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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. Some links following this story:

In only the span of a few years, DDoS "protection" services have grown to exert so much control over the web that they can now play kingmakers in browser competition and coerce user choice. We need a solution to the DDoS protection racket more than ever. What can be done about this?

>LibRight: "Corporate tyranny is better"
>AuthLeft: "State tyranny is better"
>LibLeft: "Mob tyranny is better"
>AuthRight: "All of the above are great"
>centrists: "All tyranny should be done in moderation"
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).

Good music in bad games

All right, fine… It's been 18 years, and I'll finally admit it! As much as I loath this insulting trash game for daring to call itself Mario Bros. (and the trend of dumbed down trash games that followed in its wake), Koji Kondo at least managed to belt out another irresistible banger for the main stage theme.

It's a testament to a composer's skill that I find myself getting this theme stuck in my head all the time, imagining that it's some nostalgic theme from a much earlier Mario game. But no, in fact it had the great misfortune to be attached to this turd. Well done, Kondo-san.

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).

In a statement posted on social media, Mr Farooq, chairman of the Kashmiri independence alliance All Parties Hurriyat Conference, said: “While Kashmiris collectively condemn the heinous crime at Pahalgam — and it is imperative to bring its perpetrators to justice — indiscriminate arrests and videos circulating on social media of demolition of houses and neighbourhoods, is disturbing and distressing.

Why just about nobody seems to care about risk of strong solar storm on the scale of the carrington event?

Why there are no procedures made, spare transformers produced, emergency food and supplies stored around major cities, etc?

People care about climate change risks slowly damaging civilization over decades, and here we have risk (also scientifically and historically proven) that can just randomly disable worldwide electricity next year (extremely unlikely) or during the next 200 years (LIKELY) and we are doing nothing?

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.

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.

Imperialist propaganda in anime

We all like to be uber-weebs who accept anime with all its weird quirks that movie critics would scoff at (Eva is a prime example of this) but some trope I will never get over is blatant imperialism in some anime. And I'm not just talking about some metaphorical imperialism like in AoT. I'm talking about the blatant imperialist apologia which the Fire Nation does in Avatar. I remember watching Kingdom and I could not believe my eyes. I have not seen an imperialist propaganda this blatant and shameless. Do you know any other examples? And is it symptomatic of seinen or you can find this bs in other demographics?

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

/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.

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?

On the web-site you can find copies of coins and badges that cost $10 each but people sell them as originals, so you are not safe even when buying cheap items. 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.

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?

haven't come across a single hoe online or offline

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

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.

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.

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.

/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?

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

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

Same show.

1972 film "Silent Running" mp3 soundtrack

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.

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?

Them...

Any way to target them without looking like complete retards?

Advice for dealing with them…
1. Rules 1 and 2, but apply it to us.
2. Re-read 1.
3. Use a VPN/Proxy, Tor, whatnot
4. Be Anonymous at ALL TIMES.

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.

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.

/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

Postal 4

Knew that my criticisms wouldn't be taken seriously on /v/, so I came here.

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.

Where does the power come from?

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

‘Grubby’ treaty principles bill voted down in New Zealand parliament
Over the past year, the bill generated widespread criticism from lawyers, academics, politicians and the public who believed the new principles would weaken Māori rights, remove checks on the Crown and drive anti-Māori rhetoric. A Waitangi Tribunal report said if enacted, the bill would be “the worst, most comprehensive breach of the Treaty … in modern times”.

The March in Friusa Failed and the Neo-Fascist Movement Was Divided

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.

how we accelerate the incoming slaughter?

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.

Luisa González reaches historic agreement with the Indigenous movement for the presidential elections
In the first round of the elections, PK ran Leonidas Iza as its presidential candidate, and reached third place with a little more than 5% of the vote. There are several aspects that differentiate González from Iza. The former has assumed a position closer to a very cautious social democracy in alliance with business sectors. Iza, on the other hand, proposed a popular government closer to the positions of the classical left.

No one will act, and by this I mean do anything besides pointless chanting and marching because they have not reached some undefined, arbitrary (and constantly shifting, in order to provide them with unlimited excuses) threshold of popular support that will, they think, magically flip a switch and allow them to do something. No change in circumstances will spur them to action. Even as their erstwhile comrades and immigrants are openly rounded up and thrown into for-profit concentration camps to be tortured and deported, the American "left", such as it is, sits on its hands and not only does nothing, but tells everyone else to do the same. Even as they watch the general public cheer and applaud the random murder of a CEO, they still believe that doing anything would be the greatest sin possible and doom their already insignificant movement to destruction. The greatest crime anyone can commit in the eyes of the western "left", such as it is, is so-called "adventurism", which is to say doing anything at all. They are so afraid of this "adventurism" that the quickest way to be ostracized from the American "left", such as it is, is to imply that anyone should DO anything.

