Because the
<theoretically advanced western left
Sold their fucking souls out by succumbing completely to neoliberal "individualism" and "incremental reform". They believed that the crumbs and drops that were constantly thrown at them throughout the second half of the 20th Century represented progress instead of appeasement until the moment that the USSR was weak and then the taps could be slammed shut by which point decades had passed and the Western Left was far too fat and satisfied and useless to the point of total impotence on any subject.

From then on they basically gave up and allowed NATO (an arm of US Foreign Policy) to spend 3 whole decades trampling over the world with their horrible interventions. Not to even mention all the other interventions that happened before that where the Western Left simply shrugged and fucked off as Latin America and Africa were abused into the over-exploited places they are today.

>My ideology hasn't fundamentally changed at all. In the 6 or so years I've used leftypol my view on some issues (mostly historical positions, etc) has changed, but that's something that should happen as you politically develop, read moar, etc.
So did you just lie about your past? None of what you've stated before about yourself in the past lines up if your ideology didn't change.
>I react this way only when others engage in bad faith. How these arguments typically go is that after putting up like a dozen effort posts in response to some topic, you lot end up just screeching nazi or phone, or cherry pick some aspect of the argument out of context, use of a word, turn to armchair psychoanalysis etc.
Dude, I have seen most of your posts on this board, at least all of those which feature you namefagging. A good chunk of the time, you say really fucking stupid shit right off the bat. Then people respond to that stupid shit, then you take the responses as people just not taking you seriously, and then you just start mixing in "irony", that's really just your own genuine retarded views mixed in with purposefully antagonistic shitposting, with everything you say until you get banned or you just leave. Fucking anything about the "spiritual" nature of communism or trans or whatever fits into the five issues that get you really going is a guaranteed thread featuring you saying stupid unfounded shit that you see as profound.
>At this point I start shitposting in response to lazy bad faith adhom spergouts, at which point the jannies ban me for "arguing in bad faith" or whatever.
Now this is actual irony.
>Look at absolutely any thread where this occurs and any honest observer is going to see this is the case
I have, it's practically unavoidable. There have been some threads where you have unironically come off worse then Lear, and that's saying a lot because I've actually argued with him quite a bit.

And in that note, ban all namefags. This shit should have died in 2016-2018 with Afroplasm

>I'll sit here and effort post for like 2 or 3 hours if somebody is actually making a genuine good faith effort to argue a point, but once people start just soying out and screeching like a bunch of socially maldeveloped autistic teenagers then I'm going to put in 0 effort to actually to respond to you, and yes, at this point I absolutely do start shitposting in order to rile you up.
For what reason? And your bar for this is really, really low. I have seen you start shotposting in response to posts you just found disagreeable, simply because you saw the view professed as "soying out" in of itself.

hate to be the "uhm ackshually guy", but it's important that we also understand the context of what he was saying at this time as slavery was different (but nonetheless cruel) to the time, and neither Peter's nor the Colossians were trying to approve of slavery as an institution but do this silly "kill them with kindness" and engage in a pacifist resistance. It was basically a sort of way of saying even the most wrong of people should be treated with respect and seen as equals under Jesus. I certainly don't agree with this, but this was written in the time of the Roman Empire.

In fact, the term translated in whole "in reverent fear of God" in translations such as the ESV and NASB is phobō, from the same root word used to describe a respectful "fear" of God in verse 17. Those who are truly free aren't dependent on any human authority to determine their actions or attitudes.

This is doubly damning of course as there are contradictory statements within the text due to various passages of the dead sea scrolls that were deliberately left out and why we have other statements of the bible which include:

>Galatians 5:1
>For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

>Colossians 4:1
>Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

>Proverbs 22:16
>Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

Yeah, no, I'm not buying that slavery is a nuanced issue.
>A lot of these writings are based on the context of their times- problem is, is that Christians still hold these old texts as relevant to the day and almost dogmatically reject materialism and the evolution of human morality. I think you'd agree that someone like John Brown wasn't exactly pro-slavery.
You do know that "the Bible is the inerrant, unchanging word of God" is commonly accepted Christian doctrine, right? If you think the Bible is outdated and a product of an irrelevant bygone era in human development, why even be a Christian? You're just picking and choosing the bits you already agree with and handwaving everything that's inconvenient, just like the rightwing Christians handwave all the egalitarianism shit to focus exclusively on their favorite parts about hating gay people and owning women.

Self projection implies that one projects one's own qualities, but key to Feuerbach's understanding of Christianity (it is called the Essence of Christianity) is that we also denigrate ourselves in doing so. We become worthless before this God and we then see ourselves as being fundamentally flawed, forgetting that we are the ones who understood the goodness that we ascribe to God in the first place. It involves transference (abstraction) that is in addition to ordinary projection.

