Yeah this is a clear case where the students are actually right about the person they're attacking.

here's the thing. it was a different time. we've grown as a society since then. we should be able to look back on the cultural contributions that people like him have made and separate that from whatever other distasteful aspects might have been associated with them. USC has a noted film school. we should see his statue there as symbolic of his contributions to film and nothing more.


Eh nah. You can just study the films during class if there is anything of value to get from them in terms of technical film stuff.

He literally said black people are inferior. Why would you want a statue of that out on campus where students might get the wrong impression?

What's the endgame for these people?

Probably to get people to stop celebrating racists. Horrible, I know.


So we're just supposed to ignore his contributions to cinema because he might have been racist?

What's wrong with simply saying he was a product of his time and while his views are reprehensible today, he's still an important person from the golden age of Hollywood?


I mean we aren't going to put up exhibits praising the Nazi scientists who experimented on people, even if America did obtain that information so it doesn't go to waste.

Btw the section with the Infected in the hotel basement while you're trying to find the key card was one of the best video game moments I've ever experienced. So tense.


Yeah that section was legitimately terrifying and claustrophobic. Idk how it is on regular difficulty, but on Hard difficulty and above you have to run away from multiple bloaters and a giant swarm of monsters, and if you don't already know where to take the key card to you basically are stumbling around running, panicked because all it takes to die is a couple of hits from regular zombies or one hit from a bloater.

this makes sense--efficiency reduces costs and drives up profit margins, so there's certainly plenty of motivation for companies to embrace it, esp when it's a one time update that has permanent impact.

it's produced an effect already seen in the energy sector. i could see that having ripple effects since growth of power production is a major driver of basic materials consumption.

consumer-goods side, while i will continue to buy shoes and physical books because i like them, we don't need to fill our homes with tools we'll almost never use because the growth of the gig economy (thanks to app development connecting us) makes it easy for us to find a cheap person to take care of those tasks. i don't know what other crap our parents generation were filling their homes with.

Again, capitalism being imperfect does not make communism better. Especially not when the weight of evidence and data is clearly on the side of markets over communism.

Every sustained socialist experiment has collapsed into more poverty, disease, and starvation than any part of America.

I'll go ahead and share this again since the weight of actual evidence was lost on you guys the first time.

"The available long-run evidence shows that in the past, only a small elite enjoyed living conditions that would not be described as extreme poverty today. But with the onset of industrialization and rising productivity, the share of people living in extreme poverty started to decrease. Accordingly, the share of people in extreme poverty has decreased continuously over the course of the last two centuries. This is surely one of the most remarkable achievements of humankind."

https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty

This rapid progress has occurred predominately in the last two decades, decidedly after the largest socialist experiments had collapsed.

My argument was that China is known to copy technology far more than they produce unique technology, and that supporting communism by pointing at accidental Soviet or Maoist technological contributions is no different than supporting Nazism in the same way.

You also completely ran away from my argument about how Marx advocated for a proletarian dictatorship that included violence and the threats of violence against anyone who dissented, regardless of how wealthy they were, and against anything that could be construed as a "class antagonism"

I'm not going to entertain your inaccurate and dishonest attempt to describe capitalism's deaths until you either concede the previous arguments you made or actually respond to my rebuttals.


Marx never intended for the Proletariat to oppress the Proletariat. And to discount China's continuing contributions to the modern world as mere copying is both laughable and dishonest.


Marx explicitly said that anyone who opposed the Proletarian revolution was to be suppressed with violence or threats of violence. He didn't sugar coat that. He also said that anything that was a "class antagonism" such as religion, or really any social norm, should be disposed of with violence and dictatorship as necessary.

And that definitely included people who were not the bourgeoisie but who opposed the movement anyway.

China is known to copy a lot more technology than they produce. Plenty of literature/evidence on the subject if you care to google. They are good copycats, but not good at developing original IP. Which is why they are known and have been caught to copy.

And again, no matter what kind of accidental good was salvaged from Hitler, Mao, Stalin, or etc, that doesn't mean those regimes are justified.

Interesting that this is a criticism you make against markets but not against communism, even though capitalism can be regulated but communism accepts no regulation since it'd be considered a "class antagonism" designed to reign in the proletariat.

Also, consider this global trend, comrade.

"The available long-run evidence shows that in the past, only a small elite enjoyed living conditions that would not be described as extreme poverty today. But with the onset of industrialization and rising productivity, the share of people living in extreme poverty started to decrease. Accordingly, the share of people in extreme poverty has decreased continuously over the course of the last two centuries. This is surely one of the most remarkable achievements of humankind."

https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty

Made a hell of a lot more progress under global markets than we did under any socialism.


The Soviet Union and China developed (and in China's case, continue to develop) many, many, many technological advances that have contributed to the modern world.


This is no different than trying to defend Nazi Germany by saying that Nazi scientists developed medical and technological advancements that have contributed to the modern world. Regardless of what accidental good was salvaged from their regimes, Mao, Stalin, Hitler etc, killed tens of millions of people and displaced hundreds of millions.

And the brunt of modern technological advancements have come from America and Europe. China today at its best is still a copycat.

That idea was first created by Deng Xiaopeng and he was in fact one of China's revered leaders that actually emphasized purposeful reform both in market and society unlike Mao whose ideas backfired on him so much that most hated him in the end.


That's a really cool fucking story brother, but I don't care! It's deprecated because China clearly doesn't care about it anymore. Hong Kong wouldn't be asking for independence anyway. Let them have it. No reason why they can't be an independent nation. They weren't even part of China not that long ago.


To give you a brief history between the two: it used to be back in the day that China needed Hong Kong more than Hong Kong needed China, but now it is more like the opposite. BUT for Hong Kong to ask(or in this case, demand) for independence they are not going to be as successful as Singapore with Malaysia. No, it is not just that China will strong arm Hong Kong into being another Chinese city, it is that Hong Kong still really rely on the resources, mostly water and electricity, that come from the Mainland as well as military because Hong Kong doesn't have its own military. Plus they are situated on a very powerful strategic trading spot for the sake of their economy.


Nah Hong Kong would be totally fine on its own. That's why millions of people have been protesting there for independence. They have an extremely strong economy and will be more than capable of being self sufficient. Especially when trading with other nations.

China is descending into an Orwellian nightmare. Literally organ harvesting going on right now.


I say a lot more but in short I don't think that Hong Kong has the power to become its own city state.


It literally does and there are millions of people who represent the majority position who want it to be so. So let them do it. Why are you backing the mainland out of fake concern for Hong Kong's well-being, when the mainland is literally harvesting organs out of healthy people?
