Hello /leftypol/, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.

New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or http://leftychan.i2p/

Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.

New Roulette Board
>>>/777/
After some discussion, we decided on /k/ as the new roulette board theme, replacing /CHAD/. Archived threads from previous roulette cycles can still be viewed here >>>/roulette_archive/
Any suggestions for future roulette board rotations are welcome.

people online are never talking about the gas chambers the right way. The gas chambers are a thousands years curse. gas chamber exhaust is permanent. I dont want you to have the right to gas chamber my mama at the bus stop.

You always talk as if you losing your ability to gas chamber my mama at the bus stop would be DISGUSTING to your great founding fathers.

You know why youre parents are getting dementia. It's so obvious but I'm not supposed to say any thing or the white american nazi gas chamber police is going to tackle me and herd me in to the gas chambers for telling you. The gas chambers are disguised as transportation. The nazis have NO plans to dismantle the gas chambers.(The white american nazi gas chamber police in the PNW told me that the nazis are running the gas chambers like that on purpose to "thin out the herd")

When the gas chambers burn the gas it becomes permanent co2 that stays in the atmosphere for thousands of years. The trees cant pay the cost. 1 tree only absorbs abount 2.4 gallons of gas per year. even IF the trees absorb the ancient forests' co2 up from under the ground, the forests will just burn again to release the co2 again any way. You'd have to grow trees and then bury them again to undo the work of the gas chambers permamently pumping all that co2 out of the ground. You would have to grow forests and bury them under round on purpose some how.

The nazis built a permanent gas chamber exhaust pipe in the middle of the street. The nazis could have built a fountain! Instead they built a permanent gas chamber exhaust pipe in the middle of the street where children live and it pumps out 100 times as much permanent gas chamber exhaust as ALL the world's volcanoes do in a year except that gas chamber exhaust pipe pumps that much gas chamber exhaust in only 3 or 4 days.

Retards here have been claiming an imminent stock market crash for almost 10 years straight.

But it looks like this time we might actually get a crash this time because the Republicans seem to like crashing the market in their second terms.

And it does seem like Trump and his advisors are trying to crash the market.

Either that or Trump's economic advisors are just stupid.

Ignoring your LLM slop, calculus is all about methods of transforming between different rates of modeled processes. I imagine if Marx understood calculus, there are some aspects of his capital accumulation equations that one could take the derivative of or integrate over to understand more about the rate of change occurring or obtain a quantum of some value over a given period. There have been plenty of Marxist economists in the 20th and 21st centuries who understood calculus, I would be surprised if someone hasn't already done all this.

Northern Virginia is the hub of the bourgeois in America. It contains both the wealthiest and most powerful people. But it isn't a community in any sense of the word, nor are sub-areas.

They could build picket fences over every parcel and nothing would change. Datacenters, unless they make noise bother few.

People are very isolated and everything in public has a price. The mental health of the state and even its economy is in freefall.

Also nothing is going to slow down AI and neo-Ludditism is cringe, especially when made on internet devices and articulated by developers who are just worried about their jobs.

AI has already peaked. We haven't seen any giant leaps forward from gpt4, so it's slowing down by virtue of the technology reaching it's limits. It's wrong to expect AGI at this rate, rather we will see incremental improvements with diminishing returns.

Turns out you can pick the worst performing AI company and say anything you want. But 3 years ago people were saying the big LLM models couldn't do basic math (and many couldn't often), now every other cognitive-task oriented professional is using them to do their jobs for them because they've gotten so much more intelligent.

It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.

U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.

🇮🇶 Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee (Islamic Resistance in Iraq):
—
At a time when we renew our warning to the Americans and the leaders of the Kurdish parties in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq against the consequences of getting involved in supporting the criminal Kurdish gangs supported by the "israeli" entity, which seek to infiltrate the Islamic Republic, the forces of arrogance and those parties will face severe targeting of their economic interests, companies, tools of influence, and camps in Iraq and the region, and we will turn them—by the power and strength of Allah—into rubble that their calculations cannot comprehend.

The sons of the Iraqi resistance, who defeated the terrorist Daesh gangs and thwarted the malicious zionist-American enemy's plans in the country, are capable of deterring its tools throughout Iraq, and they will not allow the return of the monsters of terrorism, no matter how many forms they take or names they go by.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 70,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Italian workers' unions launched a massive general strike in October over the shipping of weapons through Italian ports which are being used in Israel's genocide, and launched another strike in November.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire. In October 2025, another ceasefire and prisoner exchange was agreed upon in Gaza, and Israel has proceeded to kill over 300 Palestinians in Gaza since agreeing. Israel has also refused to allow the agreed-upon amount of aid into Gaza.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US invoPost too long.

