Defenders of capitalism love using that "mutual benefit" argument lmao.
Like of course it's beneficial for a worker be employed by a capitalist if the alternative is to not have a job and die. The whole idea of mutual benefit in that relation depends on the logic of capitalism itself.
I think there's a distinction to be made between racism and tribalism, or at least white supremacy understood as an ideology and tribalism, more specifically I would call white supremacy an advanced form of tribalism.
In Ethiopia for example (or many other countries in Africa), there may be tribal animosities and even claims of superiority between different tribes, but however vile some of these tribalist beliefs and practices may get, it's not at all comparable to white supremacy. Not even just in a moral sense, but in how it came to be, what its material function was and what its impact has been.
@Come_to_BR
but in how it came to be, what its material function was and what its impact has been.
whats unique about white supremacy compared to previous forms of tribalism
ima watch those videos you linked tmo tho, if that answers my question

Well first in how it came to be historically, they both rose from material conditions, but those conditions were different and that lead to different material outcomes. These tribalist attitudes in African countries come and go. Again I will use Ethiopia as an example since I know about that the most, but while there are ethnic tensions in Ethiopia now, it wasn't always like this, periodically these tensions can flare up and then cool down again.
This isn't the case with white supremacy, while there may be times where racist attitudes are more prevalent and extreme, white supremacy as a whole is constantly present, because it's more deeply ingrained, because the material conditions that require and perpetuate white supremacy have been constantly present.
And yeah def watch those videos they go way more in depth

I always hate how people call any and everything "fascist", its especially weird to make the distinction between Russia and Ukraine to be Fascism VS Liberalism. Ukraine and Russia are much more similar to each other than Ukraine is to any western liberal democracy. Not to mention that Ukraine has far right paramilitary organizations incorporated in its army, and they're running around murking government officials. As if The Base or the Proud Boys joined the National Guard and a member assassinated Fauci. But then again these tend to be the same people pretending that the civil war in Syria is also between liberal democracy and fascism, and their champions against authoritarian war criminal Assad are... Al Quaeda and ISIS

While I definitely agree that there's an obvious difference between exploitation and killing animals for consumption, I don't see how that challenges the argument about individualist consumer activism, which I think he's trying to do here.

are you against all form of animal product usage at all or are you only against factory farming/inhumane disregard for animal life

It's the only way they can justify sending such a ridiculous amount of weapons into the country. Saw a tweet talking about how that's "anti-fascist solidarity" and it's like... yeah sure, tell that to Ukrainian leftists, jews, Russian-speaking and Roma minorities. But on the other side of the coin you have the people who switch that view around to defend the Russian invasion, another brainworm.
Why there so many communists on ktt tho frfr
Communist Party of KTT2 (CPK2) soon
communism is when gay cartoon
You joke but Communist Party Of India (Disneyist) has been gaining significant territory in the last few years
Downwards. X seems to be in the chief position of causality, and it’s decreasing effect on W3 leads to it upholding W2, which decreases Y
im about to fail this s***
too much time arguing on ktt instead of studying
The first one was actually upwards I got it backwards
This one is also upwards
The first one was actually upwards I got it backwards
This one is also upwards
i love you
how do u calculate it tho
also i think the first one has no confounding because theres no path from W to Y that doesnt pass through X

It’s less calculation and more the flow of logic
This is coming from someone who encountered whatever this subject is for the first time tho
For the first one it says the relation between X and Y, why would W matter if it isn’t asking forndirect relations
on the last chapter of capitilast realism, ngl some of this s*** kinda went over my head but I think I get the gist
any recommendations that maybe aren't so advanced?
