I have ze german version for you: germany both has insane control on the media (as is evident by gaza reports) and completely blocked all russian media because of dIsInFoRmAtIoN. You need a non totalitarian dns if you want to read rt for example.
I think you’re making good points. I do feel like there is a need to highlight the superstructure at play there.
The patriarchy thing is the same thing as in any other artificial bipolar warscene.
As socialism just brillant but banally puts: men and women are equal. That is how you destroy the superstructure.
In capitalist totalitarianism (the empire), men get their domains of total domination and women “get theirs as well if they fight hard enough for it” (not really and i’m not defending it). This is how it works with states as well. Instead of having people decide their fate, they get small areas of “control” instead of just equality with others.
Its the same as antisemitism (and racism in general). Hating jews is not warranted just because you have had bad experiences, although it is understandable on an individual level.
Now transpose this to a group that is 50% of earths inhabitants. The problem isnt (imo) the unbreakable patriarchy but class warfare utilizing infinite bipolar wars.
Its always pit one against the other.
And discriminating someone for their bodily features is discrimination. “All men” is discrimination, no matter the size or the dominance of the group. Its not all whites, all jews, not even all israelis (although its cruelly many). Its just another method of keeping people from advancing away from class dominance.
Oh, but it is all billionaires, btw. Every, single, one.
Can this be false info or necessary for survival? A marxist leninist country should absolutely not appease a fascist, ever.
Wellll… Thats gonna be a long one.
Germany has quite a long history of bad decisions and being one of the core profiteurs of western imperialism, it is a bonafide imperial vassal state.
Due to this and the history of the third reich, german media is 90% propaganda with a couple true stories and a lot of nothing burger “criticism” of the western core values to appear “non authoritarian”.
Being a liberal extremist state, german values put “freedumb” above all else, especially public health and housing.
Because of all these things, the media mix consists of:
What this does is create a toxic sub reality. A left that developes in there is very different from what we on this server see as “left”.
Most people are either socialized into a right wing mindset (workers) or a left lib mindset (white collar, privileged students).
Both are actually right wingers as they still oppress minorities. Either they oppress “stupid people” or put all men into one basket, etc.
Its like blue haired screaming activists hating on “the orc” or push against the bds movement (which germans in 'leftist" circles associate with nazis) etc.
They hate china and dprk with a vengeance and will personally attack you if you so much as keep quiet while they push casual racism.
I left a group after they publicly crucified a guy who pushed the group for years. I asked for evidence for his alleged misdeeds and was called a mysoginist agent.
Thats the state of the german left.
I saw this video and read his text about the booner truth narrative.
I think the video is deceivingly positive but this guy seems to me like either a fascist or a right deviationist of sorts.
The problem with this is the pattern. The alt right in germany is also strictly going the anti imperialist route and since the left is simping the usa, the alt right gets huge influx.
If you confront leftists about it, they are totally brainwashed by western media.
And I think that is the problem. The right being a pro capital movement in its core, they are trying to play all sides to come out on top.
We need a better communist pipeline. This is not going to work imo. Same with the “maga communists”. They are what happens when there is no stringent leftist movement and the only " left" is pro imperialist soc dems.
Oh! Now I see it. Thanks for clarifying. :)
I’m not following. I dont think dehumanization is a good idea at all. Did I miss something?
They’re preparibg for war with china so they will likely start dehumanizing campaigns against them.
Western media is equally pathetic and disgusting. Using animals as a way to post anti china propaganda is off the charts stupid.
I really loved the movie as a kid. I dont think its an easy watch today. The music was great.
As a german, i fully agree.
I hope they succeed and our fucking chancellor gets arrested. Fucking murderer.
Yes, thats what I meant.
Its an interesting yet troubling read. The sectarianism kind of reminds me of the way the owner class divides workers in the west. It feels like a similar mechanic.
Do you live in syria or have family there?
I’m highly interested to learn more about syria. The geopolitical situation globally is hard keep track of imho, even if only vaguely.
From somewhere I read that syria used to be less oppressive but i’m not sure about that. Can you share some insights? Why is shit hitting the fan?
Especially the conclusion is great. I enjoyed reading that.
I would like to add, from a german but still very similar perspective, that we call these people “klassenflüchtling” or class refugees. Those who may have been born into the working class and were forced to sell their labour first but through (white and/or male, etc) privilege were able to get out of the system, mostly.
Ha happened to have this arc and therefore have insight knowledge.
I happened to be reactionary too since I had no meaningful education and did work for 80 hours a week to get out of that shit.
But i turned when I learned how deep that system goes and how cruel it really is.
Back to the population: its the same people here that go reactionary BUT the “lumpenproletariat” has highly propagandized anti islamic, anti immigrant, anti science perspective (thats also a world i have live in and what I was taught by my immigrant parents too btw.)
I would therefore surmise that the “classes” (which i dont believe in, they are meant to divide the working class) are differently radicalized. The lumpenproletariat is being fed the most blatant, science denying lies by axel springer billionaire media. The “normal” working class is being taught to be “lifestyle unradicalized leftists” and the class refugees are being fed the “they’re taking your life’s work away” narrative.
The “petite bourgeoise” would be people that technically dont need to sell their work but either want to or are being made to believe they have to since what they have can be taken away tomorrow (which is correct but by others than they think).
It is also the same here that most if not all parties (we have the infamous multi party system) have stepped to the right and there is barely any leftist thought inside the parliament anymore.
In case a plan is to be mentioned: to counter this large scale project we would need to take out the media. They alone are the tool to radicalize most of the people. “Ahmed bad” runs on german TV, radio, youtube, etc 24/7 and is rarely interrupted by “kill nazis” (which the alt right afd is pretty aptly called by the leftists) which is again pitting the working class into a culture war to prevent them inciting a class war (e.g. civil war) against the capitalists.
I have around 8 tb of space i can use to download stuff but we need to come up with a strategy how to pack and redistribute it imho. I’m on the matrix server if you want to dm me. Would like to help.
Whats the problem with space? Do you need patterns for the addresses? I’m possibly in a situation to help. Let me know what you have tried so far. I also am on the matrix server if you want to dm me.
Its hard to listen to honest summaries and the pain and suffering the dying western hegemony causes. But its also painful to think about the excuses I would hear from every westerner I would show this to, including crocodile tears about how one cant criticize a response when people died while they do the same with other countries all the time. Its disheartening.
Yes, of course it needs to be dismantled specifically. I’m basically arguing against “equal exploitation” under capitalism. I think that capitalism actually supports culture war as long as it is pure and devoid of class war. Most culture warriors i have met are not class concious and are easy agents for the bourgeoisie which I’m trying to point at.
