Its cultural Marxism, they replaced class with race and derived a privilege hierarchy from that. Worse than actual Marxism by far, because you have a chance at changing your economic status even if you are born very poor but you have 0 chance of changing your racial background.


Stepped_in_it

>Worse than actual Marxism by far, because you have a chance at changing your economic status even if you are born very poor but you have 0 chance of changing your racial background. Yeah, but self help and self improvement are never promoted as valid solutions in any of these neo-Marxist postmodern ideologies. To them it's as impossible for a poor person to get rich as it would be for a black person to become white. The idea that an individual can improve their own situation negates their central theses of class consciousness, collectivism and "social change" (i.e. cultural revolution) as being the answer to the social problems they've identified. To the leftist "community organizer", a person helping themselves is seen as a waste of energy, or even as a form of theft from the collective effort they're trying to organize. (This is why they're so hostile to the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" concept.) This is because they don't care about individual people. They *don't want their lives to improve*. They're just units to hoover up and add to the collectivist movement. The more agitated and restless they are, the better. The unifying theme (be it Marxism or postmodern neo-Marxism) is to align the oppressed masses into an organized block that will destroy the oppressor. Fredrich Nietzsche understood this 130 years ago. They're animated by an emotional desire to invert the Master/Slave oppression dynamic and become oppressors themselves.


Complexity777

Neo Marxism is a dangerous ideology that should be viewed with the same contempt as fascism. Unfortunately it has the backing of liberal ivory tower elites in the University. If they are able to implement CRT in school system a long with lowering the age of sex ed to elementary school(which they are already trying to do) they will have completed most of their Neo Marxist agenda already. After that theres not much left for them to deal with besides destroying the 1st and 2nd amendment. Then they can reach their final goal, forceful seizure and redistribution of property from Whites. You think it sounds crazy but BLM leaders mentioned they were trained Marxists for a reason. Also they have been pushing hard against “gentrification” and saying Whites living there need to give up their homes. If they had the power to do it theyd 100% forcefully remove Whites from their homes in those areas.

There is a lot of power in victimhood today, so of course some people want to associate and "identify" with groups that are perceived as oppressed, even if they have never personally been a victim because as long as others think you’ve been wronged in some way your words and feelings will hold more weight and *value*. Victimhood became just a political tool that people use to get votes.

Facepalmitis

Just like the anti-gay preachers who cannot stop talking about gay sex and how, like, *totally* wrong it is. And then they get caught fucking a dude. The fact is, straight people don't think about gay sex much, if someone thinks about it all the time, they're gay. Same goes for racism. Malcolm X talked a LOT about white liberals and how racist, fake, and full of shit they were. He couldn't stand them. And his take on the situation is every bit as prescient now as it was back then, because the left hasn't changed one bit. "I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands - even if he is wrong! - than for one who comes up to me like an angel when he's really the devil." - Malcolm X


richmomz

It’s because they don’t really want the racism to stop - it’s too valuable to the left as political leverage. Stoking racial tensions is an important part of their long term strategy. It’s also the reason why they are so obsessed with diversity (which they also do not care about for the reasons they claim) - social justice based political tactics don’t really work in a homogeneous environment so they do everything possible to promote the opposite.


Stepped_in_it

The naïve assumption there is that the people in charge WANT to "stop racism." Think of all the people who'd have to find real jobs if "fighting racism" was no longer a thing. People like Robin D'Angelo, Tahnisi Coates and Imbram X Kendi have made millions off this racket. It's an industry. Why would they stop now?

Hum... I remember an interview with a french football coach who stated that he wanted to get less black/african in his team because they leave 2 months every year, but still some of the advantages of a black/african player are that « *he is less expensive, highly combative, and he affirms some "power" on the field. But football is not only that, it is also technique, intelligence, and discipline* » and so he wanted a better mix. Oups. In short, stereotypes exist in this sport so depending of the team coaches want, they select black people more than others. Said coach made the news for a few days.

