Islam would have suffer terribly a huge amount of revolts.

Saudi Arabia being a prime example

Not just terrorism. Their culture is practically quite contrary to the used lives of people under secular/reformed Christianity.

so has this system lmao but if muslims invented the maxim gun first it would not have hattered

mattered*

Our culture is different too. We had guns fam

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply

You stated that if Islam was hegemonic, terrorism would occur against it

global hegemony is like batman. when batman shows up, the villains all come out to challenge him

I believe he hypothetical placed that if Islam was majority of the world's belief

There would be terrorism against it.

Ok

when something dominates the world system, then resistance seeps from all sectors

yes yes hypothetical

It would be natural to have such anti-thesis because it still has conflicting elements left unresolved.

Does this not occur on a smaller scale

Dialectically.

It does but suppose the world becomes subjugated under Islam.

No

I need contemporary empirics

absolutely, but muslims can still blame a larger power

Up to nagarjuna

If it cannot occur non-globally, I would say that is a serious point to discuss

9/11 was great for the US because then the US gets to claim its a victim, which is rich for the most powerful country ever

I am aware of the existence of the petrodollar

Please save me

And answer my question

we have hegemony of the commodity form, everyone is forced to participate in what is functionally one economy

Rip

so this is like a gift which is given to us, a gift we don't want but we are powerless because we cannot refuse it (seemingly)

All baudrillard really says then is that it's about turning power against itself, and also that systems get more fragile as they get more perfect

so "the system" is definitely vulnerable. it's just we play into its hands perhaps by emphasizing all these different good guy/ bad guy schemes

Is this some sort of deterministic oriented philosophy?

I get the feeling that the distinctions regardless, main point being we're all in one coin.

Isn't all materialist philosophy inherently determisnistic

regardless of ideology to pick

Tru

How do I word this uhhhhh

it's more fatalist than deterministic but its like the same

^ yeh what I was trying to say

It reeks a bit of nihilism
