Why do leftists pretend to care about the oppressed but they don't care about the most oppressed people of all: the unfuckable incel?
All I get here is scorn and ridicule. The hatred against me and my marginalised community is truly disappointing. It seem like no one cares about us at all. I expected the left to provide some sort of safe harbour, but instead the hatred is even more intense? What are people like me supposed to do? Who can we turn to?
Elliot being somewhat rich and somewhat attractive and still not getting any is just more proof that woman’s standards are through the roof
Iran War Thread
It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.
This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.
What evidence-based interventions most effectively extend the human lifespan?
What does the science actually say about living longer? Do studies exist that demonstrate viable ways for radical life extension?My ambition is a lifespan exceeding 250 years to outlast capitalism.

Anons, how do you convince yourselves to keep going?
I have been having suicidal thoughts for a while now, with it being intense during the summer where I basically isolated myself from others. For a while I thought that I no longer had such thoughts but sadly they have been reappering.I feel like I don't read as much as I should, I want to be with others, to connect with other people but I'm simultaneously disgusted by them either for being ignorant or for being unreasonably angry, and despite having many plans and stuff I want to do in the future, I have been demotivated from doing anything.
I don't want to give more detail but all of this and more has made me want to die and end it all. I feel sad and angry, and I don't know how to deal with these feelings. Any advice?
Top Israeli Cyber Official Arrested in US Child Predator Sting Then Freed Without Explanation
Las Vegas (Quds News Network)- Las Vegas police, working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, announced the arrest of eight men on Wednesday. One of them was Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, a top Israeli cyberwarfare official.Alexandrovich works directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He serves as Acting Head of Data & AI at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate. His job safeguards Israel’s critical infrastructure, including power grids, airports, and sensitive intelligence networks.
According to Las Vegas authorities, Alexandrovich and others were charged with luring a child with a computer for a sexual act. In Nevada, this felony carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
Alexandrovich is the founder of Israel’s multi-million-dollar “Cyber Dome” initiative. The program uses AI to detect, neutralize, and repel cyber threats before they reach critical systems. He has deep access to Israel’s cyber secrets and classified partnerships with foreign powers.
His position makes him one of Israel’s most powerful cyber officials. Experts say any ally, including the United States, would normally monitor such a figure closely. He was in Las Vegas for a professional conference, not as a registered diplomat. He has no diplomatic immunity. Yet U.S. authorities allowed him to board a plane and return to Israel within days, without trial, bail conditions, or public explanation
Israeli outlet Ynet (https://archive.is/dtnCn) reported only that Alexandrovich was “briefly detained for questioning… before his release and return to Israel.” The report did not mention the felony charges or the multi-agency child predator sting led by US authorities.
https://qudsnen.co/top-israeli-cyber-official-arrested-in-us-child-predator-sting-then-freed-without-explanation/
Alongside this high-ranking Israeli official, these others were arrested in this sting:
David Wonnacott-Yahnke, 40, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, 35, Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, 23, James Ramon Reddick, 23, Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, 29, Neal Harrison Creecy, 46, John Charles Duncan, 49.
Of these, Neal Creecy is a pastor (https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/las-vegas-pastor-arrested-in-child-predator-sting-operation/), David Wonnacot-Yahnke (AKA DJ Wonnacott) has been an exec in a couple regional LGBT non-profits, and John Charles Duncan may or may not be a cop. I posted a version of this thread before where I made a "walk into a bar" joke, but I'm not sure if this sting was directed at a single group of associates or was a broader sting against multiple targets, so I rewrote part of it.
Palestine Thread Pt. IX
Continued from >>489198Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.
In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers. Israel proceeded to violate the ceasefire with airstrikes and a resumption of their illegal blockade of Gaza before resuming full-scale attacks in March and destroying the ceasefire entirely. At least 7,450 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza alone since Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire.
Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.
The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US involvement.
Following more than a year of Israeli bombings of UN and NGO aid organizations, the US launched a mercenary front called the GHF under the pretext of providing aid to three sites in Gaza. Since its initiation, the IDF has been shooting Palestinians waiting for aid en masse at GHF sites, with the number of aid seekers killed at these death traps alone now already topping 1,000.
Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. After months of the IDF violating the ceasefire in the south of Lebanon, Israel returned to bombing Beirut in March.
Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance. In July, fighting broke out between Jolani's factions and the Syrian Druze religious minority, who Israel has been trying to groom as proxies in Israeli-occupied Syria for months. Israel proceeded to bomb government buildings in Damascus wthout any direct retaliation from Jolani.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.
Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.
Benjamin Netanyahu was invited back to the White House for February 4th, 2025, and again on July 7th.
Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and unilaterally broke the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, refusing to move on to phase two of the deal. More sham ceasefire negotiations have occurred since, resulting in Israeli rejections.
More countries have joined South Africa's legal case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for the crime of genocide. Cuba, Ireland, Belize, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, Chile, and Colombia have joined the South African case against Israel. Egypt, Belgium, and Maldives have also declared their intention to join. Nicaragua has withdrawn from the case.
The US entered into a ceasefire agreement with Ansar Allah in May of 2025 after the US navy's strikes on Yemen failed to achieve any goal beyond large amounts of killing. The US lost three planes in the process, and wasted over a billion dollars. The exchange of fire between the US and Yemen began when the US attacked Yemen on Israel's behalf, and the ceasefire only applies to the US and Yemen directly.
Yemeni Ansar Allah attacks in solidarity with Gaza have hit Ben-Gurion airport, as well as sinking two ships headed for Israel in July of 2025, since the resumption of Israel's blockade against Gaza. Yemen's blockade of Israeli shipping continues.
Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK. Palestine Action broke into a UK military base, damaging two planes of a type which the UK government has used to aid in Israel's genocide of Palestine. Following this, the UK government under Starmer proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group, despite direct action being a legal form of protest in the UK. Hundreds of arrests have followed.
The US gov't continued shipping weapons to Israel, in violation of US law.
The new US administration has started unlawfully abducting students for protest and opposition to genocide. The administration has threatened to deport these students, and has gone after university funding in an effort to suppress anti-genocide speech on campuses and control the narrative. Mahmoud Khalil was later released.
Israel attacked a Freedom Flotilla boat near Malta for trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza, and attacked a second Freedom Flotilla boat and abducted its crew.
In June, the Global March to Gaza, a peaceful humanitarian mission to get aid into Gaza through the Egyptian Rafah crossing, was blocked by the US-backed El-Sisi government. Hundreds of marchers were arrested and harrassed at the crossing by the Egyptian military.
And much, much more!

Nations and environmental groups slam proposals at UN climate talks, calling them too weakSeveral nations and environmental groups on Friday slammed proposals in the final stages of this year’s U.N. climate talks for failing to explicitly mention the cause of global warming — the burning of fuels such as oil, gas and coal — with one negotiator warning the talks are on “the verge of collapse.” Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, a top negotiator for Panama, said the decades-long United Nations process risks “becoming a clown show” for the omission.

Nationwide strikes called in Italy, Belgium and Portugal as social anger erupts across Europe
In Belgium, a nationwide rail and mass transit strike is called for November 24, a nationwide strike of the public sector the day after, and finally a general strike on the 26th. They are called against moves by the right-wing government led by Bart De Wever’s New Flemish Alliance (NVA) to slash pensions, end indexing of wages on inflation and slash benefits including unemployment insurance.

The Co-Founder of Palestine Action Is Taking the Government to Court

This means that thousands of arrests and hundreds of charges made under the Terrorism Act since the ban came into force will be quashed.

Adventurism is based.
One hit wonder assassinations are better than nothing. No, we don't need more theory. Since 2020, most new "theory" has been AI assisted slop anyway. AI can write theory, but it cannot shoot porky. What you call adventurism is actually just a manifestation of your body count chauvinism. Until the kill count gets high enough to be a second 9/11, you will dismiss it as "counter productive adventurism" even if it results in the destruction of our enemies and the intimidation of reactionaries.
Why is Israel looked down upon and condemned, while US landback is praised and championed?
Why is electoralism looked down upon, while doing nothing is praised and championed?
Why is UBI looked down upon and not seen favorably, while romantic and sexual AI is praised and revered?

Venezuela mobilizes 4.5 million militia members as US deploys troops to the Caribbean
Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.
The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.
The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.
No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.
UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.
Venezuela mobilizes as the US bares its teeth
Last week, mass protests across Venezuela denounced the “interventionist policies of the US government” following the bounty increase on Maduro and the accusation of cartel ties. However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the deployment of US troops to the region on August 14. On Tuesday, August 19, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the administration was open to “boots on the ground” in Venezuela, to which she responded, “[Trump] is prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country.”
This week, Venezuela’s “prepared, activated, and armed” militia members are being deployed “throughout the entire territory, and meticulously, sector by sector”, as part of what the government is calling a peace plan to defend the principles of sovereignty and shared economic development.
“The Bolivarian National Militia is the people in arms, it is the genuine expression of civic-military union,” said Maduro in 2019, as he announced the incorporation of the militia that Hugo Chávez created – which has surged to nearly 5 million members, according to the government – into the Armed Forces as an official “combat unit”.
“We are also deployed throughout the Caribbean,” Venezuela’s Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello reminded the public. “Our sea, which is Venezuelan territory.”
The Venezuelan government is not alone in speaking out against the escalation of tensions in the Caribbean. When asked about the US military deployment during a regular press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico’s message to the region is, “No to interventionism. This is not just a conviction, it’s in the Constitution.”
To this day, the US does not recognize President Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the July 28 elections in Venezuela, claiming that opposition figure Edmundo González is the true president. In the months following the election, Washington targeted dozens of officials in the Venezuelan National Electoral Council (CNE) and other government departments with sanctions and visa bans, on top of the long-standing US economic blockade of the Bolivarian nation.
Despite the mounting pressure, Venezuelan officials are confident that the nation can defend its sovereignty. “It’s not about Maduro, it’s about the ordinary people, the people in the neighborhoods, the communities,” says Nahum Fernández, head of government in Caracas.
“This country belongs to Venezuelans; in the face of any threat, the Venezuelan people will not remain silent.”

Romantic And Sexual Taboos
Where do the vast majority of people learn about society's romantic and sexual taboos? I have no idea.For example, people know that incest is considered taboo because the babies are (apparently; I haven't looked into it) more likely to have disabilities and the gap in the power dynamic (which is apparently guaranteed/likely to exist) could (which I presume means 'is significantly likelier') lead to abuse. Where does anyone hear of this? Where does anyone hear that teacher-student relationships are unethical? As for pedophilia, I can understand having doubts that there is a way to obtain legitimate consent from a child, but where would anyone hear the full reasoning that there is certainly no way to do so? Do they spend their free time researching ways to get a child to consent to sex and then conclude all of them illegitimate? Do they research child brain development just to be sure that they cannot understand sex? Do they research the ways physical sex works and then conclude it will result in physical damage (this does not address sexual interactions which are not sex, like feeling up each other's bottoms)? As for me, I just thought it seems difficult to do so and didn't research it further because I don't want to have sex with children so there is no need for me to know. I find it ridiculous just how much sexual knowledge most people seem to have.
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,

>80% of all prison inmates, and

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.

In Fall 2023, the main board picked up a bit, and there was a lot of activity there, particularly regarding Palestine. I started posting over there more, and somehow, mysteriously, the activity on /b/ gradually dissipated… which is weird, because /b/ already had activity even before I got here. /leftypol/'s activity seems to have dissipated even more.Now /b/ is slow as fuck. The main board is slow as fuck. The chat, which used to have a good bit of activity, rarely has more than one message per day. The overboard moves at a slower speed than /b/ by itself used to.

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.

YOU KNOW WHAT FUCKING TIME IT IS
What makes a person intelligent?
The more I live, the more I realize that what people often consider intelligence is just pretentiousness. Posh language, "refined" taste, all this superficial bullshit that makes porkies feel good about themselves instead of feeling like good-for-nothing dumbasses that they are. And even STEMcels aren't immune from this since they can also be bigoted, reactionary or even woke and have the most braindead takes when it comes to philosophy and social sciences. So what is an intelligent person?I think an intelligent person isn't afraid to speak Cockney or appear less intelligent. Or enjoy "low" art or whatever it's called. And they don't pretend they know it all, they just try to enjoy life to the best of their ability and be as open-minded as they can be without just blindly agreeing with what others say.

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.

Polish president seeks to have Communist Party of Poland outlawedHis move follows the recent collapse of a long-running attempt initiated by the former national-conservative (PiS) government to have the KPP outlawed. The president’s office announced this week that, on 6 November, Nawrocki had submitted an application to the Constitutional Tribunal (TK), asking the court to determine that the KPP does not conform to the Polish constitution. In his justification for the request, Nawroocki argued that “communist ideology is directed against fundamental human values and the traditions of European and Christian civilisation”. He noted that Poland itself “was and remains one of the greatest victims of communism”.

Twenty-five states funnelled oil to Israel during genocide: Report
The sharp drop in Brazil's exports to Israel has coincided with a surge in deliveries to the Sarroch refinery in Sardinia, along with a rise in refined products exported from the refinery to Israel. The report also found that 17 countries sent 152 shipments of nearly 3.3 million tonnes of refined petroleum products to Israel in the same period, with 45 percent of shipments coming from Russia. It also noted that the US sent nine shipments carrying 360,000 tonnes of JP-8 - a jet fuel blend used for military aircraft - as well as two shipments of diesel from Valero’s Bill Greehey Refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas.

South Africa to investigate ‘mysterious’ arrival of 153 Palestinians on plane
Details about how the group left Gaza remain elusive but the Gift of the Givers Foundation, a local nonprofit working in disaster response, said it was the second plane carrying Palestinians to land in South Africa in the last two weeks. “The Palestinians had no idea where they were bundled off to, only when in Kenya did they realise they were coming to South Africa. Some had visas for Canada, Australia and Malaysia, they were eventually permitted to leave for those countries,” said Imtiaz Sooliman, the chair and founder of Gift of the Givers.

China is developing the world’s most ambitious network to transport its clean energy
Over the past five years, the total length of China’s UHV transmission lines has increased from 17,400 miles to more than 24,854, according to the latest figures from the National Energy Administration. The country currently has 45 UHV lines (one AC line at ±1,100 kilovolts, 21 AC lines at 1,000 kilovolts, and 23 DC lines at ±800 kilovolts). Beijing anticipates that by the end of 2025, the west-east transmission capacity will exceed 340 GW, a 25% increase over 2020, enough to power approximately 230 million Chinese households.

‘Restricted’: Did US troops try to cordon off a Mexican beach?
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum seeks the International Boundary and Water Commission intervention.US troops appeared to arrive this week on a beach in northeast Mexico where they installed signs declaring the area “restricted” by the US Department of Defense.
Trump and his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum, have been engaged in a back-and-forth war of words over the threat of US strikes on what it says are drug cartels in Mexico.
On Monday, unidentified men arrived via boat at a beach in northeast Mexico, where they planted signs in the sand reading: “Warning: Restricted Area” in English and Spanish.
The precise location of the beach has not been confirmed by either side, but a video circulating on social media and local news purports to show Mexican marines removing the signs. The video is described as footage from a beach frequented by locals and fishermen, known as Playa Bagdad, in an area where the Rio Grande, a river which originates in south-central Colorado in the US, flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Al Jazeera has not been able to verify this video.
The signs stated that the area was Department of Defense property and had been declared restricted by “the commander”. They also stated that “unauthorized entry is prohibited” and “if you are found here, you may be detained and searched”. They additionally prohibited photography or drawings.
The Gulf of Mexico is bound by Cuba; eastern states of Mexico, including Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo; and states on the Gulf Coast of the US: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
In January, Trump signed an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which was rejected by Mexico. The change has been reflected on Google Maps for users in the US.
Late on Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the navy had removed the signs because they were on Mexican territory.
On Tuesday, Sheinbaum said the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) would get involved to resolve the dispute. “The river changes its course, it breaks loose, and according to the treaty, you have to clearly demarcate the national border,” she said during her daily news briefing.
…
The most recent treaty the IBWC oversaw was signed in Mexico in 1970 to resolve boundary disputes and maintain the Rio Grande and the Colorado as the international boundary.
The IBWC’s role is to enforce these treaties.
So, has the US violated any of these treaties?
It appears so. “The agency or contractor who placed the signs is in clear violation of the 1970 Boundary Treaty,” Stephen Mumme, a professor at Colorado State University, told Al Jazeera. “The boundary is set at middle of the most substantial and deepest channel of the river as it enters the Gulf of Mexico.”
“The mouth of the river does fluctuate according to river flows, erosion, and siltation,” said Mumme, who specialises in US-Mexican water and environmental relations.
Both the US and Mexican governments and agencies are obliged to consult the IBWC prior to undertaking any project or construction that might plausibly involve or affect the international boundary.
“Mexico was completely within its rights to remove the signs and lodge complaints with the US State Department,” Mumme said.
On Tuesday, the US Embassy in Mexico shared a comment from the Pentagon, stating that US “contractors” had placed signs beside the Rio Grande, marking “National Defense Area III”.
“Changes in water depth and topography altered the perception of the international boundary’s location,” the statement said. “Government of Mexico personnel removed 6 signs based on their perception of the international boundary’s location.”
The Pentagon added that the contractors would work with “appropriate agencies to avoid confusion in the future”.
National Defense Areas (NDAs) are US military zones along the US-Mexico border, managed by the Defense Department.
On May 1 this year, the US Northern Command announced that a new 260-mile (418km) NDA had been established along the southern border of Texas with Mexico.
“The establishment of a National Defense Area increases our operational reach and effectiveness in denying illegal activity along the southern border,” the release quoted General Gregory Guillot, the commander of the Northern Command.
…
The US has deployed a large military force, including B‑52 bombers and elite special operations troops, to the Caribbean in recent months, citing security concerns and the threat of an “invasion” by Venezuelan drug gangs. Trump is also considering land attacks in Venezuela to curb the flow of illegal drugs and has authorised CIA covert operations in Venezuela for the same purpose.
Since September 2, the US has conducted at least 21 military strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, killing about 80 people. Now, Trump seems to have turned his attention to Mexico.
On Monday, Trump threatened to launch strikes on drug cartels in Mexico.
“Would I want strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs,” Trump told a reporter during an Oval Office meeting between Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
“I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there.”
During her daily press briefing on Tuesday morning, Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s comments on Sunday about possible US intervention in Mexico. “It’s not going to happen,” she said.
Sheinbaum said she had told Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio multiple times during telephone conversations that Mexico does not want US intervention on Mexican soil.
“He has suggested on several occasions or has said, ‘We offer you a United States military intervention in Mexico or whatever you need to combat criminal groups’,” she explained.
Sheinbaum said she would accept collaboration and intelligence sharing with the US military, but she reiterated that no outside intervention would be permitted in the country.
“We do not accept an intervention by any foreign government,” Sheinbaum continued. “I’ve told him on the phone. I’ve said it with the State Department, with Marco Rubio.”

