  • I enjoy a bit of anarchist dunking but at the end of the day I see us as allies against a very imposing enemy so, personally, am not very interested in contesting anarchist theory. I will say though that your characterization of a largely ML community as accepting media narratives is probably the least charitable way you could have approached this disagreement. Then again, you were coming into an uncharitable take so I'm not holding it against you.

  • Is there any reason someone from another instance wouldn't be able to see an entry's references if they actually bothered clicking the drop-down arrow?

  • I'm sure your conversational partner is going to appreciate and respond kindly to your contrition, because he was reeking of good faith.

    Good luck comrade!!

  • Ms Rachel is pretty much a gold standard imo. I'm a parent who is very anal about screen time, don't forbid it but it's extremely curated and controlled, and because I enjoy researching I've consumed a lot of toddler content.

    She comes to play, dawg. She beats out all the other toddler slop (even sesame street) because the vast majority of her catalogue is shit you should be doing, just recorded on a screen. She's educated and employing methods that, if you pay attention and pick up, will genuinely help your kid along. There's a dozen 'Ms X' channels out there and if they're worth anything at all it's because they're almost a 1:1 copy of Ms Rachel's content. The rest are slop. Cocomelon is slop. Paw Patrol is slop. Seriously, none of them compare to the actual value of an hour of Ms Rachel.

    I say all this because my read of her has been that she's an extremely professional and ethical person. I was watching her with my kid before she came out about Gaza and while I was chuffed in a very parasocial way, I wasn't surprised at all. Dedicated children's educators always carry a huge amount of empathy as they must teach it.

    She's filling a niche in the new media toddler landscape that almost everyone else has decided to exploit with pure brainrotting slop. Got me typing up paragraphs with no point just because I want to express her sheer basedness. If Ms Rachel has no fans then I'm dead.

  • I think the malice against Parenti is a reaction to Chomsky's controversial past.

  • Yes this is a strong point I don't disagree with either. I look at it like this: Yes, parents should be afforded their natural right to access their children. No, parents should not have medical, total financial, or personal control over their kids until an arbitrary age. The secret sauce imo is properly socialized childcare; parents could be granted the benefit of the doubt that they'll do right because there's so many resources available to them to make it manageable, this also ensures a social standard of education & healthcare applied at the youngest possible age.

    At that stage you could severely increase the legal penalties for neglecting your child and introduce more safety nets in way of developmental check-ins and home visits. I would support an outright 'parenting license' in a hypothetical society where childcare was completely socialized.

  • Just like how social production is distinct to regular production I think the hierarchy between parent and child is also unique and incomparable to more material connections like 'slave/master.' Parents have some inherent justification to the life experience they lord over their literal immobile infant; how this changes over time and between individuals, and with intent, is a conversation to have, but in general a well-intentioned parent deserves to inhabit the position in the hierarchy.

  • Elon claims he rejected Epsteins invitations to visit his island, but the released files show he was BEGGING to go - And it seems like Epstein was letting him down gently

  • The richest guy around wastes his time by getting into pointless online arguments like the rest of us peasants. Except he also does it the most, his sleep is fucked up because he argues with people online so much. That heatmap of his twitter activity is crazy.

    aspects of reality stop us from losing ourselves too deep in the rage algo. you can't really stay up all night rage tweeting if you have to go to work. so the urge gets the better of all of us but most of us are saved from the worst of it.

    musk has no such material obligation to maintain his body so he can stay up all night rage tweeting, and there's a delicious, palpable irony that he himself is partially responsible for the incessant urge to engage that he feels

  • The Communist Party of Vietnam needs a Xi Jingping-like moment that will bring the party more towards its original ambitions.

  • I'm not that well-read on Vietnam but my read is this is probably a deliberate decision to stop them from having their leaders stolen in the night or having to become reclusive due to sanctions

  • Do you think the "Left-Right" discourse is anti materialist and the correct categories should be 'pro-capitalism' or 'pro-communism'?

    Jump

  • Yes, I really do think the divide has and always will be capitalism vs communism, private property ownership vs equitable distribution. In some parts of the world and for much of history the left/right divide was serviceable and even helpful to the cause. It's my opinion the active influence of the American government and the American new-left movement have so badly tarnished the concept of a left/right divide that it's no longer helpful. Left implies too much and paradoxically excludes so many working class people.
