Guess I have to spell it out for you. That anon was saying the retard was doing phrenology, a pseudoscience based on measuring the properties of people's skulls to determine things like intelligence and behaviours. That seems to have gone over the retard 4channer's head and he resorted to busting out the 2006 new atheist youtuber debate lingo

>>1003061
Accusing others of being 4channers when you browse 4chan boards and bring up race pseudo-science which no one else in the thread brought up lmao
Kill yourself retard.

Obviously >>1003024 doesn't since he's pretending that phrenology/pseudo science bullshit had anything to do with anything when literally NO ONE brought up phrenology except yourself holy shit stop drinking lead. Not to mention how

It's economic illiteracy.

>>1002520
no,it's just being politically illiterate.

We should unite into a socialist superstate with a planned economy so that developing the least developed areas becomes common sense.

I don't support paying money to a government that murdered millions of our comrades and banned communism. Being a former colony doesn't automatically make their government good.

I'm a Stirnerite, dude. I still hold a grudge on him for his "postmodern neo-Marxism" BS. So I don't even care about his reputation, I just say how it is. It may not be his room.

A lot of rightists do not like Jordan Peterson.

>>949694
YouTube forcefeeds anyone right of center Jordan Peterson because anyone more serious was banned years ago.
That's literally it. Nobody actually likes him.

>>949694
He says all the shit they agree with and want to hear? its as simple as that? The right just wants their gut instincts intellectualized in some way (muh icky LGBTQXYZs also why dont girls want to fuck me), and Petersons chaos dragon schizoid-tolkien theories do that. its literally that simple. He's just the a political and rightoid version of Tony Robbins. The only reason the right hasn't moved on from him is that no one better has come along to replace him. If they ever find a new guru/daddy with some other theories/rationalizations for why what they think is right is true who's more charismatic, Peterson will fade into obscurity

Lack of water in Puerto Rico town sparks federal lawsuit
Puerto Rico’s water and sewer company was hit by a federal lawsuit on Thursday demanding that it provide services to thousands of residents who lack potable water on a daily basis. The class-action lawsuit was filed by Carmen Maldonado, mayor of the northern town of Morovis, who requested that a judge issue an injunction to force Puerto Rico’s Aqueducts and Sewer Authority to provide immediate service to residents in need.

Drought-stricken US warned of looming 'dead pool'
While the dead bodies are fuelling talk about Las Vegas' mob past, water experts warn of even more worrisome consequences. If the lake keeps receding, it would reach what's known as "dead pool" - a level so low the Hoover Dam would no longer be able to produce hydropower or deliver water downstream. Californians have been told to conserve water at home or risk mandated water restrictions as a severe drought on the West Coast is expected to get worse during the summer months.

Civil Rights Groups Demand Google End Complicity in 'Criminalization of Abortions'
More than 40 civil rights groups on Thursday warned that Google's practice of collecting and storing the location data of its customers is likely to endanger people who seek abortion care if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, as it's expected to this summer, and demanded the company put human rights ahead of its profit-driven marketing tools.

Vaccine Equity Coverage Underplays Barrier of Patents
While Western countries have largely lifted Covid restrictions and are attempting to put the pandemic behind them, countries in the Global South, where vaccines and treatments are still often hard to come by (e.g., just 11% of the African continent has been vaccinated against Covid-19), have no such privilege. But despite US media’s occasionally stated concern with vaccine equity, the role of pharmaceutical companies in perpetuating this gap is rarely mentioned. Covax—the vaccine alliance of non-governmental organizations—has established itself as a mainstay of global vaccination efforts. Wealthy nations that have contributed to this charity have touted it as the singular solution to vaccine inequity worldwide. Vaccinating populations that lack protections against Covid-19 saves lives in those countries and deters the emergence of new variants.

A HISTORY OF NAKED IMPERIALISM CONTINUES AS BIDEN APPROVES SOMALIA REDEPLOYMEN
Almost as soon as the administration of President Joseph Biden announced a redeployment of US Special Operations Forces to Somalia on May 16, the Western media began to spin the intervention. As the BBC framed it, Biden’s deployment would “support the fight against militant group al-Shabab” (sic). The intervention coincides with the re-election of former Somalian President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who governed between 2012 and ‘17. Similarly, the New York Times (NYT) reported that “Biden has approved a Pentagon request for standing authority to target about a dozen suspected leaders of Al Shabab, the Somali terrorist group that is affiliated with Al Qaeda.” But are these motives true? Does Washington really want merely to defeat al-Shabab? Is al-Shabab actually linked to al-Qaeda and, if so, to what degree? As usual, the mainstream state-corporate media reportage is missing context and reference to international law. As we shall see, the context behind the US redeployment is naked imperialism using counterterrorism as the latest in a long line of excuses to interfere in the politics of the strategically-significant country on the Horn of Africa.