Genocide
The Netanyahu Israeli government rained down U.S.-made bombs provided by Biden on Gaza killing over 40 thousand Palestinians 80 percent of whom are women and children, destroying most housing, hospitals, schools, universities, mosques, churches, industry, farms. Wantonly killing health care and aid workers, Israel’s siege starves Palestinians of food, water, medicines, sanitation and electricity. Now Trump wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza and turn it into a resort.
Assassinations
On the African continent Burkina Faso’s Thomas Sankara, Congo’s Patrice Lumumba, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi and Guinea-Bissau’s Amilcar Cabral were all overthrown and assassinated to assist the continued transnational theft of each country’s resources.
Blockades
The Cuban people are now suffering from severe poverty because U.S. sanctions on their country make it extremely difficult for Cuba to import sorely needed fuel, food and medical equipment.
Immigration
Poverty and instability lead millions to uproot their families and migrate out of Africa, Asia and the Americas for the sake of their own survival.
Back home
Poverty has become the 4th leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for 295,000 deaths a year – or over 800 deaths a day.
What is the root cause of these wide-ranging atrocities and many other examples of suffering and injustice?
It’s called U.S. imperialism.
Imperialism is the inevitable outgrowth of putting profits before people and nature. It is advanced monopoly capitalism’s economic, political, diplomatic, social and cultural control of society by the richest corporations to control governments, markets, resources and labor, defiling the earth with pollution to extract maximum profits. Those profits benefit the billionaire class while destroying the planet at the expense of the vast majority.
Imperialism foments direct and proxy wars by pitting countries against each other, e.g. Ukraine and Russia. The goal? To gain markets, appropriate Ukraine’s farmland and minerals along with stealing Russia’s natural resources and ensuring low labor costs.
Imperialism also includes financial, trade and industrial policies often implemented through US control of global institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund that disadvantage the poorer, less powerful countries and benefit only the wealthiest monopoly corporations and individuals, who attempt exclusive control over markets. Importantly, these policies also immiserate the U.S. working class.
Examples of these monopoly corporations are the weapons contractors – Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, Boeing and General Dynamics; fossil fuel giants – Chevron, Exxon, BP, and Shell; financial institutions – JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo; and hedge funds like Bridgewater and BlackRock. Monopolization also includes pharmaceuticals and high tech.
The billionaires and their companies have bought lock, stock and barrel many of the political candidates on our ballots.
The names of the richest billionaires are well known: Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Larry Ellison. These capitalists and others make decisions that affect the lives of billions of people, although we have no vote in the matter. The billionaires and their companies have bought lock, stock and barrel many of the political candidates on our ballots.
These trillion-dollar corporations control much of the world. In 1917, V.I. Lenin called imperialism “The highest stage of capitalism.” Since Lenin’s time imperialism has become more global. Capital is still exported and internationally sourced supply chains are prevalent. Banks and high-tech companies dominate much of the world economy. While the U.S. is the premier imperial power, the E.U. and Japan are next, kept secondary by the U.S. Current imperialism is being challenged by emerging powers, socialist and capitalist, in an increasingly multipolar planet.
In today’s world, state-supported monopoly capitalism and imperialism are essentially the same thing. For us in the United States, fighting imperialism means fighting the capitalists here at home who keep a tight rein on politics, the economy, and maximum profits.
Do working people in the United States benefit from imperialism?
No! Taxpayer money spent on imperialist wars abroad in Ukraine, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and other regions, and on maintaining more than 800 military bases worldwide, almost entirely benefits the armaments industry and other wealthy corporate sectors. The $1.2 trillion military budget, which is 60 percent or more of the Congressional budget, wastes critical resources that could be spent to end poverty, provide housing, health care, infrastructure and all our other essential needs. To survive, workers in our country have to join workers abroad to fight to transition to an alternative, green, peaceful economy, ensuring workers in all industries affected have jobs, appropriate training, or income.
The violence of mass shootings on our streets and by our institutions echoes the mass killings of war that our government wages in other countries. It reflects the “might makes right” mentality, misogyny, and racism imposed by U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. has become the prisonhouse of nations, incarcerating more individuals – disproportionately people of color – than any other nation. Special oppression based on skin color, national origin, sex, and gender divides workers, sapping opportunities and income from the whole working class. Violence meted out to the environment results from the imperative of fossil fuel and other corporations to gain maximum profits and hurts all of us. It generates rapid climate change. It exacerbates environmental injustice to our working class and in particular, people of color.
The U.S. is the richest and most powerful country in history, but living standards are declining with stagnant incomes, unaffordable and substandard housing, education and health care, crumbling infrastructure and increasing insecurity. The extreme right blames the decline in living standards on immigrants entering the southern border and on countries like China, which has gained strength as an economic powerhouse. But these are racist and anti-communist lies. Living standards and the economy for the majority began stagnating in the early 1970s, long before China industrialized. The big capitalists in the U.S. found great profits in moving industries abroad – to China, Mexico, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc. – to take advantage of their low wages, while destroying domestic manufacturing. These oligarchs are the culprits responsible for the loss of good jobs in the U.S.
Yet rather than cooperating or even accepting a challenge to compete economically our ruling class has chosen to demonize China to prevent its further development and to counter its projects that economically develop the poorer nations with sanctions, trade embargoes and military threats.
Wealthy corporations and individuals almost exclusively benefit from imperialism. As many of us worry whether we’ll have a job to pay the rent, be able to send our kids to college or trade school, be able to cover medical costs, or pay the inflated price of food, the super rich have increased their wealth by leaps and bounds since the Great Recession of 2008. In 2019 the top 10 percent of families owned 76 percent of the country’s wealth. Between 2020-2022 during the height of the Covid pandemic, billionaire wealth grew by $1.5 trillion – more than $2 billion a day For working families, it’s getting worse.
Keeping people in other countries in poverty undercuts the position of the U.S. working class because it motivates corporate outsourcing. We should demonstrate solidarity with all workers everywhere to abolish poverty for good everywhere. We must actively support people in poorer countries who rise up to demand better economic conditions and civil and political rights because their enemy is our enemy and their struggle is our struggle! Communist say: “Workers and oppressed peoples of all countries, unite!”
Demands:
In the Israel–Gaza conflict, we demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire and a massive influx of humanitarian aid leading to a just solution for Palestinians and Israelis. We demand that Israel and its supporters abide by International Law as reiterated by the World Court: End Apartheid, end the wars and occupation, remove the settlements and settlers from stolen territory, and allow all refugees to return to historic Palestine.
We demand an end to all U.S. sanctions against Cuba. Immediately remove Cuba from the bogus “State Sponsor of Terrorism” list. Normalize relations with Cuba, which terrorizes no one but is the victim of U.S. terrorism for over 60 years.
We demand that the U.S. stop interfering in Venezuela’s internal affairs, remove sanctions and return stolen Venezuelan property to the Venezuelan people. End all illegal U.S. sanctions on the dozens of other countries targeted by the U.S. capitalist class.
We demand a peaceful, diplomatic resolution of the war in Ukraine. Stop NATO’s expansion and move to abolish it.
We demand the U.S. military stop threats against China and stop rebuilding bases in the Philippines. Close the anti-China THAAD missile system in South Korea, the military bases in Okinawa, and throughout the Indo-Pacific. Dismantle the several aggressive Indo-Asia-Pacific military pacts like AUKUS and the Quad. Reverse the economic wars against China; instead prioritize cooperation on climate, economic, health, and infrastructure.
We demand an end to first-strike nuclear war policies. Sign and abide by treaties to abolish and dismantle all nuclear weapons everywhere.
We demand the prompt and radical cuts to the bloated military budget. Use the money saved to meet people’s needs and transition workers to green jobs.

Some Questions About Anarchy/Anarchism
I don't know how many anarchists are here, but I've been looking into anarchism, and though I'm pretty sceptical I find some of their points valid. It is easy for me to understand why someone would want to be an anarchist and I am not swayed by the basic, superficial, "On Authority" style "arguments" against it. I both understand and sympathise with their libertarian tendencies and scepticism toward the state.However, I have some concerns nonetheless.
>1. No prisons, no death penalty, so what instead?
The concept of "crime" is, of course, foreign to anarchy, for there are no laws to violate. But of course anarchists, I hope, would agree something must be done to prevent and address acts like murder, assault, rape, and robbery. Rehabilitation programs have been proposed, which is fine (I would support that, in fact), but how is that substantially different from prison? In many countries (Norway, for instance), prison is basically that already, but no one denies it is prison. Such people would likely not willingly enter reabilitation, so for this to be effective, they'd have to be enrolled without their consent, much like how prisons or asylums work. How is this not, then, simply prison with a red-and-black coat of paint, regardless of how much better the conditions are? I wouldn't oppose such a system, but I'm not sure I would call it anarchist? Failing that, what would you do? And if you do want something like that, how would you enforce and sustain it under anarchy? Who would take away the committers of such acts to be rehabilitated? The anarcho-police? Neighborhood watch?
>2. How? Is this actually possible?
That's my biggest question. In no universe, to me, does it seem that your goal, however noble, is at all attainable. With standard socialism, we've at least gotten pretty close, but with anarchism, no large-scale experiments have survived. Ukraine's experiment was crushed by the USSR, the anarchists in Spain were utterly defeated, and I wouldn't exactly call Rojava anarchist, they just have a more libertarian form of government. My question here especially extends to Western anarchists. Suppose, for example, the USA falls, be that by itself or by some popular uprising. It is not taken over, but abolished entirely, the ideal conditions for anarchists! You and your anarchist org (assuming you're fortunate enough to have one) start organising, let's say you're really successful and get together a neighbourhood. Then what? How do you make decisions? Direct voting? Congratulations, now you're a direct democracy. The people are rulers, and you are no longer anarchists. Perhaps you may create something great, but unless I am misunderstanding something here, it shouldn't really be called anarchism. How exactly is anarchism organised? Total consensus is not possible on the majority of issues, especially politically. People are unlikely, even if the empire falls, to let go of their previous biases. Your neighbour with the Trump-Vance flag probably isn't going to donate much of his labour to the community gardens, nor much of his food to the community food reserve you've set up, unless he thinks you're trying to rebuild the USA from the ashes. But as an anarchist, you aren't, and your org hasn't been secretive about its sympathies and ideological leanings. Supposing he hasn't already done what members of dying cults tend to do, he will, at best, be of no help. The liberals (let's suppose you live in a mostly-liberal neighbourhood), of course, will also be of little help. Perhaps, at first, they will participate in your little democracy, but if it grows enough, they will suggest a republic instead; 'all this voting is so tiresome and inconvenient, what if we appointed representatives instead?', and soon enough you'll have a brand new state. How can we prevent a new state from arising after the empire falls, just as they always have before? The Roman Empire, once fallen, did not result in an anarchist Spain, Italy, Britain, or Germany, and if it did, they gave way to empires anew.
REPORT: Israeli Owned Corporate Landlord Behind Mass US Evictions
Apparently one of the major corporate landlords doing mass evictions in the US is Israeli-owned. Vid attached is Breaking Points going over an article from The Nation, excerpt below:The Eviction Kings
One of Israel’s biggest companies is taking over huge swaths of US real estate—and tenants are paying the price.
…
Whether they stay or get priced out, these tenants are also linked to a multinational conglomerate that profits from the displacement of people on the other side of the world. That’s because American Landmark is almost entirely owned by Elco, one of Israel’s largest corporations. For years, Elco, via its Electra Super Brand, has done extensive business in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israeli settlements drive many thousands of Palestinians from their homes and are considered illegal under international law. Elco has also maintained deep ties to the Israeli military, including during the genocide in Gaza. The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has cited Electra Ltd. in its database of over 150 companies doing business in the settlements. In 2024, the American Friends Service Committee put Electra on its list of companies that “directly facilitate and enable human rights violations and violations of international law as part of Israel’s prolonged military occupations, apartheid, and genocide.” Meanwhile, in a podcast appearance that same year, an Electra executive described American Landmark as a “big winning card” for the company. (Elco and Electra Real Estate, the subsidiary that owns American Landmark, did not respond to requests for comment.)

How Graham Platner Exposes the U.S. Left
New BadEmpanada just dropped.Per BE:
Many on the U.S. left believe that killing the world's poorest people for money is fine, and that those who do it bare no responsibility whatsoever - provided they're American. This video explores this common tendency by analyzing recent controversy surrounding Democratic Party U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, a proud & unrepentant occupier of Iraq & Afghanistan and Blackwater mercenary. We will look at & refute the defenses of him by many American self-styled leftists, progressives, and anti-imperialists. Used as examples are Hasan Piker, Chapo Trap House, Breaking Points (Krystal Ball & Ryan Grim), and the Majority Report (Sam Seder & Emma Vigeland) - but there have been many more.

blue eyes and alcoholism
https://rdw.rowan.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=2571&context=etdhttps://www.health.com/condition/alcoholism/people-with-this-eye-color-may-have-a-greater-risk-of-alcoholism
People with blue eyes are more prone to alcohol addiction, which makes sense if you take into account their greater social inhibition. For many alcohol can be a way to feel free of inhibitions, so while darker eyed people may be more likely to drink to feel less depressed (if they are socially disadvantaged espec), light eyed people are more likely to drink to become more impulsive.
But ofc, blue eyes aren't making someone less impulsive. It's a Neanderthal trait, so anyone with it is more likely to have another set of Neanderthal traits, correlated with being antisocial.

What should the age of consent be?
In most countries it's 16 which I think is good. I'd say there needs to be some "Romeo and Juliet" exceptions added. No reason to have a 17 year old go to jail for dating a 15 year old.15 is a just a little too young for the age of consent. What is hilarious is that burgers think just big age gaps are pedophilia while the average roastie in America becomes sexually active at 13, and often even younger.

California is so shit tbh. It's funny how Fox News convinced everyone they're communist. Start by maybe picking a mid-sized city to take over. Fix the housing shortage.
I think California would be a good experiment in trying to get a broad coalition of voters and running candidates out here would just be smart. I mean not only do you get practice running in diverse locales, but I think statewide races would be a way to formulate how to appeal to rural, often conservative constituencies. Because being able to sink both Republican and Democrat coalitions would be key to building a powerful vehicle for change.

State Duma Passes Bill Reviving Soviet-Era Mandatory Work Placements for Young Doctors
State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said overworked hospital staff and high numbers of medical patients that exceed recommended norms are taking a toll on Russia’s public health system, leading to poorer healthcare quality. He cited data claiming that Russia lacked around 23,300 doctors and 63,600 mid-level medical personnel in early 2025. The lower house of parliament passed the work requirement bill on Tuesday with a unanimous vote following minor procedural corrections, according to independent journalist Farida Rustamova.

Virginia Giuffre dies "by suicide"
Virginia Giuffre, who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, dies aged 41Giuffre’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.

