What is your general attitude towards those

I pity them.

Do you get on well with any religious friends and neighbours?

Yes.

Have you ever thought of believing in a religion at some point?

I was quite religious in my youth.

If you do not like the faiths, why?

I believe that they limit human growth and enable the "evil" that they pretend to protest.

I remember the huge fad of atheism that struck a few years back and led to the psychological liberation of a huge number or subjugated people. It was an inevitable eventuality of the rise of internet usage. It seemed to be mainly impacting Americans, but mass outbreaks of enlightenment also struck other western nations such as Ireland (where I'm from), freeing people from a society dominated by patriarchal oppressive and highly abusive social regimes.

Of course there was then a backlash to the backlash and now forces of liberation are ridiculed on the western internet. Liberalism has held sway and the institutions of oppression still maintain power, particularly in the USA. This continues to enable massive human suffering, for example with America's latest genocide, enabled in part by apocalyptic Christian death cults.

I'm not very familiar with the details but I understand that the Christians are in cahoots with the Zionists in destroying some Muslim place of worship to bring about the end times. And there's some cows mentioned in a thousands of years old book that need to have the right colour coat and stuff.

But of course, as usual, they're not true ~~Scotsmen~~ religious people... etc...

tl;dr Religion is a net negative influence in the world. Trying to suppress it is counterproductive and will never work, meanwhile it's going to kill us all.

There's no child labour factories in China, this is just racism. The child labour is in the USA.

Nope. Ukraine has not had elections.

In fact, following America's Nazi coup, the Ukrainian Rada voted to reject the illegal ousting of Yanukovic. The US ignored this and put their puppet in power anyway.

There would never have been any invasion if it wasn't for genocidal USA's warmongering via NATO, the world's most aggressive and murderous military alliance.

Genocide is a far right thing if anything.

Just get a monarchy.

Could you simp any harder for America?

The Ukrainian people are out there fighting tooth and nail to make money for the American MIC, yet you're in your armchair acting like they should not have peace because western powers don't want them to.

They have no sovereign anything. The US took that from them when they overthrew their democracy in 2014.

So much chatter lately along these lines. Seems like the west is about to do the Toy Story meme and drop the puppet.

"...give the people you've been ethnically cleansing their land and allow them their rightful self determination and stop pretending you have any legitimate claim over them as a fascist puppet state...".

So you recognise that the system is the problem. You even think there's a gun to your head forcing you to participate. You don't need to take part in it. Taking part of choosing complicity.

 

I was especially taken by Ho Chi Minh's quote from On revolutionary morality and thought it would be great to have a comm for discussion on each of these. It's not something I'd like to run but is anyone else interested?

 

One theory I've heard about the accelerating of the worsening conditions of western proletariat is that the USSR used to provide a bulwark against things getting too bad. People would point at the USSR and the illusion that capitalism was better for individual prosperity would collapse in comparison. Then, with the USSR gone things have been deteriorating for the past ~30 years.

If that is true, even somewhat, why haven't we seen a similar effect from China's example? Is the theory simply wrong? Maybe western capitalism is just unable to even offer scraps from the table at this point. Maybe people are unaware of how things are in China? Could we dare to expect that China's example will force a lifting of the boot from our necks?

 

"Only China is an arguable peer of the United States, only China’s technological and industrial might can hope to match our own, and only China has the capacity to project power globally as well as regionally."

"China offers a somewhat coherent ideological alternative to the liberal-democratic order."

"China’s one-party meritocracy can advertise itself (...) as a successor to democratic capitalism, an alternative model for the developing world."

"The establishment of Chinese military pre-eminence in East Asia would be a unique geopolitical shock, with dire effects on the viability of America’s alliance systems (...) and on our ability to maintain the global trading system that undergirds our prosperity at home."

 

I wasn't sure where to post this, world news it isn't, so here seems to be a good catch-all comm.

It's a collection of speculations and theories surrounding the war in Palestine and its possible origins.

 

I actually paid for a course but there's no simple way to get it working on a TV without just having it on a USB drive. I tried the pirate bay but it the course is 5 years old on it.

A main question for Ukraine since it became an independent state was who or what could potentially guarantee its security.