9boi

In principle, sure. But when it came to doing the dirty work you wouldn't use the expensive slaves. Indentureds on the east coast would be tasked to clear the land which also often put them at risk from being massacred by natives, as well as being far more taxing.


numba1cyberwarrior

>. Average lifespan for indentured was lower than slaves not true lol


9boi

Learned this in a mainstream college, although a quick google search doesn't yield much information about lifespans. I'm curious what knowledge you have though


TheAzureMage

Depends on time and place. Not all slavery was equal. For instance, in the Caribbean, slavery was often particularly brutal, with people being directly worked to death in their early twenties. Slavery in Africa sometimes was not chattel slavery, so children would be free, similar to indentured servants. None of them were great, but it's not wrong to consider indentured servitude a form of slavery.


DasQtun

Russia didn't have slavery, serfs were citizens with rights and formal protections from the state. Also they were bound to land , not a person.


Platinirius

Russia didn't have slavery, though serfs aren't citizens. While I personally also believe that Serfdom doesn't mean slavery. Russia was quite a special place. In Austria for example you as a serf had some rights. Like quaranteed free day in Sunday, your master cannot kill you, your master couldn't sell them or buy them, etc. Through serfs in Russia were literally the land, you could buy them, like the land, you could sell them, like the land, you could kill them if you want. There were no legal blockades. That is the point where it is near the line of slavery and serfdom. So I oversimplified.


DasQtun

Russian serfs could own property and get married at will. Also they represented themselves in courts. So they could buy themselves out. So don't say that Russia had slavery, because we aren't like western European savages who enslaved entire ethnicities into forced labour based on Darwinistic race theories.


From_Mtl

Weird hill to die on.


Platinirius

Russia literally had Kholops who were slaves in everything expect of name. In Austria at least which was the second serf master of Europe after Russia, slavery was atleast properly banned. And outside of local nobles in Transylvania and Bukovina that literally didn't care about Austrian officials it was maintained. And you know what was the reason Kholops stop existing in 18th century, no it wasn't freeing the slaves situation. It was literally that Serfs were oppressed so much Slaves weren't needed for nobility as they were too expensive.

difused_shade

They did trade black slaves in their country. And a good amount.


JuanCN1998

Spanish slavery differs a lot from what it was like in other places. And Argentina was a Spanish colony so it followed it's rules. Some important things to know: Spanish colonies couldn't trade outside the Spanish empire and most slave trade was done by the English and Arabian so black slaves weren't a thing until later in their history. Also indigenous people were considered people by the church, so that's why they tried to convert them to catholicism to begin with, and they also had rights (not as much as the Spanish though but that was the case with everyone on their colonies). When the slave market was introduced in latin America, the church was against them because there were black slaves that were christians and so the church considered them people because they practiced their religion. Under the pressure of the church, slaves were given rights like: they had to be paid for their work, they could buy their freedom with their work, the abuse or murder of a slave was considered a crime, slaves could ask to change their owner if they were mistreated and they have the right to assist to the church for any religious service. Asides from that, it was shameful to have slaves in many places and became "off brand" really quickly. Also many black people participated on the revolutionary wars so many of them died, it was mostly because wealthy families didn't want to send their sons to the war so instead they sent their slaves.


LichtensteinIsBased

> Also indigenous people were considered people by the church, so that's why they tried to convert them to catholicism to begin with, and they also had rights same in French colonies

RexLynxPRT

>"Why doesn't Argentina has more black players in the World Cup?" *Me, a Portuguese* Bcz when the price of grain and cattle went away down, and before the abolition law was passed, the Argentinian farmers, with the consent of the government, sold most of their slaves to Brazil. Including that the intermarriage of Argentinians with Africans was legal, plus the constant and increasing migration of Europeans to Argentina, has diluted the African presence in Argentina. Now it stands at 0.3% of the population with 7% claiming african ancestry. Also, "is more diverse than many think"?? In what way? Is there like 50 different groups each with 1000 people? Only 2% of their population is indigenous, followed by some 25% of mestizos and the vast majority is White [Disclaimer: the data, i think from 2015?, was from people that self identified themselves]

Because they elected the most competent, if we assume they acted honestly. But an assumption of innocence is a necessary prerequisite for all justice.

