They definitely totally care about peace and human life though, and are certainly not cynical opportunists doing their best to prolong two different conflicts because there’s money to be made

Knowing the pettiness of the economist, im shocked the header image wasn’t some variation of soyjak

What’s it like in the year 1957?

ITT: guys who probably consider themselves too smart for religion thinking in terms dictated by the church.

“Deserving” and "undeserving* are made up concepts disconnected from any concrete reality, just shards of Christianity preserved in the amber of American civic religion and exported throughout the capitalist-dominated world. If you talk about who “deserves” this or that, you might as well be talking about who’s holy and who’s a sinner. The truth is, we are just animals who banded together tens of thousands of years ago to help each other survive. Many anthropologists say that society began when we started taking care of those who could no longer contribute as much physically: the old, the sick, the injured. But hey, if you want to be less socially evolved than a bunch of cave-dwelling hunter gatherers, that’s your choice. Just don’t expect the rest of humanity to entertain your rotten ideas about useless eaters, and don’t act surprised when you find yourself put out on the ice.

I guess guns are pretty neat, if you ignore all the massacres and the school shootings and the suicides and most of the other people who like guns

Unless you’re one of the billions capitalism has decided it’s more profitable to slaughter, starve or plunge into a lifetime of poverty making t shirts and truck tires. Then you don’t get to enjoy shit.

One small problem, we don’t actually have one of those

Are you a bot?

Everyone who does not believe my simple nationalist conspiracy answer to the incredibly broad questions of class antagonism and capitalist social decay is simply not a real person: a soothing fairy tale for nascent fascists-in-training.

I’d love to say yes, but ironically changing that state of affairs is going to require a lot of violence

A Russian agent

this shit reminds me of medieval serfs who would swear that the new, bad king is a puppet of the rival dynasty or the Pope or whatever. This Russian puppet thing was a masterstroke of propaganda, because it gave liberals, who were already American exceptionalists, the perfect excuse to substitute xenophobia for an actual critique of capitalism. Could Trump be a result of and manifestation of a rancid homegrown ideology that arose from the contradictions between the classes? No, he’s being controlled by the bad foreigners. Hell, I bet Hitler was a puppet of Rasputin, and the third reich was all just a Russian plot to weaken Germany .

“Ugh, why do these dirty commies keep supporting the socialist projects we’ve genocided? Don’t they understand that they’re full of lesser people who deserved what we did to them?”

Whataboutism

God damn libs fucking hate Korea. Democracy and self-determination for rich people in white countries, genocide and occupation for everyone else

Nowadays there is a corollary that goes “As an online argument goes on, the chances of one or more participants revealing themselves to be Hitler approaches 1”

They laundered all of Europe and America’s sins through him like a fascist Jesus

I understand that this does not comport with the comic book version of history you wish to live in, but them’s the facts

They were the Ukranian SSR tho, they had statehood
