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.

The nuclear threat is back. But we don't see any nuclear panic like in the 1980s. Why is that? Why does nobody care?

I am not some prepper retard but even I am getting nervous.

Just look at this shit
A time of unprecedented danger: It is 90 seconds to midnight
https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/
>This year, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moves the hands of the Doomsday Clock forward, largely (though not exclusively) because of the mounting dangers of the war in Ukraine. The Clock now stands at 90 seconds to midnight—the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been.
>As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned in August, the world has entered “a time of nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War.”

So far, no not really, they wanted nuclear power plants and the hole nuclear weapons stick was just meant as a bargaining chip for negotiations.

Although the message the US has send the world is this:
<Get nukes, or else we'll bomb your people and try to overthrow your government.

Whether Iran creates sufficient deterrent with conventional means or whether they go nuclear, i don't know, but I would be very surprised if this episode doesn't inspire a bunch of other countries to conclude that they need the nuclear stick because the neocon no-rules-based-order is scary as fuck. Unintended nuclear blow-back…

>U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he would like to maintain the limits on U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear weapons deployments set in the 2010 New START agreement, which expires in February.

>"That's not an agreement you want expiring. We're starting to work on that," Trump told reporters as he exited the White House on a trip to Scotland.

>It was the first time since taking office that Trump has said he wants to maintain the treaty's limits on strategic nuclear weapons deployments when it expires on February 5.

>The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, is the last remaining nuclear arms reduction accord between the world's largest nuclear powers.

Nearly half of Americans believe US likely to enter nuclear war in next decade: Poll
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/nearly-half-of-americans-believe-us-likely-to-enter-nuclear-war-in-next-decade-poll/3756138

>Nearly half of Americans believe the US is likely to enter a nuclear war within the next 10 years, according to a new YouGov survey released Wednesday.

>The poll, done online between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2 among 1,148 US adult citizens, found that 46% think a nuclear conflict involving the US is "very" or "somewhat" likely over the coming decade, while 37% say it is not likely. The expectation of nuclear war was found to be higher among Democrats (57%) than Republicans (37%), likely reflecting Democrats’ anxiety over the policies of the Trump administration.

>The survey also found that 52% of Americans believe the odds of nuclear war are higher now than they were a decade ago.

>Meanwhile, at least 44% said they believe terrorists or criminals could use a nuclear device inside the US within the next decade.

>On nuclear policy, 56% say the US should only use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack, while 21% say they should never be used. Americans remain divided on whether US nuclear weapons make them safer, with 33% saying they do and 26% saying they feel less safe.

Every Briton should stockpile water and food supplies, government advises
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/oct/22/britain-prepare-infrastructure-attacks-hostile-states-wes-streeting

>Be Ready campaign aims to prepare UK for impact of climate crisis, technological dependency and threats by hostile state

>Every Briton is being urged to stock up to nine litres of bottled water and three days' worth of food in new government guidance designed to ensure that households can survive a weather, cyber or other serious emergency.

>Dan Jarvis, the security minister, said that "those who can follow this advice should follow this advice". It amounted to "simple steps to be ready for everyday emergencies" as part of a wider, community-oriented effort "to improve our resilience as a nation", he said.

>Wes Streeting, the defence secretary, added that Britain also needed to prepare for the threat of "state-sponsored terrorism" by Russia or other hostile powers targeting everyday infrastructure.

>People are advised to keep a ready supply of blankets and cash at home plus a first aid kit, a torch with batteries and a wind-up FM radio. Three litres of water per person per day should be stored for drinking - and more is needed for cooking and washing, the guidance adds.

>The guidance emerged as 32 UK government websites were taken offline in a precautionary measure in response to the discovery of a security vulnerability in the PHP programming language used by millions of websites around the world.

We know why they don't label mainstream religious beliefs as delusions and why they come up with their numbers-based cope about what constitutes a delusion: because they'd run themselves out of business if they insulted so many people. Ergo, they prioritize money, killing their credibility with everything else. How is one supposed to know whether or not they're drawing out treatment to get more money?

Scientific evidence show that kids a few months younger in a classroom have more adhd "diagnosis". Kids who are in classrooms that don't have 32 pupils but 24nare reduced risk of "adhd". it's a literal scam.

It is Astrology but with institutional funding. Psychology is bullshit. It's just to get easy money.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 72,700. 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 900 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 involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

Renewed US/Israeli attacks on Iran led to the destruction of multiple US bases in west Asia and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The US mercenary front called the GHF has reportedly disbanded.

UK to deploy Typhoon jets to help defend Saudi Arabia from [Ansarallah] attacks
Ministry of Defence says warplanes will operate in 'defensive role' and not be used to attack Yemeni group.

The United Kingdom has said it will deploy fighter jets to help protect Saudi Arabia from attacks by Yemen's Houthis.

In a statement on Tuesday, the British Ministry of Defence said the Typhoon warplanes would operate in a "defensive role" and not carry out attacks against the [Yemeni resistance group which governs the most populous regions on Yemen and has the support of most Yemenis].

"The UK will fly defensive counter air missions to support the protection of Saudi cities and critical national infrastructure against aerial attack, using RAF Typhoon fighter jets," it added.

The support includes an extension of air-to-air refuelling support for Saudi air operations, the ministry added.

The announcement comes amid heavy fighting between the Houthis - [a misnomer referring to] Ansar Allah, Arabic for Supporters of God - and Yemen's [Saudi puppet government], which [has no airforce and] is [controlled] by Saudi Arabia.

In recent weeks, [Ansarallah] have carried out missile and drone strikes against the kingdom, including oil facilities and Riyadh's main airport, while the Saudi […] government has launched air attacks on [Ansarallah] positions.

"The continuing attacks from the Houthis on our ally Saudi Arabia are absolutely despicable. The targeting of the airport in Riyadh in particular shows the lengths the Houthis are going to escalate the situation in the region," UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said. [Anon's note: the current round of fighting began in July, when Saudi Arabia bombed Sana'a Airport in an attempt to prevent an Iranian plane from breaking the 11-year long illegal Saudi siege of Yemen]

"That's why today I have approved further UK military support. RAF Typhoons will fly defensive air missions to help protect Saudi airspace from drones and missiles. This builds on the UK equipment and personnel we already have in the country to defend against Houthi air attacks," he added.

Reporting from London, Al Jazeera's Camille Nedelec said the UK government's decision was partly driven by growing concerns over rising energy prices.

Drop Site - BREAKING: Yemen's Saudi-backed government declared that tribal rallies and other civilian public gatherings in areas controlled by Ansarallah will be treated as "legitimate military targets."

In a statement, its Defense Ministry warned civilians not to attend gatherings like tribal mobilizations, mass rallies or "cultural courses," which it said Ansarallah uses to recruit "children, young people" and send them "into the furnaces of death." It ordered families to stay away.

Under international law, civilians at such gatherings cannot be targeted unless they are directly taking part in hostilities. The Saudi-led coalition has hit civilian gatherings before. In one incident, in an October 2016 strike on a funeral hall in Sanaa, the Saudi coalition killed more than 140 Yemenis.
