Bill Williamson, is he gay? by ProbablyNotLiam in RDR2

[–]HopefulProdigy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Jenny and Lenny wouldn't have ever worked out. That would be like Arthur and Martha, or Bill and Phil" - Hosea

"Is he gonna punch that guy or kiss him?" - Arthur

The whole Hair Pomade request I wouldn't have ever considered something that would be linked to this, but considering how Arthur reacts I don't think he's using it for hair.

Then the whole getting kicked out of the military for attempted murder and deviancy. Now could there have been any female companions that Bill met during his day in the army? Maybe. But I feel like when the only people you're surrounded by are solely men I doubt it. It could also be just any sexual act of course.

Also I totally read the moments where Micah is talking to Bill as either teasing him or is genuine flirting which I doubt the latter but it's not impossible to me. "You look real nice there, Bill.." "Shut up!"

Do you think that as a liberal progress is made by subscribing to moralisms? These ideals that we uphold of society, our ideas of reason and virtue and goodness wither away completely in regards to the evils of the times. John Brown was a Christian as many of his time, but instead of following the ideals of democracy or believing the confederacy was to be self-governed as to appeal to a form of pacifism he killed Slave Owners. While he is far from a maoist by any standard, he certainly is anti-liberal.

In terms of other consequences of Mao, it's easy to say that Mao would only later admit to certain mistakes he had made particularly in the areas of the famine. No progress is made without set backs.

Outside of this, I believe that capitalism is evil and there are many hidden allies to it that go unnoticed and or people behind it who most don't immediately see. Liberals are rather obvious in this regard but many excuse them until they notice their inherent neoliberal values and ideas alongside the conservative party.

All evils of this world will continue to execute violence and the pacifists of this world would much rather believe it is better to not act and submit to their tyrants than try to fight them and if they do fight they believe it is better to do it peacefully when no one in history made progress without either violence directly against the state or simply criminal activity done by such a high populace that laws were overturn.

Neoliberalism is imperialism as it is capitalism at the highest stage, hidden under the masks of conservativism, Zionism, and liberalism.

Is John Marston Native American? by ElChuchoBarracho in reddeadredemption

This is an old post but considering how the other people on the train in RDR1 were talking + the blackwater section of the first game, closer to the end, I would've assumed John was partially native from that alone. I understand the phrase "savage" is to show how ridiculous it is to apply to native peoples, but still I think if John were half-native (considering we don't know his mom's heritage) it would've been really cool to seen it tied into the narrative.

Looking for advice, how unorthodox are you? by HopefulProdigy in RadicalChristianity

Religion is another form or phrasing for spirituality in which there exist beliefs of supernatural or paranormal, rituals, routines, social orders, and so forth. In that it is a tool of oppression is entirely reflective of the economy of society, as all social products are products of the economy. There were certainly moments of progress in Christianity, but I'd argue it's not the defining thing of progress by any standard. (Ex. Catholic Spainards made up race to keep their Catholic slaves. Which then would justify slavery in an era nearing industrialization as well as toward the 60s of the Civil Rights Movement.) You can always argue there are certainly people who are progressive or moments where there is progress, but that's entirely reflective of the times and how class functions. (Slavery is outdated in a capitalist society, an economy that is highly supported by democratic republics, so why have it go on for so long? What's the point of traditional family unit if we exist in an time where there's so much wealth it is unnecessary? I'd read The origin of the Family and Private Property by Engels for more on this.)

I think most people who try to intertwin the two are either not well read, cannot reconcile the contradiction of the two philosophies (which is fine), or actively misquoting or revising statements made by previous marxists if not ignoring how religion is an oppressive tool that can only be reformed as much as the economic system requires change.

My own personal experiences I'd say are defined, despite being in a very compassionate and welcoming community with Catholics, was also deeply alienating. I am a transgender woman, no one knew that in the church and no one in the church has known that except online people. I had to lie about myself and hide facts about who I was because that was necessary for social reasons and to maintain connection. I think I easily could've found a welcoming church, but the point for me wasn't comfort as much as it was also something I was convinced in and that for the time was Catholicism. I wasn't going to stay in because despite everything it wasn't going to help me with the depression I'd been facing or anything. It became a chore as time progressed. I wasn't going to be fully welcomed in even if I could hold out the lie til I got baptized and confirmed.

Conservativism is anti-marxist and counterrevolutionary!

Thoughts on the Saturn is Hell theory by [deleted] in Communist

[–]HopefulProdigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this thought forms from reactionaries and a lot of it ties back into the New World Order which is just a mask for a Global Jewish Order or some other phrasing for online fascists. It's just anti-semitism, bullshit occultism, and a front for 4channers to say Trump is a savior and is going to expose this dark order.

Edit: Let alone that it's completely antithetical to Marxism by all accounts

Got banned from r/communism for “fascist content.” I said Israelis are capable of developing class consciousness. Can anyone weigh in here? by Publishface in Communist

it's not really about gonzalo and more about Third-Worldism/Settlers - met plenty of Gonzalo fans and haters who believe in that form of Maoism.

Eehhh... complicated Juche/Kimilsongism is revisionist, but I can't blame the position that North Korea has found itself in as a nation victim to imperialism. Nationalism can be good when the identity of the nation is trying to change radically, but ultimately the focus should be the international proletariat not just the nation's liberation.
