America 200 years ago: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
It's still going on buddy
yeah, that stood out to me. i guess a key tactic of an effective national forgetting is to pretend it all stopped and invent some massive amount of time to have passed.
- it never happened.
- no one knows what happened.
- it didn't happen like historians are saying.
- it happened, but wasn't all that bad.
- it happened, but we stopped several generations ago.
- it happened, but we stopped stopped before anyone alive was born.
- it happened under The Other Guy's administration, but My Guy shut it down.
- it's still happening, but it's good for them to be forced into progressing into becoming like us.
- it's still happening, but it's crucial for national security.
- it's still happening, but it's necessary for us to have the treats we like.
- it's still happening, but why do you even care? what are you, some kind of [slur]-lover?
Anyone got any book recommendations on political amnesia like that? It comes up in passing in other books, but I'm yet to read one about it overall.
Yeah imperialists really like to ignore they're still squatting on native land and still oppressing indigenous people. Natives still exist.
It's almost a bit reassuring that the libs who hate us the most can't even parrot the basics of any of our views. They have no fucking idea who we are lmao
a defining characteristic of anti-communists is a total willingness to believe everything they themselves make up about communists
Communism is whatever the monsters underneath my bed are getting up to
Communism is my loud ass downstairs neighbors having a shouting match at 3am?
That's not dispositive of communism; the two are heavily correlated
It's sort of sad too. We've all been built up as this collective boogieman based on a century of propaganda and you can literally go read books for free on what we all basically believe.
Yup few things reinforce my beliefs more than when a liberal insists I'm actually secretly a republican.
They could save some time by just posting "I'm making up things about you because I don't like what you're saying" but they're version is basically the same thing.
Never once met a lib that could explain how MLs think to me. I can describe how every flavor of Liberal thinks but they can’t fathom my worldview 🤔
sh.itsjust.fash
i will never forgive you absolute dinguses for voting to federate with these nazi redditors
I had fun yelling at them for a couple days at least
You missed the best part where the dweeb calls it Red Capitalism
kill every cracker, except spongebob. spongebob can live.
I kept writing as a hobby so I could have some culture distinct from whatever was on Netflix.
Why does goat, who also impersonates a bigger mastodon user, have to resort to lying in the post titles? Since when are you an admin and "future" lemmy "developer" when lemmy is open source and anyone can submit code modifications lol
TBF the future lemmy developer isn't too far off. I've been discussing being added to the NLNet grant along with another person, phiresky, with Dessalines and Nutomic.
You say you hate capitalism. Yet you want to receive money for buying goods and services to live a dignified life?
damn, pretty cool development for you! Wonder if we could get NLNet grants for prolewiki lmao
Wait, it's a different goat from goat@hellsite.site???
??????????????
??????
yeah, completely different person, goat on hellsite is a pretty cool gay trans jewish ML iirc, goat on shitjustworks is some fucking weirdo who stalks our posts while impersonating some communist who didnt even know he existed until recently
Not gonna dox myself or go into too much detail but I don't like either of them.
Top comment is literally the "Okay, America did rape, torture, genocide, etc. in the past, but that doesn't mean they still do it!" meme
"How dare you call me a murderer? I haven't killed anyone for at least 5 years now!"
When Amerika does still provably do it to this day, everywhere from the
concentrationdetention camps at the border to our department of corrections
Critical support for FfaerieOxide going 10 rounds in the comment?
I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been any brigading tbh. That place is something else.
I like that every post about us from other lemmys is from the same guy. Respect for the troops on both sides of the posting war
Communist critiques of liberalism: fact based, well sourced
Liberal critiques of communism: fabricated whole-cloth from their imagination, sources are the CIA and the FBI
Communist critiques of liberalism: actual arguments
Liberal critiques of communism: Stalin killed my grandpappy Oberstürmführer Überhitler
I pray I get to live to watch their illegitimate-assed country collapse. I don't even care if that collapse kills me-- in fact, I hope it does. I just want to know those cac shitstains were inconvenienced to their last before I go.
Marxist theory explicitly states that capitalist systems might be a necessary step towards socialism. This is largely the premise Dengism was based on, using profit motives and foreign investment to build infrastructure until,
In Theory ™
Society is ready to both meet the physical needs of everyone and dissolve all heirarchy, aka the guvment. I’m not sure how much comfort that is to the workers in factories with suicide netting.
He almost had it. 🤏
until, In Theory ™ Society is ready to both meet the physical needs of everyone and dissolve all heirarchy, aka the guvment.
Lmao. Dengism with anarchist characteristics???
Anarcho-Dengism is the official ideology of letting people enjoy things.
"capitalism makes people suicidal but trying to grow beyond capitalism is the real evil"
I tend to take a more individualist view of things. I agree that we have some level of duty to each other, but I don’t believe that duty should be enforceable with anything stronger than social pressure. As such, I feel that taxation for collective benefit is fundamentally unjust.
However, unlike right-libertarians, I’m not okay with class stratification. We need to be actively dismantling the power structures that maintain the disparities in our society. I believe that in doing so, we’ll find that taxation isn’t actually necessary, and that we can have a society which is both voluntary and reasonably equal.
lol.
We need to actively dismantle class stratification. But not with taxes, that would be unjust. We're gonna social pressure our way to an equitable society!
Class stratification doesn't happen on the level of individuals. If your only means of acting - of thinking - about this like a single cell, unwilling to acknowledge the tissues and organs it forms, then you've failed before you've even began.
Why do y'all insist on giving yourselves psychic damage by looking at the Nazi instance?
If a transperson calls a transphobe a cissie are they being cisphobic? No. Because it doesn't fucking exist. It has absolutely no effect on a cis person, just like you being called a kkkracka has absolutely no effect on a white person.
Punching down is the only direction any of this works. It doesn't work the same when punching upwards.
as it should be
