lol probating people for a “rush to the defense” is just you being thin skinned about mod sass and you always want to gear it into the streisand effect. if you cant exercise any restraint maybe stop being a moderator

f stop made a good point about this the last time people threw one of these tantrums that i'm going to resurrect from pages past

F Stop Fitzgerald posted:

calling the r-word a "slur" is stupid and lame move tbh. ableist language completely dominates this forums but for some reason i can insult any moron for being an insane smoothbrain but only this one gets the lofty designation of slur (the worst kind of word you can use ofc)

it's absolutely true that ableism or sexism or w/e as such pervade forums culture and wouldn't really make sense to try to police rigorously. specifically not letting people call each other the r-word or worse is an arbitrary line in the sand drawn to signal a baseline level of inclusive language such that people with mental illnesses or who take care of disabled family members or w/e hopefully feel comfortable enough to post here. there's nothing magical about "retard" such that you start accruing dark side points for saying it but not for saying "idiot", but if there is a prevailing social convention against "retard" and not against "idiot", then demanding to be allowed to say the former regardless of pushback is itself a problem. there doesn't seem to be an equivalent consensus around "bitch", although maybe one will develop in the future, who knows

it's like being really insistent about continuing to say "colored people" even if you're asked to say "people of color" instead. yes, they're basically the same. so why the struggle?

It's not purely "materialist" because critical theory deals directly with ideology and culture. A simple materialist analysis isn't going to help you develop a taxonomy for fascism, for instance. You can definitely use materialist analysis to explain why people become fascists, but that doesn't explain the thing in itself.

to be clear, the English translation has already been available in PDF/EPUB for a while now - I read it last year and have occasionally posted excerpts in CSPAM

this book is cool

quote:

It’s precisely in the field of the industrial apparatus built in preparation for the war where the Third Reich is confronted with even more bitter surprises, as shown in Hitler’s notes:

November 29th, 1941: “How is it possible that such a primitive people can reach such technical objectives in such a short period of time?”

August 26th, 1942: “With respect to Russia, it is incontestable that Stalin raised the standard of living. The Russian people don’t go hungry [at the moment when Operation Barbarossa was launched]. In general, it’s necessary to recognize that they have built factories of similar importance to Hermann Goering Reichswerke where two years ago nothing but unknown villages existed. We come across railway lines that aren’t on the maps.”

this stalin guy sounds pretty good - adolf hitler
