes critiques of Capitalism into it's profit model (the Barbie movie has cheap hollow anti-capitalist messages meant to make the audience feel good about themselves while they continue contributing to the machine of Capitalism). Does no one have a comment on the atomization and isolation that is the default mode of existing in our current culture? The fact that, society wide, mental illness and loneliness is skyrocketing, yet in each case the person is viewed as either personally at fault or suffering a chemical imbalance which can be cured by "Big Pharma Brand". Jesus, if the best you have to say it "it's bad", shut the fuck up and lurk more until you can form a cogent opinion on the book at hand.

To be fair I don’t think humans have the ability to be socialists either without becoming massive bureaucrats. At least in a free market system I can own things, or the semblance of owning things without some control freak sociopath making sure what I own is someone else’s too. In the current era I can’t even own my own wife without psychos telling me I’m controlling. I miss the days before 1865.

This is unironically the endpoint of capitalism too though, Fisher dedicates significant time to the bureaucratic tendencies of private enterprises to hit certain arbitrary targets which recede further and further away from actual production and for executives types to make themselves seem valuable simply by employing many underlings to essentially pointless jobs.

Like every other Godless commie in existence Fisher didn't realize that it's going to take something literally Divine to break the power of American capitalism.

He should have studied what John Paul II did against the Soviet Union.

>>22929492
Zero. Before they even came out I heard the Pharma companies refused to roll them out without total legal liability immunity. "100% safe and effective" meanwhile they refuse to take liability onto their companies but expect you to take that very liability onto your own body. Not to mention this is an environment and industry which purposely created the opioid epidemic just to make a quick buck. It's actually a decent metric for whether a person has basic critical thinking skills to ask whether they took one of these products under the absolutely ridiculous circumstances in which they were offered (hint, it's impossible to generate safety data and effectiveness data in the short time frame that was given).

Then what is? Bioleninism? Third worldism? These, too, are things that capitalism and America can incorporate.

You won't beat the United States unless you can conjure something to oppose it that men will die for. That's the level of passion that will break the hold of capitalism. Come up with something people will DIE for. Will give their lives for. Something people believe in that strongly. Nothing purely intellectual will do, you will have to stir the soul and pump the blood, and get people ready to die.

>>22929574
You won't get anywhere if you deny reality. There is absolutely no reason to believe any divine being exists or cares about human affairs.

Human civilization tends to go in cycles. It's likely the only possible end to our civilization is a catastrophic collapse, likely to be ushered in when AI achieves a level of general aptitude to automate entire industries in such a short order to create genuine labor shocks to major parts of the labor market. To date, this has been slow enough so that one generation simply bleeds into a generation markedly worse off and so, like a frog in heating water, this will not cause a jump. When a new generation gets boiling water dumped on them, then we will reap the grapes of wrath and nigh, we shall see the fate of Man.

The nuremberg code. Values exist, but they're not what the system tells you, they're what the system actually upholds-self preservation, monopoly on violence, an ever growing need for control and so on. The "humanistic" values we espouse and swear to live by don't exist for most people, but we feel better about ourselves thinking they do and thinking we help uphold them.

>>22929615
It's true that power tends to centralize and that every thinking man must steel himself against this fact and shift his back in the fight against this malevolent tendency of the human condition. The Nuremberg Code, while vacuous in the context of governmental adherence, is still a code which exists. Codes are merely a set of standards, thus, if you view a government violating such a standard, it consequently informs you of the integrity (or lack thereof) of that government. That is what I was referring to.

Correct me if I am wrong, I read this book during COVID (and listened to an audio book reading of it a year later), but as I recall it's basically a primer to Marx's Kapital with a few pop culture references thrown in. The conclusion was simply "capitalism is unstoppable unless complete environmental failure happens so...". There was no advice or solution given, just to deal with it. Am I missing something?

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Anonymous widely used expression, used by many authors, it appears at least as early as in Death and Dying (1979) in the Social Issues Resources Series, Vol. 1, p. 35.

>>22929745

>>22929566
That is an accurate cartoon of Yahweh, who confounds sense utterly without ever losing sovereignty

Marxism is inherently depressing because it reduces the metaphysics of the world down to an arena of social domination without any justifying principles. Basically, capital dominates and forces capitalism on those who fail to dominate. If you diagnose capitalism as the cause and consequence of society’s ills, you are necessarily trapped in a hopeless spiral of pessimism wherein nothing can ever get better once this genie is let out of the bottle. Your life is just fucked in that scenario. At that point, an impossible utopian Marxist revolution is your only hope and capitalism excludes the possibility.

But they are still fallacies and you know that. If I said to you "b-but you're ugly and bad and I don't like you" you would've laughed at what I said, right? Because that's a fallacy. That's ad hominem. I know some people don't like naming and categorizing everything, but everyone knows that logical fallacies are faulty thinking.
See, that's the problem with people like you. You seem to care more about emotional contents of messages rather than their actual conceptual contents. If one person says "unga bunga" in a loud and domating manner and another one says "unga bunga" quietly then you're going to think that the first one is right and you don't care about the actual contents of what's been said. That's what you're trying to do now. You're uttering nonsense, but you're trying to do it in a dominating way, that's your monkey brain working in that way.
Think, anon, think.

>>22931261
>He's talking about contradictions in descriptions of god, that's one of monotheism's biggest problems.
It quite literally is not a problem in monotheistic religions. It is a problem for Arabic cavemen that think God has a literal physical body and polytheists that have to appease 90 different gods due to British people forcing their religion into a thing that can be written about by a professor. Not even gonna bother with your "faulty thinking" bourgeois nonsense.