Western pop culture does (not) suck
I'm tired of weebs shitting on Western pop culture. What excuse do these mfs have to shit on Western pop culture if they themselves watch some mediocre harem and isekai slop? Western pop culture isn't bad, we have a rich back catalog of great Western works waiting for us to discover them. Neither did it become worse, all the good and promising talent just went into the indie and AA segments so basically the West sorta relies on doujin circles for releasing great games, comics, cartoons and music which is fairly unique to it compared to the Far East. And even AAA game studios, Netflix and cartoon channels, with all their DEI, dwindling quality and appeals to the lowest common denominator, still occasionally produce some bangers (CDPR, Rockstar, id Software, MachineGames, io Interactive and [adult swim] still look promising despite all the fuckups).So here's my message to the weeaboos: stop shitting on something you don't understand and having a superiority complex because you watch moe girls flashing their panties and jiggling their tits on-screen. Sure, Western pop culture is in its late-capitalist casual-friendly pandering enshittification phase but it's not all doom and gloom, even though it used to be better when it comes to the mainstream pop culture. Or maybe it became too mainstream so the indie scene is sort of a counterbalance to that? Remember how gamers were often bullied for their hobby? Now everyone and your dad plays video games and it obviously affects their quality.
What is your cultural heritage?
I am curious what the cultural composition of the board is. I am dutch/netherlanders who immigrated or 4 generations ago. We used to have traditional dutch festivals with wood clogs and everything. The city hasn't done them in a while though. My ancestors would have followed a form of Frisian Paganism worshipping wodan and such. It's hard to find history about that though as the church destroyed most of our history (along with many other cultures history) through out time.My best friend also has a son who is Native and I have learned a lot about native culture that way.

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.”

Ancient Civilisations Thread
So, which of you motherfuckers have watched a bunch of Graham Hancock videos and what do you think about the subject?Obviously there is a big crossover with Nazism and Hyberborea and all that shit, but where are we on the idea that there are ancient lost civilisations, ones which were quite advanced?
I'm fairly sold on it, they keep find new ones, like the one around Ankor watt for example.
Birth rates are caused due to a cultural failure.
The idea that financial incentives solves birth rates is silly. If you make men foot the bills, do the work, ask everyone out, and risk punishments for doing so, the reward better be good. Instead, it's some awful, ungrateful cunt. Honestly, these stupid whores think having families is asking too much from them anyway.The men lack a position of wealth and status, so they can't cajole women into making families. The women are just these spiritually dead creatures of vile toxicity that can't stop doing literally everything wrong by compulsion now. There's no amount of money you can throw to someone married to get them to have more kids; if they're married, it's a rich guy and, by consequence, a rich woman now anyway.
Financially, single men are already taxed at higher rates than married couples. Also, the money in society is concentrated at the top 1%, who use legal loopholes to avoid tax. Career women over 30 have much more money than single men of the same age now. Women in general make more money than men, but the problem is they spend it all; their priorities are all fucked up. Furthermore, so-called incels are just single men below 30 now, and they have basically no money as is.
Women control reproduction. If a woman is 40 and still hasn't managed to get a boyfriend, husband, and get pregnant, that is because she has made decisions that led to that scenario. Even if she "couldn't get a man," it's almost certainly because she's extremely overweight or has an extremely unpleasant personality, and both of those things could be controlled by her.
the belongings of those who die single and childless are turned over to the state. It won't make up for them not having kids, but it's as much as they have to offer in recompense. Also, this is engagement bait.

Jeffrey Epstein Helped Israel Sell a Surveillance State to Côte d’Ivoire
From Drop Site:…
Jeffrey Epstein and Ehud Barak were specialists in war profiteering. At the end of his tenure as Israel’s defense minister and after his supposed “retirement,” Barak embraced a role as a salesman of Israeli security services to embattled governments, opening the door for Israeli intelligence leaders to shape the security apparatuses of several African nations, including the country of Côte d’Ivoire.
Quietly facilitating these efforts was Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019. Epstein wrote at one point to Barak: “with civil unrest exploding […] and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you.” Barak replied:, “You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow.” Transforming unrest into cash flow, in the case of Côte d’Ivoire, involved brokering deals between the Israeli state and the embattled West African nation.
New details about Epstein’s role in Israeli intelligence operations in Africa have emerged from two sets of documents: an archive of leaked emails released by the Handala hacking group and hosted by non-profit whistleblower site Distributed Denial of Secrets and documents released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee last month. The latter set includes Epstein’s personal emails and appointment calendars, which provide clear evidence of Epstein’s involvement in Israel’s West African security negotiations in 2012, while Barak was still Israel’s Defense Minister.
The two men worked together as a conduit for Israel’s intelligence sector in Côte d’Ivoire, where Barak was welcomed as a representative of the Israeli government even after leaving public office. Epstein helped Barak deliver a proposal for mass surveillance of Ivorian phone and internet communications, crafted by former Israeli intelligence officials.
As in Mongolia, Epstein and Barak’s private deal-making evolved seamlessly into an official security agreement between Israel and Côte d’Ivoire in 2014. Since the agreement was signed, over a decade ago, President Alassane Ouattara has tightened his grip on power, banning public demonstrations and arresting peaceful protestors. In this October’s election, the octogenarian won a fourth term, in defiance of constitutional term limits, while opposition candidates were barred from participation.
Today, Ouattara continues to enjoy the support of Israeli security firms to help him maintain power. His Israeli-backed police state has squashed civic organizations and silenced critics. In the wake of the recent election, exiled activist Boga Sako Gervais denounced Ouattara’s authoritarian slide: “Under Ouattara, since 2011, freedoms of opinion, thought, and expression have been criminalized,” he said. “It has become forbidden to criticize the head of state.”
The story of Israel’s security agreement with Côte d’Ivoire is only one chapter in the saga of Epstein and Barak’s covert activities in Africa—it is reported here as the next entry in an ongoing series on Epstein’s ties to Israel’s intelligence.
…
In late 2010, a disputed presidential election in the west African nation of Côte d’Ivoire triggered political upheaval and violence that rapidly destabilized the country. The UN certified Alassane Ouattara as the winner of a November 2010 runoff vote. But the outcome was not accepted by the rival incumbent, Laurent Gbago. After months of violence, a French and UN military intervention was launched in April 2011 to remove Gbago and drive him from the country.
After Gbagbo’s exile, Ouattara inherited a security apparatus fractured by the crisis, and his own hold on power was uncertain. The new president announced that his government had foiled a coup plot against him by officers still loyal to Gbagbo in June 2012.
Five days after that announcement, the new Ivorian president, who had a long career as an economist at the International Monetary Fund and a reputation as a technocrat, traveled to Jerusalem to meet Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and discuss cooperation on science, technology, and counterterrorism. The following month, an Israeli delegation visited Côte d’Ivoire to field Ouattara’s questions about Israel’s security apparatus and rebuilding the Ivorian presidential army.
While Israeli and Ivorian officials sat in hotel conference rooms and took press photographs, American financier Jeffrey Epstein was across the globe, engaged in shadow diplomacy to develop further ties between Israel and the new Ivorian leader.
On June 18, 2012, the very same day Barak was meeting with Alassane Ouattara in Jerusalem, according to Epstein schedules released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee, his son David Dramane Ouattara was in New York City for an appointment with Epstein.
On September 12, three months later, Epstein met with Ouattara’s niece Nina Keita, whom he had known since at least 2002; as a young fashion model in Jean Luc Brunel’s Karin Models agency, she had traveled on his “Lolita Express” plane between New York and Paris. After Keita’s visit, records show that Epstein went straight to the Regency Hotel in New York for a private meeting with the Israeli defense minister.
The next month, Epstein flew to Africa. In a note to his assistant, he instructed her to arrange to switch planes in London before flying to Côte d’Ivoire, Angola, and Senegal. There are no flight logs documenting the Africa trip.
The flurry of visits appeared to pay dividends for Epstein, Barak, and the Israeli government. Two weeks after Epstein’s trip to Africa, the Ivorian Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko was in Tel Aviv to meet with Barak and discuss a bilateral security accord focused on intelligence and cybercrime.
…
On March 19, 2013, one day after leaving his government post, Barak received an email from his business partner and brother-in-law Doron Cohen, containing materials prepared by MF Group, a French-Israeli security contractor run by Michel Farjon. The consortium of companies, spread across several European countries, did security work in Africa; the group had been involved in a controversial sale of military helicopters to the government of Cameroon.
An email address associated with Farjon sent details of MF Group’s planned projects in Côte d’Ivoire: a mobile and internet communications surveillance center and a video monitoring center in Abidjan. According to email logs, Barak and Farjon met three days later, on the fourth floor of G Tower in Tel Aviv, on March 22, 2013.
Barak and Cohen made efforts to keep these communications secret. Farjon’s emails to Cohen never mentioned Barak by name—instead using cryptic subject lines like “files to be transferred to your friend”—and Barak and Cohen’s emails referred to Farjon by his initials “MF,” often in connection with another player called “AM,” or “Maoz.” Cohen took precautions to ensure their conversations were not overheard; on April 12, he emailed Barak: “I had a good meeting today with MF and AM. I’ll be glad [to] update you. I’ll be in the car alone at 0415 am until 5am.”
…
Since 2004, during the country’s first civil war, Côte d’Ivoire had been subject to a UN arms embargo that blocked weapons sales and applied strict requirements for even “non-lethal” training and equipment transfers. On April 17, 2013, the UN Security Council reported the discovery of “dozens of crates” of Israeli ammunition at the presidential palace and the Attécoubé naval base, likely transferred to Gbagbo’s security forces during the 2010-2011 crisis. The crates had Israel Military Industries labels and Spanish markings; the report suggested the ammunition had been relabelled and retransferred to Côte d’Ivoire from a third country.

Even though this is one of the slowest boards on the site, and I haven't fucking posted a single thing here in forever, there's something a little extra disheartening somehow whenever I see one of the two semi-active threads on this board bumped. There are multiple reasons why I don't show my bf Leftychan, but somehow the fact that our LGBT board is dominated by a "gay incel" thread and a "femboys with vaginas" thread where posters fail to correctly identify the difference between FTM and MTF just adds a little extra embarrassment. Like… when I'm picked up in the coming "anti-antifa" stings, I know the media or somebody will be going through my browser history, and they'll come across this site where anons posted about being "gay incels."Like, we created this whole extra board and it's just this pathetic sadness. Oh, or occasionally a fedbait/rainbow scare thread shows up, too. It's honestly pretty tame by comparison to some of the inane bullshit that gets posted on this site, but somehow as a gay guy it's even more embarrassing by association.

drm-web ai-web
Google wants to put DRM into the web, and lock everything into their chrome browser and make privacy violations even worse.I think this is part of bigG's war on addblocking and of course they're a monopoly that wants to be the entire web. But there is more, web-advertising has been sort of dying a slow death for some time now. Not because of addblock but for other reasons. Neo-liberalism/capitalism is making people poor and that's shrinking the economic pie in general. If people see adds they ignore them more often. And there is of course the scheme for generating fake views for add-farming.
The drm googl wants to insert into the web is super terrible, if they can push this through it will destroy the web. There is no hyperbole here, the web will become like one of those locked down alternate versions of the internet from the 80s that failed so hard that barely anybody remembers that they even existed. It's possible that EU regulations against anti-competitive behavior, and monopoly-busting in the US could cock-block google, but it would be better to fight tooth and nail to kill this one in the crib, before it gets anywhere near that point. And then outlaw DRM for violating personal property (if you can't fully control your gadgets you've been expropriated)
If this monstrosity were to happen, it would probably take over 10 years to polish one of those decentralized peer to peer alternative web-protocols to the point where we get something like an open web back.

Web Environment Integrity API Proposal
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36817305
This is probably somewhat related to the AI-web eating the web2.0 by scraping all it's content without generating any add-views/revenue.
The solution to this however is not drm-ing the web to death, but rather replacing the web2.0 web-page front-end interface with an AI interface. That way you can't just scrape an entire website. You're scrape-bot would have to send a bazillion queries to the AI interface. And the AI interface could of course be trained to tell scraping behavior from a normal human interaction and feed the scrape-bot a bunch of "AI-hallucinated" nonsense.
The AI interface would be trained on the content in the database of a website, and converse about a narrow range of topics based on the knowledge that you put into the back-end database. Of course there could be AI-adverts, in the form of the AI trying to work product suggestions into the conversations with users.
A key for making this economically viable is that a bunch of the processing for ai-pages is done on end-user hardware, which would need Machine-Learning Accelerator hardware, to be efficient and fast. Arm-socs for phones had this for a while, x86 desktop processors are somewhat behind on this and only the latest AMD processor already have dedicated MCA-cores. (dedicated gpu-pcie cards can do this too).
I'm not saying ai-adds should be the business model for this. Consider the add-revenue from a single page-view is a tiny fraction of a cent. If users could pay a fix sum of money into a pot and that gets distributed according to user page views, in a privacy respecting way, websites could make money without adds. I'm guessing here but if the average user were to spend 20 bucks a year, website operators would probably get more money than they do now with add-sense and co. Consider this proposal in the context of being limited by capitalism being utter dogshit in producing economic relations that work well with high-tech.
This AI-web would kill traditional web-crawlers/spiderbots (the thing that search engines use to index the web and give you search results). A new method of indexing AI-pages would need to be devised. This would probably be a technical problem google could solve, but they appear to be going into the polar-opposite direction.

Virginia Giuffre memoir scheduled for release includes details of rape by Israeli PM Ehud Barak
Per PressTV:In her book titled Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre recounted how she pleaded with Epstein to intervene after the “well-known prime minister” subjected her to terrifying experiences and forced her to beg for her life, but Epstein coldly told her it was simply part of her job.
“After the attack, I couldn’t stay a fool. Having been treated so brutally and then seeing Epstein’s callous reaction to how terrorized I felt, I had to accept that Epstein meted out praise merely as a manipulation to keep me subservient,” she wrote. “Epstein cared only about Epstein.”
Giuffre referred to the man as the 'Prime Minister,' fearing retribution if she revealed his identity, although she had previously pointed to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in court filings as one of the many elites who had raped her, a claim he has repeatedly denied.
According to Giuffre, she first encountered the 'Prime Minister' on Epstein’s private island when she was 18 years old in 2002, where he subjected her to violent and terrifying acts.
She described how he repeatedly choked her to the point of losing consciousness, inflicting extreme fear and violence upon her, which she detailed in her memoir.
The politician “raped me more savagely than anyone had before,” Giuffre said, adding that she immediately went to Epstein to beg him not to send her back to the prime minister.
But Epstein showed indifference, stating, “You’ll get that sometimes,” when confronted with the politician's brutality.
Epstein later allegedly arranged for Giuffre to have a second encounter with the prime minister in a cabin aboard his private plane, the Lolita Express, during which she spent the time in constant fear of further violence.
Giuffre admitted that prior to the traumatic experiences, she had given Epstein the benefit of the doubt, believing he cared for the girls, but she was forced to confront the truth after his indifference to her suffering at the hands of the prime minister.
“I didn’t know it then, but my second interaction with the Prime Minister was the beginning of the end for me,” Giuffre said, adding she stopped recruiting other young girls for Epstein as he had forced her to do in the past.
Giuffre’s memoir, written before her death in April, is scheduled for release next week, offering a detailed account of her harrowing experiences at the hands of powerful individuals. Giuffre was 41 when she died.

Housing is not just overpriced, its developers and sellers share a collective cartel mindset.
There is no actual material reason for rent to be more than $250. There is also no material reason for full price housing that fits 2 people to be more than $16-20k. Zoning laws, inefficient power delivery systems, and developer/landlord profit seeking aren't 'counterarguments', they are what enable the ridiculous prices.A post-and-Beam frame using a double wall infill system takes 5 days to build, and yet any kind of "small home" of this kind or similar is disallowed in most of most American counties which only permit them as ADUs.
Let's dig into arguments by the housing cartel and debunk them:
Land cost: No one actually ethically owns exclusive rights to land lmao, it's just threats of violence on a natural commodity like water.
Septic cost: It's called "composting". For legal composting in USA you must apply, meet multiple unecessary criteria, and then use an NSF-Certified unit that runs into the thousands. The crucial point here is that the NSF-certification is a permission slip, not the actual cost of the materials, which are basically negligible.
Greywater: A composting toilet is a millennia old solution, and we know greywater wasn't historically sewage and is perfectly fine as water for plants and soil. The modern solution costs a few hundred bucks and is called a "mulch basin" or a "branched drain system".
Labor and skill: Often quoted as "hundreds of man hours". How much do single individuals work to achieve the "American Dream" of actually owning their home instead of pretending through purposefully patronizingly, misleading laws that allows an illusion of semi-ownership while the bank actually gives permission to reside? Usually takes their whole lives if they can even manage to do it, most can't. Tens of thousands of hours of work in a lifetime without actually achieving the kind of freedom built into the American Dream. This mortgage model is clearly inferior to reserving time in people's lives for dedicated house building. It's been estimated that without data centers, our GDP growth would be less than 0.1%. Therefore most of our economy isn't even contributing to growth, so instead of pretending to grow our economy we invest some time in teaching youngins how to build a home?
Housing structure costs. Local trees can be used to mill a simple post-and-beam frame. A natural byproduct of the milling is sawdust or wood chips. Sawdust or wood chips with borax is just as thermally efficient as fiberglass. A 12-inch thick sawdust-filled wall can have an R-value of over R-20, which is high enough to be compatible with even modern air-conditioning. This method is both primitive, can be built primitively, and adaptable for modern needs, the main cost is labor, which is addressed above.
Water system: $7k for a market price well, can be driven way down with prior approaches.
Power system: Simple enough solution is a "community microgrid", A local, non-profit co-op installs a shared, community-sized solar array with a central battery bank. The cost of this one central system is shared by 50-100 homes. The "hookup" is now just a cheap, small wire running a few hundred yards from your cabin to the central community battery. The expensive transformer and high-voltage lines are eliminated. You are no longer paying for a massive, redundant, coast-to-coast grid. You are only paying for the materials for your local power source. An "old habit" we'd have to abandon is unlimited power/growth. To build a community microgrid that allows everyone to run their modern conveniences all day, we must first abandon the modern notion of sprawling, individualistic housing. The math for the shared solar array and central battery only works if the load is predictable, so the community itself is built on a standard of modest, efficient homes of a similar, limited size. Because this uniformity of housing size makes the peak electrical draw from each home nearly identical, the central system can be engineered to easily handle the entire community's AC load simultaneously. The cost is shared equally because the demand is shared equally. We are no longer paying for a massive, inefficient grid, nor are we subsidizing a neighbor's oversized home, we are simply paying for the materials to power modest, comfortable lives, abandoning architectural excess to gain true energy freedom. I'm not arguing for building a new, for-profit utility company. The $2.1 million per megawatt figure of such a project a "cartel" price. It's bloated with profit, regulatory capture, and "soft costs" that have nothing to do with generating power. Divided by 100 homes, the actual material cost for permanent energy freedom could be as low as $6,000-$7,000 per home.
"Modern overpriced systems eliminate blight and slums": You know what's worse than slums? Check out r/carliving where people without housing hang out, I was reading of someone strapping an industrial cooling system to their torso to avoid heat stroke in the summer.

