Of course there's a personal belief factor but I do think there is a strategy to it, they really play up their idpol support but try their damned hardest to cover up their labor abuses. I'm sure the strategy is moreso focused on maximizing profits and public support while avoiding facing repercussions for their abuses but there is nonetheless a strategy that has the effect of distracting from real issues.
Aren't you guys essentially just liberals?

Definitely, what they call "CSR" is a marketing exercise in part.

Yeah man, people were really fucking stupid about safe sex at that time.

You can't really compare the whole of the US to the whole of Japan, because sex-ed varies from state to state. It is clear that safe sex ed is more effective at preventing pregnancy and the transfer of sti than abstinence only.

This might only be common knowledge in the US because this is a debate we have often.

Jesus Christ, did you even read Marx? Commodity production based on the private ownership of the means of the production and the exploitation of wage labour to extract surplus value, surplus which is reinvested into production for the purpose of further surplus extraction or simply utilized for the purchase of commodities.
Yes they fucking are you anti-materialist nigger.
None of this is a materialist argument, this is all just moralist kvetching. At least when some anons bring up those things, they bring up an actual materialism argument not based on "feelings".
I stated largely materially determined. The average-level behavioral traits of a population also do not develop in a vacuum. And while some genetic traits do play a role, when observing the socialist societies of the past these are shown to mean very little. Socialism generally eliminates the Autism Level poverty traps/spirals which occur in capitalism which prevents and stifles intelligence development among the poorest groups of society. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

no you fucking retard, it's a product of hundreds if not thousands of years of puritanical judeo-christian monogamy.
how fucking stupid are you?

Read Origin of the Family. Marriage contracts never stopped deviant attitude, and in Victorian England did the exact opposite.

People in general? Because the gigantic, orders of magnitude disparity between normal people and homosexuals existed back then too.
You're welcome to find a state with lower STI rates than Japan. You won't be able to find one.
Ok, by these criteria the Roman Empire was capitalistic. You had commodities markets, even futures markets, you had capital investment by private owners and international trade too. Is the difference between the Roman Empire and Victorian Britain one of kind, or degree?
No they aren't. What your earlier picture described (e.g. negative liberty/rights before the law) is an application of liberalism's central axiom. Not that central axiom itself. For the fourth time, the central axiomatic foundation of liberalism is the idea that individual liberty is an a priori moral good.
Mental health, familial stability, self-esteem, pairbonding and fecundity are all highly important to a society's standard of living, even in purely material terms. For example, if high-intelligence people are living lifestyles where they're almost incapable of settling down and forming a healthy family until they're in their 30s, and are only having one child between them, then that will lead to inter-generational degradation of human capital.
So you are denying the scientific fact that intelligence is at least 50% heritable?

Do you just eat up whatever the west says about the USSR?

Sure there is - stop before you go full retard and declare that anyone who deviates from your ideal human must be removed from society. So some people are dumb. Who cares? There's still a place for them in society. You can fully accept the premises of racial science and still reject racism.

As a foreigner this makes me laugh. Your reference point for what actual religious tradition and rightist social mores are most be so narrow.
America invented feminism, normalized sexual deviancy, popularized no-fault divorce, forced the decolonization of Africa and the world, pushed multiculturalism to every corner of the globe, made liberal democracy the only globally accepted form of government, and proliferated a pop culture and societal norms that destroys the birth rates of anyone with triple digit Autism Levels.
The Whig Republic that is the United States of America is the single most powerful weapon that liberals have ever wielded in all of human history. Nothing else even comes close.