Why has this sickness emerged? It is because the "left", such as it is, spends all their time reading theory but none of it reading history. Dialectical materialism is a tool which we use to analyze history, not a means to an end. Understanding dialectical materialism but not history is like a mechanic buying all their tools but loudly and boastfully refusing to ever work on a car for fear of getting their hands dirty. It is pointless, a waste of time, resources and energy. If anyone in the western "left" had genuine conviction in their beliefs, even a cursory reading of actual history would dissuade them of this cancerous strategy of "sit and do nothing." It takes only a basic understanding of history, analyzed through the lens of dialectical materialism, to understand why this strategy is doomed to fail.

This mindset of passivity is in error for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it ignores the class composition and material conditions of America. The ancient tomes into which the western "left", such as it is, pours all it's time and attention, were written over 100 years ago in countries with wildly different material conditions to America and the west in general. Russia and China, the origins of most of the theory that the western "left" hyper focuses on, were still struggling to escape from the yoke of feudalism and suffering from deep, existential crises, both internal and external. Even then, the revolutionary movements only gained serious traction when the old order was either seriously diminished or outright destroyed by brutal foreign invaders. In the case of Russia, this was caused by the first world war, and in China, a series of western interventions, culminating in complete anarchy and a genocidal invasion from the Japanese imperialists. This means that the majority of the people were ruthlessly oppressed, both by their own government and by external forces. This gave the people a common cause and a rallying cry, which allowed the Communists (through hard work and lots of bloody struggle) to gain mass popular support.

don't blame blame yourself for not having it all figured out yet the school system didn't prepare you for the real world really and truly you're just getting started if this sounds like you then don't just focus on earning Millions at this stage you need to obsess over sharpening your act so it looks a bit more like this lots of people ski this part of the process and just try to start a business as they've heard it's the way to become rich however they're doing the equivalent of trying to cut down a tree with a blunt axe it's simply just not going to work so how do you sharpen your ax so that when you go for the big money you can easily cut down the tree with a few strong swings well it all comes down to mastering High income skills these are the skills that can make you at least $10,000 per month some great examples nowadays are video editing copyrighting High ticket closing and software development the amount you can make with skills like these will change depending on supply and demand but mastering one or two of these skills can put you in a really great POS position early on in life my son Curtis honed his videography and editing skills while still in school upon graduating he quickly acquired clients and was earning $10,000 a month within a year however the money wasn't as important as the opportunities his skills provided they allowed him to interact with extremely successful people and gain access to valuable information that others paid thousands for this is the true power of a high income skill it opens doors so think about what doors you want to open and pick one or two high income skills that'll help you get there don't rush this step sharpening your ax takes time

Reading General

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

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

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

Why are 95% of women ugly without makeup?

When I was young I liked natural women then growing up I realized it's actually natural made-up looking women that I like. Women who didn't put too much makeup. My question is, why are most women ugly without makeup.

Can someone do some Gimping to the image so that the famous cuban guy looks like the smiling gigachad while matt walsh has the lgbt flag for his jersey please

Facial Recognition Arms Race

https://www.computer.org/csdl/journal/tp/2023/05/09925105/1HBHW3EBlQs
>Due to its convenience and remarkable accuracy, face recognition technology [1] has been applied in a few interactive intelligent applications such as checking-in and mobile payment. However, existing face recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks (PAs) ranging from print, replay, makeup, 3D-mask, etc. Therefore, both academia and industry have paid extensive attention to developing face anti-spoofing (FAS) technology for securing the face recognition system. As illustrated in Fig. 1, FAS (namely ‘face presentation attack detection’ or ‘face liveness detection’) is an active research topic in computer vision and has received an increasing number of publications in recent years.

https://stateline.org/2024/01/10/are-ski-mask-bans-a-crime-fighting-solution-some-cities-say-yes/
>Amid concerns about crime and public safety, at least two major U.S. cities recently considered banning ski masks or balaclavas to prevent criminal behavior, despite a lack of academic research about the effectiveness of such bans.

