Japan is definitely as misogynistic as Wrong Korea, all the same preasures, demand for children, hyper-capitalist gender roles, pay gaps, rising incel culture exist in Japan. In one particular way Japan is worse than Wrong Korea as denying mass historical sexual violence against women is just a regular part of Japanese politics.

I just want people to stop pretending it’s some amazing sentient technology and treat as what it actually is. A very advanced search engine.

Edit: The fact that this is my most downvoted comment ever shows me that an unfortunate number of comminists also buy into the bs hype, IT’S A FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE. IT DOESN’T THINK. IT JUST CANNIBALISES THE THOUGHTS OF REAL PEOPLE AND SPITS THEM OUT IN YOUR FACE.

I understand that during the most violent periods of the revolution it may be the only option for dealing with counter-revolutionaries. However once a stable sociaist state has been established with a prison system then there is no longer any material justification for it. All arguments for capital punishment under these conditions amount to an emotional desire to see someone bad punished. Functionally speaking capital punishment and life imprisonment work the exact same way, by removing a person who’s potential for recidivism is so dangerous to the population they must be removed permanently. The only difference is that life imprisonment can be corrected if there is a mistake (Which the state will inevitably make, to believe otherwise is idealism) capital punishment can’t. Ask yourself is the death of an innocent person worth your personal satisfaction at seeing someone who deserves to die be killed rather than simply imprisoned for life? For me the answer is obviously no. If yes then would you be ok if that innocent person was you or your family member? It’s understandable to want to see evil people punished as harshly as possible. I do too. But it’s an emotional desire. It’s not materialist and materially speaking if the option of life imprisonment exists then capital punishment is unjustifiable due to it’s irrevocable nature with regard to the inevitable mistakes of the state.

You can’t “eradicate” religion. Not only morally speaking but also practically speaking. The majority of the world is still religious and will continue to be until material conditions improve. You’re not going to get the group with the most revolutionary potential, the proletariat in the periphery, to sign on to a revolutionary program that wants to “eradicate” something they hold literally sacred.

Social media is designed to elicit the worst tendencies of people. Needless antagonism, faceless openents who can’t be hurt, distorted information. The end result is an unproductive space that prizes engagement and dopamine over any actual progress, either personal or communal. Honestly, getting banned from reddit was a godsend.

As an aside I’m also mostly an advocate of the strategic retreat position but I have some doubts, particularly around the normalisation or relations with Israel.

There are many languages, almost always indigenous, that have been revived. But of course the zionists can’t help but act like they’re incredibly special.
