I want to start a discussion on extremism, both left and right and others. What draws people to extremism? What makes someone want to become a Nazi, commie, suicide bomber, etc? Social disenfranchisement? Economic disenfranchisement? Extreme tribalism or nationalism? I have my own opinions but I'd like to hear others thoughts

Personal issues, anti-social tendencies, inferiority complex, sexual repression, being easily convinced, struggle to belong somewhere, etc.

It's a big psychological question that requires careful examination.

I was a liberal until I couldn't get a word in edgewise at school without someone bringing up how I have "original sin" for being white. Basically, anything I say is meaningless because I'm white and inherently racist. This, and the people that openly supported this blatantly racist and authoritarian approach to debate, drew me away from liberalism and almost into extremist camps. What keeps me from it is that two wrongs do not make a right. However, hypothetically speaking, if the wrong that is against me were to start to get even more radical, I would have no other choice but to become radical myself. When you see people posting "die Whitey" on Twitter with regularity, it makes you, even if for a split second, start to think you have to become just as radical to oppose this thinking.

That is where radicalism comes from, and social media makes it worse because you can easily confirm this view. You see it and say "the other radicals want me dead, guess I need to become radical to oppose this for my life." It is obviously not the correct view right now, but I can see how others may follow that view.

Only 5% of the black slaves transported across the Atlantic actually went to the modern United States. Most in fact went to Latin America to serve Hispanic slave owners. But we don't look at modern Hispanics as evil slave owners.

It's only the United States and Canada that get the blame because they happen to be white.

That's because slavery in Latin America evolved to be different than in Anglo America. Slaves were paid and allowed to buy there own freedom, it was considered inhumane to separate slave families, and slaves were allowed to sue their masters for mistreatment.
>>
Maybe it's because America continued to practice slavery until 1865?

Mildly interested? Well I'll keep it short (currently getting my MA in African History so I can ramble). Essentially Zimbabwe actually used to be arguably the most agriculturally and technologically advanced African nation prior to colonization - known to it's neighbors as Menth'ol (a Dat'Ass word for "generous"). Most interestingly they practiced a decentralized government wherein every local man was elevated to king prior to their invasion from bongobongoland.

I hope that helps.

No that's Zionist propaganda. He only executed CIA spies and traitors to the Cambodian people. He was a patriot and a freedom fighter for Cambodia. Israel Shamir has done an excellent job of revisiting Pol Pot and learning the real truth about the so called "Cambodia" genocide. Pol Pot probably executed around 2,000 CIA spies and probably around 10,000 traitors as well.

Ask me anything about the Pacific theatre of WW2.

Why were the Americans unable to press their fleet advantage post-Midway (and especially once the Essex carriers came online) to attack the Japanese held outlying islands directly. You don't see attacks on places like the Marshalls or the Marianas until 1944, and it seems like the Americans could have started a year earlier.

Zionist propaganda. Venezuela is under siege by outside reactionary forces. You can't expect a country to function if they are being squeezed by a large powerful country. Socialism hasn't failed in Venezuela, its American bullshit propaganda that the neoliberals like to bring up in order to show the alleged "failings of socialism". Its fake news bullshit.
