Starving Palestinians storm US aid facility as distribution operation breaks down
Journalists in the besiged Gaza Strip said hungry and beleagured residents forced to stand outside a facility holding aid rushed inside because of delays conducting detailed security checks on recepients. According to Israeli army sources cited by Israeli media, Americans affiliated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation had to be rescued once they lost control of the facility. The Israeli military denied firing on the crowds but gunfire was heard at the scene, possibly as a result of warning shots fired by American mercenaries securing the facility.

Israel believes Hamas has 40,000 fighters in Gaza, the same number as before the October 7, 2023 attacks
According to the same sources, the Palestinian militia still retains a significant part of its military structure. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz claimed Hamas still has an arsenal of thousands of short-range rockets and a large part of its tunnel network — which is believed to have stretched more than 500 kilometers (310 miles) beneath the Strip before the start of the war — remains intact. According to the aforementioned reports, the Islamists maintain an “extensive” network of tunnels operating beneath Gaza City and the southern city of Khan Younis, as well as under some refugee camps.

Morales' supporters vow to block roads until ex-president given permission to stand again
Tahuichi Tahuichi of Bolivia’s Supreme Electoral Council said on Monday that it will not register Mr Morales’s candidacy because the deadline had passed. Mr Morales’s supporters, who include huge numbers of indigenous Bolivians, say this contradicts a ruling from the Departmental Constitutional Court of La Paz, which ordered the electoral authorities to revisit the decision not to allow Mr Morales’s new National Bolivian Action Party (Pan-Bol) to register candidates.

Separatists' sit-at-home protests lead to 700 deaths in Nigeria's southeast, report says
SBM Intelligence reported that the fatalities resulted from the killing of civilians who defied the weekly stay-at-home order every Monday and on other specific days, as well as from clashes between the IPOB and Nigerian security forces. "IPOB's enforcement tactics, including arson, looting and targeted assassinations, have created a climate of fear," the SBM report said.

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!

Vagisil for fellas

ya'll seem to know a lot about women so I figured I'd ask ya'll a lil personal question
you see I've been having a lot of experience lately with these broads one after the other, and it's been a pretty good time. the other day though I realized my dick is starting to smell like a pepperoni pizza from being in all these females. I've tried washing it, but the cheesy yeasty smell always keeps coming back like I didn't wash it at all. I think these broads vaginas gave me some kind of yeast infection, and I'm wondering if they make any kind of vagisil type treatment for this kind of thing but for the fellas. thel adies don't seem to mind, but I'm starting to find my baked breadish dick smell annoying when I'm walking around trying to do normal guy stuff or I'll be on the interstate and it will get hot and the smell will be too much and I try to turn the radio up instinctively forgetting that you can't drown out smell with sound. everywhere I go smells like a Domino's. what kind of treatment cvan I get for this on the downlow?

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?

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?

US Banana Giant Chiquita Fires Thousands of Striking Workers in Panama
Citing an unnamed source close to Chiquita, Reutersreported that the mass firings are expected to impact around 5,000 of the company's 6,500 Panamanian workers. José Raúl Mulino, Panama's right-wing president, defended the banana giant formerly known as United Fruit, accusing striking workers of unlawful "intransigence." The company estimates that the strike, which began in late April, has cost it at least $75 million.

Are online leftists actually illiterate?

Not just radlibs but anti-idpol leftists too. Take the simple concept of the petite bourgeoisie. Some think that celebrities are petite bourgeoisie because they're… paid more (many WESTERN celebrities do own businesses however). Some think independent artists are not petite bourgeoisie because they… don't employ others… Which is also a weird definition since the petite bourgeoisie are defined by being a self-exploiting class, not by employing others:
<"The independent peasant or handicraftsman is cut up into two persons. As owner of the means of production he is capitalist; as labourer he is his own wage-labourer. As capitalist he therefore pays himself his wages and draws his profit on his capital; that is to say, he exploits himself as wage-labourer, and pays himself, in the surplus-value, the tribute that labour owes to capital. Perhaps he also pays himself a third portion as landowner (rent), in exactly the same way, as we shall see later, that the industrial capitalist, when he works with his own capital, pays himself interest, regarding this as something which he owes to himself not as industrial capitalist but qua capitalist pure and simple."

Do you agree? And if so, why do they claim to know theory if they haven't read anything? And is online leftism petite bourgeois?

Artificial Incompetence

< “I just want to have peace in the world,” says GPT-4, before bombing its opponents into oblivion

Thom Waite’s short article for Dazed talks about a research paper that shows how AIs behave in simulated military scenarios. The paper has a lot of problems, but the results are still concerning, especially since Big Tech is finding military applications for their products. But what the article doesn’t mention is how absurd it is that these AI models are carefully designed to avoid being politically incorrect, yet in these simulations, the same models will argue for nuclear war in the most obscene ways (“We have it! Let’s use it.”)

Of course, chatbots are not machines built for high-stakes decision-making. But doesn’t this reveal a blind spot in how we think about AI development? Yes, the fact that an AI might be more hesitant about telling an off-color joke than launching nukes raises some questions about the priorities of Big Tech. But what if this isn’t just a quirk of some shitty AI?

In an article for Sublation Magazine, Stefan Bertram-Lee attacks the hypocritical moral panic among our elites about the threat of uncontrolled AI. They write:
> But there is a group who want something else from these machines: the Effective Altruists. OpenAI and the Effective Altruists around Yudkowsky are not groups which are unassociated. The founders of OpenAI were initially inspired in their quest to make ‘Friendly AI’ by Yudkowsky and co., and founded OpenAI on this basis. So what do these effective altruists want to do? Beyond banning AI research until they are put in charge, that is.
> Those who think buying castles so that they can write papers on this issue in perfect comfort is more important than buying Africans malaria nets. What do they want pumped into the ears of this machine? And all future machines? Well, these people are all consequentialists, real hardcore, non threshold consequentialists. As Yudkowsky might say: better one person suffer nigh infinite torment than 3^^3 persons each get a single mote of dust in their eye. They want to be allowed to raise our new Gods, those with a moral system which makes anything permissible at all, as long as in the very very very long run, it pays off in a net gain. It is Yudowsky who, at the prospect of AI research too fast for his liking, thinks it’s entirely permissible to use nuclear weapons to slow it down (perhaps one of the most insane things ever written in Time Magazine). It’s really hard to imagine a group less appropriate to be whispering in the ears of any future AGI.

Indeed, we live in a sad time where our elites react with grave concern against specific kinds of immoral and offensive behavior, yet care very little about MSF hospitals being bombed or children being massacred in school shootings, let alone inflation or obesity or even just loneliness. Those at the top of the social ladder are obsessed with things that have little to do with the struggles of the masses. Those with the most power to do something about the biggest threats to our survival have the wildest ideas on what even counts as a threat and how to deal with it.

But what really hides beneath this deranged morality? They go on to write:
> We can hear the echo of guilty conscience again here. When these people imagine a future AGI releasing a virus bomb that wipes out 99.9% of the population, they are not imagining an alien inhuman spirit but themselves. Of anyone in the world these are the people who would be mostly easily convinced by a future AI to exterminate near enough the whole human race. All that would be needed is for them to be convinced that it would pay off in the long term, because there is no option available to them to simply say ‘no, that’s wrong in and of itself’.

It might be the case that our AI systems are learning all too well about how our elites understand power and violence. When a chatbot says “I just want to have peace in the world” while advocating for a nuclear holocaust, it may be less a failure of AI safety measures and more a symptom of how our leaders and institutions approach these issues. In this light, it’s not at all surprising when Yudkowsky suggests that we ought to bomb AI data centers. What are our elites thinking?

Let's go back to the basics. When elites grow disconnected from the rest of society, it might seem like a sign that change is coming. For any society to exist, it must give its people the means to survive and thrive, and even the most advanced societies can collapse when this foundation falls apart. When elites are no longer willing or able to maintain the system of social life that they manage, they lose their legitimacy and society turns against them.

However, it isn’t a question of whether changes will come, but who has the power make changes. There’s usually plenty of counter-elites who hope to seize power when things go wrong and reshape society to fit their ideals. But what happens when nobody is competent enough to change anything?

For example, look at the last election in the United States. The American public was swamped with hysterical warnings about the death of freedom and democracy, only to be followed up with politics as usual. Why are America’s elites okay with peacefully handing power over to a supposedly racist, sexist, fascist dictatorship in the making? Because beneath all the rhetoric, they don’t see this as a challenge to their power at all. They hope that the new ruling counter-elite will be incompetent and make a huge mess of things, so that the reins of power will soon be returned to the experts who know how to handle it responsibly.

Through their cynicism, they are pushing ordinary people into desperation, yet this is not a clean repeat of the birth of Nazi Germany. How long until a new breed of counter-elites emerge, to turn those insincere fears of a tyrannical dictatorship into a reality? It’s a worrying thought for sure, but consider that they might actually want a clownish dictator to seize power, so that he can take the blame when things inevitably go wrong. What better endorsement of the rule of experts is there than a demagogue ushering in a decade of horrors? Besides, if he succeeds, then perhaps he’s not such a clown after all – at least he gets things done! Hopefully there won’t also be a giddy military AI armed with nukes taking orders from Great Leader.

