>The deadman's tomb (it is ok to make jokes at the author's expense by now) is a long, harrowing adventure across humanity's existence and humanity's collective philosophy. It is, above all, Heisman's personal work, and is truly a suicide note, left to explain why he has chosen to off himself. It was as if he were trying to defend his own suicide, his own depression, by pulling off the ultimate act of human dignity: suicide by reason. He failed in this task, but instead showed us a remarkable view of his insecurities while creating a ludicrous synthesis of western thought that is, somehow, implicitly and explicitly, both parody and not parody.

Heisman's stated reason for killing himself are, essentially, that he wants to do an experiment. This experiment is seeing whether or not his book is stopped from being read- truth be told everybody can read it, and this is well-remarked upon in other places. But, that is not the reason he kills himself. The reason he kills himself is this hypothesis: if he wants to do the experiment truly objectively, then, he reasons, he must be dead because the fact that he is alive means he has tendencies to view the data in a subjective way. Furthermore, because he says Western thought is increasingly moving towards the abolishment of anthrocentrism, materialism means that whether or not he is alive does not matter.

Thereby, his suicide is the result of him trying to do this experiment subjectively.

Bullox. He gives, like a bad magician, away most of his secrets at the beginning and the end of the book. The rest is filler material. Heisman shows quickly that he is not psychologically healthy- despite having a degree in psychology. He has a desperate occupation with Judaism, despite being atheist, that stems from the early death of his father and the resulting mental isolation that resulted from the rest of the world. His chapter names, though funny, are meant to be both true and offensive. It speaks to an incredible narcissism- where he essentially states that none but he have been honest with themselves- that he seeks to both find followers and to offend in his death.

The actual content of the tomb is a sort of magnification of history that ultimately results in his experiment as the turning point. Firstly, we begin with his concentration on the battle of Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

The Soviets contributed the largest military effort in the anti-fascist alliance called Allied Forces. The effects of the Soviet military machine were so intense that the effects on the landscape still linger. There is a huge pile of hard evidence that supports the conclusion that the Soviets were vigorously opposed to fascism.

Your piece of paper does not fall into that category of hard evidence. That's why i called it anecdotal evidence. It's a weaker type of evidence, that you can't use to contradict claims that are backed by hard evidence.

How do you managed to ignore the events in world war 2. There is no ambiguity.

>>484719
Why are you ignoring that they supported them? I don't care that they fought the Nazis, because they went back on their anti-fascism by supporting Nazis later. Just because you did something good in the past doesn't mean that you're absolved of any future crimes.

Israel announces new ground raids into Lebanon

The Israeli military said soldiers from its 91st Division, including reserve troops, have begun a ground operation in southern Lebanon.

This comes a week after Israel’s military first announced the launch of its ground offensive in Lebanon. It also comes as the military continues its air raids on Lebanon, including on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

‘Massive explosions’ rock Beirut again
Laura Khan
Reporting from Beirut, Lebanon

We are in central Beirut, about 7km [4 miles] away from those southern suburbs of Dahiyeh, where there have been absolutely massive explosions.

The Israeli forces issued a statement saying that they hit a weapons depot belonging to Hezbollah. We were looking at these images of these huge blasts that were lighting up the night sky and there seemed to be a number of secondary explosions and some sort of projectiles coming out of there.

But whether it was a weapons depot that caused these explosions, we are not sure yet.

Dropping 70+ 2,000 lb bombs onto a crowded capital city to get like 3 specific guys max is already such overkill that it would be totally inconceivable to any regime which isn't receiving infinite free bombs from the US. Like, nothing about this even makes sense from a standpoint of ordinary war strategy, everything about it is sadistic, excessive, and illegal even before the depleted uranium.

Imperial PR isn't going anywhere. It is re-basing in Europe, and you see some of its faces appearing as part of the "new normal" or "Fourth Reich" of German global dominance.

The "actual East" has no ability nor an interest in taking over PR, beyond putting up a standard front. China's foreign-language propaganda is hilariously awful, and of their competent propagandists, the message is "China is open for business", "China is your friend", and so on. Their agitation propaganda is kept awful and produced in cooperation with the empire, rather than against it.

What "the West" is censoring is all of the people who are being liquidated or will be liquidated in the near future. Can't have them using public access to appeal in any way what is done to them. Up until now, there was some expectation of legal appeal or hearings regarding all of the horrible shit that has been done to them. This will no longer be acceptable now that the public-facing governments are dissolving, and people see the empire and its leading lights as the source of their problem. Enough people already have appealed the empire, but the empire was covered by public-facing governments as its facade. With the dissolution of public life, that dodge no longer works, and public life is dissolved because it creates too many expectations that there is a way to appeal anything the ruling power and the law does that is obviously harmful. For example, outright seizure of private property held by ordinary people, which has happened at record pace since 2020, with every crisis being an opportunity to steal more stuff, and an explicitly stated goal to end home ownership or any mobility for actual humans.