>>22931281

You mean that's one of their beliefs, right? That they don't have such problems and contradictions.

>>22931219
Any worldview is built on inference. It's true we can only "know" for certain that we, our perception as a phenomenon, exists. Inference must be logically consistent to be reliable. Thus, "empirical evidence" is that which is logically consistent and commensurate with the model of reality which includes an external world that is capable of being apprehended and interacted with. Anything else is just mind games and schizophrenia.
>>22931248
>Are you calling the entire philosophical canon up until the 17th century schizophrenic?
Much of it was. Human beings have an overwhelming bias to believe things happen due to agency. Evolution has favored this type of error, since a rustle in the bushes can be taken as a sign of danger and save your life, or dismissed as random noise and risk your death, whereas being spooked in error carries relatively little harm. Inculcate this tendency across time and our species now has a bias to attribute all kinds of spooky agency to things unseen. To actually forego careful reason and simply give into these primitive beliefs is tantamount to schizophrenia, yes. Also

>>22932078
My favorite thing in the world is that the only response to logical realism is "well, what if I want to choose illogical things and delusions?" The justification is conformity with reality. "I think therefore I am" is true because it cannot be otherwise. To think while not existing is incoherent. If you mean to say I make an "arbitrary" decision to be coherent rather than incoherent, that's an exceptionally weak position for you, isn't it?

>>22932100
> "I think therefore I am" is true because it cannot be otherwise.
You could say "it thinks" in the same way we say "it rains".
I think if you want to really reach the bottom of things, you should say that "something is going on".

Literally provide a single piece of evidence for your claims about how human behavior evolved. You are just pulling shit out of your ass based on your own tendency to flinch.

>>22932185
Are you familiar with natural selection? If a behavior is likely to lead to survival where another behavior will lead to death, the one that fosters survival will be selected for, and consequently, the kind of biological structure which results in the choice which results in survival will be selected for and continue to exist. You would have to show that either the situation which I referenced did not exist for the ancestors of man, or that the survival incentives in that situation are weighted differently as to select for a different outcome. You are incapable of even engaging in the slightest on the topic so I will repeat my advice to shut the fuck up and lurk more. Hell, maybe read a book like "On the Origin of Species" or "The Selfish Gene" so that you have a semblance of an idea of what is being discussed.

>Are you familiar with natural selection?
Yeah, I'm a biologist. Are you familiar with the other three factors of evolution or are you talking out your ass? I literally asked you for a source to support your argument and you responded with the shit they tell you in middle school. You're the one the has to provide a source here, go off to scihub and get one. You're just making shit up. A rustle in the bushes is much more likely to be something you can eat than something that's going to eat you, in my experience at least. You're talking about an ultrasocial primate that pretty much always rides around together stinking like shit and throwing rocks at things, not a grouse.

>>22932695
Let me add here that a cat (aka the things that usually eat apes) can smell you and aren't going to make a rustling noise in a bush. Being alert to noises helps much more with hunting (you'd be aware of this if you ever went hunting) and it seems to me that having one or two other smelly ape pals around is a much better defense than spooking when a woodcock flushes from a bush.

You're a moron. If I were citing a statistic, you could ask a source, when I am extrapolating from a theory which is the bedrock of the entire field of biology you have to address what I said to address (and you admit as much by providing an alternate theory of incentives).
>>22932704

>>22933348
To refute my point, you would have to show it violates the principles of natural selection or my example has not occurred in the life of man enough to exert a survival pressure. Science is a process of deduction and actually, you know, THINKING. Demanding an authority to state a thing as true is the opposite of science, but you've gone far enough to demonstrate that you are a certified idiot. You are basically a caricature or a parody of science, imagining you are appealing to science when really you are just unwilling to actually think through a hypothesis but instead simply insisting on an official paper so you can out-source your thinking to an authority. Absolutely embarrassing anon, seriously, lurk more and post less if this is the caliber of post you have to offer.

How did you get from "you can't prove the physical world is real outside mere empirical evidence" to "Human beings have an overwhelming bias to believe things happen due to agency"?
Seems like you just brought a completely unrelated topic.

>the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it.
What the fuck is he talking about? Everyone can image living in Soviet Union

No retard you need data in the data based system to support your claims. This is the most basic part of the whole thing.

Because people have a universal tendency, all over the planet in different setting, to assign agency to inanimate objects. Some peoples what believed that rocks and trees and rivers have spirits. Some people think nature herself is a being with agency, or the earth itself. Some people believe the universe itself is a being. It's a projection of patterns onto something where the pattern does not call for a personhood. It's like if you turn on a TV tuned to nothing and it looks like the white spots on the screen are swirling in patterns when, in reality, it is totally random. This all goes to my point that you should be careful and rigorous when you make claims about reality and thus you could base your claims on empirical evidence.

Capitalism absorbs everything, it would just buy the boat, market it as a progressive change and keep growing.

Read "On the Origin of Species". Then you will become acquainted with the principle of Natural Selection. Then you will have the ability to discuss hypothetical situations and whether Natural Selection would favor one thing or another. Idiot.

Jokes aside End of History is kind of a comforting book. Fukuyama seems to makes an honest attempt at defending the idea of an eternal reign of liberalism and I feel less convince of it after reading him.