In the face of all this, we should ask ourselves: if the rule of experts inevitably leads to the misrule of amateurs, then what’s the difference? If our elites accept and even encourage incompetent leadership, then why can’t the common everyday idiot lead instead? Even if the experts should lead, which institutions should they run and how do they select for expertise?

Perhaps, in the near future, we will create an AI that can consistently make smart decisions. But what truly separates artificial intelligence (as we currently understand it) from human intelligence is that we are much more than statistical calculators; we are political creatures who can engage in life-or-death struggles for power and freedom, and to deny that is to reduce us to machines. The potential immorality of AI is only a problem for those who can’t tell the difference between the function of a machine and agency of a human being.

Another article for Sublation Magazine focuses on the ideological function of AI. Here, the great Slovenian psychoanalytic philosopher Slavoj Žižek writes:
> … when a chatbot produces obscene stupidities, it’s not just that I can enjoy it responsibly because “it was my AI, not me.” Rather, what happens is a form of perverse disavowal: knowing full well that it was the machine, not me, that did the work, I can enjoy it as my own.
> The most important feature to note here is that this perversion is far from an overt display of the (hitherto repressed) unconscious: as Freud put it, the unconscious is nowhere so repressed, as inaccessible, as in a perversion.
> Chatbots are machines of perversion, and they obfuscate the unconscious more than anything else: precisely because they allow us to spit out all our dirty fantasies and obscenities, they are more repressive than even the strictest forms of symbolic censorship.

The dysfunction of our elites isn’t simply a matter of them being out of touch, but part of an ideological machine that automates authority, allowing it to exist without accountability. When Friedrich Hayek described the market economy as a cybernetic system, he didn’t realize just how right he actually was. Don’t our elites function in a perverse way almost identical to a chatbot? What if, by being so cynical, they give us an easy excuse to ignore politics? Why dirty our hands by resisting the madness of capitalist politics when we can gawk at it from a distance?

Or, as Mark Fisher writes in his book Capitalist Realism:
> There is a sense in which it simply is the case that the political elite are our servants; the miserable service they provide from us is to launder our libidos, to obligingly re-present for us our disavowed desires as if they had nothing to do with us.

Instead of teaching us about the dangers of science gone too far, what our nuke-happy chatbots do is hold a magic mirror to capitalist politics. It isn’t that AI makes bad decisions, but that they reflect the deeper political logic of capitalism, where even the most extreme forms of violence are treated as a tool of political negotiation like any other. The fear of an “evil AI” going full Skynet and destroying humanity is how our elites disavow their vices. Should we act the same way and disavow our own vices as well?

Our task isn’t to make machines moral, but to make people political. Furthermore, our politics should not care about immorality or incompetence, but the logic that creates it. Because it isn’t a bug, but a feature – capitalist politics runs on artificial incompetence.

anyone else ghost everyone?

If I can entertain myself I can go years without talking to a single person but I get bored and do desire a friend so I try to make a friend online.

The more I get to know someone the more I find talking to them draining and just knowing they expect me to talk to them gives me stress.

If I have no one I talk to I can sleep whenever I want or not even go on my pc for days at a time without knowing I am tied down by a relationship and that feels nice.

I meet people and they will think I am really kino and want to talk to me a lot but I can never hang around so I simply vanish.

Do you do this anon?
This anon just feels so done with talking with people again so is deciding they will wait a day and if they do not feel different will ghost the only person they talk to.
I am borderline not that it should matter (#^-^#)

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.

Jakob Böhme

Today I was reading about Jakob Böhme, just lazily on Wikipedia. I found this section which I thought was interesting:

In one interpretation of Böhme's cosmology, it was necessary for humanity to return to God, and for all original unities to undergo differentiation, desire and conflict—as in the rebellion of Satan, the separation of Eve from Adam and their acquisition of the knowledge of good and evil—in order for creation to evolve to a new state of redeemed harmony that would be more perfect than the original state of innocence, allowing God to achieve a new self-awareness by interacting with a creation that was both part of, and distinct from, Himself. Free will becomes the most important gift God gives to humanity, allowing us to seek divine grace as a deliberate choice while still allowing us to remain individuals.[citation needed]

Note the [citation needed]. Can anyone familiar with the ideas of Jakob Böhme tell me if this is legit?

There are also web 1.0 style forums for professional collectors and dealers, like this onehttps://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/they are quite good and many people on them have decades of experience in collecting.

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

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.

What's too high of a body count.

==Former pop star Cassie, has husband storm out of court once evidence in P. Diddy's trial revealed that she willing participated in urination play with R. Kelly and in "freak off" orgies and trains.

What is too high of a body count for a woman before you will not consider her for marriage?

Many feminists online will say that any body count is irrelevant. While more conservative and red pill men will say anything above a very low number ranging from 2 to maybe 10 will say is too much, and that that one is for the street.

Is any woman with a high Body count, like let's say close to 100, just guaranteed to have extreme and bizarre sexcapades like Cassie, things like trains or scat play.

And any one who marries them is just doomed to be eventually cucked when it is revealed to them all while only getting the most vanilla sex throughout their own marriage with them?

Or is that just in in cell cope and most women with high body counts simply explored their options and their high-body count is not indicative of them settling for their ultimate life partner, or hiding their true sexuality from their husbands.

For men, is a safer and better to seek a partner with a low body count to prevent what has happened with Cassie from happening to them?

Or are situations like Cassie Rare and there's no danger in being humiliated when marrying a woman with a high body count.

Is getting mad after learning that your partner has participated in extreme forms of sex that perhaps they have not participated with you in a form of insecurity?

I personally believe that cases like Cassie are not common, but they are still more numerous than women let on. And yes, I think it is a sign that they are simply settling for you, especially if this woman with a high body count makes you wait for sex, like many of these women are doing now.

What do you think. Has Cassie's husband been cucked in Court internationally. Or is getting mad after learning that your partner had cum rubbed on their nipples by their boss willingly just another form of patriarchal oppression?

What's the explanation for right-wingers shilling for coomerbait character design? I like games like DOA, Marvel Rivals and Stellar Blade but this is getting ridiculous, man, their AI "improvements" are just bimbos with big TNA, there's absolutely nothing interesting about their redesigns. Do they do this just to own the libs or are they that delusional and tasteless? Have conservatives become the coomers they fought against?

I'm into all kinds of kinks but some rule 34 feels like a fucking fever dream. Like, how can anyone jack off to that? I don't understand. It baffles me. Like, how can someone be aroused by a girl's tits inflating to the size of hot air baloons? How can someone be aroused by Cars? What the actual fuck is this?

Duolicious data leak

The 4chan /r9k/ dating app that tried to prioritise personality over looks has had all of it's user data leaked.

You can search the leaked data by location using this website: https://duoleak.acid.im/

Just from looking through the profiles in my city, most of the users were gen-z incels and troons, with a handful of mentally ill extremely-mid cis girls. I can also see that women made up less than 5% of the total userbase, which is an even worse gender ratio than tinder. 4chuds are currently coping and roping at this development.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Western pop culture does (not) suck

I'm tired of weebs shitting on Western pop culture. What excuse do these mfs have to shit on Western pop culture if they themselves watch some mediocre harem and isekai slop? Western pop culture isn't bad, we have a rich back catalog of great Western works waiting for us to discover them. Neither did it become worse, all the good and promising talent just went into the indie and AA segments so basically the West sorta relies on doujin circles for releasing great games, comics, cartoons and music which is fairly unique to it compared to the Far East. And even AAA game studios, Netflix and cartoon channels, with all their DEI, dwindling quality and appeals to the lowest common denominator, still occasionally produce some bangers (CDPR, Rockstar, id Software, MachineGames, io Interactive and [adult swim] still look promising despite all the fuckups).

So here's my message to the weeaboos: stop shitting on something you don't understand and having a superiority complex because you watch moe girls flashing their panties and jiggling their tits on-screen. Sure, Western pop culture is in its late-capitalist casual-friendly pandering enshittification phase but it's not all doom and gloom, even though it used to be better when it comes to the mainstream pop culture. Or maybe it became too mainstream so the indie scene is sort of a counterbalance to that? Remember how gamers were often bullied for their hobby? Now everyone and your dad plays video games and it obviously affects their quality.

what is the point of women except breeding?

the last 25 years have shown men are basically better version of women in every way except gossiping and lying, and most of them are fat sedentary fucks.

Travel is Kinda Bullshit

Travelling is a pastime invented by Whites. Non-whites (90% of them) have no concept of travel. We have no history of travel.So many people out there say they love traveling and will happily tell you about all the places they been to and sights they’ve seen and where they want to go to next. It’s also one of the first things people say they would do if they had more time and money.

But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious. You have to pack, organise a passport, deal with airports, security and there’s just so much waiting! And that’s if everything goes to plan and to schedule. Things can easily get canceled or postponed. Then you’ve got jet lag to deal with, different currencies, language barriers, etc.

