Education, historically at least, has been one of the largest factors facilitating the spread of feminism. The removal of the threat physical violence doesn't hurt either.
I think you, and Melinda Gates, overestimate how easy it'll be to install feminism in a continent where education is failing, the quality of law enforcement is abysmal and only getting worse, while violence against women is increasing. Take it from someone who lived in Africa for over a decade. Sure, celebrities mouth off publicly, but when even parliamentary members beat the shit out of women on camera and don't even get demoted, it probably isn't the most immediate of concerns.
Because a tangible growth rate of 2.5% vs -0.26% isn't heading in that direction... Myopia isn't helpful, friend.
Ethnic Studies is a rigorous and vital scholarly discipline
concepts include hxstory and herstory, Latinx, ...
can be taught to kindergarteners
lol.
The State Security Agency has alleged that former members, loyal to Zuma, who where fired by the current administration are instigating the unrest. The military has been deployed to strategic locations for this reason. I wouldn't rule out political factionalism just yet.
Tell me you're a white nationalist without saying you're a white nationalist.
If wanting European ethnic groups and culture to remain dominant in Europe makes me a white nationalist, then sure.
It's not a race thing.
Entirely ignoring race, mass importing members of societies with fundamentally different cultures, religions, values and norms who fail to meet the criteria for legal immigration is a hard to justify premise. The go-to justification used, albeit demonstrably false, is that doing so offsets the sub-replacement population growth rate of Europe, forestalling the welfare crisis. This is why I take issue with your stance.
Nothing is better for a society than the productive, desirable groups forgoing population maintenance to compensate for the undesirable groups outbreeding them at an alarming rate.
Evidence wouldn't matter.
There is significant enough evidence to suggest that any number of peoples have a checkered past, which really, should be common sense. From Aztec and Bantu genocide and expansionism, to Barbary and Mongolian slave trade. Slavery has been documented as far back as 3500BC in Mesopotamia, with the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi also representing the earliest evidence of "institutional" slavery. A common theme in history is: If they could, they likely did.
The reason why White people suffer this vilification is because they allow it. We allow the massive role Jewish Europeans played in the trans-Atlantic slave trade to be ignored, as we do the their often above per-capita slave ownership. We ignore or absolve Africans of their role in that slave trade. We ignore Islamic slave trade, as we do Islamic genocide. We largely ignore contemporary slave trade, despite the numbers surpassing historical slave trade with ease. Instead, we assume responsibility for every unfortunate event, every failure of failed peoples. We accept the historical revisionism and the illogical arguments that weaponize them towards the destruction of culture.
The only meaningful questions left are how we arrived at a point where we so willingly accept such deprecation, and what can be done about it. Safe to say though, it wasn't organic.
A legitimately interesting read. Thanks for taking the time.
While I agree with your criticisms of liberalism by and large, I question your optimism in regards to Marxism. Overlooking economic and socio-political viability, how exactly is it exempt from the same subversion? From your responses, you seemingly limit your definition of Marxism largely to Marx's work, regarding neo/cultural Marxism as more radical liberalism. If this is the case, given the means by which "Marxism" is being proliferated and the views commonly held by self-identified Marxists, wouldn't the revolution actually be staged by a majority liberal component?
You heard them folks, buy more fireworks.
Given some of the shit people identify as, it's only fair that radical progressives get to self identify as moderates, libertarians and conservatives.
Nope. Only the northern most countries fall into that range. Sub-Saharan Africa is quite a bit lower. Take a look at this map, it's quite illustrative.
You wouldn't guess looking at the numbers, but they are also generally inflated. While not sufficiently cynical, this at least demonstrates some of the issues with the methodology used. It concludes that sans-inflation, the average sub-Saharan IQ is about 66. African university research used to be a better indicator, as they often randomly sampled both urban and rural settlements. Regional IQ's of ~55 where common in South Africa, a good 15 points short of the official national IQ.
Hey, Africa's doing just fine catering to the 50 IQ demographic. Oh. Shit. Nevermind.
Marxism isn't an ideology.
By Marxist definition, no. In the traditional sense, a set of theories or philosophies held by a group or individual, often not epistemic, which informs a world view - very much an ideology.
Marx wouldn't have existed without liberal capitalism.
No shit. A critique of capitalism requires capitalism. What absolution does that provide though?
