  • I read a dictionary entry and maybe skimmed a Wikipedia article and thus am an expert and qualified to discuss things I’m wholly ignorant of.

    I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK

    Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

    It won' t do!
    It won't do!
    You must investigate!
    You must not talk nonsense!

    Please. I’m begging you. Go to your local community/junior college, find a class in Philosophy and enroll in it. Take a class in political science. Engage in these subjects deeper than surface level. Actually try to internalize and understand these subjects. It will improve your life in many ways.

  • It’s objectification. You are reducing another human being into an object whose only characteristic is whether or not you’d fuck them.

    Commenting on someone’s fashion choices, how they’ve styled their hair, how they’ve chosen to present themselves, etc is normally not objectifying, as those are choices that person made. Saying, “that person is pretty/handsome/beautiful” is closer to objectifying but is more dependent on the rest of the context. But saying “I’d fuck her” is objectification.

    This isn’t Puritanism, it’s about seeing other human beings as human beings and not a hole to fuck.

  • Ah yes, thousands of years of the best and brightest minds trying to figure out what human nature really is and you’ve figured it out! Congratulations! What journal did you publish your findings in? What did you base your conclusions on, vibes?

  • Personally, I would choose to focus on things I ostensibly have some amount of control over. As an American, I have no effect whatsoever on Chinese laws or policy. However, I allegedly have power over my own country’s laws and policies, so I choose to expend my energy trying to end slave labor in America, which is legal if the person has been convicted of a crime.

    Why would I spend the precious little free time and energy I have (between making enough money to pay rent and eat food) on something out of my control?

  • The US no longer has the factories, shipyards, or airplane manufacturing facilities it had before WWII. Everything has been outsourced and hollowed out. The shipyards are luxury condos now. There are no typewriter factories to churn out tommy guns. There really isn’t a productive economy to convert to wartime use.

    Neoliberalism has created an economy that cannot serve the public interest or good. I kind of hope they try and fall flat on their faces.