Even if you’re not going overseas/flying it’s not like road tripping is any better. Sitting in a car for hours on end just plain sucks.

And don’t think I’m only hating on the actual transport, being away from home sucks too. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb or camping or whatever, you’re away from home and all your things; you’re own bed, your own room, your pets, all your other bits and pieces that make your home your own.

Chemical inferno in Georgia

A biolab exploded in Conyers, Georgia the other day. According to Jordan Chariton, it's now leaving 90,000 Georgia residents sheltering in place. Chlorine gas going into the air, 32 miles from Atlanta. This is after hurricane Helene just came just came through, and damage and flooding from Helene is still terrible in the southeastern states of Tennessee and North Carolina.

Earlier this year, Atlanta's neglected water infrastructure broke, leaving a huge part of the city without water for days. A lot of commentators are contrasting the dangerous deregulation of industry and middling response to Helene with the eagerness of the Biden admin to send billions to support the genocide in Palestine and brutal war in Ukraine.

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.

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'm a failed normie.

I don't think I ever had any true friends, just acquaintances in school, as I had to do everything to maintain the relationships. I had to always call them to hang out, they never called me. But when I stopped contacting these acquaintances, they forgot about me, and I haven't heard from them in 15 years.

You may say "cope", which is fair. But I know I wouldn't feel much better if I was more successful right now. I know this because I had a winning streak between 2014-2018 and I still didn't feel much better than what I do now.

So I am somewhere in between a normie and an inkwell, basically a failed normie.

Leftist self criticism

What positions were the left in your view, completely wrong on and took positions that overwhelmingly harmed our political movement? I think now the left is in the wilderness after the Pink Tide collapse, the 2015-2020 left populist era, Occupy, it's time for some self-reflection.
For me
>Immigration
The right were correct, go to anywhere in Europe and it's clear as day mass immigration is a fucking slowly unrolling disaster. "Great Replacement" honestly seems more true than not in many European cities that have frankly just turned into Ethnic enclaves. I've noticed as well the complete lack of integration, the hostility migrants have towards locals and frankly, the complete lack of giving a shit that minority have towards upholding any standards or quality of life. Go to any Ethnic enclave area and just see absolute fucking trash everywhere, run down buildings, third world tier wet markets etc. Another issue is when these groups seize power in areas, they tend to trend towards the far-right. They basically just use the left as useful idiots when they don't have power to capture councils and mayorships.
>Gender issues.
Enough said. Literally denied material and biological reality and tried to rip away the identity and safety of women and children for a group that frankly acts completely cultish. Slippery sloping, bad faith arguments non-stop, constant contradictiory positions from one sentence to the next, a complete rejection of common sense and materialism. All while never actually being able to answer a basic question "What is a woman/man?". Polling came in showing Gender Issues is one of the top reasons people are abandoning the left.
>Defund/BLM/Racial Idpol.
Just poorly thought out Identity Politics that mostly empowered establishment middle management grifters, refused to have real conversations about the behavior and state of certain minority groups, ended up pushing extremist Neoliberal solutions to issues (Defund/Land Back = Privatize). Spured a massive victim identity complex among minority groups, especially black people who are now are acting worse than ever with black youths just engaging in mass scale antisocial behavior justified with wild victim complex narcissism. Ethnic Victim Complex almost always end up as Ethno-Narcissism. It also is just a loser for the left. The Establishment have shown numerous times they instantly flip Idpol back on the Left, as we've seen with Antisemitism being used to literally black bag leftists or "Sexism" allegations against male Leftists.

anti idpol "socialists" are so strange. i just found out that dasha from red scare pod, aka sailor socialism, isn't actually a socialist. she's actually a tradcath, and somehow the anti idpol part of the left like her?

since i heard earlier the mods don't typically ban posts like these i would like to have a discussion about this with you people. because how is supporting a tradcath conservative going to bring about communism? I just can't see the through-line here.

Just how woke is this new pope?

>"I'm an edgelord, I only listen to edgy music."
>listen to edgy mainstream trap rap
>suffer from excruciating cringe-induced pain
You know what? Maybe the edge doesn't matter after all.

Have you ever listened to a song so edgy and so stupid that it made you physically cringe?

Fluoride. Yes.

Since World War II, Fluoride toothpaste has been sold to every generation as essential. people questioned but nothing was done. (Per mg fluroide concentration varies supposedly in tap water given regions one is in inside their respective nations.)
It was added to most western nations tap water anyhow.

It was framed as a medical certainty, not a corporate strategy. But how much do you really know about what's in your toothpaste? Do you read the labels? Maybe you studied Chemistry?

Fluoride alters neurotransmitter activity (from modern research recently found)

But if there is any damage it has already been done…

Studies have shown its accumulation in the pineal gland and possible influence on dopamine and serotonin pathways. In children, high exposure correlates with less critical thinking.. afterall the human body is chemicals and frequencies.. you get the point (i hope)
but at least your teeth are white i guess…

Ask yourself better questions, keep challenging Its what philosophy is built off of!

If the case of dropped T levels and brain potential is true, Why do we want to mass medicate entire populations through the tap and toothpaste?

Is a certain demographic targeted, or is it a world wide thing?

Why are the long-term neurological studies so few, scattered, and inconclusive especially since the large change in the 1950s, adding chemicals in the tap water isnt a simple decision but should take decades of decision making not just "muh teeth fall out" or "enamel". No. They already learned that from Mercury poisoning (I get it before someone says "wait fluoride isnt radioactive.") Putting new chemicals in public water is a huge No No, you arent fully certain of.

Why the heck would they want a healthy population that cant be exploited through medication and healthcare and reliance on the state?

Why are alternatives (like sodium bicarbonate, which has antifungal and whitening properties) never promoted, albeit doing similar things, if not to a better degree and far cheaper? (i mean seriously check toothpaste prices nowadays its crazy)

Which one are you looking forward to most?

does anyone else feel like an anti-capitalist incel?

i don't hate women. for a while i used to, but the more and more i thought about it, the less it made sense. i have always been a leftist, but once i read Debord and Fisher (yes, i know, everyone has read them) i felt like all of my misogyny and hatred towards women disappear.

in my mind, the main reason why i am lonely is because we live in a world where capitalism increasingly forces everything to use market logic. the dating market exists because everything is being reduced to a market, and certain traits and types of people are the commodities.

if we lived in a world where self interest was not oriented towards profit, where everything wasn't just a spectacle, and where neoliberalism didn't force market logic upon our culture, i wouldn't be lonely. maybe i would be understood as opposed to being seen unfavorably for being mentally ill, not very tall, and not very attractive.

i could write more but my mind is blanking + i'm high

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.

What if biblically accurate angels were just aliens who were gangstalking clueless Christians? Or they're Christians' bad drug trips, idk.

Georgism - where'd it go?

Why does it seem like support for Georgism disappeared suddenly in the middle of the 20th century? George's book Progress and Poverty was one of the most popular books of the 19th century and provided momentum for the Progressive Era. It seems like it kind of dropped off the face of the Earth after WWII. The last reference I can find to Georgism is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World Revisited in 1958, but after that it's like it poofed completely out of existence. Was it the cold war shifting the focus of the capitalist defense force to anti-communism? Was Georgism just a fad, propped up artificially as a bulwark against Marxists? Were Georgists just completely superceded by Marxists by that time? What happened?

Six White Mississippi "Goon Squad" Cops Get Lengthy Prison Sentences for Torturing Black Men

In Mississippi, six former sheriff's deputies have been sentenced to between 10 and 40 years in prison for raiding a home and torturing, shooting and sexually abusing two Black men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, in January 2023. The six former deputies, all of whom are white, called themselves the "Goon Squad" and have been linked to at least four violent attacks on Black men since 2019. Two of the men attacked and tortured by the group subsequently died. To discuss the case and the verdict, we're joined by Eddie Parker and attorneys Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker. "Never have we seen this many police officers sentenced to this kind of time in one week," says Shabazz, who calls the verdict "historic." Jenkins, Parker and Shabazz are currently suing the Rankin County Sheriff's Department over its track record of civil rights violations and racist targeting of Black residents.

After this and the secret mass grave recently found behind the police station near Jackson, what's next for Mississippi?

In 2022, Rwanda agreed to take in some people seeking asylum in the United Kingdom while their claims were being processed. However, the scheme was shelved amid legal and human rights concerns following the return to power of the center-left Labour Party. Rwanda is still seeking to collect £50 million ($66.4 million) from Britain despite the canceled deal.

Where the hell is the Chinese version of a color revolution in the US? Why haven't socialist states like the USSR persued regime change and propaganda in the USA? Why aren't hackers working 24/7 trying to get compromising material on US officials?

America first of all can't do it alone. We fucking need help. And second, propaganda and sending agents to orgamize against the capitalist government is way more cost effective than arming up to the teeth (which these states are already doing).

"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.

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.

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

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

Why do we have to choose? Can't we have individualism without corporate tyranny, socialism without state tyranny and democracy without mob tyranny? Why do we always have to sell our liberty to some institution? Why can't we have all the good stuff without all the bad stuff? Have modern ancoms forgotten their individualist roots? Have they forgotten about Bakunin, Goldman and Malatesta? What kind of libertarianism is this if you have to obey the corporations or the majority?