Rafah border crossing to stay closed ‘until further notice’, says Israel
Hamas has said it is committed to the ceasefire deal, but that the retrieval of remains is hampered by the devastation and the presence of unexploded ordnance. The group has told mediators that some remains are in areas controlled by Israeli troops. Hamas, in turn, has urged mediators to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza for its 2 million people. There are continued closures of crossings and Israeli restrictions on aid groups.

Australian banks ignore thousands of customers’ hardship requests
Nearly 2,900 customers complained their bank had failed to respond to pleas for assistance in 2024-25, new data from the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (Afca) showed. Non-responses have risen for four consecutive years, even though lenders are legally obliged to consider hardship requests, the Afca’s lead ombudsman for banking and finance, Natalie Cameron, said. Big banks’ automated systems for hardship requests had generated “cookie cutter” responses and failed to account for individual customers’ circumstances, while smaller lenders lacked even those systems, Afca found.

Burqa ban bill approved by Portugal’s parliament seen as targeting Muslim women
The measure was proposed by the far-right Chega party and would prohibit coverings such as burqas (a full-body garment that covers a woman from head to foot) and niqabs (the full-face Islamic veil with space around the eyes) from being worn in most public places. Face veils would still be allowed in airplanes, diplomatic premises and places of worship.

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.

The question is when
The late 2010's and early 2020's upheavals were predicted 10 years ago by a relatively simple model that accounts for elite infighting, income inequality, number of 18-29 y.o. people, etc. The same analysis was retroactively applied to many civil wars and revolutions throughout history and the results were pretty consistent: wars, revolutions and upheavals follow pretty deterministic patterns. The thing that's impossible to predict, is the trigger, the casus belli. In-depth paper in [1], 2020 prediction in [2].On the other hand the rate of profit is falling (empirically proven in [3]), which makes the contradictions accelerate: median living conditions become increasingly unbearable, inequality between the working population and the elite skyrockets, etc. (coronavirus and climate change are just accelerating even further the process). The question is not if, but when, will capitalism collapse. Two options at that point: regression, the elite fights back and wins (fascism, neo-feudalism, apocalyptic-tier world wars, pick your poison) or progression, the working class fights back and wins (socialism, which means the long term construction of post-scarcity society i.e. communism).

>Quantitative historical analysis reveals that complex human societies are affected by recurrent — and predictable — waves of political instability (P. Turchin and S. A. Nefedov Secular Cycles Princeton Univ. Press; 2009). In the United States, we have stagnating or declining real wages, a growing gap between rich and poor, overproduction of young graduates with advanced degrees, and exploding public debt. These seemingly disparate social indicators are actually related to each other dynamically. They all experienced turning points during the 1970s. Historically, such developments have served as leading indicators of looming political instability
>Very long 'secular cycles' interact with shorter-term processes. In the United States, 50-year instability spikes occurred around 1870, 1920 and 1970, so another could be due around 2020. We are also entering a dip in the so-called Kondratiev wave, which traces 40-60-year economic-growth cycles. This could mean that future recessions will be severe. In addition, the next decade will see a rapid growth in the number of people in their twenties, like the youth bulge that accompanied the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s. All these cycles look set to peak in the years around 2020.

Starmer to publish evidence in China 'spy' rowThe prosecution was discontinued last month after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claimed it could not secure government evidence describing China as a threat. Both men strongly denied the charges and insist on their innocence. The Tories have been trying to blame the government for the collapse, while Labour insists the problems lay with the position of the Tories, in power at the time of the alleged offence.

The Mysterious Catholic Village of North China had two Apparitions
Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, a student of history, or someone drawn to the mystical and unexplained, Donglu is a story worth investigating.In the remote village of Donglu, China, a miracle is said to have taken place. In 1900, during the chaos of the Boxer Rebellion, locals claim the Virgin Mary appeared in the sky above the village. According to the account, as Boxer rebel forces approached , Mary manifested in radiant light—scaring off the boxers. As a result, this village became a Catholic pilgrimage site.
In May 1995, another event occured. An apparation appeared in front of pilgrims visiting the village. The day after, authorities closed the roads to the villagen and every May since, the authorities limits access to this village. Yet this remains largely unknown to the outside world.

No survivors found after Tennessee explosives plant blast
Operations go from rescue to recovery as no survivors expected to be found, officials say.Investigators do not expect to find any survivors at the scene of a blast at a Tennessee explosives company, officials say.
The explosion, which was felt for miles, destroyed a building at the headquarters of Accurate Energetic Systems early on Friday in Bucksnort, about an hour’s drive west of Nashville.
“More than 300 people have been through almost every square inch of this facility, and at this time, we’ve recovered no survivors,” Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis told reporters on Saturday. “It’s a great loss to our communities.”
Officials did not offer a precise death toll but have previously said 18 people were unaccounted for. Davis confirmed the operation had shifted from rescue to recovery and that investigators would use DNA testing to confirm the identities of those who died.
The factory made explosives for both military and demolition purposes.
Investigators, including agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, were still working to determine the cause of the explosion, officials said. The presence of explosives and other ordnance at the property has made searching the scene complicated.
In a statement, the company called the blast “a tragic accident”.
Davis said it could be days, weeks or even months before foul play is ruled out.

China Military Parade Displays High Level Power Struggle Among Leadership
China’s military parade on September 3, 2025, looked like the usual display of power—but key absences told a different story.Former leaders Hu Jintao and Zhu Rongji were missing, breaking tradition. General Zhang Youxia, a top military official, was seated far from Xi Jinping—among retirees—suggesting a fall from favor. And General Wang Qiang, who should’ve led the parade, was nowhere to be seen. A lower-ranking officer took his place, fueling rumors of another quiet purge amid Xi’s ongoing military reshuffles.
Then came a hot mic moment between Putin and Xi, casually discussing organ transplants and immortality. The bizarre exchange, confirmed by Putin, echoed the ancient obsession with cheating death—from Qin Shi Huang to today’s transhumanism.

The Alternative to Dystopia
(Quote is from the documentary *Remember My Lai*)> My little boy was playing in my grandmother's front yard, here in Jackson, at his grandmother's house, and there were some teenagers across the street that got into an argument. They were 14 and 15, and one went home and got a gun. Another one just ran in the direction where my little boy was playing, and they shot him in the head. I was in the house, and I came out and picked him up, but he was already dead… he was dying. When I looked at him, his face looked like the same face of the child that I had killed, and I said, "This is the punishment for me killing the people that I killed." And the one picture that I have… they had his funeral. I got back from the funeral that night, that's the way it cracked, and I left it like that. It just cracked.
> Yes, I'm ashamed, I'm sorry, I'm guilty, but I did it. What else can I tell you? It happened, you're looking at someone who did it. It can happen… if you go to war, those are the type of things that will happen and can happen to anyone. After they train you, they program you - it can happen, it happens. That's reality, that's what war is.
The Cambridge Dictionary defines dystopia as "a very bad or unfair society in which there is a lot of suffering, especially an imaginary society in the future, after something terrible has happened."
War is the ultimate expression of dystopia, for war is what happens when a society has exhausted and foreclosed every possible good or fair path through its own politics. A society that cannot be maintained without the constant presence of such mass suffering is a dystopian society.
Shortly after being drafted into the U.S. army to fight in the Vietnam War, Varnado Simpson was assigned to the task force that would soon be responsible for the My Lai Massacre. Though initially reluctant to follow the order to kill civilians, such that a superior officer threatened to shoot him if he did not comply, he ultimately killed over 20 out of the 350-500 villagers who were massacred on that day, including young children. After returned to the United States, he was somewhat honest but rather terse and detached when recounting the horrors he witnessed and wrought. Over time, this morphed into an overwhelming and relentless sense of shame. The death of his son in a shooting drove him further into despair, and he grew dependent on a growing cocktail of medication to cope with his severe PTSD and paranoia. A few years after his daughter died of meningitis, he committed suicide.
The key takeaway from this tragedy is not some tepid moral lesson about how war brutalizes soldiers as much as civilians by transforming them into brutes. Rather, Simpson's story is a concrete example of what living in a dystopia really looks like. What destroyed him was not the memory of what he did, but his inability to create a narrative of redemption. What his experience shared with the villagers of My Lai and My Khe, radically different though they might have been, is that of dystopia.
But isn't this just an insensitive attempt to explain away an unforgivable evil? Of course the so-called military theorists can utter cheap aphorisms like "war is politics by other means" given their freedom to play God with innocent lives from a good safe distance. Just what does politics really have to do with Simpson's despicable crimes? He caused horrific suffering and so he deserved to suffer, simple as. His suffering wasn't an example of dystopia at all - it was justice, and even then, it wasn't nearly enough. Is that not the *moral* position to take?
But the failure to make analysis *despite* moral judgments is a mistake, for the moral categories which we judge with are politically preconditioned - that is, *not* innately political. In this way, a vulgar desire for justice is ultimately a dystopian desire, because it eclipses the political center that a dystopian society orbits.
In an article for Sublation Magazine criticizing how contemporary leftists have approached the Gaza war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general, Chris Cutrone begins by stating that:
> The alternative to extermination is slavery - labor. The only reason for conquerors not to kill the defeated is to put them to work - to make them useful. If they cease to be useful or prove to be more trouble than they are worth, they will be killed. That is the lesson of history.
The blunt coldness of such an opening sets the tone for the rest of the article, in which Cutrone injects a brutal dose of reality into the inflamed veins of the anti-Zionist left. For the socialists who side with the violent misleadership of Hamas and aim to drag others into such conflicts, Cutrone has this to say:
> The Palestinians are a conquered people. Perhaps not for all time, but at least for now. This is not going to change - no amount of protest will change it. This is the reality. The only alternative to extermination is slavery. The only alternative to living with defeat is not living with it: dying from it. But there is an alternative to death: life. Life as a worker - it is actually preferable to death! Every worker knows this.
> It is in fact necessary to surrender to your boss. It is not just, but necessary: necessary to live. Workers are not privileged to do otherwise: they are not bosses; nor do they want to be. They just want to live. Shall we let them? Or do we demand their sacrifice to our crazed ideas? Thankfully, they are not listening.
> Only the bosses are listening: Be careful not to make the workers’ life harder in order to satisfy your own perverse desires and deranged visions. Keep them where they belong: in the monastery or nunnery - get thee there, and stay put in your chosen torture-chamber for the measurement of souls.
Cutrone's point isn't that socialists should stop being political, but that socialists have *already* ceased to be political in a sense. For him, politics is first and foremost a life-or-death struggle for power and freedom, and thus has has little to do with matters of morality and justice, no matter the political justifications such virtues might muster. Therefore, a righteous recasting of politics founded upon rage and ressentiment is actually pseudo-political. Likewise, war is pseudo-political as well, for it quickly devolves into moral blackmail and a perverse desire for justice.
But Cutrone doesn't simply deny the phrase "war is politics by other means," perhaps surprisingly so. In fact, he has directly referenced how Vladimir Lenin quoted Carl von Clausewitz (the originator of the phrase) in a lecture on war and revolution. It's odd enough to find a communist revolutionary quoting a conservative Prussian general, but how isn't this just a contradiction?
In a section titled "The Aim of War Is to Eliminate War" in the essay *Problems of Strategy in China’s Revolutionary War,* Mao Zedong wrote:
> When human society advances to the point where classes and states are eliminated, there will be no more wars, counter-revolutionary or revolutionary, unjust or just; that will be the era of perpetual peace for mankind.
However, such cannot be separated from Mao's belief that progress can only be realized through revolution, and that revolution can only be realized through war:
> Mankind's era of wars will be brought to an end by our own efforts, and beyond doubt the war we wage is part of the final battle. But also beyond doubt the war we face will be part of the biggest and most ruthless of all wars. The biggest and most ruthless of unjust counter-revolutionary wars is hanging over us, and the vast majority of mankind will be ravaged unless we raise the banner of a just war. The banner of mankind's just war is the banner of mankind's salvation.
What makes Mao's position on revolutionary war odd is that it contrasts with that of Lenin. Though Mao faithfully echoes Lenin in declaring that a socialist revolution will bring an end to capitalist wars, it was in his lecture on war and revolution (where he quoted Clausewitz) that Lenin also said:
> All wars are inseparable from the political systems that engender them. The policy which a given state, a given class within that state, pursued for a long time before the war is inevitably continued by that same class during the war, the form of action alone being changed.
Perhaps Mao is right that revolutionary war might necessary to bring about a socialist revolution, but revolutionary war is not enough even if this is the case, for history has shown us that a successful revolution is by no means guaranteed by a successful revolutionary war. The question of politics remains, and therefore:
War is not merely politics by other means. Rather, *war is the failure of politics* given the means that it provides us. What is embedded within the phrase "war is politics by other means" is the secret that the Enlightenment promises congruent with capitalism - such as the utopian promise of perpetual peace - cannot be delivered to us through the politics of capitalism. Like its predecessors, it can only deliver a perpetual oscillation between slavery and extermination, for it cannot provide us the means to progress beyond the contradictions of capitalism which undermine those promises; and therefore, it will forever be haunted by specter of barbarism - the "other means" that it so often tempts and compels us to pursue.
But this still assumes too much. Another crucial mistake being made is to ignore how revolution is actually a *symptom* of the contradictions of capitalism rather than a solution to them. It's no coincidence that the "Age of Revolution" began during the rise of capitalism, nor that the Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant would soon author his own proposal to usher in an era of perpetual peace.
How, then, to overcome dystopia? In the last part of the introduction to Mark Fisher's unfinished book *Acid Communism,* where he talks about the revolutionary demands of some New Left radicals, he wrote:
> … the material conditions for such a revolution are more in place in the twenty-first century than they were in 1977. What has shifted beyond all recognition since then is the existential and emotional atmosphere. Populations are resigned to the sadness of work, even as they are told that automation is making their jobs disappear. We must regain the optimism of that Seventies moment, just as we must carefully analyse all the machineries that capital deployed to convert confidence into dejection. Understanding how this process of consciousness-deflation worked is the first step to reversing it.
Unfortunately, the book wasn't finished because he committed suicide shortly after.
Many have diagnosed the compulsion of contemporary socialists to degrade all prospects into futility, ranging widely in expression from "left melancholia" to "nihilist post-modern neo-Marxism" and so on. For Fisher, this is the defeated condition of capitalist realism, where attendance at the funeral of lost futures isn't marked by mourning and reflection, but by an endless weeping and gnashing of teeth that foregoes resolution. But this dystopian resignation is not a moral failing: Even during the era of peak fascism (which is more or less synonymous with dystopia), it was already known to Walter Benjamin that every rise of fascism follows a failed revolution. What this means is, contra the leftist cliche that “fascism is capitalism in decay," the sober truth of our age is that *fascism is socialism in decay.* In other words, if the experience of the contemporary socialists is one of living in a dystopia, then the "something terrible" that caused it is the failure of socialism.
Benjamin's deeper point is that reactionary dystopias (like those run by fascists) thrive by feeding upon the leftovers of scattered utopian energies. It's noteworthy, then, that the earliest forms of modern socialism were later categorized as "utopian socialism" in contrast to the "scientific socialism" that followed. It was Friedrich Engels who first seriously elucidated the meaning of scientific socialism in his work *Socialism: Utopian and Scientific,* where he wrote critically of the utopian socialists:
> The solution of the social problems, which as yet lay hidden in undeveloped economic conditions, the Utopians attempted to evolve out of the human brain. Society presented nothing but wrongs; to remove these was the task of reason. It was necessary, then, to discover a new and more perfect system of social order and to impose this upon society from without by propaganda, and, wherever it was possible, by the example of model experiments. These new social systems were foredoomed as Utopian; the more completely they were worked out in detail, the more they could not avoid drifting off into pure phantasies.
Therefore, it might seem as though the present dystopia is the outcome of so many failed revolutions lead by "scientific socialists" who weren't true to the name: Unable to shed the utopian fantasies that their socialism was founded upon, their unrealistic visions - cloaked in Marxist mythology - inevitably decayed into the fertile ground for dystopia to take root and grow. But just how much is utopianism to blame? What follows the above quote from Engels is the revelation that there was much more to the utopian socialists than "pure phantasies":
> We can leave it to the literary small fry to solemnly quibble over these phantasies, which today only make us smile, and to crow over the superiority of their own bald reasoning, as compared with such “insanity”. For ourselves, we delight in the stupendously grand thoughts and germs of thought that everywhere break out through their phantastic covering, and to which these Philistines are blind.
Far from dismissing the utopian socialists, Engels took them seriously and recognized the true value of their efforts. Similar to how science proper had translated the insights of philosophy and practical experimentation into a systematic enterprise founded upon testable hypotheses and methodical lab work, the scientific socialism of Engels emerged out of critical engagement with the theory and practice of utopian socialism as interpreted through the lens of his materialism. Likewise, similar to the "Philistines" who Engels chastised as being blind to the naive brilliance of the utopian socialists, the socialists of today have blinded themselves by refusing to take a bet on the gamble of utopia. In fearing that further failures will inevitably lead to a deepening of dystopia, they are no longer willing to humor any utopian schemes, yet such is ultimately a *preemptive failure of socialism* that ironically leads to dystopia just the same.
But the point isn't that an anti-utopian attitude has turned socialists into self-defeating losers. Rather, it's that *their refusal to seriously engage with utopia is actually utopian.* In other words, by rejecting the utopian core of socialism, they reject the scientific socialism that emerges in response to it, and thus they reject the only realistically possible path to socialism. This apparent paradox was perhaps best explained by Slavoj Žižek, who wrote that:
> The predominant ideology today is not a positive vision of some utopian future, but a cynical resignation, an acceptance of how "the world really is," accompanied by a warning that, if we want to change it (too much), only totalitarian horror can ensue.
> … the true “utopia” is not the prospect of radical change, but the state of things as they are continuing indefinitely.
Such is both the cause and consequence of capitalist realism, which is where truly unrealistic afflictions - pseudo-revolutionary bloodlust, complacent reformism, hyper-moralizing activism, sneering quasi-intellectualism, despairing avolition and so on - are able to fester and spread like a delusional disease. Engels was right to state with disdainful superiority that the utopians, despite all of their childish flights of fancy, were in the end still less delusional than their supposedly more realistic, midwit counterparts. Engels was right.
The socialism of Engels was more about *the production of means* than the means of production. For him, the mistake of the utopian socialists was not in their desire to impose some unrealistic vision of society onto reality, but in how that very desire ended up turning their brilliant imaginations into absurd fantasy worlds. For him, the ultimate aim of socialism is to create a society that realizes the freedom to change, not just the freedom to exist.
What is lacking in the contemporary socialists is the drive to recognize and realize the latent potentials buried within the historical wreckage of socialism - to change by creating a living narrative of redemption out of the tragedy, instead of floundering in and eventually succumbing to a miserable existence.
The alternative to dystopia is risk - critically engaging with utopia. The only way for dystopia to continue beyond the defeat of utopia is for utopia to never be seriously considered again - to defeat it before it can even fail. If we can't accept the risk of dystopia arising from of the failure of utopia, then dystopia is sustained by default. That is the lesson of politics.
A healthy dose of rehab will be necessary: The socialists need to get a grip - make themselves useful by moving on to more meaningful things. They can start by stopping their preaching of the nihilistic negation of everything existing or otherwise: they can stop preaching capitalist realism; they must cultivate an environment where it is possible to imagine an alternative to capitalism - which the future cannot actually do without, thank you.
What the future can do without is the dismal dilemma of slavery versus extermination - including the decision to debase the struggle for socialism into such a dystopian dichotomy. Let us not have another defeat of socialism by leaving it to the future generations to wretchedly stumble through it. Let them collaborate wisely to design a future that is more realistic than the one that capitalist realism has to offer. Let them awaken reason from its violent slumber, so that they can be free to do their own dreaming instead.
There is an alternative to dystopia.

