Hegel remarks somewhere[*] that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce
Shit flex but okay, Donald Dump

Yer ilk has single-handedly redditized the spirit of true Lemmy, you {redacted}, may you burn in hell!
Fellow transphobes?

Some fellow student named Jordan did it years ago...
I'm still pissed and wondering where wtf he lives
It is possible (and highly encouraged) to use basic critical thinking and be critical of both when relevant.
You would probably classify me as pro-us, because I think tianman square was a horrible massacre and russian forces are commiting war crimes in ukraine. Doesnt mean I’m not critical of american imperialism. You can be critical to both. And in your whataboutism, I think a lot of ML, Hexbear accounts fail to be critical when appropriate of both.
Eh, fair enough.
well, then here's goes nothing, fallacy fallacy!
To be fair, regardless of your political views (pro-U.S or pro-China)
I guarantee, this is a more impactful change than the U.S or China's politics, on their own, will ever get... at least something's new IN THE WORLD
(I'm not even gonna convince y'all on whether China is good or not or America bad; I have my own views, you have yer own)
My man, yk I could just say flip the liberal whataboutism and that being history and also point ye at the U.S occupying parts of Syria, and controlling South Korea's military now as we speak
Huh, do you exactly know exactly the term?
To me, Liberalism is to capitalism, like Christianity was for western feudalism; a ideological framework that the ruling classes of its day uses to justify their existence
Idk... for good starters, I'd ask ye this
I'd rather ask how it is not capitalist
Is it capitalist and hegemonic
Does this federation have a system of unequal exchange and resource exploitation of one place to another, the core, essentially, with the majority of the federation being an large mass of desperate wage and salary laborers, once self-sufficient peasants, in the resource-rich place of the periphery, under the guise of "investment"?
Does this federation love to lend and privatize foreign economies, and cut social spending, a la IMF, in order to dominate the latter's economy?
Does this federation have a policy of CAPITALIST settler-colonialism, based on classical-liberal style property rights and genocide of the indigenous people?
If this is all merely in the past of class struggles and national liberation movements, and the federation has fought and abolished such forms of exploitation, yay
To check if its communist, in the more modern form {there is such thing as primitive communism}, however:
Does this federation wrecked out any chance of capitalist and liberal restoration, due to past 'authoritarianism'?
Does this federation work without the use of money, any proprietorship, social class, and the force of government, but instead with collective ownership of major assets and modern cooperative values or 'ideology' being casually accepted as the norm, instead of as an old-fashioned ideology or academic subject?
This is to ensure that Communism is dominant, as to be practically 'Communist', in such a federation
Does surplus value, from labor, go into the needs of the people, even in its 'authoritarian' fetus defensive form, instead of going towards any capitalist profit or landlord's rent, or any past economic mode of production?
Note: Personal property, such as watches and purses, do not count as private property, unless you're using it to make into an asset, like a steam engine, to run a metro-train system, or a collection of buildings, to take rent upon
This man may look dumb but has actually no brain!No, that's just a plain-out exceptionally right wing American-brain dead theory, the same it would be if you replaced "Biden" with "Trump" in that text, for Communists, especially outside the West...
Of what illusion were their stances not antithetical to each other, in foreign policy especially?
The ebil tankie wankies of course...
Maybe, if there was a new better-fitting, revolutionary superstructure that would replace it
I think by its context, religion was the ideology of feudalism and the medieval times' economy (eg. Hinduism)...
And while it was progressive for its time, when the dawn of a new system came, its weaknesses were exposed...
Well, would ye like to hear my two cents on why that is?
As far as I can tell, different faces, but same old, same old... I mean, literally anyone is better than Biden at the job, considering age...
What do dems worry about her?
Apology for the last memes
I apologize for the "We're all MAGA {when we condemn the attempt on Trump}" meme.... it wasn't even a meme, just headline of some conservative rag called "The Spectator"
Is the Tower of Babel still affecting us or something?
Edit:
We have 8 billion people, yet the best we could muster for the most total speakers of a language is under 2 billion, including non-natives...
> 1. English (1,452 million speakers) > First language: 372.9 million > Total speakers: 1.4+ billion > According to Ethnologue, English is the most-spoken language in the world including native and non-native speakers.

Here's an example from me
If you want to de-normalize a nation's state/government, call them

Other examples include: hospital --> loony bin
Edit: the more I think about it, the more I realize dysphemism are insults?
Is this some sort of remnant of evangelical puritan protestant ideology?
I don't understaun this.
If you ask me, it'd make as much sense as Orthodox and Christians.... or Shia and Muslim...
I know not all Christians are Catholics but for feck's sake...
They're all Christians to me....
Edit:
It's a U.S thing but this is the sort of things I hear...
https://www.gotquestions.org/Catholic-Christian.html
> I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?
I now know more distinctions (apparently Catholicism requires duty and salvation is process, unlike Protestantism?) but I still think they're of a similar branch (Christianity) so I just wonder the social factor
If stage fright is the fear that one has, when performing
Then inbox fright is the fear/dread I have, when it comes to getting replies or reactions, after I post...
Especially if its related to political content
You never know if you're going to pulled into a struggle session over something and sent nasty messages, overall
GulbuddinHekmatyar @lemmy.ml Anyways, I'm Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the warlord of Afghanistan y'all love to hate
I'm political and angry; I don't think I'm gonna have a good faith argument
