>Working hard, not blaming others, working on your faults, seizing the day

This is how successful people operate in any time period in history. Successful cavemen were doing this shit. You sound like a faggot OP

>if only the form of government was changed then maybe I wouldn't have to improve myself

Well yeah, that's always going to be the recipe to obtain power and survive.

I'm just wondering when we all decided that survival is the same thing as virtue. I mean this sort of "virtue" would recommend going along with a fascist takeover of your country. Which means that having Nazis as an example of bad people is a sort of hysterical hypocrisy.

It's the result of Calvinist Protestant work ethic culture combined with rampant, unbridled greed. When tempered with charity and generosity, it actually leads to immense physical and human capital development without crushing the poor underfoot. Corporations have corrupted it to convince ordinary Americans that the poor deserve to be where they are by playing a card that is so ingrained in their economic ideology, it's difficult to combat without sounding like pinko commie who wants to hand out gibs.

Well OP all those things sound like virtue according to this first definition to me.

But do they? I mean if fascists took over your country, and you hated them so you fought against them, wouldn't that be an example of blaming others instead of changing yourself? Surely a "virtuous" person under capitalism should just adapt to the new situation. You know, "get a job" instead of "whining". Like, a job killing Jews.

Why the fuck are you so obsessed with fascism and jews? You have 4000 years of history in accordance with virtue and morals, why are you so obsessed with a brief not even 20 year timeline?

You sound like you're just trying to push some shitty agenda desu. Go back to leftypol or wherever the fuck you came from, this is a history board
