    Yeah nah, I’m not saying it as an excuse for men. My point is that criticising a system where most men participate in is not the same as saying all men are inherently shit - which guys like Boogie are pretending.





  • Tbf, most times I’ve seen it posted it’s by people who think they’re totally owning him and who would have done the exact same if it had been any other character. Is it racist in their understanding of China? Probably. Is it racist because Pooh is yellow? I honestly don’t think so, and it doesn’t seem to be vaguely relevant for those posters.

    Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 4chan and related sites use it like that, so I’m not saying it definitely doesn’t happen.






  • None of that has to do with what I’m talking about. Fucking of course the US is the head of the bloc of capitalist countries and fucking of course they use the threat of violence to uphold their global position of power. But none of that relates to what I said in any meaningful way.

    You could argue about how the US is bad until the cows come home and I’d most likely agree with all of it, but you’re talking past my basic point here.


  • Power within their own country, I meant, and it was abundantly clear. Also, I was talking about Western leaders in general, and even if your example is an argument against what I said it applies to only one country.

    That’s not to defend the nuclear button or the US in general. But come on, my guy. We’re talking about the power they hold over the people and how they relate to the capital class, and the US’ dodgy nuclear weapons policies honestly have little to do with that.
