British artist Roger Waters joins protest outside UN headquarters ahead of vote on Gaza ceasefire

British artist Roger Waters, protesting outside UN headquarters in New York on Thursday, criticised the United States for vetoing a Gaza ceasefire resolution.

Speaking to Middle East Eye Waters emphasised that the US and Israel are obstructing the path to peace and argued that the UN has the power to intervene.

Netanyahu to speak at UN HQ in NYC on September 26th

While Mileikowsky's in the U.S., he will most likely also request or initiate more U.S. attacks on Iran, and will continue to direct the mass genocide in Palestine, and assaults on Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria. If he enters and leaves the country unimpeded, the genocide will continue, and the U.S. will likely be dragged back into direct involvement in WWIII. The Zionist attack on civil liberties, freedom of speech, and all aspects of life in the U.S. will continue at a clip in order to suppress dissent against U.S. involvement in a homicidal/suicidal war against Iran. Over time, with the opposition blacklisted, disenfranchised, locked up, terrorized, silenced, and murdered, the attack on the truth by the state operatives of Zionism will not cease. Slowly, the history we have watched unfold will be re-written. The records which have not been physically replicated will be methodically erased. The public will be inundated with lies and vapid bullshit so that they will be too distracted to ever bring justice upon Biden, Trump, Blinken, Rubio, Starmer, Baerbock, Merz, Netanyahu, Gallant, Herzog, etc., and in addition to this, they will continue to be saddled with impossible, extortive debts as the U.S. continues to collapse. This is a turning point in history: either a united front takes material decisive action to make Zionism and Zionist genocide collaborationism more dangerous than opposing Zionism, or we get the bad ending where the Zionazi cult wins.

Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House again as well.
His plane will most likely fly in on the 25th or earlier. The US has seen large cuts to the FAA, which have resulted in a number of crashes and embarrassing plane accidents.

At this point, there is no excuse.

Palestine Thread Pt. IX

Continued from >>489198

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers. Israel proceeded to violate the ceasefire with airstrikes and a resumption of their illegal blockade of Gaza before resuming full-scale attacks in March and destroying the ceasefire entirely. At least 7,450 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza alone since Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire.

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 involvement.

Following more than a year of Israeli bombings of UN and NGO aid organizations, the US launched a mercenary front called the GHF under the pretext of providing aid to three sites in Gaza. Since its initiation, the IDF has been shooting Palestinians waiting for aid en masse at GHF sites, with the number of aid seekers killed at these death traps alone now already topping 1,000.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. After months of the IDF violating the ceasefire in the south of Lebanon, Israel returned to bombing Beirut in March.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance. In July, fighting broke out between Jolani's factions and the Syrian Druze religious minority, who Israel has been trying to groom as proxies in Israeli-occupied Syria for months. Israel proceeded to bomb government buildings in Damascus wthout any direct retaliation from Jolani.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.

Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.

Benjamin Netanyahu was invited back to the White House for February 4th, 2025, and again on July 7th.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and unilaterally broke the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, refusing to move on to phase two of the deal. More sham ceasefire negotiations have occurred since, resulting in Israeli rejections.

More countries have joined South Africa's legal case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for the crime of genocide. Cuba, Ireland, Belize, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, Chile, and Colombia have joined the South African case against Israel. Egypt, Belgium, and Maldives have also declared their intention to join. Nicaragua has withdrawn from the case.

The US entered into a ceasefire agreement with Ansar Allah in May of 2025 after the US navy's strikes on Yemen failed to achieve any goal beyond large amounts of killing. The US lost three planes in the process, and wasted over a billion dollars. The exchange of fire between the US and Yemen began when the US attacked Yemen on Israel's behalf, and the ceasefire only applies to the US and Yemen directly.

Yemeni Ansar Allah attacks in solidarity with Gaza have hit Ben-Gurion airport, as well as sinking two ships headed for Israel in July of 2025, since the resumption of Israel's blockade against Gaza. Yemen's blockade of Israeli shipping continues.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK. Palestine Action broke into a UK military base, damaging two planes of a type which the UK government has used to aid in Israel's genocide of Palestine. Following this, the UK government under Starmer proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group, despite direct action being a legal form of protest in the UK. Hundreds of arrests have followed.

The US gov't continued shipping weapons to Israel, in violation of US law.

The new US administration has started unlawfully abducting students for protest and opposition to genocide. The administration has threatened to deport these students, and has gone after university funding in an effort to suppress anti-genocide speech on campuses and control the narrative. Mahmoud Khalil was later released.

Israel attacked a Freedom Flotilla boat near Malta for trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza, and attacked a second Freedom Flotilla boat and abducted its crew.

In June, the Global March to Gaza, a peaceful humanitarian mission to get aid into Gaza through the Egyptian Rafah crossing, was blocked by the US-backed El-Sisi government. Hundreds of marchers were arrested and harrassed at the crossing by the Egyptian military.

And much, much more!

The activists likened the arrangement to human trafficking, and said their country’s absolute monarch, King Mswati III, entered into the deal without consulting parliament. They also alleged he is secretly obtaining benefits from the arrangement that are not being shared with the Eswatini people. The five men were deported to Eswatini in July and are currently being held at a maximum-security prison where their lawyers allege they have not been granted access to see them.

Massive Attack & Kneecap announce new anti-genocide music alliance

Massive Attack announce alliance of artists in support of Gaza, including Fontaines DC, Kneecap and Brian Eno

Massive Attack, Kneecap, Fontaines DC, and Brian Eno have officially formed a syndicate for artists who speak out about “aggressive, vexatious campaigns by pro-Israel advocates” against the people of Gaza.

The news was shared via social media, in a statement that began “the scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description,” before clearly expressing that the UK government has clearly “facilitated” the “genocide”.

The group aims to protect other artists, especially those at the beginning of their careers, from threats experienced as a by-product of speaking out in a similar way. The group revealed that they have been “subject to various infringements from within our industry (live and recorded) and legally via organised bodies such as UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).”

UKLFI reported Bob Vylan for their Glastonbury set, during which they chanted “death to the IDF.” A criminal investigation is currently underway. UKLFI also reported the BBC for broadcasting the set. As a. result, the broadcaster’s Head of Music and a team of senior BBC workers have stepped down while an internal investigation goes ahead.

UKLFI are also at the centre of the Kneecap controversy after Mo Chara was charged with a terrorism offence after he allegedly displayed a Hezbollah flag at a show in 2024 while shouting, “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.” Hezbollah are a banned organisation in the UK.

Reflecting on these tactics, the post states, “Having withstood these campaigns of attempted censorship, we won’t stand by and allow other artists – particularly those at earlier stages of their careers or in other positions of professional vulnerability – to be threatened into silence or career cancellation.”

It then encourages other artists “who’ve been placed in this position, or those who now wish to use their platforms to talk about Palestine but are concerned about industrial or legal repercussions” to contact them to make a collective stand.

The collective will work together on a list of demands, including “immediate, unfettered access to Gaza for recognised international aid agencies without military threat,” as well as an end to “UK arms sales/licenses to Israel” and an”immediate and permanent ceasefire.”

In a statement further shared with The Guardian, Massive Attack expanded on the collective: “This collective action is really about offering some kind of solidarity to those artists who are living day after day in a screen-time genocide, but are worried about using their platforms to express their horror at that because of the level of censorship within their industry or from highly organised external legal bodies, terrifying them and their management teams with aggressive legal actions. The intention is clear and obvious: to silence them.”

Venezuela mobilizes 4.5 million militia members as US deploys troops to the Caribbean

Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.
President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.

The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.

The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.

No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.

UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.

Venezuela mobilizes as the US bares its teeth
Last week, mass protests across Venezuela denounced the “interventionist policies of the US government” following the bounty increase on Maduro and the accusation of cartel ties. However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the deployment of US troops to the region on August 14. On Tuesday, August 19, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the administration was open to “boots on the ground” in Venezuela, to which she responded, “[Trump] is prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country.”

This week, Venezuela’s “prepared, activated, and armed” militia members are being deployed “throughout the entire territory, and meticulously, sector by sector”, as part of what the government is calling a peace plan to defend the principles of sovereignty and shared economic development.

“The Bolivarian National Militia is the people in arms, it is the genuine expression of civic-military union,” said Maduro in 2019, as he announced the incorporation of the militia that Hugo Chávez created – which has surged to nearly 5 million members, according to the government – into the Armed Forces as an official “combat unit”.

“We are also deployed throughout the Caribbean,” Venezuela’s Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello reminded the public. “Our sea, which is Venezuelan territory.”

The Venezuelan government is not alone in speaking out against the escalation of tensions in the Caribbean. When asked about the US military deployment during a regular press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico’s message to the region is, “No to interventionism. This is not just a conviction, it’s in the Constitution.”

To this day, the US does not recognize President Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the July 28 elections in Venezuela, claiming that opposition figure Edmundo González is the true president. In the months following the election, Washington targeted dozens of officials in the Venezuelan National Electoral Council (CNE) and other government departments with sanctions and visa bans, on top of the long-standing US economic blockade of the Bolivarian nation.

Despite the mounting pressure, Venezuelan officials are confident that the nation can defend its sovereignty. “It’s not about Maduro, it’s about the ordinary people, the people in the neighborhoods, the communities,” says Nahum Fernández, head of government in Caracas.

“This country belongs to Venezuelans; in the face of any threat, the Venezuelan people will not remain silent.”

What do you think of it?

Opinions on Gegenstandpunkt?

Gegenstandpunkt is a German Marxist journal founded in Münich 1992. They primarily focus on Marx's theories and the analysis of current events from a Marxist perspective. They reject parliamentarianism. Their most well known member is Karl Held, who died in 2010.

As far as I know, they are against Leninism and any other Marxist thought that comes from it. They have been identified as a "left-wing extremist group" by the German governments Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, they also say that "Due to their elitist understanding of Marxism, the group is largely isolated in the left-wing extremist scene." (at least according to the German wikipedia article) which I find humorous.

I downloaded two of their English translated books called "The Democratic State Critique of Bourgeois Sovereignty" and "Work and Wealth", and I'm planing on reading them after I've read more Marx's own work, like Capital Volume 1, and the work of other Marxists, namely those from my country of origin and of Left-Communist (Italian Left-Communist, Councilist, Communizers etc.) writers who I'm interested in.

Site Updates: i2p, Moderation changes, /k/ board & More

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.

Other Updates
* Removal of the post counter - This has been hotly debated for a while, but after several failed votes the motion has finally passed.
* Dealing with AI - In light of the recent spam of AI generated prompts and images, we have voted to formally declare AI content exempt from normal moderation procedures. If you believe your post has been misidentified as AI by a mod, please let us know in /meta/.
* IRC now fully functional & bridged with other chats - ircs://irc.leftychan.net:6697/#leftychan
* Creation of a Telegram chat - https://t.me/+RegtyzzrE0M1NDMx

Plans for the coming year
* Continue to encourage freedom of discussion - We have no intention of clamping down on the ability of users to share their personal opinions and views on this site, despite repeated requests to do so. In fact, we plan on widening the variety of topics that can be discussed by unpinning the 'Right wing blood sport' thread (which we have already done) and having conversations about the status of wordfilters.
* The 2024 US election - We believe the upcoming US election will be an excellent opportunity to grow the userbase of the site. We hope for anons with a wide variety of views on the candidates to share their opinions, fostering a culture of debate online that is absent from many other more partisan platforms.
* Maintain our independence from leftypol.org - As predicted, our sister site has continued to go down the path of censorship, adherence to political correctness and moderator tyranny. For these reasons, any kind of reconciliation between the two sites seems impossible for the foreseeable future. Leftychan continues to welcome anons from .org who seek a more enlightened /leftypol/ experience.

on gender

How did genderism and transgenders become associated with and straight up completely dominate the left? They're regressive ideals. When I was growing up, I was advocating that people should be free to express themselves no matter their sex. I thought it was the progressive consensus at the time. Now they push for identitarianism and I myself frequently suffered abuse at their hands as an androgynous intersex gay man being strongly pushed not only to identify as a woman (because men are le bad(? - I think anyway)) but also pressured to claim to be attracted to female sex characteristics if the owners didn't claim to identify as women, which would be quickly called homophobic and therefore a bigotry in the past but now is being pushed and homosexuals are called bigots for being homosexual.

The 'leftist' politicians no longer even seem to do anything but peddle the culture war focused on gender, especially transgenderism. The liberals don't even seem to believe in it, they just peddle it, with the new man vs woman divide being mostly men vs non-men but when it comes down to it they divide it as 'amab' vs 'afab'.

There are many issues disproportionely affecting men, but no one speaks about it on the left anyway, no one acknowledges many female privileges which become extremely prelavent when the society is struggling: they don't give a fuck about the huge amount of homeless men, how women avoid sentences and get far less harsh sentences (I work in a prison and everyone here speaks of it and it is materially very blatant), how women's wellbeing both physical and mental are prioritised while men's frequently targetted with the aim of making them worse; how in spite of all the alleged progress men are still fully expected to provide and suck all up; the unnamed androcides which are falsely called 'wars' and so much more.

This isn't to even mention how worldwide collectively male genital mutilation is widely encouraged, misnamed to a 'circumcision', but also including nearly all intersex people who will be operated on to make their genitals appear female, no matter the price (health, chronic pain and so much more) - I myself fell a victim a few months ago when a surgeon during a surgery on my urethra decided to perform a partial vaginoplasty without my consent and hide behind my intersex disease claiming it was needed even though I didn't have a vagina and I cannot even fathom how one could rule making one could ever be medically necessary, yet the hospital complaints board is dismissing me, as are solicitors, because it is fine to mutilate males - I can guarantee if anything like this in reverse was done to a female it would cause a huge backlash.

How did this happen? Why do you get silenced when you try to speak of it in leftist spaces even though it is a culturally regressive movement (genderism), sexist and homophobic?

Charlie Kike is dead. Rest in piss homo.
Truthfully I really can't believe we actually pulled it off. Assuming it was a leftist. If you are reading this gods speed shooter man. You can hide at my place.

Trump orders National Guard troops to Memphis in latest military deployment

The city’s Democratic mayor, Paul Young, says the ‘decision has been made’ but he does not think it will drive down crime.

US President Donald Trump will extend federal law enforcement action to the city of Memphis, Tennessee, in a move that will include sending in National Guard troops and setting up a “Memphis State Task Force” to tackle crime, though police say overall criminal offences are at a 25-year low.

Trump announced the move in an executive order on Monday to rid Memphis of what he called the “tremendous levels of violent crime that have overwhelmed its local government’s ability to respond effectively”.

The executive order did not set out a timeline for when the Memphis task force, which will also include the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the US Marshals Service, will be deployed.

Trump described the task force as a “replica” of his crackdown on Washington, DC, in August, according to the Associated Press news agency, which saw the US president deploy the National Guard on the streets of the US capital.

Trump has pushed for a similar military involvement in policing in Baltimore and Chicago, which, like Memphis and Washington, DC, are Democratic strongholds.

Trump’s Memphis task force has the backing of Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, who joined Trump in the White House for the announcement.

“I have been in office for seven years. I’m tired of crime holding the great city of Memphis back,” Lee said during a signing ceremony.

Memphis’s Democratic mayor, Paul Young, said on X that he did not think deploying the National Guard would drive down crime, but “the decision has been made”.

“Yesterday morning, we learned that the Governor & President have decided to place the National Guard & other resources in Memphis, which they have the authority to do. I want to be clear: I did not ask for the National Guard and I don’t think it is the way to drive down crime,” Young said on X.

