I read a few of those books and watched the show. I always got the feeling there was commentary or criticism about marxism in Seldon’s psychohistory.

World News@lemmy.ml•Venezuela Condemns U.S. Bounty on President Maduro as “Grotesque Violation of International Law”
6·5 months agoPeople are realizing the post ww2 system of international law has been a rigged game wielded against the enemies of western imperialism.
The only use of international law to common people is to reveal the hypocrisy of capitalist neo-colonialism, encouraging them to reject their own governments.

GenZedong•Oh hey a new Jakkobin writer! I wonder if - oh yep that's a Zionist. Hmmmm what to make of this hmmmmmmmm
10·5 months agoI think this guy puts way too much stock in the movement to return the prisoners of war. Most zios want to pause the genocide, secure the hostages, and then complete the genocide but somehow without losses. The imaginary coalition he’s pointing toward as meaningful opposition are only opposed to the genocide because the idf is losing and hemorrhaging casualties. Most would be happy returning to business as usual pre al aqsa flood style ethnic cleansing and colonialism where they get their treats and dance parties and don’t have to actually face what their society is founded and dependent on.
Basically saying, ‘if only people would stop pointing out we’re an active colonial project serving white supremacist imperialism, we could have a zionist led opposition to zionism!’
Hate to see the right and left wings of fascism have disagreements on how best to dispose the poor.

World News@lemmy.ml•Russia’s advance in Ukraine accelerates for fourth straight month
11·5 months ago“On Friday, he (trump) said Russia had lost 112,500 soldiers since the beginning of the year, while Ukraine had lost some 8,000, not including those who are still missing”
The ghost of kyiv has single-handedly killed 100,000 of the asiatic hordes!
That’s the funniest set of bullshit casualty numbers I’ve seen yet.
You may be experiencing second hand trauma. I think it happens to a lot of us who are paying attention to the horrors of genocide, imperialism, environmental collapse and all the rest. It can lead to burnout and all sorts of depression/anxiety like symptoms and feeling like you don’t even deserve to feel badly. I don’t know though, just something I’m looking into regarding my own stuff which really rhymes with what you’re describing.

technology@hexbear.net•Why the US is "letting" China win on energy innovationEnglish
32·5 months ago“Rather, China’s leaders are seeing green – not in the environmental sense, but in a monetary one.”
So a government that clearly communicates its intent to clean up its environment and ensure long term environmental health, and continues to advance in this field faster than its comparatively aggressive goals is just greedy, got it. It’s not that the sane people in the world want to disconnect energy production from destructive practices and that drives innovation and development. No, evil China is even more obsessed with money than the republicans!
These writers would crow day and night about the economic benefits of a ‘green new deal’ if their politicians were capable of rejecting the interests of their masters.
And the shifting of blame for the American government’s suicide pact with oil and gas entirely onto the Republicans is fascile. As if the democrats blocking any meaningful change or environmentally sound development through their rotating cast of spoilers they keep in the party isn’t serving the same capitalist interest.
Pathetic jingoism.

54·5 months agoI’m not convinced by anything two pigs say about the events. They have an interest in depoliticizing and obscuring the motivations for violence against the ruling class. Maybe a happy accident, but maybe not an accident at all. In either case the world is better off with fewer of these leaches.
