This comic is from existential comics haha. You can find them online. The artists has been making comics for years 🤣

Why would we like a book written by a nazi collaborator?

But how did that make you feel? Did the feeling of feeling unwelcome lingered long after leaving that job or the environment you were in?

I don’t know the context of why that was brought up around you, but that isn’t inherently a racist thing, just a fact.

I just sat down for the first time with them as a group on the lunch table, and this white girl just casually said that out of the blue. I barely knew any of these people, and there was the Mexican guy and Indian guy sitting, on the table, yet this one white women, just decided to make the comment about black people. It was honestly disrespectful and disgusting, how she decided that it was okay to other someone like that the first time they decide to join them on the table. To me it felt that to her the reasons that caused to this, namely slavery, segregation, apartheid, red lining, sundown towns and racial financial segregation, are just cute side notes, and that her comment was just a cutesy thing to point out, by the fact that she just laughed about it. Back when it happened I didn’t know how to respond to that, since who the hell starts a conversation with that? I was not used to that level of crassness since I wouldn’t do that to anyone. For instance, I barely had any Chinese people were I grew up, but I am not about to other a Chinese person while laughing about it as my first convo with them. That was just pure malice. It was a very disgusting experience

Finally for some professional advice, learn from those that may be smarter than you instead of being upset that they are.

These are not the kind of people who help those that they deem outsiders. They give wrong advice on purpose. Or just act irritated if you ask them anything because they don’t want to have to deal with you nor share the top with anybody. Besides, these are not the kind of people that I would want to learn from anyway. And even if I wanted to, they are pretty good at gatekeeping knowledge and opportunities.

Sounds like my experience, yeah

Can you please elaborate more on this?

Can you please define communism for me?

Dude, take the capitalist boot off your neck

Let’s end capitalism!! Let’s go socialism!!!

Enshittification is a feature of capitalism, not a bug.

And it feels very naive to believe that people change just because they are called out on it and they have to say so to save whatever is left of their reputation. It is even more naive to believe so when the guy hasn’t improve a tiny bit.

Saying that he improved and we should just shut up about it just because he said so, it is literal gaslighting dressed in “just put the other cheek” masochism and giving green light to abuser just because they lie about their supposed improvement

Admitting something because you are called out on it is the same as apologizing for saying racist shit on tv. It is all performative and wouldnt happen if people wouldnt have made it public

He didn’t admit his fault. He just validated his ideology and told other people that they don’t have to work with him.

He is pretty much normalizing abusive behavior and rationalizing it by saying that he is not politically correct and that respect is earned.

Believing that basic human decency must be earned on the basis on intellectual achievements is “good principle”?

Saying “respect must be earned” but giving disrespect freely and abundantly is good principle?

This argument is just a cult of intellect even to the detriment of society, low-key eugenics.

Still ignorant and bad faith arguments that lacks any historical nuance

The Holodomor happened years before the second world war started

The USSR was being under constant invasions by the world powers that didn’t want to allow a socialist state to exist. Add to that, that the kulaks sabotaged their own crops to make people revolt and overthrow the socialist government.

The Great Leap Forward was over a decade after it had ended.

China was a poor agrarian country which infrastructure was destroyed by Japan. It constantly had famines that killed people even before that. Mao just couldn’t fix the issues that caused famine fast enough for another one not to repeat.

Literally millions of people starve in Africa due to not having enough money to eat, and due to the privatization of food and fields. That is capitalism. It is insane that you would say otherwise. And even in America lots of people are food insecure. And a capitalist nation Israel has killed like 100k people and a capitalist nation Germany killed 50 Million people.

Colonization is part of capitalism. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and so is fascism

Begone capitalist bootlicker

This is such a bad faith and ignorant argument.

There were literally famines before Stalin and Mao. And both places were being invaded by other countries, and had their own farmers sabotage the crops to make people raise up against the government. Also, once that was taken care of, nobody ever died of a famine even under Stalin or Mao and let alone after them.

Lets talk about how Britain purposefully created a famine that killed millions of Irish and Indians, shall we? And how European powers take away food security from Africa, and millions starve to death every year under capitalism.

No, it doesn’t … You have a central authority that makes sure that doesn’t happen or the community makes sure that doesn’t happen like how hippies grow their own food

Because community gardens always get destroyed …

Marxism is anti-utopian, it’s based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed “authoritarianism” is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.