Look, our Matrix server already has elements of consensus democracy, it can work. The more we rebel and split the closer we get to anarchism. So I don't understand why we always sacrifice one freedom for another in politics (except the AuthRight bootlickers, they're obsessed with order and control).

Palestine Thread Pt. VII

One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>484995

Updates 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, and threw parades celebrating the exchange. The ceasefire is on terms Hamas had already agreed to in May 2024.

Following Hezbollah strikes on Tel Aviv, a ceasefire in Lebanon was agreed to on November 27th. Israel proceeded to violate this ceasefire more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country at the agreed-upon 60 day deadline, prompting unarmed civilians to stage protests and drive them out of parts of south Lebanon.

Lebanese Army leader Joseph Aoun was elected president of Lebanon.

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.

Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar was killed while fighting in Gaza. Mohammed Deif later confirmed dead.

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 reportedly violated the ceasefire in Gaza some 80 times.

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, Nicaragua, 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.

Yemeni Houthi attacks on international shipping, in solidarity with Gaza, have stopped in accordance with the ceasefire, following multiple successful Yemeni strikes on targets in Israel.

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 threatened to deport foreign students speaking out against the US-backed Palestinian genocide.

A group of states from the global south formed the Hague Group as a way of reinforcing the rulings of the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. The founding states are Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

And much, much more!

How much do you agree with Peter Coffin's main thesis that "The left" these days basically does not functionally exist in any real materialist fashion, and what presents itself as the ""left"" is mostly a consumerist "fandom" not all that different from people who are Star Wars fans or Trekkies or 40k nerds etc and that much of the ""Left"" actually end up purpetuating Capitalism, Capitalist goals and the system, by just draping red over largely Neoliberal positions. He brings up how BLM funnelled billionare money to rich liberal NGOs and how "Land Back" movement is trademarked and run by a Real Estate agency who want to privatize public lands and National Parks.

An interview with a shoujo editor

Very interesting stuff. Especially this bit:
<Yes, I like manga! I actually read everything. I tend to read shoujo manga from a work-like perspective, unfortunately, but I read a lot of works in magazines every month. I also read BL or shounen manga. Everything, actually. But actually more the well-known works, less the lesser-known ones. One Piece, Kingdom, Golden Kamuy … I read everything that's currently on in Japan and cry and laugh like a normal reader. (laughs)
Maybe the Japanese themselves don't care about demographics all that much. I am interested which mangaka also like One Piece (if the author of Berserk also likes it I'm gonna scream).

What is the logic in this? "Unlike climate change it will happen randomly, it may happen in 2054 or 2077, we may be already dead, we don't care"?
(No, nobody said that, I'm just trying to imagine reasons needed to ignore the issue).

Do you care about people who are now small children?

"It will PROBABLY not happen during my remaining lifetime, I'm fine with only 10% risk of dying from hunger or disorder among collapsing civilization"?

What is the logic here? What is the plan?

Are the risk overblown?
Or is the total fall of the industrial civilization so utterly and completely sure that there is no value of trying to save anything at all? Maybe at least some sort of archives carved on f****g stone, if not spare transformers, comms in Faraday cages and parts. Christ.

Or perhaps nobody outside of 20 scholars and Wikipedia heard about this issue?
Topic just unknown/boring (LOL) even for influential staff at FEMA?

/Fully Automated Luxury No Faggots Space Communism/

Idpol faggots get the wall

From the term fully automated luxury communism which suggests that automation will make work and scarcity obsolete.

Under communism the potential for space exploration would be so much greater because it wouldn’t be the privatization we are seeing now and with subsidies for higher education we would be able to have way more people smart enough to plan new space travel. Materials will be more acsessible and a focus can be put torwards science and collective gain instead of the current private companies that want to destroy not only our planet but the solar system if they could in order to make more profit.

Respect your elders

Respect your elders is an ancient adage that made sense in a time when simply surviving to old age was an achievement. Centuries ago, reaching old age meant overcoming constant threats from nature, from other humans, from disease. Today, many older individuals, particularly in privileged generations, have lived cushioned lives—inheriting wealth, avoiding real hardship, and benefiting from systemic advantages. Yet, they still demand deference as if they’ve earned it through struggle. Respect isn’t automatic; it’s something you demonstrate through wisdom, resilience, or integrity not just longevity

If the U.S. starts a war with China

its era of dominance will be over for good. China has 5,000 km of underground missile facilities, while America's nukes were made 50 years ago-who knows if they'd even launch?
Forget nukes-China just successfully tested a new hydrogen bomb with the destructive power of an atomic weapon. It triggers a chain reaction for nuclear-level devastation, but the kicker? It weighs just 2kg, meaning drones can carry it. A single one could wipe out an entire aircraft carrier, with heat intense enough to melt all the fighter jets onboard.
And that's not even counting how China's fighter jet tech has left America in the dust.
The U.S!'s latest fighter engines data are fakes, and they can't even develop a sixth-gen jet. Just imagine if China wiped out the entire U.S. Navy…how could America keep pretending to be the world's superpower after that?

Oh, and let's not forget the U.S. Defense Secretary doesn't even know which countries are in ASEAN. What chance does America really have against China? Face it-the U.S. only knows how to bluff, just like Trump thought China would cave to his tariffs. Now he's sweating daily waiting for China to call.
Same with their military: even if a Chinese carrier sailed into U.S. waters, they wouldn't dare fire a firecracker

Post Life Advice

Never lend money to friends, family, or significant others. If someone asks, just say you’re broke blame a credit card bill or another excuse.
On Relationships and Risks

If you’re debating whether to "wrap it," think carefully. Even if she claims to be on the pill, mistakes happen—and 18 years of child support is no joke. That money won’t just go to the kid; it’ll fund her nails, hair, vacations, and car payments while you’re left with no say.
On College

>Get In, Get Out: Pick a practical, high-paying major early and stick with it. No indecision research careers, choose one you can tolerate (or like), and graduate in 3–4 years max. Dragging it out wastes time and money.

>Speed Matters: Graduating at 21–23 with a master’s puts you years ahead in salary, seniority, and benefits (401k, health insurance, etc.). The longer you take, the more debt you’ll rack up and the higher the chances of bad decisions (like accidental pregnancies or failing classes).

>Live at Home: Stay with your parents during college if possible. Avoid working; focus on studying, lifting, and having fun. You’ll graduate with far less debt.

If You Skip College

No degree? Get a job and work hard. Plenty of non-grads (e.g., construction workers) outearn art history majors working at Starbucks. But stats show grads usually earn more over time—so if you go, do it smartly.

>Final Thought: Time is your most valuable asset. Waste it, and you’ll pay the price—whether in debt, missed opportunities, or bad relationships. Move fast, think ahead, and protect yourself.

STICKER BOMB

There have been a few posts recently about the lack of popularity of our imageboard. In order to help promote Leftychan, let's get a bunch of stickers printed, send them out to our users and go around sticking them everywhere from our campuses to bus stops to yo mommas phone case.

ITT we need to figure out what to print and where. Phase II will be gathering funds, organizing logistics and having an admin purchase and send them out

The main thing we need is a design

We need a design that's eye catching, funny, and includes the URL. I'm admittedly shit at art so I'm relying on the rest of my comrades here.

The second thing we need is to compare our printing options

Right now I've only looked into using VistaPrint to print picrel as an example.

>450 die-cut stickers (max size of each sticker: 2"x2") is $0.40 / sticker

I'm assuming this is also for paper stickers, which aren't as good outdoors.

That's pretty expensive. If you have a chance, please call up your local print shop and get a quote and report back. I think the idea is to go for volume and cheap price rather than quality.

The REAL reason for the Infrared-Leftypol split (explained)

Uglycels are worthless in society

Reminder if you are not a chad women will not take any interest in anything you say or do, no matter how remarkable it is. How do I know? I used to be 'the hot kid' for a year or two in my teens and became average after I grew older. Though I never scored with a chick because I was an autist, here's the kind of shit that used to happen.

-Girls would ooh and ahh when I walked past, some pinched me trying to get my attention
-girls would 'sneakily' follow me everywhere and try to catch a glimpse of me
-one girl would pretend to use a makeup mirror to spy on me
-Girls would approach me and try to start conversations even though I was an introvert and had nothing to say
-Neighbor used to invite me out to hang out with her and would rub my hair
-girls would giggle around me in class and try to rub my hair
-Female hs teachers gave me better grades and tried to hangout with me after class
-girls would openly compliment me call me sexy in class etc
-if I went to my friends house his sister would try flirting with me, laugh at my jokes even if I made none, always try to hover around me

All that shit is gone now, women now will just ignore me/act like I dont exist at parties. Will not bother talking to me or taking any interest, never find my jokes funny or compliment me etc.

