    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 vote 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

    yea

    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

    European Christianity, Whiteness, and Zionism

    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.

[...] >Lawsuits to stop the project failed, and last weekend organizers moved forward, with great secrecy, to disassemble and melt down the Lee monument. > >The work is being done at an out-of-state foundry. NPR agreed not to reveal its location or the identity of the workers because they fear repercussions. > >They use a torch to score the head of the statue, in the pattern of a death mask.

I told them that we're clearing lots of good elbow room for them to live in, and that all they had to do to keep it was look pretty But *now*, these aggressive **militants** from the place we're invading are attacking us for no reason! They don't even refuse to attack the 100% of our hardish-fought territory that we've stuffed with babies and dear sweet grans! Now hexbear trolls are acting like it's *my* fault that these babies and dear sweet grans are in danger. Wtf!

    Sharon Osbourne joins the effort to portray Roger Waters' antizionism as antisemitic https://archive.ph/BRv6T

    This is really heating up. Maybe eventually they'll get someone other than a rich lich to make an accusation Fun excerpt from her Wikipedia page: >In 2019, Osbourne appeared on the British panel show Would I Lie to You? in which guests make statements about themselves and fellow panellists guess whether or not the statements are true. 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.

    Movie pitch for us posters: The Lathe (2024)

    *The Lathe* (2024) centers it's protagonist, initials O. P. (gender unimportant, we'll pick the hottest actor and go from there), as they discover a strange power. Whenever they post a take, it comes true. Over a tortuous 3-and-a-half hour cinematic journey, we discover that top intelligence agencies believe O. P. to have mathematically perfect takes, and have been surveilling them (reading their posts) to inform policy decisions. The great powers of the world grow so reliant on O. P. that it creates an international crisis when O. P. decides to ![logout-lemmy](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/f38601b2-71d2-4581-acab-971d090436b6.png "emoji logout-lemmy") We get to experience it all with O. P.: Intrigue, introspection, voluntary celibacy, ethical dilemmas, being an inert tool for powers greater than ourselves, and most importantly, posting

    So: The right coined 'Brandon', the left adopted it because it was funny, and then the center tried to claim it too

    Has any group *stopped* saying Brandon? Is he just Brandon to all of us now, including himself? Should Brandon get his legal name changed?

    Can we please establish an official definition for 'tankie'?

    In light of recent events and confusion, I think we would all benefit from having a single, concise definition for the word tankie. Here are my suggestions: - Someone who believes that violence has a proper use *and* that that use isn't "getting bananas for my tum tum" - Some dumbass Kremlin bot who thinks that Russia is a country rather than an actual duchy of hell - A Neo-Shermanist - A fascist in every way, except the ones that matter and also the other ones - A hysterical CCP bot who lacks our sensible, rules-based policy of zero-tolerance for the Chinese - A MAGAt who thinks that Drumpf was neither the beginning nor the end of our problems, and who thinks it's funny - FUNNY, I SAY - that we're so caught up on him - A non-conservative who is mean to me about my opinions - Mom, systematically repressing me with a fascist so-called bedtime 😡

    What's an MLM?

    If this is too close to sectarianism I get it, but I keep hearing about Marxist-Leninist-Maoists at the periphery of other discussions and all I know about them is: - they seem to be distinct from other Maoist tendencies - their name is often shortened to Maoist in conversation - the tendency is at least nominally a synthesis of Mao's writings into prior ML theory, done by someone named Gonzalo - their reputation among MLs seems to be deviant - I think the rapper *Power Struggle* alludes to being one, which is my sole investment in this question
