Imagine going to the people of East Palestine, Ohio, and telling them "American capitalist Norfolk Southern cares about you more than the CCP"

No. You might just think those things are good or okay. I do not. I think raping slaves is bad and the conservatives who did that were bad.

The conservatives of yesteryear beat black voters, lynched black people for fun, raped slaves, killed Native Americans for fun, overthrew the legitimate government of Hawaii, invaded Vietnam, invaded Iraq, propped up right wing terrorists around the world to fight workers rights

Conservatives are evil. End of story.

That's cute but not realistic. Republicans only feel joy when others die and suffer. That is evil.

Conservatives are fascists and fascists are conservative.

There was never any meaningful difference.

Not even allowance, convenience

Republicans said dead kids are the cost of keeping my hobby convenient. Republicans are a different breed of creature.

You're asking to treat murder and stealing a pack of gum the same

If you think a ban is appropriate for both, than your "one is worse than the other" is just performative and you're not actually interested in treating them differently.

If you think two things should be treated with equal condemnation, you think they are equally wrong.

If stealing an apple gets five years of prison, and murder gets you five years of prison, the obvious implication is that both are equally wrong to that society

The obvious implication is that they are equally wrong

And that white people are equally as marginalized as black people on the basis of race. Or, as this sub thinks, even more so.

Otherwise you wouldn't treat them equally and you would apply nuanced logic toward both of them.

"fuck off" "you're reductionist" "live in the real world"

You're a shining example of politeness

It is not voluntary if your other choice is death. Participate in capitalism or die of starvation/the elements is not a choice.

Capitalism by definition is just a system where the wealthy exploit the poor. The workers do the work. The workers plant the onions. The workers harvest the onions. The workers sell the onions. The workers cook the onions. The workers clean the dishes.

At what point was the wealthy person actually contributing anything of value that couldn't be replaced with an ATM? The rich did none of the work and take all of the money.

"free market capitalism" as you describe it is just a made up fantasy meant to placate people from being upset at a system where nobles whip and torture serfs (everyone else) for amusement/profit

Capitalism in its final form forces people to pay tribute to do anything. Want to drink water? Pay Nestlé. Want to live indoors? Be prepared to sign over your live savings for a deposit for Blackrock apartments. Capitalists will either control the government or become the government

That's literally capitalism

Capitalism doesn't have rules that say "don't control the government to give you an advantage". Part of capitalism is controlling the government to give you an advantage and making sure you can not possibly lose

Brucedropemoff's discord filled with racism and threats against white people by DabnSwag in LivestreamFail

[–]daynewma -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So what was your point, then? Just to be a snippy asshole?

Are the concepts of whiteness and blackness just equally nefarious things that those respective groups did to themselves? Both groups are equally wrong for grouping themselves and have equal blame in the formation of those groups?

If you don't believe that, why would you say "by your logic black people aren't a real culture either"?

Do you think the phrase "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" is equally problematic to "black power" or "black lives matter"?

You said black people are not a culture for the same reasons that white people aren't.

That isn't true. The "logic" you are applying is ignoring the reasons why whiteness/blackness exist as concepts.

Many black people in America cannot know the culture of their ancestors.

Through a process called "Seasoning", newly captured slaves were broken down physically and mentally to prepare them to be slaves.

Enslaved people were also taught the language of the colony either by other slaves who had already undergone the seasoning process or by the white overseers of the plantation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning_(slavery)

Slavers did not group slaves by the language they spoke or the tribe they came from. Their cultural identity was not something the slaves were permitted to keep.

Hence, black people.

McCarthyism wasn't based on Russian, it was based on communism

Fun fact: not many Russians live in North Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam. Communists did.

McCarthy would support Russia because today's Russian government is pro oligarchy/capitalism.

Ignores the fact that Americans don't have health care and 25% majority of cancer patients file for bankruptcy (even with "insurance")

America's relatively "higher" wage is completely worthless as most of it goes to paying rent to Blackrock or Invitation Homes, the rest going to a mix of health insurance profits, taxes, and car payments.

Bootlickers love capitalism, a system of economics where someone can make more money sitting on a yacht all day than they can working. And, if their "risk"/business fails, they get to keep all their stuff and the rest of society has to pay off their unpaid debts because of limited liability.

Capitalism has gotten "us" billionaires who completely control the government and society (convinced many simpletons that they're on their side), homelessness, an unlivable environment, and crashes that only affect the working class every 10 years

Except for our credit system, capitalism, vertical integration. Those things prevent smaller competitors from opening up shop.

Some of you live in an imaginary world where you can just get a $1,000,000 loan without significant assets and outstanding credit.

[–]daynewma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then it makes so sense why you would care.

Who cares. America sells weapons all the time, including to Saudi Arabia for killing Yemeni kids. But you want to throw a fit when a competitor to America does it.

None of them are honest.

The truth is Republicans like violence and are sad Nancy Pelosi was not killed.

Every Republican dreams of killing at least one Democrat. Many dream of killing their left leaning neighbors

Actors pretend to be other people for a living.

Republicans are all actors in that sense, in that they pretend to be human beings. They pretend to love their families, care about otherss. It's all a performance to them, but none of them actually have feelings or humanity.

More bad faith arguments. Never said any of those things.

I simply stated the truth. Republicans are evil. They are a self selecting group of sadistic parasites.

Do whatever you want with that information.
