       [quote]The reality unfortunately is alot less awesome though.
       The truth is that a chemical company was just left unchecked,
       thus was able to very freely spread a questionable herbicide far
       and wide, predictably resulting in ecological side effects. The
       frog hormone imbalance thing actually does not seem like that
       big of a deal at all when compared to alot of the other actually
       nasty stuff this herbicide is alleged to do. To put this all in
       simple terms, this is caused by, well, capitalism... —

       To put it in simple terms from a True Left perspective, this is
       not caused by "capitalism", it is caused by Western
       Civilization, because capitalism predates western civilization
       and the poisoning of this planet and life on a mass scale does
       not predate western civilization. Therefore, western
       civilization is the root cause of this problem, not the economic
       system it happens to employ. (This is not an endorsement of
       capitalism).

       "capitalism predates western civilization"
       Capitalism is generally considered to date back to the
       Renaissance:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism#History
       [quote]Capitalism, in its modern form, can be traced to the
       emergence of agrarian capitalism and mercantilism in the early
       Renaissance, in city-states like Florence.[32]
       ...
       The economic foundations of the feudal agricultural system began
       to shift substantially in 16th-century England as the manorial
       system had broken down and land began to become concentrated in
       the hands of fewer landlords with increasingly large estates.
       Instead of a serf-based system of labor, workers were
       increasingly employed as part of a broader and expanding
       money-based economy. The system put pressure on both landlords
       and tenants to increase the productivity of agriculture to make
       profit; the weakened coercive power of the aristocracy to
       extract peasant surpluses encouraged them to try better methods,
       and the tenants also had incentive to improve their methods in
       order to flourish in a competitive labor market. Terms of rent
       for land were becoming subject to economic market forces rather
       than to the previous stagnant system of custom and feudal
       obligation.[35][36]
       ...
       The economic doctrine prevailing from the 16th to the 18th
       centuries is commonly called mercantilism.[37][38] This period,
       the Age of Discovery, was associated with the geographic
       exploration of foreign lands by merchant traders, especially
       from England and the Low Countries. Mercantilism was a system of
       trade for profit, although commodities were still largely
       produced by non-capitalist methods.[39] Most scholars consider
       the era of merchant capitalism and mercantilism as the origin of
       modern capitalism,[38][40] although Karl Polanyi argued that the
       hallmark of capitalism is the establishment of generalized
       markets for what he called the "fictitious commodities", i.e.
       land, labor and money. Accordingly, he argued that "not until
       1834 was a competitive labor market established in England,
       hence industrial capitalism as a social system cannot be said to
       have existed before that date".[41]
       England began a large-scale and integrative approach to
       mercantilism during the Elizabethan Era (1558–1603).
       [/quote]
       I do agree, though, that what caused this is not capitalism, but
       (the even more uniquely Western) organic chemistry:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbicide#History
       [quote]The first modern herbicide, 2,4-D, was first discovered
       and synthesized by W. G. Templeman at Imperial Chemical
       Industries.
       ...
       Independently, a team under Juda Hirsch Quastel, working at the
       Rothamsted Experimental Station made the same discovery.[/quote]

       But because Western science is literally worshipped by
       progressives/False Leftists, they prefer to attack capitalism
       instead.

       "Capitalism is generally considered to date back to the
       Renaissance:"
       Some people often say ancient Rome and Greece were "fully
       functioning capitalist societies", I realize after you brought
       it up why it is better to attach capitalism to the Renaissance
       though.

       Jones is less annoying than Kulinski in this one video if taken
       in isolation. Kulinski's materialist smugness here is an
       excellent example of why I despise False Leftists, whereas
       Jones' only objectionable rhetoric here is his MAP-phobia.
       What leftism needs is not Kulinski, but a leftist version of
       Jones. Those whom we need to stop are not corporations (and
       definitely not MAPs), but Western machinists.

       I agree. But what's funny is that Jones now sounds like one of
       those Megachurch preachers he used to rail against in the 00s.

       I agree. It is also worth pointing out that Jones himself is not
       anti machinist (as I have elsewhere).

       I noticed that most of the False Left anti Israel crowd doesn't
       bring up the 9/11 false flag or the "Holocaust". Probably
       because they separate Jewish identity from Israel.
       But equally annoying is the fact that most of the people who do
       bring it up are rightists (which doesn't even make sense: many
       of them gradually began accepting that Muslims are the bad guys
       anyway).

       I was as also critical of Kirk for his subservience to Israel,
       however during the final weeks to the end of his life he
       criticised the Jews and linked Epstein to Israeli government
       blackmailing operation.
       Despite Kirk's criticism being mostly wrongheaded, failing to
       see "cultural Marxism" as a mere tool of provocation to Zionism,
       perhaps he was the sort of person to wake up to the bigger
       picture of the Zionist dialectic.
       Kirk was also regularly providing a speaking platform to
       anti-Zionists, to whom he would lose in ethical debate, despite
       video titles such as "Charlie Kirk destroys leftist veteran on
       9/11".
       As for ZOG planting a German Mauser bolt-action in the woods and
       transgender-ideology-engraved ammunition, even a child can point
       out that they went too far. The Mauser is 1.25 metres long and
       doesn't disassemble without removing foot long screws, and even
       then it would not fit in the 2 foot carry case seen in the roof
       dismount footage.
       They're saying the shooter, Tyler Robinson, is Antifa. Needless
       to say, I don't buy it. Even the decoy "Zinn" was a Jew.
       Meanwhile Netanyahu is doing a media tour rambling about how
       Israel had nothing to do with it.

       The best thing to do right now is to wait to see if Robinson
       mysteriously dies before trial. If he does, it would fit the
       usual modus operandi. If he does not, on the other hand, we can
       listen to what Robinson himself has to say about what he was
       doing and why. I caution against jumping to conclusions at this
       early stage, especially since False Leftists seem to be as
       hellbent on dissociating* the left from the shooting as
       rightists are eager to pin it on the left, both sides
       exaggerating whatever appears to reinforce their interpretation
       and ignoring whatever does not fit it.)
       (* Until the left inclines towards taking credit for such
       actions, there is no hope for leftist victory.)
       Finally, I would like to note:

       [quote]Jackson Hinkle, a 25-year-old known for amplifying
       pro-Putin propaganda, wrote in an incendiary post on Wednesday
       that Kirk “used to be an Israel loyalist … He feared ‘Israel
       would kill him’ … He started *mildly* criticizing
       Israel.”[/quote]
