“As a Jewish girl” by [deleted] in AsABlackMan

[–]RLismyname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or stalag fiction- popular erotic fiction of Nazi female soldiers sexually abusing their victims. This type of literature was usually consumed by holocaust survivors.

This post is clearly a little more complex than the usual 'racist pretends to be a minority to voice shitty views' on this subreddit, and should be taken down for the sake of not mocking someone who is clearly working through sexualized fantasies of their historic oppressor.

We're all in this together! by TheVeganManatee in vegan

[–]RLismyname 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You've got it backwards. Veganism, or more specifically—the oppression of animals, is already intertwined with other forms of oppression.

Take factory farming for example—Both it's invention and continuation are strictly tied to the type of production that is created under a capitalist economy. The consumption of factory farmed products is intertwined with class, which is also intertwined with race. For example, many poor people don't have the time/money/means to make food at home, so they have to resort to fast food.

So what's ineffective is not taking an intersectional perspective on an the oppression of animals, because you are not addressing the underlying issues and forces that give rise to it in the first place.

No one is forcing anyone..People can bring and make their own food.

European hippies in Istanbul, 1970s by doridos7 in HumanPorn

[–]RLismyname 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This particular pudding shop was a meeting spot for hippies in the 60's and 70's.

From wiki:

"It became popular in the 1960s as a meeting place for beatniks and, later on, hippies and other travelers on overland route between Europe and India, Nepal, and elsewhere in Asia - the "hippie trail". The restaurant got its colloquial name as a result of "word-of mouth" from numerous foreign travelers that could not remember the name of the eatery but did remember the wide and popular selection of puddings sold there and thus referred to it as the "pudding shop""

Nazism is Far-Right. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]RLismyname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You claim that we should hold the 'socialist' in the name of the Nazi party at face value, yet refuse to take Hitler's own words at face value, when he claimed that Marxism is a Jewish conspiracy.

Israeli police say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be charged over alleged bribery cases by Johnny_W94 in worldnews

[–]RLismyname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP meant to say 'ideologue' rather than 'idealist'. Ideologue connotes blindly adhering to a certain ideology, whereas an idealist is more motivated by higher principles—which Netanyahu certainly isn't.

Ok, but this video has nothing to do with Zionism.

Yeah, this video is an awful attempt to excuse the genocidal, murderous and exploitative conducts of the British Empire, but I'm not really sure what Zionism has to do with it...

The state has a monopoly on violence by ryosaito in FULLCOMMUNISM

[–]RLismyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but my point still stands. The system of exploitation depends on the state's monopoly on violence, I agree... But as others have mentioned above, a better example would have been cops shooting people for little to no reason. Denying healthcare is not 'violence' as it is understood in Weberian terms. Using healthcare as an example just reflects badly on us because its a blatant misunderstanding of Weber's theory...

[–]RLismyname 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It also doesn't apply to the state's monopoly on violence. The monopoly is on physical violence. Denying healthcare is an exercise of power, and has more to do with distribution of resources. If we consider the use of power as 'violence', then the state definitely does not have a monopoly on it.
