Some weird, German communist, hello. Obsessed with philosophy (German Idealism and its subsequent evolutions) and history (mainly everything since the French Revolution), as well as the Fediverse. Secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program, but not that good.

  • I mean - kind of? I do agree a lot of “reaction” content is bottom-of-the barrel shit, but it’s not like this one is just making funny faces and going “woaaah, nonono, they didn’t!!” or something. He does use the video as a jumping off point for his own commentary, providing his own perspectives (those segments are also edited with cuts, showing this wasn’t just turning their webcam on and rambling without any evaluation later). Just roughly looking through the preview thumbnails hovering over the video progress bar, easily more than 50% is talking about topics in the reacted video without even the reacted-to footage on screen.








  • Hab das mal sehr grob überflogen, die interessanten/relevanten Anteile beginnen ab Seite 35. In der Tat ein eher oberflächliches Verständnis von Marx u. Engels in der Begründung, wie im Artikel erwähnt wurden anscheinend “www.staatslexikon-online” [sic] und das Kommunistische Manifest herangezogen, um das relevante - die grundlegende Unvereinbarkeit von Marx und GG - zu begründen.

    Andere Sachen beim Überfliegen, wie in wie Weit sich nicht ausreichend von alten Publikationen distanziert wurde, kann ich nicht beurteilen.

    Aber das Verständnis von Marx und Engels Werken, wie hier formuliert, ist meines Erachtens tatsächlich so oberflächlich, dass es an sich nicht zu einer blanko-Einstufung der Verfassunsfeindlichkeit taugen sollte. Gerade der späte Marx und Engels haben da durchaus differenziertere Beiträge geleistet. Es wirkt auf mich so, wie die Denker und Prinzipien der Französischen Revolution als grundlegend und gänzlich unvereinbar einzustufen, mit Bezug auf einzelne von Aussagen von Robespierre und die Terrorherrschaft während der Revolution.







  • I may be misremembering, so take this as potential bullshit, but I seem to recall there was a study (or just a survey?) that seemed to indicate, that onlineness for men generally correlated with less mysogyny than the overall population - with the exception of those explicitly in the “manosphere” bubble, who then spike on the far end of the spectrum.

    Thinking back of how I remember groups of boys and men (which I was a part of) talking with each other offline before widespread internet access (or even now), that kind of made sense to me. I remember being often rather alone with my opinions and being told stuff like: “Just accept that sexism is funny.” Especially thinking back to pre-internet teenage me, I had a lot of weird assumptions internalized that online exchanges, seeing actual, unfiltered opinions of women mostly, helped correct.
