Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•How much of what's on lemmy is actual advertising or bots? Head over to world and you've got all these people who are clearly just reposting mainstream media articles on schedule, not even RSS ones
12·1 month agothere’s no advertising in here - first of all
second - the bots here serve a purpose of not only being public RSS but of spreading awareness of youtube alternative links.
just reposting mainstream media articles on schedule, not even RSS ones
What’s the difference to you?

3·2 months agoI would more or less highlight and underline but not note unless I feel it, but it’d be more efficient overall if I had any book marks (that’s why I bookmark and underline, when I read online a lot)
so more like 2.

3·2 months agoWell, knowing the ending of that movie (spoiled in a compilation) before watching the film, I would say that
spoiler
it was basically ‘Death of A Salesman’ levels of fumble and error, that leads to the inevitable conclusion, but at least the gamble actually paid out.

Communism101@lemmygrad.ml•What is the basis of antisemitism?
1·2 months agoWell, I’m a bit confused on that too and it’s weighin’ on my conscience
Is it correct to understand that antisemitism itself is one possible manifestation of the logic of antisemitism and the logic should not be viewed as exclusive to Jewish people?
Yes…
Now on the first question, regarding their role in political economy, take my info with a grain of salt as I try my best to explain the origins of medieval judenhass:
The role of Jews in medieval political economy (taking England for an example) was to do the employment that Christians weren’t specialized in, religiously forbidden to do, etc. due to the fact that Jews were originally outsiders, both in faith and foreign nature.
In this case, the initial role of merchant and the later role of moneylender seemed to define them, as they evolved to fit the necessary economic niches to be filled during those times. {not that they had much choice, since medieval society barred them from others}
Also, regarding England:
Nonetheless, they were kept as a necessary economic ‘evil’
It was only when the contemporary rise of proper international banking from Italy competed with their role as moneylenders, that the European kingdoms in the 1300s finally started to exile the Jews, alongside the increasing local judenhass (often encouraged), which made the Jews economically obsolete in their political economy.

Communism101@lemmygrad.ml•What is the basis of antisemitism?
5·2 months agoI think it’s gotta do with the renaissance in Jewish social mobility and acceptance into secular society in 19th century western capitalist society
To summarize, the framework of antisemitism is essentially based around the reactionary preconception that their social mobility would lead to the ‘subversion’ of the imperialist and capitalist West, by these historically disenfranchised peoples, with not only their newfound ‘surreptitiously acquired power’ but its foreign values that justify it.
Consequently, this preconception acts as not just a justification of discrimination, but a violent movement against them. And this logic is then extrapolated to other peoples of the world, especially and purposefully revolutionaries, who were challenging those same ruling classes.
The logic of antisemitism, far from being banished with the Nazis, became completely naturalized in the West. From Lord of the Rings to The Dark Knight Rises we hear the same story again and again and again: {according to the ruling classes,} swarthy hordes are surreptitiously manipulated behind-the-scenes by crooked wizards and deceptive illusionists — often hiding in plain sight, in our midst! — and lay siege to everything that is balanced and well-rounded and pure and good and holy and white and which by rights should be eternal. The manipulators do so for no discernible reason other than greed and ressentiment.
The tragic cycle begins to appear eternal: innocent, well-meaning, hard-working folks are, time and again, viciously tricked by the scapegoating of a new rogue in the gallery — Indigenous, Black, Spanish, Jewish, Soviet, Vietnamese, Cuban, Serbian, Muslim, Libyan, Syrian, Korean, Venezuelan, Russian, Chinese.

World News@lemmygrad.ml•With Hyundai ICE raid, Trump bites the South Korean hand that’s feeding him
7·2 months agoIt wasn’t even so much that the South Korean workers were detained — it was how they were detained. ICE officials released videos of the workers with shackles on their arms and feet. “Is this any way for the US to treat an ally?” asked the left-leaning South Korean news outlet Hankyoreh, while the country’s most prominent conservative outlet, Chosun Ilbo, labeled the raid a “merciless arrest operation … that cannot happen between allies.”
Ok, the more I think about this - the more the fact that Colombia merely protested to the same thing that South Korea only complained about looks more ridiculous by the day…
Ah well - more labor for the homeland - less for the Braindraining SStates of Amerikkka

26·3 months agoIt’s a nice little post-hoc justification for any repressive policies for ‘national security’ like bombing random small boat and claiming they have drugs and narcotraffickers on em.
Bomb a hospital? Claim there’s a drug gang operating there, judging by the presence of fentanyl (which one can omit the fact it can be used as anesthesia)
Restrictions on ammonium nitrate fertilizers? Oh, don’t be silly, that’s the same substance that can be used for ANFO bombs.
You don’t even need to directly say, just frame and imply it as it is, and the western media will make its conclusions.
