"Negative Interest Rates" Are a Sign of Degeneracy and a Harbinger of the Decline of Modern Civilization

[Part-Time Chad]

No other generation in human history has ever dared to impose "negative interest rates". I don't think the concept even crossed their minds. Zero percent has always been universally respected as the absolute limit on how low interest rates can go.

But not to these spoiled, degenerate neo hippies that are currently running the western world.

No. These corrupted, depraved little narcissists grew up during the prosperity and good life that followed World War II. They were raised by indulgent parents, in comfy suburban mcmansions, and were never told 'no'. It's no surprise, then, that they these dipshits have a hard time following rules and abiding by the priciples of reality. They feel entitled to defy them. They're basically spoiled, petulant children, who want to run amok, and will throw a tantrum whenever they are restricted in any way. "Negative interest" rates give them the freedom to do just that, since there is no limit on how low you can sink interest rates once you remove the natural barrier of zero.

I can go on for pages about how these post-World War ii narcissists (Boomers, Gen-X, Millennials) have done the same thing with every other aspect of the culture, twisting, distorting and "reimagining" everything that crosses their path. They've basically been on a mission to destroy the natural order of things, which have stood for millennia, with horrible unintended consequences. But that would require more time and effort than I'm willing to give right now.

Have a nice day.

Oh, so the Lost Generation did the same thing? They weren't given their moniker for nothing, that's for sure.

Figures. Looks like anything that's beyond the level of a 105 I.Q. is summarily dismissed as a "schizo" post on this forum. Nice job.

There is no natural order to the economy and capitalism arose from feudal Europe well under a thousand years ago.

America’s monetary policy regime is less than 100 years old and is exactly what secured its post-war prosperity. It‘s only been 50 years since the end of Bretton Woods which severed ties between gold and USD, but reaffirmed global American economic hegemony through Saudi petrodollars.

It has nothing to do with the trashy opulence of spoiled suburban consumers, or any other generational uniqueness you so dramatically assess. Interest rate manipulation is a policy instrument that exists only within our incredibly young globalized economic order, it has nothing to do with the natural order of things. None of this does. The economy is just a system of social organization and therefore reflects social power. It is constantly in flux, between people, classes, nations.

It sounds like you’re applying some Retvrn to Tradition, primal instinct reductionism to the historical development of the global economy. Read a book and get off X.

It certainly does. In fact, one's behavior and outlook on life is greatly influenced by his upbringing and the cultural zeitgeist of their formative years. No other generation in history has acted quite like the last few, and that's mostly due to the mass media and technological era in which they grew up.

No generation in history has behaved like any other.

Yes, the computing, internet, biotechnology and petrochemical revolutions, along with mass media, consumer culture and corporate financialization have all made “the last few” a particular case. But your point would be clearer if you could connect any of those developments and their effects on this vague notion of “cultural zeitgeist,” to the downstream monetary policy effects of the post-2008 and Covid recoveries. Be more specific.

For example, you could say that rise of large asset management firms (Blackrock et al.) after 2008 have somehow accelerated the debasement of the US’s meaningless consumer culture by promoting the financial valorisation of big data tech firms which developed the advertising-driven social media environment and all its pernicious effects.

Instead you allow your dissatisfaction with our current society to be misguided into a reaction that longs for a vaguely defined past when things were better. What time period do you long for? The Vietnam war? No, in reality you want the life of the very same spoiled white picket fence boomer you deride, despite knowing that lifestyle is inherently unstable, and was the cause your current complaints. Politicians love guys like you.

 

[Part-Time Chad]

What time period do you long for?

I think now would be the best era in history, if it weren't for the deviants (who used to be confined to the fringe, btw) who are now running society and distorting every aspect of it with their aberrant values. Shame on you if you can't see how this negatively impacts your life.

lol nice hollow boogieman
Do you find this lack of precision comforting when assigning blame for why your life (or the world, for that matter) is shit?