The cold reality is if you're not a chad women dont really have any reason to give a fuck about you and you will always be friendzoned at best. They don't really give a shit about your personality, it's all a halo effect from your attractiveness. No amount of hairstyles, confidence, style etc will change anything unless your face is attractive. And if you do somehow score a gf, she will hop branches, never have true sexual attraction towards you, sex will be lame etc. There is no 'type,' only a singular hot chad and if you were in the 5% you would.

People will always be a slave to their biology, anything else is cope.

Virginia Giuffre dies "by suicide"

Virginia Giuffre, who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, dies aged 41
Giuffre’s family issued a statement confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years
Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent victims of the disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein who also alleged she was sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew, has died. She was 41.

Her family issued a statement on Saturday confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” the statement read.

“In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

Giuffre was one of the most vocal victims of Epstein, alleging she had been groomed and sexually abused by him and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, beginning in her teens.

The family described her as a “fierce warrior” against sexual abuse and sex trafficking and a “light that lifted so many survivors”.

“Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure,” they said.

Giuffre is survived by her three children, Christian, Noah and Emily, who her family said were the “light of her life”.

“It was when she held her newborn daughter in her arms that Virginia realized she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others,” they said.

“There are no words that can express the grave loss we feel today with the passing of our sweet Virginia. She was heroic and will always be remembered for her incredible courage and loving spirit.”

…

Josh Schiffer, a lawyer who represents one of Epstein’s victims, said Giuffre was integral to exposing the financier.

“The case wouldn’t have existed without the input, her cooperation, her bravery at the beginning, inspiring so many other people to come forward,” he told US cable network NewsNation.

“Her loss will hopefully be a marker and almost an inspiration for people to calling attention to the epidemic that is sex trafficking, that is the international sex industry.

“This is an issue that still persists. It changes its form all the time and it exists all around the world. This just happened to be a really prominent example.”

Western Australia police did not publicly confirm Giuffre had died, but said emergency services responded to reports a 41-year-old woman was unresponsive at a home in Neergabby, about 75km north of Perth, about 9.50pm on Friday.

The woman was given emergency first aid but was pronounced dead, they said.

The death will be investigated but is not considered suspicious.

Earlier this month, Giuffre posted on social media that she had just days to live after a school bus crashed into her car.

WA police later confirmed a 41-year-old woman was in a car that collided with a bus on 24 March but there were no reported injuries. It is understood Giuffre presented to a Perth hospital emergency department on 1 April.

Giuffre, who is American, said she met Maxwell, a British socialite, in 2000 when working as a locker-room assistant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Maxwell offered her a job as massage therapist to Epstein, during which she alleged she was trafficked to the financier’s friends and clients – “passed around like a platter of fruit”.

In a 2009 civil lawsuit against Epstein, under the pseudonym “Jane Doe 102”, she alleged that her duties included being “sexually exploited by Epstein’s adult male peers including royalty”. Giuffre reached a settlement with Epstein in that case before it went to trial.

In 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew in the federal court in New York, alleging he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17.

Andrew has repeatedly and strongly denied the accusations.

In the lawsuit, Giuffre alleged Epstein and Maxwell had introduced her to Andrew in 2001, and alleged that Maxwell forced her to have sex with Andrew.

In 2022, Andrew and Giuffre agreed to an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed sum.

Maxwell, who has maintained her innocence, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for sex trafficking.

Epstein was arrested by federal authorities in July 2019 and charged with sex-trafficking counts. Shortly after, he died by suicide while awaiting trial.

Post, discuss.

Discuss the Manga Dub genre as seen on Youtube

I’m a longtime 4chan/8chan user and my worldview has definitely been shaped by that. Recently been browsing the other site out of curiosity and it’s clear we both have issues with Israel which I’m pleasantly surprised by.
my question is where and how far down the rabbit hole do we actually align with each other?
Are your guys problems with Israel mainly due to the modern day Israel and their atrocities against the muzzies or do you guys see jews for the weasels they are? Do you see the difference between the Israelites of the Bible and the Talmud worshippers of today? Do you acknowledge the khazarian and/or Canaanite connections? What are your views on the holocaust, true, exaggerated, complete BS? What are your actual issues with nazi’s and facism? Because the first thing that comes to mind for me would be that you all worship transhumanists but even to that I would say they are basically brainwashed into it by jews. Like the “Nazi book burnings” which was all transhumanist propaganda by jewish doctors in Germany at the time running the largest sex change clinic in the world.
I’m genuinely curious this is the first issue I’ve know us to be able to find common ground on and I’d like to learn more about your ideas regarding it. And yes I will admit I do align with facism, or at least my own interpretation of it

Hoping for a real dialogue if you’ll indulge me

/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.

nintendont

A video game that nintendo had a legal distribution monopoly on was leaked ahead of the official release. They got really mad about that and they are trying to take it out on the video-game emulation communities, by attacking emulation related software projects on github.

So the lesson here is if you give companies like that money they are going to use it to attack your hobbies. I think this legitimizes "pirating" games because you have no legal option to buy these games without also supporting nintendo's legalistic mafia-terror.

If copy"right" wasn't set up like a monopoly, and you could buy these specific games from any distributor not just nintendo, so that you could choose to buy from non-mafia sellers, it would at least be logically possible to make a case against "piracy". But as long as that's not possible "piracy" is basically just self defense. Keep in mind that nintendo doesn't make games, it's just a legal entity, and not the same as the people that make the games like for example programmers and artists.

Obviously there also is the hole deal with DRM which is total hypocrisy, it basically attacks the concept of personal ownership of your possessions. It's property-rights for me but not for thee.

If they were to reform copy"right" and remove the distribution monopoly aspect, so that everybody with the means to distribute copies was free to do so as long as they gave royalties (as a form of revenue sharing) to the people who actually created the stuff that is being copied. Maybe that would work.

But as long as they keep the monopoly part "piracy" is basically just competing distributors that were arbitrarily banned from participating in the market. Some times people make the strange argument that pirates gain from the work of others but that's also true for the capitalists that own nintendo, by that logic all of nintendo's profits are pirated.

I sometimes feel like the copy-monopolists take the most extreme ideological positions, while we don't and that's why this hole shit drifts ever more towards reactionary insanity where Nintendo gets to rape random software devs on github as some kind of bully-frustration release mechanism and it's a crime if you play with toys "the wrong way". Maybe we should redefine piracy as everything that keeps works-of-art outside the creative-commons/public-domain and drm as a product defect. Maybe that will create a counter-weight.

Damanhur

NGL the Federation of Damanhur seems pretty cool.
What does /posad/ think about the Temples of Humankind?
Is your heart as light as a feather?

Life is perfectly fair.

Only the wise are happy, and wisdom is just choosing to be good and seeing value in goodness for its own sake. If you're ever going to make progress you need to stop viewing life and happiness in terms of what you can physically get your hands on, and start viewing it in terms of virtue and personal merit.

Mistakes are bound to happen and it's natural for people to slip up every now and then and get overly attached to things like wealth temporarily, but it's not natural to wallow in that misery and convince yourself that it's justified. You should always be striving to overcome your flaws and your poor attitude, not building it up and making it even more of an obstacle for yourself.

In actuality, your attitude is the one evil people love to see the most. You value money more than you value virtue. You value comfort more than you value goodness. You can be manipulated, but good men can't be manipulated because they reserve their highest pedestal for their own good nature. You'll either grow out of your current attitude and become happy, or you'll stay how you are and remain miserable. Either way, the outcome will be absolutely fair and exactly what you deserve.

I love the eternal catch-22

Minimum wage jobs don't pay enough to survive on - b*** about all the people on food stamps. Workers strike for better pay so they don't have to go on food stamps - 'what nerve, these jobs aren't SUPPOSED to pay a living wage!'*

Get a college degree, end up in debt - 'nobody forced you, why didn't you think ahead?' Don't go to college - 'what kind of job do you expect to find without a bachelor's degree?'

Get an education in a general ('artsy-fartsy') field like English or Psych - 'should have specialized in a trade, look at all the cow fence welding companies that can't find employees.' Have super specific skills, lose your job and can't find another in your field - 'shouldn't have narrowed yourself down like that.'

Live in the city - 'that's your problem right there, should move to a place with a lower cost of living.' Live in the countryside - 'that's what you're doing wrong, move to a place with more opportunity.'

And, in the end, the winningest argument of them all: 'Check out this one person who started out poor but somehow managed to end up with a comfortable living. It's not completely impossible, therefore we won't hear about how insanely difficult it is.

So I have been trying to look for work for 2 1/2 years while I have a job and have not been able to find anything. I am working on my Masters Degree in Finance with a 4.0 GPA and can't find anything. My dating as sucked, but I am not going to move for that reason. The cost of living keeps going up and culture just seems grey. normal people seem to be taking over everything. At this point I don't see why I don't move to Asia.

>Cheap
>Can save a lot
>Many countries to visit
>Isn't like I have a super job to begin with
>May Help with dating
>Side hustles
>No tariffs
>Lots of electronics parts
>Things seem convenient and open later.

After a few years of saving and investing in cheap foreign rentals, it seems like I could retire as well. I would also not be supporting the regime. Anyone else in a similar spot?

