Only posting this to make the few people who come across this aware that this mod banned me for challenging their claim to know what's best for minority groups they are not a part of (for democracy, you see).

OP, you straight up lied about enslaved people to argue that working within the state should never be questioned by oppressed peoples. Inadvertently, you have demonstrated that these arguments are fundamentally racist in how they appropriate the resistance and activism of minority groups to misremember history as a series of struggles within a state rather than against it. That narrative is certainly appealing to privileged groups who do not have to risk any more than the mild effort it takes to say the right thing at a safe time.

Also, "tankie" in reference to my argument for anarchic tactics of mutual aid and direct action is full mask-off on your politics (you couldn't even fathom that I was discussing politics outside of parties). You're a self-interested liberal who would gladly trample over groups lower in the hierarchy than you if that meant that you get what you want. You tried to silence one right now with the middling power you have when they said something you didn't like and went on to claim they're just a morally bad person for doing so.

Embarrassing display, even in private.

Another good thing to point out. If you have the time to interact with those communities, it's demonstrably populated primarily by bot-like content. Even more, moderation tends to be more opaque and aggressive against leftist comments or posts.

Very important to point out with this that Reddit has gotten markedly more fascist in these past three years -- which is saying something -- even while there is inexplicably a large number of people who call it "left-leaning" on the platform itself. It is safe to say that a high amount of "user"-content is bots of some kind, and that platforms that have high numbers of bots tend to become more conservative and fascist.

I think it's a bit self-indulgent to consider that this is big-brained or world-shattering to people. You're just repeating the dominant explanation for why these companies can make profit despite their immorality, it isn't challenging or new.

It's important to make a distinction between liberals who strive for moral purity through performativity, and people who value human life by recognizing the inequalities in labour and material security under capitalism. Narratives that reproduce the idea that people are just fundamentally impure and can't stick to their values only strengthens liberalism's claim to morality.

Dude, you can't be satisfied by bites of moral superiority, it isn't useful to you. Class solidarity doesn't mean that they have solidarity with you because they strive for unity or whatever, it means that they have solidarity with people in the same socioeconomic class as themselves. Yes, they are self-interested and they exclude people who are not in their class from positions of power within the state. They correctly identify that most Americans have been neglected functional knowledge on how their system works -- both literally as in the state and philosophically/sociologically as in how ideas work and why certain people subscribe to certain values -- and make use of a "two-party" system to occlude their common interest in capital and hegemony. Democrats and Republicans do not differ on fundamental principles of how society should work, and they share those principles with anyone alive who hoards wealth because they all are in a class that is constructed through wealth hoarding, that's the solidarity.

That someone can work for either party without missing a step demonstrates that there is not a fundamental difference between the two in a very funny way.

I mean, that's a very good demonstration on the common values of these supposedly different groups. Their class solidarity is strong.

"Secret cabal" as in capitalism and its imperatives sure, pretty out in the open though.

Yeah, that's what the law is. Im curious about the mechanics of this, this certainly is not a new issue and AI could feasibly make mass surveillance necessary to enforce such a law easier. If that's the case though, what kind of process would exist to confirm the person's qualifications? Just some examples but that is more of what I'm talking about.

Arbitrary laws as a form of suppression is centuries old here in NA.
