- Comment on I get that america is failing if it's duty to suppress the rise of fascist but did the rest of the world just put all its eggs in the america basket? 2 days ago:
America spent a century burning all the other baskets and demanded that everyone store their eggs in the American Basket™. All resistance was met with violence openly or covertly.

Yeah I guess ban and boycott mean different things to me, but you’re right. Functionally this is a boycott and I support boycotting this movie. Fair point.

Mein Kampf actually isn’t banned in the US or most of the world. It’s banned in Germany for obvious reasons.

Lol fascism got into power because there is a revolutionary mood in the air and the capitalists have spent a century banning the idea of socialism at every turn. I feel very confident that socialism would have become popular if there wasn’t an active effort to stymie it’s adoption by the masses.
So yes the marketplace of ideas is rigged.

Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can’t tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.

So my dermatologist said that all chapsticks do is make your lips drier in the long run. She said simple petroleum jelly is better for you.

There’s a difference between being an engineer and being a physicist. One deepens our understanding of the universe and the other uses our understanding of physics to build products. One is clearly valued more by capitalism.

I’m trying. They are so close. Their whole brains are full of conspiracies of elites trying to destroy Western Civilization and they are so so close to class consciousness.

Lol I’m a leftist. If you want to be productive, you can’t push everyone out. You have to find common ground. Our society is breaking. Communism has plenty to offer most MAGA people. They just need to see it.

Society doesn’t prioritize knowledge for it’s own sake. It prioritizes making money. If society was different, more people could pursue hard sciences.
- Comment on Divided and conquered 4 weeks ago:
Ok but that’s a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren’t evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.
You need to construct a vision of society that allows both to succeed. Everyone is struggling these days and you need to construct a society that values all people.
