          okay so what is your defense of keeping them if it's a bad idea to present the fact that those who would down vote something/have been down voted have some kind of flawed ideology? why have a fucking currency here?

              flawed ideologies lead to a fuckton of bad consequences. to me, that shit could be defined as pathetic. my ideology can definitely be gauged with fucking tangible numbers if the ideologies being compared are "humans suck" and "humans are the most amazing thing ever."

                  i'm mad that people pretend that by participating in capitalism that they are exempt because they know it's horrible.

                    Now make peace with that somewhere else because you're not going to be changing anything about your complaint the way things are going.

              it's not about monetary value, value in itself is assigned by humans. what the fuck is the point of the fucking number then?

                    you should research metaphysical materialism, you might find it more coherent than what ever your “ideology,” as you say, is now

        I agree, the point of quantifying human thought is to control it from the top down. The fact that chapeaux dot cat has voting despite it reenforcing the kind of hierarchies socialists fight so hard against proves Marx's thesis that "the lower phase of communism ... [will be] stamped with the mark of the old."