Most Soviet censorship was basic, routine things any state with an intact public would do. It is entirely in bounds for a state to legislate public morality, whether the censorship is explicit as with most states, or implicit as in the United States. All throughout the history of the US, laws were passed at state and local levels, and occasionally at federal level, to do exactly this. The law of free speech was never a blanket protection for assholes to say what they want with clear intention to mock a free society, using retards who cannot comprehend the concept and insist on their fake and insane Germanic "freedom".

It should be telling that the only victory for "freedom" is striking down sodomy laws and forbidding people to resist this invasion of their lives and disruption of their most basic relations, and we're told this news with glowing, cheerful music, when we know they cut up our brains and mock us every single day and goad us repeatedly, knowing that it is now illegal to even say what this is let alone do anything about it. Nothing the Soviet Union did came close to that, and the most egregious Soviet censorship was to defend the people who were preparing to dismantle communism and present the nation's asshole for deeper ramming for the empire.

>>484772
The Soviet type censorship was incorrect too. The only reason to do censorship is for protectionism in order to create a domestic media production sector, in case you lack media. And you wouldn't censor any specific opinions, because people generally are inflexible about what type of messages they listen to, and you want as many people as possible to listen to your media. You can only put the thumb on the scale of public opinion by making sure the preferred political direction gets more resources for broader coverage, a nicer presentation and so on. Anything further and you create nothing but people who will with infinite stubbornness refuse to believe anything you say, or even listen to what you say. There were people in the soviet Union that listened to Radio free Europe for no other reason than F the state-censor

Until now China had no chance to make any headway against western media, precisely because it was open enough that you could find voices for more or less every possible political direction. If western media begins to censor certain voices, that's when China gets a chance to expand it's media influence. Because there's people who are no longer getting supplied by western media. I hate to use a market-metaphor, but it works well for this: Think about censorship as refusing to offer anything to a certain segment of the market. That's an opening for the competition.

Basically the primary battle is about getting people to adopt your information medium, what kind of information that medium contains is secondary. This is how western media became dominant in the world. I think the medium is the message was the catchphrase for that supremely successful strategy. The point isn't about brain-washing people with propaganda, that's not how you win. First it's only partially possible to do that, and second the goal is to get people all over the world to consume your media in order to make them learn your language, to adopt your conceptual frameworks, adopt the standards of your system, all intangible things that are difficult to quantify but that gives you a huge advantage because your stuff is the default.

Also it's likely that the Chinese will begin to ease up on their censorship, because that will enable them to gain the global audience the western media is loosing. The sign to look out for will be when Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

The reason for censorship isn't an ulterior motive to be tested by your enemies. If you do that, you're asking to be derailed by any dishonest actor who is happy to lie, who has lied every step of the way and forced everyone else to glorify the lying. Censorship is among the most basic functions of a state, not a tool or policy that is switched out. Nothing about censorship applies to "perfect systems" in that way. The entire reason censorship exists is because there is no such thing as "perfect systems with perfect information", and the habit of humans to lie makes perfect information impossible and undesirable. If you must make all humans completely and autistically honest for your society to work, it has already failed. Every state in history has presumed that humans are not naturally good at all and cannot be trusted. In all cases, humans are moral actors in order for a state to even exist. Otherwise, not even fear would keep a society in line - only brute, unreasoning force would. You can see how exhausting it is to live up to the insane standards of "perfect information", which were only ever imposed by cajolers who always freely lie about everything and anything, and declare imperiously that it illegal to acknowledge that they are lying.

There is a gross misunderstanding of the role of the censor, and how states control media, both in the past and in the present. The modern lies rely on fetishizing information and symbolic representation to make moral standards of comparison impossible. This is the Germanic insanity, which need not be repeated. The German ideology is a fast way to destroy your country and sell it off to foreign powers, which is exactly what the German philosophers and the Nazis did, and what the Germans live under today. These institutions are shit!

The censor does not exist to make "perfect information" or "control reality", as if the expression of ideas in of themselves held any power. The censor's role re: public morality is primarily moral rather than informational or intellectual. So, early modernity, just before the revolutions, it did not occur to the monarchy that it had to censor the liberal ideas. What they were censoring were obviously disgusting materials like pornography, since - and it's hilarious to recount this - pornography was used to facilitate revolutionary material precisely because it wPost too long.

I know I'm responding to a tard who can't get basic shit, but they really need to ask why this posturing and performance of "toughness" was glorified by liberal so-called democracy, and see how what was normalized especially during the 1990s is by historical standards extremely ultraviolent and invasive of private life in a way that had never been possible before.

>BRICS is literally the imperial blueprint

the imperial pattern has 3 main features, financial dominance, military dominance, and imperial division of industry

Their financial project is not replicating the imperial-currency dominance pattern. They have this intermediary currency for trade between nations that is locked to a basket of goods (think of this like currency locked to gold, except that it is now lots of different commodities), it will not re-create the typical imperial finance structures. I would classify this as a blocking mechanism that prevents any of the Brics countries from establishing their national currency as the one everybody has to use for trade.

