It is not a material condition
@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 what material conditions, these that don't exist from my relative perspective or the material conditions that encompass everything from another's perspective? :3
If we treated everyone as equals regardless of our thoughts of their group identity that wouldn't matter
Racism isnt capitalist its ignorance
So ownimg capital vs not owning capital is not a discrete division?
@Grugochet no one is equal and it is unethical to treat everyone equally
Oh no, people having things is bad
What is inbetween those two positions?
@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 how can it be when it's relative?
That's true but you should treat everyone as 8ndividuals
Their group membership doesn't determine their value
Their actions do
Lotus is owning capital vs not owning capital a discrete division?
@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 having capital is a spectrum there could be 3 classes or 3000, both are equally valid :3
Racism is bad
Like the atom there is the antithesis (electron) and thesis (proton) they create the synthesis (the atom.) in capitalism there are two classes the bourgeoisie who are the thesis and the proleteriat the Anthesis and they synthesize a new society. Smh
now listen up idiots, people of all races have an innate, instinctual preference for people who speak, look, and act like them, and will adjust their behavior accordingly and behave more warily around people of outside groups - to deny this is to deny the validity of ingroups and outgroups writ large, and in a way also denies the existence of the family as a natural biological and social structure. A tribe, or in more modern terms an ethnic group/race (which is an even broader category) can be thought of as extended family
Generalizing this hard
what of the people who make their own capital
what of those that neither make capital nor own production
what of those that do not exist in the system
etc
this can only result in conflict
People deserve to be treated as individuals
No matter what
You cannot be seperate from a global system that controls everything unless you are a feudalistic society or a socialist one.
@Grugochet I agree, but we have to do what's best for all of us
@Grugochet listen, people belong to groups whether you deny it or not
Whars best for all of us isnt to assume to worst of people
Making youre own capital only means you are becomkmg bourgeoisie and does not create a new class
They do belong to groups but the groups dont define them
Many of the qualities of groups are arbitrary as karde has said
and group membership, whether voluntary (party affiliation for example) or involuntary (sex, ethnicity for example) is a great determining factor in how they treat others and how others treat them and how they are thought of on a subconscious level
this is what makes society work - you don't treat everyone the same and make women fight the wars alongside the men
No it's not you're just using this to excuse your pejudice
No material conditions that drive ethnic differences
"I'm not actually racist I'm using pseudoscience xd"
Is what determines how people treat eachother
it depends on what your definition of racist is, but odds are I probably am according to you
I ask you
