thesis: the burger reich is white supremacist

antithesis: the burger reich is credulous media-believers with goldfish memory

synthesis: i believe that the burger reich is both white supremacist AND uncritical of media narratives

woah woah woah, you're describing what hasn't changed

I hate China about as much as I hate USA

bothsidesism truly is the laziest algorithm of politics. you simply declare that you "hate equally" two sides that are "equally bad" without any material analysis of what their relative imperfections may be. One does not have to think China is perfect or even good to see that it is not the global hegemon with 800 military bases and 5000 nukes and several torture dungeons waging multiple proxy wars simultaneously while couping, sanctioning, embargoing, and invading anyone that threatens its supremacy.

what the bourgeoisie produces above all else are its own grave diggers

the real criticism of eco-terrorism is not that it's "evil" but that it's unfocused adventurism that doesn't get at the root cause of the problem.

But yeah I know what episode you're talking about. Bourgeois ideology all the way down. They had to show Planetina killing both coal miners and CEOs to tell the audience that "environmentalists place equal blame on workers and owners!"

respond with "yes" and then show them this

also two state solution, even if it is a false solution, is blocked by the US anyway. so even the fake option is off the table.

America helped force Haiti pay reparations to France for the crime of becoming free from slavery and independent of colonialism. the reparations Haiti paid to France constituted most of their GDP for 140 years, and is a big part of the reason why they're still "under developed" (over exploited) today, along with diplomatically and economically isolated, on an island, in a place with a lot of hurricanes, climate change, etc. Also deforestation has made life there difficult.

high turnover rate is actually good for the capitalists. It means a large reserve army of labor. it means a fresh supply of scabs. it means people will quit ''before'' they even ''try'' to unionize because they've been taught that's what you do when a job sucks, you quit and get a new one that also sucks, and so on to infinity. Quitting will ''always'' be easier than unionizing, and people only unionize when they think "this is my job, I'm going to be here for a long time." Unions were strongest when people worked in the same company their whole lives. The more mobile and nomadic the work force, the easier capital is able to dissuade unionization efforts.

Israel has been ethnically cleansing palestinians since 1948

Netanyahu was born 1949. In hindsight it is unsurprising that he was able to carry out war crimes while still in his mother's womb.

reminder that the US has always blocked a "two state solution" at the UN while providing israel with the capacity to use overwhelming force to continue ethnically cleansing palestinians.

reminder that US politicians performatively crying about Xinjiang usually ignore or outright support israel's ethnic cleansing of palestinians. They don't actually care about oppression of Muslims, they simply care about supporting US geopolitical allies.

EDIT: Love that the visiting reactionaries are more interested in acting confused about what a trans lesbian is than actually talking about the plight of palestinians

laugh out loud
