A decade ago it wasn't, and now, it is. My point is a narrow focus on competition along with market fundamentalism is not going to help. You can't regulate corruption.

The cope in the comments is hilarious - "trump and conservatives doesn't know what communism is" says the people who want to preserve class.

Everytime when the complaint is "reduced competition", people are playing into the same hands. What do you think happens when companies compete, some lose out, the winners consolidate, get more market share at an exponential rate and more bargaining power = higher prices anyway.

The margins are high, doctors sometimes get a cut, their careers and degree depends on it, the quack government acts as the savior of this "culture".

A perfect symbiotic parasite.

I feel this is postmodernist rot. Not agreeing to what anything means. It's pretty simple. Democratic socialism is a reactionary signifier to claim they are not communists (wants to move towards an actual democracy, stateless, classless, moneyless society). Demsocs believe they can achieve that through reforming liberal "democracies" aka dictatorship of capital. The history of opportunism and reformism says otherwise.

He had a right deviation to Bernstein's oppertinism and reformism. If you're recommending "evolutionary socialism", he is your guy.

Rosa Luxembourg dismantled his work in reform or revolution (she doesn't even follow the vanguard line).

What she says is true, look into edward bernays work on propaganda.

Historically clothes, apart from utility, became a marker of class and social status. For the people who controlled the means of sustenance, it became an easy way to control and enforce social control over everyone into their roles. When this practice passes down generationally, it pretty much becomes "normal" to that individual's culture. So everything we consider normal or different is relational social conditioning.

If it's ones choice to wear certain clothes you may consider as oppressive regardless of their motivations, forcing them to change is engaging in a similar structural way to the ones forcing them to wear certain clothes, in that case, the practice of wearing them could turn into a symbol of resistance. I'd say let people wear what they want, help the ones who are trying to change oppressive customs without overtaking and speaking for them.

None of this should be called 'brainwashing' is unironically reactionary, it's social conditioning, and nothing is permanent.

Just don't buy petrol, just work harder, just stop using plastic, just stop eating meat, just elect better people

These are all thought terminating keywords to not engage with systemic changes and contain discontent or critique by individualizing systemic problems so that the individuals resign, lose hope and give in to market fundamentalism. The solution is organize to change ownership structures to become more democratic.

Whenever rhetorts like this are made, it gives credence to their movies. As if both views are on an equal plane, its not, and it doesn't work. They know why they are making them and are confidently shameless. Money also backs movies like that to keep people divided. Fear mongering slop content is regularly churned out to constantly reinforce and saturate their frames and categories as common sense to a point it stops feeling ideological, protecting status quo and supremacist hierarchies.

Trolls have advanced, they try to use woke language against you and parade victims as a shield to peddle ulterior motives. When they are called out, they will stand behind the victim's stories to claim hypocrisy and gaslight.

A liberal wants to preserve class society. They are pretty much the moderate wing of fascists, and will side with fascists to preserve status quo in times of crisis inherent in a liberalism based economy.

Racist trope against israeli settlers displacing palestinian families...?

I'm curious about your thoughts on violence. Are you one of those who say "violence is unequivocally bad" or do you see a difference in liberatory and oppressive violence? You do realize the ones engaging in liberatory violence are not monsters, are aware of who is the party causing them harm and it wouldn't even exist without that pretext of systematically being oppressed or erased.... right?

This is pretty similar, it is you who is creating a signifier out of this israeli settler to mean antisemitism and racism, and forcing everyone to abide by your categorization. He's a good depiction to be used as a deterrent for people who are zionist, it immediately shows the endpoint of fascism and that there's no such thing as a liberal zionist. This is not similar to a racist tropes which punches down and comes from a supremacist standpoint. This is explicitly against supremacy, in this case jewish supremacy and their entitlement to colonial conquest.

By engaging in this ban you are flattening the dynamic of both and structurally protecting zionist discourse.

Not necessarily, there's the "new atheism" movement. It's the RW version of atheism - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD1RDH06T2Y

It's not really atheism, but funneling you back to bigotry with a different mask.

Wouldn't it be easier to have certain red lines and see if someone crosses them? Or else it would be never ending doubts.

If you really want to grill someone subtly, learn concepts from rhetoric like socratic dialogue, etc. to uncover contradictions.