I don't know if fellow lainons have gone out recently, but I've noticed any time I go to a big box store the entrance and exits are covered with cameras connected to a blaring large screen TV facing the customers with green and yellow boxes following he figure and face of each customers they scurry about their day. Not only this, often times there's hardly any human clerks available to check you out when you want to make a purchase, often times forcing you to use the self check out with the cameras recording your face’s every move from a fish eye lens 2 feet away from your face.
No one cares.
You will often be followed around or outright refused service if you walk in with something that covers all of your face effectively enough to not be data mined.
There’s makeup and clear masks that can obfuscate your face without looking like you’re going to rob the place but both domestic and foreign megacorps and academia are actively working to beat these known methods.
>What will lainon do when the next boogeyman allows the US and larger first world to implement Chinese levels of everyday surveillance?
People are clearly already desensitized to it, judging by how people don’t even notice the cameras anymore. Those few coming up with methods will have to be working constantly to be a step ahead of the corps https://urbanarmor.org/portfolio/miss-my-face/. Boycotting will be increasingly less of a practical solution.

Thoughts? /pol/ is freaking out about getting shut down now. I….can’t see this happening because 4chan is too big, maybe just /pol/ will be deleted?

Incest general

There is no good reason to oppose incest.

Why are they crying out for "Allah" like that's going to stop anything? Why don't they release the hostages? Are they fucking stupid?

SJWs

SJWs who post almost all the time about how racism, transphobia, sexism, homophobia, etc. is so bad tend to secretly be racist, homophobic, or sexist but in different ways than usual. The number of time I've seen black american shit all over other POCs who are at least treated as badly as them, is incredible. That's just one example among many others.

Trans people are either mentally unstable or attention whores, I don't understand why they're associated with the LGB part of LGBT group, aside from historical reasons. They're giving everyone else a shitty reputation.

I have no pity for people with illnesses, disorders or injuries that they brought on themselves. Don't smoke (cigarettes or anything else), drink alcohol with no moderation whatsoever or eat until your obese or get diabetes and complain about it. It's your fault.

There should be more places that are only for adults, no just bars and nightclubs. I know it's the case for some conventions, but I don't think that's the case in my country. Or if it is it's not common. I'm sick of going to cons where there are so many kids who hate it, with parents who either ignore them or hate the con as well, and see that so many of them don't know how to behave, especially when some of the con guests can be hentai artists and the booths are covered in NSFW pictures and merchandises. There's a cat cafe in my city that's only for clients above 15 or 1 I think and so many people are salty over this, but it's a great thing imo, because the only time I went there, it was full of kids mistreating the cats and playing with them like they were toys. I don't even dislike children but I guess I'm tired of them these days.

I don't like fanarts that depict racebending because the ones I see are all about "fixing" the character design and those ones are almost all ugly. Just fanarts that change the character design of literally anything to make it less "problematic" is usually shit and made by mediocre artists at best.

Fanfictions with almost any AUs are bound to be shit, depending on the original story. I'm sick of seeing Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy fanfics being college AUs or coffee shop AUs, they're always OOC and cringey. Or when more realistic stories with a modern setting have steampunk AUs or omegaverse AUs or whatever the fuck.

Chocolate is overrated. Pespi is just as good as Coca Cola, it just tastes different.

Girls who used to insult other girls with thick lips and eyebrows until it became trendy and who use cakey makeup to make it look like they have thick eyebrows and lips need to fuck off.

I'm sure there are other things I can't think of right now.

LeftyPol has gone full 4chan.
I cannot go one day without seeing a thread or post whining about "muh anime" or "pedophilia" or "muh gooners".

They also are indulging in shameless racism and sexism against Indians. Pakistanis and cishet males.

They also whine too much about "missing out" on childhood adventurism (pic related)

Who comes up with this shit??

