Because you're a (likely white likely American) person who won't have to endure the horrific consequences for the US's imperialism in that country.
Basically ask yourself why chuds think rape jokes are funny and it's the same gist.
I'll ask the same question as I ask people with other less acceptable prejudices:
How many men do you interact with outside of the internet?
This is incredibly cringe, op
The pharma industry existing to hook people on exploitative drugs is like... the opposite of DARE rhetoric (not "rectoric" lmao are you 8 years old....).
DARE punishes the drugs that people take to escape their condition whereas pharma pushes drugs to keep you placid in it.
Very disappointing to see oxy/benzo/SSRI pushers on this site! Your time defending this kind of drug policy would be better compensated at McKinsey or Boston Consulting Group.
being an ideal neoliberal subject to own the leftist
I also never said I don't believe in mental healthcare. Simply that modern psychology is not particularly more or less effective than psychoanalysis.
Literally based on the Red Scare girls lmao
There have been critiques of utopian socialists in the past. From Marx and Engels in particular.
There have even been critiques of Marx that focus on how he ignores the fact that capitalism perversely instills a desire in its subjects for their own subjugation (Marcuse, Lyotard, etc.)
This is none of that. She is attacking utopian socialists by bringing up pretty much every other type of socialist over the last century or two. It's a weaselly attempt to imply that all of those varied factions possess similar problems as utopian socialists, in particular their millenarianism tendencies (which she associates with all of the left here) and their expectation of everyone's problems to just disappear in day to day life. I can guarantee you that AES leaders did not feel this way. Sankara did not expect to wave his hand and give people luxuries like air conditioning. No, instead he embraced solidarity by going without air conditioning himself so that any luxuries that were won later would be won as one group united.
The two things I dislike in this video:
First of all she is broadcasting one of the most pernicious cudgels against the left and against class solidarity. Which is the idea that leftists and workers who want radical change only want it because they envy the lives of richer people, and that this envy is distasteful. She uses the word "resentment" in here, and having not watched the whole video (90 min videos, for fuck's sake...) it sounds kinda like Nietzsche's idea of ressentiment ("a psychological state arising from suppressed feelings of envy and hatred that cannot be acted upon, frequently resulting in some form of self-abasement"). If so that's a really disgusting and liberal approach to material suffering.
Second of all, she should know better than to make this haphazard analysis. This is a poor treatment of the topic that seems less overtly malicious than it does narcissistic. I genuinely think she is caught up in her own life and legend and absolutely does not care or think about others whatsoever anymore. Whenever I hear small business tyrants and the like blame envy for the fact that the working classes hate them, I know that they utterly believe what they are saying. But I am really disappointed in the poor thinking and lazy research she puts into these things. It really does seem like she cares more about makeup and costumes than about any of the values she discusses, which circles back to the narcissism.
Right now the barrier to entry is going to a paper supply store and getting some card stock
If Biden's administration cared, they'd have started a vaccine ID program as soon as he was elected, before the vaccines were offered. They don't care.
Hopefully it was for cause
Guy I knew who did this progressed into just melting his brain watching Mises Institute videos instead of even trying to think abstractly.
Now he sends me videos he wants me to watch that all consist of some utter libertarian stereotype equivocating some point about how actually Ayn Rand is to the left of FDR or something.
Turns out the dude a sort of Burning Man-attending “rationalist”, who mixed martial arts, which kinda makes sense.
Always fun to zoom the profiles of these types. One pattern I've been noticing recently is that the shittiest people who get mad at me on reddit are super into DnD. Not sure why.
Dem soc posts literal dem soc core belief
Not sure whats surprising here
Oh and good luck talking about this kind of stuff with anyone, basically. Trying to analyze society and culture in anything outside the extent of Enlightenment liberal individualism will just piss people off (like, really really piss them off) and they'll assume you're just trying to make them feel stupid.
Yeah my local subreddit just shadowbans any comments from anyone newer than like 2 years. I had to contact the mod team to get approval to ask a question about city-wide waste collection a few months back.
Reddit has reached the stage where they are more concerned about shaping discourse than they are attracting new members. So any new account has a MISERABLE user experience. Many subs will auto delete your comments (either openly or via "shadowban" automoderator deletections)
Almost everything on reddit's frontpage has been chosen by powermods, as they delete things they don't like that organically hit it in favor of what they want (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditMinusMods/)
The biggest problem is that reddit ingeniously continues to trickle out chud community bans (rather than, ya know, just fucking banning them and their members as they pop up) to keep a trickle of reactionaries seeding reddit alternatives at all times. So you never have another option.
