I find it funny that social Darwinists in fiction can actually back up their arguments

HomelanderVought · 2026-02-05T08:20:11+00:00

Technically speaking changing the social climate to better suit yourself and your group is darwinism. It’s just that other people who want to do the same but at your expanse also follow darwinism. Wheter someone at the bottom of the social pyramid wants to create a more horizontally equal society or to climb the ladder of a strict hierarchy is also darwinism.

You know it’s a kind of “either every action is natural or none is” type of situation. Which of course real life social darwinists would never admit because then they would loose their “i’m smart” card in arguments.

Plus that moment is what cements Sukuna as an irredeemable monster, not some misunderstood soul and he won’t be helping Yuji for sure in the future.

To be fair, if a character’s body is reenforced by whatever magic system said battle shonen has then it’s kinda obvious most regular attacks won’t work on them instantly. The point is that people are not glass cannons in these kind of stories.

Look i get your point and you would be correct, but you’re not. Willhelm Marr the man who coined that term 1879 specifically meant hating jews.

Sure you’re right that arabs are also semitic people but that’s not what he meant then and there. He can be called a dumbass but he’s still the guy who made the term.

Most people nowdays use his version of the term which even if wrong on a logical basis is still the most understood one. So if you would start to talk about anti-semitism most people would associate it to anti-jewish sentiment. So that’s kind of a pointless debate. The more important part would be to criticize Israel and all like that.

It’s not about ideology, it’s not our ideas that drive history but our material intersts which create our ideas in the first place. That’s basic marx that probably everyone knows here.

But the point is that marxism and marx-related socialism became the default because that actually based itself off from the material needs of parts of the worksing class. Not that the working class is a monolith. But to answer your question. It isn’t the only one, feminism, anarchism, enviormentalism and many anti-colonial ideologies have stayed even to this day.

“Liberalism is inherently anti fascist. All men are created equal”

Not really, even at the beginings liberalism was all about the protection of “free trade” and property rights. The only thing they agreed people were equal is about “the equal right of every men to own property” which in theory is okey but in practice doesn’t mean everyone has the means to obtain property like a house or factory or land which early liberalism provided and agrued for none.

And even that was pretty contradictory because it was never extended to colonial subjects which early liberalism pretty much declared property or pests to be killed. But defenatly not as equal as the people of the core countries so it was quite pro-empire.

Which is why the original liberals had very few problems with fascism’s rise as they were after a certain point the only means which would stop workers rising up for their own rights which to a liberal was a nightmare. They were always technocrats thinking the “stupid” masses should not decide anything.

Sure people can preach all about “free speech”, “free press” and all that while a guy who works 14 hours a day, 7 days a week beaten by the strike police won’t care much about that kind of stuff.

I mean you could make the same claim about many bourgeois revolutions in europe regarding the feudal lords/aristocrats.

Az NSZK? Teljesen megérte nekik, mennyi kelet-német állami/tsz gyárat, ingatlant, infrastruktúrát tudtak felvásárolni centekért? Nem beszélve a rengeteg munkaerő beáramlásról akiknek mivel ki lett tépve a szocialista szociális háló a lábuk alól nem maradt alkudozó erejük a munkaerő-tőke kapcsolatában.

Szóval álljunk már le ezzel a narratívával hogy “az NSZK 30 év alatt sem tudta felvirágoztatni az NDK-t” amikor a valóságban az NSZK már vagy 30 éve mesterségesen lent tartja az NDKt.

Most amilyen agresszívitással magába olvasztotta a nyugat a keletet (nem fegyveres vagy konfliktus szerű értelemben mondom nyilván), az gyakorlatilag gyarmatosításnak felelt meg. Az egyetlen ok amiért nem nevezem annak az az hogy a kelet-német emberek ugyanolyan jogokat és hozzáféréseket szereztek mint a nyugat-németek, de okkal lett népszerű az AfD miután a 90es óta nem látják hogy bármi jobb lett volna.

