Last time and after that I'm ending this discussion since it goes nowhere:
Violence is usually associated with a negative behavior. Yet, people uses violence in legitimized ways all the time. For example, some use violence to fight oppression and it's is the right thing to do because it is the ETHICAL thing to do.
It's the same with labelling. Labels are usually a bad thing, because they tend to essentialize a person to their actions. But it becomes the ETHICAL and thus RIGHT thing to do when this labelling is used to fight oppression. Simply because it's one of the most efficient ways to protect people, bring awareness, defend ourselves and attack oppressors.
The world is complex mate. If you look at it through a moral lens, you are not gonna understand it. Look at it under an ethical lens. By that I mean that you need to understand the context of action before you judge them.
Now, either you start to listen or we move on.

Reborn I would like to if you want to talk about what topics we choose together and figure out things about politics together, like for example, what is fascism

And about human nature this is a quote I think is good:
"
Our space is limited, but submit to the same analysis any of the aspects of our social life, and
you will see that the present capitalist, authoritarian system is absolutely inappropriate to a so-
ciety of men so improvident, so rapacious, so egotistic, and so slavish as they are now. Therefore,
when we hear men saying that the Anarchists imagine men much better than they really are,
we merely wonder how intelligent people can repeat that nonsense. Do we not say continually
that the only means of rendering men less rapacious and egotistic, less ambitious and less slav-
ish at the same time, is to eliminate those conditions which favour the growth of egotism and
rapacity, of slavishness and ambition? The only difference between us and those who make the
above objection is this: We do not, like them, exaggerate the inferior instincts of the masses, and
do not complacently shut our eyes to the same bad instincts in the upper classes. We maintain
that both rulers and ruled are spoiled by authority; both exploiters and exploited are spoiled by
exploitation; while our opponents seem to admit that there is a kind of salt of the earth – the
rulers, the employers, the leaders – who, happily enough, prevent those bad men – the ruled, the
exploited, the led – from becoming still worse than they are.
There is the difference, and a very important one. We admit the imperfections of human nature,
but we make no exception for the rulers. They make it, although sometimes unconsciously, and
because we make no such exception, they say that we are dreamers, ‘unpractical men’.
An old quarrel, that quarrel between the ‘practical men’ and the ‘unpractical’, the so-called
Utopists: a quarrel renewed at each proposed change, and always terminating by the total defeat
of those who name themselves practical people"

Thanks for sharing. I have the channel on standbye for when I have a bit of motivation to watch his work.
While I agree with the general. I don't agree with the usage of the word instinct. Instinct implies a fundamental immuable nature. But our behaviors under toxic systems are not instinct, simply conditionned habits.
While it is true that we all have a part of egoism in us, it's only on the surface level, the rest is a construct. As such, no bad men exist, simply bad behaviors.
That's said, I agree with the statement. And we can observe the last part in this threat. And this is quite ironic in fact.
Because of my rethoric, I've been called - at the same time - a destroyer and an utopist dreamer.

I don't speak in behalf of other countries, but my country is a shit hole cause we don't have true economic freedom. We are ruled by vile socialists and communists, that bleed us dry with taxes and ruin the economy. Our currency lost about 30% of it's value this past few months due to government printing money and doing other irresponsible shit.

A skill value is scaled according to demand and offer. Factory workers literally do the easiest jobs(skill wise) and there is plenty of hands available to do those jobs, therefore the pay is lower. Also, demand for such jobs is on decline due to technological and geopolitical reasons world wide. The value is produce by the machines, raw materials, infrastructure and business model. Factory workers are literally expendable. You can fire one and hire another all day long. Pushing a button is literally the most simple action in the whole production process. Workers are literally the weakest link in the chain, i hope you understand it now.

Not factory workers specifically, but, workers makw the factory run, workers make sure the electricity works, workers make and program the machines and make sure they work, workers invest the profits the company wants invested unless the capitalist steps in, workers give financial advice to the company, workers analyse the finances, workers distribute the product, workers pack the product, workers design the product, workers sell or make the sales campaign for the product,

Billions of taxpayer dollars invested in for-profit facilities from Africa to Asia were supposed to improve access to healthcare. But stories of abuses have piled up.

Miracle was struggling to breathe.
The 1-year-old was with her pregnant mother at a maternity clinic when the convulsing started. A midwife tried giving her oxygen, but Miracle clearly needed emergency treatment. So they rushed her to the nearest hospital, a five-minute drive away.
Perched on a hill, behind fences topped with barbed wire, C-Care IHK in Kampala, Uganda, looks like a fortress. Miracle’s mother shuddered as she passed through the gates that September day and saw the landscaped garden and a billboard advertising plastic surgery. “When they see me, they know I don’t have money,” said Hasifa Mwamini, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo. “The hospital is for high-class people.”

Cease fire on Gaza and TikTok "ban" both on January 19th aka 24 hours before Trump inauguration must be the best cynical jokes I read this week.
Biden our lord and savior, we'll remember you as the the greatest leader of the west since Churchill
If he doesn't undo everything by snapping his fingers. Then I'll cut off my cock and eat it like that one Greyjoy in that famous tv series.