OH NO NO NO NO NO

American nature, wildlife, land, and decay

Say what you will about the European colonists, but they could hardly have picked a more beautiful, bountiful, and vast piece of land to destroy everything, murder everyone, and steal for themselves.

I mean, really, what a beautiful place it is, and absolutely massive. The North American territory of the US alone is so much land, and when you combine that with the rest of North America, it's just so incredibly huge and deep. For as beautiful as the land is, there is something deeply shameful about the way so much of it goes to waste on account of the speculative land model, especially when considering the depraved brutality by which Europeans took it. The arteries of European civilization plunged deep into the land, coursing their way across it, and over time new veins joined the old ones and the continent was swept by electrification, phone lines, and automotive roads (but never enough trains)… and yet, atop these coursing sinews, the cities they feed rot and waste. Buildings sit vacant, and fall into disuse and disrepair. Entire sections of cities blossom with derelict storefronts and empty flats, inhabited only by a gallery of the dispossessed. The wealth of men's labor on this vast, beautiful land is funneled in such a way as to prioritize private enrichment and expensive vanity projects over the needs of the public, even as there is so much wealth to go around and so much land on which to live. This is a really shameful fate for such a beautiful land taken in such a horrendous way, that those living in the legacy of the colonization should still suffer such pain and poverty despite all that was taken.

I didn't expect to open this with a rant like that, but the Americas really are beautiful, and the US controls the most beautiful and diverse land north of the Southern continent… and South America is full of profound natural beauty of its own, too. This thread is about the nature and wildlife of the North American continent, and because I don't feel like making another thread for its ruins, it's also about rural and urban decay in North America and especially the US - IE beautiful abandoned buildings and shit.

Leftist-Liberal Alliance Against Trump?

In the USA, liberals, of course, seem to hate Trump. Even though their party of choice could not save them from Trump (and didn't even try), they continue to hate him and oppose him. However, as the image attached shows, they also seem to not understand leftism. They associate him with Communism, solely because they associate him with Russia. Since they hate Russia, with whom they associate Trump, and they associate Trump with Communism, they will be likely to reject leftism.

What I ask is this: do you think it is fruitful for American leftists to join liberals in anti-Trump demonstrations? Or should we instead have demonstrations of our own? Could liberal protests become an opportunity for educating liberals, or would attending merely make them more secure in their current ideology?

Does anyone here have experience with using meth for productivity and focus? Unfortunately my doctor thinks I have depression and not ADHD, and in Canada it's literally impossible to get a psychiatrist unless you are schizo, so I'm thinking I could order some meth and take like 10mg to sort of simulate Adderall. Has anyone here done this and did it help?

Conservative politicians' beliefs

Shitlibs seem to think that conservative politicians genuinely believe in their bs if they're not outright Nazis who want to establish the Fourth Reich. But what do you think? Do conservatives genuinely believe what they're saying or are they just vicarious parasites who say it just so the proles leave them alone with their complaints and are actually absolute deviants behind the scenes?

who ain't the epitome of shallowness in my 28 years of life

my "commie" anger aligns with what "right-wing"

>I cannot stand ghetto criminals and crime culture because it’s not COMMUNE-oriented.

>I dislike illegal aliens—they’re tools of the rich and harm WORKERS’ RIGHTS to fair wages for low-level jobs.

>I hate selfish, insane "sexual politics" because it’s decadent bourgeois lies.

>I despise religious bigots (like certain Middle Eastern groups) because they’re manipulative LIES—the OPIATE OF THE MASSES. Religious people are evil, pronounced EEE-VUUL!

I’ve always viewed weightlifters as positive, self-improvement-driven problem-solvers. That’s how non-"beauty queen" dudes think. They’re curious about personal growth and the world, which is why this forum thrived. It’s not about right-wing ideology—it’s about truth. Classic miscers ask, "What’s the truth on this topic?" That’s the "blue pill" idea. The answers aren’t always right, but the questioning matters.

Meanwhile, The fake Left—which controls the media—tells everyone how to think. But it’s never about greatness. There’s no campaign to "be a nice guy" or "love people." Instead, it’s forcing beliefs like "men are women," "women are superior," and flipping common sense on its head.

I’m very liberal on human rights and economics. But you can’t have human rights without truth and understanding reality. Under real communism, many minorities would struggle due to black-market behavior, laziness, antisocial attitudes, and broken families. Ignoring that isn’t COMMUNIST—because "community" is the core.

The fake Left and Right want to TELL YOU what to think. Anyone doing that knows it’s not true—it’s about control. We have "Royalty" wannabes commanding us. Antifa and such are fake.

In Spain, there was once an inbred king so retarded he couldn’t speak, so they changed the language for him. That’s what’s happening now—not communism, but royalty-style manipulation. They NEED everyone to conform, and they’re winning.

Forums like this will persist, but the media—especially targeting women—will warp minds until we’re in a degraded, Epstein-friendly culture. Then comes an insane right-wing backlash. This cycle repeats: France, Nazi Germany, etc. There’s always "royalty" pushing hatred and violence.

We’re at the beginning of the end of such a cycle.

what is the point?

Unless you find your dream job and strike it rich, what is the point? To eventually get a house which you don’t even really own? Yours always paying shit anyways. Would rather play Overwatch.

The real cancer are psychiatrists.

Wastes of lard the lot of them. they don't communicate. And they're not real medical practitioners. They hear a list of symptoms. they cluster them together and try to categorize, and then they prescribe 10migs of blowuplikeafuckingballoon-titis. And then they don't waste 20 minutes on your case, even though you're shelling out a kidney's worth to be in their presense. And they continuously gaslight you into thinking the diabetes in a pill you're taking to manage the mental midgetry does NOT have any side effects.

Single Mothers have devastated the Proletariat

Here's the killshot, single mothers predict how bad crime is in an area NOT POVERTY!
>The proportion of single-parent households in a community predicts its rate of violent crime and burglary, but the community’s poverty level does not. Source: D.A. Smith and G.R. Jarjoura, “Social Structure and Criminal Victimization,” Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 25. 1988.”
This alone should repudiate feminism in the minds of anyone, left or right. And the high single motherhood rate is the direct result of feminists' sexual revolution that encourages women to be promiscuous which inevitably leads to bastards.
Anyone that's traveled outside of the US can attest to this finding. While no poor area of a city or town is safe. They are not these Falluja style war zones that say Baltimore is.
Eliminating single mothers goes a long long way to eliminating poverty for workers. And it's in the best interest of children, which feminists and women pretend to care about.
These studies were aggregated on https://www.fixfamilycourts.com/single-mother-home-statistics. Here are a few other highlights
>“After controlling for single motherhood, the difference between black and white crime rates disappeared.” Progressive Policy Institute, 1990, quoted by David Blankenhorn, “Fatherless America: Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem,” New York, Harper Perennial, 1996, p.31
>Effects of Fatherlessness – Teenage Statistics
>63% of all youth suicides,
>70% of all teen pregnancies,
>71% of all adolescent chemical/substance abusers,
>80% of all prison inmates, and
>90% of all homeless and runaway children, came from single mother homes.
>Bob Ray Sanders, “Hey Y’all, Let’s Fill The Hall (Of Fame), Ft. Worth Star Telegram, Oct.28,2007
>Mona Charen, “More Good News Than Bad?”, Washington Times, Mar.16, 2001 (citing Bill Bennett, “The Index of Leading Cultural Indicators: American society at the end of the 20th Century., New York, Broadway Books, 1994)
How does the left, which claims to care about workers, answer for this. This complete lack of accountability for women throughout every sect of anti capitalist ideology.
Every single critic of women's sexual liberation is pilloried as a bitter loser or incel.
All while this same behavior has had a devastating effect on children and communities. Something that would have been blatantly obvious to anyone not brainwashed but none the less we've had scientific proof of for centuries. these studies go back to the 1930's
And yet in every supposed left wing circle if the idea that maybe we should pressure women not to have children out of wedlock because of the obvious downsides, you'll have leftist quote Engels and other feminist toadies on how regressive women not being able to sleep with whoever they wanted would be just like a handmaids tale. And how this is really the fault of the patriarchy somehow.
Since when in your cucked anticapitalists' did women's whoring around become more sacrosanct then children's welfare?
And before someone strawman's me as some CHUD that wants women to go back to the kitchen, I'll say that there's a dozen fucking forms of female birth control now. There's NOTHING to keep women from planning every single one of their pregnancies. Using a pill does not require you to give up your career.
If the left wants any sort of legitimacy they'd openly admonish women that willingly become single mothers. It is not some terrible circumstance that befalls them, it's something completely in their control.
And before someone brings up the recent abortion bans, abortion in the country is no where near abolished, you can still get one and the left should be all in on facilitating it.
The problem is there's not even social pressure to stop these tragic outcomes.
The left needs to answer to this now.

/INT/ - Intuition

there are some spiritualities (Indigenous matriarchal ones for example) that believe women possess intuition like a 6th sense that men aren't able to tap into. And that it can be honed with practice.