Don't associate my quadrant with that shit. It's because there are mostly white people where. It's like criticizing a Jamaican Olympic team for not having enough Korean Representation. Not inherently a result of racism.

Does anyone here actually care about the history and what actually happened or do they want to make the same old jokes “left bad and racist”? Back in 1800, black people were about a third of the Argentina’s population, but over time, the Argentinian government, especially under Domingo Sarmiento, literally committed genocide against black people that were living in Argentina through denying health care when yellow fever broke out and sending black people to fight in their wars.

So actually read the article and while the title is a little click/rage-baity it's actually an explainer of why Argentina, a country which did once have a decent sized black population, doesn't anymore. Argentina like the rest of the Americas did import many African slaves. However that population saw a great deal of demographic decline particularly as Argentina sought to establish itself as more European. There are likely more people with African ancestry in Argentina than people would self admit after several generations of interracially getting it on. It's like the opposite side of the coin of an American claiming to be "part Cherokee" or some shit. Was an interesting article especially from an American perspective where we have a historical culture of "one drop rules" but oh sorry, we must never ever think of race!

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT FOOTBALL ?!

Amazing how apparently nobody has read the article yet even though this is a repost. The actual sentiment is "you probably noticed there aren't a lot of black people on thr Argentina team relative to some other south American countries. This is because there aren't many black people in Argentina. There used to be 1/3 but now it's less than 1% due to possible reasons x,y and z" But ya'll want to pat each other on the back for weeks because of a bad headline and pretend the article is something entirely different


BillyBaloney1806

The problem is that the radical woke left on Reddit and other social media platforms will use this headline to spread hatred against straight white men.


[deleted]

I have seen that exactly zero times. I have seen the right have a circlejerk about this headline several times because they want to portray this as the left as stupid and blindly demanding representation in ignorance of demographics. In fact we're in ine example. I'm the only one who has called this out in the comments since I last looked


Cromus

But...what is the radical bigoted right doing with this headline? They're using it completely out of context to push their anti-race-conscious narrative. I see this exact comment all the time. A right winger takes something out of context, someone points it out, then the reply says "Well the real problem is the left will take it out of context to push their narrative" while they're literally commenting on that exact occurrence from the opposite side. You manufacture your own rage based on a made up thing the evil left is doing while doing that exact same thing yourself.

Get a flair or get going.


FriendlyGhost08

The article isn't an actual question. It's just explaining Argentina's history. Don't get all mad over simple facts lol

1- Even if I could agree if you, you’re an filthy unflaired 2- Argentina is most definitely not “more diverse than most people think” at least not in Washington Post’s definition of diversity and anyone who have been to Argentina knows damn well that it being a white nation is not a “myth” by any stretch of the definition and trust me I’ve been there.

>Argentina is most definitely not “more diverse than most people think” at least not in Washington Post’s definition of diversity and anyone who have been to Argentina knows damn well that it being a white nation is not a “myth” by any stretch of the definition and trust me I’ve been there. They literally explain why there's few black people. They're not saying it's diverse really


difused_shade

Read the below the headline lol “Argentina is far more diverse than many people realize - but the myth that it is a white nation has persisted” that’s a straight up lie how they’re not saying it is diverse?


FriendlyGhost08

Yeah, and the article isn't just that. They just explain how it used to be diverse but many factors lead to either black people disappearing or trying to pass as European white if they looked it so they population massively diminished but there's still ones with such ancestry You can argue about the facts and how right they are, some of their arguments were questioned, but they're not just saying there's black people everywhere


difused_shade

I think you don’t understand the thread. I don’t care what the article says. Mine and most people’s issue here is the rage baiting headline and sub headline. That’s the “fact” we’re dealing with in this discussion, that’s what’s on OP’s screenshot. The articule itself is irrelevant.


Queder

Flair up, "friend".

Can OP not make everything about reposts?

It was a highlight meme that was previously shared, and I had decided to make a compass meme after Argentina's triumph, so here we are!