i hate wikipedia so fucking much

wikipedia banned me for a year for "vandalism" because of a conversation I had on a TALK page. previously I had only created a couple of pages for left wing books about reconstruction. I was trying to point out that certain artificial sweeteners in diet sodas were carcinogenic, but only after they pass through the digestive system and produce formaldehyde. I had talked about the conflict of interest between the corporations that invented them and the FDA. I talked about how the reagan administration brought in donald rumsfeld to accelerate the approval after it had been deadlocked for 16 years. I provided citations at every single step. all of this was on a talk page. I was not being argumentative. I was not editing the page. I merely pointed out that a lot of this information was absent from the article and drafted a proposal for possibly adding it in the future. I followed all the rules. Some fucking artificial sweetener industry shill policing the article got my ass banned. we used to have a glowiepedia thread on here showing power mods and power editors who edit impossible numbers of articles per year. People who are obviously paid by imperial core intelligence agencies to be full time wikipedia police. the bitch of the thing is they even scrubbed the talk page after banning me so I had no evidence. it was fucked. You go to pages like "historicity of jesus" and the corresponding talk pages have shit flinging back and forth between atheists and theists for years because it is of little political consequence for capitalists or imperialists. but you say an artificial sweetener is carcinogenic and suddenly you're a "vandal" and industry shills ban you. the rules are absolutely enforced differently from one article to the next and you see hired freaks lay control of articles relevant to industrial monopoly interests or imperialist interests .

and then you have reactionaries like musk come out and say "actually wikipedia is commiepedia and we need to make it even more right wing"

Would you ever fight on the front lines?

i would feel guilty for the rest of my life for killing someone else.

The "social emancipation" of women

gynocentrist borderline misandrist laws all work in concert to making that number as low as possible. I'm sure some are shocked to see French women stay strong even if their kids come from three or four different men. This is by design.

1MW but at what cost

In this week edition of China lapping everybody else's tech:

BYD's new battery pack can be recharged to half full in 5 minutes, adding 400km or 250miles of range to the car it comes installed in. Which is on paar with refilling a gas tank. Soaking up those electrons at a whopping rate of One Megawatt. To be fair, that's probably not going to be the mode that maxes battery health. And if you want to install a bunch of charging stations you might have to look into small modular nuclear reactors.

I really did not expect big leaps in tech for batteries, batteries are over 200 years old, as such one would expect only incremental improvements. They're approaching hybrid capacitor territory in terms of power density.

I also just realized that this means they have to do 1000 amps at one kV for the charging cable. It's going to be a thick boy, and likely need water cooling. It also likely will vaporize you if you short it out.

This thread is for discussing sabotage, its theory, its history, tactics and stories.

Low-risk activities are great to know because they can be used in a mass movement filled with people who are (understandably) timid and scared. And once there are enough people on board, then there's the safety in numbers that are needed to build confidence for more extreme actions.

Perhaps more self-sabotage than worker sabotage, but I remember in the US post-pandemic strike wave, John Deere hired scabs and one crashed a tractor before the strike even began.

Speaking of scabs and low-risk tactics, Kellogg's also hired scabs that year and the /r/antiwork community raided them with fake job applications. It's a nice example of external sabotage, where sometimes even international comrades can help in their spare time.

Upon scanning the catalog I noticed that, while there is a little bit of discussion of lockpicking and physical security bypasses, there is not much talk in securing your identity as you traverse meatspace, so I have brought to you a slew of questions and propositions relating to exactly that.

The main goals of this thread are:
- Especially, to determine the most cost-effective, stealthy means of exterminating threats to your physical anonymity. This can range anywhere from the humble sling and slingshot, to spraypaint, to paintball and BB and water guns, to plastic bags and tape, to ropes and blunt objects, or even to cheap lasers or computer cracking.
- To determine the most efficient way to move from point A to point B while remaining unseen for a contiguous stretch of at least 20% of the journey. This is focused mainly on distances of less than a kilometer.
- To determine how to best conceal the originating point of your route in highly surveilled locations. This may involve wearing draped clothing like a cloak, dipping in and out of backyards, entering a crowded spot from a surveilled point and exiting at a less surveilled point, or just taking as long and roundabout of a route as possible to make it difficult to follow you back in time- etc.

Let us use the United States as a prime example of the prominence of surveillance cameras.
According to this article from The Verge[0], there is one camera for every 4,6 people in the United States, amounting to 70.000.000 cameras.
There are 330.000.000 people in the USA, of which ~270.000.000 have 15+ years of age. If as many as 1 in every 500 of those people were displeased enough to destroy those cameras, each one would have to destroy 207 cameras in order to eliminate them all. While this does not seem infeasible (a fun weekend project, at most), given that the French managed to rile up enough people to destroy 60% of all speed cameras in their country with ease[1], it is likely that the ratio of annoyed citizens to panopticon devices is much more fortunate than 1/500.

If any movement towards a systematic destruction of the surveillance state is to be accomplished, there is one barrier remaining- widespread knowledge of proper OPSEC and effective stragies.

