I just don’t like using the straw man memes used to more often than not dehumanize us.

Can we not be using right wing propaganda?

Again I don’t know Spanish but doesnt Latine make more sense than Latinx? English uses the letter X more as a symbol than as an actual letter (see Elon Musk’ obsession with it for example), while Spanish uses it much more in daily conversation. So using X to replace the gendered part of Latino/Latina seems pretty neo-colonialist to me. It just doesn’t seem right for American English to be dictating how Spanish is spoken even if it’s for the purpose of inclusivity of all things. Look what happened with the word Indian, it’s offensive but not using it can also be offensive. The biggest problem is that the native speakers didn’t get a choice in what they wanted to be called. And while Spanish is not a native language (especially in Al Andalus), Spanish speakers do face discrimination for their language. I don’t know your racist if you use Latinx, you’re homophobic if you use Latino. I just try to default to Hispanic as much as possible. Which offends Portuguese speakers, so then I just use Latin, which doesn’t make sense because then we are just talking about Italian and I don’t give a shit about Italians. Overall I find it very confusing.

I guessing the people who had to find leftism are white because the rest of the world sort of just grew up with the people around them being comrades

I think pittsburg would look better if it got the Dresden treatment by an international coalition of the global south and big thick commie blocks were erected on the rubble.

Seriously all of you are simping for pittsburg. Stop it

Posadists do not have a monopoly on nukes. The imperial core being hit by a few dozen would be a good thing, a few hundred and that might cause friendly fire in the global south with nuclear winter, a few thousand we could probably recover and build socialism in the rubble but it wouldn’t be worth it, tens of thousands everyone on earth is dead, our atmosphere is now thicker than Venus.

Punk rock was also neonazis, idolizing counter culture as the moral authority on what is right is stupid.

Cloning technology is cool but pet ownership is controversial. All the animals (and even plants) that humans domesticated or tamed, it has mostly been a bad deal for them. The few species that have benefited from us are either carnivorous, invasive, or ecologically damaging in some way. There is no consensus among animal rights activists, animal liberationists, and vegans as what we should do with pets and other domesticated animals. Some popular theories include simply ending their breeding so they will die off naturally, culling them all because from a utilitarian perspective that would result in less harm overall since keeping every single domesticated animal alive without a profit to be gained would be incredibly hard and damaging to the environment, there’s some people that think we should try to integrate the animals we already domesticated into society because we owe that to them for messing with their evolution (think street cats that cities pay to keep healthy).

Now on the issue of cloning, animal experimentation is highly unethical due to the lack of consent, it was necessary in the past in the same way it was necessary for ancient humans to eat meat as hunter gatherers. But cloning is necessary for bringing back extinct animals, ending diseases, and moving beyond the binary the spectrum. Brining back a dog because you really like that dog is narcissistic, it’s not even the same dog, even if we could put the memories back in then you run into the teleporter problem because it’s not a direct continuation of that individual, just a copy. And all of this leads to another question, do people or animals even deserve to be immortal. The answer is no, everyone and everything should die. Even if we could insure consciousness doesn’t get interrupted during cloning, or we could make bodies that are invulnerable. Other than like bringing back extinct species that we need for their evolutionary niche in the ecosystem, we should not try to stop death,

But will I be able to build historically accurate communism in ancient egypt?