Why tf do we still use FPTP

>>1001289
means its very easy for 2 major parties to maintain dominance

>>1001289
Because hypothetically your local representative will support your interests and values. This actually works sometimes in the UK. They have a tradition of caucus rebels that survives. In Canada the party whip is all powerful and is expected to be by the media and therefore by the public. It's actually perceived as a scandal and serious problem whenever the party whip ISN'T controlling the MPs/MPPs/MLAs with an iron grip. It's easy enough for traditions that our form of government relies on to function properly to just stop being followed.

Despite the fact that the "local" aspect of our local representative is reduced to the occasional petition laid before Parliament and promptly ignored, and constituency office as Service Canada escalation centre, that hypothetical local good gets trotted out whenever FPTP is being discussed.

I'm not sure that replacing FPTP with a proportional system would be that much better either. Is a system of government devised in the 1200s really appropriate in a world with the cheap and available communication of the internet? Another party or two might become viable but most Canadians' relationship with their own governance would still be limited to a single vote every four years. It's not like the days of community organization building the CCF.

Del Luca and Horwath resigned, although the alternatives for leadership of the ONDP look to be even worse than her, except for maybe Wayne Gates who was actually involved in trade unions and has a thicc mustache.

>>1002105
This, it makes sure that every able-bodied adult man has had the experience of undergoing military training, learning to shoot and work in a squad, and creates a base of reserves that can easily be mobilized if a war happens.
It also means gangs and organized crime can draw upon those same skillsets but that generally is mostly a problem once the socialist state collapses.
If anything, volunteer militaries protect the bourgeois state from the workers by ensuring the workers are either skinny soyboys only fit to work a counter at Starbucks, or obese diabetics only fit to consume. It gets so bad that the generals have to tell the civ government they literally can't meet defense requirements because so much of the population is unfit. That's why school lunches and mandatory polio vaccination became a thing in the US, many American farm kids were essentially cripples in the 1930s due to poverty-related reasons.

>This little "anomaly" of history is never explained by the "real" Marxists for some reasons.
because dogmatic marxoids think in a linear ordered stages of history fashion
Maxists of old were completely wrong with their absolute impoverishment of the working class dogma
there's only relative impoverishment, and just like with the competitive advantage theory, it is only absolute that matters

so no absolute impoverishment - no revolutions in the first world
but retarded dogmatic marxoids keep clinging to this false assumption and jump through mental hoops in a futile attempt to explain why no revolutions in developed industrial countries

Damn. You're right. Idk what else to say.

>Climate change activism is the pursuit of the petty bourgeoisie and the comfortable university students who share their mindsets.

in any case, climate change is the fault of the first world bourgeoisie, and it's absolutely going to devastate the third world while the 1st world continues to hoad what resources remain and pull up the drawbridge to their fortress. Surely one can see how relevant climate change is to workers everywhere, but especially in the third world.

>>1001832
>Saint Simon
A Christian pacifist who was thrown in jail for being a counter-revolutionary during the French Revolution and swore off revolutionary violence. Not a socialist.
Your shitty opinion has been discarded. "Utopian" socialism was not actually socialism. Any socialism that does not set as a goal the abolition of private property cannot in any meaningful sense be described as "socialist".
>Liberals aren't that bad at state building
They are. Like >>1001793 pointed out, the only reason liberalism ever achieved hegemony was by conceding multiple times to left wing and socialist forces in terms of welfare state programs. Now that the communist threat is gone everything is being taken off the table. Prices of food, education, housing, insurance, transportation, and everything is going up while wages have stagnated. I agree that a socialist revolution is unlikely however you mistook that as me expecting liberalism to continue. It's not. Everything is collapsing before our eyes.

Paternalistic Conservatism ala Metternich and the rest will always be closer to socialism than liberalism. This is irrefutable I'm not even going to bother getting into it because it's obvious you do no research judging by how you threw out Simon as an example of someone who enjoyed the French Revolution when you didn't even realize he was persecuted by it.

>Maxists of old were completely wrong with their absolute impoverishment of the working class dogma
huh? wasn't that official soviet propaganda line? the same as the permanent crisis of capitalism even tho marx wrote there is no such thing as a permanent crisis under capitalism

Why do people keep pushing Du Bois who wanted black ppl to support WW1 when you have Hubert Harrison?

>>1001825
Du Bois got based nearer the end of his life, he started as a lib.
Also, Black Reconstruction in America is a great book, it clearly shows the necessity of a revolutionary dictatorship
