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/

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.

🇮🇶 Islamic Resistance in Iraq:
—
During the past twenty-four hours, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out thirty-one operations using dozens of drones and missiles against occupation bases in Iraq and the region. Thus, the total number of operations during the last 12 days reaches 291, which resulted in the killing of thirteen Americans and the injury of dozens, including several with critical injuries.

Details to follow.

To answer part of my question, it seems like it's actually still very challenging to hit a moving ship with a long-range missile in 2026. Most anti-ship missiles have to skim the surface of the water to evade radar, which tends to make them subsonic and require some kind of overhead surveillance to keep them pointed at their target. China's new anti-ship ballistic missile changes the rules somehow by being able to continue maneuvering after atmospheric re-entry.

I kinda wonder that too. They've decimated a number of bases and satellites. They seemed to attack the USS Abraham Lincoln, and it moved after that afaik. I presume that the initial "israeli" attacks were launched either from US airbases or from "israeli" bases in Syria, and those were heavily supported by those same bases. Iran shot down several US planes in Kuwait, and has shot down a large number of drones, and so I guess part of the answer here is also the sheer number of US bases. Iran's chopping away at years of crusted scum attached to the Gulf region.

I don't rule out the difficulty-hitting-moving-ships thing, though… in which case, China should lend them some of those missiles.

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."

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.

🚨 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.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The continuation of the occupation’s closure of Al-Aqsa for the 11th day and the prevention of Taraweeh prayers and Itikaf there for the first time since 1967 is a dangerous historical precedent, a blatant attack on freedom of worship, and a provocative escalation against Islamic sanctities. We warn of its repercussions and call on our nation to take urgent action to protect and defend it and stop the crimes of the enemy against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirm that the fascist occupation government’s continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque for the eleventh consecutive day, and the prevention of worshipers and the Murabitin from reaching it and performing Taraweeh prayers and Itikaf there during the blessed month of Ramadan, for the first time since 1967, is considered a dangerous precedent and a blatant violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the freedom of worship, and a dangerous escalation against the first Qibla of Muslims and the object of their hearts' affection. It comes under flimsy pretexts, within the framework of occupation agendas that accompany the escalation of the inflammatory and provocative rhetoric led by the so-called extremist zionist “Temple” organizations against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The continuation of this arbitrary and criminal closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque reveals once again the danger of the zionist schemes aimed at changing the existing religious, historical, and legal reality in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and are overt attempts to erase its features and consecrate attempts to divide it temporally and spatially. It is in line with the movements of extremist zionist organizations, and an effort to consolidate their suspicious goals of continuing its closure, performing their Talmudic rituals, and desecrating its courtyards.

We warn of the danger and repercussions of the continued closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the prevention of worshipers from reaching it, traveling to it, and performing seclusion there.

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

Al-Sharaa meets Putin as Russia seeks to secure military bases in Syria
Kremlin has not indicated whether it will agree to al-Sharaa’s repeated requests for Bashar al-Assad’s extradition.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow as the latter seeks to shore up Russia’s presence in the country, including militarily, just over a year after al-Sharaa ousted Russia’s former ally, Bashar al-Assad.

Speaking at a news conference before their meeting on Wednesday, al-Sharaa thanked Putin for supporting unity in Syria and what he said was the “historic” role Russia had played in the “stability of the region”.

…

Putin and al-Sharaa spent more than a decade on opposing sides of Syria’s civil war, prompting concerns in Moscow about the future of Russia’s military presence there.

Before the talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “the presence of our soldiers in Syria” would be discussed. They are stationed at the Khmeimim airbase and the Tartous naval base in Syria’s Mediterranean coastal region.

Earlier this week, Russia reportedly withdrew its forces from the Qamishli airport in Kurdish-held northeastern Syria, leaving it with only its two Mediterranean bases – now its only military outposts outside the former Soviet Union.

Russian forces have reportedly begun a rapid withdrawal from their military outpost at Qamishli airport in north-east Syria. The pullout occurred just as Ahmed al-Sharaa arrived in Moscow for a state visit on 28 January 2026, to discuss the future of Russia's remaining military presence.

Analysts suggest Putin is sacrificing isolated outposts like Qamishli to secure long-term rights to the more vital Hmeimim airbase and Tartus naval base on Syria's Mediterranean coast. Despite the "conciliatory tone" of recent talks, Russia's continued sheltering of Bashar al-Assad in Moscow remains a major sticking point, as Sharaa has repeatedly requested his extradition.

