I understand your point and frustration but the impasse we are at here I believe is that the avg hexbear user would claim liberal democracy will ALWAYS trend in this direction. The system is what it does. Sure, I think it’s good to elect strong socialist-adjacent progressives in your local areas to improve the life of working class people, but (someone correct me I’m mistaken) the philosophical position here is that the end result of the system is always fascism and capitalist dictatorship. It will always trend to this conclusion.

This is again similar to what the system claims vs. what the system produces/actually functions. We do have elections, but we also have like 66% voter turnout and we also have studies indicating massively popular policies never get passed (e.g. universal healthcare, tax billionaires, etc). Free press is debatable. All US mainstream news outlets are owned by the billionaire class, hardly any of them speak pro Palestine positions. Manufacturing Consent does a good job explaining how the US supposedly free press functions to ultimately peddle state department talking points and status quoisms.

Not to misuse a term but it essentially feels like continued masking, it takes mental effort and is absolutely not relaxing.
Honest noob science question: is gravity as defined with Einstein’s space-time time definition mean it ceases to be an actual “force” …? Like, two masses affecting each other through gravity is not like two magnets but rather space-time “bending”?

1·1 年前For a USian liberal, voting for Harris is like receiving absolution from your sins, like going to a confessional on Sunday then continuing to sin on Monday. You cannot remove this absolution from them or they will be forced to confront their unearned privilege of existing in an evil neocolonial empire.

6·2 年前You might be surprised how many “intelligent” people can also be sincerely racist.
Also, I believe at least one reason people are upset with you here in this thread is because of how hard you are trying to “prove” the innocence of someone being racist, or “prove” the unreality of a system or institution being “truly/authentically” racist, when ultimately the end result is the same: pure racist outcomes. Even if somehow you could prove with full receipts that racism, as you claim, is used as a inauthentic tool for oppression, the energy you are taking up to hound this point is painfully disproportionate and misplaced, if even technically correct at all.