Ex. Regular projection, circa 2000s
Furry: these wapanese anime kiddies and their hentai and lolishit? They might act like they're more normal than us but they're just as perverted and fucked up as us.
Ex. Projection resembling something more like religious projection
Furry: wtf these bronies want to fuck characters from a recent show for little girls? I mean come on, even I'm not that perverted. They're like even worse than us

>>1018688 (me)
This is not to imply furries saw it as a value to be perverts, nor that they're necessarily wrong in these examples, simply that there is a cognitive difference of how they relate to something

People like this exist on wall street and in washington. Certainly what he was working on did happen/is happening, there's proof in this thread and in any us corporate messaging. What he's discussing is the end goal of the process and the real function of IGOs like the UN and world bank.

>>1018474
ok capitalist, globalist, whatever. Why does the left wing in the USA/elsewhere overwhelmingly support IGOs and their effects if they're so controlled by lobbyists? Additionally wouldn't it make any transition to communism fully and finally impossible?

>>1018486
"People like this exist" isn't actual evidence, btw

OP was banned for schizophrenia
he was basically the only one posting pro-/pol/ sources as well so the thread is saged for being another /pol/ spam thread

>>1018486
>People like this exist on wall street and in washington.
Who do exactly what he states? Again, where is the proof.
>Certainly what he was working on did happen/is happening, there's proof in this thread and in any us corporate messaging.
Where?
>What he's discussing is the end goal of the process and the real function of IGOs like the UN and world bank.
Again, where is the proof? "Jews are race mixing us and using propaganda to make us into a slave race" isn't some actual end goal that was arrived by any kind of materialist analysis.
>ok capitalist, globalist, whatever.
Not whatever, read Marx you faggot.
>Why does the left wing in the USA/elsewhere overwhelmingly support IGOs and their effects if they're so controlled by lobbyists?
They don't?
>Additionally wouldn't it make any transition to communism fully and finally impossible?
What would? Capitalism is inherently unsustainable, it isn't some kind of eternal system removed from it's own internal contrdictions.

That's because they're in the position to be revolutionary, the forst world proles vote because any armed struggle against the state would be suicidal and ultimately pointless (see Black Panthers, RAF, Weathermen)

>>1018075
>>1018100
They're more 'revolutionary' because the state is far less willing and able to grant material or political concessions to the working class. People are regularly murdered in Latin America for trying to oppose big business or political reactionaries. Meanwhile in the USA if you make enough noise it's easy enough to squeeze out some reforms, money for your friends or a comfy NGO/union bureaucrat job.

>>1018204
Those conditions are exactly why armed conflict with the state is closed off for now, neoliberalism is eroding those conditions as we speak but there isn't anywhere near the organization or infrastructure to take power

What's funny is even if these files are legit they contradict what Zenz and the west have been peddling about Xinjiang the last few years. They suggest the number detained is only in the thousands, not the false 1 million Zenz gave. There's also nothing proving any forced sterilization or outright killings.

>>993038
Right? If anything this is a bombshell debunking of the alleged genocide of millions. Cohesive holistic narratives don't matter. Facts can exist in isolation and are mere mnemonics to remember how one must feel.

>>989101
They know people aren't going to read it, they're just gonna have a title and a premise and they're gonna shove it in everyone's face as "proof" and run away before anyone can question it.
Thus it becomes gospel truth.

>>>1017538
It's because the claims and the documentation of the specific problems have diverged significantly, and it is well known among the small group of academics/activists who essential own this entire propaganda project. They are Bunin, Grose, Milliward, Byler, and of course, the disreputable and imbecilic Adrian Zenz.

Due to the many outrageous lies told about this situation, it's very difficult to talk about. Early on, many commentators simply assumed the very worst was happening due to anti-Chinese racism, and relied on claims by incredibly untrustworthy groups like the World Uyghur Congress, which have literally decades long history of boldly lying and outright reversing facts. For example, they claimed 600 Uyghur were killed in 2009 riots, despite overwhelming 3rd party evidence.

But I often read these above activists direct reports, because reading the first hand accounts, rather than the think-tank or journalist packaged narratives, provides a dramatically different picture and tells a different story.

Activists have separated "prisons" from "camps", which are also called Vocational Education and Training Centers. VETC are closer to schools than prisons. VETC have also emptied and closed starting in 2019/2020, signs of detention or internment (fences/towers) etc. used to verify facilities via satellite imagery have been dismantled, and the facilities are now used as fully normal school buildings, or their original function. This is supported also by testimony and lack of new testimony. Essentially, there are no more "camps".

The overwhelming majority of detentions and arrests occurred in 2017-2019, and since then, new detentions are rare and the VETC system is essentially over. So when people talk about "a million in camps", pay attention to the vague and careful way that tenses are used, to be ambiguous about whether something *is* happening, or *happened at one point*. To get to the round 1 million number, they use some low-quality methodology. They basically just triple or quadruple official numbers of *arrests*. Because of the nature of the VETC system, they don't really know. This group of scholars, even when being aggressive, make estimates of people who *remain incarcerated* in 100s of thousands, around a quarter million.

This group of people is the smaller group who remain in prison. Academics and activists are not careful to make distinctions betweenPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
