One has to separate Zizek the philosopher,

Zizek the pop culture philosopher.

Well, what’s the difference? I know his foreign policy and his role as “jester of capitalism” is quite marde, as Gab Rockhill pointed out…

Critical support to Sri Lanka in living up to its name, despite its brainworms!

Seems like old news

“Strategic Provocation and October 7th attacks”

Popular narrative development (lead-up to attack)

Impossible demands (lead-up to attack)

Military/political “noise” (lead-up to attack)

Narrative escalation (lead-up to attack)

Intentional personnel sacrifice (during attack)

Cross-border lures (during/just before attack)

Atrocity allegation (during/immediately after attack)

Rapid condemnation (immediately after attack)

Pre-positioned response force (during/immediately after attack)

Rapid post-condemnation violence (immediately after attack)

critical support to TSMC for filibustering Amerikkkan plans to dekkkouple and the Amerikkkan labor unions for standing for their own individual rights against ROC work culture (if it were about importing Mainland BYD cars, I’d call them chauvinist)

They can both ratfuck Amerikkka’s ass

Continuing on this

Western efforts to propagate each ideas produce instead a reaction against “human rights imperialism” and a reaffirmation of indigenous values,

Justifiably… as said from above

as can be seen in the support for religious fundamentalism by the younger generation in non-Western cultures.

I call bullshit… Southeast Asia, East Asia, and South-Asia aren’t really religiously-defined

Besides, in the Middle East and other Muslim countries, I’d argue religion, if its not an opium of the people, it is the proxy of a new economic mode of organization, or at least a political organization…

Similarly, at another stage of development a century earlier, Cromwell and the English people had borrowed from the Old Testament the speech, emotions, and illusions for their bourgeois revolution. When the real goal had been achieved and the bourgeois transformation of English society had been accomplished, Locke supplanted Habakkuk.

The very notion that there could be a “universal civilization” is a Western idea, directly at odds with the particularism of most Asian societies and their emphasis on what distinguishes one people from another.

And what does this universal civilization presuppose? A standard of who? China? India? Indonesia (This was written in the context of ‘End of History’, as Francis Fuk-his-ma said, so you can guess whose values to adopt)

Man, you have alotta western brainworms but I’ll tell ye this

The reason why, in a short answer

Western ideas of individualism, liberalism, constitutionalism, human rights, equality, liberty, the rule of law, democracy, free markets, the separation of church and state, often have little resonance in Islamic, Confucian, Japanese, Hindu, Buddhist or Orthodox cultures.

But why is it so? Maybe, perhaps they undermined the local and national hegemonies there, but at the same time, these ideas, if I must say, are more or less a pretense to introduce their own economic hegemony, in this case, western capitalist imperialism.

The superstructure of such ideas, law, culture, government and so forth, are often reflective of the economic base of the western imperialist hegemonies, and in turn, the superstructure justifies and influences back the economic base

I have never posted in that comm. (em POC)

Other than that, I agree…

I am a subordinate, but I shall take this request to the Lemmygrad.ml mods. It is currently pending whether they would respond / s

I agree with its 6 xpoints

1. The U.S. is entering a period of intensified class struggle.

2. Many people stayed home.

3. The election may have been lost at the grocery store and the gas station

4. People are tired of war.

5. Fascism wins by appealing to real demands, not only hatred and fear.

6. The movements will survive; the resistance starts now.

This must be yer slammer moment

Slava baloney!

but the point is that there would be a lot of scumbags in in his traps these days.

Netanyahoo would prolly smile at dead babies…

Bashar would have shocked by the IOF casually recording their war crimes on Tiktok

Yeah?

Funny, he’s got the same caik day, maybe even year as me…

Thanks tovarshi!

Now could Hexbear throw a shit-fit and defederate from us? That I could see happening easily. There are numerous drama loving types there and there was that one big thread accusing us baselessly of bigotry because someone got moderated and took it personally to the point of stirring up trouble and calling names as well as for defederation.

Was that about Lemmy.ml as well? Apparently, they saw Nutomic’s transphobic remarks, and saw personal issues on age-of-consent views held by a mod named Davel, and was rantin’ on and about that

As for calling names and stirring up trouble, yeah, they can be a handful

I mean just looking at the comically ridiculous struggle sessions hexbears start among themselves it’s almost amazing it hasn’t happened already.

That’s a Chapo thing, and I think it prolly did

People accuse MLs of being authoritarian (and so we are) and yet it’s not us but the left unity instance that is constantly having people appeal to the authorities in the hierarchy (ironic) to settle this or that little tiff or disagreement and to impose sweeping changes on others and communities and so on as a result of someone calling to the admins with a convincing sob sorry or whatever.

Yeah, you have to remember, these western leftists came from an exodus off r/chapotraphouse, a banned dirtbag leftist subreddit based around an edgy left-wing podcast, and brought their chaotic energy as well onto chapo.chat, now known as Hexbear.net.

I guess this appeal to authority is overcompensation for their historic chaotic brosocialist vibes…