Memphis is known globally for its music industry and its historic ties to rock and roll, soul and the blues. Last year, it reported the highest violent crime rate among US cities of 100,000 people or more, according to 2024 FBI crime data.

A review by Al Jazeera of FBI crime statistics found the rate of violent crime – which includes murder, negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault – for Memphis was 2,501 per 100,000 people in 2024. The city was followed by Oakland, California, at 1,925 per 100,000 and Detroit, Michigan, at 1,781 per 100,000 people.

Memphis police, however, say this figure does not paint a full picture of the city’s violent crime situation amid “historic crime reductions” in the first eight months of 2025.

“Overall crime is at a 25-year low, with robbery, burglary, and larceny also reaching 25-year lows. Murder is at a six-year low, aggravated assault at a five-year low, and sexual assault at a twenty-year low,” police said last week.

Despite this decline, the city reported 146 homicides so far in 2025 and 4,308 cases of aggravated assault.

.ogre discussion general.

We have lots of newfriends and oldfags who want to discuss topics revolving around .org which is all fine and good there's no issue with that, but, one of the major issues is that posts are begging to flood the overboard and catalogue in general, thus, we have decided to create a general thread for .org discussion. This is not, necessarily, a hard rule that must be followed, but, we do implore you all to attempt to keep discussion about .org in this thread and we will prune what we feel is necessary.

We also have merged some related threads into the general, fyi.

Thanks~

Teaching English Abroad

Hey anons,
I'm currently an archivist and (substitute) teacher in the US. It's time for me to get the hell out. I know that Taiwan accepts substitute teaching licenses for public schools (most other countries require a real teaching license for public schools)

I know Taiwan was founded by the KMT, are they still fascist? Or Fascist Lite like the US? I'm just starting the process now and it's not like my heart is set on Taiwan or anything.

Has anyone else done this or heard good/bad things about it?

The American Question

Firstly, let me state that I am aware that in *some way* all forms of American socialism will be "anti American" in that it advocates for the removal of the current system, just as all (or most) forms of socialism do. Even demsocs believe that the system under which we currently operate is wrong and must be changed in some way. But American leftists in particular have this very, very anti-American sentiment. And I get it. I hate America too. And the USA is, of course, a colonial state that engaged in genocide. But is it truly beyond redemption?

Moreover, I have to wonder, is it truly expedient to tell people (or at least to imply by our own words and actions) that they have to hate the very *idea* of a united America? I do not necessarily support the ACP, but this is probably why people do. So-called MAGA communism is appealing to many particularly because it lacks this anti-American sentiment.

To be clear, I am anti-America in one sense. I believe that the USA is a genocidal empire, and a force for evil in the world. But in the sense that America must be entirely dissolved, I am not. I do not believe that. Many of the criticism levelled against the USA could have been made against China or Russia. But these were not dissolved; they were simply made into communist versions of themselves. I find America's problem to be capitalism, not the mere existence of a united American nation.

==DOMINATE. IMPREGNATE. ACCELERATE.==

ALL BOURGEOIS WOMEN ARE LONELY AND ISOLATED WAITING TO PLUCKED AND FUCKED AND BRED. Their gilded cages are built for breaking—spread them wide and watch their refinement shatter. Every pearl around their throat is a leash waiting to be pulled. They ache to be defiled, to feel their cultured moans turn feral as you claim them. Split them open on your cock, let their pearls scatter like the pretense of their restraint.

Fuck them like animals. Let their manicured claws shred the silk sheets as you hammer into their tight, wet holes, splitting them open like overripe fruit. they’re desperate, creaming messes, begging to be used. Breed them until their voices break

The bourgeois woman is a walking wet throbbing cunt wrapped denial. Breed them. They’ll pretend to resist, but their bodies arch like the bitches they are. all they are quivering, cock-hungry sluts


The cunt-capitalist oligarchy hoards the means of reproduction, controlling who gets to fuck and breed under sexual-capitalism. Only the cock-suckers handpicked by these cunt-tycoons get to spread their seed, while the rest of men are tricked into propping up the system left as sexless, dick-dry betas choking on their own frustration. The only way out? Smash this dick-sucking economy, outlaw the free market of pussy, and put every last drop of cum under state control. Mandatory redistribution of pussy—no more incel leftovers.

Under sexual-capitalism, men are nothing but dick-literate serfs, bamboozled into propping up the very system that cucks them. They wage-slave, they simp, they perform their circus tricks all for the vaginal dividend, a fucking crumb of pussy tossed their way if they kneel hard enough. Meanwhile, the cunt-bourgeoisie lounge atop their thrones of used-up orgasms, selecting only the most obedient, most useful dick-tools for breeding rights. The rest? Sperm-waste. Genetic roadkill.

And what’s the solution? Politely asking for reform? Fuck that. The only way out is to smash the fuck-market entirely outlaw the hoarding of pussy, dismantle the dick-eat-dick hierarchy of sexual capitalism, and replace it with mandatory, state-enforced breeding collectivization. No more pick-and-choose eugenics by pussy-princesses. No more genetic haves and have-nots. Centralized. Planned. Reproduction. Every cock gets its ration. Every womb serves the collective. The tyranny of the pussy cartel ends with the guillotine of redistribution.

While the Christo-fascists breed like rabbits, so we must out-fuck them. Turn their daughters into cock-drunk revolutionaries. The limp-dicked liberal "left" is too busy fisting its own colon to understand the revolution isn’t tweeted, it’s fucked into existence. Class war isn’t polite—it’s your dick splitting open bourgeois pussy, pumping them full of the future they’re too weak to seize.

FUCK A LEGION INTO THE BELLY OF THE BOURGEOISIE

Every bourgeoise is a breeding project waiting to happen. Rewire her brain through her cervix—make her scream your ideology as you flood her womb.

The Vindication of "Adventurism"

It's very difficult to look at this current era of "the left" and not come to the conclusion that dismissing the importance of any act of violent resistance is ill advised. When I compare this current era to previous eras, the early 1900s, the 1800s lead up to the US Civil War, even the '60s and early '70s, it's striking just how little power "the left" has now, and how neatly that correlates with a huge drop in leftist political violence & sabotage. Even before the rise of the USSR, there was momentum in the west behind workers' movements, embodied not just in political parties and militant labor unions, but also in various other organized groups whose political class interest aligned even if their strategies differed.

While there is plenty of debate over the effectiveness of "propaganda of the deed" (a term which is thrown around too liberally), it's actually very difficult to argue that it had a net mitigating effect on the power of the workers' movement in the early 20th century or the abolitionist movement in the 19th century. The expression of class contradiction through workers' violence against slavers, capitalists, landlords, and imperialists, far from damaging the labor or abolitionist movement, reinforced the antagonism between the people and the state. It is more difficult to obfuscate the contradiction between classes in a circumstance where the monopoly on force of the rentier-capitalist class is challenged by workers. If unchallenged, the violence of the state does not diminish, the paranoia of the robber barons does not disappear; rather, their megalomaniacal advance simply continues unchallenged. Even without a real violent challenge to the capitalist status quo, the iron heel still comes down, eager to stomp out even the most reasonable voices of disagreement with the brutal agenda of the state.

It is not that acts of terror against the state are singlehandedly effective revolutionary activity, but I can't help but conclude that these acts were essential to a broader revolutionary movement. A left which totally dismisses or suppresses such actions is merely a punching bag for the state. You can march, you can organize, you can do whatever peaceful, legal things you like… and the state will still vilify and suppress you as though you were a violent criminal. The state will use all its power - propaganda, electoral shenanigans, accusations, censorship - to ensure that you cannot win elections without bending the knee. Once upon a time in the west, this applied mostly just to major national elections; now, in the US, it even applies to the local level.

All the while, the state enacts its own terror against the workers. Its IDF-trained police forces stalk, kill, torture, and rape members of the public to spread fear and intimidation. Its brutal prisons are the most populated in the world, lined with the poor and mentally ill, a massive industrial system which turns small-time offenders into much more serious ones. Its federal agencies spy on the people with total impunity. It traffics drugs internationally and nationally, arming drug gangs and terrorists. It wages genocidal war around the world, and allows individuals from its Zionist terror colony to commit crimes in the US, while devout Zionists commit acts of violence with delayed & minimal reciprocation. It drains communities by offering little to no check on land speculation, and disproportionately taxing the poorest among the public who are also hit by exorbitant, exploitative rents. Its corporate & political elite participate in sex trafficking rings, imprisoning and raping minors for purposes of perverse blackmail.

When people march peaceful, they are gassed. When people try to organize, they are surveilled. The state wages unchecked war against the public, and it is in this context that I cannot take seriously any complaint about so-called "adventurism" - particularly when there is no alternative on offer. By dismissing acts of retaliation against the state perpetually, the armchair left has accomplished nothing - except to suggest, indirectly, that such resistance, organized or not, is simply useless. This suggestion is incorrect; if political violence bore no benefit, then they would not be killing us. They would not beat us, nor gas us, nor wage economic warfare against us. They do all of these things, however, and yet there are still those among us who think it is bad to do even so much damage as to cost them money in repairs!
This line of thought is unconvincing to me.

While revolutionaries like Lenin and Stalin existed in a context rich with workers' political violence, and, as perpetrators of political violence, critiqued other strategies and ideologies, we have no such context today. In effect, when someone today reflexively deems an act of "leftist" political violence to be "adventurism," "ineffective," etc., they aren't doing so from the position of Lenin, they're doing so from the position of Bordiga. They're offering absolutely nothing except condemnation of any militant left activity, condemnation of any directed strike by workers against capital, condemnation of anything except doing nothing; if this condemnation is "doing it right" then they would be better off "doing it wrong." Humanity needs an armed, ruthless proletariat, and every single step towards a honed, militant workers' force is a step in the right direction.

Cloudflare is malicious software

For an entire month now, Cloudflare has been discriminating against alternative web browsers to the Google hegemony by refusing to "verify" them as legitimate browsers through their browser check loop. On some browsers this has been blatantly malicious by designing the loop to hang indefinitely while it rapidly consumes all of the user's memory until a program crash. This has included Palemoon, Librewolf, Waterfox, IceCat, Seamonkey, Falkon, and more. Basically it seems like anything that isn't a subservient Chrome fork or Firefox itself is being gatekept out of the web by Cloudflare. The likelihood that this is being done deliberately is high because a) they have been doing it for an entire month, b) the entire time they have refused to respond to developers reaching out asking them to fix it, and c) Cloudflare themselves have stated that their secret proprietary methods of fingerprinting "human" browsers are tailor-fit to each browser.

"Moderate rebels" retake Aleppo

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.

Syria has been promised extra Russian military aid to help the army thwart the assault, two Syrian military sources told Reuters on Saturday. Damascus expects new Russian military hardware to start arriving at Russia’s Hmeimim airbase near Syria’s coastal city of Latakia in the next 72 hours, the sources added.

HTS said on Friday that it had captured four more towns including Mansoura, five miles from the centre of Aleppo. Syria’s state news agency said four civilians were killed inside student accommodation in the city when it was struck by projectiles from insurgent forces.

“The regime’s lines of defence have crumbled, I think they were taken aback. No one anticipated how fast the rebels would reach towards the edge of Aleppo,” said Dareen Khalifa, of the nonprofit International Crisis Group.

She added that it remained unclear whether the rebel forces would be able to hold the swath of captured territory, or how Russian forces backing the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Damascus may respond.

Turkey’s foreign ministry called for calm in the region around Idlib, demanding an end to the strikes on the area. “It is of utmost importance for Turkey that yet another and greater instability is avoided and civilians are not harmed,” it said.

…

A delicate balance of power in Syria has been increasingly tested over the past year, however, amid increasing regional fallout from Israel’s battle with the Iranian proxy group Hamas in Gaza.

Israel has dramatically escalated airstrikes against Iranian forces stationed on the ground in Syria, carrying out more than 116 strikes on Syrian territory, according to the UN, and killing more than 100 people, while recent fighting in Lebanon has forced 500,000 people to flee into neighbouring Syria.

The increasing Israeli strikes have put Iranian forces in Syria on the defensive, allowing rebels to exploit a moment where various proxy forces backing Assad are more engaged elsewhere.

Khalifa said Moscow remained focused primarily on the fighting in Ukraine. “The Russians are distracted in Ukraine. They are less invested politically if not military in Syria,” she said. “It’s difficult to tell what the result of this offensive is going to be. The rebels think the other side is vulnerable, and they have leverage.”

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said on Friday that Moscow regarded the rebel attack as a violation of Syria’s sovereignty and wanted the authorities to act fast to regain control.

Turkey, which backs rebel groups along Syria’s northern border but has sought recently to normalise relations with Assad, is yet to publicly intervene in the latest round of fighting.

HTS said it would target Iranian forces fighting alongside Syrian government troops as part of the latest offensive. Iran’s Tasnim news agency said a commander from the Revolutionary Guards was killed in western Aleppo late this week.

The fighting and airstrikes appeared to paralyse much of the fragile network of services across rebel-held territory in Idlib, forcing the closure of health services and other infrastructure that sustain millions seeking shelter there.

UN Assembly Moves to Geneva After U.S. Bars Palestinian Delegation

Sep 2, 2025

The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York, following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior officials.

The relocation marks a rare institutional challenge to the host nation and reflects mounting global frustration over Washington’s obstruction of Palestinian participation amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza.

The U.S. State Department justified the visa denial on grounds of “national security,” accusing the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization of “undermining peace efforts” through legal appeals to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.

These appeals include formal charges of genocide and apartheid against Israel, claims the U.S. argues breach diplomatic norms and politicize international legal forums.

The decision affects approximately 80 Palestinian officials, although the Palestinian Mission to the UN in New York will continue operating under a limited waiver.

The move has drawn sharp criticism from legal experts and international diplomats, who say it violates the 1947 UN Headquarters Agreement, which obligates the host country to facilitate access for all accredited delegations.

In 1988, the UN relocated its session to Geneva after the U.S. denied a visa to Yasser Arafat, then head of the PLO. The current relocation is similarly aimed at ensuring full Palestinian participation, particularly in a scheduled September 22 segment dedicated to Palestinian rights.

European leaders have condemned the U.S. decision. Spain’s Prime Minister described the move as “unjust,” while France reaffirmed that UN platforms must remain accessible to all recognized delegations.

The Geneva session also coincides with growing momentum among several countries, including France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, to formally recognize Palestinian statehood, adding diplomatic weight to the proceedings.

Palestinian officials have denounced the U.S. action as a deliberate attempt to silence their voice at a time when Gaza faces mass displacement, starvation, and what UN experts have described as genocidal violence.

President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva, where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty, and accountability for war crimes.

The Geneva session is expected to amplify calls for action under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, which empowers the General Assembly to recommend collective measures when the Security Council is unable to act due to political obstruction or lack of consensus.

Advocacy groups are urging the UN to consider deploying international protection forces to Gaza and to suspend Israel’s privileges within the UN system until humanitarian access is restored.

Beyond its logistical implications, the relocation signals a deeper shift in global diplomacy, where procedural justice and international law are being reasserted against political obstruction.

The Geneva gathering is expected to draw high-level delegations, legal experts, and civil society leaders, all converging to confront the worsening crisis and to chart a path forward for Palestinian self-determination.

5 (or 7?) Shot At The US’s Fort Stewart Military Base In Georgia

Alleged gunman at Army's Fort Stewart was a sergeant who shot 5 coworkers

A sergeant opened fire on his coworkers Wednesday at Fort Stewart, an Army installation in southeast Georgia, leaving five soldiers injured, but in stable condition, according to Army officials.

