It may be a convenient rule-of-thumb, but it only exists reflexively i.e. to the extent that people believe it, and like bitcoin, it is not a democracy, but a question of economic nodes -- in the economy of moralities, one might ask, what is the dominant morality in actual capacity for power? Obviously, politics has a trivial impact on moving these markets.
Nietzsche invokes the notion of revaluation of values: what if accelerationism will see an acceleration of the turnover of moral values? All this talk of flattened groups... it is lousy philosophy, and it is just slave morality. Morality emerges within the conditions of each individual. People talk about politics because they cannot actually shape the world in a meaningful way. Loser stuff. I can talk to bitcoiners (localism), and therein a culture might emerge that is a bit less sloppy, thereby productive. If bitcoiners were truly individualist islands, they would have zero concerns about things half the world away -- if there is theory about control systems, it is just impotent venting, which means... bitcoin is not enough, today, in the moment we live.
So might as well get busy reading Nietzsche and taking over the world rather than engaging in these turbonormie, I'm 14 and this is edgy noticing, talking points.
There is almost zero awareness of The Greater Israel Project among my contemporaries in the west.
Where there is awareness it is more likely to be one of dull acceptance and apathy.
A strong and healthy culture is built of people concerned about themselves and their interdependence upon others.
The Sovereign Individual movement is typical of the attempt to isolate oneself from the moral and economic decline all around you.
You cannot do it.
You are ultimately interdependent upon those around you to a greater extent than ever before in history.
Supply chains and power structures are more centralised and larger than ever before,.
Many of them a algorithms that watch and know you better than you know yourself.
To disengage from interest in politics and the power structure you are dependent upon is to be a slave...a dumb, ignorant and powerless slave.
Awareness maxing while being a whiny bitch is just another word for gay
Make your own great plans, loser
What have you done to augment your power lately?
Morality is to some extent a moving target- it is relative to the time you are in and the context.
Hitler, Ceasar, Napolean and Genghis Khan were men of their time and context and certainly all took strong positions and actions in life.
As a westerner the general apparent decline of US does concern me- it has always been a rather brash and bold culture embracing new and transitory conveniences and customs but is more familiar to me than Chinese culture...but my cultural biases and preferences are not relevant in dispassionately observing the advance of history.