Today's episode attached - Galloway covers Venezuela, Yemeni retaliations hitting "Israeli" airports, speculates that Iran may respond to "Israeli" threats (in light of previous attacks) with a strike, and more!

WAR WH*RE | Netanyahu White House lobby | Epstein and Andrew | Canada shootings | Starmer clings on
🔥 The war machine is roaring again — and tonight on The Mother of All Talkshows, George Galloway takes aim at the political class that feeds it.

From Washington to Tel Aviv, from Gaza to Moscow, power, propaganda and political survival collide in a world lurching from crisis to crisis.

George opens with a blistering monologue on Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House lobby, and the deep entanglement between US politics and Israel’s war strategy. As Gaza remains under bombardment and tensions with Iran escalate, we ask: who is driving the conflict — and who profits from it?

Joining live is Chris Hedges — Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, former New York Times correspondent, and host of The Chris Hedges Report. Hedges delivers a devastating assessment of the moral collapse of Western leadership, the Gaza war, Washington’s complicity, and the growing authoritarian drift in US politics.

Then, live from Moscow, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins the programme to analyse the Iran angle, shifting global alliances, Russia’s position, and what the White House doesn’t want you to hear about Tehran, Ukraine, and the widening fault lines in global power.

We also examine:
– The resurfacing of the Epstein Files and renewed scrutiny around Andrew
– The Canada shootings and the political fallout

George Galloway:
On Donald Trumps unhinged press conference

A quick summary of Donald Trump’s bizarre sometimes maniacal press conference from Mar a Lago.

As he now frequently does my 18 year old son Zein asked the best question: is he delusional or is he lying. It’s both obviously.

He was lying when he suggested that Iran may have somehow “bought” a Tomahawk missile and fired it at their own school massacring 167 of their own schoolchildren in the first hour of the war (and presumably another to double-tap their desperate parents, teachers, and frantic emergency workers)

In fact this may be the most vile despicable lie an American president has ever uttered in public. And that’s saying something.

It is certainly the most consequential lie because it will define what is left of his presidency.

But he must have delusional to repeatedly declare the Iranian forces as essentially disarmed, with no ships no air defence no missiles no launchers.

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.

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.

Only thing I disagree with is:
>nothing is going to slow down AI
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.

Economically, the booj are going to ride this bubble until it pops, but then America will truly have nothing left.

this is kinda like the "internet bubble" did companies over-leverage and make too many businesses at that exact moment? sure.

But the internet itself wasn't a bubble it was just getting started, now we've far exceeded the amount of internet businesses seen during the gold rush phase of the internet, by multiples.

> We haven't seen any giant leaps forward from gpt4

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.

Does it have to do with the historical cash cow of tobacco plantations?

8ch founder Hotwheels has died in his sleep at 31. Brennan created 8ch before the site was stolen by feds in a hostile takeover which eventually led to its end.

I hope you didn't just do that thing the horseshit games media did. The vast majority of gamergate people were not, in fact, right wing.

yea about half of republicans show up as "left-wing" on the Nolan chart, but what matters are people's speech and actions not their test scores. 8chan's main board was rabidly right-wing the entire lifetime of the site.

Brennan explicitly recruited people from 4chan's /pol/ and /v/, like the central hub of sociopathic right-wingism

Nah, you're full of shit. There may have been some overlap with /pol/tards but as a whole 4chan's /v/ community covered a pretty general spread of American politics. The transformation of 4chan into Stupid Boomer Politics only happened after the exodus and gamergate.

/pol/ and /v/


you purposefully omitted /pol/ because you know you can't fudge the history on that.


There's only a few readily accessible archives 2014, the year GG hit a peak and then discussion was banned. All I see is right-wingism: hating on jews in multiple separate threads, and promoting right-wing e-celebs like Ed Morrissey and Adam Baldwin

Two celebrities (I don't even remember this Morrissey clown) who don't even use image boards are hardly representative of the general opinion on /v/. Here's my counter anecdote: I was involved in a large project to compile all the games journalism scandals over the years and of the 20-ish people I collaborated with only two of them were hardcore right wingers. There were maybe three or four progressives and socialists on the left, while most everyone else was somewhere in the middle.

>you purposely omitted /pol/
I think it's pretty clear that I'm not disputing /pol/'s politics.
