THIS IS OUR FUTURE UNDER EQUALITY

Kurt Vonnegut, 2081 depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th Amendment to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is "finally equal…." The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything.

Wew. That said, the government and media are going 1984, the entertainment industry is trying to usher us into Brave New World, and sjws and feminists are shooting for Harrison Bergeron to complete the trifecta. This is why we have to stop this on all levels.

Vonnegut was a socialist. So was Orwell for that matter

Vonnegut was based as fuck.

The sort story was actually an anti-rightist screed in which Vonnegut tried to portray the fears of the right as ridiculous.

fuck yes harrison bergeron

I watched this a couple months ago and shared it with some friends in an attempt to redpill them, but nobody watched it :(

I can't wait for Hillary to declare an United States Privilege general, the political correctness police, and the department of social justice.

oh that's not even the full movie dude, it's just a clip. here: https:// vimeo.co m/74829766

Well if that's true, backfire if I've ever see one

One thing always bothered me about this. The weights would just make the strong stronger. Thus increasing the weights exponentially, or causing the individuals heart to give out. Either way not really serving equality or whatever. Also the masks would protect the beautiful, causing them to remain beautiful.

Also heres the pdf. It's a really short story, just fucking read it.

Are you that user who read it in class and then everybody started saying the only people who wouldn't like the story would be those against equality?
I see more "A Brave World", on sexual shit we're like a decade behind but we're getting there.

Im your friend Ill watch it bud

You're making them sad. Here take some soma, it'll cheer your up.

By this logic, shouldn't the obese be the strongest people among us? Lifting weights only makes us stronger because we can put them down, you know, that time called the recovery period?

Fat fucks generally have very strong legs. You'd know if you ever had to hold them down.

...

I did first come across it in class but it we didn't really talk about it sadly. I did a lot of research into it on my own since I liked it so much. It's a really good story, both on technical terms and thematic quality.

But user, this is exactly what is happening. Those who champion equality almost never bring realistic ideas for how to achieve it; they don't adhere to making objective reality better but try to rape people's perception.

For example, instead of using eugenics and genetic engineering to raise the IQ of niggers, they make universities accept dumb niggers and make it socially unacceptable for you to call niggers on their retardness.

Orwell was hard to classify. He fought with the anarchists in Spain, and grew to hate the communists and most leftists after they basically cosigned the brutality of the soviets. Really he was a guy with a strong sense of justice (the real kind, not the kind faggoty sjws whine about) who was skeptical of authority.

In many ways it reflects the idiocy of liberals. They are content with the symbolism of an action disregarding it's actual function. If they cared for function and thus practicality, that could accidentally reveal their depths of their own self-deception. This is why sjws are always trying to cover this up and push their own view onto the world and why they have such an adherence to the concept of narrative over truth. The truth means nothing to them. The narrative is all that matters.

You see we can make those connections but maybe not other people.

Maybe I'm expecting too much out of a short story.

Anyone got a pirate copy?

It costs $132 on amazon oy vey

True but it is fun to talk about and explain to people. I've been able to convince some of my more hipster friends of things using this and their desire to appear like an intellectual.

Full version for you faggots

Liberal satire always seems to backfire. Harrison Bergeron, Starship Troopers, both were there to make fun of the "right wing extremists". Both end up getting adopted by the right to prove their points.

That's because the left is self-deceiving and unable to perceive allegory or hyperbole for the deeper message, nor are they able to distance themselves intellectually from these issues - their entire worldview is based on conceited manipulation of emotions and fighting of principles that the right espouses and defends.
You cannot ridicule those principles though because those principles are self-consistent, virtuous and in harmony with both human nature and the world as it is at large.

the story is much better

text story

Are you illiterate?

just muscles related to walking, unless they're bedridden. my fatass friend has massive calfs of iron. rest of him is weaker than my DYEL ass.

