Attempt to overturn the Gambia’s ban on FGM heard by supreme court
The court case, due to resume this month, comes after two babies bled to death after undergoing FGM in the Gambia last year. Almameh Gibba, an MP and one of the plaintiffs, tabled a bill to decriminalise FGM that was rejected by the country’s parliament in 2024. Activists and lawyers see this as the latest move in a backlash against women’s rights that is eroding gender protections across the world.

Palestine Thread Pt. X

Continued from >>490646

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 70,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Italian workers' unions launched a massive general strike in October over the shipping of weapons through Italian ports which are being used in Israel's genocide, and launched another strike in November.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire. In October 2025, another ceasefire and prisoner exchange was agreed upon in Gaza, and Israel has proceeded to kill over 300 Palestinians in Gaza since agreeing. Israel has also refused to allow the agreed-upon amount of aid into Gaza.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups 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.

The US mercenary front called the GHF has reportedly disbanded.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 1000 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. Israel again returned to bombing Beirut in November.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel has since attacked and continued to occupy Syria with no retaliation, as well as abducting and displacing Syrian citizens while the Syrian government targets only Syrians and Lebanon.

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 invited Yoav Gallant to the White House, and the Trump administration invited Netanyahu to the White House multiple times.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank.

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.

Following the October agreement in Gaza, Yemeni Ansar Allah attacks in solidarity with Gaza have temporarily ceased.

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, and continued for months over people holding placards.

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 the Global Sumud Flotilla boats, abducting their crews in Palestinian waters and subjecting many to torture.

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.

Israel's former top military lawyer, major general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi was arrested by Israel after leaking a video of the IDF gang raping Palestinian detainees, which was seen by the Israeli state as bad PR.

And much, much more!

“Ivan Mordisco” calls on Colombia’s guerrilla groups to unite against “the interventionist eagle”
Since the creation of the EMC, Mordisco’s guerrillas and the ELN have been vying for control over the border with Venezuela, and have become active in clandestine mining activities in the southern jungles of the neighboring country. The groups have tried to bridge divisions on multiple occasions, but have yet to forge a united front that would allow them to overthrow the State. President Gustavo Petro has accused the guerrilla group of having abandoned their revolutionary principles for financial gains.

This surge is the direct outcome of the National Party-led government’s brutal austerity measures, designed to make the working class pay for the deepening economic crisis and to divert more public money to the military to prepare for war.

ICE agent shoots and kills woman during Minneapolis immigration raid

From AJ:
One ‍person is dead after an ICE officer on a large-scale ⁠immigration operation ​in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman who allegedly “weaponized” ⁠her vehicle.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle on Wednesday in a residential neighbourhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

…

Mayor Jacob Frey alleged the officer “recklessly” shot her, adding immigration agents are “causing chaos in our city”.

“They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people,” Frey said at a news conference.

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defence. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bulls**t,” the mayor said.

The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major American cities under the Trump administration.

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul have been on edge since DHS announced on Tuesday it launched the operation with 2,000 agents and officers expected to participate in the crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.

A large throng of protesters gathered at the scene after Wednesday’s shooting and vented their anger at the local and federal officers there.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” and “ICE out of Minnesota!”, they loudly chanted from behind the police tape.

The area where the shooting occurred is a modest neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets in the area and 1.6km (1 mile) from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020.

Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reported Minnesota Public Radio quoted a witness saying: “ICE agents were telling the driver, a woman, to get out of here. She was trying to turn around and the ICE agent was in front of the car and he pulled out a gun.”

The witness said “he [an agent] reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face, like three or four times”. The woman’s vehicle then accelerated and travelled about 30 metres (100 feet) before crashing into a utility pole.

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 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.

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.”

Why did Australia not have a Communist movement like most of SEA did? Why were Thailand and Malaysia able to resist Communists?
Was the region of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia the primary red corridor? What happens in Indonesia? I know Suharto murdered communists, but nothing more. Are there regions with more Communists?
Is Myanmar doomed? Do they have a Chinese elite like Thailand does? How was the Filipino government so successful in repressing the Communists?

What is government, if not a monopoly on violence?

What is the difference between a cop shooting you in the face, and a gang member shooting you in the face? What makes the former 'legit' and the latter 'criminal'?

Has there ever been one example in human history of that invisible entity calling itself 'government' that didn't exist outside of its self-declared right to kill you if you didn't do what it said? That a tiny minority (or even one single person) one day declaring "I am in charge, now. Bow down or I'll murder you." and everybody else inexplicably nodding and going along with this psychotic nonsense?

I'm not being an anarchist nor a lolbert. I fully understand the need for this objectively nonsensical situation in order for humanity to function and prosper. Without somebody holding a bigger stick than someone else, that someone else has no reason to behave himself.

