    americans

    cringe

    social justice

    based

    a lot of americans are very reactionary and against social justice in general, so I don’t know why you are trying to paint social justice as somehow inherently american. de dollarization and anti imiperialism are also good and based, so I hope you aren’t harboring reactionary opinions behind your otherwise cool user name.

    EDIT: Just found your deleted comment in the mod log. On one hand you rightly criticize the horny posting about the BRICS women and ask hasn’t the global south been

    CW: SA

    “raped enough”

    On the other hand, you complained about polytheism, which seems weird and reactionary and chauvinist, considering many people in the Global South, like Hindus in India, and many indigenous cultures, are polytheist. Why do you have it out for polytheism specifically? The imperial core is not polytheist, and if they were, that would be incidental, rather than inherently the issue with imperialism/capitalism.

        American cultural worship of sex and cebrity (sex) idols is a specific polytheism

        Polytheism is simply the worship of or belief in more than one god. I would not characterize “celebrity worship” (a rhetorical phrase), as literal polytheism, because nobody actually believes American celebrities are Gods in the literal sense of the word.

        and that’s part of how I’m going to talk about it because its true

        Except you are operating on a purely rhetorical definition of polytheism that has nothing to do with actual polytheism, as practiced by, for example, Hindus, Taoism, Shenism, Chinese folk religion, Japanese Shinto, Santería, most Traditional African religions, and various neopagan faiths such as Wicca…

        I said nothing about Hindus or any other cultures

        I was using them as an example of what Polytheism really means. It is a real anthropological term you were misusing. I wasn’t suggesting you brought up Hinduism. I was the one who brought up Hinduism to correct your misuse of the term “polytheism.” American culture is not polytheist. The majority of Americans identify as Christian which is, last time I checked, a decidedly monotheistic faith.

        it seems you want debate club about a single word

        Because you were mixing up Polytheism and “social justice” with American reactionary anti communism. Your post which was deleted by the moderators was a hodge podge of reactionary misunderstanding that was trying to lump together several unrelated things. It’s increasingly clear you’re some kind of reactionary.

        I don’t like American debate club politics like this either. you prove my point.

        America is when words have definitions, and the more definitions words have, the Americaner it is. No I don’t “prove your point.”
