Why are you then posting on bluesky in English ?

I agree with your reasoning; my contention is that a lot of those guys do not have manifestos

The Dark Side isn't fascism, it's incoherent "evilness" that only makes sense if you're a literal space wizard

I think this gets at the actual problem with "he had a manifesto" in that his choice to go to the Dark Side is very plainly not ideological, it's just self-interest. Egotistical right-winters certainly exist, but they at least proclaim to have beliefs and plans to change the world in some way

She's not smart enough to understand that for generations minorities have used aggressive displays of American patriotism to forcefully claim a right to America and a place in American life, Black Americans most of all, in the face of a white order that declares they don't have a right.

Being that desperate to connect yourself to one of, if not the most significant revolutionary event of the 20th century is galling. You went to a protest. You MAYBE saw someone get teargassed. You did not get mowed down by the army firing salvoes into crowds. What is wrong with you.

How bro felt after saying that

Was in Dreigottesnamen ist heute auf D-Sky los

I'm agnostic on whether Molly Shah was in on it but it's wild to me how anyone who actually followed her interactions with 'Mahmoud' (that she posted screenshots of!) could think that was anything other than posts from a scam farm. Maybe you need to encounter them more frequently like we have to.

You can tell you're a real historical materialist if you make arguments not based on what countries do, but based on the intrinsic soul of a nation

How is China on the same league as ussr/israel and the USA? You are worried about the uyghurs when the USA already murdered every nation its settling.At least the nationalism of China is not inherently that of a thief and a settler by nature. Those are real cultures not based on industrial cleansing

China committing human rights violations? Well, maybe, but have you considered that America Bad?

I'm less focused on that (this guy makes a good point) and more on the fact that he talks like someone from the 18th century

I don't want to over-philosophise stuff like this, I haven't read the book, but to me this is emblematic of how hostile a certain subsection of leftists gets to empiricism, or, well, materialism. The results your ideas get don't matter, only their potential

Call me a 14th century yeoman the way I'm in the mood for some Plowshare

and?

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

For what it's worth, in Germany (and I believe in the rest of Europe) the word still primarily has its original meaning; mainly because we're more likely to use it to refer to historical conditions than anything in our day-to-day

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

I think that's a valid interpretation, but I primarily read it as doing the same thing the actual name for the Sicilian Mafia "la cosa nostra" -> "our thing" does. I do think you can point at that as well and see not just secrecy, but also a refusal to call it by its actual name: Banditry. Crime.

This post was how I discovered the historical materialists dislike materialist explanations for historical events

In my new film THE MINION CANNOT HEAR THE FALCONER, we'll explore the way in which the emergence of 20th century ideologies fractured the once-cohesively evil Minion society into competing fascist and communist blocs that soon come to blows over which form of totalitarianism will shape their future.
