Yes, Marx definitely wrote a lot about “western chauvinism.” Perhaps you mean “social chauvinism?” Because it’s definitely very confusing language for the under studied. Perhaps you should pick up some German language.
Again, I just can’t help but be struck by the stark chasm between this liturgical internet “leftism,” which seems confused between the principals of pragmatic worker liberation, versus the fantasy that Lenin’s autocracy ever achieved anything noteworthy. But I guess populist fan service gets engagement, so who cares about results, right?
I don’t see it as left punching as much as calling out campists and .ml mods. I see it as holding up actual leftist values rather than forming a political philosophy around relitigating the cold war. I have never defended Israel, I have called out the issue with religious fundamentalism in this conflict. I have and will continue to call Israel an apartheid state.
Like I said, MLs literally cannot imagine the existence of political theory after 1924.
Also, my account is at least 5% femboy worship. At least do your homework.
I mean we have seen how the Lemmy devs approach certain topics, and it is definitely not with a preference for openness or free exchange of ideas. There are certain topics here which have a hair trigger for content removal and bans, for extremely petty and minor “transgressions,” so the motivation here seems pretty transparent.
Based on how …certain… Lemmy instances have handled themselves, the intention to deal with “Wikipedia content moderation” here is almost certainly not to make a freer version of Wikipedia, but to make heavily censored content enclaves with the same obvious editorial restrictions concerning certain topics you find on certain large instances.
Honestly if the RNC had just put its foot down in 2016 and said “no, we will not be associated with Trump because the man is a fucking idiot” they would have eaten the loss in 2016, but would probably be in a much better place electorally now.
Right, the entire point was to make their fake border crisis seem legitimate by placing it in the same rhetorical box as a genocide in Ukraine. And super Saiyan Biden called their bluff like a boss.
I mean I legitimately do understand why you’d be so upset if you really believe nothing has changed in 200 years. Because you’d have to be pretty fucking stupid and that shit hurts.
And this has been happening for as long as human history has been written down. If you study anthropology, literally the first thing they teach you is that every generation of humans has said the same thing, to the point where some of the earliest written history we have is basically some version of this exact post.
Yet now I shit in a climate controlled box with no predators around.
I think about how things actually were 50 years ago, and how every generation since the dawn of written history has the same exact end times mythology and then correctly conclude that I am merely suffering from the same delusion as nearly every human prior to me.
Well, at least absent a secular awakening in the middle east. And that is the real issue here in my view, and I’m not sure why so many people seem to be giving a pass to the extremist elephant in the room here.
I’ll let my partner know that you think they are a fetish. They’ll get a kick out of it. If I was you I’d probably find your comment offensive.
