Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Definitely dramatization, but I find it interesting that you jump straight from “politics in a capitalist system are not about human rights.” Which yeah, no shit, all the way straight to, therefore that’s the end of the human race.
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Also, it’s doomer af and self defeating to conflate the two and come to the conclusion that because capitalism sucks, humans suck, and we deserve the end we get. Humans are the product of the environment we inhabit and the systems that shape our decisions, both of which are possible to change.
The USSR went from plowing fields with wooden tools, all the way to manned space flight within 60 years despite being the sworn blood enemy of the strongest financial global power. Not by changing their peoples ideals, but through changing the environments and systems they interact with.
What all idealism and no materialism does to someone is convince them that what we have now is the best it can be, simply because of innate human qualities, which just serves to entrench the status quo. So, very Reactionary in that sense.
