Let's do this people. I've been waiting to fly a flag and put stickers on my computer and yes an emoji! How can we make that happen?

Would be awesome if it eventually was added as an emoji flag 🙂

I would add, that to be in a minority group does NOT mean you are forced to align with malignant narcissist nor do you need to embrace an entire, materialistic and destructive world-view that has caused more death than any religion.

It IS possible, to be a struggling minority and still hold to those values I mentioned. Are you a socialist first, or are you struggling and therefore aligned with socialism as an alliance to your pain and suffering?

Im in no way assuming, just truly asking!

Help me to understand your views of Karl Marx then please?

There will ALWAYS be exceptions to the rule and minority groups, what Marx requires tho7gh, is that the majority bendntheir knee to the minority and to the exceptions. To force the majority to CHANGE their world view, rather than fornthe minority ro incorporate the inner human values of stoicism and grit to endure regardless of what others think.

This belief of mine still has space for minorities,but does yours have space for mine?

Mine does.

Mine has the law, which all must follow, especially the makers and enforcers of the law. The law is focused on balance of harms, specifically whether it causes more harm to allow the behavior than it causes to enforce a ban on said behavior. For instance, nobody doubts that the drugs that are illegal cause harm, but it's a matter of whether stopping and punishing people who could be using them causes more overall harm to society than just making it an issue for public health policy.

There can be no law which punishes a person for belief under my system.

And finally there are societal standards and communities, but we do not recognize all communities as "equal" socially -- equal under the law, yes, and the law cannot discriminate one person from another by anything but the actions of the individual -- but not considered equally praiseworthy, equally capable, equally tempered or equally worth emulating.

I like your thoughts behind it. However I realize even hearing the word flag is kinda triggering to me. Kinda crazy how this messes with you so much.

So true... The word flag, rainbows, toy sharks, the colours pink and blue... all are triggers for me now, incl other things...

I saw a Seinfeld “behind the scenes” interview on dvd where Jerry is wearing a pink/blue/white polo shirt years before trans anything. So jarring to me. It was just a regular shirt but now the colors and pattern are “triggering”. Also my grandson came over with a button toy I. Rainbow colors and it made me flinch. He’s a 2year old. He should be playing with a rainbow, but this insidious ideology is in my brain.

I believe Marx built his anti humanist philosophy on the beliefs of Rosseau and Kant, the fathers of the religion of leftism and dialectical materialism and the human role to turn reality into some utopian idealised state. All forms of victimhood under the so-called "oppressor" is a weapon used against the "patriarchy" to bring about revolution and is the antithesis to the thesis.

Marx was a lazy, fat, womaniser who refused to work and blamed everyone else for his problems. Anyone who looks to him as a hero... anyone who thinks there problems are because of someone else amd refuses to take responsibility... is a "victim" and can be used to bring about revolution.

The trans movement is exactly this.

Perhaps you and I are talking about a different Karl Marx and so I would pose the same question to you as I did before. Your ignorance and acceptance of someone else's diatribe against him are quite shocking, though perhaps not surprising.

I am not an apologist for Marx, who was certainly an imperfect man and husband, but I have found many of his ideas to be of importance in helping me understand the current situation we find ourselves in re: the gender cult ideology and the oppression of women.

I would fight to the death to protect children from the harms of "trans", but your ideas and beliefs about the family and "normal" and all the other things you state as "good and pure", would exclude me and my kind - lesbian, feminist, socialist, psychotherapist. How interesting ... and sad.

Marx needs to be fully discredited. He intended his foundational work to be a trilogy but only managed to publish the first part before being completely embarrassed by the other major economists of the time.

The very first premise of Marx's economic theory is that the value of a thing is derived from the labor put into making the thing, thus a boot making machine is effectively stealing from the cobbler who makes boots by hand. But that premise was already proven completely wrong by Jean-Baptise Say, who had already demonstrated that the value of a thing has no derivation from the work put into it, only what someone else is willing to sacrifice to obtain it.

The only thing that Marx innovated on that has really any degree of legitimacy is the idea of representing history as an economic struggle rather than merely a series of events -- but even with that he had a lot of his history wrong.

In the end none of the principles purported to Marx were actually upheld by him. The only thing he actually wanted and believed in was the overturning of society, which his work accomplished in many locations, leading to the deaths of hundreds of millions.

I am curious as to why you have decided to single out marxism and what writings of Marx contributed to your decision?

Corran Fleming's avatar

Cultural Marxism.

Marx aimed to stir up revolution by pitting "oppressed" versus "oppressor." He used economic status as the differentiating factor, but ultimately identified anything and everything that preserved societal stability as obstacles to the revolution -- family and religion in particular. By painting these as tools of the oppressor it opened the door for later revolutionaries to use "marginalized identities" as the new "oppressed" and everyone else as the "oppressor."

Also, we need a pro-nuclear family flag as families are being attacked and international powers are trying to erase the family!

(Marxism among other ideologies)

Bravo. I have also been noting that we need symbols.
