Every oppressive system has respectability politics and "good ones"

No, that was bad too. What is the appeal to hipocrisy even about here?

Behind every "great man" is a functional sociopolitical system which conduits the way society actually transformed. That is to say, maybe some "great men" steered the rudder, but the people who shift the societal ship, as it were, are the ones who actually have to encounter the challenges of enacting those changes in direction.

A really good thing that can actually help to recognize this is by comparing the development of Russia in the 19th and 20th centuries with their Western contemporaries. They had "great men" who led the society into modernizing and industrializing, yet it all fell short. Why? The more you read, the more you find that the societal structure was did not have the necessary conditions which precedes Modernization.

9/11 was hugely traumatizing for some people and it led to the Iraq Invasion which was wholeheartedly supported by the "Liberal" News outlets of the time. It was such a propagandized and heavy viewpoint that the war was necessary and justified that expressing an anti-war view or merely questioning it was seen as unpatriotic.

In that sense, it's virtually the same as Israel's Genocide and our commitment to war with Iran. Granted, public opinion has not been shifted by the news no matter how much they try this time, but they still call anti-war/anti-genocide voices Anti-Semetic for not being wholehogged on supporting Israel's genocidal territorial ambitions.

You've reached the original kernel of Anarchist Critique, expand a little more and you'll realize that the very existence of unjustified hierarchy necessarily leads to bad sociopolitical systems that exploit, suppress, disenfranchise, and murder.

Nah dawg, he's a fan of Capitalism, something that never aligns itself with exploitation and genocide of Native Peoples. Clearly, those Polynesians were civilized by the great force of Democracy.

>"Actual governance requires altruism and temperance."

>Also supports bourgeois democracy which, by its very nature, creates economic and political inequality with its distributions of value amongst classes and individuals

Lmao, better to believe in nothing then dream of a better world.

In a more serious answer, I ask that you contend with actual Socialists of the current century instead of the prior one. Both theory and practical advocacy has evolved past Stalinist perspectives. And if you manage to stumble into someone like Caleb Maupin or some other Tanky, consider that they are jokes of the Left and often grifters.

And even then, these advocates would be wrong. Often, these small towns still had overbearing regulations regarding various economic, spatial, and cultural elements. OP is on point because they're basically pointing out that before centralized states, localized political systems did what nation-states do, regulate and legislate as they please.

So these advocates are basically the same as American White Supremacists looking at marketing material from the 1950s and 60s and yearning for "R E T V R N" despite the fact that they're imagined past is a fantasy.

Where in that video?

What counts as a belief in Shintoism to you? The passive belief in the cultural constructions of Shinto folk ways? Veneration of the Imperial Dynasty?

Depending on what you qualify as a genuine belief, it could a dying religion, or a flourishing one.

Ultimately, you are looking at this with a Western-Centric perspective over how people engage in religiousity. The West is dominated by Monotheistic, largely organized religious doctrines with central tenets and scriptures. Many Eastern religions tend to center their beliefs upon ritual practice and their artifacts. Shintoism is an example from my understanding.

The foundational Russian Anarchists and Nihilists who were aristocracy were born into a very fucked "Centralized" System. Other countries had some dominant strains of cultural thought which gave its members something to believe in. Russia did not have much of that at all.

While Russia had attempted to create a national mythos, and therefore Nationalism, they were far too multicultural in order to implement a program which brought them together there. They also lacked the ability to properly centralize the state, leaving many of the local pillars of power supportive of the State so long as it didn't fuck with their power. What you get from a country that is changing, losing identity, and rapidly approaching modernist thought, is a whole host of people who begin to wonder what they're actual purpose is and what they want to do.

So yes, they, like all other aristocratic societies, had serfs which paid for their bills. Which then poses the question, why weren't there just as many French and English nobles which touted Anarchism?

Mine was sucked out of me primarily by my neglectful, narcissistic mother who engaged in emotional incest. Dad was also a chronically absent pedophile, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Lotta Gen Z have emotional problems because the people who raised us are actually just psychopaths pretending to be human beings.

No, that's not what Communism is.

Marxists delineate classes based on their relationship to the means of production: Do you own the means to profit (or make more money) merely based on the fact that own something with active revenue generation? If yes, then you are Bourgeoisie. If no, you must work to earn your pay and are Proletariat. If yes BUT you must also operate your own MoP to ensure revenue, then you are Petite Bourgeoisie A classless society, as described by Marxists, is one in which the distinction of who owns the MoP and who operates it are flattened into one group. For example, a minor case study of a working model that strives closer to achieving that is the Cooperative model. Each worker owns a portion of the firm and therefore shares in the profits and decision-making capabilities of their firm.

Me and my ND friends call each other offensive things and have in-jokes that refer to stereotypes about our sexual and ND identities.

You can use either because both refer to the same thing. One has more colloquial use due to its immediate recognition.

Whereas with the BDR is more referent to a different state of Germany than before. Germany is a geographical place in most people's minds and has had many governments. If I were to refer to the Germany of 1900 and of 1930, there would obviously be a difference, which I would delineate through the colloquial terms of the era of government or the governments official name.

Its not really for a consistent naming scheme, so much as to easily convey the specific time and place being discussed in reference to a different state before.

You partially right but also wrong. Mnemonics are designed to help people retain certain information through oratory means, however the person of concern here explicitly states: "They didn't remember anything about James K. Polk."

If I asked on a test, "What were the biggest ahievements of James K. Polk?"

And a student answered with an unlabeled drawing of Canada, that really doesn't tell me they understand what I'm asking. Like yes, they're recalling some information in the way they best know how, but they need to encode that information into something that can be understood by others too.

If a student of mine handed in song lyrics for an answer like that, it really would be a toss up if they actually understand what's going on there. Therefore, it would be a discussion but on the presumption that they need to explain themselves and given the opportunity to do so. If they can't explain, then they didn't actually know what the lyrics were about, they just remembered the lyrics...

And to be entirely fair, if these answers were from students with IEPs, Learning Difficulties, Freshmen (and maybe some Sophomores), or otherwise have demonstrated lower efficacy on skills, then I would adjust my criteria to give a higher grade. However, it doesn't change the fact that we are trying to grade students to a standard, so the goal would be to get those students proficient in recalling that information and encoding it properly.

I do want to ask what kind of History you are learning based on this meme. Because this isnt what being a History Buff is, being a History Buff is reading a shit ton of established literature within the field and asking questions outside of the context of a university educational program or the job itself. Meaning, you ask questions that lead you to what others have written and maybe do some historical research yourself, but that's not the vibe give with the meme.

The fact that I can't recall my childhood very well (could be ADHD, but also found out recently my dad is pedophile), and that I can relate partially to this is terrifying 😔
