Until you find an all-inclusive religion, that is not intolerant of other religions, religion will always be something that divides humans, and does not unite them.

Humanism, should be what humanity goes towards, not backwards into old religions steeped in ignorance and obsolescence.

I prefer the term 'personism' because not all persons are human and not all humans are persons.

Not everyone, just the psychopaths and the ideologically deranged who feel they have the right to dominate others. I'll defend to the death your right to disagree with me but when you start trying to physically force people into submission then you're no longer a person, you're more like a rabid dog and you can then be dealt with in the same way we deal with all rabid animals.

I denounce this savage insult to rabid dogs. They are victims of the disease and have no control of what they do.

In contrast, Member skinster's choice to be an apologist for dictatoral human-rights perpetrators' around the world is totally voluntary.

In the USA and Canada, xenophobia is state-sanctioned.

The commercial media - which is connected to the entire oligarch class - uses its bully pulpit and the craven stupidity of its viewers to get them to "hate" specific countries at strategic moments.

You always have to be ready to hate someone when you consume commercial media here. The "bad buys" are an important concept for our mafias in the financial and military sectors.

Sometimes I find you so ultra-cynical and so anti-social that you deserve whatever shit is thrown at you.

Well it's true that Patrickov does cry about China in every thread. I'm not sure how that's a cuss, it's a fact.

Watching TV and movies is NOT social. It is a way of being anti-social that exposes you to commercial-provoked trends, instead of the ideas of other humans in your social group.

And it's not cynical to question the motivations of commercially-owned institutions. It's fatally naive NOT to do so.

Just look at "the shit" that our commercial masters throw at us and everyone else in the world. Do you really want these people "managing the message?" Do you really admire Totalitarian control of social narratives?

What type of countries they are? They are of the awesome type, even if flawed in their own ways like any human construct

This is as good an opinion as any.

Perhaps many nations of the Earth are reading this thread , and perhaps some of them are pondering the advantages of genociding all their own local cultures and replacing them with European working class miners and mill workers, along with European mafia leaders to "guide" them.

Paul Edwards tries to capture the current pre-revolutionary zeitgest in the USA and a few other formerly rich Western nations:

The Imperial State, borrowing from itself, and peddling cheapened money to financially captive foreign governments to fund its militarist follies and further enrich its billionaire owners, having raped its own country’s natural resources, fouled the whole world’s air, land, and oceans, murdered many millions of the guiltless poor and helpless, and stolen its citizens birthright and future, teeters perilously at the brink of implosion and meltdown.

The problems he describes here are the result of centuries of oligarchy and colonialism... that finally is running out of gas.

[wat0n]

Pre-revolutionary? If so, I guess the '60s were, then, the revolution itself

In what nation is this not true?

Most of the world's colonial powers have a similarly race-baiting media tradition.

But the USA is currently on top of the media pyramid, and its media is the one that "decides" which races thrive and which are bombed to the stone age.

So you can't compare.

Also, most nations are "officially" anti-racist. Which means that they are tranparently hypcritical for cooperating with the USA (for money). Nations whose leaders do "whatever they're asked" for money typically are the first to be destroyed during a war. "Brainless assets" of the Super-Murderer.

And by the way, you have provided zero examples of recent state-sanctioned xenophobia from other nations. So your point hasn't been in any way backed up.

If I did, I'm sure you wouldn't care or dismiss with more babbling.

You always have to be ready to hate someone when you consume commercial media here. The "bad guys" are an important concept for our mafias in the financial and military sectors.

That's not really the problem. Fuck Russia and China and all the rest of them. Those countries are all depraved psychopath run shitholes that deserve to be decimated. The problem is the US is not the good guy, it's just another psychopath run shithole that also deserves to be decimated. The problem is Americans have been deluded into thinking their country is a benevolent force for good in the world and that its pedatory wars of aggression are humanitarian peace keeping operations.

You people need to learn to walk and chew gum, just because the US is a bad guy doesn't mean the countries it attacks are the good guys.

As I said, commercial media has the capacity (that it uses) to generate hatred against target nations.

Likewise, and this affects you yourself and you, the commercial media can direct public hatred against anyone who disagrees with its fabricated fear campaigns, like the current mega-campaign to get people to submit to rushed vaccines based on propaganda.

The same media that got Americans to hate First Nations, Africans, Latinos, Communists, Muslims, etc. can also generate social hatred against people who don't agree with mandatory (poison) vaccinations. Many otherwise normal people have come to the conclusion that "anti-vaxxers" "are depraved psycopaths who deserve to be decimated" as well.
