    It is American exceptionalism to disregard the fascist suppression of the proletariat on the basis of having your own very special holiday. Also because of the blatant disregard for the international labour movement.

    I am not, but if I were I would probably point out that the capitalist class have co-opted this as well and replaced the material contents of the, ehrm, “holiday,” as you call it.

    To take advantage of large numbers of potential customers with time to shop, Labor Day has become an important weekend for discounts and allowances by many retailers in the United States, especially for back-to-school sales. Some retailers claim it is one of the largest sale dates of the year, second only to the Christmas season’s Black Friday.[40]

    Well, but what do I know? Maybe the international May day is flawed and that actually American exceptionalism will reshape the mode of production by going on a shopping spree on their “holiday”.

    EDIT: I realize that you might be confused about me calling May day for Labour day, which is solely a direct translation from what we call May day here. I still stand by everything of the above though.

    I am complaining that

    It was in this environment that Loyalty Day (originally called “Americanization Day”) was created in 1921 as an explicit replacement for International Workers’ Day.[6][5]

    I have no clue what you are rambling on about.

    To be honest I have been struggling to understand the relationship between the PRC and DPRK. I know geopolitics is difficult and that there has been a lot of mutual aid and cooperation between the two states, but I find it hard to explain stuff like this (from Wikipedia):

    China condemned the 2006 North Korean nuclear test, as well as the subsequent nuclear tests in 2009, 2013, January 2016, September 2016 and 2017. China abstained during a 2017 United Nations Security Council vote about sanctions on North Korea, leading it to be approved.

    I think it is well understood that the petite bourgeoisie are on the side of capital, not because they are capitalists, but because they are confused with respect to their own class identity. Incidentally, this is why we say eat the rich and exterminate billionaires: to avoid further confusion.

    Do you disagree on my remark that Trump is a pedofile rapist or only that about the slave owners that also happened to be founding fathers for a genocidal empire?

    There exists ample evidence of how widespread rape is today and throughout history. I do not see why you give slave owners the benefit of doubt in this regard, seeing as they had a blatant and fundamental disregard for their fellow human beings, in their eyes property.

    baseless hyperbole

    an absolutely incredible claim requiring incredible proof

    I do not think it is much of a stretch to think that there were a fuckton of rapists in times past, judging by the fuckton of rapists in contemporary time. To be honest, I think it is awful of you to assume that men in positions of power do not rape, when we have so much evidence that they do (and please do not talk to me about “not all men rape”, because that is not what we are talking about, we are talking about systemic issues).

    Boys at 16 years old rape sleeping girls, because they can. Film directors and businessmen (unsuccessful ones as Trump as well) rape women and children, because they can. Slave owners raped their slaves, because they could. This is a question of power dynamics.

    Bring receipts!

    No.
