11.02.2026 00:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Even if there were such a thing as some universal "human nature", now in particular is the worst conceivable moment in history to try and determine it.
10.02.2026 20:09 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born. Now its the time of monsters. We are living through an exceptional point in human history perhaps the most exceptional point so far, and it will determine whether we continue to exist as a species or not. It's the furthest thing from normal
10.02.2026 20:08 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I can't say anything as to your personal situation; I can only warn you away from universalizing yourself into despair based on it
10.02.2026 20:06 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Because the USSR was the world's first post-capitalist state formation; it was imperfect, ultimately fatally so, but it was still the first.
10.02.2026 20:05 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Just as the USSR remains an important template for anyone seeking to overthrow capitalist and imperialist oppression even now despite its collapse and the dissipation of its influence
10.02.2026 20:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The US didn't become the main character until it became a global superpower after WWII, but it was still an important template for anyone seeking to transcend the limitations of pre-capitalist social formations (actually, even including Marxists) prior to that, for reasons I have stated elsewhere
10.02.2026 20:02 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Unlike orcs, of course, there's nothing irredeemable about us; we just have to stop being white. But that can only be accomplished at the structural level by dismantling the entire machine of imperialism which is codependent upon whiteness.
10.02.2026 20:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0White people are Tolkien's orcs, more or less, twisted mockeries of humanity turned into living weapons of domination and conquest over centuries of torture and breeding
10.02.2026 19:59 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0White people are uncharacteristically cruel, hateful, violent, and oppressive by global historical standards, because they have been intentionally cultivated that way culturally and ideologically for centuries by their capitalist leaders
10.02.2026 19:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0White people, including Europeans, do not represent humanity

10.02.2026 19:55 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Naturally fascism, which is the final defense mechanism of capitalism when threatened by socialist uprising, copies heavily from the ideals of the US the world's first purely capitalist nation
10.02.2026 19:55 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0None of this is an accident; the US was the world's first republic ever established by and for the bourgeoisie alone, for the purpose of enabling unrestricted profit seeking, free of religious and aristocratic oversight
10.02.2026 19:54 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Similarly, Nazism is a condensed and refined version of US white supremacy and expansionism
10.02.2026 19:52 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0It began in Italy as a condensed and refined imitation of American industrialism and manifest destiny ideology
10.02.2026 19:52 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The US is not unique, because it is the source and controlling interest of the great majority of the world's oppression. The US is not fighting against the far right anywhere except in a very few cases by accident where clashing economic interests force it to.
10.02.2026 19:51 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Or at least from the time the Spanish, French, and Russian colonial empires lost to the British in global influence
10.02.2026 19:50 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0No, the Anglosphere leads the world in fascism and always has from the start.
10.02.2026 19:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0And? Why do you think that reflects anything widespread about human nature? Politics in capitalist countries operates under the complete and total control of numerically tiny minorities of people
10.02.2026 19:48 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0something as nebulous as human nature and with no real evidence condemn billions of people you've never met and will never meet.
10.02.2026 19:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Your cynicism and your idealism are precisely inverted from where they should be; you naively take the social systems that create the structures of power you live under at face value as if they operated objectively in exactly the way those in control of them claim, but you are cynical about
10.02.2026 19:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0US elections are essentially determined from the moment the parties decide on their candidates. The rest are determined by a tiny number of swing voters in areas where wealth and power are concentrated
10.02.2026 19:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I'm sorry, but you're wrong on both counts. Most people don't vote far right; most people don't even vote at all, and of those who do the vast majority don't have those votes count for anything meaningful
10.02.2026 19:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The US is one of the most violent, tyrannical, and controlling states in human history, in fact, and even now it leads the world in that regard. Treating it as the default will heavily throw off your perception of everything else
10.02.2026 19:42 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0That's just not true; I'm sorry but you have a distorted view not only of history but even of the world right now
10.02.2026 19:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0You don't think US elections are actually democratic, do you?
10.02.2026 19:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Why do you think election results have anything to do with "most" people?
10.02.2026 19:34 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Yeah, that does change things lol
