@spaceangelvoice you believing in iq is just another evidence of your racism

[float over trees @floatovertrees]

@spaceangelvoice i hate when people use marx(ism) as a shield for their racism. but you don't even pretend to care about wages like other racists.
"people groups and cultures" - just say you don't like seeing people who look a little bit different and hearing them speak foreign languages near you

"destroy all people groups and cultures in service of global capital"

please don't make me like global capital

[Cait @spaceangelvoice]

if marx were alive today, he would absolutely be smart enough to see that mass immigration is not only a tool of class warfare, but of the elite to fuel hegemonic power clusters and destroy all people groups and cultures in service of global capital but the left won't go there

"irish canadian/american" is complaining about immigration. zero self-reflection.

i don't really care about how communists should treat religion. if it can be used, use it. if you need religious allies, fine. whatever. however, i don't tolerate relativism when we talk about truth, not just political strategies. god simply does not exist. religions are untrue.

[float over trees @floatovertrees]

@disrupthehuman the question is not if something originated from religion. the question is, is a certain worldview correct? we can take any belief system and examine it. false claims must give way to superior true claims. the important thing is that we have to allow questioning and substitution.

My take on the Booker Prize is that that it should be given out monthly to random people who write things and live in poverty until the endowment is gone.

tired of people pretending this is better than the original just because she’s a better person. we need to stop endlessly moralising our taste in things

"Jonny Greenwood quietly returned to Israel for a sold-out Jerusalem concert."
"the event was a triumph simply due to the fact that Greenwood came to Israel as the most high-profile artist to arrive here since October 7, 2023."

he will then act puzzled when accused of artwashing

@Hezbolsonaro not necessarily artsy. certain "apolitical" film lovers were hysterical when they were told not to pay for scream 7. not even not to watch, just not to give money to zionists who fired melissa barrera.

@The_Acumen no, there is a simpler (but arguably even more disturbing) explanation: content that you see AND your thoughts both are created by the same social media algorithms. you saw something on your tl, and that event influenced/induced both your future tl here and your thoughts about it

it's actually pretty normal for a person who speaks for a living. i mean, listen to professors. they say all kinds of things during lectures. sometimes certain idioms get "botched" so consistently they turn into catchphrases

Remember when Pope Francis said "i hope hell is empty" and some christians actually got mad at that? As though the idea of God being so merciful is a bad thing?

[Cruz Marquis @CruzMarquis5]

Economics is ~value free~ science, a point that has been agreed on since the days of Max Weber. Economics knows no political masters, and when one attempts to impose a master on it, it stops being science and devolves into cheap activism.
