They are not fond of my physical attributes and make many assumptions about what that means for my mental abilities, and have not been shy throughout my existence of letting me know that. Even the more “liberal” ones.

This is somewhat internally consistent to the liberal who is fine with westoid governments doing all sorts of heinous shit to their citizens, as well as “non-white” immigrants, as long as it doesn’t affect other white westoid countries.

He has a follow up in there

Boy’s club” is just as bad as “girl’s club”, since those are both mindsets and spaces born out of binary gender system values. Neither is to be aspired for, but one of them gets more flak for arbitrary reasons.

Didn’t realize the existence of patriarchy was arbitrary. Nice to know we can just opt out at any time.

Those hexbears really take it too far, wasn't it Marx who said

We have no issue with imperialism and we ask no issue with imperialism from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make late rent payments.

I’m not sure how much I’m willing to concede on this. I’ll leave this convo after one laser push back on what I am perceiving as unnecessary pedantry.

What do people think of when someone says IQ? Do they think of some French scholastic aptitude test, or do they picture the “ unchangeable and genetic” as you said.

From your answer to that question I suppose you’ll either agree with my original statement that IQ as it is understood in common parlance is bunk and race science, or you will think I a weirdly picking on an aptitude test.

Eh, I would amend my original comment to say “our modern concept of IQ”. But even then, that feels overly pedantic. The fact that there existed some school assessment test that may have bore a similar name or structure to the modern concept of IQ seems a bit like saying “actually Nazis were socialist, it’s in the name”. The modern concept of IQ was made up by “race scientists.

Throwing in a shout-out to the fact that IQ is made up and was only created to support “race science”.

Not sure if it’s funnier picturing someone being terrified of animatronics while lifting, or imagining themselves as a killer animatronic while lifting.

Good rant. I hope that sense of good faith community is able to come back and that the hexbear federation bolsters the amount of good faith commenting.

But also, you can’t recite Das Kapital backwards in Hausi? smh my head.

The proletariat can always use force to reappropriate the wealth that is stolen from us.

got it, severe case of liberalism. hope it isn't terminal. not sure how/why you signed up for lemmygrad but stick around maybe you'll learn some things.

Not sure what you're on about. The comment is clearly at liberals in this thread trying to appeal to "benefits" for the "working class" without acknowledging many of these "benefits" come at the cost of the exploited global south. Thinking that the working class struggle starts and ends at one nation's borders and is not part of an international struggle is braindead at best, fascist at worst. Not sure why I'm explaining this to someone named @MarxMadness.