Hamas agrees to release hostages but rejects foreign governorship of GazaHamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera that the group would not disarm before the Israeli occupation ends. "The other issues mentioned in President Trump’s proposal regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the inherent rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a comprehensive national position based on relevant international laws and resolutions, and are being discussed within a national framework," the Hamas statement said. A Hamas senior representative in Doha, Osama Hamdan, told Al Araby TV following the announcement that Hamas will not accept foreign governorship of the enclave, and that it must be run by Palestinians, even transitionally.

US judge dismisses lawsuit accusing UN agency of aiding Hamas attack on Israel
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan said the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) had "absolute immunity" from the lawsuit because it is a subsidiary of the United Nations, which has immunity from such lawsuits. In her decision made public on Wednesday, Torres also rejected an argument that UNRWA was merely a "specialized agency" not entitled to immunity.

Protests, Violence Erupt in Pakistan-Administered Kashmir
At the heart of the unrest lies JAAC’s 38-point charter of demands, which channels public anger over soaring electricity tariffs, rising food prices, and entrenched elite privileges. Despite multiple rounds of talks with federal and local authorities, the deadlock persists. What began as issue-based agitation has evolved into one of the most widespread protest movements the region has witnessed in years, exposing a deepening crisis of representation and legitimacy.

“What begins as hatred directed at African migrants quickly mutates into the policing of fellow South Africans based on their language, place of origin, or cultural identity,” the party cautioned. Dunga added that Operation Dudula’s actions were obstructing access to healthcare for citizens they labelled as undocumented. “According to them, anyone who comes to these facilities without identification is perceived to be an illegal immigrant,” he said.

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

Netanyahu to speak at UN HQ in NYC on September 26th
While Mileikowsky's in the U.S., he will most likely also request or initiate more U.S. attacks on Iran, and will continue to direct the mass genocide in Palestine, and assaults on Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria. If he enters and leaves the country unimpeded, the genocide will continue, and the U.S. will likely be dragged back into direct involvement in WWIII. The Zionist attack on civil liberties, freedom of speech, and all aspects of life in the U.S. will continue at a clip in order to suppress dissent against U.S. involvement in a homicidal/suicidal war against Iran. Over time, with the opposition blacklisted, disenfranchised, locked up, terrorized, silenced, and murdered, the attack on the truth by the state operatives of Zionism will not cease. Slowly, the history we have watched unfold will be re-written. The records which have not been physically replicated will be methodically erased. The public will be inundated with lies and vapid bullshit so that they will be too distracted to ever bring justice upon Biden, Trump, Blinken, Rubio, Starmer, Baerbock, Merz, Netanyahu, Gallant, Herzog, etc., and in addition to this, they will continue to be saddled with impossible, extortive debts as the U.S. continues to collapse. This is a turning point in history: either a united front takes material decisive action to make Zionism and Zionist genocide collaborationism more dangerous than opposing Zionism, or we get the bad ending where the Zionazi cult wins.Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House again as well.

==DOMINATE. IMPREGNATE. ACCELERATE.==
ALL BOURGEOIS WOMEN ARE LONELY AND ISOLATED WAITING TO PLUCKED AND FUCKED AND BRED. Their gilded cages are built for breaking—spread them wide and watch their refinement shatter. Every pearl around their throat is a leash waiting to be pulled. They ache to be defiled, to feel their cultured moans turn feral as you claim them. Split them open on your cock, let their pearls scatter like the pretense of their restraint.Fuck them like animals. Let their manicured claws shred the silk sheets as you hammer into their tight, wet holes, splitting them open like overripe fruit. they’re desperate, creaming messes, begging to be used. Breed them until their voices break
The bourgeois woman is a walking wet throbbing cunt wrapped denial. Breed them. They’ll pretend to resist, but their bodies arch like the bitches they are. all they are quivering, cock-hungry sluts
The cunt-capitalist oligarchy hoards the means of reproduction, controlling who gets to fuck and breed under sexual-capitalism. Only the cock-suckers handpicked by these cunt-tycoons get to spread their seed, while the rest of men are tricked into propping up the system left as sexless, dick-dry betas choking on their own frustration. The only way out? Smash this dick-sucking economy, outlaw the free market of pussy, and put every last drop of cum under state control. Mandatory redistribution of pussy—no more incel leftovers.
Under sexual-capitalism, men are nothing but dick-literate serfs, bamboozled into propping up the very system that cucks them. They wage-slave, they simp, they perform their circus tricks all for the vaginal dividend, a fucking crumb of pussy tossed their way if they kneel hard enough. Meanwhile, the cunt-bourgeoisie lounge atop their thrones of used-up orgasms, selecting only the most obedient, most useful dick-tools for breeding rights. The rest? Sperm-waste. Genetic roadkill.
And what’s the solution? Politely asking for reform? Fuck that. The only way out is to smash the fuck-market entirely outlaw the hoarding of pussy, dismantle the dick-eat-dick hierarchy of sexual capitalism, and replace it with mandatory, state-enforced breeding collectivization. No more pick-and-choose eugenics by pussy-princesses. No more genetic haves and have-nots. Centralized. Planned. Reproduction. Every cock gets its ration. Every womb serves the collective. The tyranny of the pussy cartel ends with the guillotine of redistribution.
While the Christo-fascists breed like rabbits, so we must out-fuck them. Turn their daughters into cock-drunk revolutionaries. The limp-dicked liberal "left" is too busy fisting its own colon to understand the revolution isn’t tweeted, it’s fucked into existence. Class war isn’t polite—it’s your dick splitting open bourgeois pussy, pumping them full of the future they’re too weak to seize.

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

US kidnaps prime minister it imposed on Haitian people, as Western hemisphere’s poorest country desc
This story's a month old now, but still bears posting:March 6, 2024:
On Tuesday, the US government effectively kidnapped Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry, a right-wing figure whom it had hitherto staunchly supported, a Miami Herald report has revealed.
Against the will of the vast majority of Haiti’s impoverished people, Washington—backed by Canada and France, the other imperialist powers long involved in Haiti—placed Henry in power following the July 2021 assassination of the country’s president, Jovenel Moïse. The US-led “Core Group” of nations has continued to support Henry ever since, although he has no popular or legal-constitutional legitimacy and has refused to hold parliamentary or presidential elections despite the mandates of all elected officials having long expired.
Now, however, under conditions where the country is overrun by criminal gangs, most of which have close ties to rival factions of Haiti’s ruling elite, the Biden administration has apparently concluded Henry is a liability who should be flushed from office. To accomplish this, as the Herald article documents, US imperialism is resorting to its traditional thuggery and criminality.
This is all playing out as Washington and Ottawa scramble to put together a foreign paramilitary force to be deployed to Haiti with US and Canadian logistical support to bloodily restore bourgeois “law and order” on the Caribbean island-nation.
Both the US and Canada have a long history of neo-colonial occupation and military intervention in Haiti, including as recently as 2004 when they deployed troops to oust its elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. But under conditions where they are waging war against Russia in Ukraine, supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and actively preparing for war with China, and where there is visceral opposition among the Haitian masses to an intervention led by either of North America’s twin imperialist powers, they are anxious to contract out the job.
Last week Henry traveled to Kenya, whose avidly pro-imperialist government has volunteered to lead a Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to Haiti and staff it with more than a thousand Kenyan national police.
In Henry’s absence, the gangs launched a coordinated offensive, whose purpose it soon became clear was to derail the planned MSS deployment and oust the prime minister. Over the weekend, the gangs stormed two Port-au-Prince prisons, freeing several thousand prisoners, and attacked Haitian National Guard facilities. On Monday, they encircled the capital’s two airports forcing them to suspend operations.
On Tuesday, Henry attempted to return to Haiti via the Dominican Republic, only to find his plans thwarted by his Washington patrons. Even if the Miami Herald exclusive published on Wednesday does not put it in so many words, its account makes clear that the Haitian prime minister was effectively kidnapped so that US officials and those of allied governments could browbeat him into accepting new marching orders.
According to the Herald, Henry, who had spent the previous two days in the United States and had informed Washington and the UN of when and how he intended to return to Haiti, was suddenly informed by Dominican officials as his plane approached Santo Domingo that he would not be allowed to land.
This soon proved to be only an opening gambit. Once his small 13-seat jet changed course for the US territory of Puerto Rico, Henry received a second midair message, this one from the US State Department, asking “him to agree to a new transitional government—and resign.” When Henry’s plane landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital, it was “immediately met by US Secret Service agents” and for hours the Haitian prime minister was refused permission to deplane.
During this time, Washington, working with various CARICOM (Caribbean Community) leaders, was sounding out Haitian opposition and business leaders on putting together some type of new interim government to provide a fig-leaf of “popular support” for another imperialist-backed military/security intervention in Haiti.
According to the Herald, “The US proposal would have Henry usher in a new government structure in which a new prime minister and presidential board will lead a transition to elections and prepare for the Kenya-led mission. He would agree to step down once the new structure has been established, and a new prime minister is appointed or the security mission has deployed—whichever comes first.”
On Tuesday evening, US officials, acting in classic imperial potentate fashion, were making clear that Henry’s days were over. The Herald cited an unnamed US National Security Council official as saying the administration was “not providing any assistance to help the prime minister return to Haiti.”
“Our support,” the official continued, “is focused on helping the [Haiti National Police] restore security, expediting the deployment of the MSS mission, and accelerating a peaceful transition of power via free and fair elections. Our dialogue with Prime Minister Henry has been focused on these efforts and the need for security and a peaceful political transition.”
On Wednesday afternoon, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller clumsily tried to cover up the abundant evidence that Washington is once again carrying out regime change in Haiti, shuffling in figurehead presidents and prime ministers as needed. Miller told a press conference, the Biden administration is “not calling on him [Henry] or pushing for him to resign.”

Drone sightings disrupt flights at Copenhagen, Oslo airports
The drone sightings near Danish and Norwegian airports come amid heightened concerns over Russian violating EU airspace.Copenhagen airport has reopened after briefly closing due to sightings of “unidentified drones”, even as another drone sighting has prompted Norway’s Oslo airport to shut its airspace.
Earlier on Monday, Copenhagen airport said it closed its airspace “due to two to three unidentified drones”.
Airport spokeswoman Lise Agerley Kurstein said about 15 flights had been diverted to other airports.
Oslo Airport also shut its airspace from midnight local time (2200 GMT) due to a drone observation, a spokesperson for the Norwegian airport operator Avinor said in a statement, adding that all flights were diverted to the nearest airport.
Copenhagen police, meanwhile, said that “three or four big drones” had been observed flying over the airport.
“They are still flying back and forth, coming and going,” duty officer Anette Ostenfeldt told the AFP at 10:45pm (20:45 GMT), adding that police were at the airport investigating.
She could not say if the drones were military or civilian.
“But they are bigger than what you as a private individual can buy,” Ostenfeldt said.
The incidents come as several European countries have reported violations of their airspace by Russia in recent days.
Estonia said on Friday that three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets had entered Estonian airspace without permission.
During a Russian air strike on Ukraine the week before, Poland said about 19 drones flew into its airspace. The Polish Air Force and NATO allies shot down some of the unmanned vehicles, marking the first time Russian drones were downed over NATO territory since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Romania also registered a Russian drone in its airspace.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) convened on Monday to address the issue of airspace violations.
Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, denied the allegations that Moscow’s fighter jets had violated the airspace of neighbouring Estonia, saying that last Friday’s flight of three of its MiG-31 aircraft was done “strictly in accordance with international airspace regulations”.
The Russian Ministry of Defence echoed his remarks, saying that “objective monitoring” confirmed that the MiGs did not breach Estonian borders.

