I wasn’t aware of the controversy, but I’m not surprised it’s yet another mess caused by the existence of the British empire.

If they’re Brazilian, we have a few comrades doing really great comms on youtube: Jones Manoel, Ian Neves, João Carvalho, Humberto Matos, to name a few.

This is a 2h30 long lecture for web on the topic. With almos 600k views.

https://youtu.be/JwDDPwGT7UQ?t=3m33s Or this, in 20 minutes, hot from today.

Theres also the podcast xadrez verbal. Two historians discussing international politics weekly, adding a lot of historical context to current event. Not revolutionary, but it brought me much closer to the lemmygrad line. Their coverage after Oct 7 was almost 8 hours long. https://youtu.be/gDaChPREsd8?t=13m54s

Uhm. Maybe they don’t need that much, but if conversation open up, there’s a few sources there. All of them really great at explaining the historical context around everything.

We also have c/Brazil, here… For later. Best of luck!

That’s how I know it’s not satire. Nothing in his argument is tied into anything.

When I left reddit for lemmy I noticed that any instance blocking lemmygrad would become a shitshow very quick.

I regret nothing.

They never report casualties. Unless someone leaks irrefutable evidence. And even then. Not always.

My read is that:

  • dialectical relates to the tension between opposites. Pick “anything”, there’s something else in conflict with it, causing it to be, or not to be. This contrasts with a frictionless immutable analysis, where there’s no interaction between the “anything” you’re analysing and it’s surrounding context.

  • historical means that this analysis is applied to historical aspects of society.

  • materialism means that any support on the analysis must be originate in material reality, with as much context as possible. In contrast with idealism, which is kind of moral judgement on what things look like, or should be.

Am I too far off?