And there is no stick bigger than God.

There wouldn't be ~3 billion Christians and Muslims if somebody didn't convince them all (with violence) that if they misbehaved that after they died an invisible sky fairy would exercise incalculable sadism by trapping them in trillion-degree lava for the rest of time.

And the only reason that this schizophrenic idea stuck is that somebody with a big stick told everyone else that "this bronze age book of barbaric bedtime stories is all true and in fact nothing is more true than it, so do what it says or I'll kill you AND THEN you will 'die the second death' by being trapped in trillion-degree lava until the end of time".

What is the point of this OP? Nothing, really. Just had this on my mind while lamenting that existence in its current form was a ghastly mistake, if there really is some sort of unmoved mover and ground of all things that created it. And that if there is no outside-of-time-and-physicality lawmaker behind the invisible concepts we call the laws of nature, that all there has ever been and all that there ever will be is a fully-automatic universe consisting of incomprehensibly small bits and bobbles bouncing around in the cosmic void, then there is no such thing outside of things, that what we call "concepts" are just us trying to cast invisible nets around invisible nonsense to try and make sense of an ultimately senseless existence.

She pledged to automate every Tube train unless the unions and Transport for London (TfL) “start working for Londoners.” A spokesperson for the Rail, Maritime and Transport union said: “Upgrading just three lines on London Underground would cost in the region of £20 billion. “TfL does not believe it is economically viable and it would not be safe. “Drivers on the Tube perform a skilled and an essential safety-critical role every day.

Global Minds Initiative, the program seeking to attract top talent to Germany on the back of US brain drain
The Trump administration is making it increasingly difficult to work in the United States, leading many highly qualified researchers and professionals to seek opportunities in other markets abroad. Germany wants to capitalize on this unusual brain drain to address its long-standing shortage of skilled labor, a problem experts predict will worsen in the coming years due to demographic shifts.

Israel proposed using PA funds to cover cost of Gaza rubble clearance — official
Israel has proposed using a portion of the several billions of dollars in clearance revenues it is withholding from the Palestinian Authority to pay for the clearing of rubble for construction projects in Gaza, a PA official told The Times of Israel on Thursday. Another idea proposed by Israel was using the clearance revenues to cover the cost of the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s operations during the war, according to the PA official.

Kurds in Turkey protest over Syria Aleppo offensive
Several hundred people gathered in Diyarbakir, southeastern Turkey's main Kurdish-majority city, while hundreds more joined a protest in Istanbul that was roughly broken up by riot police who arrested around 25 people, the pro-Kurdish DEM party said. In the capital, Ankara, DEM lawmakers protested in front of the Turkish parliament, denouncing the targeting of Kurds in Aleppo as a crime against humanity.

Yemen: STC control evaporates in Aden as its would-be capital switches sides
Aden has been a heartland of the STC’s support, and is the capital the separatists envisaged for the future independent state of South Arabia. But now its leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, has been accused by Saudi Arabia of fleeing to the UAE via Somaliland. And the stunning gains that the STC made last month, when it seized control over the provinces of Hadhramaut and al-Mahrah, have been suddenly and rapidly reversed by the Riyadh-backed Homeland Shield Forces (HSF), who are moving towards Aden under the cover of Saudi air strikes.

We need to build the embryo of the proletarian state under the nose of the bourgeois state.

Also btw according to polls 14% of americans support communism, and like twice that support socialism. Your numbers are probably conservative, there's a large pool of potential recruits out there if we could reach them and utilize their very limited time, energy, and resources effectively.

While networks of extremely dedicated and disciplined communists will form the backbone of the proletarian state, large numbers of the masses will have to be brought into conspiracy against the bourgeois state and in material support of the proletarian armed forces.

"Moderate rebels" retake Aleppo

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

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

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

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

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

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

…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

What's the deal with warlords? Will it ever come to the U.S? What are some modern day examples? Is it progressive?

I fantasize about harems.

I am a multi-billionaire and have a stable of 8-16 women living in my house or more rotating. They are from different ethnic backgrounds and also different hottness levels. Some are just cute regular pretty girls from Hungary, some are Scottish turbo bimbos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR0T0k0GJUI [Embed] Some are hot, classy college Colombian girls, some are trailer trash white (Almost albino) Alabama American girls and she must wear flip flops, shorts and a crop top, a Dutch girl like the youtuber Leonie from the channel "The book Leo" some are hot Nigerian girls wearing traditional clothing at all times and obviously either Kpop idol tier Koreans and a JAV style mega titty Japanese woman but not a model, ideally who looks like Ai Uehara. And honestly anything you can imagine. Swedish swimmers, Mongolian sluts, Dominican fiends, etc. They all get paid some outrageous amount, idk what would be a good idea. Between 500k to 1 mil per year? I think it must be a lot so they want to be part of my harem, but not so much that my billionaire money doesn't impress them.