That is to say, when an individual comes to the conclusion that they ought to do something about this problem, they are forced to individually think through the details of moving about the world without being traced, to anonymously obtain the clothing and basic items necessary to do the deed, to avoid leaking timing information (i.e. you are the only person who purchased spraypaint in this local region during the past week), to understand the ramifications of digital surveillance (don't carry your phone!), to understand secrecy (it's not a secret if you tell somebody), to properly compartmentalize, to start at a random location unrelated to themselves, to have situational awareness, and other extremely basic concepts that they are likely to be completely clueless about.
An idiot-proof guide ought to be constructed that contains strategies for exterminating surveillance cameras and just general OPSEC tips, that is simple enough for the lowest common denominator to comprehend and follow. It should be short and to the point, containing only tips that guarantee an increase in safety when followed.

It would also be useful to gather some intel on surveillance camera companies. Finding what the most common models are and their physical constraints and capabilities, as well as which companies or entities control the infrastructure where their footage is streaming to- in many places, a significant fraction of these cameras upload their footage to company servers, which can be exfiltrated by agencies via legal means very easily.

Some generic advice I can think of off the top of my head:

Wear gloves.

Wipe fingerprints off of any item you carry.

Do not carry any electronic device that has embedded wireless capabilities, like your phone. Not even if it's "off".

Do not tell anybody about anything you're doing, except those who you are doing it with.

Do not collaborate with more than 7 other people at the absolute maximum.

Ensure that no one does anything without everbody else coming to a conensus on precisely who will do it and how.

Do not talk to the police. Talking to the police can only harm you. Ask for a lawyer and zip it. (advice for Americans only)

Never assume that authorities are too lazy to pursue you. Instead assume that all of their focus is on you alone.

Do not keep records. If any papers are produced with incriminating information on them, burn them.

Meet in person with any collaborators, and distribute propaganda in paper leaflets.

To enter a surveilled space anonymously, first enter a sizable stretch of non-surveilled space carrying different clothing (shoes, dark pants, dark hood, dark mask, sunglasses, ideally a cloak), and use them to approach a more surveilled space.

Be mindful of making uncommon purchases with your real identity. If your face or name can be connected to a purchase of some uncommon item, and that item is soon used in a crime, you will be traced.

'Public key cryptography', 'threat modeling', 'defense in depth'. If you do not recognize the concepts behind these words, avoid using the Internet for anything sensitive. When your life or freedom is at stake, attempting to wield a tool that you do not understand will only harm you.

Why are women like this?

Why does Dennis Prager freak out whenever he sees random Protestants from liberal denominations preaching the same generic tolerance message they've been preaching for decades, but when the most famous rabbi in America co-owns a buttplug business with his daughter Dennis says nothing? Dennis Prager's not Christian, why is he obsessed with dictating how a religion he's not a part of and doesn't believe in should be practiced?

Basically everyone uses foodstamp payment and we get robbed every single day whether it's the carts and baskets getting carried off or someone running out the front with food.

Is it anti-Marxist to prevent shoplifting? Should I just ignore people blatantly stealing when I am working the self checkout machines?

Can we be frenemies?

I don't know exactly how I feel about you people; I haven't lurked long enough. I definitely don't like the "woke left". For me that boils down to a collage of the pronoun people, the alphabet people, the cancel pigs, the "blame whitey" crowd, feminists, and a few other types like that cuck Destiny. Regardless, I'd say we both want a world where we don't have to deal with each other.

Why not build an alliance forged in mutual hate? We could work together to separate ourselves from a system we are forced to share, and never have to see each others ugly faces ever again. No more squabbling for power. No more chafing under each others dumb rules. You can have your "communism" over here and we can have our "fascism" over there, and never the twain shall meet.

Can we be frenemies?

pedo infiltration ?

So the EU is apparently pondering to make a mandatory pedo scanner for software.
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2022%2F05%2F11%2Feu-csam-detection-plan%2F

Many people have pointed out that this is just a pretext to attack:
privacy
IT security
and maybe even free open source software.

Many people think it's surveillance organizations them selves that are uploading the CSAM on purpose to push for laws that expand their legal permissions.

And all of the above is undoubtedly true.
Consider that if you invert the assumption of innocence and declare that wanting privacy makes you into a pedo-suspect that means that secret organizations have to be considered pedo-guilty by default, because they can't prove their innocence while keeping their secrets either.

