Not of top of my head, this was a realization I had a while back when I was chatting with a friend of mine about the fall of USSR and how quickly the society transformed itself under new social order. It does stem from dialectical analysis however.

There is a central contradiction between the individual and society itself. Individuals are inherently driven by their personal interests and goals, shaped by their unique experiences and material circumstances. Conversely, society establishes a framework of rules, norms, and values, that arise from the material conditions and power dynamics within that society.

Individuals strive to fulfill their desires within the constraints of societal expectations. Meanwhile, societal rules guide their behavior by establishing incentives and disincentives that either encourage or discourage specific actions. This dynamic relationship between personal desires and societal constraints is a dialectical process of constant tension and resolution. Individual actions challenge and reshape societal norms, just as societal changes can influence individual desires and behaviors.

We’re all here to learn. :)

This scenario serves as an excellent example of the significance of systemic analysis. The Soviet system’s selection pressures encouraged individuals to channel their energy towards productive endeavors. Even opportunists like Kallas were compelled to contribute positively to society in order to advance. However, following the counter-revolution, these same people quickly adapted to exploiting societal resources for personal gain, highlighting the importance of the relationship between the rules of society and personal behavior.

LMFAO

lol it’s just such an absurd scenario, this tech would have to be literal magic

lmao I have not!

exactly

It’s hilarious how liberals recycle the same handful of narratives, demonstrating a severe lack of originality.

Indeed, liberal conspiracy theories used to avoid devolving into outright absurdity. Nowadays, they’re embracing overtly bizarre and outlandish narratives.

It’s absolutely hilarious how liberals view Russia as a technological backwater on the brink of implosion, yet simultaneously capable of developing futuristic weaponry. This perfectly encapsulates their ability to hold two diametrically opposed beliefs at once while still maintaining an air of moral superiority.

I very much concur, and I believe this is one of the primary reasons behind the intense disdain towards Trump from liberals. He was the first to boldly expose the true nature of US politics by stripping away its facade, as evidenced by his famous quip how occupation of Syria is about oil rather than the supposed defense of human rights.

I really like this perspective, Liberalism indeed can be likened to a memetic virus that propagates through the population, infecting individuals with its ideological tenets. In contrast, dialectical materialism serves as an effective vaccine or inoculation against this pervasive influence, protecting people from the harmful effects of liberal thought and promoting critical thinking and social awareness instead.

Thanks, and what a video indeed!

I really loved this contrast