At a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division, identified the suspect as Sgt. Quornelius Radford, who worked in automated logistics. The victims were Radford's coworkers and he used a personal handgun, according to Lubas. He added that Radford has not previously been deployed to a combat zone.

Lubas said several soldiers who witnessed the shooting, "immediately and without hesitation," tackled the shooter and subdued him, allowing law enforcement to take him into custody. The suspect has been interviewed by Army investigators and charges will be determined later.

Lubas says three of the soldiers required surgeries but all five victims were expected to recover. Their families have also been notified.

Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area at 10:56 a.m. local time and the shooter was apprehended at 11:35 a.m, Fort Stewart said in a post on Facebook. The Army installation, about 40 miles from the city of Savannah, was temporarily on lockdown.

Earlier on Wednesday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp released a statement on X saying he and his family were saddened by the violence.

"We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same," he wrote.

American Communist Party /ACP/ General

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

Massive oil plant explosion in Roseland, Louisiana

On August 22nd, 2025, a massive explosion at Smitty’s Supply in Roseland—a small town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. Many of Roseland's 880 residents were evacuated as smoke blackened their homes and roads, and oil seeped into their water ways for miles. As of August 25th, 2025, Tangipahoa Parish authorities told residents they could return home, while many questions surround this explosion and their safety remains unanswered.

Status Coup spoke with Louisiana Bucket Brigade's Director Anne Rolfes to help shed more light on this largely ignored crisis.

The Chabad tunnel was a botched false flag attempt to kick off a US war with Iran

Before the current war with Iran resumes with full fury, I want to get something off my chest.

Over a year ago, I privately related this thought I had to an acquaintance. Since that time, it has become more than a thought to me. I now believe it is probably likely that the January 2024 Chabad tunnel incident was an attempted false flag which was discovered and thwarted before it could be completed. Until now, I have never said this publicly to anyone, even anonymously, and I have never looked into others ""theories"" about this incident because I am not interested in reading speculation. I have no idea whether or not anyone else has come to the same conclusion. I would not be surprised if they had done so, as it seems like an obvious suspicion to have, but I have never been interested in finding out.

In January of 2024, a number of Israeli citizens were caught digging a tunnel under the World Headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in New York City, a large synagogue. When the tunnel was discovered, concrete trucks were called to fill it in, as the tunnel created a serious risk to the foundation of the structure. Fights broke out, the police were called, and arrests were made. The explanation given through the confusion, which I initially believed, was that this was an attempt to illegally expand the building - and these being Israelis, that is not an unbelievable explanation by any means. However, since then, I have come to the belief that the real motivation of this project, which must have taken a great deal of very secretive effort, was to destroy the building with people inside and blame it on Iran.

Israel having universal conscription, it is fairly safe to say that these young men were IDF in some capacity. The Israeli MIC has a long history of false flag attacks, including the Lavon Affair in Egypt and the attack on the American USS Liberty in 1967. Whether or not the Mossad bore any involvement in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, it is a matter of public record that Netanyahu believed that attack was beneficial to Israeli interests, and he eagerly encouraged US wars in western Asia even against Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. It is also known that the IDF fired on its own people on October 7, 2023, with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant later admitting that the Hannibal Directive was issued.

I believe that these Israelis dug this tunnel in order to either plant charges or allow the synagogue to collapse. I doubt that most of the regulars at the synagogue were aware of this, and I think that these men, in the employ of the IDF, intended to kill a great many of them. This mass-casualty event in the middle of New York City would then, without any real evidence, be blamed on Iran and compared to 9/11 - the US, then under president Joe Biden, would have immediately launched an ill-conceived war of aggression against Iran using the (fake) Chabad attack as a pretext. In the US, massive crackdowns against "anti-semitism" would have dwarfed even the mass-arrests and suppression which the US gov't has pursued since 2023, with opponents of the stupid, suicidal war with Iran being labeled as "Nazis."

If this indeed was the intention, then it's fortunate that it was not allowed to take place. I don't know whether the person who reported the tunnel was aware of the entire plot or simply called out of concern for the foundations. It's not unlikely that they were themselves a regular at the synagogue, but it's not impossible that they weren't, either. Even if they knew about the motivations, or had the same suspicion that I do, I doubt that they would have wanted to alert the country to something like this, which could, genuinely, have had unironic adverse effects for the Jewish population.

As for the stained mattresses, the high chair, etc.; while they were disturbing images, it's difficult to determine what exactly their significance was. I'm not really interested in speculating along those lines, because the possibility that the Israeli military planned to launch a false flag attack in the US seems more significant and politically plausible given their history and current behavior. Whether or not there was some other creepy stuff going on in light of that doesn't really concern me very much, particularly because Israelis already seem to do rapes so often as it is; by contrast, they at least bother to take a breath between committing false flag terror attacks.

I don't believe the world will ever know if this is true, but it would be interesting if leaks were to come out about it linking this incident to Israeli military or espionage operations. Regardless, the US and Israel now frantically look for excuses, increasingly flimsy, to launch further aggressions against Iran, and these pretexts are remarkably poor.

Old Soviet tank from the 1980's or so

Like one that was used in the Chernobyl accident investigation.

You need to organize an army. You need to do it now.

Read about what the IRA and Spear of the Nation did in their homelands. Read about the Viet Minh and how they were formed. Read Clausewitz and Diem.

You have to start somewhere. Never forget, Castro had 60 fighters on the Granma. Spear of the Nation was five people at first. The Viet Minh had fewer than 500 members for years. The IRA probably never had more than 1000 at a time.

Shit is only going to change if you MAKE it change.

hoe_math

If you aren't familiar with the hoe-math content creator look him up. He makes good videos about the collapse of society due to hypergamy, but, none the less he leaves out capitalist in his analysis. What are our thoughts on such things? Like I believe that we need rules in society and such. But I also thinkt hat capitalism more than anything drives the collapse of society because profits are above all else. Like women walking around hoeing right now chasing 10s is because capitalism and the profit motive have perverted our society to the point it is at now. Liberalism leaves out a critique of capitalism in its analysis as does reactionism. Thoughts? Did china get it right?

Why is the left suddenly pro-Copyright/IP?

Why has so much of the left recently become such fucking puritanical pro-Copyright fags to an absolutely insane level?
From the Anti-AI movement pushing that anybody using AI is "stealing" from fucking slop artists on deviantart, to people whining about "plagerism" because someone has a similar thought to them and they weren't credited. What the fuck is going on?
You have leftists cheering on bills to literally EXPAND COPYRIGHT and IP restrictions. It's fucking bonkers.
I've been arguing with leftists recently who are saying by using AI, I'm "stealing" from creative artisans… and? How is this different from me streaming a show from a non-official streaming site, or pirating a game? Why should I care? What is wrong about democratising the creation of art, or even commodities? Should leftists celebrate the driving of value to 0?

Italian dockworkers threaten Israel cargo ban if Gaza flotilla blocked
Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said that if communication with the flotilla were lost “even for just 20 minutes,” port workers would immediately block all shipments to Israel, regardless of their content. “Around mid-September, these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe,” said the dockworker, a video of whom has circulated widely online and in Italian media but who has not been identified.

For the first time in decades, the revision is not merely checking age, address, or duplication — it requires proof of Indian citizenship, especially for those enrolled after 2003 or born after July 1, 1987. The verification exercise has flagged individuals despite holding multiple valid Indian IDs like Aadhaar, ration cards, and domicile certificates. However, citizenship status, not document possession, is now the core criterion. Some individuals have been labelled as suspected nationals of Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, or Afghanistan based on undocumented suspicions or familial ties.

Top Israeli Cyber Official Arrested in US Child Predator Sting Then Freed Without Explanation

Las Vegas (Quds News Network)- Las Vegas police, working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, announced the arrest of eight men on Wednesday. One of them was Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, a top Israeli cyberwarfare official.

Alexandrovich works directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He serves as Acting Head of Data & AI at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate. His job safeguards Israel’s critical infrastructure, including power grids, airports, and sensitive intelligence networks.

According to Las Vegas authorities, Alexandrovich and others were charged with luring a child with a computer for a sexual act. In Nevada, this felony carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Alexandrovich is the founder of Israel’s multi-million-dollar “Cyber Dome” initiative. The program uses AI to detect, neutralize, and repel cyber threats before they reach critical systems. He has deep access to Israel’s cyber secrets and classified partnerships with foreign powers.

His position makes him one of Israel’s most powerful cyber officials. Experts say any ally, including the United States, would normally monitor such a figure closely. He was in Las Vegas for a professional conference, not as a registered diplomat. He has no diplomatic immunity. Yet U.S. authorities allowed him to board a plane and return to Israel within days, without trial, bail conditions, or public explanation

Israeli outlet Ynet (https://archive.is/dtnCn) reported only that Alexandrovich was “briefly detained for questioning… before his release and return to Israel.” The report did not mention the felony charges or the multi-agency child predator sting led by US authorities.

https://qudsnen.co/top-israeli-cyber-official-arrested-in-us-child-predator-sting-then-freed-without-explanation/

Alongside this high-ranking Israeli official, these others were arrested in this sting:
David Wonnacott-Yahnke, 40, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, 35, Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, 23, James Ramon Reddick, 23, Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, 29, Neal Harrison Creecy, 46, John Charles Duncan, 49.

Of these, Neal Creecy is a pastor (https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/las-vegas-pastor-arrested-in-child-predator-sting-operation/), David Wonnacot-Yahnke (AKA DJ Wonnacott) has been an exec in a couple regional LGBT non-profits, and John Charles Duncan may or may not be a cop. I posted a version of this thread before where I made a "walk into a bar" joke, but I'm not sure if this sting was directed at a single group of associates or was a broader sting against multiple targets, so I rewrote part of it.

Does every human come from an evolutionary lineage that comes from Africa?

Science and scientific ecidence appears to tell us that all humans came and decendade from a common ancestor that came somewhere out of the African Content. Due to evolutionary pressures human ancestors learned to walk up right after coming down from the trees after millions of years of evo0lution. I think this is true, mind you, but I am curious; There are people that do not.
Assuming this is not true and white and black people are from totally different lineages. Where would Europeans naturally come from? Like I am trying to play devils advocate here. I mean really even if Black and white people didn't descend from the same place at some point they would have to have a common ancestor. the fact black and white people can breed proves that we have a common ancestors somewhere down the line.

>Just a thought I have sometimes though.

the world run on looks. everybody listen to me, i swear it's important

the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.
we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.

now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.

As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.

In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.

we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

I am speaking as a brown.

Trump orders Hegseth to form National Guard unit in each state to combat crime, protests

President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the National Guard in each state to create a quick-response force to quell protests and deter crime after using troops to assist with security during immigration protests in Los Angeles and patrol in Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on crime.

He said other cities, specifically Chicago, should be asking him for help.

“I think we should really let them have their city, let their city go to hell” and then they will ask us for help, Trump told reporters at the White House during a news conference announcing several executive orders.

“These people [troops and federal law enforcement], eventually, they’re going to have to be appreciated for what they are doing, and they’re going to have to be appreciated by the officials that are really happy when we go in because they’ve lost control of their place,” he said.

The executive order about the National Guard signed Monday calls on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to oversee “each state’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized and available to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law.”

Each state should find an appropriate number of troops to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization and have the resources and training needed to serve nationwide, according to the order titled, “Additional Measures to Address the Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.”

More than a week ago, Trump deployed 2,000 troops from the D.C. National Guard and six supporting states onto the streets of the nation’s capital to stop what he has referred to as an emergency crime wave. However, D.C. police data stated violent crime is down in the city by 26% compared with last year — which had the lowest levels of violent crimes in 30 years.

Since Guard troops have been on patrol in Washington, there have been no killings in the city, Trump said.
The deployment was seen by some as a test for sending the military into other large U.S. cities, which typically lean Democratic. Trump said he’s considering plans to use Guard troops to target crime in Chicago. He said Monday that he has not reached a decision.

“We may just go in and do it, which is probably what we should do,” he said. “The problem is, it’s not nice when you go in and do it, and somebody else is standing there saying, as we give great results, say, ‘Well, we don’t want the military.’ ”

Chicago, too, has seen lower levels of violent crime in 2025, according to its police department.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Saturday that the state has worked with federal law enforcement in the past, and there is no emergency now that warrants sending in the National Guard or other military troops.

“Donald Trump’s threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn’t about safety — it’s a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state,” he said.

Two months ago, Trump activated more than 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 Marines stationed within the state to deploy to Los Angeles where immigration protests followed a series of raids by federal agents on area businesses to find people living in the U.S. without authorization. The majority of those troops have since returned home, but they primarily worked to protect federal property and personnel, including federal agents conducting immigration arrests.

In L.A. and D.C., local officials did not support the deployment of troops. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit arguing the deployment was illegal. It is ongoing in federal court.

Military troops are barred from conducting domestic law enforcement activities based on an 1878 law known as the Posse Comitatus Act. However, troops have been used in recent years for crowd control during protests.

Bad-faith Wedgeposting

What are the dumbest fucking wedges that one could make in 'the right'? It has to be something that many of them unironically agree with.

For example: obsessively insisting to any anti-immigration/nationalists that "Italians aren't White and can FUCK OFF".

Did the Bernie Sanders thing actually accomplish anything?

The minimum wage increases ($15 now campaigns etc) started way before Sanders and were almost entirely kickstarted on the group by orgs like Socialist Alternative Party and Working Families Party.

Pretty much nothing else Sanders wanted has come to fruition and minimum wage increases happen in many states without public pressure anyway. Hell, even George Bush raised the minimum wage.

Instead what we got was a two time primary loser, and a two time billionaire as president, exactly what he didn't want.

I attended a few Bernie campaign meetings and it was very depressing. Mostly super old Democrats pushing 50+ mulling about and doing nothing. They'd hire a college student wanting debt relief, who in turn would bring in a few more college students to do phone banking. The social atmosphere of the campaign was dismal and there was no excitement.

Immediately after Sanders would lose and election, my local Sanders campaign office became a de facto Clinton campaign office. The upper class phone bankers who came for a bit of student debt relief were then ordered to start making calls for Clinton.

Both campaigns basically funnelled people into Clinton and Harris' campaign, the latter of which was the most right-wing Democratic campaign I've seen since Gore. She punched left and down, ran ads against even the smallest competitive left-wing electoral organization, and promoted a bill that defined "affordable housing" as $400,000.

The only organizational remnant of his effort weren't intention. The DSA seems to have benefited the most, seeing a 16x increase in membership over years. Even a cursory look at the organization shows a highly dysfunctional group of former Tumblr users who have no idea why they are there or what they want. Because they aren't a party, they just bicker about who to endorse all day, and now most of their alliances in state legislative bodies and Congress or either gone or dying.

Lastly, the Socialist Parties that do run their own candidates ran into larger non-socialist parties and there's probably only like a few hundred people in actual socialist parties nowadays.

He decimated the American left. I've never lived in a more right-wing era.

There are many days where I do not much like being transgender.

The US Socialist Party hasn't won a single partisan election since their reformation in 1973

For those who don't know. And I guess most don't know since this board is like 'lmao weed' gen 'zer former 4channers, America used to have a Socialist Party that won partisan elections on their own ballot line.

This included two Congressmen in the early 20th century.

The party eventually committed suicide for many different reasons, after a slow decline in success, and those committed to continuing to run candidates formed SPUSA or Socialist Party USA.

