Hundreds of dwarves in China have chosen to live in a special mountain commune all their own, where residents must be less than four feet three inches tall to stay. They’ve their own fire brigade and police department, and now, to help bring in money during a stalled economy, they’ve started a little-people-themed amusement park all their own. Visitors can pay a fee to stroll amongst specially-built mushroom houses and interact with residents, who have begun living and dressing like fairy-tale characters.
That’s just the thing about capitalism. It offers the illusion of freedom, but those without money are still at the mercy of those with money. Little Person Land is just a really crass demonstration of how beholden working people are to the system.
The Chinese government adopted capitalism in everything but name years ago. Way to go with the having no clue how the most populous country in the world is run, kids.
I nominate this for “Most Hilarious Thread of the Month”. I know its only the 2nd, but this one will be hard to beat. Poor downtrodden Chinese dwarfs forced to live in little mushroom houses and dance and sing for their evil capitalist masters!!!
If you search for cockaigne I am sorry we all are born on the wrong side of the universe. On planet earth there is no such thing as free lunch for all, someone has to produce the things that cna be consumed, and, even worse, humans do not have those tiny critters that do all the work of producing for them. So, we gotta do it by ourselves, even if we are dwarfs or chinese or 30 year old kids that still believe the water originates from the tap, the meat is magically brought to existence by McDonalds and the state is the big daddy that has to feed us all (whom is he enslaving to nurture to your lifestyle?)
Personally I think a dwarf city makes a lot of sense. So would an enclave for blind people. Trying to beat everyone down the same mold just makes everyone miserable.
It’s telling how much hate that generates with egalitarians.
OK so these people decided on their own to create their own town- and then decided on their own that they will create an attraction to bring joy, curiousity, and happiness in others in exchange for some money. Why do you have a problem with that? Why don’t you just let people do what they like to do and stop painting it as if they were “Forced” to do it because the evil force of “capitalism.” Why don’t you GO AND ASK THEM about it, I’m sure they’ll tell you that they’re just having a good time and you need to go do something productive.
