  • Marx was the third ever sociologist, the first being Weber and the second I always forget his name. But this is historically attested to, it's not something I just pulled out of my ass lol

  • European Jews were not considered white before and during WW2. Whiteness has always changed with whatever we needed it to be for political reasons. The Irish were not considered white. In South Africa during Apartheid, a Japanese national was forbidden by a bus driver from entering a whites-only bus because the driver thought he was Chinese. The man sued and won against the driver as the Japanese were considered white and allowed to board segregated buses.

  • Fun fact: did you know the ICC has only ever prosecuted African nationals since its inception in 2002?

  • The point is that you are unwilling to even engage with the idea that Russia seeks to eliminate Ukrainian identity

    Is that like a litmus test? Next time I'm ordering pizza I'll ask the restaurant if they are willing to engage with the idea that Russia seeks to eliminate Ukrainian identity.

    Literally no idea why you brought that up again lol

  • Okay so no evidence Hexbear or Lemmygrad have denied genocides?

  • A correction: Lemmygrad and Hexbear are two different instances, and it's an oversimplification to lump them in together. Lemmygrad does not defederate from any real instance, we have possibly one of the smallest block lists of any bigger instances.

  • Capital is a thesis on economy, why would it help you on politics?

    Surely you'd know what it's about if you've read it.

  • It's funny how fascists always leave out the part that actually gets them called a fascist, isn't it?

  • Marxism is relevant to everything through dialectics, which was synthesized by Hegel first. Also the emoji size is a quirk of Lemmy, all custom emojis take up their original size on other instances regardless of which instance it comes from.

  • I'm not sure they do. I think they really see themselves as being above the US and not the other way around. Not being helped when the administration gives them the thumbs up on anything Israel does.

    Thanks for reading btw!

  • Written by Timofei Sergeitsev in RIA Novosti, the rhetoric in the editorial...

    Oh so it's not a "Kremlin paper", it's just what some guy thinks. If there are "no more Nazis in Ukraine than anywhere else" then there are no more nazis in Russia than anywhere else πŸ™ƒ

  • Can you point to genocide denial before you make sweeping accusations?

  • Thanks a lot 😁 I also recommend Black skin, White masks, I think that's like the best work on settler (and settled) psychology.

  • Imagine you join the occupation forces and they assign you to the sperm retrieval unit

  • Incredible how universal this seems. On hexbear someone told me about Jessica Lynch, US soldier who went through sort of the same treatment (except she survived)

  • lol I like the wording of manufactured consent, it's powerful and all, but I don't like Chomsky so I had to add some Parenti too

  • "Terrorists" such as 1-year-old children. Nobody believes Zionist propaganda anymore, you're yelling into the void.

  • It's interesting how we talk about 100 billion dollars as if they came out of thin air and go back to thin air, in common parlance. Whose pockets did all this "aid" end up in? Without even looking it up I can pretty much say a lot of it went back to the congressmen who voted for it, now they realize giving more to Ukraine is not wise as Ukraine has all but lost.