Neat thing about the book Starship Troopers, is that it was meant to be a form of militaristic nationalism, and it was distinctly anti-communist, even deriding Marx himself on a very fundamental level. Unfortunately it pushed the racial equality idea nearing the end, but overall a pretty based book.
And if Duterte has shown us anything it's that Filipinos are perfectly capable at military work :^)

How fucking retarded he was?

He was leftwing.

but guiz

it's about equality of opportunity

not equality of outcome

Well, Harrison was very strong.

All human lives have inherent value, right? And all should be equal in the basic rights granted to them. But equality of opportunity means dealing with unfair advantages, does it not? Just being equal before the eyes of the law does little to alleviate this - the wealthy are born in better circumstances, so we need to lift up the kids of the poor so they have a chance to compete, is it not so? I mean, if certain groups are statistically under-achieving it means there must exist some unfair disadvantage going on - so if we really want them to have equal opportunities, something must be done about it, no?
Marxism is literally just the logical conclusion of liberal humanist thought. Equality of opportunity becomes equality of outcome as n tends to infinity

checked

thanks user

should be required Holla Forums watching imo (it's not even half an hour long there's no excuse not to)

Here's how you counter that. I'm paraphrasing a lot of this from Moldbug:

You assume a priori that humans are neurologically identical, which is just simply not the case. Human beings are not genetically or neurologically uniform, nor will they ever be. It was Albert Einstein who said we shouldn't judge fish by their bike-riding ability, and that is exactly what intellectuals have been trying to do with under-achieving minorities for decades.

Every year there are about 250 African-Americans who score over 750 on the SAT-M. I assure you that none of these people has much difficulty getting into MIT or from there to Facebook. Society has put a lot of energy into removing any barriers that might be in their way. To say the least. Frankly, I care a lot more about the under-achievers, and there are certainly a lot more of them.

Here are two things that don’t help under-achieving minorities:


Or: >“You’ll never get anywhere because your racist algebra tests are racist.”

Here is one other thing that *really* doesn’t help under-achieving minorities:


If we acknowledged that people's intellectual abilities are what they are, and cannot be magically changed into the intellectual abilities of, say, a Jewish math nerd, we would have to acknowledge that either we put under-achieving minorities in prison (there are about as many black males today in the “involuntary servitude” of prison, as actual slaves in 1860), or we find a way to build a society in which there is a viable, human, economic role for them. By not actually thinking about this problem in real-world terms, we end up with mass incarceration and the destruction of African-American society.

Oh, and Pic fucking related - I encourage this face to be made at any bleeding-heart, pathologically-altruistic liberal FUCK who pushes HNU. THEY have ruined the black community in America, and are deserve nothing but our utmost contempt.

Honestly they've been perusing a soft version of handicap equality for years.

Shitlibs will point out that the book was originally meant to mock the rights characterization of the equality movements, it has however become an accurate satire in the light of the body positivity movement etc.

...

I read the short story when an user posted it in another thread a while back. It was a pretty good prediction of where the SJW egalitarianism/privilege movement would eventually take people if it were allowed to continue.

I finished reading 'Camp of the Saints' a while ago, and it's by far the most prophetic work I've read - greater than 1984 even. I can't really overstate how accurate Jean Raspail was when he wrote this book.

this spurred me to look for a story about major henry rathbone that may have been a lie. He was present when Lincoln was shot and went crazy afterwards and was committed. I had heard he flexed when they put the straight jacket on or something and was able to get out of it easier.

The weights making a person stronger in a useful sense may be over-estimated as they still have to operate constantly with that dead weight.


it is hard to tell. vonnegut's wicked sense of humor is what keeps me liking him even though he was pretty gosh darn liberal. I've read some of his letters and more private and intimate works in a couple different compilations, morally he seemed like a good person to me although my memories of it are fuzzy.


pretty (((public))) campus.


I really like what you said tbh it's really resonant. The issue with migrant workers is really just how it goes down with seemingly just a wink and a nod. I know most government contractors are probably pretty good at making sure if they have migrant workers they have the right papers and everything is on the level but other than it's a joke as far as enforcement goes, OSHA cares more about making sure you have three cables on (which is important don't get me wrong) than doing that and they're probably the only federal agency actively monitoring that shit anyway.

