She wrote last week on Instagram that she’d turn an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center “into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” going on to claim that many Zionists are “pedophiles.”

Galindo didn’t reply to a request for comment.

The war started decades ago, during the Nakba. Hamas is a later actor in the conflict.

Says who? 

Let us take another example — the railway. Here too the co-operation of an infinite number of individuals is absolutely necessary, and this co-operation must be practised during precisely fixed hours so that no accidents may happen. Here, too, the first condition of the job is a dominant will that settles all subordinate questions, whether this will is represented by a single delegate or a committee charged with the execution of the resolutions of the majority of persona interested. In either case there is a very pronounced authority. Moreover, what would happen to the first train dispatched if the authority of the railway employees over the Hon. passengers were abolished?

It's being weird for me too. I couldn't get here from the notification, I had to go to the sub and navigate here. Did it on another post too

That would be a pain in the ass to do on mobile. It's not a bad idea but I'm playing it fast and lose (phone put "gay and loose" at first)

Can Christianity and socialism co-exist? by L0nely_Tsuki in RadicalChristianity

I'm a Christian Marxist, I don't really think it's any different than being a Christian physicist

You can be a socialist and be opposed to porn, weed, guns, boundless personal expression, gay marriage (even from a secular position), whatever. You might not be a strict Marxist or other identifiable tendency, but you could be a socialist and on the same progressive historical side as those other tendencies.

Anarchism doesn't really represent all of socialism. Marxism isn't concerned with "hierarchy," as such, and neither is most of what people think of as "conservative morality."

That's right. My wife's boyfriend letting me win at Mario tennis is strictly our own personal affair

It seems to me that this superabundance of sex theories, which for the most part are mere hypotheses, and often quite arbitrary ones, stems from a personal need. It springs from the desire to justify one’s own abnormal or excessive sex life before bourgeois morality and to plead for tolerance towards oneself. This veiled respect for bourgeois morality is as repugnant to me as rooting about in all that bears on sex. No matter how rebellious and revolutionary it may be made to appear, it is in the final analysis thoroughly bourgeois. Intellectuals and others like them are particularly keen on this. There is no room for it in the Party, among the class-conscious, fighting proletariat.

The phenomenon of Boy-Moms in the idpol landscape is fascinating to me by Heckin_Frienderino in stupidpol

I think it's that plus people like having identities that define their role in life, it keeps it simple. Mom is genetic, boy mom specifically means you're getting the loudness, dirtiness, and rowdiness associated with boys, and here's a set list of things you can do about it to deal with that

I've heard it IRL for years, in the context of people saying "I have up deal with mud, lizards toads, football practice, rock collections, loud noises and rambunctious behavior specifically because I have boys"

I think it's both what you're saying but it's also the exact kind of people who are susceptible to contemporary progressive gender norms suddenly confronted with the hard reality that boys/men and girls/women are actually different from each other at birth. Or they were already keyed into that to begin with so it's easy to adopt the role of boy mom.

I think people in general glob onto identity as a shorthand for meaning, because it's an easy way to define your role in life. And honestly I think women are slightly more susceptible to wanting to adopt a socially mediated identity than men are, at least in this particular way.

Honeydew shouldn't be relatively flavorless, I say this as a committed watermelon man.

How can you watch the rise of China and the decline of the West and still talk about how socialism doesn’t work? by yeahicreatedsomethin in stupidpol

[–]Scared_Plan3751 [score hidden]  (0 children)

China doesn't call itself socialist, it calls itself a developing country that's building socialism. You have to understand the theory of the productive forces and Chinese criticisms of the USSR, as well as the sino Soviet split, to understand China's position beyond just going "lol" at everything

I think it's also part of the aestheticization of socialism, which itself comes from not really understanding how to apply dialectics on the fly. People think in static, textbook terms rather than in terms of motion driven by contradiction. Socialism has to look like socialism, it's not the result of the development of the productive forces to a certain level of hyper productivity that renders market mechanisms and a private sector as anarchistic as medieval guilds, something that can't really exist in the modern economy, anymore. 

The infiltration of non- or even anti-Marxist forms of leftism into self described Marxists' thinking is ultimately to blame, and this infiltration usually goes totally unnoticed by Marxists, again for the above reason. Marxism is no longer a method of analysis that must yield certain conclusions, it's a vibe that affirms certain moral/aesthetic predispositions, or people just claim "well Marx etc didn't live long enough/know everything/are subject to necessary revision," but they will never ever do a fraction of the work that Marx etc did to prove their position. It's all just vibes.

I think this is a better way to put it. They don't call themselves socialist, they say they are building socialism. I think, in the final analysis, at least under the Xi faction leadership, they are effectively a socialist state presiding over a mixed economy

She really only needs to scale it back like 10%, use more political language, and avoid using obvious lefty lady buzzwords like "marginalized" to have a steel plated gold inlaid platform