If you argue that effective encryption that can't be broken which is absolutely necessary for the very concept of privacy, has to be undermined for the pedo-scanner. Then that same argument has to be made for proprietary software. Many pieces of proprietary software are in the range of tens or hundreds of gigabytes, and without publicly available source-code it's possible to hide a huge assortment of pedo-content in there. By contrast it's not possible to hide pedo-stuff in open source software.

Effective unbreakable encryption is not only necessary for privacy but also essential for IT security because without cryptographic signatures it's impossible to verify whether or not software hasn't been compromised.

But one glaringly obvious thing that is overlooked in this debate, is how a CSAM scanner works.
Every possible method of scanning for CSAM requires building a giant database filled with pedo-content.
There are relatively simple methods that use the pedo-data-base to create pedo-signatures of files, and there are more sophisticated methods, like using it to train machine learning algorithms to detect the pedo-patterns.

I can't help but think that a bunch of pedophiles got together and said
<"how can we create a pedo-pornhub without the rest of society trying to burn us at the stake for eating their children"
and
<"how do we get new pedo-content for the pedo-pornhub"

Because what they are doing is violating privacy and compromising the IT Security of computers used by children and scan it for potential "content" that has pedo-characteristics, that can than be uploaded to their pedo-data-base.

Basically the pedo-mafia has made an alliance with the surveillance-mafia.
But this isn't just about them creating a pedo-pornhub, they will indubitably find actual pedophiles with this, and then will be able to blackmail them to either go to prison or join the pedo-surveilance mafia. So it's also a recruitment tool for their crime-organization.

The Apple corporation which was the first that has implement the pedo-scanner-collection-tools and pedo-data-base might be the epi-center of this massive pedo-spiracy.


Before you dismiss this as schizo-ramblings, consider the following:
Since the assumption of innocence is being inverted, we have to consider that those people who are lobbying to create a giant data-base filled with pedo-content and legalized mechanisms to basically scan and scrape every computer for new content, that this is in fact a great pedo-conspiracy until they can prove their innocence. And that everybody who doesn't agree with my accusations is a suspected pedo-co-conspirator until proven innocent.

short talking points in case a wall of text won't do:
Attempting to weaken/undermine privacy/encryption = pedo-creepers that want to spy on kids
Attempting to attack free and open source software = furthering the goal of hiding csam in proprietary-pedo-ware
Appearing to combat pedo-philes would be the best predator-disguise for a pedophile.

Anti-Erdogan protests in Turkiye

Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and possible presidential candidate for the Republican People’s Party (CHP), was detained on two separate charges in a police raid on his home early Wednesday morning.

The police-state crackdown sparked mass protests across the country. After hundreds of municipal workers demonstrated in front of the Şişli Municipality, hundreds of students at Istanbul University organized a protest, defying Istanbul Governorship’s four-day ban on all protests.

Police reinforcements were deployed by the police chief to the security directorate in Istanbul where İmamoğlu is being detained, while crowds gathered behind the barricades to protest his detention. Thousands took to the streets in many cities, including Izmir and Ankara.

Police detained İmamoğlu on charges of “leading [a] benefit-oriented criminal organization” along with 106 people, including mayors, municipality officials, journalists and artists. İmamoğlu and seven others, including Şişli and Beylikdüzü mayors and municipal officials, were also detained on charges of “aiding the terrorist organization,” i.e., the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu (SEG), the Turkish section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, issued a statement on X condemning the Erdoğan regime’s police state repression, which abolishes basic democratic rights, including the right to vote and be elected, and calling for the immediate release of those detained.

US, NATO CAUGHT In Romania COUP As Election CANCELLED

Apparently Romania and the US knew, at the time they accused Russia & China of interference, that the social media campaign for Călin Georgescu which preceded his electoral victory was actually funded primarily by one of the major established Romanian parties. Ryan Grim compares it to all the times the DNC has funded far-right Republicans, ostensibly to have an easier candidate to beat, although some would say that if that was, in fact, the DNC's goal then their results have been very questionable. In Romania's case, the gov't just overturned the election entirely and falsely blamed Russia.

Blinken’s Manila visit triggers protest against US presence in Philippines

Manila: Protesters rallied against American presence in the Philippines on Tuesday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Manila to reinforce support against Chinese influence in the region.

The Philippines is Washington’s key security partner in Asia under a decades-long alliance, which allows the US to rotate troops into the Philippines for extended stays and build and operate facilities on Philippine military bases.