Potential candidates for military dominance in Brics could be either Russia or China. At the moment we're not seeing either expanding as in creating a global network of military bases. (Which has been the pattern for every empire in history so far)

Now for the imperial division of industry, one can definitely see some of that happening in Brics. There is resource extraction going on in some countries while the higher value-add processes in the industrial chain are happening mainly in other countries. However there are no indications of restricted development, as in one country imposing on another what kind of industry it can have.
Sofar we see Africa and South America functioning as low-value add supplies for China, but we're not seeing China doing anything to prevent these countries from climbing up the value add latter to industries higher in the industrial chain.

The Russians have been helping other countries in Brics to level up domestic military technology and Chinese have been helping with industrial infrastructure. That's also something that i haven't seen any previous empire do.

At the very least there are people trying to build something else that is not shaped like an empire. Whether these people succeed, i can't really say. But it would be wrong to dismiss their efforts. At least at the moment that tendency seems to be in the ascendance.

>If I was the leader of Iran and the US assured me that I could retaliate and the US wouldn't attack me, it would have little bearing on what decision I made.
I think the previous case of a "choreographed theatrical retaliation" where the Iran negotiated the details and timetables of the attack with the US could have become a blue-print for defusing escalations. While in the end it did not work, it was definitely worth the attempt of turning war-fare in a spectacle without much real destruction. It's a shame the jedi-mind trick didn't work on the warmongers.

Iran now seems to be aiming for a strategy of degrading Israel's offensive capabilities. Like damaging air-bases. While they currently are on a wave cadence, I think they'll end up on a constant slow attrition strategy that puts pressure on Isreal's re-supply. The US and most of the western weapons industry is having difficulties of organizing timely production of those very complex weapons systems, because of the neo-liberally eroded industrial base. Slowly depleting the offensive potential also was the strategy of the Russians during the middle part of the Russian-Nato-proxy-war in Ukraine.

>>484731
History does not repeat nor tolerate the present state Israel wishes to impose on it.

With what Iran is building up, I would not be surprised if they flatten Israel and rain hellfire, and US looks the other way.

>>484734
I don't think Iran really intends to "flatten" Isreal. They're looking for deterrence primarily, and if they can't have that they'll attempt to destroy Isreal's capacity to attack other countries in the region, while preserving Isreal's viability as a state.

They do have the fire-power to obliterate Isreal, but that won't come into play unless Isreal tries to use nukes. Some of the ultra Zionist hardliners want to use nukes in Lebanon, not because it serves a military objective, but rather as an attempt to intimidate.

If that happens Iran would switch it's economy to a war-time command economy, begin underground nuclear weapons testing and start continuously hammering Israel with conventional weapons, this time with the aim of destroying Isreal's viability as a state. I.d.k. if the US pulls out and looks away, but it's definitely possible, it's not worth it for the US to throw down on behalf of Israel, not economically and especially not politically.

At the moment this scenario is not very likely, the US military probably would act resolutely to frustrate any use of nuclear weapons they haven't approved. The other factor, as Alexander Mercouris puts it: "Russia's long shadow descending upon the middle east", is changing the power equation in a major way.

Also you can't hide, like… the fact that you own a plot of land. It's way easier to cover up income than it is to cover up land ownership. If you own a whole lot of land and holding it vacant costs way more than you'd get by waiting a decade and selling it, then you'll have a market suddenly flooded with cheap houses.

>>484677
You know that George's land tax was partially meant to fund George's vision of public housing, right?

>Is contemporary American politics more right-wing than Italian fascism?
Yes, it's literal Nazi tier.

>>484683
Henry George supported a Land-Tax Funded Citizens' Dividend and the nationalization of natural monopolies, but I don't remember anything about public housing. I wouldn't be totally shocked if he proposed it, but I don't recall that. I'm not opposed to public housing, but the economic effect of Georgist tax policy would already drive prices down greatly, and the citizens' dividend would give the average person more financial security. We literally have enough buildings, they could solve the housing crisis with tax reform without building a single additional structure, but they won't do either.

>>484677
>the idea, if you're a landlord and treating it as an investment, is to be able to hold those properties for an extended period of time until the market price grows up.
It's not the price "going up", it's the currency being debased by your communist central bank. People hold hard assets to protect themselves from inflation not to make a "profit".

>This artificially increases scarcity
Correct. Although the real solution is to have hard money which cannot be inflated by political entities and then people don't need to hog hard assets like land and houses.

>>484678
>Also you can't hide, like… the fact that you own a plot of land.
That's not necessarily true there is a whole book about this called Who Owns England. The British aristocracy have been using land to evade taxes and inheritance bullshit for centuries.

>If you own a whole lot of land and holding it vacant costs way more than you'd get by waiting a decade and selling it, then you'll have a market suddenly flooded with cheap houses.
Land is not the same thing as houses. We don't have a land shortage we have a housing shortage. Government regulations, unstable currency and high cost of labor all make it very difficult to turn a profit from building houses so nobody bothers building them. And don't forget your open borders, refugees welcome, multikulti virtue signaling bullshit is also artificially increasing demand.
