Time: "Marxism identified Jews as an enemy deserving liquidation." by relay in c/worldnews@lemmygrad.ml

[-] relay@lemmygrad.ml 51 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

We are idealists that refuse to understand there is a difference between Jewish people as a whole and the modern state of Israel.

These awful Marxists look at the material reality of the bombed hospitals and wonton destruction of civilian infrastructure, but they need to understand something more important than the real life destruction of human life.

These truths are:

Antisemitism = bad

Jews = Israel

Antisemitism = being against Jews

therefore being against Israel = antisemitism

Thus, when Marxists oppose Israel's bombings = antisemitism

If you state the minor detail that not all Jewish people are not supportive of all of the actions of the state of Israel, we'll dismiss it as irrelevant. Because our idealized concepts are more important than the consequences of following through on those actions.

Why do they believe that a massacre can be covered up and people will just go with it? Why do they think conspiracies can be covered up so much that there is no evidence and then cite the lack of evidence as some sort of evidence.

Don't they have anything better to do when losing a war?

If Russia wins in Ukraine, the US may be stretched so thin it would leave the door wide open for China, war analysts warn by relay in c/ukraine_war_news@lemmygrad.ml

Don't they understand that the US already gave China everything that it needs to thrive? All of their current political objectives can be accomplished without invading a dying empire. They don't need to be the perfect trading partner, just better than the US/EU. They have developed their productive forces to be a high quality goods manufacturer.

How do you guys deal with impotent rage? (inv.zzls.xyz)

My question is related to this video.

I'm a first worlder living in the imperial core.

I've developed some internal theory to do some praxis for the movement, but I find it so hard to move forward due to intrusive thoughts on how complacent my useless coworkers are. They are the productive part of the company and joke about unionizing because they are noticing their increased exploitation, but they won't do it. They also make fun of trans people and blame racial minorities for their criminalization in the "personal responsibility" kind of manner. Any means of trying to reason with them goes in one ear and out the other. I loathe being around them, but I have difficulty getting around thought spirals and ruminations around them. I've given up hope of doing anything meaningful with these losers than help each other collect a paycheck. I have no means of getting them fired, don't want to give out too much info. I stick around because I can collect a paycheck with minimal oversight.

I'm disturbed by so many people's use of the phrase "it is what it is" around the rot of the social services of this country that is clearly going against their own interest. It seems nonsensical to me that so many people laugh and are complacent in the destruction around them because they are temporarily isolated from it.

I want to do some praxis but I'm just too enraged and depressed being surrounded by these people that love their bigotry but would hate to do anything to liberate themselves. How would you suggest containing my rage filled ruminations appropriately so that I can perform my praxis?

This is a video about people fake news on social media (inv.tux.pizza)

I do admit that I think how social media works is to presume anything you hear on facebook or shitter as false unless proven otherwise.

Does anyone here think they have a good heuristic to determine if anything on a social media website is true? Can we progress dialectically towards the truth with social media or does the system motivate liars to double down on falsehoods? If it were possible for us to own social media can social media be made to encourage truth telling and punish liars?

I guess this is the limitations of the UAF's ability to train people. Towards what end are these kids getting conscripted? What good is resistance to the Russians for the people of present day Ukraine? More bodies stacked up, but what is the reason? How is Ukraine worth all of this loss of human lives?

Has anyone else seen this goofy anime and thought about how the 3 factions resemble fascism liberalism and communism? (lemmygrad.ml)

Planet With is only 12 episodes long, reminds me of Gurren Lagaan, but has 3 factions with 3 philosophies instead of 2. Unlike many other anime nowadays it is wrapped up at the end pretty well.

so, they think that all of the communists are western ethnic minority incels? I won't deny that a portion of us may fit that profile, but that seems to be ignoring actual communist movements outside of the imperial core.

When tenants unions are not possible, I guess the alternative is individualist adventurism. This is good news to indicate that the material conditions are getting bad enough that individuals are inadvertantly doing propaganda of the deed. The poor woman probably attacked this landlord's genitals because he could very well have been asking for sexual favors when she couldn't pay rent.

from Chapter 12 of Machiavelli's The Prince

"The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way."
