It’s never just been the US - Israel doesn’t just have a whole bunch of enablers… said enablers also back the very idea of a modern-day Israel.
France, the UK, Germany, Australia, Apartheid-era South Africa all played their part in helping with all this - I guess the fact that it’s all countries with histories that are deeply entwined with white supremacism, antisemitism and colonialism is purely coincidence, eh?
I learnt meritocracy is a joke long before I discovered that it was literally invented to be a joke.
They will still sell the products they produce in a marketplace.
There is no rule that states they have to sell squat in a marketplace. They could, but they also couldn’t. That’s the whole point of the workers owning the means of production - the workers involved makes those deicisions, not a capitalist or bureaucratic parasite class.
There’s only one kind of democratic economy and we already have a word for it - it’s socialism. If the means of production isn’t owned by the workers it’s not democratic. It’s not socialist.
Eco-fascists unite, huh?
How long do any of you idiots upvoting this think it’ll be until these (so-called) “rangers” start selling rhino horn themselves? That is… if they haven’t already and this is really just them clearing out the competition?
But it already is, isn’t it?
So if this…
nobody’s main defining characteristic should be their gender.
…is what you really want you need to start with cis people and not transgender ones, correct?
We need less progressives and less conservatives. What we need more of is radicals.
“Superhuman” at what? I can’t think of anything dumber than trying to breed “desirable” traits into humans - for every “desirable trait” you put in you are ignoring a plethora of traits that allowed our asses to survive for the last 2 million years.
We desperately need a third or multi party system
So, instead of fixing the problem, you merely suggest adding a third element to it?
make their gender the defining aspect of their character
The vast majority of cishet people (if not all) make their gender the defining aspect of their character - so why should trans people be any different?
There are very few actual atheists - if any. Most “atheists” I’ve encountered are just edgy non-practising Christians. And I bet that goes for other parts of the world with other religions, too.
Musk is doing more to make people realize how garbage capitalism is than Marx ever could.
Tell me you’re attracted to men without telling me you’re attracted to men.
Judging by the pro-fash bootlickers infesting this post it sure looks like Israel’s shill farms have wasted no time slithering onto Lemmy.
This is true… but with some corporations it’s just a case of “fuck you in particular.”
Oh, it turns out the US is the most prolific sponsor of fascist terrorism in the world?
You don’t say!
As a non-USian viewing all this from the outside, I’d say blaming the people at the bottom for what the largest gaslighting machine in the history of human civilization has managed to achieve is absolutely masochistic.
Your anti-democratic political establishment is to blame for this.