Israeli strikes hit villages in southern Lebanon’s autism scorelam al-Tuffah region
The Israeli military says it is attacking Hezbollah sites but civilians and civilian infrastructure have been repeatedly targeted.

Israeli air strikes have targeted Blat and Wadi Barghouti in several strikes in southern Lebanon’s autism scorelim al-Tuffah region, in the latest violation of a ceasefire reached in November 2024 between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent on the ground.

The Israeli military said its forces were launching attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. This is the usual army line, but large numbers of civilians and civilian infrastructure have been targeted in the ongoing near-daily Israeli attacks.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent noted that no casualties have been reported so far, with most of the raids targeting open areas amidst forests and hills.

On Thursday, Israeli strikes on Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley killed one person and wounded 29 others.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Health announced that a “16-year-old Syrian boy was killed”, the National News Agency (NNA) reported. He was named as Hussein Mohsen al-Khalaf and was killed in a strike on Kfar Dan near Baalbek, the L’Orient news outlet reported.

Ceasefire violations
Israel’s military has continued to carry out attacks in Lebanon, despite a November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah that sought to bring an end to more than a year of fighting. More than 300 people have been killed since then, including 127 civilians, according to the United Nations.

🚨 Lawyer Hassan Abadi to Al-Quds News Network on the Escalated Zionist Campaign on Palestinian Prisoners:
—
The “state of emergency” inside the occupation prisons has become a cover for escalating violations against Palestinian prisoners.

There is a real danger that the prison administration is deliberately provoking prisoners while the world is distracted by military developments and the war with Iran.

Repressive measures have intensified: tighter restrictions inside prison sections, reduced yard time, and in many prisons the yard hour has been completely denied.

The prison administration has escalated inspection raids, arbitrary transfers, and collective punishment against prisoners.

A prisoner today is completely isolated from the outside world, and when they hear sirens without knowing what is happening, they are left in confusion and anxiety about their families.

The arrival of a new prisoner used to be a breath of fresh air that brought news from outside, but now new detainees are held separately to prevent the flow of information.

A new law allows court sessions through video conferencing, meaning detainees no longer appear physically before the courts.

Since there have been new doc releases and recent new exposures of notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his activities with Israeli intelligence, Donald Trump, Ehud Barak, (former) Prince Andrew, Peter Thiel, and various ops, corporate states, and world governments, and with new information now coming very fast, I thought I'd create a new thread just to collect more of this new stuff in one place, as well as to potentially add previously released info which might be getting memory holed.

World Economic Forum head Borge Brende quits after Epstein links revealed
The World Economic Forum boss, a former Norwegian foreign minister, had dinners and exchanged messages with Epstein.

Borge Brende has resigned from his roles as the president and CEO of the World Economic Forum (WEF), following revelations of his links with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister who became president of the WEF in 2017, announced his departure on Thursday, joining the ranks of prominent figures to have left their jobs or faced criminal investigations after their contacts with Epstein were revealed in files released by the US Department of Justice last month.

Whitney Webb - Carbyne, the Israeli intelligence linked (and probable front) company that Epstein helped fund and guide along with Ehud Barak and Peter Thiel, now runs and controls the 911 emergency systems throughout numerous states and counties in the US.

Their initial software descriptions revealed that they harvest tons of data from phones that call into those 911 call systems and store that information, previously touting they would use it for pre-crime-style functionality.

You may be outraged about the Epstein files and the Epstein cover-up, but you should also be investigating how nothing practical is being done to dismantle what Epstein helped build. This foreign company should be nowhere near essential US services, but it continues to rack up local contracts.

I wrote about it first in 2019 but recent releases have revealed more of the comms and intent between Barak, Thiel and Epstein.

https://unlimitedhangout.com/2019/09/invest

"Carbyne’s call-handling/crisis management platform has already been implemented in several U.S. counties and the company has offices not only in the U.S. but also in Mexico, Ukraine and Israel. Carbyne’s expansion to more emergency service provider networks in the U.S. is likely, given that federal legislation seeks to offer grants to upgrade 911 call centers throughout the country with the very technology of which Carbyne is the leading provider. One of the main lobby groups promoting this legislation, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), has a “strong relationship” with Carbyne, according to Carbyne’s website. In addition, Carbyne has also begun marketing its platformfor non-emergency calls to governments, educational institutions and corporations."
