When Money Isn’t About Money; Anti-Social Socializations and The Valuelessness of Wealth Tracking

We're Solving Society

“You’re weak, you can’t possibly beat us.” Never in my life did I ever think I would hear hypermasculine, social darwinist rhetoric spewing out of the mouth of USSR-informed rhetoricians; in the spinning gravitas of this bizarre pandemic, it seems that no synthesis is too grotesque to bear forth regardless. Even if one knows it is echoic, an attempt to get in front of it through mimicry, one can still be struck by the sheer negative aesthetic force lack of integrity can assail upon the mind.

Toward this point is the notion of policed, or enforced, socializations. In wealth building, one is taught that wealth accumulation is not the key principle, but wealth insurance and stability. Strong social networks are encouraged toward this point, and obviously for those who particularly want to attack wealth from a position of envy, rage, or retributive distribution cutting these social ties is enough to ensure the demise of both the historical stockpiling and the accumulation functions.

It is then that in wealth building social networks are encouraged, but not because any true bond or connection is issuing forth, but because it acts as an insurance against wealth cuts. By having multiple ways to diffuse and regain wealth across a network, longevity of wealth is ensured as opposed to simple mastery of accumulation tactics (mercenary techniques, offensive positions — anyone notice the increased military spending and its targeting of very weak but wealthy infrastructures? You know, sort of like trying to screw over an extremely gifted international child whose dad recently died?).

None of this is in anyway about love. It is the same person who marries a woman in good social credit because he has none of his own; it is the same person who marries because he does not want his career to fizzle out due to the social and abnormal financial signifier of lacking a strong marriage. His friendships, too, are about insurance — about social credit and potential paths for diffusion, relocation and attack. None of it is true socialization, it is financial socialization, and therefore its ties are weak and meaningless — nothing can be generated in a bilateral fashion from such empty and practical reconnaissance meant to simply buck up and accumulate resources. As with all loveless interactions, lack of production is the claim, cry and scream of the incoming force, but in truth its cause resides within its unattached void of meaningless comparative accumulation. Only one truly alien to the generative process would miss this obvious and key element of creativity — the genuine bond and tie.

In the same way, such descriptivist and proceduralist wealth accumulations can only describe wealth as if it exists ex nihilo, and its distributions are treated falsely as intelligences unto themselves. However, wealth accumulates and distributes in strange fashions resembling the circulations of the wealthiest. Where it may be, may not be where it remains. And where it generates may be able to afford its lack more than those places from which it can never come. As one evaluates and conspires to equate the social tie, the income, and the accumulation with wealth and to attack and appropriate these networks for oneself in a greedy and small-minded fashion, one misses the broader and more advanced constellation of generative, distributive, and accumulative gravities underlying. Such descriptive and proceduralist socializations are, in truth, the basics of sadistic and uniform societies — one of the greatest complaints we may have against the Nazi party.

So when, under socialist/communist and even Russian banners, one sees such flags flown with an unironic pride, it becomes a choice of the agent of whether it would be best to laugh or cry.

Synthesis is an art, and some people are out here calling up and manifesting what might be better described as boiling concoction of compacted self-obliteration.

Perhaps there truly was something to be said towards the point that not all art should be praised.
