  • So you don’t think it’s good that Russia is being stopped from genocide in Ukraine? You’re really saying the quiet part out loud here. I agree that the US has no credibility but I also think things would be just as bad if China and Russia were in charge.

    All I was saying is that just because the US is not doing enough to stop genocide in Palestine doesn’t mean that Russia is a victim for not being allowed to engage in their own imperialism. USA bad. Also Russia bad. Maybe worse? Doesn’t excuse US actions but Russia isn’t some underdog that’s being picked on unfairly.

    Ok I’ll spell it out for you instead of joking around then. This meme is incredibly accurate. There has been nothing in human history that has caused more pain and harm than religion and Christianity is the worst offender. It absolutely deserves critique and you’re being unreasonable for saying that Lemmy is wrong for doing so.

    I dunno man. Even in a utopia where we control all the means of production you still need someone to schedule work hours and order ingredients and stuff. They should be beholden to the rest of the team just like anyone in any position so I see what you’re saying. However, comparing them to cops is a little extreme. These “bosses” need to be in agreement with the rest of the labor class and calling them thieves is unhelpful when the real enemy are the shareholders. Let’s start with taking down the actual ruling class before pitting workers against other workers just because some of them have been elevated to minor positions of power by a corrupt system. Of course there are bad bosses who buy in too much but I’ve had plenty that actually care and are just as exploited even if they make 5 or 10 percent more slave wage.

    All I’m saying is that this meme is hurting class solidarity and if it actually said “capital owners” and not “your boss” then the 90% of people who aren’t experts on Marxist theory might understand. As it is, I feel like most people would just read this and think, “well then my boss is a thief and I hate them for that”, which doesn’t help.
