Celot posted:Because I don’t know, and neither do you. But you want an explanation anyway, so you made one up. my explanation for why there are more religious fundamentalists in certain places than others could certainly be WRONG, i grant you that but if you treat religious fundamentalists per capita as a causeless mystery, then it itself becomes the primary cause, and suddenly instead of material conditions we are explaining history via intrinsic psychological differences between different populations. as i have said, this kind of thinking has a rich pedigree and puts you in the company of many great liberal theoreticians

i'm gonna quote from the end of a long post a friend of mine wrote around seven years ago about why stalin was good: 6. It is not communists you should fear coming to power; it is the inevitable alternative. A long time ago, Rosa Luxemburg wrote that "The triumph of imperialism leads to the annihilation of civilization." She was writing about World War I, but it is not less true now and it is not a figure of speech. Not so long ago, there was a stable, secular, multicultural, tolerant, well-educated society in Iraq, which had a Sunni government in the socialist Ba'ath party. The Western, capitalist, imperialist countries (all words for the same thing) destroyed it. In its place, as a direct consequence, we now have the Islamic State caliphate. Again, this is not figurative. The exact same individuals who once supported the secular Hussein government, including his own daughter, are now on the side of IS. Caliph Ibrahim's deputies in charge of the Syrian and Iraqi portions of IS are both former military officers from the Hussein era. The people have not changed. Material reality has; because it is impossible to defeat the United States as a secular socialist government, they must do it as mujahideen. The old dichotomy Engels described between "socialism and barbarism" remains true. The more capitalists prevail, the more the world will look like Islamic State, because imperialists always lose, and socialism has been so thoroughly defeated that jihad is the most successful recourse for anti-imperialist resistance. The United States is presently at war in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libyia, Afghanistan, and Northwest Pakistan. Do you think we will win? What do you think will happen when capitalist imperialism loses? The problem, of course, is that imperialists never think.

when i was a precocious undergrad, before my mental health, i spent a lot of time in graduate classes hearing hungover 30 year old loser nerds discuss boring minutiae about gender studies. i loved it, i learned many interesting things, and i am so deeply grateful that i didn't catch the brainworms turns out all of history is just the progression of STEMlord brainpans