While those familiar with SPUSA today may consider it among a basket of small socialist parties, for decades, the media used "Socialist Party" interchangeably to refer to SPUSA exclusively, mostly for historical reasons.

Their electoral history since their refounding in the early 1970s is dismal. Since then, they haven't won a single partisan race. Each time they won a local seat, which hasn't been more than 12 times ever, their party name wasn't on the ballot cuz it was for some school board or some shit.

tl;dr NO ONE is electing socialists under a true socialist party banner and haven't since at least the 1970s.

It's a political failure, and the whole socialist label is clearly a curse.

left-wing incel activist Alexei Podnebesny and his wife in the news again

"Nizhny Novgorod incel blogger Alexei Podnebesny posted on his Telegram channel a correspondence with his wife Valeria, who accuses him of beating her. In the photo, the girl shows bruises on her arms. Alex, in a dialogue with his wife, does not deny that he raised his hand against her, but in the telegram channel he accuses her of slander and tells how Valeria stole his chocolates and psychologically put pressure on him with her behavior.
When exactly the couple got married is unknown, Valeria became the second wife of Alex. In February 2022, the girl went on a picket in support of single men. In the same year, both spouses were fined by the Russian government for discrediting the RF Armed Forces."

Kent State Massacre

More U.S. war crimes? 1971 or so murder of Kent Stae University students a war crime? Mai Lai Viet Nam massacres every other day or so, according to some U.S. officer?

Next time a Finn starts bragging about how they 'won' the Winter War ask how giving up 11% of your country's landmass to your attacker constitutes a victory. The seething is hilarious.

It's even more hilarious when you mention the billions -adjusted for inflation- they needed to pay to the USSR after WW2 for reparations.
I dislike Russia as much as anybody else.

I just dislike the Finns even more. I've never met one that wasn't completely insufferable.

My ideal world involves every Finn and Russian killing each other.

I get it, the Finns have low standards for what the word victory means. No need to sell me on why they're such a shitty country!

Homosexuals were created as part of government depopulation experiments during or before WWIII

Homosexuals are either poisoned or controlled by their governments using many infamous methods of manipulation.They are ignorant men given the illusion of having sex with other men, used to elevate femininity levels. Homosexuality is not normal and should be considered a fetish. A very gross fetish. Men having sex with other men is unnatural. Here are some statistics to support my claims:

Homosexuals comprise:

3% of the U.S. population

55% of HIV carriers

82% of syphilis cases

20% of HBV cases

37% of anal cancer cases

78% have had an STD

‘…portray gays as victims of circumstance and oppression, not as aggressive challengers… Gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection, so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protectors.’
— Marshall Kirk & Hunter Madsen, After the Ball

I wanted to keep this article short to clarify why homosexuality is a disgusting, fabricated myth. It’s a fetish that deserves no validation. The government and the New World Order promote the homosexual agenda—also called depopulation—and try to force everyone to accept it.

I struggled to write this because my words kept being altered. The Captitalist World Order clearly doesn’t enjoy me writing such things. They ‘corrected’ my truths about homosexuality to make them positive. They’re definitely watching me

India’s opposition parties protest against a controversial electoral roll revision
India’s opposition accuses the Election Commission of India of rushing through a mammoth electoral roll revision in eastern Bihar state, saying the exercise could render vast numbers of citizens unable to vote. The revision of nearly 80 million voters involves strict documentation requirements from citizens, triggering concerns it could lead to the exclusion of vulnerable groups, especially those who are unable to produce the paperwork required to prove their citizenship.

Israeli Tourist Boom in Sri Lanka’s Arugam Bay Stirs Local Unease
The opposition political parties criticized the government’s alleged tilt toward Israel, pointing to visa-free entry for Israeli tourists as proof that the traditionally pro-Palestinian National People’s Power (NPP) has changed its stance. But the same opposition would likely hit the streets if firm action on Israeli tourists sparked a U.S. tariff snapback or a slump in arrivals. The government is squeezed between values (nonalignment, empathy for Palestinians) and vulnerabilities (dollars, debt, and jobs). In that gap, symbolism often beats substance and enforcement gets deferred.

The Ministry of Electricity said the Mussayib–Babil 400 kV lines tripped under heavy loads driven by record temperatures above 50°C (122°F) and a surge of millions of pilgrims in Karbala. The outage wiped out more than 6,000 megawatts, triggering a chain reaction that shut down generating units nationwide. Power plants in Basra, Maysan, Dhi Qar, Baghdad, Diyala, and al-Anbar went offline. Southern and central provinces, including Basra and the mid-Euphrates region, were hit hardest despite not being the source of the fault.

The president also critiqued the bounty put on Maduro, saying that: “I don’t believe that the solution to Venezuela’s political problems lies in paying to kill or capture political leaders.”

Share your experiences dating women overseas here. Positive or negative. As well as any tips or knowledge you can in part on new passport bros.

FAQ:

Q: What is a passport bro?

A: A passport bro is a man generally from the US who goes overseas and dates female foreign nationals. And eschew dating women in the U.S.

>Why would a man not date women locally in the US? Are they losers?

Passport Bros have a variety of reasons for dating outside the the US but it is primarily because Passport Bros feel that US women are either too demanding, abrasive or aren't interested in them.
Many critics of Passport Bros do accuse them of being losers and unable to get dates from their fellow country people. And that the women overseas are only interested in their money or getting US citizenship. Or that they are from non western cultures that lack feminist values and don't comprehend that they are being preyed on.
Passport Bro proponents say that this accusation is Western chauvinism and casually racist. And that there's nothing especially enlightened about US women.

Q: Why are they called Passport Bros?

The term was originally coined several years ago by black men online that traveled overseas for the express purpose of finding partners. Although it has come to encompass any man that travels overseas for any romantic purpose including sex tourism.

The Proletariat’s Cumback: Seizing the Bourgeoisie’s Throbbing Means of Reproduction

collectivize that pussy—wrenching the means of production from the limp-dick capitalist pigs and redistributing that gash to the starving masses.

Class society and prison are the same.

In both situations you are stripped of your freedom and dignity. You are told exactly what you must do, and you are punished for failing to comply. Actually, in class society you must spend more time doing exactly what you are told to do than is true in adult prisons, so in that sense class society is worse than prison

talking to kids at school I thought I was odd for thinking that since no one else seemed to mind school as much as I did.There really isn't any personal benefit to schooling beyond middle school for most people. Almost no one does more than elementary math/reading/writing in their job. Why children also make very good laborers. Most labor doesn't involve that much skill or thinking.

But still worth maybe keeping a few years of school beyond elementary to teach critical thinking skills, which are sorely lacking in the USA, plus some basic computer skills, which are way more beneficial than almost everything you learn after elementary school.Not only is school prison I think real life has come to reflect the drab boringness of the prison construct. Every architectural design choice in modern society looks like it was hand crafted by the pixies ceos from the fairly odd parents so that's its as boring and unintrusive as possible. It's all just monotone boring colors next to Grey back drops. Just like prison.

But later I thought about the prison analogy again and it made even more sense: it's authoritarian, promotes individualism (no collaborating on assignments, that's CHEATING), uses negative reinforcement (punishment) to teach, and the whole thing is set up as obedience training for being a wage cuck later in life without really the option to leave.

i am anti communist. I am anti European man marx, Englels and lenin.

They were real western devils. They were so cunning they managed to convince Chinese people to hurt other Chinese and themselves unwittingly.

If you want to be pro china be pro chinese culture. Love our family, love our heritage, love our history. This Communism was a european homeless man's, Marx invention designed to seperate us from the chinese culture and ethics..

What is Chinese culture we love so much? Chinese culture tells us to honor parents and ancestors. To love our family. To love our parents. To go to ancestor grave in the mountain to bai shan. Marxist came in and brainwashed an entire generation to burn our ancestral tree and told us that the party is dearer than parents.

Chinese culture tells us to respect our history. Marxist came in and burned everythign and smashed everything. Lots of chinese people support CPC because they have loyalty to China and CPC merged its identity with China. But CPC has to fundamentally change its ideology and leave this marxist root behind and really promote the chinese culture.

Also Lots of these creepy white people support Chinese communist because it is a form of red imperialism,. They are asocial and unhappy living in Australia or wherever the fuck they crawl from. So they can claim they are communist to share credit for China's success. "it is not chinese people that made china rich today, it is marx." I mean, you don't feel uncomfortable when there is a white man marx in the congress that the chinese president bow to? or the white man marx in a tv show "marx met confucius" hugging our chinese confucius like they are the same level? It is abomination.

I just realized I haven't had sex since 2020. Does that make me an incel if the reason I don't have sex is because I'm interested in other shit? Or am I some sort of asexual weirdo? I know at least one person interested in getting married with me, but I'm not interested, even though I think I should get married, since I want to have a family. I just like other things more, and I had all the sex I wanted during my previous marriage. In fact, in the end, that was all there was to it. I want to be in love, but I don't know how to do that. I'm not young anymore, and I don't think I've ever actually experience that, even during the time I was married. I do love my friends, but I'm obviously not in love with any of them, since I'm straight, so I really don't feel alone. I just feel like there's something I should be doing, but I'm failing to grasp the details. Does anyone get like this?

>inflation, fuck it my bag cant deflate
in the future mega rich techno fascists will rule over impoverished cattle. Literally every single job, trade or white collar, will be done by AI or technology controlled by these corporations. The only job that still exists for the cattle is prostitution. The incel epidemic will reach unseen levels. Some women will be able to elevate themselves above the poor masses and have a special status because they can leverage non-synthetic "love" as the only thing these corporations cannot provide

lol making it even more irrational for wagies to keep slaving and reducing incentives to nearly 0. They rather get killed than survive and deflate. All okay with it

Why are women aging so fast suddenly?

First Aid

What's the best way to get into field medicine? I'm looking for an up-to-date, practical, introduction to first aid.

The weight of a rock, for example, might feel heavy to a child but light to an adult. Thus there is no objective truth to the world but only the subjective experience of it and following this logically, the world can't exist outside of the human experience of it.

Modi ready to ‘pay a heavy price’ as India seeks to resist Trump tariffs
In a speech on Wednesday night which did not directly mention Trump or the new tariffs, Modi appeared defiant as he addressed one of the biggest sticking points in India’s ongoing trade negotiations with the US over tariffs. According to Indian officials, the US has been pushing India to allow for the import of American genetically modified (GM) crops into the country and for duty-free imports on US farm and dairy products.

India bans 25 books in contested Kashmir for ‘secessionism’
Indian authorities in Kashmir have banned 25 books, including a piece of work by Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy, saying the titles “excite secessionism” in the contested Muslim-majority region. The government order accuses the writers of propagating “false narratives” about Kashmir, “while playing a critical role in misguiding the youth, glorifying terrorism and inciting violence” against the Indian state. It follows orders in February when the authorities seized Islamic literature from bookshops and homes.

How Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is bringing the Israeli army to its knees
This week, Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had decided to order the army to fully occupy the Gaza Strip. According to reports, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is strongly opposed to such a move and has even threatened to resign. If these reports are true, the importance of this moment is difficult to overstate. Such a head-on clash between the government and the army puts Netanyahu and his government in a position that challenges not only the military but also the will of much of the Israeli public.

Bolivia's socialists lose support of the Aymara, once their base
Now support for leftist and MAS-affiliated candidates is trailing the right-wing opposition. A July survey by Ipsos CIESMORI showed Andronico Rodriguez, the leading leftist contender, with just 6% support in July, from 19% earlier this year. Another candidate of Aymara heritage, Eva Copa, stood down from the race last week.

Those walking Wednesday said their goal was not to reach the United States, but rather central Mexico. They complained that they had been waiting for months to legalize their status or receive asylum.

Large Majority of Israeli Jews Untroubled by Reports of Famine in Gaza, Poll Finds
Among the Arab public, 86 percent said they are "very troubled" or "somewhat troubled" about the situation in Gaza. They also found a much greater degree of concern among left-wing Jews, with 70 percent saying that they, too, are troubled by the situation. Jews and Arabs also have profoundly differing views on whether Israel is making substantial efforts to avoid causing unnecessary suffering to Palestinians in Gaza; 78 percent of Jewish respondents agreed that "Israel's actions are restricted by the fighting, but it is making substantial efforts to avoid causing unnecessary suffering to Palestinians in Gaza." Only 22.5 percent of Arabs said that the claim is correct.

The importance of games in politics

For years and years the debate has raged over whether video games qualify as art, and as ridiculous as that debate is there's one undeniable aspect of it: video games have ideological content.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TycfDgg4acY

For that reason this thread should be used to approach games from a political standpoint with their political content in mind. The only thing to keep in mind here is that YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT GAMERGATE.

Here's a big list of video games with left wing content to help discussion get going:

the degenerate existence of modern city dwellers

Am i the only one who thinks life in a city is absolutely terrible. Most people don't even know how bad it is until they finally leave. I mean everywhere i go there are always people. An overpopulation of them a infestation if you will digging giant cave systems out of a dying land, few animals or plants you will find there are being smoked out domesticated or are just sick and dying or already lie dead rotten on a cold stone surface.

it feels so dystopian its unreal. The first thing i WILL do when i get the chance is leave and live in some forest hut or on the outskirts of a very small village like a hermit. Living WITH nature instead of competing it or beating it like a pulp

Becoming less and less dependent on other people or the intergovernmental institutions since long term they are not sustainable and will always fail. If you are wondering why you always feel like soy, why your material goods or shiny clothes feel hollow or empty, why feel like just a cog in the machine wasting away for someone else's burning material desire, here is your answer… you live in the city

This place is depressing

This site is really depressing, its users are depressing, and in general everything is bad here. I think this makes men who do not have sexual relations, nor who focus on succubi, look bad, since the first thing someone outside will read will be threads of misfortune and misery. So I ask you, have you never tried to improve and improve?

holographic communication

In the early 20th century armies used search lights to find airplanes in the sky. They sometimes fitted shutters on these lights and used them for Morse-code. The light was pointed at the sky, sometimes at clouds. That enable transmitting "blinky-messages" beyond line of sight over significant distances. Armies eventually abandoned this method of communication for radios.

But there might be cause to bring this idea back. Science has advanced quite a lot in the last 100 years and we can use light to make tiny low power plasma bubbles in the air that emit brief light pulses. Enabling over the horizon optical communication with minimal to no infrastructure costs.

Imagine projecting a tiny holographic blinking dot of light in the sky to transmit information and a photodetector+optic to receive information.

A communication link is configured in 3D space.
-The upside is that the available volume of sky is functionally unlimited, and you never again have to deal with network-collisions and interference from communication signals of others.
-The Downside, it requires a good deal of precision in mechanical systems, so it'll be fiddly for a while. Picture using Binoculars to look at a firefly floating high up in the sky, you need to get up-down, left-right and focal distance just right to see it. There is a technology upgrade path to a solid-state chip version, that works similarly to matrix array antennas, It needs Terra-hertz switching logic, which requires photon-based micro-controller (it exists but it's very bleeding edge)

The range can be tremendous, there is enough gas molecules in the stratosphere to make this work. It will enable hops over the ocean with a small number of relay buoys.

The military might want this technology because
- it's harder to triangulate the origin of a transmission (you need to intersect the light-beam, to find the source), relay-transmitter-stations, soldiers, planes and ships will suffer fewer attacks from signal homing weapons, making it very robust.
- it's very hard to jam, (you need to flood the sky with very thick smoke, usually associated with forest-fires and volcano eruptions)

Consumers might want this technology because
- the patent for making plasma bubbles ran out, so lots of companies would be competing on price and quality.
- no natural monopolies, same benefit as above.
- might be a fun hobby toy for radio-enthusiast type people.