Save yourself the effort of bringing up nuanced topics like interest rates if you’re just trying to whine about ambiguous evils. It’s okay, you are very smart and it’s nothing is your fault. Got it all figured out.

Hollow boogieman? Lol, you're either very young, and have a limited frame of reference, or you've been living under a rock to make a statement like that.

As far as "nuanced topics like interest rates" are concerned, I specifically said at the end of my post that I can fill pages with many other examples of how the present generational constellation has broken with hundreds of years of precedent on many other things. In fact, I may do that someday and post it here to present a more comprehensive case, not that anyone here would understand or appreciate it.

Deviants simultaneously running society and distorting every aspect of it with their “aberrant” values. Come on…

Try giving an ounce of specificity. You are making vague claims and repeatedly saying you can “fill pages” with examples.

Post one or gtfo.

Inb4 gay agenda, Jews, X or Y political party… you said deviants w/o morals who simultaneously run society. Let’s hear your grand theory.

Zoomers do this too 2bh, just look at the genderfluid LGBT shit

 

[i hear voices]

I love this, i made a thread similar, older generations exploited the younger generations and now we have to deal with the consequences of those decisions. Literally every single problem that exists with GenZ and gen alpha is because of how exploited they have become

social media companies turning them into zombies, food conglomerates fattening them up, medication for problems that can be solved in better ways, addictive substances advertised to these kids. and guess WHOS fault it is according to the boomers? the kids themselves

All the old people do is hold up real estate and suck people dry with social security payments, I could honestly give negative fucks if a new virus just started killing old people again

-Broken families (now fashionably called "single-parent households", LOL). Many of the children of these fatherless homes grow up to become delinquents without the guidance and discipline provided by a male authority figure.

- Gay "marriage", which makes a mockery of the once-sacred vows that heterosexual couples used to take.

- Rampant crime in inner cities, that is supported (for the first time in history, I might add), by degenerate DAs, city council members, and state senators, who trip over themselves to pass lenient laws to protect thugs.

- "Legal" marijuana in blue states (in defiance of federal law). Don't get me started on how this obnoxious drug has polluted many a city across the country.

- Illegal aliens flooding across the border by the millions, and sponging off of taxpayers. Great gig, if you can get it.

- Grooming kids in schools with depraved, woke nonsense, such as "transgenderism".

- Spoiled, mentally ill narcissists now "identifying" as whatever they want, whenever they want, and being taken seriously by adults. We used to institutionalize people like this. Now, we celebrate them.

I can go on and on. C'mon, man. Ya gotta make me work so hard by pretending you've been living under a coral reef the last 20 years?

Not only do Zoomers do this, they're even worse than their predecessors. The only reason I didn't include them is because they're not old enough to be in positions of influence or power yet.

Retarded whiner is blind to the political reality of our times.

Trump and Vance are going to win, so every point you mention is a mainstream political view in the national capital of the worldwide economy. These are winning opinions in the most powerful country in the world. It’s next leader agrees 100% so why are you still whining?

How the hell am I "blind" to the political reality of our times, when I already said that the post-World War ii generations are deviant by historical standards (including Trump and Vance)?

It's more like I'm woke to the (dismal) political reality of our times. I would've been "blind" if I wasn't aware of what's going on.

But the more important question is, why the fuck are you not wholeheartedly agreeing with the points I made in my last post?? Only a degenerate would dismiss what I pointed out and accept it as normal. If you condone that shit, then you're part of the problem, and you obviously do, or you wouldn't characterize it as "whining", like a retarded normie, who loses an argument and resorts to shaming tactics to shut down the debate.

Have a nice day.

if interest rates are -1% and i have 1,000,000, I lose 10k but the supply of the currency goes down by that -1%.

if rates are 1% and i have 1,000,000, i gain 10k but the supply of currency inflated/devalues by 1%.
basically null difference at current year debt levels, interest rates are placebo in 2024

 

[Akhi]

we dont have negative key interest rates anywhere in the first world
