Is it because their views are essentially the status quo already and they have just fully internalised the capitalist propeganda?
That's pretty close imo. I'd just add that most of them have never set foot outside of capitalist propaganda
Every part of their media diet is bourgeois media, because naturally the owning class owns that too. The views presented to them with any degree of fidelity are necessarily non-threatening to bourgeois rule, and they make up the range of views that people feel are normal. Conservative bile is acceptable, and liberal outlets for empathy such as charity and saying to are too
Meanwhile, in much of the west including the US, it has been outright illegal in recent history to be left-wing. Even now that it isn't explicitly illegal in the US, we have Stop Cop City protesters being charged as an anarchist terrorist conspiracy

To me it evokes a mentality where other people's appearances are only considered through the lens of how they serve the person speaking. I'm not a fan. Even where complimenting someone's appearance is appropriate, I think it frames the compliment as "you're not like those uggos I hate seeing"

I don't think so. With enough bourgeois interests tied up in the project, our media could create that support, but one of the biggest reasons why ordinary western anti-semites support Israel is that Israel's existence is a prerequisite for the Rapture. Of course that's pushed cynically at the think-tank level, but a shocking number of people whole-heartedly believe they live in the Left Behind cinematic universe

I guess it's partly their malignant individualism, partly the theology that reinforces it, and partly their worldview of "a civilization in decay."
Their kids are dependent on them, naturally, and they're forced to provide certain necessities which they resent. Most of the ones I know are Evangelical, which means they consider kids to embody human nature which is synonymous with evil and sin, so their relationship to parenting is basically just to coerce their kids toward becoming an idealized version of theirselves. That frustrates them though, because it doesn't work, so they wind up considering their kids corrupted by the "culture in decay"
The end result seems to be that they subconsciously love their kids insofar as they're individually capable of love (often not far), they subconsciously resent it, and they consciously believe their kids are bad so their conscious expression of "love" is moralizing coercion

There is as much to be gained going to bat for 'cracker' as there is in any argument over bigotry being symmetrically applicable to both the oppressor and the oppressed. In a framework of white supremacism, which has been imposed onto the world by western cultural hegemony, all peoples are to be racially denigrated in favor of the "white race." This can be done by white or non-white people, but it can only be done to non-white people. One can be prejudiced against white people and can call them names, and that is a direct result of this system of racism, but it isn't a part of it
This concept is important for understanding any dynamic of oppression. Anti-white racism isn't possible because it's predicted on 'white' being anything other than the identity construct created solely to "be supreme." Misandry isn't possible under patriarchy because its concept of manhood is the same type of construct. Classist bigotry can not be applied against the ruling class for the same reason, 'cissie' can not be a slur, and so on

I had read most of the series years ago when I was more interested in trying to separate the art from the artist, and you made me curious enough to refresh my memory on Speaker and Xenocide
You're right on the money - both of them explore the relationship between human colonists on a planet and other sentient lifeforms, but they do it through a lens of fundamental incompatibilities. The native lifeforms are dependent on a virus for their life cycle which is deadly to humans, and they accidentally torture and kill humans under the impression that it honors them. Ender the Xenocide, as he's known to humanity, places the hive queen egg on this planet to attone for said genocide and the hive queen is eventually enlisted as a mediator between the humans and the native lifeforms after the humans do a pogrom
Also there's more cuckolding-talk than I'm used to in other fiction, not to mention a weirdly paternal and flirty relationship with an AI that was born out of Ender's brain interfacing with tech iirc. That's not related to your frustrations but it stands out in my memory

You know how capitalist rags talk about Communism as an infectious ideology that can subvert the mushy minds of marginalized people, rather than being a natural response by thinking people to the material conditions they're subjected to? This episode is about that
I wanted to outline my understanding of the West's relation to Zionism since it's been on my mind a lot lately. I'm interested in feedback for any details I might have wrong or lacking context. So, we have Christianity being born out of Judaism and then being syncretized into the Roman Empire, which propagates its version of Christianity throughout its territory as part of its imperial structure. The empire wanes and leaves behind the politico-religious concept of Christendom or "the Christian world". By the time that capitalism became Europe's dominant mode of production, Western Christianity was largely separated from Eastern Christianity and thus Eastern Christendom, and was relatively united under Catholicism. Importantly, papal bulls had established the Doctrine of Discovery, which set out instructions for (implicitly Western if I understand correctly) Christian countries to cooperate in the mission of subjugating and Christianizing non-Christian peoples. Even as the Reformation birthed Protestantism and wars were fought within (Western, but this is the last time I'm going to note that distinction) Christendom, the Doctrine of Discovery was mainly respected as something like property law among European Christian nations, including Protestant ones. Notably, Europe is white as hell and the people they colonized were not. Through various means including pseudoscience and theology, European colonial powers reinforced their ideology with a new system of racism that would become the white supremacism we can recognize today. Tied in with the notions of Whiteness and Christendom, Europe (including the Russian empire in this instance) also forged the variety of antisemitism that would ultimately be advanced by the Nazis. To this day, the successor states of former European colonies including the US cite the Doctrine of Discovery as their root source of legitimacy. This is reinforced by white supremacist ideology outrageously insisting indigenous peoples had no "civilization" in the first place, so that instead of unjustly plundering the world, the White Christian West was merely building civilization where none had been before. It follows the same racist reasoning, then, to claim that disparities in wealth between the West and its colonies were due to intrinsic differences in peoples and/or some need for a people to "mature" for generations under Christianity. By the early 1900s, antisemitism remained homogenous across the West. Most notably it helped fuel the rise of Nazi Germany, which left the US in a privileged position to capitalize on WWII and centralize bourgeois power under its own flag. Still homogeneously antisemitic, the West, led increasingly by the US and witnessing the deterioration of the traditional colonial relationship, determined to concentrate much of its Jewish population in Britain's colonial territory in Palestine. The status of Jews as non-white was leveraged both to drive Jews out of the imperial core and to encourage an impression that they could only become and remain liberated by forming a "homeland" in the fashion of the West. This both gratified antisemites by voluntary deportation of Jews, and solved the problem of holding on to an increasingly unprofitable colony. The present result would seem to be a near-universal Zionist stance within the Western bourgeoisie (which is *the* bourgeoisie in the global sense) and its institutions, and an Israeli ethnostate that is nominally Jewish but is in fact syncretized with White Supremacism as evidenced by their treatment of black Ethiopian Jewish immigrants.

No you don't. You know why? Because the status quo is intensely violent, and *at best* it's both lazy as fuck and pointless to talk about violence in terms that aren't relative to that. At worst, it's deliberately laundering genocide apologia The good news is that if you're *not* trying to carry water for a genocidal project, then I can tell you why you denounce anti-imperial violence but never even think of imperial violence: Because it's comfortable.

She claimed that during a house fire she made her assistant go back into the house to save pieces of art. She also claimed that she ripped an oxygen mask off the assistant and gave it to her dog. She then proceeded to fire him when he did not find the situation funny, believing he might have lung damage from smoke inhalation, saying "he showed absolutely no sense of humour" during the fire. After the usual deliberations by fellow panellists, she confirmed the incident to be true.
