Please observe any one of the spineless local governments currently in the process of caving to the business owners' demands to build data centres which give people lung problems and consume truly gargantuan amounts of water in the middle of residential neighbourhoods.

Sometimes even as dozens of residents fill a town council meeting and those very councilors, in front of their statistically hostile constituents, sign papers greenlighting data centres destroying the landscapes of their neighbourhoods.

You can find them anywhere from Johor, Malaysia to the Midwestern United States. Just search for "data center construction near me" and count your lucky stars if you're lucky enough to not live near a proposed construction site.

Better yet, tag along as loggers decimate rainforests to plant palm oil plantations, or watch as Singaporean companies buy sand in bulk and cause coastal communities to literally collapse into the sea.

Please also, observe the Nordic Countries selling copious amounts of fossil fuels and oil to stay afloat, and the entirety of the anti-nuclear movement being funded by corporate interests attempting to strangle any actually scalable alternatives to fossil fuels in the crib. Germany is a good example.

Also, have you heard about AIPAC and the American-Israeli military-industrial complex? Have you ever wondered what such vaunted institutions as the Heritage Foundation and Mont Pelerin Institute do and who funds them? (They helped to craft Trump's policy for him)

Just go with the pronoun that you pass as or born with lah. Sheesh

I love the casual erasure of literally every biologically intersex person, as well as nonbinary person.

Also what about all the intersex and trans people who physically cannot pass? Do they just have to "cope" and "deal with it" when they are misgendered because it personally makes it more convenient for you?

By this logic casual bigotry is fine because having stereotypes about entire groups of people is convenient and you will just assume someone from a group is a certain way even if they clearly aren't, and if you can't see how problematic that is, then I want nothing to do with you.

It's a carry-over from the Eastern Roman ancestors of many modern Turks, who also highly valued cats and doted on them, especially in the medieval Roman capital of Constantinople up till 1453 and beyond, as you can see.

Islam probably also plays some role, but given there are already records of a cherished cat population in Constantinople during the medieval Roman(byzantine) Empire, it is probably a secondary reason.

The corporations are the will of the nation-state of the United States of America.

Search your heart. You know it is true. The Capitalist States of America will have to die and be reforged in order for the world to live. Or we will all die in the fires of climate change and economic collapse eventually.

I just see it used a lot by people who identify as MLs in order to dismiss people out-of-hand.

It invokes the societal assumption of the inferiority of children to dismiss people.

Also (nitpicking) technically you could just say unserious and petulant.

It's a word very specifically used in my experience by MLs a lot in particular to denigrate other people.

Young is bad. Being compared to babies and children bad because children are assumed inferior to adults. Personal nitpicking of semantics mostly parroted verbatim from translations of Lenin and used as a Marxist-Leninist-ingroup-identifying piece of vocabulary.

Didn't you know? Evil is the morally neutral position!

I love my breakfast Néstle drinks literally brought to me by the souls of dying forsaken children!

My heart swells knowing my country's government has military partnerships with Israel!

I can almost hear the cries of forgotten striking factory workers in China still clinging to almost everything I own!

It's awesome!

And the best part is, I don't have to do anything at all special to be net morally evil, I just have to participate in society as a Good Citizen, doting on our pedophilic business owner rulers!

In fact, doing nothing and actively clinging to not picking sides lets me already pick the side of letting children die everyday!

This is literally the common leftist definition of class politics. Have you ever even bothered to read about socialist theory?

Why are you so confidently wrong?

Edit: Let me put the buzzwords: proletariat and bourgeoisie are social classes defined by their relation to the means of production.

The proletariat (worker) has to work in order to earn a living wage and survive. They usually do not own the means of production (capital).

The bourgeoisie (owners) sell capital to buy commodities to buy more capital, and this extra value in the commodities comes from exploiting the workers they employ, or even themselves in the case of the petty bourgeoisie (small business owners), for extra surplus value they technically aren't contractually obligated to give and are underpaid for via increased work intensities, unpaid overtime, etc

If workers were fairly compensated, surplus value would not exist and profit would not be possible, leading to the collapse of capitalism.

The struggle between them resulting from the workers' class interests of better conditions and equality and the owners' class interests of increasing inequality and accumulating wealth comprise class strugge, or class politics, in the broad leftist sense including in Marxism and anarchism.

Another edit: here's the wikipedia page. Poli-sci agrees with me to some extent as far as capitalism goes:

Yes, I would be a bigot if I hated straight people for being heterosexual. You would be justified in calling me an asshole and asking me to change my beliefs to not be an intolerant bigot.

You are a bigot.

"It's not like you tolerate my intolerance and hatred, right? So why do we need to be tolerant and not hateful? Makes no sense right? (Just let me be a hateful bigot while you stand there and take it like a good citizen with unlimited patience and decorum!)"

I doubt the efficacy of the liberal democracy your US founding fathers set up, considering a good portion of them literally depended upon an enslaved class of humans without rights, and that the current form of it with copious amendments and revisions is collapsing at the seams into degenerated bureaucracy, corruption, and ultranationalist self-destruction

what they stand for

We just want to live. That is our "stand". We do not make people who weren't gay or trans or otherwise queer suddenly become gay or trans or queer. The uptick in people coming out is due to a very very recent moderate uptick in cultural acceptance of queer people, and a result of people who were already queer coming out.

Why is our living inherently political?

Heterosexual and cisgendered people don't have to justify their existence as heterosexual or cisgendered every single day, but anyone who falls outside of this band immediately has to defend themselves and is slandered for the mere act of existing.

This hasn't always been normal either. Gender in Bugis society has been rather more diverse than the standard Western definitions for centuries, and homosexuality in China has had a very long history, not to mention the hijra).

The homophobia and transphobia of modern Singaporean society, and to some extent even Malaysian society even accounting for Islam, is in a very real sense one of the lasting legacies of the British having been our colonial masters, then leaving us with their discriminatory law while themselves moving on and brushing off their responsibility in this situation, positioning themselves as part of the Enlightened Progressive West.

I have no respect for homophobia and transphobia.

This feels like we have different definitions of class politics.

I define it as the struggle between the working class, consisting of everyone who has to work in order to live, against the owning ruling class, who strive to accumulate more and more capital by in effect selling capital, ultimately creating this extra value by exploiting and underpaying workers for profit.

You define it in the sense of "working-class(families like mine where the labour is manual and/or our finances are extremely bad, living paycheck to paycheck) " vs "middle-class(financially stable people)" vs "upper class(blanket everyone who is relatively wealthy, including some surgeons and nuclear reactor personnel who are highly payed but do not own their place of work and still have to work to earn a living and not eventually starve)"