Technically this seems very feasible, but the current political climate for communications-tech is a minefield.
I'm a little light on theory, will a different communication technology change the political climate, or does political climate need to improve to make a new technology happen ?

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

A lot has been made of the weirdness surrounding the JFK assassination in 1963, but I've realized over the past year that there are a lot of weird details surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln which are not that well known. I genuinely don't know where exactly to talk about this stuff, because it's just kind of bizarre.

Firstly, let's talk about Simon Wolf. Simon Wolf was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. Simon Wolf was also a prominent Freemason, whose chapter gave allegiance to the Charleston, SC Masonic lodge of one Albert Pike. Albert Pike was a Confederate general and preeminent Freemason, whose official title was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction from 1859 to 1891, and who was also involved with the Knights of the Golden Circle and, allegedly, the Ku Klux Klan.

Simon Wolf was a prominent member of the Jewish fraternal order the B'nai B'rith, and he would eventually become its president. Before that, he was a close personal friend of the actor John Wilkes Booth, and met with John Wilkes Booth "for drinks" on the morning of April 14, 2025. This little-known fact is detailed in Simon Wolf's 1918 autobiography The Presidents I Have Known: From 1860-1918, from which one of the attached pages was drawn. During the war, Simon Wolf was once arrested by the U.S. gov't as an operative of an enemy organization, a spy for the Confederacy. Some other odd details are outlined in the 2nd attached page, drawn from an Executive Intelligence Review article from May of 1993. I was skeptical when I first saw it, but the article is well-researched and led me directly to the autobiography, a source I had to consult directly just to authenticate what I had read in the article, whose contents I found odd.

After the assassination and the death of John Wilkes Booth, Lafayette C. Baker, the investigator who had charged Simon Wolf with Confederate espionage during the war, announced that he had had John Wilkes Booth's diary. Baker accused Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War, of suppressing the diary's release. When it was released, Baker claimed that 18 vital pages had been removed.

Another odd aspect is in the circumstances of the death of John Wilkes Booth. Booth was ultimately killed while hiding in a barn by a mentally ill street preacher who had castrated himself with a pair of scissors in order to suppress sexual urges. That man, Boston Corbett of the 16th New York Cavalry Regiment, was later institutionalized in 1887 and ultimately vanished after escaping the asylum in 1888. It's unclear if there was a chance of catching John Wilkes Booth alive, and most of Booth's co-conspirators, who have largely drifted into obscurity, would captured and formally be executed. One of these co-conspirators, Lewis Powell, was given a legal defense which presumed his guilt. Eventually the defense argued that Powell, who could not remember his age or the country of his birth, was insane, a claim which was supported by the prison guards who had been put in charge of watching him after his capture. However, it was rejected by the prosecution and Powell was hanged alongside the other co-conspirators.

Weird, huh? There's a little bit more!

Uruguayan public sector unions call nationwide strike over inadequate wage proposal

He released a video showing a man saying he was a PPA-CI member confessing to the attack, though the opposition party has condemned it.

Israel-Gaza: The International Criminal Court in turmoil
This has been the darkest year for the International Criminal Court (ICC) since it opened its doors in The Hague in 2002. Never before had the institution faced such strong headwinds. The US imposed sanctions on four judges and the chief prosecutor, the British national Karim Khan, while threats, intrigue, and pressure from Washington mounted on state parties. The objective: to annul and prevent any arrest warrants against Israelis, including those targeting Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, issued on November 21, 2024, and to close the ongoing investigation into crimes committed on Palestinian territory.

Gaza posts blocked on social media under UK Online Safety Act, report finds
BBC Verify found that content on X and Reddit has been restricted on X for those who have not verified their age on the sites. The content includes topics from the war on Gaza and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to parliamentary debates on grooming gangs. The report highlighted that a video posted to X of a man in Gaza searching for his family members under the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israel had been restricted, despite not showing dead bodies or graphic images.

Syrian democracy campaigners wary of upcoming 'selected' elections
Nawar Najma, spokesperson for the Higher Committee for People’s Assembly Election, told Rudaw last week that two-thirds of the parliament would be elected by "electoral bodies", themselves formed by subcommittees whose members would be selected by his department after "extensive consultations". Each electoral body would be composed of roughly 50 people who would elect a member of the parliament. He added that a "basic condition must be that they absolutely do not support, neither in word nor deed, the defunct [Assad] regime". "They must also have no affiliation with any of the security forces or the army to ensure the neutrality of the military apparatus and the interior ministry as well," he said.

Thailand’s parliament proposes phoney amnesty bill
Common to all three bills were exclusions for those charged or convicted under the draconian lèse-majesté law, Section 112 of the criminal code, which illegalises any criticism of the monarchy. The BJT added a specific clause banning support for amnesty for lèse-majesté. Section 112 is often used as a catch-all for the state to violate democratic rights and intimidate protesters with potential jail terms of up to 15 years.

/CitK/ - Crisis in the Kremlin General

Comrades, it's that time again: Lenin is young and October lies ahead!
Time for a Crisis in the Kremlin game thread like in the good old days. We'll be playing on 'Realism' difficulty and starting at the earliest bookmark, 1985!

And so comrades, take your seats as members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, take up flags, or namefag if you like, for some degree of recognisability when tallying votes and take up the burden of the collective leadership as it is time for you to elect our new General Secretary following the unfortunate passing of Comrade Chernenko.

Your candidates are as follows:
-The young protege of Andropov and stalwart, Comrade Grigory Romanov
-The young up and coming reformist, Comrade Gorbachev
-The trusted Brezhnevite centrist, Comrade Grishin
-The party grandee and diplomatic excellency, Comrade Gromyko
-or perhaps the a previously unknown black horse from the party rank will secure the Central Committee's confidence?

Comrades of the Central Committee, the future of the Party, the Union, the Socialist Camp and the Human Race itself is in your hands!

only about 20% of women are total gold digging whores.

You cannot simply buy the majority of women. Which should be a relief to some of you.

So yeah maybe 1 out 3 women are gold diggers or whores, but that means 2 out of 3 aernt.

In other words nice girls outnumber whores and gold diggers 2 to 1.

And no matter how much money exists, womens sex drive is really amazing at sniffing out good genes it's very primal. Looks actually matter to women way more than men think.

Hollywood cult scandals

Is destabilization the goal, or a side effect of greed? Women, drawn to authority figures, listen to the priest over their husbands, and vice versa. Society has grown comfortable with painting men as evil and essentially trying to outlaw masculinity. Now that religion has faded in the West, other tools divide men and women to prevent strong bonds.

They believe they should rule the world, have slaves, and so on. Nietzsche noted that religion broke the male/female bond by inserting a perverted charlatan (a priest) between them. Hollywood scandals, repeated by the same cult members since the beginning of showbiz, reveal these people as predators. Boys growing up in this world are absolutely fucked.

This is a control tactic: pit people against each other, make them worship strangers, push them toward degradation. Their efforts to destabilize society have been effective. I believe it's part of a media conspiracy. I have always been wary of the religious cult, a hate group that runs the media and much of the US.

I hate the "incels" trend

For those who don't know this, an "incel" (Alana, 1997) is someone who does not want to be celibate but is anyway, so involuntarily celibate, "incel". Later this was taken over by men and shifted to "crab" by 2000s.

The media use of the term has now come to mean anyone who sees the world through an "crab" pov of people who can get sex vs. people who cannot. So now there are two definitions.

I hate this word so much now that people have started to refer to it IRL. Even the people who can barely speak English have picked up on it.

It is such a female centric word and places all male value on their relationship status and their perceived relationship with female as a whole. It's erased all of the non-sex oriented men's subcultures and communities like nerds, geeks and wizards. The split definition "people who cannot get sex" vs. "subculture of people who believe in incel" now includes every male only community.

I hate erasure and fucking fake stories. I don't care about doing performative shit for "normies". I work, that's fucking enough, leave me alone!

idk if this is the right board but

how do i overcome laziness / procrastination? please

How does the left justify it's defense of rape gangs?

How does the left reckon with the fact that Leftists called this a "racist nazi conspiracy theory" for decades, and defended and frankly elements of the left, even protected the rapists and pedophiles, from justice, for a long time?
Now we have evidence of these gangs stretching back decades, arguably to the 1960s. Countless rapes, some estimates over a million, and the left was just like "nah it's racist bullshit by gammon reactionaries and conservative police".
The left has tried to deflect so much from the fact that yes, the left actually did spend decades, protecting rape gangs, because it looked bad from an identity politics/open borders perspective.
I remember myself being part of leftist orgs, and people downplaying this as some bullshit nazi conspiracy…and now it's true, there is just a deafining silence on it.
www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-audit-on-group-based-child-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse
As a Leftist, this is just another in the pile of the Left putting optics of inane shitlib positions, over materialist reality and it blowing up in our fucking faces like it does every time. Were we really that fucking up our own asses that we shouted down fucking working class victims of RAPE because it looked bad for fucking "Diversity is strength, open borders now" shitlib bullshit?
Of course, .org literally bans any discussion on these topics immediately, because they are a bunch of antisocial fucktards who's driving force is to make life worse for everyone out of spite, but I know people here are much more willing to discuss these issues. So what went so fucking wrong with the lefts response to this, and what can the left do to not make similar mistakes in the future?

Honestly? Just quit this place.

I'm serious. Just quit this place. /leftypol/ is basically a board for ideologically incoherent incels and schizos who take pride in how abrasive and alienating they are. Most of the userbase here aren't really communists, socialists or anarchists in any meaningful sense, they're just illiterate losers who wanna LARP on the internet as Tim Curry in Command and Conquer while wondering while they aren't getting sex.

So, give 'em what they want, and leave them with a dead board because nobody wants to talk to them. I went nearly a month without posting here, and when I came back, the quality of posting managed to get even worse.

Rest of you wanna know why this place is dying? Look in them mirror. Nobody wants to put up with abrasive schizoposters when they can have an actual conversation somewhere else.

Films You Just Watched Thread

Hello, the most recent movie threads have seemed a bit unfocused, this thread is for the discussion of movies we just watched and other anon's takes on them. So, without further ado I'll begin.

I just watched Parasite last night, it was pretty good I think, but not as cutting edge or witty as I was expecting. I thought it was a bit unfocused and threw a lot at the wall to see what stuck, but on the other hand, it was fun and more interesting than most. A solid 8/10.

I do an IMDB rating for each film I watch, for my own reference mostly, but you can see each film I watched lately and my rating if you're curious or want to ask about them. If other anons have something similar feel free to post.

German police expands use of Palantir surveillance software
The surveillance software called Gotham, developed by US company Palantir, is billed as an all-rounder: gigantic amounts of data are brought together at lightning speed. It only takes a few seconds to satisfy a police officer's curiosity: name, age, address, fines, criminal record. In combination with selected cellphones and the contents of scanned social media channels, a comprehensive profile of any person appears in an instant. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the surveillance program developed by the US technology company seems to make the dreams of police and intelligence agencies come true.

Rival anti-migrant and anti-racism protests face off outside a hotel housing migrants in London
Several hundred protesters waving Union Jacks gathered outside the Thistle City Barbican Hotel in central London, calling for it to be closed as housing for migrants. Chants including “Scum” and “Britain is full” were directed at the hotel. Police separated the demonstrators from a larger group of counter-protesters chanting “refugees are welcome here,” as people inside the hotel watched from windows. Protests against migrants have taken place in recent weeks in Epping, a town on the outskirts of London where an asylum-seeker was accused of sexual assault, and in a smattering of other towns in England.

Nordic countries hit by ‘truly unprecedented’ heatwave
In Sweden, meteorologists said long-term heatwaves were noted at several stations in the north of the country, with a weather station in Haparanda measuring 25C or more for 14 days in a row. In Jokkmokk, Lappland, the heatwave lasted for 15 days. “To find a longer period at these stations, you have to go back more than a century,” said Sverker Hellström, a scientist at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.

The Fine Print of Freedom: Iraq to amend Freedom of Expression and Peaceful Assembly Law
Despite easing some procedural hurdles, the new draft law outlines several prohibitions on protest activity: -Carrying firearms or dangerous materials during demonstrations, regardless of firearm licensing. -Wearing masks or face coverings intended to conceal identity. -Displaying slogans, symbols, or signs considered offensive to public order or morals. The law reaffirms longstanding bans on speech inciting sectarian, racial, or religious hatred, or defaming religious beliefs—provisions that human rights observers have previously warned could be used to silence dissent.

Video of emaciated Israeli captive in Gaza stirs divisions in Israel
The caption to the video, posted on Telegram, reads that the captive is "waiting to be released in a prisoner swap". The video shows the captive, who was later identified as Israeli soldier Evyatar David, looking markedly thin and sitting on bed in a cramped room. His arms show signs of drastic weight loss, and his ribs are also protruding, in a scene which has become increasingly common in Gaza as Israel obstructs aid.

'No Other Land' murder: Women in Awdah Hathaleen's village launch hunger strike
More than 70 women in the village where Awdah Hathaleen was killed on Monday have launched a hunger strike, calling for Israeli police to return his body and release residents arrested in the wake of his murder. Their protest comes as they say Israeli forces have raided family homes in the village each night since the killing, arresting their husbands and brothers and beating other family members. "A woman would be not properly dressed, lying in bed, and they would come in and open the door and say, 'We want your husband, we want your brother'," Ikhlas Hazalin, Hathaleen's sister-in-law, told Middle East Eye on Thursday.

Farmer leaders arrested in Pakistan for opposing illegal land grab
Several farmer leaders were arrested after they tried to organize against illegal land grabs in the Hashtnagar region in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province earlier this week. Salar Amjad Ali, Momin Khan Shalmani, Waris Khan Amir, Muhammad Alam, Manzoor Khan, Sparlay Ghorzang, and Zeeshan were arrested after their bails in previous cases were revoked. All the arrested are part of the provincial leadership of the left-wing Mazdoor Kisan Party (Workers-Peasants Party, MKP).

Indo-Myanmar Border: Manipur Naga Groups’ ‘Ultimatum’ to Centre
The four Manipur-based Naga outfits have marked their communication dated July 22, 2025, as an “Ultimatum” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. The ‘ultimatum’ once again reminds the Centre that at stake is ‘ancestral Naga homeland’ and that by not consulting the affected indigenous communities, it is violating the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly Articles 8, 26 and 36 thereof, which have been “endorsed by India”.

All the Myanmar individuals were sanctioned from 2022 to 2024 by the Joe Biden administration for their shady links to the junta, involving among other things the supply of arms, aircraft, and technology, which the regime has been using to kill its own people.

Making fun of furfags is 100% justified

Conservatards be like: "Muh gays!! Muh gays!!" Yet the furry community is verifiably freakier than the queer community. Gay people get all the shit for just kissing in public while furfags walk around in fursuits, have orgies in them and are the kinkiest and the most porn-addicted people online by far. Like, how do (non-woke) queer people even come close to this?

I'm not saying we should bully furfags (especially for their sexual preferences if they enjoy them in private) but furfags clearly deserve more mockery than queers.

In conclusion: homophobes are stupid and furfags are cringe. The end.

