What did old Malcolm X say about the media again? Something about the media's purpose being to make you hate the oppressed and love the oppressor?

It's actually somewhat difficult to tell which aspects of US policing wasn't born out of the slave patrol. I guess you could say that the Texas Rangers is an aspect that wasn't born out of it... it was born out of the need to commit pogroms and generalized genocide against Native Americans.

“Israel’s response goes beyond the scope of defense”

Yeah... since 1949.

Wouldn’t a one state be a better solution.

Pretty much, yes. It's only an unpopular opinion amongst white supremacists and pro-colonialists.

Not socialism.

Posting "90% negative on the West in general" is still softballing it.

But yeah... still lots of pro-Russian propaganda flowing around here.

Fuck... she better pray he's not a restless sleeper.

At this moment? I'd say we should make peace with the fact that there aren't too many generations of humans ahead of us.

At one point or the other, we will have to accept the fact that saving humanity is not within our power - but wreaking vengeance on the elites that caused it is.

You do understand that this whole fetishizing-imaginary-lines-on-a-map-thing isn't even traditional in the US, right? It only became a thing after WW1?

Also, non-capitalist countries

What non-capitalist countries?

Hiding your pro-fascist tendencies under a paper-thin "concerns over objectivity" will only work on liberals.

Labor is what’s scarce in real life

No, it isn't. We have more labor on this planet that we would know what to do with if we stopped repressing it in order to keep a small group of billionaire parasites in the money.

and a technological Holy Grail is required to bridge that gap.

Absolutely not... there is nothing humans would need that we couldn't produce in spades using already existing methods. The heinous abuse and mismanagement of human resources in our current mode of production does not require techno-fetishizing non-solutions - it requires a social solution. Hence, socialism.