You're living under liberal capitalism where western people are actively being dispossessed of their own countries
That's a rw liberal meme lmao, in effort to separate liberalism from things it created. Not only is majority of radical liberalism built on liberal values and ideals, but much of it comes from civil rights act & affirmative action nonsense, including CRT.
all the atrocities done by people they dislike are in fact committed by ideologies/systems they dislike
Lets not ignore that globalism is actively being pushed by the left in hope of accelerated modernization. Arguably the easiest defense against that dispossession, nationalism, has by and large been a target of the left, including Marxists and neo-Marxists, since the French republicans. Progressivism was invariably influenced, and changed for the worse, by the Frankfurt school - refitting Marxian critiques towards culture as a whole. Developing Marx's rejection of logical positivism into an all out crusade by conflating it with inevitable fascism - a crusade which has negatively effected society and academia as a whole. The insistence on change instead of simple observational critique, coupled with the normalization, even romanticization of revolutionary action. How are these the sole responsibility of liberalism? Bastardized as it is, if current neoliberalism is the fault of liberalism, Marxism is at least as wanting for what it devolved into.
Contemporary social justice, as nonsensical and illogical as it is, has been weaponized towards the destruction of western culture. I survives and thrives on that rejection. Do you honestly believe all half of this bullshit would exist as it does now without critical theory, conflict theory, and where the rejection of objectivity is the norm in education and many fields of academia?
There's way more to learn about the system from anti-system people of all stripes, the only thing you're doing is limiting yourself and falling for liberal villains
Are utilized for. The absurdity of it is rather obvious, given the imperialist, exploitative, destructive empire we live under.
Presumptuous. I regard capitalism with no dogma, and I have more than a few bones to pick with liberalism - from classical to neoliberal. Capitalism was an improvement on feudalism. If it is to be supplanted, I simply ask for a superior alternative. Hailing from a very violent part of the world which romanticizes Marxism, and has been flirting with the worst elements of socialism for the past two decades, with a laundry list of historical failures in hand - failures that led to mass loss of life and further exploitation, I cannot in good conscience endorse or even tolerate the proposal of Marxism as a replacement. It is inflammatory, revolutionary, and fails in implementation.
While I appreciate your stance, not everyone is so reasonable as stop at the instructional value of an ideology.
Liberal and left-wing are distinct. If you support left-wing politics, you're already at the train station, likely soon to board that train.
The reality is liberal and left-wing are much abused terms. A sizeable portion of the Democrat constituency would be better described as progressives, or even radical progressives based on the policy they vote for. You can't unironically support equality of outcome, critical race theory and substantial government overreach while calling yourself a liberal.
Unfortunately, liberalism seems to have been yet another slippery slope. Whether inherently flawed or just vulnerable to subversion, it is in part how we arrived at this juncture.
Exactly. It's an ideology that is practiced at everyone else's expense.
Just consider the sheer number of attrocities, the extent of the societal decay that Marx and the likes of the Frankfurt School have wrought. That is the price of tolerating such idealogies. Treat it like the cancer it is.
You're mistakenly crediting them with self awareness.
A good analogy. Maybe a bit too plausible and grounded, though.
Current year bears a lot of resemblance to the Game of Thrones series, really. It's like at some point we ran out of material and all of the internally consistent world-building and nuanced character development went to shit, only to be replaced by vapid husks of characters and plot contrivances at every turn.
I'm waiting for D&D to be announced as the writers for the great reset.
Haha.
My pronouns are Genghis/Khan.
Metzitzah b'peh, it's jewish.
Polygamous marriages are quite common amongst some peoples in South Africa - that is, having many wives. As is curb stomping and/or gang raping said wives for shits and giggles. I dont see this becoming a major trend.
Yeah. More often than not folks starting out with game dev follow a couple of tutorials, try something too complex too soon and land up with a number of half built prototypes that arent even playable let alone moving towards completion. Then many quit.
They established a realistic scope, are building something of their own and gaining valuable experience while producing an actual game at a steady pace. Props.
Congrats guys. Most folks never make it past prototypes. Finishing a game, any game, is no small achievement.
Lol. Sure, any population sample large enough is not monolithic - including "Israeli Jews", a coalition of which are in the middle of deposing Netanyahu. And yes, many of them are leftist.
Furthermore, the ADL absolutely did defend Israel's stance on immigration. The essay "Response To Common Inaccuracy: Bi-National/One-State Solution" used what is now referred to as the Great Replacement theory to do so. That is, before it became politically convenient to brand it a white nationalist, anti-semitic conspiracy theory like the duplicitous pieces of shit that they are.
Unsurprising. Escapism, humor and all things enjoyable are strictly forbidden.