In the past two years, the partnership has expanded under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who in February last year permitted American troops to increase their footprint in the country.

China claims the disputed area almost in entirety and its military activity in the territory has been increasing, regularly encroaching on the Philippine part of the waters, the West Philippine Sea.

“These waterways are critical to the Philippines, to its security, to its economy, but they’re also critical to the interests of the region, the United States and the world,” Blinken said at a joint press conference with his Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo.

“That’s why we stand with the Philippines and stand by our ironclad defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty.”

The 1951 agreement obliges the US to defend its ally in the case of external attack.

Philippine vessels have been regularly attacked by Chinese ships in the parts of the South China Sea that are internationally recognized as belonging to the Philippines.

American troops have been patrolling the maritime area with Philippine forces since November, despite protests from Beijing, which says the US is not a party to the maritime dispute.

“Article 4 of that treaty extends to any armed attacks on Filipino armed forces, on public vessels, on aircraft, and that would include its coast guard and that would also be anywhere in the South China Sea,” Blinken said.

As he told reporters that the two countries have seen an “extraordinary expansion” in their partnership, protesters in Manila carried banners reading: “US troops out of the Philippines,” “Blinken war criminal, not welcome,” “No to US intervention in PH and Asia.”

The demonstration was organized by civil society, including BAYAN — the Philippines’ largest alliance of grassroots groups — near the Presidential Palace, ahead of Blinken’s meeting with Marcos.

BAYAN said in a statement that Marcos was “advancing the geopolitical interest of the US in the region” and “offering the Philippines as an extension” of the US military network.

“The country’s assertion of sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea against China’s aggression should not involve the opportunistic meddling of a former colonizer whose real motive is to preserve and expand its imperialist hegemony in the Asia-Pacific,” the group said.

It also drew attention to Gaza, where Washington’s other key ally, Israel, has killed over 30,000 Palestinians in daily airstrikes and land assaults since October.

BAYAN said the US was “the main supporter and enabler of the ongoing genocide in Palestine” and was “actively fanning proxy wars and conflicts in various parts of the world.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bannana Republic of Korea ?

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

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

Greece’s largest ever protest and general strike demand justice for Tempi rail crash victims

From WSWs:

Greece saw a huge show of strength by the working class and youth Friday, with hundreds of thousands taking part in the largest protests in the nation’s history. They were on the streets of the capital Athens and every other major city and town to demand justice for the 57 people who died in the 2023 Tempi train crash and an end to a government cover-up.

The protests were supported by demonstrations at more than 100 Greek embassies and consulates internationally, across all six inhabited continents.

The protests, marking the second anniversary of the February 28, 2023 deaths, were called by the Association of Relatives of Tempi Victims and were even larger than those it called at the end of January. Forced to recognise the mass oppositional mood—and as with the January protests—the ADEDY public sector trade union federation and the private sector General Confederation of Greek Workers called general strikes.

Fully 265 protests were held in Greece and 112 internationally—almost 400 in total. Major international rallies included Berlin, Germany and London, Edinburgh and Manchester in the UK; Rio in Brazil; New York and Boston in the US; and Sydney, Australia.

Participation in the latest Tempi demonstrations is larger than anything that the unions can, or would ever consider mobilising, threatening the downfall of the Conservative New Democracy (ND) government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Every inch of the main Syntagma Square in Athens was filled and its adjoining streets were packed with protesters. The rally was set to assemble at 11am, but the square was already full at not long after 8am. The daily Efimerida ton Syntakton (The Newspaper of the Editors) noted that masses of people were unable to get anywhere near Syntagma with the protest stretching as far as a kilometre away in Omnia Square and in another direction, the Propylaea.

Many brought homemade placards and banners condemning the government as “murderers” for overseeing the preventable deaths. Among the slogans chanted and on other placards were “I have no oxygen” and “Privatizations kill”.

“I have no oxygen” were the last gasping words of a young woman passenger who called the 112 European emergency number to report the crash, after the passenger train she was on collided into a freight train. This caused a massive fireball, with bereaved families convinced this was due to the freight train carrying an illegal cargo of flammable material—a fact covered up by the government.

Even the police, notorious for underplaying the size of demonstrations in Greece, said there were over 170,000 people just in Athens, and 325,000 people on the streets nationwide.