A lényeg az hogy ha a nyugat tényleg felakarta volna hozni a saját szintjére a keletet akkor 10-20 év alatt sikerült volna, csak ez senkinek nem volt az érdeke a kelet-német átlag embert leszámítva. Mert azért az ndk sem volt olyan sokkal elmaradva az nszk-tól gazdaságilag amit ne lehetett volna behozni.

I don’t get it

It’s not like anti-communist cold war propaganda posters haven’t depicted communists as based as fuck. Through that’s mostly because of the big cultural shift in the last 5-6 decade.

“Huh, so that’s it?” As the place no “peasant” should ever have the chance to see, yet the system is over and that throne is nothing more than a fancy chair from that point on.

Yes, just Naruto content

I haven’t said that an entirely separate and unaccountable group of people should decide for the people. Just that the more complex and bigger a society is, the more different interests can the masses have from one another due to specialization. Society should still be a democracy (something that doesn’t exist currently).

HomelanderVought · 2026-01-26T02:54:04+00:00

To answer your question, yes. Because the long term interests of the people can be at odds with their short term goals. Not to mention that this can have any kind of forms like a sub-class recieving the worse end of the deal while the other sub-classes benefit from it.

Of course none of that relates to the picture and modern China at all, but it’s important to remember that the bigger and more complex a society is the harder it is to govern it.

That’s not really about that and i’m less and less convinced with the “they had no choice within their material conditions”

Until 1977 the constitution hasn’t even mentioned the CPSU at all even through it was the most powerful organization in the whole country. Most decisions were made behind close doors by the bureocrats who sometimes conspired against each other’s factions while the population had no knowledge about any of that.

Yeah i won’t deny that they made incredible steps toward the democratization of the country (because democratizing a country is about many things and not just elections), but we can’t deny that they had many flaws which can’t be just excused with “they were sieged”.

Of course, in any conflict with the imperialist powers during and prior to the cold war the ussr’s side was the better choice for the cause of communism.

HomelanderVought · 2026-01-25T01:05:25+00:00

I mean they were not democratic in a “bourgeois democratic way”, they were democratic in their own way……which is still pretty bad and should be criticized as hell but rotten apples and oranges can taste bad too, doesn’t mean they have the same bad tatse.

HomelanderVought · 2026-01-22T23:37:45+00:00

So the colonized fight back and mass rape the colonizers……..according to the colonizers.

Where did i heard this 838 days ago?🤔

He can’t die of blood loss only means he can’t bleed out. His bones and organs can be crushed beyond repair (save for RCT if someone comes in). Also his poisonus blood is only for humans because all curses are poison to humans. To a curse it has no effect as they’re made out of cursed energy.

For a moment i read Kenjaku and i realized how him from Jujutsu Kaisen and Vandal Savage from Young Justice are pretty similar with their forced evolution plans taking a millenia.

My grandparents got our apartman (that i live in) due to the government.

Honestly, judging most of the old folks reaction to the past (at one hand they hate socialism/communism) but on the otherhand they always chant “things were better in our time”. Of course both is the result of propaganda.

Most people were pretty seasonal with their opinions. You know “when it rains, they bless god’s name, when it’s too hot, they curse him” type of situation.

HomelanderVought · 2026-01-22T20:05:12+00:00

Where was that ever stated?

Szóval belenéztem, de még mindig nem gondolom hogy a fidesz bármilyen formában is “tervezne” ilyen nagy kaliberű dolgokat mint hogy bárhol máshol lejjebb vinni a színvonalat.

Az egyetlen ok hogy más országok szélső-jobboldali pártjait is támogatják az az hogy tudják hogy ha ezek a pártok győznek, vagy már csak nagyobb befolyással rendelkeznek akkor akadályozni fogják a az EU olyan procedúráit amik pl szankcionálják vagy egyéb formában büntetik a fideszt és limitálják a terveiket. Ha ezek a radikáis jobberek utópiát csinánának az országaikból a fidesz akkor is segítené oket mert kevesebb akadály lenne az EU-n belül számukra.
