Well, the catholic church is basically a faschist organization by it's organigram. Obey to the leader you fucks or go to hell (literally).

It's low hanging because it's overweight.

Because capitalism is doing unbeatably well in incorporating whatever social movement and then celebrating itself as being "progressive" while just exploiting some valuable aspects of these movements. Sexual liberation? Well you get it back as "freedom" in the form of sexualized advertisement. Feminism? You get it back as women working now basically equally much (but both partners basically earning less in total). Psychedelic drugs that make you question the foundations of our materialistic world? You get it back as micro-dosing to enhance creativity (=productivity). The list goes on, and always will.

Spot on.

While I hope you are right regarding Russia, I'd be careful with sufh statements, nothing's decided yet.

Thanks, can you provide a source for that? Was that true for indiginous people in the Spanish colonies in the Americas in the 16th and 17th century already? Cause these people were not better off. Spain's colonial rule was as brutal and genocidal as any other. The common whitewashing myth goes that the indigenous population of South America 'was reduced' to large parts in this era due to not being immunologicaly prepared to the 'flu'. Well, they were not 'immunologically' prepared to the metal swords and armour and the bullets of the conquistadores. Many of those who survived were killed by working themselves to death in the forced labour system in notorious Spanish silver mines (see e.g. Potosí). Let's be careful not to portray Spanish colonialism as being something 'civilized'* by the omission of this, but maybe that wasn't your intention.

*Well maybe it was civilized, depending on your view on civilization.

Smooooth!

How to keep a man: cut off his scrotum, put it on a plate and have him eat it with maccaroni and corn? 😨

Me too! Dusgusting ice cream in the form and color of a scrotum!
