I’m talking about deeply held beliefs you have that many might disagree with here or deem to be incompatible with Marxist ideology. I’m interested because I doubt everyone here is an ideological robot who all share the same uniformity in belief

    That the average American’s brain is so perfectly engineered through centuries of capitalist conditioning and selective breeding as to make socialism impossible for the mean white person in the US.

    They’d rather bathe in blood than live a normal, happy life. They legitimately seem inhuman.

      Yeah, Americans are very conditioned by the capitalist propaganda being fed to them since forever but “selective breeding”? What do you mean by that?

        That through artificial selective pressures such as starvation, extreme poverty, suicide and prison, the US Bourgeois have managed to breed a subservient people through unintentional eugenics.

          Can you explain the eugenics aspect, I don’t wanna come off as dismissive or anything, I wanna hear you out, but race-mixing isn’t really looked down upon in the US

            I mean, I was born in 96. My mom is white, and her parents were deeply uncomfortable for several years after I was born. I’d argue that in large parts of the country, race-mixing is still a touchy subject in the 40-and-up crowd.

            I’m not sure what’s unclear or needs elaborating insofar as the eugenics aspect. The Amweican Bourgeois punish dissidents to the point of being unable to raise children, or to suicide. Repeat this over several generations, while constantly redefining what ‘mentally stable’ is to center the least Dissident, most violent members of society, and you’ve essentially bred a population of sociopathic ant-men.

            Edit_1: If you have a better explanation I’m all ears, but I’m not aware of any large population of human beings that, if given the choice, would rather murder minorities both sexual and ethnic, as opposed to eat. They just don’t seem human.

              what’s happening right now is a good example… black kids being shot for getting the wrong address and ringing the doorbell. black kids forced to make ends meet, such as walking long distances or finding income and frequently subjected to violence. this isn’t happening to white kids, especially those of the ruling class, a class distinguished through whiteness. these children who are successfully being raised in secure, gated christo-fascist neighborhoods, have parents or escorts with them all the time. politicians are totally apathetic to violence on children because they know their (white) children will never face dangers like school shootings, having bourgeois privileges and security. billboards everywhere for new elite housing developments featuring white blonde haired families while people die on the streets… white supremacy has never diminished despite the reformist gains that attempt to reduce it.

                I wouldn’t say that white kids aren’t threatened by mass shootings because they are most often the perpetrators and school shootings often happen at schools where the kid went previously (or are going).

      As a cracker born, raised, and living among the crackers I can confirm with first hand experience. I’m starting to think the lemmygrad user who had the idea of trapping all whites in Europe and surrounding the borders with auto turrets might be on to something.

      This feels too biologically reductionist to me. More like they perfected the social engineering necessary for their empire to operate

        Call me a dumb lib, but I agree with Chomsky when he was debating the post-modernists.

        There are natural bounds to how you can manipulate human behavior; you can’t reshape the fundamental human psych more than you can the eye, you just have to work with what you’re given.

        Americans don’t act like humans. They don’t love their children; they’re an extension of the parent’s narcissistic ego. They don’t even crave comfort or food; they’d rather see other people actively suffer than improve their lives. I’ve NEVER heard of any other population so in love with death and sadistic violence. It’s I’m every part of their culture, and it seems distinct from the basic functionality of mirror neurons in, what I’d call, normal humans.

          This is ridiculous and easily disproven by just seeing recent immigrants acting the same way. Human beings are 100% naturally capable of behaving the way Americans do, it’s the system we live in that systematically engineers this behavior that is the problem.

            Tell you what, if I ever see America not act like a hive of subhuman serial killers I’ll concede the point, k?

            If the country can go two weeks straight without celebrating dead minorities over my lifetime, I won’t think your all natural poor baby eaters.

            It’s a very high bar for Americans, though. They love to bathe in corpses.

              Look, I am not against wiping America off the face of the earth if necessary to preserve the rest of the world. It will take untold centuries of cultural revolution to undo the rot of settler society. But frankly, I don’t see how the idea that Americans act the way they do because of genetics and selective breeding is compatible with the Marxist worldview.

        Gotta agree, it’s crazy how much social factors influence us that there doesn’t need to be any genetic differences to make much of the American population messed up.
