  • blah blah blah I don’t know my ass from my elbow

    • you

    MLK Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail:

    I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

  • Their comments are not well organized. Look at their comment history; they write like a bot trained to generate pseudo-profound bullshit.

  • Why are all of your replies indistinguishable from a bored algorithm

    Why do you keep projecting onto others the thing that people keep saying about you: that you write like a bot?

  • Why do I need to reread the book? What do you think I don’t understand?

    I’m quite aware that Al Jazeera’s name is on the video. It’s right there, out in the open. All the video does is summarize Herman & Chomsky’s propaganda model. Do you think Al Jazeera’s involvement will give you cooties somehow?

  • And the US State Department is literally the US State Department. The same US that just aided and abetted a Palestinian genocide for 15 months.

    And Noam Chomsky is Noam Chomsky, regardless of who funded the production of that video.

  • Did you unironically send us to a US gov propaganda website to get information about a US enemy state’s disinformation?

  • The Western capitalist states just did a twenty year long “war on terror” based on lies, causing the deaths of millions, and are complicit in supporting a 15 month long genocide of Palestinians, and you’re super-concerned about China’s human rights abuses as reported by those same Western states, which are virulently anti-communist and known to push BS anti-communist narratives for the last century?

    Neither Washington nor Beijing, but actually Washington.

  • The very first sentence of the Wiki entry invalidates your argument that EU countries are socialist. They’re not even working toward socialism, because they’re not working toward abolishing private ownership of the means of production. In fact they’ve all been moving in the opposite direction ever since Margaret Thatcher. They’ve been privatizing things that had been public.

  • In any case, Tankies hate socialism, they see it as nothing but trying to “make capitalism work with regulation” and they strive for abolishment of capitalism entirely.

    I think you are confusing “socialism” with “capitalism with social safety nets.”

    Socialism is the abolition of private ownership of the means of production, and private ownership of the means of production is what capitalism is. All versions of socialism are anti-capitalist, including communism.

    You don’t even have a Wikipedia-level understanding of capitalism, socialism, or communism. Have you even read the first few paragraphs of the Wiki entries for the concepts you pretend to be knowledgeable of?

  • Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays (and Herman & Chomsky) literally wrote the books on it.

  • Where are you getting this idea? Only about 10% have dual-citizenship. Who’s going to absorb the other 90%? And most probably aren't wealthy enough to simply pick up their lives and leave.

  • If it’s a pejorative term, then you’re not building the justification for its usage that you think you are.

  • Your views seem to coincide with Russian propaganda.

    You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler.

    Views stand of their own merits irrespective of such coincidences.

  • Please enlighten us, vagueposter, what does it explain?

  • Lemmy.ml and its moderation, am I getting something wrong?

    Yes, you are the most important person in the Lemmyverse and the removal of misposting of non-open source content to an open source community is the most important thing happening in the Lemmyvarse. So pinging all the admins and mods is perfectly reasonable behavior. Everyone should stop whatever they're doing and pay attention to you.

    • For Antifa, No Platform for Fascism To prevent ‘Alt-Right’ ideas from being taken seriously, the anti-fascist argument is that you don’t even let them start to have a platform in society.

      I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

      And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

      Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

      "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

      And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

      And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

      And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.
