God that fuckin thread. Someone in there really straight-up pulled a “I honestly think the world is split into the greater and the lesser; and the latter exists to serve the former” and had the unmitigated settler gall to take offense when people compared him to a nazi/eugenicist.
Greater at what?? You can be the LeBron James of torture but why would I want to live in a society that actualizes your talent? These people power scale societies based off of IQ or something and even given that it predicts your capacity to be a scientist or a , eventually you’re going to want someone to build something. Without the proper care and attention given to the artistic vision and conviction to humanities they’re going to build the skyscrapers amd urban sprawls you hate so much. The hierarchical vision you had manifested as shit and nonsense. That instinct betrays you

another @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net banger
Is OP stupid or living under a rock? We already have socialism in America. Joe Biden is a card carrying CCP member. Obama is the most influential Marxist after Lenin and Marx himself.
California and New York are the staunchest communist states we have.
The Democratic Party has always been socialist, and the GOP is loyal to Putin.
The US is the only successful socialist country. Period.
I mean my question honestly. Would you profit from tone indicators telling if something is a joke?
Hexbear has a left unity approach meaning that RyanGosling’s comment is a joke built on re-hashing bad takes from propagandized USA citizens.
no one ever seems to stop and think, “I don’t actually know that much about socialism, or socialist countries, or socialist history.”
Look, just because the most influential philosopher of the last thousand years spent his life explaining it and libraries of books have been written about his work with still more books written about those books, doesn’t mean that they can be expected to know what it means. They need you to explain it and respond to all their dumbass questions
I attribute this to my uncle, though it was years ago. I was butting heads about communism. I stopped for a moment to ask him what socialism is. I don’t even think he said it’s when the government does stuff; he just said it’s when taxes are 70%. It gave me the clarity of mind to just give him the thumbs up and go do something else because he wasn’t going to listen and he’d never agree with me because he was adamant and ignorant