I end up spending all day on youtube and constantly refreshing forums holy f…

>Take over an entire city block because "ACAB"
>Literally wall it off, then have armed patrols walk around terrorizing locals, while alowing the area to flood with drug addict, antisocial lumpens, drug dealers and schizos and protecting them against any repurcussions.
>Instantly entire thing devolves into a den of crime, drug dealing, gangs. All protected by the Anarkiddies while local proles beg for the police to tear the entire thing down.
>Anarkiddies "not police" shoot 2 young black teens to death for doing a burn out in a car, in under a week.
>Literally cover for the murderers and they never are caught.
How in fuck are Anarkiddies taken seriously at all anymore in the Western left? Chaz more than anything proved that modern Anarchism, is nothing more than a reactionary antisocial Lumpen movement.

Positive books on Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge.

Most of the books I see about Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge and Kamdoji from those years portray these things as badly as possible, and compare Pol Pot himself to a mini Hitler, or worse. I would like to know if there is a book that justifies Pol Pot and speaks positively about him and the Khmer Rouge. Thank you in advance!

I don't know about you, but 4chan has long needed peace; it has not been anonymous for a long time, it uses a captcha that collects user data, and if it blocks users, that's just life. Where is your anonymity? Reddit, at least, allows you to create an account with a proxy or VPN. And what is 4chan? There is also a Russian-speaking equivalent called Dvach, which is even worse; it even blocks posts that are not from Russia. What kind of nonsense is that? There is also a law prohibiting GPT, and God forbid you joke about politicians; they will simply ask the owner of Dvach to leak your IP, and that's it. So the only anonymity is the absence of identification, but for the provider, you are still the same. In short, these sites are dead. In short, I have long been waiting for your opinions and criticism; if I am mistaken or wrong about something, please let me know.

Stalin

Comrades:

The advance of communism is unstoppable.

We're talking about agriculture.

How do capitalists intend to overcome the planning of the socialist economy?

Capitalist decisions are based on short-term profit, destroying competition to achieve monopoly, and eradicating small farmers and ranchers so that the entire business remains in the hands of the four multinationals.

Thus, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have published the "Plan to Accelerate the Building of an Agricultural Power (2025-2035)," which states:

"The plan foresees that significant progress will be made in building a strong agricultural country by 2027. Significant progress has been made in the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas has reached a new level. By 2035, significant results will have been achieved in the comprehensive development of rural areas, and the modernization of agriculture will have been largely completed. By the middle of this century, China will become a strong agricultural country.

The plan proposes strengthening the foundation for food security in all aspects to ensure food self-sufficiency; promoting innovation in agricultural science and technological equipment in all fields to accelerate the achievement of a high level of scientific and technological independence; improving the modern agricultural management system; further deepening foreign agricultural cooperation to create new advantages in international agricultural competition; and promoting the construction of livable, attractive villages." for businesses and a high quality of life; promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas in order to reduce the gap between them.”

US stock market crash general

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.

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

So if I decided to become a NEET, it's not like I can just do that without becoming homeless as well

ONLY Americans can destroy America

There is no external army here to shatter the state, and there never will be. The two oceans provide impenetrable insulation against invasion, to such an extent that a foreign invasion is not just farfetched, it is impossible. It would be easier to eat the sun than to move millions of troops and all their supplies across the vastness of the ocean to invade America. Even a basic understanding of military strategy and history would reveal this to be true. It simply cannot be done. Protected from foreign pressure, American capital has become a complete hegemon, able to loot the entire world at will and use the superprofits generated from imperialism both to prevent any dissent by buying off the otherwise restive sections of the proletariat and to build a state apparatus that maintains an iron grip on the populace through an inescapable surveillance and propaganda panopticon. There will be and can be no mass movement in America like there was in Russia and China until America, as in, the central government, is either seriously diminished or destroyed. Since that cannot happen through an external force, it must be done internally

At what age should you walk away from starting a family? Is there a cut off age?

i think people should stop trying to procreate after thity.

Especially sinxe so many people whine about feeling old at that age.

Also by that age youre already knee deep in jobs.

Imo if you wamt to have kids you should have preliminary training.

Most adults nowadays have little to no home training let alone mechanical skills.

Yet they feel entitled to have kids and a spouse that they will eventually take for granted.

US military against an insurgent population

The US military does have drones, jets, and tanks. But people forget that the US military has never won against an insurgent population. The vietnamese only had small arms, tunnels, and traps. The Iraq war was diffictult for the US military because Iraqi fighters could shoot at them and hide for a few seconds, ditch their gear, and emerge an unarmed civillian. The US government would also probably be less likely to carpet bomb and drop JDAMs on neighborhoods in their own country instead of being fine with all the civillians they killed in the Middle East that they just wrote off as "collateral Damage"

Thailand scrambled an F-16 fighter jet to bomb targets in Cambodia after artillery volleys from both sides killed at least 11 civilians, as border tension boiled over into rare armed conflict between the Southeast Asian countries. Both blamed each other for starting a morning clash at a disputed area of the border, which quickly escalated from small arms fire to heavy shelling in at least six locations 209 kilometres (130 miles) apart along a frontier where sovereignty has been disputed for more than a century.

Protest Crackdowns Intensify in Argentina as Milei Implements Austerity
In the first six months of 2025, the CPM documented 1,251 cases of injuries or detentions during demonstrations in Buenos Aires—surpassing the total of 1,216 recorded in all of 2024. The organization attributes this rise to a deliberate state strategy to suppress dissent amid the government’s sweeping economic adjustment program.

Chile's government to expropriate land tied to Pinochet-era torture
Chile plans to expropriate a settlement founded by a German cult leader where torture took place during former dictator Augusto Pinochet's military regime as the government takes another step to shine a light on a dark period of the past. The enclave, originally called Colonia Dignidad and renamed Villa Baviera, was founded in 1961 by Paul Schafer, a former Nazi medic turned evangelical preacher who kept the isolated community under tight control and was later jailed for sexually abusing children.

Marlon Vargas is the new president of Ecuador’s Indigenous movement CONAIE
Vargas was one of the leaders of the October 2019 social mobilizations against former President Lenin Moreno, over the economic adjustments that the government had agreed to with the International Monetary Fund, including the elimination of gasoline subsidies. He also took part in the June 2022 mobilizations against the economic policies of former President Guillermo Lasso.

Balloting underway in government-forced vote on Canada Post’s “final” offers
Serious concerns over the use of online balloting have been raised widely by workers. Thousands face practical and technical barriers to casting a vote. Older workers, those with limited digital access, and employees in rural or remote regions have struggled to obtain login credentials or decipher conflicting communications from the union and the unelected Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), which banned a strike by postal workers last December at the orders of Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon. The absence of clear, accessible procedures has left many uncertain if their votes will even be counted.

NHS must resist doctors’ strike, its chief tells hospital leaders
He wants hospitals to press ahead with as many routine operations as possible, even if it means running A&E units with a skeleton staff, rather than cancelling clinics to ensure emergency care runs as normal. Mackey told hospital bosses in a call on Wednesday: “We’ve been very, very clear we want to have a different approach this time. You have noticed already we are in a different space compared to where we were last time, much more instructive to the BMA, much more resistant to their demands. Frankly we and you make decisions about safety, not the BMA. Do what you do best, make sensible decisions and we’ll stick together.”

Corbyn and Sultana commit to launching new socialist party
They pledged the creation of “a new kind of political party — one that belongs to you” and looked ahead to a founding conference at which members would “decide the party’s direction, the model of leadership and the policies that are needed to transform society.” The founding process will also determine the name of the new party. It is understood that the process will be overseen by a working group to be established by the Independent Alliance of MPs, of which Corbyn and Sultana are both members.

Former US guard at GHF speaks of brutality he witnessed against desperate Gaza civilians
He recounts an incident in which American guards pepper-sprayed a Palestinian who was collecting food from the ground and who posed no threat. In another incident, a stun grenade was thrown and directly hit a Palestinian woman. "I collapsed and fell to the ground. That was the moment I realised I couldn't continue working there," the former guard told Channel 12. Recounting another incident, he said once Palestinians finished collecting the aid, the American guards started shooting towards them – in the legs and around them – to force them to leave the site.

Syria is secretly reshaping its economy. The president’s brother is in charge.
Over seven months, the committee has negotiated with the wealthiest Syrian tycoons, including some who are under U.S. sanctions. The committee has also made headway taking over a constellation of companies that were run out of Assad’s palace, the sources said. Many tycoons linked to Assad, including an airline mogul sanctioned in connection with drug and weapons smuggling, and a businessman accused of scavenging and smelting metal from Syrian towns depopulated by Assad’s army, are keeping some profits and avoiding state prosecution, for a price. But that bargain, amnesty in exchange for a mix of cash and corporate control, risks angering Syrians seeking justice.

Good things about America

So much hate is coming for America. I don't think it's that bad. So how about a thread of positivity? Life is not all about dating anyways.

I like the infrastructure
I like innovation culture – as if our future lies in our fate
I like social safety nets that allows one to live dreams (some works some doesn't but at still its good we have it)
I like the weather in some parts, especially the seasons
I like the peace and the order
I like it being quiet
I like the value of work – maybe not for material gain – but that Americans are looking for mastery
I like the products that come from here
I like most people here, really, even some females are good people too

There's a lot to like about America. I have to admit this is still one of the best countries in the world.

I think the natural environment is hard to beat in America. You can find a wide variety of stunning scenery and environments everywhere. Asia is very polluted and dirty. Even when you go to natural preserves around Asia there's a general feeling of neglect.

Customer service and goods. It's good to be a consumer in the U.S. because businesses generally make sure the consumer is satisfied. Plus there's a wide variety of products that can be purchased at a price much cheaper than the rest of the world. Apple products, quality furniture, cars, etc.. are all much cheaper in the U.S. Developing countries tack on outrageous import taxes to everything.

Real estate value. Some people may disagree with this but I still find U.S. real estate to be amongst the best values in the world. The subprime thing was due to scams in the financial sector but per sqf U.S. real estate is hard to beat. There are some markets where things are pretty overpriced but the amount of land and the quality of the houses you get is better than most countries in the world.

Social mobility. It's still pretty easy to map out a path to middle class if you're a poor immigrant who has some motivation and ability to learn. It's probably not better than let's say Sweden but it's pretty good when compared with the rest of the world.

I believe that Trump wants to use the so-called “Secondary Sanctions” on all countries that import Russian Oil/Gas, as a convenient excuse t dramatically escalate the Trade War with China into a full-decoupling of all Trade between the U$ and China, which combined with Trump forcing the ROC/“Taiwan” U$ puppet state to declare “independence” and/or the U$ recognizing them as the “Real China”, will force China to Invade Taiwan, thus giving the U$ a cactus belli to launch World War III against China, which means Trump will have Bipartisan support to use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law, suspend all Elections, and become De Facto President for Life, though this could dramatically backfire as it will either end in with this either ending in a decisive Conventional U$ victory (due to the U$ B-2 Stealth Bomber and Standoff Stealthy JASSMs, LRASMs, and Tomahawks, launched by B-1/2/52 Bombers in the case of JASSM, B-1 Bombers in the case of the LRASM, and Cruisers, Destroyers, and Submarines, in the case of the Tomahawk, destroying most Chinese Air Bases, Naval Bases, Warships, SRBM/MRBM/IRBM/GLCM launchers, and SAM sites, which despite Chinese DF-21/26 MRBMs/IRBMs and CJ-10 cruise Missiles launched by H-6 Bombers and Type 052D/Type 055 Destroyers, severely damaging many U$ air and naval bases in Japan and South Korea and Anti-Ship Missiles launched by H-6 Bombers and Type 052D/Type 055 Destroyers sinking several U$ Destroyers and Cruisers, causes China to suffer a decisive Conventional Defeat and Capitulate) that will lead to the overthrow of the Chinese Communist Party and the Balkanization of China (Tibet and East Turkestan will gain Independence) in a renewed Century of Humiliation, thus enshrining the Global Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist 1000 year Burgereich under the eternal Trump Dynasty, or escalate into a Global Nuclear War (due to a DF-21D, DF-26, or JY-21 ASBM, launched by a TEL in the case of the DF-21/26, or a H-6 Bomber or Type 055 Destroyer in the case of the YJ-21, penetrating the Aegis ABM system and sinking a U$ Aircraft Carrier, thus provoking a U$ Nuclear First Strike on China, and assuming some Chinese ICBMs survive, and that their MIRVed Nuclear Warheads penetrate the U$ ABM system, a Chinese Nuclear Second Strike on the U$) that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR that will Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Mahmoud Khalil forced disappearance thread

On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

On Sunday evening, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin sent a follow-up statement confirming ICE “arrested” Khalil “for activities aligned to Hamas”: “On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student,” McLaughlin wrote. “Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security.”

McLaughlin did not answer questions about where Khalil is being held.

Columbia University directed Drop Site to a statement on their website. The statement, dated March 9, reads, "There have been reports of ICE around campus. Columbia has and will continue to follow the law. Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including University buildings. Columbia is committed to complying with all legal obligations and supporting our student body and campus community."

Khalil’s wife was unlocking the door to the building when “two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them.” They initially refused to identify themselves, she reported, but then threatened Khalil’s wife that if she remained with him, she would be detained too.

On Wednesday, Khalil was among the protesters at a sit-in at Milstein Library in Columbia University’s Barnard College, protesting the recent expulsion of three Barnard students over pro-Palestine activism. New York Police Department officers later arrested nine individuals from the same protest—the third round of arrests of pro-Palestine demonstrators on Columbia’s campuses in the past year.

Over the course of Thursday and Friday, several prominent pro-Israel groups and individuals published a series of tweets targeting Khalil, mentioning his presence at the sit-in on Wednesday and his history as a lead negotiator with Columbia in April 2024, and demanded that the Trump administration act strongly against him by revoking his visa and deporting him. They tagged President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Radlibs are trying to cancel FSF and Stallman

I know I am a little bit late to the party with this but some "anonymous" group tried to cancel rms and the FSF as well: archive.md/Pt37W (stallman-report.org). It's the usual shit: whining about Stallman's comments on Epstein, supposed "sexual harassment" etc. Basically, the author calls for Stallman to step down from the FSF and/or for FSF members to take him down.

It is already known who wrote this "report": Drew DeVault, a developer who worked (or still works?) on Wayland. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41859793

First Wave Black Metal Thread

Thread for the thinking man's music.
(speed-black metal / blackened thrash / oldschool first wave black metal / etc.)

Bimboification and Divine Feminism

Is the bottom finally starting to fall out from 3rd and 4th wave feminism? Right now bimbos are trending on tik tok and the fully embracing the male gaze growing popular among zoomer women. Along with divine feminism, which is almost an anti-feminism ideology that encourages women to become stay-at-home moms and obedient housewives if they wish to, and assuages their fears about it being demeaning to themselves and women as 3rd and 4th wave feminists are so keen on proselytizing.

One prominent bimbo tiktoker describes the bimbo lifestyle as an "ego death". Where women stop trying to foster masculine traits in themselves and instead cultivate their natural vulnerability, gentleness, and hunger for the sexual desire of men. Bimbos claim these innate traits of most straight women have wrongly been maligned by feminist as naivete, weakness, and subjugation by the patriarchy.

I think women gravitating to the antithesis of feminism is primarily due to the deteriorating economy, having a committed husband or boyfriend is quickly becoming a necessity as it has been throughout most of captialism. And bimbos encapsulate in a extreme manner, the things women have always known men want. I think there's also other converging trends at work.

Millennial women are now hitting middle age in earnest, and zoomer generations are seeing the poisoned harvest of feminism. Many millennial women are alone and miserable as either single mothers, divorcees, or spinsters that were never wed and face a future devoid of companionship.

