imagine thinking gravity is bourgeoisie and claiming "nobody is further left than me"
come on, that's a grave insult to comrade trofim. he wasn't this fucking dumb
Yeah once you get past the ideological veil Lysenko did get proven right eventually on a decent number of his hypotheses.
IDK how you managed to dig up this month old comment of mine but basically, Lysenko was like: what if Mendelian inheritance wasn't all there was to it? What if non genetic factors could also influence the phenotype of offspring? Today, that field of study is known as epigenetics, which did end up more or less agreeing with some of Lysenko's findings, but with different mechanisms of action than he initially theorized.
During his time though, with the cold war going on, science also became an ideological battleground, with the west smearing Lysenko's theories as pseudoscience, while the USSR may have overreacted in rejecting some parts of western scientific orthodoxy.
So yeah, dude was smart, got a lot of stuff right and a lot of stuff wrong, but everything was viewed through the lens of cold war ideology, which blinded people to a lot of things that may appear obvious to us now.
IDK how you managed
Sorry I accidentally clicked on this community and this thread was on the top.
Thanks for your thoughtful answer.
I love this picture so much, it's like the gigachad jawline but real.
It's a joke lol.
And yes, he was right on some of it, and wrong on some others. Epigenetics is real but doesn't really cover all of his theories.
Ok, I just don’t want to perpetuate myths around him or associate him with this nonsense.
Completely understandable, I would never entertain these myths in front of non leftists, but it's like ironically posting "you can only get one kind of haircut in North Korea", taking western propaganda at face value is so absurd it becomes funny.
Indeed, unfortunately I know there are some people among us who believe the anti-Lysenko bs. I was once one of them, and was swayed by a false allusion to him.
Reality-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------they are here-->solipsism
Unfortunately for them there is literally nothing to be done about it
I guess this is what you get when a cheeseburger tries to play at being a physicist or a sociologist
anarcho anti-realism
This has to be a bit, I refuse to believe this.
soulist
After looking up exactly what "soulism" is the answer is... probably not. Their whole schtick is that even "reality" and things like the laws of physics are unjust hierarchies and tyranny, and that anything is permitted.
In other words... they're probably just that stupid.
Getting mad when I jump off a cliff and the authoritarian laws of physics kill me.
I'm taking that out of context and posting it on c/quotes
This is where taking the phrase "time is a construct" a bit too literally and a bit under examined gets ya.
One hopes not.

On "r/serioussoulism:"
While soulism has its roots in polcompball memes, and was initially considered a meme ideology, we hold that the core ideas of soulism are logically sound, and the only obstacle is implementing soulist ideas through psychology, spirituality, and/or technology.
Imagine that being the basis for one's beliefs. They're a truly hopeless lot lmao
So it isn't even a reddit ideology, it's a Polandball ideology. That's so damn pathetic. I really hope this person is just an edgy 13 year old, and even then, I hope their parents give them a good talking to.
The soulists had a schism, it seems. Maybe they are at least leftists.

I'm convinced. I can't believe communists have been wasting all this time fussing over material conditions when we could've been exploring our dreamscapes to level up our Arete and master the Forces Sphere in order to throw fireballs at the bourgeoisie.
At least they choose best fucking magic system in any RPG ever.
You know we're fully ensconced in capitalist realism when even cranks like this revert to "vote blue no matter who"
Hey, I don't know...have you seen Biden lately? If there is anyone to lead the process of passing beyond the bounds of consensus material reality it's him
Well at least they're willing to admit they're completely unhinged from material reality.
You tankie scum may believe you're leftist but us soul-wizards can see through your facade
How can you hex-tankies claim to be leftists when you don't even have a tower full of ancient grimoires in forbidden languages?
you don't even have a tower full of ancient grimoires in forbidden languages?
Look, it's not my fault that Marx and Engels wrote in German.
Joke's on them: I do, and half of it is nukes

the day we were all waiting for, boy do we all have egg on our faces now that we see we've been conservatives all along
Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.
An idealist straight down to the spiritual iota. Motherfucker needs to put down the Destiny grimoire and actually pick up real theory. Until further notice, this "soulist" shit? This gets filed with the flat-earthers and the time cube people. I can tolerate lavenderists, y'know, if there's more than one; if only because it seems to be a super-eclectic neopagan thing that I can kinda... Well, it beats Gardnerian wicca as far as I'm concerned; but this shit?
Nah, this is ridiculous. This is not how you polymerize spirituality with political theory. I'd go as far as to say that's an absolute HAREBRAINED idea with how little we know about our bodies and minds; never mind the existence of a 'soul'.
Oh right 🙄 !lavenderism@lemmy.ml was one of the first comms I blocked.
That community used to be on this instance too before it was made to move. 🙄 The creator of it still posts here all the time in a different com and calls themselves a Marxist or Maoist or something which is certainly an interesting thing to call oneself while holding such thoughts.
This guy needs to practice the theories of anarcho-touchgrassism.
Hexbears taught evil 1 Day 1 god ignorance Simple math is retireation And evil education damnation. Cubeless americans deserve - And shall be celebrated.
I swear, this guy is the type to "thank God that his immortal soul has been delivered from its mortal clay."
