He was also a fascist who praised Franco on spanish TV, and was disappointed when the Nazis surrendered. He deserted the red army instead of staying and fighting the nazis hahaha. There are anti-communist professors you know, they authored those studies. They come from the black book of communism, which lists Nazi soldiers as 'victims of communism' hahaha if those were the types of people that communists genocided, I wish they had killed 10x more. Mao killed a tremendous amount of imperialists, and their sympathizers, yes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with protecting your country from people who want to sell it's resources and people's labor off to the highest bidding foreign power.

@Michael Cueva you're mostly right, just what Nietzsche meant in detail was that god is a creation of humans, used to keep people on track and not do evil. Throughout history this was a very important authority because people feared god and therefore did as they were told by him and maybe him only. But society has evolved and as you said a moral code has been established outside church and religious guidelines, laws are in place and work as well. So there is no more need for a god and many people abandoned the idea of his existence, hence he "died".

And this is not a bad thing unless we let it be. This, to me, is what internationalism, intersubjectivity, and solidarity are all about: recognizing there is no true, objective, universal perspective, but that we have to come together in a dialogue, a dialectic of different, subjective perspectives to find as much peace and understanding as possible.

Yeah but that's a pretty stupid idea to imply that Islam is uniquely anti-gay. I mean thanks to Christianity, half of Africa is vehemently anti-gay to the point where you can even get the death penalty for being gay. A lot of this kind of legislation was thanks to evangelicals from America lobbying in their governments. Christian Eastern Europe isn't particularly friendly to gay either. So no, the problem isn't Islam but rather the people using Islam to push their homophobic agenda. Its the same shit as some Christians in Europe and the states.

The rabbi jokes really makes sense if youve come from a low income background and gone into academia. Arriving at a prestigious school on an academic scholarship it really hits home that you're an outsider, especially considering that everyone else is there because their parents can afford the six figure tuition fees. I always particular enjoyed hearing the working class be discussed at parties and social events. Like with all due respect, I could take you to my hometown, to the shittiest bar in the area, and show you just how wrong you actually are. Consider the following, Donald Trump swept union territories (i.e. Pennsylvania) because while he was promising them a future, the democratic party was more concerned with transgenderism, immigration and environmentalism. Maybe these issues are important, maybe they aren't, frankly I don care, nor have a solid opinion on the matter. But the average blue collar Joe simply doesn't concern himself with such matters (at least o in any meaningful way), rather he concerns himself with his work and income. There's a significant drift in what the party elites of the modern left believe, and what their voting constituents believe. I'm not hugely into politics, I mostly use this as a pleasant background noise whilst I conduct my research, but I feel I had to share what I had found, comming from such a unique perspective.

the same is happening in Malaysia, but a little different where the right supporters which usually comes from rural areas do not concern their leaders involved in corruption like pandora papers as long their future is guaranteed, even though it involves racism. For context, in Malaysia's constitution, there is a specific term used which directly translates to human rights exists as long as "the special status of Malays and bumiputeras( a race of indigenous but ironically it does not include all indigenous people and cultures) is preserved, on paper, it is a racist and discriminating law or idk what to call it. So with this so-called thing, we called "ketuanan Melayu" which directly translates to Malay supremacy. So their kids will have education, special privileges like a uni only accepting Malays, a hedge fund only for Malays, a school that only accept Malays and so on and so forth. As a Malay myself I understand this perspective and experience it first hand. where the left concerns are political correctness. Where they fight for equality, human rights, women rights, anti-corruption things and all other politically correct issues. A concept that is generally very insignificant towards the people in rural areas. This comes to a really weird situation where the highly privileged people trying to politically correct people in rural areas what they should do what should concern them, that idea is alien from them.

I think we have a tendency to break down larger problems into smaller frameworks that we can easily assign solutions or fix. Classism and the consumerism that molds us into rigid predictable paths is often ignored by over exaggerated problems or caricatures of issues in society. There are people who are ostracized excessively for having certain conditions or identifying in one group or another. However it seems those that are hurting the most are rarely given attention. The solutions provided offer surface level acceptance usually that doesn't normalize whatever group they are seeking to help.

This is perfect and exactly what I've been trying to do online. There are so many people who fell into the idea of Qanon. Those are the exact people we should reach out to and try to talk to. They are a very large base of people expressing that they are suffering under the establishment, and showing them that the "Deep State" they fear is just capitalism would be a great way getting a lot of people on board with our messaging. The problem I have with identity politics is while it is true we need to push for equality, we cant just ignore the issues of those who's social conditioning has lead them into a trap. We feed the narrative of conservatives when we attack all white people, because some people just don't understand what we are talking about. I also really like Zizek's take on the idea that all of the evil can be because of one group bc it also feeds into the same white supremist narrative of attributing some quality only to white people, and while we talk about all of this "whos to blame" shit we still arnt addressing the material concerns of the people who need help.

Exactly. Based and nuanced and actually focused on problem solving. In America (I'm assuming from what you said that we're both Americans here) politics has really shifted much more to "fixing" cultural and social issues rather than material/political/economic ones and this has made us a bunch of petty, squabbling birds fighting over crumbs of ideology instead of real projects. Most of us feel the real projects, the concrete, tangible stuff, is out of our hands now, and in many ways this is true, since we are in many ways living under a kind of oligarchy where state and corporate power have been merged. At least that's my understanding. We need to address the root problems again and stop focusing on "holding whites accountable" like the progressives say or "holding J*ws accountable" (censored so that hopefully my comment won't disappear) like the traditionalist right say.

I think the challenging part tho is it seems that a large chunk of these people we need to change the minds of, will not listen. Then consider that really we need to convince those that vote far-right, and those people are likely even more entrenched. I agree with all this, and have felt this was for a while, but I think that this can only be a piece of the solution. We also need some cunning alongside.

The universality refers to the Marxist proposition that liberation of the individual will only be achieved if everyone has the same access to rights/means. So instead of viewing yourself as an elitist self penalizing group (which actually maintains a power structure of who is the most ethically correct), you could work into how you could incorporate yourself and people from those unprivileged groups into the universality of equal rights and responsibilities.

In my experience identity obsessed liberals also support every US/NATO “humanitarian” war and the efforts of the US and Europe to force liberal capitalism and social liberalism down the throat of every country in the world (or as in the case of, say, Saudi Arabia, they don’t care about repression because the west gets what they want from those countries). Compare to a place like Syria which is constantly punished for not allowing western capitalists to plunder it economically. Western foreign policy is very much based on cultural and/or economic supremacy and, ironically, upper middle class identity liberals obsessed with “white supremacy” largely support it. A question I often ask is why does the west (Greater Europe) think it has a right to dominate the entire world and dictate norms to other countries at gun point or with deadly economic “sanctions”? Should not countries be allowed to develop as they see fit, at their own pace without liberal capitalist imperialists breathing down their necks? Take North Africa and the Middle East (Western Asia) where the UK, France and the USA have been meddling in a major way for well over a hundred years by supporting despots, starting wars, fomenting coups etc. How can these countries ever work out their problems and progress socially and politically with the US and its European vassals wreaking deadly havoc throughout the region? Zizek and many on the left overlook present day imperialism completely.
