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

    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).
