Struggle session: people here need to stop calling for "unlimited genocide on the first world"
I shouldn't have to say this on a """communist""" forum, but here we are. Calling for unlimited genocide on the first world (lmao point out the "first world" on a map, I'll wait) is obviously reactionary on top of being idealist.
The idea that anything can be "unlimited" is pure capitalist decadence based on its foundational need for unlimited growth.
Any real socialist should be calling for a genocide that has its resources planned and allocated by a People's Genocide Committee and is then executed over five years. The genocide would be limited in both resource and geography, and thus, be a materialist genocide.
Or, even better, they might consider a means-tested genocide.
Unironically it is a cringe joke. People on this site saw a funny comic joking about some leftists unhinged online rhetoric and decided to replicate it ad nauseam for some reason. Get better material (like this post you made which is funny)
The comment you linked to calls it relatable, explains why it's not wack, and why jokes like this are inevitable, though
Also, a politics of violent revolution makes flippant humor inevitable
This comment explains why I find it not wack... no, people are not literally calling for it, yes, it is an inside joke, and also no, the west is not being "cruelly oppressed" or whatever by hearing people say it (rather the opposite, I think western reactions to it expose their own persecution complex which is a response to some level of denial/dissociation from societal guilt)
Yeah and I relate to why people do it. The comment also explains with nicer words than those I possess that it is unhinged language or whatever you want to call it.

Zionists get to their own genocide because of the holocaust. When they're done, then the remaining palistinians get their turn. And so on and so forth.
So at what point is the tone policing going to loop back around and destroy every cultural aspect you all clung to for years? Like sexually harassing people for pictures of their cock? When did you lose the plot this badly that irony and sarcasm were ceded back to "the chuds"?
The site doesn't even make it clear if a title is going to expand into text or is itself a hyperlink but you certainly got my ass with this one. So I will respectfully log off and Do Better and Grow And Learn. 60 comments made it look like an actual meltdown
Maybe I am missing a UI element from my messed up user.js - but this is a very real countercurrent happening right now against Jason Hickel and other people who state the obvious without explicitly elaborating on the internal struggle of the American worker (the only one that matters worldwide). So you'll have to forgive me for jumping at shadows.
There is currently a gender struggle session going on in the middle of a genocide because the news thread was apparently not focused enough on gender discussion (during a genocide). It really looks like a team of wreckers has taken over the site from the other Lemmy instances and are farming this place for humorous screenshots.
