What good is power?

Only the weak need to ask this.

>>2104977
When "power" is in the hands of trans-national elite it's only good for themselves.

capitalism socialism fascism it's all semantics if you're at the bottom of the ladder 9999/10000 times you're stuck there

>>2104984
You forget where the transnational elite live, and that they aren't elite in a vacuum.

A billionaire who lives in Los Angeles, manufactures his products in China and leaves his money in an offshore tax haven does very little for Americans.

>>2105009
In any real terms there is no such thing as "Americans".

And Americans do very little for him. Switzerland has infrastructure, as do most Western European countries. Why should he live in LA when he could live in those places? Because LA has been more friendly to his business or lifestyle. Should LA stop doing that and encourage him to move elsewhere?

This triggers the latino.

Trickle down economics is real. Even if most wealth remains concentrated in the hands of the rich, the poor in America are infinitely better off than the poor in third world countries.

Let's not compare one nation to another but look specifically at America. The argument for allowing legal highly-qualified individuals to immigrant to America goes along the lines of "having the highest-skilled people come here makes America's economy the strongest in the world." That may be true when it comes to raw data, but a large segment of our population is left jobless and forced to compete more intensely at the job market. The stress this puts on millions of Americans isn't taken into consideration.

>>2105151
Having a greater population increases the demand for consumer goods. If you want more flexibility in the job market, you can't decrease the labor force. You have to increase capital.

>>2105070
But look at the poor in other developed western countries.

>>2105151
Good.

Millions of Americans aren't entitled to a job just by being born in America.

>>2105182
They are entitled to vote, though.

For candidates you don't like, for candidates that promise them bread and circuses.

Isn't living in a republic hard, libtard? :( Turns out SHITTING ON THE ELECTORATE isn't a good way to get votes. :)

Yeah. Which is why democracy is a shitty idea.

Nietzsche went mad and so should you, for madness is the only realm where you get your desires without harming another.

>>2105198
>without harming another.
Is that supposed to be something I should care about?

>>2104972
enriching the 1%
But anon, that was the point of America since day 1.

>EVERYONE IS THE SAME! COUNTRIES DON'T EXIST! THERE'S ONLY ONE RACE: THE HUMAN RACE! IT'S OKAY IF THE ELITE GET RICH OFF OF PAYING CHINKS 4c A DAY BECAUSE THEY'RE ~EQUAL~ TO US (EXCEPT IN PAYMENT LOOOOOOOOOOOOL)

Equality is the exact opposite of what I'm getting at.

Why do politifags think they get justification for this? Without a timestamped picture you're nothing more than another lame, genetic, pasty faced permavirgin approaching wizard status - and incapable of harming dick.

Kinda like Nietzsche himself, really. :))))) It's always the powerless who hype themselves up on the Will to Power, isn't it?

>>2105279
> It's always the powerless who hype themselves up on the Will to Power, isn't it?
Well, yeah.

If you've always been happy and successful in life you're not going to be very interested in self-overcoming. As a matter of fact in order to be Nietzschean first being a feeble and miserable loser is pretty much mandatory.

>>2105264
>t. neoliberals
They don't push for that type of equality and are quite fine with various types of inequality. The elites today exhibit similar behavior as those before them, the only major difference is they can now work on a transnational scale which for some reason pisses people off.

>>2104977
Actually, only the powerful need to ask this.

>>2105319
Good point.

Are you fucking serious?

People that live on benefits in the USA have a standard of living that would be above average in many countries. Who do you think pays for that?

>>2105576
>welfare state = quality of life.

This Is the problem.

>>2105576
>Who do you think pays for that?

third world countries

>>2105576
>Who do you think pays for that?

Middle and working class Americans.