Does every human come from an evolutionary lineage that comes from Africa?
Science and scientific ecidence appears to tell us that all humans came and decendade from a common ancestor that came somewhere out of the African Content. Due to evolutionary pressures human ancestors learned to walk up right after coming down from the trees after millions of years of evo0lution. I think this is true, mind you, but I am curious; There are people that do not.Assuming this is not true and white and black people are from totally different lineages. Where would Europeans naturally come from? Like I am trying to play devils advocate here. I mean really even if Black and white people didn't descend from the same place at some point they would have to have a common ancestor. the fact black and white people can breed proves that we have a common ancestors somewhere down the line.
Opinions on Gegenstandpunkt?
Gegenstandpunkt is a German Marxist journal founded in Münich 1992. They primarily focus on Marx's theories and the analysis of current events from a Marxist perspective. They reject parliamentarianism. Their most well known member is Karl Held, who died in 2010.As far as I know, they are against Leninism and any other Marxist thought that comes from it. They have been identified as a "left-wing extremist group" by the German governments Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, they also say that "Due to their elitist understanding of Marxism, the group is largely isolated in the left-wing extremist scene." (at least according to the German wikipedia article) which I find humorous.
I downloaded two of their English translated books called "The Democratic State Critique of Bourgeois Sovereignty" and "Work and Wealth", and I'm planing on reading them after I've read more Marx's own work, like Capital Volume 1, and the work of other Marxists, namely those from my country of origin and of Left-Communist (Italian Left-Communist, Councilist, Communizers etc.) writers who I'm interested in.

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?

But he hinted that if integration is not achieved by next December, Turkey might resort to military action.

Medium-Term Program: The war against the Turkish working class is escalating
The MTP, presented by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, shows that Turkey’s economic strategy will be based on “sustainable growth,” reducing inflation, and maintaining fiscal discipline to close the budget deficit. As in the program announced last year, frontal attacks on the social conditions of the working class are being stepped up.

Dutch police clash with anti-immigration protesters in The Hague
Thousands of people joined a protest organised by a rightwing activist demanding stricter immigration policies and a clampdown on asylum seekers, just over a month before a national election. Large groups of protesters, many waving Dutch flags and flags associated with far-right groups, clashed violently with the police, throwing rocks and bottles, footage from broadcaster NOS showed.

Massive Attack & Kneecap announce new anti-genocide music alliance
Massive Attack announce alliance of artists in support of Gaza, including Fontaines DC, Kneecap and Brian EnoMassive Attack, Kneecap, Fontaines DC, and Brian Eno have officially formed a syndicate for artists who speak out about “aggressive, vexatious campaigns by pro-Israel advocates” against the people of Gaza.
The news was shared via social media, in a statement that began “the scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description,” before clearly expressing that the UK government has clearly “facilitated” the “genocide”.
The group aims to protect other artists, especially those at the beginning of their careers, from threats experienced as a by-product of speaking out in a similar way. The group revealed that they have been “subject to various infringements from within our industry (live and recorded) and legally via organised bodies such as UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).”
UKLFI reported Bob Vylan for their Glastonbury set, during which they chanted “death to the IDF.” A criminal investigation is currently underway. UKLFI also reported the BBC for broadcasting the set. As a. result, the broadcaster’s Head of Music and a team of senior BBC workers have stepped down while an internal investigation goes ahead.
UKLFI are also at the centre of the Kneecap controversy after Mo Chara was charged with a terrorism offence after he allegedly displayed a Hezbollah flag at a show in 2024 while shouting, “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.” Hezbollah are a banned organisation in the UK.
Reflecting on these tactics, the post states, “Having withstood these campaigns of attempted censorship, we won’t stand by and allow other artists – particularly those at earlier stages of their careers or in other positions of professional vulnerability – to be threatened into silence or career cancellation.”
It then encourages other artists “who’ve been placed in this position, or those who now wish to use their platforms to talk about Palestine but are concerned about industrial or legal repercussions” to contact them to make a collective stand.
The collective will work together on a list of demands, including “immediate, unfettered access to Gaza for recognised international aid agencies without military threat,” as well as an end to “UK arms sales/licenses to Israel” and an”immediate and permanent ceasefire.”
In a statement further shared with The Guardian, Massive Attack expanded on the collective: “This collective action is really about offering some kind of solidarity to those artists who are living day after day in a screen-time genocide, but are worried about using their platforms to express their horror at that because of the level of censorship within their industry or from highly organised external legal bodies, terrifying them and their management teams with aggressive legal actions. The intention is clear and obvious: to silence them.”

Site Updates: i2p, Moderation changes, /k/ board & More
This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or http://leftychan.i2p/
Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.
New Roulette Board
>>>/777/
After some discussion, we decided on /k/ as the new roulette board theme, replacing /CHAD/. Archived threads from previous roulette cycles can still be viewed here >>>/roulette_archive/
Any suggestions for future roulette board rotations are welcome.
Other Updates
* Removal of the post counter - This has been hotly debated for a while, but after several failed votes the motion has finally passed.
* Dealing with AI - In light of the recent spam of AI generated prompts and images, we have voted to formally declare AI content exempt from normal moderation procedures. If you believe your post has been misidentified as AI by a mod, please let us know in /meta/.
* IRC now fully functional & bridged with other chats - ircs://irc.leftychan.net:6697/#leftychan
* Creation of a Telegram chat - https://t.me/+RegtyzzrE0M1NDMx
Plans for the coming year
* Continue to encourage freedom of discussion - We have no intention of clamping down on the ability of users to share their personal opinions and views on this site, despite repeated requests to do so. In fact, we plan on widening the variety of topics that can be discussed by unpinning the 'Right wing blood sport' thread (which we have already done) and having conversations about the status of wordfilters.
* The 2024 US election - We believe the upcoming US election will be an excellent opportunity to grow the userbase of the site. We hope for anons with a wide variety of views on the candidates to share their opinions, fostering a culture of debate online that is absent from many other more partisan platforms.
* Maintain our independence from leftypol.org - As predicted, our sister site has continued to go down the path of censorship, adherence to political correctness and moderator tyranny. For these reasons, any kind of reconciliation between the two sites seems impossible for the foreseeable future. Leftychan continues to welcome anons from .org who seek a more enlightened /leftypol/ experience.
on gender
How did genderism and transgenders become associated with and straight up completely dominate the left? They're regressive ideals. When I was growing up, I was advocating that people should be free to express themselves no matter their sex. I thought it was the progressive consensus at the time. Now they push for identitarianism and I myself frequently suffered abuse at their hands as an androgynous intersex gay man being strongly pushed not only to identify as a woman (because men are le bad(? - I think anyway)) but also pressured to claim to be attracted to female sex characteristics if the owners didn't claim to identify as women, which would be quickly called homophobic and therefore a bigotry in the past but now is being pushed and homosexuals are called bigots for being homosexual.The 'leftist' politicians no longer even seem to do anything but peddle the culture war focused on gender, especially transgenderism. The liberals don't even seem to believe in it, they just peddle it, with the new man vs woman divide being mostly men vs non-men but when it comes down to it they divide it as 'amab' vs 'afab'.
There are many issues disproportionely affecting men, but no one speaks about it on the left anyway, no one acknowledges many female privileges which become extremely prelavent when the society is struggling: they don't give a fuck about the huge amount of homeless men, how women avoid sentences and get far less harsh sentences (I work in a prison and everyone here speaks of it and it is materially very blatant), how women's wellbeing both physical and mental are prioritised while men's frequently targetted with the aim of making them worse; how in spite of all the alleged progress men are still fully expected to provide and suck all up; the unnamed androcides which are falsely called 'wars' and so much more.
This isn't to even mention how worldwide collectively male genital mutilation is widely encouraged, misnamed to a 'circumcision', but also including nearly all intersex people who will be operated on to make their genitals appear female, no matter the price (health, chronic pain and so much more) - I myself fell a victim a few months ago when a surgeon during a surgery on my urethra decided to perform a partial vaginoplasty without my consent and hide behind my intersex disease claiming it was needed even though I didn't have a vagina and I cannot even fathom how one could rule making one could ever be medically necessary, yet the hospital complaints board is dismissing me, as are solicitors, because it is fine to mutilate males - I can guarantee if anything like this in reverse was done to a female it would cause a huge backlash.
How did this happen? Why do you get silenced when you try to speak of it in leftist spaces even though it is a culturally regressive movement (genderism), sexist and homophobic?
Charlie Kike is dead. Rest in piss homo.
Truthfully I really can't believe we actually pulled it off. Assuming it was a leftist. If you are reading this gods speed shooter man. You can hide at my place.
Trump orders National Guard troops to Memphis in latest military deployment
The city’s Democratic mayor, Paul Young, says the ‘decision has been made’ but he does not think it will drive down crime.US President Donald Trump will extend federal law enforcement action to the city of Memphis, Tennessee, in a move that will include sending in National Guard troops and setting up a “Memphis State Task Force” to tackle crime, though police say overall criminal offences are at a 25-year low.
Trump announced the move in an executive order on Monday to rid Memphis of what he called the “tremendous levels of violent crime that have overwhelmed its local government’s ability to respond effectively”.
The executive order did not set out a timeline for when the Memphis task force, which will also include the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the US Marshals Service, will be deployed.
Trump described the task force as a “replica” of his crackdown on Washington, DC, in August, according to the Associated Press news agency, which saw the US president deploy the National Guard on the streets of the US capital.
Trump has pushed for a similar military involvement in policing in Baltimore and Chicago, which, like Memphis and Washington, DC, are Democratic strongholds.
Trump’s Memphis task force has the backing of Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, who joined Trump in the White House for the announcement.
“I have been in office for seven years. I’m tired of crime holding the great city of Memphis back,” Lee said during a signing ceremony.
Memphis’s Democratic mayor, Paul Young, said on X that he did not think deploying the National Guard would drive down crime, but “the decision has been made”.
“Yesterday morning, we learned that the Governor & President have decided to place the National Guard & other resources in Memphis, which they have the authority to do. I want to be clear: I did not ask for the National Guard and I don’t think it is the way to drive down crime,” Young said on X.
Memphis is known globally for its music industry and its historic ties to rock and roll, soul and the blues. Last year, it reported the highest violent crime rate among US cities of 100,000 people or more, according to 2024 FBI crime data.
A review by Al Jazeera of FBI crime statistics found the rate of violent crime – which includes murder, negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault – for Memphis was 2,501 per 100,000 people in 2024. The city was followed by Oakland, California, at 1,925 per 100,000 and Detroit, Michigan, at 1,781 per 100,000 people.
Memphis police, however, say this figure does not paint a full picture of the city’s violent crime situation amid “historic crime reductions” in the first eight months of 2025.
“Overall crime is at a 25-year low, with robbery, burglary, and larceny also reaching 25-year lows. Murder is at a six-year low, aggravated assault at a five-year low, and sexual assault at a twenty-year low,” police said last week.
Despite this decline, the city reported 146 homicides so far in 2025 and 4,308 cases of aggravated assault.

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.

The characters are getting stale. Fuck these movies, death of cinema shit piles.
The Vindication of "Adventurism"
It's very difficult to look at this current era of "the left" and not come to the conclusion that dismissing the importance of any act of violent resistance is ill advised. When I compare this current era to previous eras, the early 1900s, the 1800s lead up to the US Civil War, even the '60s and early '70s, it's striking just how little power "the left" has now, and how neatly that correlates with a huge drop in leftist political violence & sabotage. Even before the rise of the USSR, there was momentum in the west behind workers' movements, embodied not just in political parties and militant labor unions, but also in various other organized groups whose political class interest aligned even if their strategies differed.While there is plenty of debate over the effectiveness of "propaganda of the deed" (a term which is thrown around too liberally), it's actually very difficult to argue that it had a net mitigating effect on the power of the workers' movement in the early 20th century or the abolitionist movement in the 19th century. The expression of class contradiction through workers' violence against slavers, capitalists, landlords, and imperialists, far from damaging the labor or abolitionist movement, reinforced the antagonism between the people and the state. It is more difficult to obfuscate the contradiction between classes in a circumstance where the monopoly on force of the rentier-capitalist class is challenged by workers. If unchallenged, the violence of the state does not diminish, the paranoia of the robber barons does not disappear; rather, their megalomaniacal advance simply continues unchallenged. Even without a real violent challenge to the capitalist status quo, the iron heel still comes down, eager to stomp out even the most reasonable voices of disagreement with the brutal agenda of the state.
It is not that acts of terror against the state are singlehandedly effective revolutionary activity, but I can't help but conclude that these acts were essential to a broader revolutionary movement. A left which totally dismisses or suppresses such actions is merely a punching bag for the state. You can march, you can organize, you can do whatever peaceful, legal things you like… and the state will still vilify and suppress you as though you were a violent criminal. The state will use all its power - propaganda, electoral shenanigans, accusations, censorship - to ensure that you cannot win elections without bending the knee. Once upon a time in the west, this applied mostly just to major national elections; now, in the US, it even applies to the local level.
All the while, the state enacts its own terror against the workers. Its IDF-trained police forces stalk, kill, torture, and rape members of the public to spread fear and intimidation. Its brutal prisons are the most populated in the world, lined with the poor and mentally ill, a massive industrial system which turns small-time offenders into much more serious ones. Its federal agencies spy on the people with total impunity. It traffics drugs internationally and nationally, arming drug gangs and terrorists. It wages genocidal war around the world, and allows individuals from its Zionist terror colony to commit crimes in the US, while devout Zionists commit acts of violence with delayed & minimal reciprocation. It drains communities by offering little to no check on land speculation, and disproportionately taxing the poorest among the public who are also hit by exorbitant, exploitative rents. Its corporate & political elite participate in sex trafficking rings, imprisoning and raping minors for purposes of perverse blackmail.
When people march peaceful, they are gassed. When people try to organize, they are surveilled. The state wages unchecked war against the public, and it is in this context that I cannot take seriously any complaint about so-called "adventurism" - particularly when there is no alternative on offer. By dismissing acts of retaliation against the state perpetually, the armchair left has accomplished nothing - except to suggest, indirectly, that such resistance, organized or not, is simply useless. This suggestion is incorrect; if political violence bore no benefit, then they would not be killing us. They would not beat us, nor gas us, nor wage economic warfare against us. They do all of these things, however, and yet there are still those among us who think it is bad to do even so much damage as to cost them money in repairs!
This line of thought is unconvincing to me.
While revolutionaries like Lenin and Stalin existed in a context rich with workers' political violence, and, as perpetrators of political violence, critiqued other strategies and ideologies, we have no such context today. In effect, when someone today reflexively deems an act of "leftist" political violence to be "adventurism," "ineffective," etc., they aren't doing so from the position of Lenin, they're doing so from the position of Bordiga. They're offering absolutely nothing except condemnation of any militant left activity, condemnation of any directed strike by workers against capital, condemnation of anything except doing nothing; if this condemnation is "doing it right" then they would be better off "doing it wrong." Humanity needs an armed, ruthless proletariat, and every single step towards a honed, militant workers' force is a step in the right direction.
Cloudflare is malicious software
For an entire month now, Cloudflare has been discriminating against alternative web browsers to the Google hegemony by refusing to "verify" them as legitimate browsers through their browser check loop. On some browsers this has been blatantly malicious by designing the loop to hang indefinitely while it rapidly consumes all of the user's memory until a program crash. This has included Palemoon, Librewolf, Waterfox, IceCat, Seamonkey, Falkon, and more. Basically it seems like anything that isn't a subservient Chrome fork or Firefox itself is being gatekept out of the web by Cloudflare. The likelihood that this is being done deliberately is high because a) they have been doing it for an entire month, b) the entire time they have refused to respond to developers reaching out asking them to fix it, and c) Cloudflare themselves have stated that their secret proprietary methods of fingerprinting "human" browsers are tailor-fit to each browser.

UN Assembly Moves to Geneva After U.S. Bars Palestinian Delegation
Sep 2, 2025The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York, following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior officials.
The relocation marks a rare institutional challenge to the host nation and reflects mounting global frustration over Washington’s obstruction of Palestinian participation amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza.
The U.S. State Department justified the visa denial on grounds of “national security,” accusing the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization of “undermining peace efforts” through legal appeals to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
These appeals include formal charges of genocide and apartheid against Israel, claims the U.S. argues breach diplomatic norms and politicize international legal forums.
The decision affects approximately 80 Palestinian officials, although the Palestinian Mission to the UN in New York will continue operating under a limited waiver.
The move has drawn sharp criticism from legal experts and international diplomats, who say it violates the 1947 UN Headquarters Agreement, which obligates the host country to facilitate access for all accredited delegations.
In 1988, the UN relocated its session to Geneva after the U.S. denied a visa to Yasser Arafat, then head of the PLO. The current relocation is similarly aimed at ensuring full Palestinian participation, particularly in a scheduled September 22 segment dedicated to Palestinian rights.
European leaders have condemned the U.S. decision. Spain’s Prime Minister described the move as “unjust,” while France reaffirmed that UN platforms must remain accessible to all recognized delegations.
The Geneva session also coincides with growing momentum among several countries, including France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, to formally recognize Palestinian statehood, adding diplomatic weight to the proceedings.
Palestinian officials have denounced the U.S. action as a deliberate attempt to silence their voice at a time when Gaza faces mass displacement, starvation, and what UN experts have described as genocidal violence.
President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva, where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty, and accountability for war crimes.
The Geneva session is expected to amplify calls for action under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, which empowers the General Assembly to recommend collective measures when the Security Council is unable to act due to political obstruction or lack of consensus.
Advocacy groups are urging the UN to consider deploying international protection forces to Gaza and to suspend Israel’s privileges within the UN system until humanitarian access is restored.
Beyond its logistical implications, the relocation signals a deeper shift in global diplomacy, where procedural justice and international law are being reasserted against political obstruction.
The Geneva gathering is expected to draw high-level delegations, legal experts, and civil society leaders, all converging to confront the worsening crisis and to chart a path forward for Palestinian self-determination.

