Anti-migrant racism is strong in these comments. It is amazing how easily people who consider themselves left-wing turn to racism when it helps them politically.

I hope you are aware of how racist it is to call someone degenerate because they live in a certain country.

"Close them down, nothing of value in Russia at the moment". while talking about closing borders for Russian refugees. Hardly can be interpreted any other way then talking about human lives. But maybe you didn't know article was about migration, but by title alone assumed it was just sanctions.

I agree. Thank you then for your explaining. Sorry for misinterpreting your comment.

Are you saying that there is no value in human life if it is someone that lives in Russia?

This is how Trump won in the first place, wikileaks published emails of Hilary's campaign doing this. Instead of critisizing her for being responsible for Trump, democrats blamed Russia and attecked Wikileaks as Russian spies, literally called for shooting the messenger.

This is a prime example of why voting for lesser evil is not a tactic in politics and the whole liberal ideology as whole that we just need to vote for right people, instead of removing powerful positions in government in the first place.

Spain was run without government during anarchist revolution in 20th century and their production and technological advancement increased, since there was no one on the top taking all the profits that otherwise would be used for investing in the community and industry. Quality of life is always better in free societies, then when you have to listen to your boss, work long hours and struggle to pay the bills. As far as I know, once Europen children were raised in native amercian egalitarian societies, they would never want to go back to cities and work long hours under someone else's rule.

I don't know much about Amish, but I got the feeling that they are patriarchal society, which is exactly the opposite of a free anarchist society where no one rules over anyone else.

I tried posting a transcript of this video to politics@lemmy.world community, but the mod banned me.

A good youtube channel with a lot of well-defined political terms and human history of decision making

That is simply not true. There is a good video about it, but you can also look it up yourself. The term is egalitarian societies and antrhopologists in last 50 years discovered a bunch of currently living tribes with such structures as well as found much of evidence that before agriculture that was the norm.

The workers in those post offices are the one that run the post office, bottom up structure. In Spain during anarchist revolution, people were running every part of society in this manner without appointed leaders: factories, banks, military. And they were doing great. Turns out when you don't have someone at the top leaching all the profits, it ends up pretty profitable for the workers and job becomes a lot easier to do. You can look up anrho-sindicalist war in Spain in 20th century if you don't believe me.

This type of actions are done on purpose to blurry the line between civilians and army so no one knows who is who. Everyone is paranoid so hamas kills more civilans, so Israel government can kill more civilans in retribution. Over all, Isriaelly goverment will win, since they are backed by US and they will take over all the land from Palestinians.

In my experience with regular everyday xenophobes, if you simply say that the only thing that is important to you is that somebody is a good person and all else doesn't matter, almost everyone will agree.

Fighting is usually counter-prodactive, most people aren't crazy, they just might be focused on unimportant things. Simply calm people down and bring focus on important issues, such as worker rights, corruption, self-organizing. Don't waste your time debating who should be allowed to participate in which sport competition.
