I can post wikipedia articles as well

Scholars focusing on genocides of Indigenous peoples criticize the view of the Holocaust as unique, arguing it diminishes the significance of Indigenous genocides, which are often seen as lesser or primitive and reinforce Eurocentrism. They believe this comparison undermines the moral standing of Indigenous survivors compared to Jewish survivors.

The word ‘holocaust’ typically refers to Nazi mass murder programs in WWII. Sanders is absolutely not a denier of that. The more general word you want here is ‘genocide’.

But on that, Sanders has been a VERY outspoken critic of the Isreali government’s genocide in Gaza and the absurd financial support the US provides for it.

He did however support the Afghanistan war and didnt vote against it and voted for interventions into Bosnia, which the US went on to use depleted uranium shells and kill a bunch of civillians with. The mans personally voted for 2 interventions that killed millions of innocent people and what, we’re supposed to become bernie bros because he happened to this time vote for the right side?

No thanks.

If you want a slimy and corrupt US politician to rage about, there’s no shortage to pick from, so it’s honestly weird that you’re throwing a fit over the one who is actually trying to help people.

Hes as shit as the rest of them.

Saying America has been defending democracy for 250 years is holocaust denial, yes; ignoring the part they played in genociding the native americans, the adventurism that killed 10+ million people between 1945-current day.

In no part of history has America ever defended democracy.

When the furthest left you get in America is this revisionist fucking toad engaging in holocaust denial you know you’ve fucked up.

Remember people, if you get conscripted by ‘The Kier’, mag dump the highest ranking military official as soon as they hand you a gun.

Exactly! This is why I believe that sports are able flourish so much better under a socialist society than under capitalism, where everything is profit driven and huge barriers to entry exist for a majority of people.

You get murmurs of this sometimes, open source games like SS13; Games made by ex-socialist countries by leftists; Pathologic, ice pick studios, disco eleysium ect.

I don’t think most computer games would be suitable for this. Sure, e-sports exist, but most people play games for fun, not for any kind of serious competition.

Their really isnt much difference between chess and e-sports tho’

The point is a state directed economy can choose to prioritize stuff that is relevant on a national stage in terms of culture, be it games, sports, music; but they can do it in a way where working class people can participate, rather than in the west where sports, games, culture, tends to be dominated by the rich or sons and daughters of the rich, as they have the free time and resources.

Foucault and Baudrillard are decent intros if you’re trying to understand 1950s-2010s post-modernism and the deviation of marxism that it took.

Further reading I would suggest Georges Battielle, Steven Lukes (He’s closer to being a marxist but focuses more on structuralism and power dynamics) and Judith Butler.

The USSR also supported chess players and gave them full time salaries, chess universities and the ability to pursue it as a full time career, same with fitness sports like the olympics.

Fun fact!

The people who came up with that bullshit think gay people or women cannot goto heaven!

Li Hongzhi taught that homosexuality makes one “unworthy of being human”, creates bad karma, and is comparable to organized crime.[91][92][93]: 285  He also taught that “disgusting homosexuality shows the dirty abnormal psychology of the gay who has lost his ability of reasoning”,[94][92] and that homosexuality is a “filthy, deviant state of mind”.[93]: 283 [32] Li additionally stated in a 1998 speech in Switzerland that the gods’ “first target of annihilation would be homosexuals”.[92][95][96] Although gay, lesbian, and bisexual people may practice Falun Gong, founder Li stated that they must “give up the bad conduct” of all same-sex sexual activity.[94][97][98]

This is who the AI bot you just scraped that bullshit from is sourcing [email protected] and why you should do this thing called ‘read a book’

Go ahead, go to Tibet and tell them they should return to being slaves again.

Even better, go to southern states in the US and say ‘Free The Confederacy!’ every time you see a black person, should be a riot.

Thanks, great post gave me some things to read.

Hong kong is quite literally the example of this, they forced them into speaking english and enacted an aperthied against those who where from the mainland into HK as they did with South Africa.

Disagree, my local takeaways still get there windows panned in monthly with racial slurs put all over them referencing asian tropes + even bringing up china in a mildly positive way is enough for libs to try and socially ostracize you for not repeating their gestapo narratives on the Untermensch

I was giving you a recommendation for media that features the underclass lol