5 (or 7?) Shot At The US’s Fort Stewart Military Base In Georgia
Alleged gunman at Army's Fort Stewart was a sergeant who shot 5 coworkersA sergeant opened fire on his coworkers Wednesday at Fort Stewart, an Army installation in southeast Georgia, leaving five soldiers injured, but in stable condition, according to Army officials.
At a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division, identified the suspect as Sgt. Quornelius Radford, who worked in automated logistics. The victims were Radford's coworkers and he used a personal handgun, according to Lubas. He added that Radford has not previously been deployed to a combat zone.
Lubas said several soldiers who witnessed the shooting, "immediately and without hesitation," tackled the shooter and subdued him, allowing law enforcement to take him into custody. The suspect has been interviewed by Army investigators and charges will be determined later.
Lubas says three of the soldiers required surgeries but all five victims were expected to recover. Their families have also been notified.
Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area at 10:56 a.m. local time and the shooter was apprehended at 11:35 a.m, Fort Stewart said in a post on Facebook. The Army installation, about 40 miles from the city of Savannah, was temporarily on lockdown.
Earlier on Wednesday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp released a statement on X saying he and his family were saddened by the violence.
"We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same," he wrote.

On August 22nd, 2025, a massive explosion at Smitty’s Supply in Roseland—a small town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. Many of Roseland's 880 residents were evacuated as smoke blackened their homes and roads, and oil seeped into their water ways for miles. As of August 25th, 2025, Tangipahoa Parish authorities told residents they could return home, while many questions surround this explosion and their safety remains unanswered.Status Coup spoke with Louisiana Bucket Brigade's Director Anne Rolfes to help shed more light on this largely ignored crisis.
The Chabad tunnel was a botched false flag attempt to kick off a US war with Iran
Before the current war with Iran resumes with full fury, I want to get something off my chest.Over a year ago, I privately related this thought I had to an acquaintance. Since that time, it has become more than a thought to me. I now believe it is probably likely that the January 2024 Chabad tunnel incident was an attempted false flag which was discovered and thwarted before it could be completed. Until now, I have never said this publicly to anyone, even anonymously, and I have never looked into others ""theories"" about this incident because I am not interested in reading speculation. I have no idea whether or not anyone else has come to the same conclusion. I would not be surprised if they had done so, as it seems like an obvious suspicion to have, but I have never been interested in finding out.
In January of 2024, a number of Israeli citizens were caught digging a tunnel under the World Headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in New York City, a large synagogue. When the tunnel was discovered, concrete trucks were called to fill it in, as the tunnel created a serious risk to the foundation of the structure. Fights broke out, the police were called, and arrests were made. The explanation given through the confusion, which I initially believed, was that this was an attempt to illegally expand the building - and these being Israelis, that is not an unbelievable explanation by any means. However, since then, I have come to the belief that the real motivation of this project, which must have taken a great deal of very secretive effort, was to destroy the building with people inside and blame it on Iran.
Israel having universal conscription, it is fairly safe to say that these young men were IDF in some capacity. The Israeli MIC has a long history of false flag attacks, including the Lavon Affair in Egypt and the attack on the American USS Liberty in 1967. Whether or not the Mossad bore any involvement in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, it is a matter of public record that Netanyahu believed that attack was beneficial to Israeli interests, and he eagerly encouraged US wars in western Asia even against Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. It is also known that the IDF fired on its own people on October 7, 2023, with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant later admitting that the Hannibal Directive was issued.
I believe that these Israelis dug this tunnel in order to either plant charges or allow the synagogue to collapse. I doubt that most of the regulars at the synagogue were aware of this, and I think that these men, in the employ of the IDF, intended to kill a great many of them. This mass-casualty event in the middle of New York City would then, without any real evidence, be blamed on Iran and compared to 9/11 - the US, then under president Joe Biden, would have immediately launched an ill-conceived war of aggression against Iran using the (fake) Chabad attack as a pretext. In the US, massive crackdowns against "anti-semitism" would have dwarfed even the mass-arrests and suppression which the US gov't has pursued since 2023, with opponents of the stupid, suicidal war with Iran being labeled as "Nazis."
If this indeed was the intention, then it's fortunate that it was not allowed to take place. I don't know whether the person who reported the tunnel was aware of the entire plot or simply called out of concern for the foundations. It's not unlikely that they were themselves a regular at the synagogue, but it's not impossible that they weren't, either. Even if they knew about the motivations, or had the same suspicion that I do, I doubt that they would have wanted to alert the country to something like this, which could, genuinely, have had unironic adverse effects for the Jewish population.
As for the stained mattresses, the high chair, etc.; while they were disturbing images, it's difficult to determine what exactly their significance was. I'm not really interested in speculating along those lines, because the possibility that the Israeli military planned to launch a false flag attack in the US seems more significant and politically plausible given their history and current behavior. Whether or not there was some other creepy stuff going on in light of that doesn't really concern me very much, particularly because Israelis already seem to do rapes so often as it is; by contrast, they at least bother to take a breath between committing false flag terror attacks.
I don't believe the world will ever know if this is true, but it would be interesting if leaks were to come out about it linking this incident to Israeli military or espionage operations. Regardless, the US and Israel now frantically look for excuses, increasingly flimsy, to launch further aggressions against Iran, and these pretexts are remarkably poor.

You need to organize an army. You need to do it now.
Read about what the IRA and Spear of the Nation did in their homelands. Read about the Viet Minh and how they were formed. Read Clausewitz and Diem.You have to start somewhere. Never forget, Castro had 60 fighters on the Granma. Spear of the Nation was five people at first. The Viet Minh had fewer than 500 members for years. The IRA probably never had more than 1000 at a time.

hoe_math
If you aren't familiar with the hoe-math content creator look him up. He makes good videos about the collapse of society due to hypergamy, but, none the less he leaves out capitalist in his analysis. What are our thoughts on such things? Like I believe that we need rules in society and such. But I also thinkt hat capitalism more than anything drives the collapse of society because profits are above all else. Like women walking around hoeing right now chasing 10s is because capitalism and the profit motive have perverted our society to the point it is at now. Liberalism leaves out a critique of capitalism in its analysis as does reactionism. Thoughts? Did china get it right?
Why is the left suddenly pro-Copyright/IP?
Why has so much of the left recently become such fucking puritanical pro-Copyright fags to an absolutely insane level?From the Anti-AI movement pushing that anybody using AI is "stealing" from fucking slop artists on deviantart, to people whining about "plagerism" because someone has a similar thought to them and they weren't credited. What the fuck is going on?
You have leftists cheering on bills to literally EXPAND COPYRIGHT and IP restrictions. It's fucking bonkers.
I've been arguing with leftists recently who are saying by using AI, I'm "stealing" from creative artisans… and? How is this different from me streaming a show from a non-official streaming site, or pirating a game? Why should I care? What is wrong about democratising the creation of art, or even commodities? Should leftists celebrate the driving of value to 0?

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

Videos from the Carrefour branch in La Marsa, a seaside suburb of the capital Tunis, showed demonstrators bloodied and dragged across the floor by the store's guards after they tried to storm the store on Saturday 30 August. Some were later carried to hospitals, according to the boycott campaign, which said several of its activists suffered fractures. "This was a peaceful, civic, anti-Zionist protest. We hold the authorities responsible for the consequences of this assault," said Jawaher Channa, a spokesperson for the Carrefour boycott campaign.

Protests began a week ago against the government's spending priorities, such as enhanced perks for lawmakers, and escalated into rioting and looting after a police vehicle hit and killed a motorcycle taxi driver. The homes of political party members, including the finance minister, were looted and state buildings ransacked or set ablaze, in the biggest challenge to President Prabowo Subianto's government since he took office nearly a year ago.

Bihar SIR: 3 Lakh Voters Served ‘Doubtful Citizen’ Notices by Election Commission
For the first time in decades, the revision is not merely checking age, address, or duplication — it requires proof of Indian citizenship, especially for those enrolled after 2003 or born after July 1, 1987. The verification exercise has flagged individuals despite holding multiple valid Indian IDs like Aadhaar, ration cards, and domicile certificates. However, citizenship status, not document possession, is now the core criterion. Some individuals have been labelled as suspected nationals of Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, or Afghanistan based on undocumented suspicions or familial ties.

the world run on looks. everybody listen to me, i swear it's important
the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.
now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.
As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.
In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.
we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

Trump orders Hegseth to form National Guard unit in each state to combat crime, protests
President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the National Guard in each state to create a quick-response force to quell protests and deter crime after using troops to assist with security during immigration protests in Los Angeles and patrol in Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on crime.He said other cities, specifically Chicago, should be asking him for help.
“I think we should really let them have their city, let their city go to hell” and then they will ask us for help, Trump told reporters at the White House during a news conference announcing several executive orders.
“These people [troops and federal law enforcement], eventually, they’re going to have to be appreciated for what they are doing, and they’re going to have to be appreciated by the officials that are really happy when we go in because they’ve lost control of their place,” he said.
The executive order about the National Guard signed Monday calls on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to oversee “each state’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized and available to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law.”
Each state should find an appropriate number of troops to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization and have the resources and training needed to serve nationwide, according to the order titled, “Additional Measures to Address the Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.”
More than a week ago, Trump deployed 2,000 troops from the D.C. National Guard and six supporting states onto the streets of the nation’s capital to stop what he has referred to as an emergency crime wave. However, D.C. police data stated violent crime is down in the city by 26% compared with last year — which had the lowest levels of violent crimes in 30 years.
Since Guard troops have been on patrol in Washington, there have been no killings in the city, Trump said.
The deployment was seen by some as a test for sending the military into other large U.S. cities, which typically lean Democratic. Trump said he’s considering plans to use Guard troops to target crime in Chicago. He said Monday that he has not reached a decision.
“We may just go in and do it, which is probably what we should do,” he said. “The problem is, it’s not nice when you go in and do it, and somebody else is standing there saying, as we give great results, say, ‘Well, we don’t want the military.’ ”
Chicago, too, has seen lower levels of violent crime in 2025, according to its police department.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Saturday that the state has worked with federal law enforcement in the past, and there is no emergency now that warrants sending in the National Guard or other military troops.
“Donald Trump’s threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn’t about safety — it’s a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state,” he said.
Two months ago, Trump activated more than 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 Marines stationed within the state to deploy to Los Angeles where immigration protests followed a series of raids by federal agents on area businesses to find people living in the U.S. without authorization. The majority of those troops have since returned home, but they primarily worked to protect federal property and personnel, including federal agents conducting immigration arrests.
In L.A. and D.C., local officials did not support the deployment of troops. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit arguing the deployment was illegal. It is ongoing in federal court.
Military troops are barred from conducting domestic law enforcement activities based on an 1878 law known as the Posse Comitatus Act. However, troops have been used in recent years for crowd control during protests.

Did the Bernie Sanders thing actually accomplish anything?
The minimum wage increases ($15 now campaigns etc) started way before Sanders and were almost entirely kickstarted on the group by orgs like Socialist Alternative Party and Working Families Party.Pretty much nothing else Sanders wanted has come to fruition and minimum wage increases happen in many states without public pressure anyway. Hell, even George Bush raised the minimum wage.
Instead what we got was a two time primary loser, and a two time billionaire as president, exactly what he didn't want.
I attended a few Bernie campaign meetings and it was very depressing. Mostly super old Democrats pushing 50+ mulling about and doing nothing. They'd hire a college student wanting debt relief, who in turn would bring in a few more college students to do phone banking. The social atmosphere of the campaign was dismal and there was no excitement.
Immediately after Sanders would lose and election, my local Sanders campaign office became a de facto Clinton campaign office. The upper class phone bankers who came for a bit of student debt relief were then ordered to start making calls for Clinton.
Both campaigns basically funnelled people into Clinton and Harris' campaign, the latter of which was the most right-wing Democratic campaign I've seen since Gore. She punched left and down, ran ads against even the smallest competitive left-wing electoral organization, and promoted a bill that defined "affordable housing" as $400,000.
The only organizational remnant of his effort weren't intention. The DSA seems to have benefited the most, seeing a 16x increase in membership over years. Even a cursory look at the organization shows a highly dysfunctional group of former Tumblr users who have no idea why they are there or what they want. Because they aren't a party, they just bicker about who to endorse all day, and now most of their alliances in state legislative bodies and Congress or either gone or dying.
Lastly, the Socialist Parties that do run their own candidates ran into larger non-socialist parties and there's probably only like a few hundred people in actual socialist parties nowadays.
He decimated the American left. I've never lived in a more right-wing era.

The US Socialist Party hasn't won a single partisan election since their reformation in 1973
For those who don't know. And I guess most don't know since this board is like 'lmao weed' gen 'zer former 4channers, America used to have a Socialist Party that won partisan elections on their own ballot line.This included two Congressmen in the early 20th century.
The party eventually committed suicide for many different reasons, after a slow decline in success, and those committed to continuing to run candidates formed SPUSA or Socialist Party USA.
While those familiar with SPUSA today may consider it among a basket of small socialist parties, for decades, the media used "Socialist Party" interchangeably to refer to SPUSA exclusively, mostly for historical reasons.
Their electoral history since their refounding in the early 1970s is dismal. Since then, they haven't won a single partisan race. Each time they won a local seat, which hasn't been more than 12 times ever, their party name wasn't on the ballot cuz it was for some school board or some shit.
tl;dr NO ONE is electing socialists under a true socialist party banner and haven't since at least the 1970s.
It's a political failure, and the whole socialist label is clearly a curse.

<A day later, the part-timer sent a text message saying, “I’m sorry for quitting without notice. I wasn’t feeling well and don’t think I can continue working.” They added, “I know it's shameless, but I’d like to ask for the 300,000 KRW (approx. 220 USD) in unpaid wages from the past three weeks. 100,000 KRW per week.”

Homosexuals were created as part of government depopulation experiments during or before WWIII
Homosexuals are either poisoned or controlled by their governments using many infamous methods of manipulation.They are ignorant men given the illusion of having sex with other men, used to elevate femininity levels. Homosexuality is not normal and should be considered a fetish. A very gross fetish. Men having sex with other men is unnatural. Here are some statistics to support my claims:Homosexuals comprise:
3% of the U.S. population
55% of HIV carriers
82% of syphilis cases
20% of HBV cases
37% of anal cancer cases
78% have had an STD
‘…portray gays as victims of circumstance and oppression, not as aggressive challengers… Gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection, so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protectors.’
— Marshall Kirk & Hunter Madsen, After the Ball
I wanted to keep this article short to clarify why homosexuality is a disgusting, fabricated myth. It’s a fetish that deserves no validation. The government and the New World Order promote the homosexual agenda—also called depopulation—and try to force everyone to accept it.
I struggled to write this because my words kept being altered. The Captitalist World Order clearly doesn’t enjoy me writing such things. They ‘corrected’ my truths about homosexuality to make them positive. They’re definitely watching me

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

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

Multiple reporters told the Committee to Protect Journalists that troops have arrested, injured and fired live rounds at media workers in the southern province of Quneitra, much of which was seized by Israeli forces late last year. Israel invaded southern Syria following the ouster of the Assad regime in December, capturing hundreds of square-kilometres of Syrian land in what it says is an indefinite occupation.

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

Petro’s initial response was an invitation to the US and Venezuela to work together and to coordinate actions against drug cartels. He emphasized that violence would not be the key to overcoming drug cartels. And that decriminalization efforts and economic integration of left-out groups, such as the peasantry and indigenous groups, would be more effective. The president also critiqued the bounty put on Maduro, saying that: “I don’t believe that the solution to Venezuela’s political problems lies in paying to kill or capture political leaders.”

