yeah, i noticed that too, but i think he was trying to get at the fact that its the government that facilitatesthe pleasure in brave new world. in our society, it's more of the corporations that feed into consumerism

It points out the pitfalls and things to avoid. A decentralized government is a lot easier to achieve in a constitutional Republic. Your point is low IQ. Are you a Marxist?

You’re wrong

​@@cdub4693 as a patriot you gotta see how corrupt the gov is

It’s also Boomer sexual liberation culture. People try to normalize lower pleasures and that was propagated by the boomers

He had to throw the liberal in there lol

It actually does because thats what a democracy is

@@RoflcopterLamoIt’s a critique of capitalism and consumer culture

​@@Honeydewpanda ita a critique of you liberals, hypocrites ypu defend everything you are against

​@@Honeydewpandaauthoritarians always project superficial antiauthoritarianism to moralize their worldview. It's how conservatives can read anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian books written by democratic socialists like George Orwell and think it's somehow critiquing progressive thought.

​@@HoneydewpandaWhat a dense take... Its actually a critique on what happens when you remove the underpinnings of religion from a society hence the 'T' severed head of the cross, and elimination of the 'father'. Theres no denouncement of 'capitalism' (which is an amoral neutral organically derived system, completely subject to the moral values of its participants... it is among 'the science' huxley references, it can be good or bad), if anything its actually communism ...communism being a manufactured system, executed in the only manner with which its possible: with slave conditioning - because people will inexorably not accept 'their role'. (A system which can also only leverage previous advents of value creation, then subsequently transhumanize all processes -including ourselves, lest revolt occur among a non-'pacified' populace) ...hence huxleys parallels to transhumanistic assembly line concepts. 'ford' is the advent of this. streamlining which undermines human value efforts in favor of max production, all the satiation of 'result' -none of the effort, and all only built as a result of the initial humanistic, progenitive investment... removing the head in favor of materialist gears, as it were.) And rampant consumerism is actually a symptom of godless society, not capitalism. Religion teaches a 'fallen state' conception as less than god (bnw is what you get when you play god and arbit as such) and also teaches, in light of this conception, to abstain from the indulgences of the material world, to fast and sacrifice that which is expedient for a more absolute, yet unrealized, greater good/conception. A good beyond that of immediately satiated material desires. To 'mend' and be reborn and transcend your state. As opposed to consuming anew. Remove this, and people have no check against their insatiable desires. They consume, they see no reason for moral adherences, and will not abstain from indulging in less than moral vices, for vice makes them 'happy'. Now. And if the 'now' becomes an issue, we eliminate references to time and notions of aging. We will 'end' such concepts. If desires are buttressed against other's desires, we socially condition acceptance. They will seek flatten the world of its meaning and values as a result, the fluctuations, the passions. For the desire (for vice or otherwise) shall not be judged. To eliminate the constraining force of ascribing(ed) value all together. For value means disparity, disparity means scarcity, and scarcity means strife, strife being antithetical to unbridled happiness. These 'values' make people feel the shame, then they flatten it with soma. As opposed to confronting the shame inherent in riding the waves of a fallen/scarce/lesser state. Good and bad become nothing. There is only well pacified happiness. And without the pacification, only cyclical degeneracy. Also, consumerism and capitalism are actually 2 distinct concepts that are motivated independent of one another, not one being inherent in the other like you think they are. And the reason for this is moral choice -which subsequently destroys the correlation you think it has.

This comment. But liberalism, today, is facilitating technocracy, so technically Ben is right in what he says. Notice he how he says 'liberal' democracy, that's not the same as just flat out saying democracy. You can be a conservative demo, and a liberal republican.

But it presupposes a democratic process to that end. It actually flat out states that the system in places was arrived at *because* of the flaws in an ultra-democratic society. When everyone just prioritizes their wants and has the option to leave struggle and displeasure and hard work to the government, that’s exactly what they will vote for.

Yes. Getting harder to tell tell.