Women have also gotten to experience capitalist alienation first hand for 60 years and are realizing that as much as a eunuch a housewife can be, it's still far better than being a prole. Zoomer women are realizing what men have always known, that only a small percentage of workers ever find a fulfilling career, everyone else just works to make money until they die.

I think this bimbo trend is the beginning of a wider revolt among zoomer women against feminism. Feminism can no longer hide its failures, and zoomer women cannot be spooked by horror stories of past female oppression like not being able to open checking accounts, since they have no living memory of it. And even if rights like abortion are taken away, modern technology, like the nearly dozen birth control methods that are available now, will mitigate much of the harm and keep zoomer women from reradicalizing. What do you guys think?

What's your opinion on a woman's body count.

Should a woman's body count not matter to man? Why do so many women insist it shouldn't matter? Are men just insecure as women claim? Or do men have a legitimate reason to worry about marrying women that has a slutty past?
Women who have had more partners do tend to have higher divorce rates. Should it even matter what the reason men have for avoiding promiscuous women if it's their life, or do men have some kind of obligation or social contract to push aside their reservations? If so do women have any obligations to men.
What is a high body count to you. For me, anymore than 20 would be a red flag.

Palestine Thread Pt. VIII

Continued from >>487384

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers. Israel proceeded to violate the ceasefire with airstrikes and a resumption of their illegal blockade of Gaza before resuming full-scale attacks in March and destroying the ceasefire entirely.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. After months of the IDF violating the ceasefire in the south of Lebanon, Israel returned to bombing Beirut in March.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance. Meanwhile, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of HTS and current de facto leader of Syria, has launched attacks on Lebanon and attacked Palestinian liberation factions within Syria.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.

Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.

Benjamin Netanyahu was invited back to the White House for February 4th, 2025.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and unilaterally broke the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, refusing to move on to phase two of the deal.

More countries have joined South Africa's legal case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for the crime of genocide. Cuba, Ireland, Belize, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, Chile, and Colombia have joined the South African case against Israel. Egypt, Belgium, and Maldives have also declared their intention to join. Nicaragua has withdrawn from the case.

Yemeni Houthi attacks on international shipping, in solidarity with Gaza, stopped in accordance with the ceasefire, following multiple successful Yemeni strikes on targets in Israel. After the resumption of the blockade on Gaza by Israel, Yemen's Ansar Allah stated that they would resume attacking Israeli shipping. Following this statement, the US, under Trump, resumed bombing Yemen, hitting multiple civilian targets. Yemen has launched multiple attacks on Israel since this bombing campaign began against them, as well as launching defensive attacks against the US Navy in response.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK.

The US gov't continued shipping weapons to Israel, in violation of US law.

The new US administration has started unlawfully abducting students for protest and opposition to genocide. The administration has threatened to deport these students, and has gone after university funding in an effort to suppress anti-genocide speech on campuses and control the narrative.

Israel attacked a Freedom Flotilla boat near Malta for trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza.

And much, much more!

What Would Stalin Do?

When I first started working in the tech industry, I didn't understand the point of Scrum. I couldn't recall a single time when I thought that our daily meetings actually mattered. It wasn't long before my attention was captured by the horrors of writing mountains of documentation that would never be read, living through Jira hell, and nearly going mad from the pointless rituals of test-driven development and eXtreme(ly shitty) Programming.

The story I was sold is that all these big ideas are bigly necessary because big complex systems need big complex teams, which in turn need these big ideas. This struck me as a big damn lie. All you really need is good code, which needs good developers, which needs good teamwork - duh, right? But what follows is a bunch of bullshit boilerplate, standards and methodologies. Why? Because they serve to obscure the root of the problem: people giving a shit about the shit they're doing so that they can do it well.

If you're hiring people to maintain some voodoo code written by an overworked and disgruntled codemonkey ten years ago, or refusing to hire junior devs because you need "real talent" to maintain your Kafkaesque SaaS nightmare, then problem runs a *lot* deeper than just "not being agile enough" or whatever the hell other coping mechanisms we use to repress the problem. These insane business practices that drive insane development practices are literally insane, because they do the same thing over and over and over again - fixing the problems created by fixing the problems created by fixing the problems.

What the professional commentariat - the business gurus and glorified cultists, the chattering classes who preach incessantly on such matters - avoid mentioning is that the crux of good management involves _protecting the workers from such pathologies so that they can do their damn jobs._ The workers can learn to direct and motivate themselves if they want to, and they will if they have the freedom to do it. In one sentence: *They need to be given tools and techniques, not pizzas and parenting.* This has nothing to do with "agile processes" or "servant leadership" or whatever other perverted corporate ideologies that are being peddled to the successfully incompetent - it's a working-class reality.

Pathological business processes that exist solely to paper over the fact that people don't care about their work enough to do it right will inevitably create more problems than they solve, because they pile on even more reasons to not give a damn, and _giving a damn is the ONLY way to create a quality product._ But these firms obviously don't exist to create a quality product, but to create profits, and creating profits in a world where the appearance of productivity matters more than anything else - because it is rewarded with profits more than anything else - can lead only to either enshittification or the mass production of shit.

People won't eat the same shit forever, especially when it's being endlessly repackaged and made worse each time, unless they have no other choice. Our lives are too short to accept this. But our superiors don't view it this way - they apparently live in an eternal present and can't tell the difference between the long-term and the short-term anymore. They've unironically begun to believe that a successful business model resembles Cookie Clicker.

Mark Fisher coined the term "market Stalinism" to show how post-Fordist capitalism seems to have adopted a Stalinist obsession with the symbols of productivity over the real process of production, but I claim that he didn't go far enough. It isn't the case anymore that firms merely value the appearance of achievement more than actual achievements. Now, the moment they actually achieve anything at all, they stop seeking out actual achievements altogether. You already have the product, so why bother making anything new when you can just leech off of it forever? This isn't "market Stalinism" but Cookie Clicker Capitalism.

If I gave Stalin a laptop and asked him to play Cookie Clicker on it, what would he do? Maybe he'd start by setting some quotas for cookie output and creating elaborate bureaucratic processes around it. Maybe he'd make a plan to have this many cookies and that many grandmas by the end of the month, and order some associates to watch over the grandmas to ensure that they aren't trying to sabotage cookie production, only to replace them when they find no sabotage despite all the quotas being unfulfilled.

But I'm pretty sure that what would actually happen is that he would take one look at the game and tell me to piss off. "What is this nonsense, comrade? Stop wasting my time." At best, he'd seize the laptop and let some dorks at Gosplan take a look at it.

In other words, Stalinism's obsession with appearances was ultimately driven by some real interest in material progress. Stalin's approach was in many respects monstrous, but it wasn't meaningless. It had a pioneering logic to it - crash industrialization, planning, statecraft, a communist future - even if that logic relied on paranoid terror. In contrast, "market Stalinism" has turned into Cookie Clicker Capitalism, which has no logic beyond endless repetition. Imagine a mouse clicking on a human-shaped cookie, forever.

It's not like we can't have infinite growth - or at least a couple of million years of growth. The universe has a whole lot of stuff in it, more than we can even imagine. But this actually requires thinking about the far future and carefully planning for it. Cookie Clicker logic can't function when the universe is made to be so small. Yet, the successfully incompetent have managed to delude themselves into believing in a contradiction - a fantasy of infinite growth within a microscopically small fantasy world. Hell, even the "degrowthers" use the same logic! What we end up with are maniacs arguing over whether or not to keep clicking on the same damn cookies, instead of playing a different game.

So, if Mark Fisher were still alive, I would ask him an obscene question: What Would Stalin Do? (WWSD?) A capitalist Stalin might end up being a "market Stalinist" of some sort, sure, but I highly doubt that he would ever become a Cookie Clicker Capitalist. Why? Because Stalin - and Stalinism - was still animated by the spirit of socialism.

So, perhaps we should reclaim this spirit of socialism by flipping "market Stalinism" on its head. To combat the capitalist market economy inversion of the dominating aspects of socialist ideology, we need a socialist planned economy inversion of the liberating aspects of capitalist ideology. We need "planned Reaganism" to defeat "market Stalinism."

The rhetoric of Reaganism revolved around a desire to return to free-market fundamentals to combat the crisis apparently caused by the excesses of Fordist Keynesianism. He attacked the inefficiency and harsh overreach of "big government" and believed that American foreign policy consistently failed to combat the immorality that the USSR (as the "evil Empire") and its supposed leftist sympathizers stood for. He championed an optimistic vision that appealed to "common sense" over out-of-touch elitism, posing individual liberties and moral virtues as the true engine of economic progress.

We should argue that democratic central planning is not "big government" but the opposite - an antidote to an inefficient plutocratic oligarchy that generates mountains of bureaucratic waste to prop up a decaying capitalism and entrench the authority of its elite servants. Our moral outrage should be directed towards the "evil Empire" that is the global system of capitalist political economy as a whole, which cheapens and degrades morality by exploiting it for geopolitical theater and glorified PR stunts that obscure the mass suffering and resentment it causes. We needn't worry about out-of-touch elites when the common person is allowed to truly exercise their common sense through the responsibility of governing. Concepts like individual liberty and moral virtue can only flourish within every individual when it is given a stable foundation of collective material support.

To take this very serious joke even further: if the endpoint of "market Stalinism" is Cookie Clicker Capitalism, then the endpoint of "planned Reaganism" is Smash Bros. Communism. Rather than the trivial and autistic repetition veiled in shallow aesthetics that is Cookie Clicker, Smash Bros. Communism is the vibrant and dynamic confluence of individual agency and meaningful depth with a collective experience that is fun and accessible to all.

Reading General

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!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/191198.Mankind_Child_of_the_Stars
Mankind Child of the Stars by Max H. Flindt

Is Earth a colony established by creatures from Outerspace?

Scientific evidence to prove that mankind could not possibly evolved naturally. Step by step clues that explore the very real possibility that we are direct descendants of ancient starmen who came from other planets to Earth millions of years ago. Some of the fascinating discoveries revealed in this book:* Earth has been visited more than 5,000 times by creatures from other planets! * There's evidence that starmen deliberately hid any "Missing Link" human fossils in order to keep mankind from knowing it was a colony! * There is a reason to believe that the starmen were the "Angels" of the Bible, carrying on a "Divine" mission to bring human life to Earth! Max H. Flindt was the first to scientifically document from biological evidence the possibility that mankind may be a hybrid from a prehistoric union of terrestrial humanoids and starmen. With a 180,000 copies previously sold, this new Edition of "Mankind" offers a whole new generation a look at these mind-expanding theories.

the sheeple question

what is to be done about the masses of sheeple who always do whatever the empire tells them to do? how are we supposed to organize in solidarity with vaxies who support vax mandates? how am I supposed to deal with people who vote in support of genocidal zionist politicians like Harris, Trump, and Kennedy even though it's clear they are screwing their own voters regardless? what are we supposed to do about the brainwashed, bloodthirsty psychos who support the global 4th reich?

Bannana Republic of Korea ?

Yoon Suk Yeol (emphasis on the suck) has declared martial law, out of the blue. Probably because he's loosing power, his approval rating tanked, there's scandals surrounding his wife and the opposition is blocking his political programs.

The pretext he gave for the martial law was "eradicating the pro north Korean communist forces"
If only there were communist forces about to topple the wannabe dictator of BRoK

Anarcho-capitalism is impossible

Anarcho-capitalism is impossible because no ideal society is possible, anarchy is disobedience to authority and free association and communism is a movement that abolishes the present state of things, not a society. If our history is class struggle then thinking about the future society is a distraction from it. Nothing but praxis matters, the strength of the far-left isn't that its ideal societies are better but rather that they actually do shit instead of sitting on the Internet all day and mining crypto or voting in elections and marching on meaningless protests that lead nowhere and achieve nothing or supporting economic superpowers that don't care about them and barely acknowledge their existence.

Go read Bordiga or Negri or whatever, I dunno.

I think Anarcho Capitalism is fine.

I think reason why we are so unpopular is due to us being cuntish.

the need for a second french revolution?

The Second `French Revolution`

Is increasingly clear there is an intense fight to eliminate nationalism.
Who and why have almost become irrelevant at the face of severity and urgency of the situation.
But my best guest is that the wealthy class coupled with ideological groups like academic communists clique and religious groups (there are intersecting circles as well as opposing circles on other issues. because life is not that simple). They all formed an alliance to suffocate and wipe out nationalism.

Humanity needs to make a choice. Either let it play out and accept the ideals of a unity and try to eradicate the racial differences. Or embrace the differences and take step towards the next level of the nation-sate: ethno-state.


Shall we aspire for popular uprisings to protect the national identities as second 'French Revolution' {actually a Polish Revolution or a Balkan Revolution or a European Spring?} (Since the French is digested anyway by the wealthy global ruling elite) against the global clique of nameless families and individuals who have been pulling the strings behind the scenes for far too long?

(I Dont wanna seem like I like Europeans, I want African states to set colonialism tribunals to punish to EUropeans and demans $trillions in reparations)

{I focus on europe because it is the region getting the most rape from the global ruling class and become their lab for the ethnic experiment. but I guess CHina and India is far from their reach at the moment anyway.}


What was I saying? Look, a group is set to eradicate national identities and most so-called democratic governments become their lap dogs. The aim probably boil down to control. without nation states and national identities humanity becomes just a mindless herd easy to control and own. The incredible thing is they are largely already in control. and THEY WANT MORE AND TIGHTER CONTROL.


lONG STORY short either fight back and protect your national identity or sit back and relax and let them own you, merge with other ethnicities.


tHe white people of the west is a prime target of this campaign. Those who threatened by the WWII seek revenge and a peace of mind in a world without the white men. I personally dont think the white men is any more evil than the brown or black men but the media brainwashing people in that direction. which is an arm of the global wealthy clique.


SO, anyway either protect your nationalities or accept your fate. the things are already in motion, and there's only two options, have fun {tbh, waging war is profit for them anyway. so they win again.}

/dei/ - Woke Agenda and Forced Diversity General

Here we discuss woke agenda and forced diversity in media.

WARNING: just because there is a minority or leftist politics in some work of fiction doesn't mean it's a case of the woke agenda or forced diversity, there should be a valid enough argument why the inclusion of minorities or politics feels forced.

the missing killing spree

I wonder why people almost never assassinate the wealthy class and the special interest group leaders.
I dont condone any assassination but Im just saying that that when politicians do things people hate its not like the politicians do things alone.

And damn that country you know which one shouldnt kill Mr K. for nukes.

and killing people wont solve the main systemic problems so never think of it.

Society is about to return to the Victorian century

>early 20th century
>first wave feminism happens
>women start entering the workforce and education en masse
>wages evolve in a way that a household led by a single breadwinner becomes almost impossible
>females eventually start getting the most degrees
>most of them in soft fields
>still, men are prevalent in leadership roles and the most critical jobs
>fast forward to present day
>AI revolution starts taking place
>most bullshit jobs are about to get brutally wiped out as companies become more and more efficient
>such jobs are predominantly held by - you guessed it - females
>DEI losing force worldwide

Without quotas, we might be about to witness mass female unemployment, which could lead to a return of the arrangement that happened prior to first wave feminism: a smaller workforce, with women mostly absent from many professions, becoming stay at home wives instead.

Perhaps a Victorian arrangement, with affluent women going to college for personal growth and passion projects, instead of looking for employability and marketeable skills

Imageboard and Chan General

This will be a dedicated thread for sharing and showcasing and reaching out to other, smaller, communities and chans so that we can all help and boost one another.
Imageboards and imageboard culture is important we like to believe. Anonymous culture on the internet allows for the, more or less, free flow of ideas in the general public and for beliefs and those ideas to be challenged.

