  • I have nothing to backup my assertation.

    But I maintain, throughout history and culture, slave/peasant food, is often the best. Anyone can make really good fresh baked bread, but it tastes the ingenuity of the proletarian class to turn stale bread into French toast. Anyone can Make fresh delicious rice dishes, but it tastes the ingenuity of the proletarian class to turn old stale cooked rice into Delicious fried rice. For a carist, the only way to screw up a filet mignon is to overcook it, but it takes the kind of ingenuity only poverty can incubate, to turn beef brisket into a succulent, fall off the fork, cut of meat.

    Some aristocratic fancy lads might enjoy torturing and eating a songbird or force feeding a goose liquor until you can harvest its enlarged liver. But if you want to fill your belly with really delicious food you don't go to the castle, you go to the courtyard.





  • Most CHUDs didn't go to underfunded intercity schools with moldy textbooks. They went to well funded suburban middle class schools

    A world-class education in astrology or alchemy is still going to leave you poorly prepared to understand the world outside of those frameworks.

    A world-class education designed to indoctrinate people into American exceptionalism, starting from kindergarten where they recite the pledge every morning, up through high School, ends up indoctrinating people into American exceptionalism.

    The step of American exceptionalism into fascism, is not a leap, it's a sideways shuffle.

    We can understand WHY and HOW people are indoctrinated into the system they take part in. That doesn't mean we absolve them of the responsibility they have for taking part in it. We can recognize someone is a victim of the social conditioning they were subjected to while still holding them responsible for the way they victimize others.







  • He alluded to it on TrueAnon like 3 years ago. Basically lamenting he lost faith in the Palestinian cause for a while, feeling like people could not be made to care about their brutalization, and regretted advocating for nonviolence because the March of Return was a failure. I can't recall if he mentioned BDS. I don't have sources.

    I don't know how much accountability he has taken. I have a lot of respect for Finkelstein, but the man does have serious blind spots.