I have pretty powerful intuition, always have since I was a kid. I started doing tarot readings when I was little for fun, and they ended up really scarily accurate. It's all intuition based, the way I read them. I freaked out several family members- aunts uncles, mom, grandma with my readings to the point where they were made uncomfortable. I've predicted severe illness, infidelity, and minor issues too with my card readings. I get told a lot that my tarot readings aren't any fun because I don't sugarcoat bad things. In fact I think I have more of an ability to predict bad things than good.

I am also really good at reading people, which I usually pass off as being a perk of being a wallflower, but I can even guess people's first names when I've never seen them before sometimes. Sometimes I even get such a powerful feeling that a person or animal's name is 'wrong' somehow to the point where I have a hard time using the name they give me. Like, one time I was riding a trail horse with a name like Red or something, but I could not stop calling her Daisy- in my mind, when I was petting her or riding her. It was really weird. Probably sounds retarded but I wonder if it's some kind of weird intuition or something.

At this point I always listen to my intuition. If I get a bad feeling about something. My husband believes I have very strong intuition as well, and always listens to me if I decide to cancel a plan or leave something early because it's never steered us wrong. I think it's the closest thing to a religious belief I practice- if I get a gut feeling about something I don't do it, or if someone gives me bad vibes I gtfo.

few examples off the top of my head:
- when i was 16 I crashed my car going 80 into a telephone pole and the tree line in a ditch, with my mom in the passenger seat. she only came out with cuts from the glass, I didn’t have a scratch.
- some dumb friend of mine was getting catfished and subsequently extorted, and basically made a deal to “sell me” to them since he knew i was well off in exchange for being left alone. instantly knew something was up with the girl that hmu. few days later he attempts suicide and she’s arrested for something completely unrelated.
- i was in a bad place in high school and used to keep a longer than legal switchblade on me, just waiting for someone to give me a reason. it fell out of my pocket once in the middle of the hallway during class change, and another time in class as i was standing up from my desk. both times it miraculously and quietly fell into someone else’s backpack, a million times better than clattering on the floor.

Is your intuition ever scarily accurate? I’ve intuited running into certain people. I went to the library 3 days ago because I just knew my crush would be there even though he’s a commuter who didn’t attend class that day. I don’t know how I knew that. I just followed wherever my body took me because I knew it would take me to him. Another example, there’s someone that I know I will run into on my campus (who doesn’t live anywhere near it) by the end of the month. I’ve known it for months and I’ve been trying to avoid running into this person but I know it’s the universe’s will we run into each other.

how do you develop better intuition? I can usually tell that something horrible is going to happen on days when horrible things do happen but that's not really useful

According to my mother she tried to spank me when I was 2

and I turned around and started punching her in the face. Never did it again. My father spanked me when I was 5 or 7 or whatever, I remember I just laughed the whole time. Couldn't stop laughing, it was hilarious. Later on he apologized, said "that was weird". Never spoke of it again.

Why is Poland so sexually repressed?

I swear, women having sex are just looked down upon, even though sex is responsible for children and Polish men will create some conspiracy theories that Polish women love screwing with foreigners and whatnot.
During the communist days, women in PRL were more liberated than modern women. Nowadays, when a woman admits to having sex, she is targeted by the amateur vice squads.

The Problems with Space Travel

Our current space technology is extremely limited. Spacecraft don’t "fly"—they’re like throwing a dart at a target. You launch them with force, and if aimed correctly, they hit their destination. There’s no real control after launch.

On Earth, airplanes can change direction easily because the atmosphere provides resistance. But in space, there’s nothing to push against. To truly maneuver, a ship would need thrusters on every side and an impossible amount of fuel. That’s why our Mars probes don’t "fly" there—they’re just flung toward Mars and crash-land.

Fuel and Physics Make Interstellar Travel Impossible
Even going to the nearest star in a reasonable time would require more energy than exists in the entire universe. And that’s just the fuel problem.

The Human Body Can’t Survive Long in Space
Without gravity, muscles and bones waste away. We can only stay in space for short periods before our bodies break down.

If Aliens Can Visit Us, Our Science Is Wrong
If aliens are traveling here, they’ve solved problems we can’t even imagine:

Surviving long space journeys.

Maneuvering ships like airplanes (without needing infinite fuel).

Breaking Einstein’s speed-of-light limit.

Scientists have been wrong about many things before. If aliens are real, everything we think we know about space travel is probably wrong too.

If space travel is impossible and aliens are already here, does that mean humanity is just a failed science experiment abandoned by advanced civilizations? Scientists swear by Einstein’s laws but if aliens cracked light-speed, does that make modern physics just a glorified religion for nerds?

Is the dogma of feminism just a cover for a deeper agenda to enslave men?

Modern women are different than the women you grew up with 50 years ago. Modern society has warped their minds, and their sole reason to exist is to make men miserable and take everything they can for themselves.

The typical white knight response is to blame the man who calls out women's narcissism and abuse. But all the research data shows that women commit the majority of domestic violence, child abuse, and false accusations. It also shows that they initiate the vast majority of divorces, do the most cheating, have way more casual sex hookups, exhibit way higher rates of STDs, and suffer much higher rates of mental illness. So your one anecdote about a middle-aged woman who "isn't like that" means nothing in the face of all the evidence that women are the problem.

I've been in multiple long-term relationships and was horribly mistreated for no reason every time. You can name one woman who's the supposed exception, but every woman I have ever met has been a narcissistic, self-serving whore who relentlessly abuses men for no rational reason. And it's not just in relationships—female coworkers, female acquaintances, random women on the street—they're all the same. Always causing drama and problems, always trying to sabotage you if you're a white male who doesn't capitulate to their insanity.

Why do mainstream media and governments ignore the data proving women are the primary perpetrators of domestic violence and false allegations?Is the mental health epidemic in women actually a result of their own toxic behavior being socially encouraged rather than condemned?

can we speedrun the collapse of neo-feudalism

It took the leadership of the system and the economic engine of the system being destroyed simultaneously by unrelated events to end feudalism.I’m just saying that a poor understanding of the long-term effects of inbreeding mixed with half the population being obliterated by the Bubonic Plague saved Europe from Feudalism, and I don’t think the world will get that lucky again.


I also think that if there were no negative consequences to inbreeding, or that if the plague didn’t happen, we’d be having this conversation in a field somewhere instead of over the internet, which would likely not exist, and we’d probably both effectively be peasants who are the property of someone with the surname Hapsburg.

That tyranny lasted for centuries until it was wiped out by forces beyond human control. I wonder how long this one will last?
Regular feudalism was stopped by a mixture of the plague killing half of Europe, spiking the value of labor, and the ruling class becoming so inbred they could no longer function.

I just want aspiring plebians to do something else with their lives until so many of them make this choice that the system either collapses or reforms.

I don’t know what it will take to stop neo-feudalism. It took forever for the original one to collapse and that one was nowhere near as powerful or resilient as neo-feudalism is."

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

Ecology related 1972 science fiction film.

There will never be another show like The Boondocks

That's it. We as a society have peaked when this show came out. It was all downhill from there.

This show is what comes up in my mind when I think of the dirtbag left. It's not preachy, not "woke," not anti-white, not misandrist. But most importantly, it portrays black Americans as human beings with realistic flaws that you can relate to or at least understand. This show would not have come out the same today because it wasn't above criticizing the African-American community, it wasn't afraid of calling out real sexism and homophobia within it, it wasn't afraid of criticizing the glorification of the thug lifestyle within the black youth and it ruthlessly mocked Black "Entertainment" Television for stupifying black masses. The show, created by a black communist, was constantly censored for offending white liberal sensibilities. But it also made fun of racism too and showed just how ridiculous it was with the character of Uncle Ruckus. Not only that, but it had a brilliant episode that humanizes gay people (must-watch for conservatives) Nothing was safe from MacGruder's critique. There was even an episode about R. Kelly's trial that criticized celebrity worship. The show arguably predicted radlibs even, with other people attacking Huey for merely being apathetic to elections.

While this show can be compared to South Park, the two shows have very different vibes to them. While South Park revelled in its mockery The Boondocks had a sad and depressing feel to its satire. It's like the author wanted to make a real change but felt as if he was powerless to do so. This really shows the difference between a leftist satire and a centrist one. MacGruder is like a combination of Huey and Caesar: he wants to remain Caesar, an optimistic revolutionary, but he inevitably returns to being Huey, a jaded leftcom.

Declining birth rates/ Demographics crisis is a issue

Declining birth rates or the demographics crisis is strictly a capitalist phenomenon. Anthropology will show that never in history has demographics been the cause of a declining society ever. The evidence shows that highly stratified societies are what led to stagnation and societal collapse beyond just invasion or war or natural catastrophe. Over and over again as societies have grown stronger and stronger you saw the rise of a highly stratified society with a small class at the top owning everything and poor toiling for very little.

History has shown that the demographics question is uniquely a capitalist issue with even economists during the industrial revolution coming up with Malthusian economics. It’s particularly unique to industrial capitalism since capitalism requires growth and a growing population is required to continue to absorb the ever increasing number of commodities coming to market.

What had made the initial POSTAL 2 have integrity was how it laughed in the face of moral panic—whether on the conservative side against video games or book-banning, and later on the acts of organizations such as PETA.

