@TallbarFIN Not quite. It’s the MO of reactionaries high on militarism.
You’d be correct to point out that it’s done in the name of Russian nationalist mythology, but the ethnicity itself is not that relevant.
The underlying thought process behind this is not in any way unique to Russia.
@TallbarFIN It’s not an excuse. This is indeed a brazen war crime.
However, I’m interested to know what you think this implies. What takeaway do you want people to have from this?
@CharlieHowarth1@JamesHeartfield@matthewjswalker No, you’re just too dumb to get the point.
Something being common in one area does not imply it’s exclusive to that area or that it’s impossible to exist elsewhere.
@DemonFly666@trouble_man90 Better idea: import those ideas into America.
Nothing about China’ successes is exclusive to China. It just lack the type of brainrot that hurdles America.
@Wosen_Admasu@Alex_Oloyede2 It’s a meaningless buzzword used by people who don’t know how to analyze what is or isn’t moral and just default to deferring to normalcy.
Low IQ way of living.
@MK_Foxbat Having the means to solve this problem that bypass the will of human cattle is pretty goated.
They should take initiative so that it’s not just a thought experiment. (2/2)
@MK_Foxbat Not me. I think this is great.
Most people make dietary decisions out of habitual inertia. And most who do understand why meat consumption is bad lack the will to act in accordance to those beliefs.
Meat consumption is unethical and its production is unsustainable. (1/2)
@AdriftWind@The_Davos_Man “You haven’t won in the US either”.
I know.
This isn’t an indictment on leftists. It’s on Christian nationalists, confederate nostalgics, and the neoliberals who would feel lonely without those groups.
Propaganda works and simple people can be weaponized. I’m well aware.
@AdriftWind@The_Davos_Man What’s the issue with state capitalism?
State capitalism is still more functional than neoliberalism, for things can get done that bypass the profit motive.
Look China’s development over the last 20 years.
@AdriftWind@The_Davos_Man Most people are unfit shlubs. The majority of attempts to maintain a consistent gym schedule fails. So too do most diets go south.
This fact does not imply that being fat and lazy is good. Nor that it’s bad to be fit and healthy.
Same logic with leftism. (2/2)
@AdriftWind@The_Davos_Man Your entire claim. What you think all of this implies.
Nothing here implies a fundamental, inseparable, issue with leftist ideology. Only that it’s harder to implement than liberal capitalism. (1/2)