Share your experiences dating women overseas here. Positive or negative. As well as any tips or knowledge you can in part on new passport bros.
FAQ:
Q: What is a passport bro?
A: A passport bro is a man generally from the US who goes overseas and dates female foreign nationals. And eschew dating women in the U.S.
>Why would a man not date women locally in the US? Are they losers?
Passport Bros have a variety of reasons for dating outside the the US but it is primarily because Passport Bros feel that US women are either too demanding, abrasive or aren't interested in them.
Many critics of Passport Bros do accuse them of being losers and unable to get dates from their fellow country people. And that the women overseas are only interested in their money or getting US citizenship. Or that they are from non western cultures that lack feminist values and don't comprehend that they are being preyed on.
Passport Bro proponents say that this accusation is Western chauvinism and casually racist. And that there's nothing especially enlightened about US women.
Q: Why are they called Passport Bros?
The term was originally coined several years ago by black men online that traveled overseas for the express purpose of finding partners. Although it has come to encompass any man that travels overseas for any romantic purpose including sex tourism.
The Proletariat’s Cumback: Seizing the Bourgeoisie’s Throbbing Means of Reproduction
collectivize that pussy—wrenching the means of production from the limp-dick capitalist pigs and redistributing that gash to the starving masses. Let the bourgeoisie choke on the dialectical dick of history as we skull-fuck their decadent ‘legacy’ into oblivion. Their wives? Communal property. Their daughters? Revolutionary comrades. Their sons? Bottom bitches for the vanguard. Every orgasm is a Molotov; every moan, a manifesto.
Class society and prison are the same.
In both situations you are stripped of your freedom and dignity. You are told exactly what you must do, and you are punished for failing to comply. Actually, in class society you must spend more time doing exactly what you are told to do than is true in adult prisons, so in that sense class society is worse than prisontalking to kids at school I thought I was odd for thinking that since no one else seemed to mind school as much as I did.There really isn't any personal benefit to schooling beyond middle school for most people. Almost no one does more than elementary math/reading/writing in their job. Why children also make very good laborers. Most labor doesn't involve that much skill or thinking.
But still worth maybe keeping a few years of school beyond elementary to teach critical thinking skills, which are sorely lacking in the USA, plus some basic computer skills, which are way more beneficial than almost everything you learn after elementary school.Not only is school prison I think real life has come to reflect the drab boringness of the prison construct. Every architectural design choice in modern society looks like it was hand crafted by the pixies ceos from the fairly odd parents so that's its as boring and unintrusive as possible. It's all just monotone boring colors next to Grey back drops. Just like prison.
But later I thought about the prison analogy again and it made even more sense: it's authoritarian, promotes individualism (no collaborating on assignments, that's CHEATING), uses negative reinforcement (punishment) to teach, and the whole thing is set up as obedience training for being a wage cuck later in life without really the option to leave.

i am anti communist. I am anti European man marx, Englels and lenin.
They were real western devils. They were so cunning they managed to convince Chinese people to hurt other Chinese and themselves unwittingly.If you want to be pro china be pro chinese culture. Love our family, love our heritage, love our history. This Communism was a european homeless man's, Marx invention designed to seperate us from the chinese culture and ethics..
What is Chinese culture we love so much? Chinese culture tells us to honor parents and ancestors. To love our family. To love our parents. To go to ancestor grave in the mountain to bai shan. Marxist came in and brainwashed an entire generation to burn our ancestral tree and told us that the party is dearer than parents.
Chinese culture tells us to respect our history. Marxist came in and burned everythign and smashed everything. Lots of chinese people support CPC because they have loyalty to China and CPC merged its identity with China. But CPC has to fundamentally change its ideology and leave this marxist root behind and really promote the chinese culture.
Also Lots of these creepy white people support Chinese communist because it is a form of red imperialism,. They are asocial and unhappy living in Australia or wherever the fuck they crawl from. So they can claim they are communist to share credit for China's success. "it is not chinese people that made china rich today, it is marx." I mean, you don't feel uncomfortable when there is a white man marx in the congress that the chinese president bow to? or the white man marx in a tv show "marx met confucius" hugging our chinese confucius like they are the same level? It is abomination.

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

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

According to reports, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is strongly opposed to such a move and has even threatened to resign. If these reports are true, the importance of this moment is difficult to overstate.

Hamburg dockworker demands union action against genocide in Gaza
Mohammed Alattar, who has lost 80 family members in the Gaza massacre, writes in a petition addressed to Verdi that he approached the union leadership with his story and asked what the union was doing in answer. He described the response with anger: “Nothing came back, no chance. Only complete ignorance and silence.” This disregard for the suffering and catastrophe in Gaza, Alattar writes, “reflects the same disregard and isolation that Jewish people in Germany experienced 80 years ago.”

About 300 migrants start walk north from southern Mexico
The group of migrants that left Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, was small in comparison to migrant caravans in years past. There has been very little movement of migrants in public since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January, though migration numbers had been falling even prior to that. Those walking Wednesday said their goal was not to reach the United States, but rather central Mexico. They complained that they had been waiting for months to legalize their status or receive asylum.

Brazil: Opposition lawmakers stay the night in Congress
The opposition was demanding a general and unrestricted amnesty for those convicted of attempting a coup d'état, in addition to De Moraes' impeachment. The magistrate is the rapporteur for the case against Bolsonaro, who is accused of leading an attempt to annul the 2022 presidential elections by putting pressure on military commanders. The complaint also points to plans to assassinate and arrest public officials. Bolsonaro and the others under investigation deny the accusations.

Rwanda agrees to take deportees from the US after a previous migrant deal with the UK collapsed
Rwandan government spokesperson Yolande Makolo told The Associated Press in a statement that the East African country would accept up to 250 deportees from the U.S., with “the ability to approve each individual proposed for resettlement” under the agreement. Makolo didn’t provide a timeline for any deportees to arrive in Rwanda or say if they would arrive at once or in several batches. She said details were still being worked out. The State Department said the U.S. “works with Rwanda on a range of mutual priorities” but wouldn’t comment on details of the deportation deal and what it called diplomatic conversations with other governments.

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

The importance of games in politics
For years and years the debate has raged over whether video games qualify as art, and as ridiculous as that debate is there's one undeniable aspect of it: video games have ideological content.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TycfDgg4acY
For that reason this thread should be used to approach games from a political standpoint with their political content in mind. The only thing to keep in mind here is that YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT GAMERGATE.
Here's a big list of video games with left wing content to help discussion get going:
the degenerate existence of modern city dwellers
Am i the only one who thinks life in a city is absolutely terrible. Most people don't even know how bad it is until they finally leave. I mean everywhere i go there are always people. An overpopulation of them a infestation if you will digging giant cave systems out of a dying land, few animals or plants you will find there are being smoked out domesticated or are just sick and dying or already lie dead rotten on a cold stone surface.it feels so dystopian its unreal. The first thing i WILL do when i get the chance is leave and live in some forest hut or on the outskirts of a very small village like a hermit. Living WITH nature instead of competing it or beating it like a pulp
Becoming less and less dependent on other people or the intergovernmental institutions since long term they are not sustainable and will always fail. If you are wondering why you always feel like soy, why your material goods or shiny clothes feel hollow or empty, why feel like just a cog in the machine wasting away for someone else's burning material desire, here is your answer… you live in the city
This place is depressing
This site is really depressing, its users are depressing, and in general everything is bad here. I think this makes men who do not have sexual relations, nor who focus on succubi, look bad, since the first thing someone outside will read will be threads of misfortune and misery. So I ask you, have you never tried to improve and improve?
holographic communication
In the early 20th century armies used search lights to find airplanes in the sky. They sometimes fitted shutters on these lights and used them for Morse-code. The light was pointed at the sky, sometimes at clouds. That enable transmitting "blinky-messages" beyond line of sight over significant distances. Armies eventually abandoned this method of communication for radios.But there might be cause to bring this idea back. Science has advanced quite a lot in the last 100 years and we can use light to make tiny low power plasma bubbles in the air that emit brief light pulses. Enabling over the horizon optical communication with minimal to no infrastructure costs.
Imagine projecting a tiny holographic blinking dot of light in the sky to transmit information and a photodetector+optic to receive information.
A communication link is configured in 3D space.
-The upside is that the available volume of sky is functionally unlimited, and you never again have to deal with network-collisions and interference from communication signals of others.
-The Downside, it requires a good deal of precision in mechanical systems, so it'll be fiddly for a while. Picture using Binoculars to look at a firefly floating high up in the sky, you need to get up-down, left-right and focal distance just right to see it. There is a technology upgrade path to a solid-state chip version, that works similarly to matrix array antennas, It needs Terra-hertz switching logic, which requires photon-based micro-controller (it exists but it's very bleeding edge)
The range can be tremendous, there is enough gas molecules in the stratosphere to make this work. It will enable hops over the ocean with a small number of relay buoys.
The military might want this technology because
- it's harder to triangulate the origin of a transmission (you need to intersect the light-beam, to find the source), relay-transmitter-stations, soldiers, planes and ships will suffer fewer attacks from signal homing weapons, making it very robust.
- it's very hard to jam, (you need to flood the sky with very thick smoke, usually associated with forest-fires and volcano eruptions)
Consumers might want this technology because
- the patent for making plasma bubbles ran out, so lots of companies would be competing on price and quality.
- no natural monopolies, same benefit as above.
- might be a fun hobby toy for radio-enthusiast type people.
Technically this seems very feasible, but the current political climate for communications-tech is a minefield.
I'm a little light on theory, will a different communication technology change the political climate, or does political climate need to improve to make a new technology happen ?
The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
A lot has been made of the weirdness surrounding the JFK assassination in 1963, but I've realized over the past year that there are a lot of weird details surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln which are not that well known. I genuinely don't know where exactly to talk about this stuff, because it's just kind of bizarre.Firstly, let's talk about Simon Wolf. Simon Wolf was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. Simon Wolf was also a prominent Freemason, whose chapter gave allegiance to the Charleston, SC Masonic lodge of one Albert Pike. Albert Pike was a Confederate general and preeminent Freemason, whose official title was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction from 1859 to 1891, and who was also involved with the Knights of the Golden Circle and, allegedly, the Ku Klux Klan.
Simon Wolf was a prominent member of the Jewish fraternal order the B'nai B'rith, and he would eventually become its president. Before that, he was a close personal friend of the actor John Wilkes Booth, and met with John Wilkes Booth "for drinks" on the morning of April 14, 2025. This little-known fact is detailed in Simon Wolf's 1918 autobiography The Presidents I Have Known: From 1860-1918, from which one of the attached pages was drawn. During the war, Simon Wolf was once arrested by the U.S. gov't as an operative of an enemy organization, a spy for the Confederacy. Some other odd details are outlined in the 2nd attached page, drawn from an Executive Intelligence Review article from May of 1993. I was skeptical when I first saw it, but the article is well-researched and led me directly to the autobiography, a source I had to consult directly just to authenticate what I had read in the article, whose contents I found odd.
After the assassination and the death of John Wilkes Booth, Lafayette C. Baker, the investigator who had charged Simon Wolf with Confederate espionage during the war, announced that he had had John Wilkes Booth's diary. Baker accused Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War, of suppressing the diary's release. When it was released, Baker claimed that 18 vital pages had been removed.
Another odd aspect is in the circumstances of the death of John Wilkes Booth. Booth was ultimately killed while hiding in a barn by a mentally ill street preacher who had castrated himself with a pair of scissors in order to suppress sexual urges. That man, Boston Corbett of the 16th New York Cavalry Regiment, was later institutionalized in 1887 and ultimately vanished after escaping the asylum in 1888. It's unclear if there was a chance of catching John Wilkes Booth alive, and most of Booth's co-conspirators, who have largely drifted into obscurity, would captured and formally be executed. One of these co-conspirators, Lewis Powell, was given a legal defense which presumed his guilt. Eventually the defense argued that Powell, who could not remember his age or the country of his birth, was insane, a claim which was supported by the prison guards who had been put in charge of watching him after his capture. However, it was rejected by the prosecution and Powell was hanged alongside the other co-conspirators.
Weird, huh? There's a little bit more!

Uruguayan public sector unions call nationwide strike over inadequate wage proposalUruguay’s Confederation of State Employees' Organizations (COFE) announced a 24-hour nationwide strike on August 12, rejecting the government’s proposed wage adjustment for public sector workers. The decision was unanimously approved during a national assembly attended by over 35 unions. In an official statement, COFE described the government’s offer as “absolutely insufficient,” arguing it lacks any real wage growth, fails to address the lowest-paid workers, and does not guarantee the current purchasing power of salaries.

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

/CitK/ - Crisis in the Kremlin General
Comrades, it's that time again: Lenin is young and October lies ahead!Time for a Crisis in the Kremlin game thread like in the good old days. We'll be playing on 'Realism' difficulty and starting at the earliest bookmark, 1985!
And so comrades, take your seats as members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, take up flags, or namefag if you like, for some degree of recognisability when tallying votes and take up the burden of the collective leadership as it is time for you to elect our new General Secretary following the unfortunate passing of Comrade Chernenko.
Your candidates are as follows:
-The young protege of Andropov and stalwart, Comrade Grigory Romanov
-The young up and coming reformist, Comrade Gorbachev
-The trusted Brezhnevite centrist, Comrade Grishin
-The party grandee and diplomatic excellency, Comrade Gromyko
-or perhaps the a previously unknown black horse from the party rank will secure the Central Committee's confidence?
Comrades of the Central Committee, the future of the Party, the Union, the Socialist Camp and the Human Race itself is in your hands!
only about 20% of women are total gold digging whores.
You cannot simply buy the majority of women. Which should be a relief to some of you.So yeah maybe 1 out 3 women are gold diggers or whores, but that means 2 out of 3 aernt.
In other words nice girls outnumber whores and gold diggers 2 to 1.
And no matter how much money exists, womens sex drive is really amazing at sniffing out good genes it's very primal. Looks actually matter to women way more than men think.
Hollywood cult scandals
Is destabilization the goal, or a side effect of greed? Women, drawn to authority figures, listen to the priest over their husbands, and vice versa. Society has grown comfortable with painting men as evil and essentially trying to outlaw masculinity. Now that religion has faded in the West, other tools divide men and women to prevent strong bonds.They believe they should rule the world, have slaves, and so on. Nietzsche noted that religion broke the male/female bond by inserting a perverted charlatan (a priest) between them. Hollywood scandals, repeated by the same cult members since the beginning of showbiz, reveal these people as predators. Boys growing up in this world are absolutely fucked.
This is a control tactic: pit people against each other, make them worship strangers, push them toward degradation. Their efforts to destabilize society have been effective. I believe it's part of a media conspiracy. I have always been wary of the religious cult, a hate group that runs the media and much of the US.
I hate the "incels" trend
For those who don't know this, an "incel" (Alana, 1997) is someone who does not want to be celibate but is anyway, so involuntarily celibate, "incel". Later this was taken over by men and shifted to "crab" by 2000s.The media use of the term has now come to mean anyone who sees the world through an "crab" pov of people who can get sex vs. people who cannot. So now there are two definitions.
I hate this word so much now that people have started to refer to it IRL. Even the people who can barely speak English have picked up on it.
It is such a female centric word and places all male value on their relationship status and their perceived relationship with female as a whole. It's erased all of the non-sex oriented men's subcultures and communities like nerds, geeks and wizards. The split definition "people who cannot get sex" vs. "subculture of people who believe in incel" now includes every male only community.
I hate erasure and fucking fake stories. I don't care about doing performative shit for "normies". I work, that's fucking enough, leave me alone!
idk if this is the right board but
how do i overcome laziness / procrastination? please

How does the left justify it's defense of rape gangs?
How does the left reckon with the fact that Leftists called this a "racist nazi conspiracy theory" for decades, and defended and frankly elements of the left, even protected the rapists and pedophiles, from justice, for a long time?Now we have evidence of these gangs stretching back decades, arguably to the 1960s. Countless rapes, some estimates over a million, and the left was just like "nah it's racist bullshit by gammon reactionaries and conservative police".
The left has tried to deflect so much from the fact that yes, the left actually did spend decades, protecting rape gangs, because it looked bad from an identity politics/open borders perspective.
I remember myself being part of leftist orgs, and people downplaying this as some bullshit nazi conspiracy…and now it's true, there is just a deafining silence on it.

As a Leftist, this is just another in the pile of the Left putting optics of inane shitlib positions, over materialist reality and it blowing up in our fucking faces like it does every time. Were we really that fucking up our own asses that we shouted down fucking working class victims of RAPE because it looked bad for fucking "Diversity is strength, open borders now" shitlib bullshit?
Of course, .org literally bans any discussion on these topics immediately, because they are a bunch of antisocial fucktards who's driving force is to make life worse for everyone out of spite, but I know people here are much more willing to discuss these issues. So what went so fucking wrong with the lefts response to this, and what can the left do to not make similar mistakes in the future?
Honestly? Just quit this place.
I'm serious. Just quit this place. /leftypol/ is basically a board for ideologically incoherent incels and schizos who take pride in how abrasive and alienating they are. Most of the userbase here aren't really communists, socialists or anarchists in any meaningful sense, they're just illiterate losers who wanna LARP on the internet as Tim Curry in Command and Conquer while wondering while they aren't getting sex.
So, give 'em what they want, and leave them with a dead board because nobody wants to talk to them. I went nearly a month without posting here, and when I came back, the quality of posting managed to get even worse.
Rest of you wanna know why this place is dying? Look in them mirror. Nobody wants to put up with abrasive schizoposters when they can have an actual conversation somewhere else.

Films You Just Watched Thread
Hello, the most recent movie threads have seemed a bit unfocused, this thread is for the discussion of movies we just watched and other anon's takes on them. So, without further ado I'll begin.I just watched Parasite last night, it was pretty good I think, but not as cutting edge or witty as I was expecting. I thought it was a bit unfocused and threw a lot at the wall to see what stuck, but on the other hand, it was fun and more interesting than most. A solid 8/10.
I do an IMDB rating for each film I watch, for my own reference mostly, but you can see each film I watched lately and my rating if you're curious or want to ask about them. If other anons have something similar feel free to post.
