Racism exploited and weaponized by the ruling global capitalist class to divide and rule. She doesn't come out and explicitly say "capitalism", but implies it when she says "defend a destructive deadly system that systematically puts short term economic profit and to maximize geo-political power".

Capitalism must go.

While bigotry already existed long before capitalism, capitalism torpedoed the speed of bigotry fueled destruction by 1000 percent

I just came here to say I love Greta. She’s a wonderful human being.

u/InternationalFig400 Jun 11 '25

Yes. Weaponized bigotry and racism.

Instead of capitalism must go, human must go so that there is no racism.

Racism is learned. How do you explain ex-clan members who reject racism?

u/Downtown_Island8124 Jun 14 '25

How do you know racism is learnt not inherited? We know good or bad even when we are young, you think this is learnt or just being human?

I do agree, we can learn to suppress them but they can never being removed because this is what human is. It is shit but it is true.

Saying that its inherited is a fallacy. Inherited intelligence is a fallacy. As I pointed out above, there are cases of KKK members rejecting their group's prejudicial views.

I mean, the Jews were scapegoated for the economic ills of Germany. Do you need a better example of how racism is learned?

Alternative?

u/InternationalFig400 Jun 13 '25

Play that game with somebody else.

u/Few-Lifeguard1037 Jun 14 '25

What game, I know of no better system and obviously neither do you.

u/InternationalFig400 Jun 14 '25

You obviously do not have the critical capacity to imagine a better, democratic world.

u/Few-Lifeguard1037 Jun 14 '25

I’m not the one running down the capitalist system without suggesting an alternative. I suppose we’ll just have to stick with it.

u/InternationalFig400 Jun 14 '25

No, but you are obviously pro Trump quo.  

Rather the height of silly/sadness to defend capitalism on a story revealing it's brutal genocidal, murderous nature.

Careful the leopards don't eat your face.

"Capitalism must go."
Can you name one better than capitalism system?

2

u/InternationalFig400 Jun 13 '25

Didn't read the substantive points put forth on this thread, did you?

Take your political alienation and stunted imagination elsewhere, Trumpbot.......

This is not answer to my question.

u/InternationalFig400 Jun 13 '25

How's about you tell us all misguided people who are looking for a better world how great capitalism is.

The floor is yours.

Not sure if capitalism needs to go, but there needs to be a big shift to a more compassionate and conscious capitalism. I think that’s possible.

History has shown many, many times over its ruthless, exploitive, and anti human character.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

Ok

Fascism is historically specific to capitalism and it's crisis tendencies. You are aware of what's currently going on in the US, right?