Greece has seen many widely supported general strikes since the imposition of mass austerity by successive government beginning in 2008. But the scale of the protests over Tempi, and the latest general strike are magnitudes larger as the entire country was brought to a standstill.

The strikes began the evening before, as Coca Cola workers walked out at a factory near Athens. Transport came to a halt as international and domestic flights were grounded by air traffic controllers, with trains, trams and bus services stopping. Seafarers, train drivers, doctors, nurses, teachers and lawyers all struck. Government offices closed, along with many shops and businesses, and hospitals only opened for emergencies. Even some of the most upmarket cafes, restaurants and bars closed due to the mass mobilisation.

The only transport running in Athens were trains to get protesters to the central squares. Even this was barely possible with Ef Syn reporting, under a headline “This has never happened before!”, that “metro stations have been flooded with thousands of people. The National is suffocatingly full, the trains have increased their schedules in order to serve the people who want to get off in the center, but people cannot fit into the carriages.”

The newspaper editorialised that “A huge social ‘tsunami’ has formed that is not limited to mourning, it is not satisfied with honoring the memory of the 57 victims of the crime in Tempi, passengers and workers on the fatal trains. But it wants truth, vindication, punishment of the real culprits.”

The authorities did everything possible to disrupt the protests and prevent people reaching the squares, even closing the Metro stations at Syntagma and Panepistimiou. A massive contingent of over 5,000 police officers, including riot police, was mobilised to confront the protesters—a substantial proportion of the 65,000 who make up the Hellenic Police nationwide. After several hours, and with the crowds growing, riot police used tear gas and stun grenades in Syntagma square forcing demonstrators to disperse. APE-MPE photojournalist Orestis Panayiotou was injured in the head by a police stun grenade.

Among dozens of arrests made by police were 25 protesters who climbed onto the roof of the Hellenic Trains headquarters and unfurled banners reading “Murderers”.

Many thousands refused to be cowed and returned to Syntagma to continue protesting. Thousands more came back into the square later Friday evening to protest. Speaking to the Reuters news agency, protester Evi said she was there to mourn the dead, “but also because the government has tried to cover things up.” Christos, a musician said, “The government hasn’t done anything to get justice… This wasn’t an accident, it was murder”.

In her speech to the crowd in Syntagma, Maria Karystianou—who lost her 21-year-old daughter Marthi in the crash and who is the president of the Tempi Victims’ Association—faced the parliament building and said, “I am addressing the murderers of our children. You treated our dead with disrespect and contempt. Human parts and bones of our children remain unburied in hidden locations. You have committed the ultimate sacrilege, and you will receive what is due through the vengeance of the dead.”

The anger of millions was spurred by the release on Thursday of a long-awaited report into the disaster by the Hellenic Air and Rail Accident Investigation Authority (HARSIA). Many details in the report shatter the government narrative and its cover-up.

The report states, “It is impossible to determine what exactly caused [the fireball], but simulations and expert reports indicate the possible presence of a hitherto unknown fuel”. The government has long denied that any fuel was onboard the freight train, maintaining the fiction that a gigantic fireball 80 to 100 metres in length that engulfed the passenger train carriages after the collision was produced by silicone oil on the train transformers.

“Serious information went missing because the site of the accident was not sealed,” the report noted.

In the face of Friday’s massive protest Prime Minister Mitsotakis issued a provocative and self-serving statement declaring the crash was down to “human errors” and “chronic failings of the state”, while refusing to take any responsibility for the mass deaths on his watch.

The mass eruption of anger over Tempi—which has brought to the surface opposition to the attacks that have been implemented against the working class over decades by capitalist parties of all political stripes—may now see not just Mitsotakis’ own downfall, but that of his government. The entire rotten political set-up in Greece is implicated. The pseudo-left Syriza (Coalition of the Radical Left) in power from 2015-19, deepened an austerity offensive against the working class without precedent on the European continent. As part of a privatisation spree, Syriza sold off in 2017 Greece’s state railway network, TrainOSE, for just €45 million euros, leaving an already under resourced railway service to the profiteers, with rail workers forced to rely on antiquated technology, including manual signalling systems.

As the WSWS noted, “Post-privatization, Greece’s rail network is one of the most dangerous in Europe. From 2018 to 2020, according to the European Union Agency for Railways, Greece recorded the highest railway fatality rate per million train kilometres among 28 European nations.”

Next week, after months of prevarication, Syriza, will join the social democratic PASOK in presenting a joint no-confidence motion against the government.
