What is racism other than declaring one’s superiority over others? Its just a sub form of classism’s.
Racism at a fundamental level is indisingishable from nationalism, or Religiocentrism.
Classism is the basic concept that one person deserves more than another. Its anti-equality. It has many subforms.
Racism is insufficient to describe the motivations of Zionism. Take the racism away and it still won’t address most of the problems of religiocentrism and nationalism in that state.
What drives ultranationalism and supremacist ideology if not class?
I agree with you. I find it to be a forest for the trees argument with many sympathetic to the Palastinians cause. They fail so see the driving factors behind the zionist project is class exploitation.
Instead they get drawn into the narratives of the elites on the other side who seek to exploit them through continuation of the project.
Like supporting a Mullah, because you are against the Rabbi, when the true enemy is the elites using religion…
Consider that Settler-colonialism cannot exist without class conflict. Class exploitation is the motivating driver behind genocides, slavery and apartheid.
Its core to the us vs them narrative and used as justification for imperialism.
Its also a case of polling Germans under the Nazis government vs what their true thoughts are.
The reality is that German support for the Nazis policies rarely went over the 35-40% level. The majority were just forced to go along with it.
Still, just like with the Germans, it will be a hell of a job rabilitating that society.
What I meant is they went through the rough years of 2000s Linux when hardware support was really problematic and the office suite options were far really behind.
Server side was pretty good by then though.
The fact that they made 2004 Linux work untill 2017 was impressive.
Linux and OSS in 2026 is night and day compared to back then.
Birth of the surveillance state!
Everyone is not equally bad, I have not stated that. Liberals are why we are in the current mess. They are naive and overly tolerant of the evils of the world. They make the right sounds, but their actions are insufficient.
Agree, we can all do more and we should. Let’s just make sure we target the right things. Make sure we are archers and not just other people’s arrows.
You sound like a Israeli propagandist talking about Palestine.
The UN has recognized both as genocides as the evidence is sufficient.
Its important to understand what motivates that level of barbarity. Its not the nation or its people, its capitalist greed through Oligarchy. For all its image of freedoms, it has always been freedom of the powerfull to exploit the weak.
Its the age old story of empires. They are all built on exploitation. US empire, Soviet Empire, British Empire, Chinese Empire, Caliphates, Roman, Greek, Ottomans, Israeli. The moment a small group of greedy individuals gain sufficient power over the masses in a society, they employ it to exploit people.
If we want a better world, we need to stop giving small groups of people executive power. Party politics, organized religion, monarchy’s, corporations, they all need to go.
Tell that to the Uyngers and Tibitans.
It looks different from the Palestinian genocide, in that rather than straight bombing and stealing land, China focuses more on mass interment and re-education, forced sterilization and forced labour.
Just like the US and Israel, China is being ruled by capitalist Oligarchs that will commit genocide to gain and control resources.
Better to be part of Cuba.
Agree on the first nations
Like Huawei and China are any better than the US companies.
Right now there are almost no options not linked to some major political movement or crime against humanity.
So it would be best to choose the option that gives you the most freedom to avoid government and corporate overreach after purchase. Where it is developed or manufactured is less important compared to that.
The luddites chose the wrong target. It was not the machines that were the problem. It was the Capital.
