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.

Ancient Aliens vibes.

"These savages had no contact with civilized Europeans at the time. It must have been an advanced alien civilization. Its too absurd to think these savages could have done it themselves"

All of this implies that China is a socialist leaning nation that is growing in industrial power that everyone wants to trade with.

I think it is strange that they think that China offering better deals in over-exploited nations to be less exploited is a threat to prosperity at home.

The profits of the large corporations would be impacted but delivering services could still function without hurting consumers if corporate profits are high enough.

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?

I can't imagine anyone doing this except for some sort of really crazy ritual magic with imperialist characteristics.

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.

Russia really did join China as a last resort.

A powerful country completely collapsing, but controlled by fascists with access to nukes is not a good outcome for the world.

I'd rather the United States decline in power to allow the workers from everywhere else have more opportunities to seize the means of production.

If people in the United States try to push the people in the socialist direction and not the fascist direction, they could seize power democratically. The fascists will act out like the monsters they are and it will be legally easy to suppress these ghouls.

the most devout anti-communists can't read.

People are self interested yes. Eliminating rent seeking behavior that is enabled by private property makes the social system harder to game for helping themselves at the cost societal good. Communists want to eliminate private property for this reason. Does this mean that all anti social behavior will be eliminated? No, but most crime is committed due to lack of economic opportunity. Politicians not doing what is in the interest of the people that elected them is often due to capitalist funded lobbying firms. Not having private property addresses those problems and other problems that are caused by those problems.

Will AI generated actors and AI voices with stories written by AI become the new standard of entertainment in the USA?

Most people don't want to face the truth of the propaganda in front of them. It is easy to believe what your state wants you to believe. or keep you in a box to talk about anything other than capitalism.
