I didn’t make a moral argument about virtues and vice. I made a material argument about history. This is not a response.
Humans are gonna cornhole one another until the earth gets swallowed by the Sun.
And for the last 600 years the North Atlantic has been doing it to 80% of the world under a minoritarian regime that has overseen the devastation of the planet, multiple genocides including several that are still ongoing under the rule of the West, and the extraction of wealth from every part of the planet and concentrated in the hands of the ultraminority. We can reverse that by ending the reign of terror that is the West’s dominance of the world.
if your political movement includes reparations, then be prepared for fascists to win against you, bc people just won’t go for it. Not when they’re more debt saddled every year and their children’s future looks ever dim.
Don’t worry. The people you’re talking about are far and away the minority and if they decide, again, to go fascist, they will eventually be dominated by the majority and crushed.
I’ll be honest, arguing with people on the left feels exactly like arguing with people on the right, and that’s why I guarantee we’re headed for the worst of all possible scenarios.
Centrism is literally the position that all of the genocide committed by your society is totally fine and acceptable and nothing needs to change. You’re headed for the worst of all possible scenarios for you. But the rest of the world will eventually dismantle the Eurocentric empire, and that means rematriating wealth and land to the people it was extracted from. Necessarily that means all of the Eurocentric world will regress financially and regress in terms of influence and power, but that’s what’s required for healing.