And it's just an arms race for private business to try to stay ahead of each other because of how it is not enforced. They can cut some corners on bids and budgets with it and get another job on the fiscal year good for them, but long term thinking like this paired with equal opportunity being enforced on several levels, and increasing automation our economy really is bleeding jobs which is largely ignored. If I could just be a nurse I know I could find more effective and gainful employment but I really am not cut out for it. I kinda wanna be a sassy black nurse like Delores from Diagnosis Murder.

Thanks. Source is here: archive.is/TBD1y The part I paraphrased is in the comments.

Moldbug gets a bad rap from Holla Forums for not being anti-semitic (he's not exactly pro-semitic either, mind you), but he has a LOT of good material out there.

We literally had a debate in our class where most people said that BNW was a good outcome. I was the only one that disagreed…

...

That is a good movie. I feel sorry for the lobotomized woman. ;_;

waste of trips.

It shouldn't be so difficult in a civilized country. You just kill the low iq african americans (99% of the normal distribution), and keep the rest. Wait four years, again kill the stupidest, keep the rest. Rinse, repeat many generations.

In my opinion it would take some 10 generations or so.
The real problem is politicians without balls and ((( UN ))) crying about humanitarian disaster, similar to Duterte's actions.

Orwell was also clearly not very smart because despite being a self proclaimed socialist and claiming that the 1984 depicts a fascist society, anyone who has read the book can tell it is a communist society.

It literally is a Stalinist society. People don't even get shoes any other way than rationed by the government. It's a socialist nightmare. So why was Orwell unable to see that this nightmare he wrote was socialism.

Maybe he did not study long and hard.

Hitler was a socalist

I remember reading this short story as a kid and couldn't remember the name for the life of me despite it becoming more relevant every day. Thanks for posting that, the future we live in is increasingly becoming more dystopian.

>>>/reddit/

Fun fact: this film was financed by the Koch Brothers–check out the Executive Producer credit.

Or sterilize them. Takes longer but more politically viable.

no you're wrong Germany was the facist why Russia was the communist . Hitler didn't push for equality Communist did.

Remember, lads.

Democracy makes Rumanian citizens out of millions of Jews by making them the Rumanians' equals. By giving them the same legal rights. Equality? What for? We have been here for thousands of years. Plow and weapon in hand. With our labors and blood. Why equality with those who have been here for only one hundred, ten, or even five years? Let's look at the past: We created this state. Let's look at the future: We Rumanians are fully responsible for Greater Rumania. They have nothing to do with it. What could be the responsibility of Jews, in the history books, for the disappearance of the Rumanian state? Thus: no equality in labor, sacrifice, and struggle for the creation of the state and no equal responsibility for its future. Equality? According to an old maxim: Equality is to treat unequally the unequal. What are the reasons for the Jews' demanding equal treatment, equal political rights with the Rumanians?
- Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

You realise that (((Vonnegut))) was a Kike, right?
His writings are pretty based, and you should read them, but remember that, please.
I prefer Orwell, who was a Leftist Socialist who realised the problems with Socialism while he was a part of it.

We don't want intelligent niggers, you dense motherfucker. All that means is a more intelligent enemy capable of destroying us. It is in our interest to get rid of them, not make them more evolutionary competitive.

BASED.
Speaking of Romania, Vee is on with Sargon right now–let's flood them with Codreanu comments and make him address the (((QUESTION))).

He was a corporatist, the Socialist part of National Socialist was just a buzzword

Let's do it.

Isn't National Socialism closer to the original context of the word before the term got appropriated by marxist and egalitarian scum?

This.

But it got appropriated much before Hitler's time

it would be easier to just gass 16 gorillion of them user.
Why would you want to save the .001 percent of niggers who deserve to be alive?
then those really smart niggers would just hate the shit out of you for genociding their people.
I hope you just have some disgusting fetish for black pussy and arent as retarded as your post makesyou out to be