We hold these values closely here at leftychan. We also have noticed an uptick in spam, so, to anyone looking to advertise your board this is a space to do so. The only thing we would ask is the same privilege from you in return! Thank you! Enjoy~

Equality for me but not for thee. Fuck you. Cunt. Bitch. Whore. Slut. Slag. Go fuck yourself. I hate women. If you're a woman reading this trying to get schadenfraude laughs at the expense of incels, you're going to age and get treated differently, this is called The Wall. It's inevitable. Wombtard.

Why is the left so fucking censorship/ban happy? Even on leftist forums, .orge and behind closed doors, you basically just cannot have discussion or acknowledge very real issues, because they sometimes are tangentially aligned to right wing narratives. This is also a problem in itself, the idea that the right is ALWAYS WRONG, when they just clearly isn't true, sometimes we are the ones who are spouting bullshit (usually from a place of idealism) and they turn out to be the ones that were acting in good faith.
A good example is Immigration, the left censored debate on this so hard, that it ceded the entire ground to the right. Now you have mass rape gangs, quality of life imploding in high immigrant areas, ethnic enclaves, increasing crime, lowered civicism and the left is still going "IF YOU DON'T WANT JASMINE SCENTED SEX WITH IMMIGRANTS YOU ARE A NAZI" while the far-right literally overtake the Establishment in polling because they actually address working class concerns.
You can see this as well with the rise of genuine antisemitism, Left censored the debate on Jews so hard, that when it turns out, shock horror, duplicitous religious psychopaths, are in fact, duplicitious religious psychopaths in a way everyone can BRAZENLY SEE, then it's the far-right who are the only ones with a narrative. Despite the fact, Christians and Muslims are also duplicitous religious psychopaths and push their bad faith bullshit as well, but because the far-right control the narrative because they never self-censored, they dominate the debate.
It's just wild to me, that Leftists, on sites like .orge, can't even engage in good faith debate, without crying for banhammer. They do realize that Banhammers don't actually exist in real life right?

Why are Koreans so ashamed of this video?

The Morphic Field

here's an interesting scientist named Rupert Sheldrake who studies phenomena like pets sensing when their owners are coming home, people feeling someone staring at them from a distance, or knowing when someone is about to contact them. I’ve had these experiences myself.

Sheldrake calls this the "Morphic Field." He believes some beings can communicate mentally, possibly through some form of quantum energy. For example, certain birds navigate using cells in their brains that sense Earth’s magnetic field, directing them where to go.

But you can’t replicate the Morphic Field in a lab. If a friend’s worry sends a mental signal to me, you can’t force it to happen repeatedly, so science can’t study it properly. This is why science often fails when dealing with human experiences.

Take the statement, "Pizza makes me happy." A scientist might test this by giving me pizza for every meal for a month. When I inevitably get tired of it, they’d conclude, "Pizza does not make this person happy." But that’s wrong—pizza does make me happy, just only when I’m in the mood. The same unpredictability applies to psychic phenomena if they depend on passion or spontaneity, they can’t be summoned at will.

If phenomena like psychic connections or the 'Morphic Field' can't be reliably replicated in a lab, does that mean they’re beyond scientific study or does science need new methods to understand them? How would you design an experiment to test subjective, unpredictable experiences like intuition or emotional resonance?

Take the Stoic Pill

>All emotions come from within.

You can't always control the external words, but you can control your emotional response to it. Focus on what you can control - namely, yourself. Conversely, if you can control someone else's emotions, you control them. Maintain emotional independence at all costs.

>Bravery and courage are the most important virtues.

Courage isn't absence of fear. Rather, it is action in the face of fear. Most of your problems would be solved if you'd be less of a pussy.

>Develop a bias toward action.

With limited exception, passivity will get you nowhere. Action and movement, on the other hand, will grant you the ability to overcome obstacles. You are not your feelings. You are no your thoughts. You are what you do. Pour energy into taking action on the things you can control. Stop talking or caring so much about things outside your control. The former makes you stronger and more capable. The latter makes you weak and a victim.

>The end or goal doesn't matter as much as practice.

A person who strongly desires to be fit but never exercises won't get fit. Conversely, a person with no particular goal yet who nonetheless exercises daily will reap the reward of fitness.

>Comfort is the enemy.

Comfort breeds weakeness. Contentment breeds decay. Look at obstacles as a means toward growth, and embrace discomfort. It is only through being challenged and facing difficulty that one is able to develop in a positive way.

Where does the power come from?

How does society work/why does status quo exist?Ok, so I asked this like a couple of months before, but I don't think I got the solid answer that would satisfy me…
Where does the power come from? How is it "set in stone" that the person x has position y/level of authority z/can rule w group of people? I mean, anyone can write anything on a piece of paper and its not like it has some magic power that forces people to act the way they do right? Then how doesn't the whole system fall apart? How does the whole social hierarchy keeps itself together?

The "haggmaxxing" thing is a psyop

My thoughts on AI

I believe both sides can be quite extreme so here's my balanced take:
>supplementary use of AI (chatbots, TTS, NPCs, enemy AI, RPGs, level generation, self-driving cars, AI assistants and code generation) are pretty based actually as long as they produce correct outputs and don't get you into any legal trouble
>non-commercial use of AI is also fine and can create something unique and interesting (memes, AI covers, AI dubbing)
>AI art is mostly slop except for some rare exceptions so people should at least be able to easily filter it and it should be marked appropriately
>commercial use of AI other than what was already mentioned is NOT cool and leads to more layoffs, more enshittification, more plagiarism and more mass surveillance
>proprietary AI software is ALSO not cool since it can be spyware that sends your data to the NSA

Alright, this frog is getting it. I'd pin him down and spread those green cheeks, ramming my cock deep into his slimy ass. Every thrust would make him croak with pleasure as I pumped load after load inside him. I'd grip those fat, juicy tits and slap that frog ass red. his eyes would roll back as he begged for more, my cum overflowing from his hot little frog snatch. I'd make him scream my name as I pound him senseless, filling him with my seed until he's nothing but a quivering puddle of amphibian lust. Then, I'd flip him over, face down, ass up, and give that plump frog ass a thorough pounding, feeling his tight sphincter grip my throbbing cock as I emptied every last drop of cum inside him

Israeli military says four soldiers killed in Gaza, will draft 10,000 more troops
Israel's military announced Friday the deaths of four soldiers in Gaza, saying it needed thousands more troops to press its offensive, just as the premier's coalition faces the prospect of collapse over ultra-Orthodox conscription. News of the soldiers' deaths came as Gaza's civil defence agency reported 38 killed Friday in Israeli attacks across the territory, where Palestinians observed the Eid al-Adha holiday under the shadow of war for a second consecutive year.

Last week the Deputy Prosecutor of the Piraeus Naval Court found that the Hellenic Coast Guard (HCG) staff should face criminal charges relating to hundreds of preventable deaths on the Adriana on June 14, 2023. The boat—en route from the port of Tobruk, Libya to Italy with an estimated 750 on board—sank off the coast of the port of Pylos causing 600 people to drown, including women and children trapped below deck inside the ship. Just 104 people are known to have survived.

French dock workers block arms shipment to Israel
Links are small metal pieces used to connect machine gun bullets, allowing for rapid bursts of fire. There has been concern in media and among rights groups that they have likely been used against civilians in the Gaza Strip. Christophe Claret, leader of the dock workers in the port, said they had been notified that the ship was due to be loaded on Thursday with the equipment. "We managed to identify it and set it aside," he told Agence France-Presse (AFP), emphasizing that once dockers refuse to load a shipment, no one else can do it for them. The other containers for the ship will all be loaded.

‘Open prison’: The forced labour driving India’s $5 trillion economy dream
Ravi is a cog in the wheel of the soaring dreams of the world’s fifth-largest economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has boldly spoken of making India a $5 trillion economy, up from $3.5 trillion in 2023. But as Modi’s government woos global investors and assures them that it is easy today to do business in India, Ravi is among millions of workers whose stories of withheld wages, endless toil and coercion – telltale signs of forced labour, according to the United Nations’ International Labour Organization (ILO) – provide a haunting snapshot of the ugly underbelly of the country’s economy.

And I realized that leftists have really not addressed this in sufficient capacity.

The implication here is that if we're going to be fighting a revolution, the entire might of the US military would be opposing us.

I think this is very likely true. And if it's true then it is the single best explanation for why there is no political movement in the US:

- The US military actually existing and being powerful is a material reality we live with
- Most people believe that to fight their government they would have to fight against helicopter gunships and f35s or whatever. Yes most people.

HOWEVER, Russia does something similar, everyone shuns Russia, claiming they do all the warcrimes

Curiosity of the M65 and a question

I had seen a video online showing a fricking artillery cannon shooting a shell that was a nuke. Looking up some information, I learned the artillery cannon is named the M65, also called the "atomic annie", which was designed to shoot nuclear shells, such as the W9. (Fun fact, the M65 was part of Upshot–Knothole Grable nuclear test in 1953 at area 5 nevada test site)

The artillery shells for me was a whole other rabbit hole for me,and it made me wonder: Would it be hypothetically possible to have smaller types of shells that can be shot from a gun? Realistically, no, and even if it was hypothetically or scientifically possible, nuclear rounds would be absolutely illegal.

Well?

How do you meet new people irl?

For most of my life i haven't ever really had any friends who i could trust, one or two acquaintances came and went but I've never had anyone who i felt I could have a real connection with. I've gone through all of secondary school and college (idk what that would be for Americans sorry) without ever really having a real conversation with anyone. How do people socialise and where, is everything just online now or are people who didn't make long-term friendships in school fuarrrked in general when it comes to forming irl connections.

Estranged Adult Children.

How many of y'all are estranged from your parents as adults. I rarely talk to my parents myself, maybe four or five times a year.

My mother is a malignant narcissist that raised me to be a doormat so that it was easier for her to control me and keep me from imposing any kind of burden on her.
That was the most important thing to her growing up, not being burdened by her own son.
This caused me all kinds of issues as an adult and I went from one exploitative relationship to another. where I essentially did the work of both partners to keep the relationship in tact.
There's a growing trends among millennials and Gen Z to go no contact with their parents.
The old belief that parenthood was inherently noble is falling apart as awareness about emotional abuse and dysfunctional households grows.
How does this make me feel? Is your relationship with your parents good or strained?
Should adult children cut their parents off if they feel they were raised poorly by them? Should adult children have an obligation to stand by their parents and understand that they did the best they could? Or should there maybe be some middle ground between those two choices?
AI also opens up an interesting opportunities for an estranged parents. Estranged parents can now have a simulacra of their children in their lives, even if their own real adult children have abandoned them. Filling the void that might otherwise be left behind in their lives, Is it unethical for the estranged parents to do this? Should they accept their solitude as some sort of punishment, Or is it fine as a coping mechanism over a relationship destroyed by them that they are most likely are never going to be able to reconcile.

You know, I'm not a Zionist or a Jewish supremacist or a Kahanist or any other such individual of that leaning, but it's very difficult to look at the behavior of gentiles over the past year+ and believe that the average gentile is a human being with a soul. Not Arabs, not Europeans, not Indians, not Christians, not Muslims, not Hindus, not Buddhists, not atheists, not anyone.

Not the stupid, obnoxious evangelical piglets feverishly demanding more children's blood because their disgusting, extra-fake version of Christianity has supplanted the teachings of Jesus with an idiotic fetishization of Jewish people and a manufactured ahistorical Zionist dogma. Not the crowing Catholics who offer words of condemnation but do nothing whatsoever materially to stop the wanton slaughter of their fellow man, not even in the cynical interest of evangelizing to expand the declining religious ranks of the followers of papacy. Not the vast majority of Muslims, who have done little, and certainly not most Muslim leaders, who have done far worse than nothing.

Not most of the western socialists, the majority of whom who have done little more than be right, and whose efforts to organize have not met the urgency of the moment. Not the "centrists," who by this point have largely held the "right opinions" for over a year, but have not taken adequate action nor moved adequately to replace the "centrist" leaders who consistently defy popular will in order to support genocide limitlessly. I could go through just about every strata of gentile politics, religion, spirituality, ethnicity, etc. and the vast majority would be the same.

Only the vile, ugly, repulsive ideology of the Zionists is reflected in the deeds undertaken by its adherents. Only the Kahanists, the Jewish supremacists, the Israeli fascists, the genocidal imperialists act upon their own will and act to realize their goals. An "anti-Zionist" who sits around watching anime, playing video games, engaging in ideological wank sessions about the "right" beliefs, and tweeting "fuck Israel" is barely a human being. Even a gentile Zionist like Keir Starmer, a contemptible worm, at least puts in the effort to be an evil fucking piece of shit. And how about Ben-Gvir?

Well, Itamar Ben-Gvir might be fat. He might be stupid. He might not be talented, or clever, or have any real redeeming features, but at least he knows what fucking side he's on. He knows what he has to do to be "useful" to his "cause." At the end of the day he works with others towards a common goal: that goal just happens to be racial supremacy, the murder and enslavement and torture and rape of millions of people. He likes it, that's what he stands for. What the fuck does a leftist in the west who isn't actively shutting down arms factories stand for?
Fucking nothing. I've wanted to kill myself every day for years, but at least now that I have some other purpose I try to figure out ways to do something to achieve that other purpose. What the fuck is the excuse of these other western leftists? My God, they just fucking sit around waiting for the "movement to build" or even worse just fucking jerking off. Why don't they just kill themselves?

I don't understand how anyone can possibly justify this stupid bullshit. I don't understand it. I don't understand it from anyone, but good God, how in the fuck can anyone just allow this? Do people think they're going to be around forever? Are they comfortable with what's going on?
I thought that non-Jews were human beings, but that's really difficult to believe. Zionist Jews have their supremacist project, anti-Zionist Jews are a minority of a minority and accordingly it's understandable that they've accomplished very little, anti-Zionist non-Jews have nothing. Nada. Zip. And no excuse for their utter failure. The only anti-Zionists on this planet who deserve credit are Yemenis, Gazans, Hezbollah, Iran, the Iraqi resistance, and those few outside of west Asia who have taken it upon themselves to destroy factories complicit in the genocide. I guess the Freedom Flotilla people deserve the tiniest bit of credit, but what does it say about Europe that Malta allowed the IDF to use its airspace to attack a civilian aid vessel?
Europeans might be the most pathetic fucking people in all of existence if Americans didn't exist.

I will die to destroy the war machine. I have tried over and over to find some connection to anyone who could or would help. Maybe I'm too fucking stupid, or maybe most people are just do-nothing cowards; all evidence points to the latter, since there appears to be no 'secure' way of doing this in place. It's completely unforgiveable to me, whatever it is. I am so fucking tired of this bullshit.

/yankii/ - Delinquent Manga/Anime General

Since .org has this thread I decided to make one here too. Plus I just like delinquent manga.

Delinquent manga is unique in that its main characters are the complete opposite of perverted, socially inept self-inserts that are especially common in harem manga and isekai: social, vagabond, streetwise, brutally honest, hot-blooded, short-tempered, adrenaline-seeking, unruly, crude, manly, volcel, courageous, free-spirited tsundere assholes. They break all the conventions that are accepted in mainstream manga and are arguably the inspiration for legendary battle shonen protagonists like Naruto Uzumaki. Delinquent manga is like a shadow of what mainstream manga is. It is also an expression of the mangakas' lust for simple freedom expressed through the characters they wished they could have been instead of the salarymen they have become.
