Authoritarian Mod Post No Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker posts are allowed from now on

860 Upvotes

Starting now, we will no longer allow any posts related to Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker in this subreddit. The rules have been updated to reflect this change.

While we realize that some of their content can be informative, entertaining or even politically energizing to people at different stages of their leftist journeys, we also realize that, ultimately, their content is shaped by the demands of the attention economy.

When such content is shared in this community, a number of things tend to happen. First, it predictably generates the very online drama and sectarian infighting that the owners of platforms like Twitch, YouTube or even Reddit (cough join Lemmy cough) rely on for engagement and profit. Second, it invites brigading, which creates additional work for us mods. Work that most mods here are quite honestly not willing to do for such unproductive online drama. Finally, it attracts users who are more focused on drama than on Marxist ideology. This subreddit is constantly growing and we do not want to send the wrong message to those users about what this community is about.

In addition to being a community for Marxist Leninists, this community also exists to help each other deprogram ourselves from mainstream/Western and pro-capitalists narratives. What this community certainly is NOT, is a space to continuously dissect the latest online controversies once a week.

We understand that some users may feel frustrated by this new rule and we would invite some of those users to sit with that frustration and ask whose interests it serves and who benefits from algorithmically boosting and promoting online pseudo-politics that exhausts our energy on irrelevant drama. Our strength lies in principled ML debate, respect for each other, shitposting and a shared commitment to advance real-life communism to the best of our capabilities.

Discussion Americans’ vitriolic hatred for poor people makes me so uncomfortable

• Upvotes

I have multiple relatives, coworkers, and acquaintances here in the states that legitimately can’t go one day without saying something bad about poor people. It’s insane to me. If you went back in time to the Middle Ages and asked even the wealthiest nobles about their thoughts on the poor and homeless, they’d probably still show more sympathy than the average American does nowadays.

I was driving with a relative a few days ago through a city, and literally EVERY TIME we saw a poor or homeless person anywhere, he HAD to comment on it and act like he knew everything about that person and how they actually deserved their situation because they’re “lazy,” “attention-seeking,” “a leech,” or “a druggie.” Mind you, this relative was a severe drug addict throughout most of their life.

And for some reason it’s always the most religious ones. Caring for the poor and needy has been a core tenet of Christianity since the religion’s inception, and yet modern American Christians seem incapable of even a modicum of empathy for those worse off than them.

Yet, trying to get them to say even one negative thing about the wealthy is like pulling teeth. They have infinite amounts of sympathy and grace for the bourgeoisie, no matter what they do. I know so many people that complain constantly about groceries being too expensive or not being able to qualify for welfare or healthcare. Yet, do they ever blame the rich for these problems? No, they just blame homeless people, as if they’re the ones running the world.

It’s just so unnatural to me. Human brains are not supposed to behave this way. Empathy is supposed to be a core human trait, even if it’s not always perfect or distributed evenly. It makes me feel like I’m hanging out with extraterrestrials who have a completely different type of brain than I do.

Communism Will Win Americans will definitely find a reason to complain about this but I still think that this is the greatest idea ever. China really created the best possible example of how religion should be taught and practiced in comparison to the United States.

Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion. No more cultists indoctrinating young children against their will as soon as they’re born. Now they have the freedom to grow up and CHOOSE. Forcing children at a young age to adopt a religion is abuse.

Shit Liberals Say I believe in the hegemonic narrative as a default, and refer to any counter-hegemonic narratives as a "treatise" in the pejorative and laugh without considering what was presented. I am very smart, definitely well informed and full of self awareness.