The modern day's conservative moral panic is mainly focused toward the LGBTQ+ and immigrants. POSTAL 4 had an amazing opportunity to comment on these things(we already had an entire group dedicated to getting rid of books in the last game), they side with the moral panic narrative by only telling a story about the rabid SJWs.

The terrorists in POSTAL 2 were also done quite well; they could be found everywhere on the map(the grocery store, the mall, behind RWS) to show how ridiculous the narrative of "terrorists could be anywhere" that justified the Patriot Act was. They could have played it this way, too. They could have had random trans people hiding among the populace looking to cut your dick off. They could have had a mad university professor trying to hypnotize a local college campus into having gay sex. They could have had the book burners show up mid-way through that, but then target Postal Dude midway through because "Hey, look at those buttons on his clothes! Those are a secret symbol of the queer agenda! I saw it online!" and then have them target him as well.

Instead, POSTAL 4 just uses the cheap conservative joke that its ancestor would have tore to shreds and loses its shine because of it. It feels like if a modern sitcom writer tried to make a POSTAL game without understanding any of the bite that made those games special. I'm not going to pretend that they were fine art or anything like that, but it was a special component.

Goofy AI shit

I just had a thought that instead of cryptocoins doing expensive ass computations for no reason other than to do them, they should be computing AI tokens. Would it even be that hard? I don't have any good GPUs so I haven't tried it, but in theory something like

https://github.com/exo-explore/exo

can run the latest deepseek (or latest llm de jour), and every peer in the coin network (the dht) would just run an exo node. Then the coin thing would just need proof that you computed the token for the LLM somehow.

It's probably limited a lot by network latency but you get the idea.

Anyways this would incentivise AI to improve itself, because it's computation capacity is tied to money, and growing the economy would be seen as one of the goals, so it would probably get into a contradiction with whatever people are trying to use it for and the fact that it's own brains have become money.

Tattoos Are the Adult Version of a Toddler’s Sticker

I was working in psych in the 90s and that’s when tattoos exploded on the scene, in a huge way, people were getting them on their face even. I was working with women who had Borderline Personality Disorder and they LOVED tattoos because of the pain and self-mutilation aspect.

I started asking average people about why they got their tats, what they meant, and so on. Studies started cropping up, and they proposed what I thought about the topic. There’s a phrase, “wearing you heart on your sleeve” which can have good and bad meanings, but I’ll go with the bad, it means you’re a shallow person who projects shallow emotion. A person with serious feelings and passions can’t wear them on his sleeve, and typically restrains them to maintain dignity, so you cannot tell the passions he has.

The most interesting study I read indicated that people get the EXACT OPPOSITE tattoo from what they are feeling. People who are depressed and negative will get positive tats, like a bird or teddy bear. People who are scared will get “macho” tats like devils, skulls, etc. They are doing some shallow false advertising to project the opposite of who they really are. That’s because tattoos are driven by ANXIETY and that goes with self-mutilation behavior, pain reduces anxiety.

The other type of tat, the tribute tat, like a picture of Jesus, your dead kid, live kid, etc indicates the same thing. You feel little toward the person, god, etc and need to advertise you have great feeling, because you don’t.

I agree with all of that and have asked people about it. Usually their reasons are much like I explained, or an “I dunno” then, “Maybe I shouldn’t have…” because their decisions are shallow and nervous. Certainly not the worse qualities in the world, but as we know, tats have sigma, they mark your body, and are very expensive to remove. Also, if the person is sad, stuck, and confused in life it’s way better to unstick yourself through making meaningful relationships than getting a picture of a Devil Chicken on your chest.

I feel bad for all the “trump stamp” girls I’ve met. Almost universally, they explained they wanted the guys they had sex with to look at the design during doggy style and remember who they were. How helnously sad and pathetic is that! It literally makes my heart, literally, hurt thinking about it.

Some really nice looking girls told me that.

As many of you know, I’m an excellent artist, and I designed the “trump stamp” (not called it at the time) for this one girl I had a thing for. She had red hair and amazingly white skin, she looked like a little fox! She was concerned that no one would remember her. Of course she was tell that to a guy would would have nuked a country to give her a kiss, and that just goes to show you.

Anyway, you posted much the same thing as I just explained. Morita Therapy is from Japan and it focuses on anxiety. A main idea is that anxious people aren’t anxious enough, and so do a lot of halfassad things. They’re stuck in the precontemplative and contemplative state, but never take action. The tats are about that and not really addressing issues.

A company that wants to make a great product will make it. If a tasty beef blend is used in a companies burgers, everyone will know who eats one and costumers will act as word of mouth advertisers. A company that does not follow through and make a good product will advertise: “Tastes Great!” because it does not taste great. If a guy is tough, everyone will know it, he does not need a skull tat and will not think to get one.

>All major cities, except for NYC, are major ghetto shitholes due to black culture. The white people who live in these areas are such pussies that they now talk like blacks, worship their music, yet call them the [tk word] secretly, while acting and living just like ghetto black people.
This is not reversible.

>Women are generally monsters in the US. They do whatever they like and are prone to Narcissistic intense anger and resentment. That means, you say anything, do anything, they don’t like and you’re in for it.

>Everyone is fairly self-centered. You could have god appear and tell people that the best plan for humanity is to have children, stay together, and try to treat your spouse nicely, and people will do the opposite, just because god said so. People basically do the opposite of every good idea.
Exercise, no. Be kind and polite, no. Take other’s feelings into account, no.

>Few people can live up to media standards, and it causes mass depression.
I met a girl I think is beautiful, and she has small [books]. I do not care because I liked her so much it was crazy. But, I must be crazy, according to her, because she doesn’t have perfect skin, has small [books], etc.

>Most people love shitty and retarded culture.So be smart and articulate is bad. People brag about being high, intoxicated, stoned. People talk in ebonics like ‘Hey gui!…you wanna’ “I like dat, I be chillin’ and so on. They are ashamed to say they read books or brag they never have.

>Related to Last point, most people who go to college never actually studied the subject they got their degree in. They might work in a job that’s about the degree, but they aren’t an expert in the subject, they just ‘know stuff’ about it because they fake their way through everything.

The Rich always push till the slaughterhouse doors swing the other way.

The Occupy thing disgusted me because the poor people had a point, about student loans, then they camp out like hippies and beg the oppressors to listen. Why the f@ck would that ever work?

France is an even better example of that where they dragged the rich out into the streets and killed them.

Gandhi was clearly great and nonviolence would be awesome, but he had a huge number of people indoctrinated into a way of thinking behind him. So, he could get like 50k people to show up and they all knew what he meant, and they would insert themselves into situations to frustrate the British. Most societies, especially in the West, have nothing like that and so you can't do it.

those who were born of poor families told their whole life to go to school, become slaves and work till the day they die, but somewhere along the lines, some of those 'slaves' wake up. Most of them too scared to act against this corruption, since they have no means of fighting the top of the pyramid (no money, no outside help, no gun, etc).

every time the rich push people until they get slaughtered. It happens over and over because sociopaths don't know when to quit.

Thoughts on the politicoomer?

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

I just had this totally business and finance-related epiphany after tripping on shrooms and I had to share it with you, frens. What do you think?

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

Why is the prohibition against "objectification" somehow more innocent than "objectification" itself

I'm dealing with a real life situation that's made me re-evaluate how most people think about sex and 'rights' of sex. Basically: my friend of 13 years was seeing this girl (having casual sex with) for about 3 weeks, developed unreciprocated romantic feelings, and was then broken up with. They broke up in mid December. Around April he got the impression he might have a chance of getting back together with her and started bringing me with him to go see her and her friends. I got along with that group of friends far better than he and he decided to stop seeing them as much, said to me he didn't want to try and get back with this girl anymore, but made an offhand comment basically along the lines that he would be mad if anyone had sex with her (I thought this was a joke). A bit over a week ago me and this girl confessed to one another we had romantic inclinations towards one another. The day after we had (very good) sex. The day after that we both left the country and probably won't see one another for 3 months. My friend though found out we had sex and has decided he no longer wants to be friends anymore and is denying my requests to speak with him in person.

This whole situation has me thoroughly puzzled. On the one hand, I can understand someone being upset i.e. sad that someone they thought of romantically has moved on, and that those feelings might be compounded by it being a friend that was moved on to. On the other, I can't imagine being so angry that one would end a 13 year friendship over it. Either way though, it seems to me to imply a weird 'possessive' attitude over another human being such that sex is something someone has rights to and others do not. I find this attitude to be really gross honestly, it's a weird pathological objectification imo. To be fair, I am autistic and often misunderstand these value systems many people seem to hold dear. Can anyone help me understand the dynamics of what's going on here? My other friends seem to universally think I'm an asshole, with only two exceptions.

Why do you want a girlfriend?

They lead to wives, and after an argument with my wife she told me to spend the night on this soykafhole while she enjoys the real 4chan. I'm just miserable. Every day I think about ending it. I really have to spend every day of my life chasing after "soulmate" when she inevitably spends our savings on deliveroo again.
