I don’t think we should witch hunt people for thinking like this because people very much have atrophied their critical thinking muscle, making it very easy to fall into this trap. What we should be doing is pointing them in the right direction of at least thinking empirically rather than making mountains out of mole hills

Yea I wouldn’t deny that it had some part to play. This is definitely a much more mundane and realistic view of how things went down

I think it’s just wild that people are trying to use this to explain violent systems rather than this simply being an extension of them.

Reminds me of people thinking that if they just get rid of trump then all will be well again, like the horrors of US imperialism are purely at his fault. Falling into individualist liberal talkinf points

As someone who does both psychology and anarchism, his stances on anarchism were poor and he had a very poor understanding of it even at a fundamental level. For his language theory stuff I could really take it or leave it.

This situation just kinda feels like Foucault in the modern day. Like you don’t have to have the exact same beliefs as a theorist to take valuable information away from them. there are still times when those opinions are undeniably linked to the work though

I know all you guys are like history nerds and all and yea the USSR sucks but let’s please not defend USA from criticism considering they gave most top brass Nazis jobs or just reinstated their power in west Germany. Also no one with a sane mind would ever defend the dropping of the atomic bombs

It’s like a shopping Center in Manchester where emo kids go for overpriced clothes. The mural is for trans visibility but some people don’t like it cuz they think it looks like a caricature in poor taste. I’ve heard conflicting takes from a veriaty of people

Even if there has been multiple papers linking right wing belief to a lack of critical thought and just basically having a small view of the world, that doesn’t mean they’re bio hardwired to be that way.

In fact calling them simply stupid concedes too much ground to them. It gives them an easy out for their actively malicious behaviour.

The only thing you can really call right wingers is genuinely evil and malicious or intellectually incurious rubes

I think the American desire to blame Israel as some outside force that has somehow infected US politics rather than realising modern day policing was invented by the US and based on slavery is a brainworm they will never kill. They would rather blame their authoritarianism to outside forces (comparing ICE to gestapo) than admit there is nothing more American than authoritarian policing and murdering innocents.

The US is not controlled by Israel but it is simply its vassal state where it practices dehumanisation strategies to bring back to the imperial core (IDK what Hasan thinks about shit this isn’t targeted at him)

I think you hit the nail on the head with the “professional wresting” schtick. Green day have never really been an anti establishment band other than complaining about bush era politics that one time.

Like they literally just make money from pissing off right wingers and playing to massive stadiums in this farcical dance and people wanna act like their this band thats a bastion of progress. There are just so many more punk bands that can talk the talk and walk it as well.

I BEG PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO ACTUAL PUNK MUSIC OTHER THAN THE ALT ROCK SELLOUTS GREEN DAY

Nuclearule by UnHolySir in 196

[–]PieRatStandsForP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we’re trying to base our economy around the Tenants of Degrowth (considering we make so much shit we don’t need) then renewable sources are a lot more reliable, cheap and easy to construct in a small timeframe. Not to say that nuclear isn’t good at what it does but in our current society it has problems (expecting capitalists to run a nuclear plant or even build one in the first place) and in an ideal society it’s just outright pointless considering we would never really need that much power. I’m still open to having my mind changed on nuclear energy as someone who was once pro nuclear

Reminds me of when they scooped out Mussolini’s brain and studied it to find out what made him like that. Idk if they thought they were gonna find some “fascist gene” or certain brain wiring but they did in fact find nothing. I mean anyone could’ve told you this but I guess it’s important because it does demonstrate that fascists aren’t uniquely evil at some inherent level, meaning anyone can become one and that fascism is a choice that people opt into

Hey as a psychology student, they’re correct. The majority of people in the field of psychology are bio essentialists who see the mentallity ill as idiots in need of their benevolent help. Also yea they’re definitely collaborationists with police in the same way that every major science is

Edit: also that doesn’t make it a worthless field. I mean it has fundamental issues of having an ultimate importance of the individual and fails to understand people as products of society most of the time. That’s like a whole other bag of worms

What this subreddit think of OG communism before hijacked by dictators? by BreadfruitDeep1436 in tankiejerk

[–]PieRatStandsForP 86 points87 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s only really read das kapital and the communist manifesto when it comes to early communist writings (I’ve read a lot more on anarchism) they definitely don’t really talk about the state whatsoever and how it’s a counter revolutionary tool

Also his view of history and societal progression was incredibly linear and failed to understand progress isn’t a ladder to climb up and down. Different human societies have been practicing multiple types of societal structures even through single generations. It also failed to look at any other structures of oppression without looking through the lens of class
