  • Is it fair to hate slavers? Or is it only fair if they are actively enslaving people? /s

    At this point, it's obvious you're a bad faith actor here (and an incompetent one at that), but on the miniscule chance you aren't:

    It is as impossible to be a good person, and be a slaver as it is to be a billionaire and a good person.

    Both of those require active exploitation of people. You're just used to framing the exploitation in terms that don't make the exploitation clear for billionaires.

  • Jordanlund thinks that being a mod means that he, as a rightwing Portlander, knows more about Canada's political system then a Canadian.

    When called out with appropriate documentation after removing correct comments about Canada's political system proceeds to ignore the comment for 18 hours at the time of this post.

    I'm an admin for a different, non Lemmy platform, for about 3000 daily active users. I'd be embarrassed to have Jordanlund as a mod.

  • This comment is literally giving you the correct answer to the question you asked.

    I think centrist liberals lean on identity based politics hard so they don't have to engage with any material analysis of our society.

    And even I, reading your posts, am like 'That's filled with more red flags then Red Square in the 60s for right wing coded talking points to justify racism.

    If you use common bad faith right wing arguments, people will tune you out. If your arguments are close to those arguments and only separated by nuance, people will tune you out.

    Edit: People have limited time and attention. Expecting them to interact with you the way you demand, rather than how people are won't work well for you.

  • Actually, I'm not so sure of this. Part of the drive for the revolution was to allow colonists to 'settle' (steal) land that Britain had signed treaties over.

    The British empire was evil beyond description. The one thing they were good at that wasn't fully evil was environmental stewardship where that was required for profit. And the British empire viewed the unsettled lands as being a great source of beaver pelts.

  • You know, Putin's methods are the same as the US's when it comes to overthrowing elected governments, right?

    Apply leverage to an existing weak point.

    Try to make it undistinguishable from a legitimate reason.

    The problem, of course, is that none of this requires a Putin or a CIA to explain it. The actions of the health care industry is perfectly sufficient.

  • Okay, troll.

    You have answered no questions, and made no statements that can be falsified.

    Just insulted and took no position that could be shown wrong.

    You're just a troll, and a lazy one at that.

  • Who supported the Khmer Rouge?

    Who ended up fighting and ending the genocide?

    Who denied a genocide happened until the 80's, and continued funding the Khmer Rouge until the late 90's?

    These are all simple questions with simple, factual answers. You just don't like the picture the answers paint, and want to justify the intentional outcome of Kissinger's designs and blame the outcome on the victims.

    It sickens me to see people like the person I was replying to and yourself try and blame the people who were genocided for their genocide and to blame it on a economic ideology that had very little to do with the outcome.

  • ...

    Did you really blame a movement that basically existed for twenty years after relevance through US (and Chinese, interestingly enough) machinations and support, and was actually ousted by the communist Vietnamese, on a 'kill the oppressors' view?

    Jesus, capitalists will say and do everything to blame the consequences of their actions on everyone else.

  • Spoken like someone that hasn't paid attention to the supply chains of places like Walmart.

    We already have command economies. They exist and are functional. The owners are simply siphoning away the surplus value.