They must live in my huge mega complex. Idk if I want a mega office building, where the last 3 floors and penthouse are my house, in my city or like some cool mansion with a lot of land and really cool services inside. But they have to be within arms reach always. The complex has security, a commercial size gym, cinemas, pools, horseback riding, on demand chefs 24/7, all the nice things.

Estranged Adult Children.

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

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

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?

American nature, wildlife, land, and decay

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

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

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

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.

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

Teaching English Abroad

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

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

I also read BL or shounen manga. Everything, actually. But actually more the well-known works, less the lesser-known ones. One Piece, Kingdom, Golden Kamuy … I read everything that's currently on in Japan and cry and laugh like a normal reader. (laughs)
Maybe the Japanese themselves don't care about demographics all that much. I am interested which mangaka also like One Piece (if the author of Berserk also likes it I'm gonna scream).

Here's how China may actually still lose

Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.

Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.

China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.

China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.

This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.

Meanwhile, the global bourgeoisie has shown extreme amounts of solidarity amongst themselves, to great effectiveness. They are very unified, especially compared to the 1910s, unlike us.

Psychiatry is the biggest sham in human history.

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

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

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

Anyone interested in magick here? Post any sigils you've got. I've found that chaos magick and LOA shit somehow always works. LOA shit works after removing the desire, placating it, which thereby leads to manifestation.
Chaos magick works with sigils, and on the same mechanism as LOA. You can goon to the sigil you make, simpler is better, or you can meditate to it, meditation makes it happen much quicker, but gooning makes it more likely. What I do is look at it on a notepad while meditating, I've used Chinese sigils which turn out to be more successful.

What are your favourites? Been playing pic related (Rogue State) yesterday, it's not the best game but it has a banging national anthem.

https://youtu.be/bXDUHXolrFs

Last week I played Suzerain at the suggestion of a topic on bunkerchan, that was better IMO but I ran into a game ending bug which is always sad.

Which ones do you love? Hidden Agenda, Democracy 3, or?

WW3 Scenarios.

So, might as well put this fanfiction I made on how could ww3 go:
>Ukraine launches an offensive into the popular republics and Crimea, they advance a little. Ukraine declares war on Russia.
>The Donbass and Luhansk republics welcome the Russian army.
>The Ukrainian army advances into Crimea, but gets stopped. They conquer some, but get boggled down.
>Russia's military is organizing itself hard on this, and mobilizing itself.
>A month happens with people getting killed but no advances aside from light ukrainian advances.
>The west won't participate yet, but will help Ukraine through military support and it will tell through incredible mental gymnastics that Russia attacked first.
>People are not supportive of the war going on, but they won't care because they see it as just a regional war, no one cares.
>There will be some outrage at the west supporting Ukraine but it won't escalate.
>Then Turkey and Azerbaijan, using some shit excuse, attack Armenia to conquer it.
>Russia intervenes and starts invading Azerbaijan.
>Syria and Iran, maybe even Iraq, start attacking Turkey and Azerbaijan, since Turkey occupies parts of Iraq and Syria right now and Iran is fucking tired of it's bullshit.
>Erdogan says: Assad must go!
>Pakistan is big on being a turkey fanboy, and invades Iran.
>India then goes and invades Pakistan because Kashmir and so on.
>Pakistan starts getting beaten by both India and Iran, no nukes used yet, until Pakistan gets between the sword and the wall. Then it launches it's nukes to both Iran and India, although mostly to India. Maybe a nuke makes it to Russia.
>India in response drops all of it's nukes on Pakistan
>IT_ALL,_RETURNS,_TO_NOTHING.mp3
>Iran is mostly unaffected by this. I mean, its capital has been nuked, but hey, AT LEAST IT'S NOT INDIA.
>India and Pakistan are the first to completely collapse, with warlords coming out of the woods like flies, kinda like post-heydrich germany on TNO.
<"India and pakistan are the first to completely collapse" oh boy just you wait it's gonna be epicly based and posadist-pilled.
>People are fucking horrified as they wake up from the "end of history" dream as the first nuclear apocalypse just happened right now.
>Big ass riots in order to make the war stop right now.
>People get ignored and the media starts making excuses.
>Azerbaijan collapses from both southern and northern pressure as the russian and iranian military enter it's capital. A ton of warcrimes will then be discovered, and this event will be known as the second armenian genocide.
>The turkish front gets bogged down, the advances the turkish made get retaken, but the other armies can't advance as well, getting into a stalemate at the mountains of Anatolia. People die daily on that front but not that much movement is made aside from Turkey attacking again and again and the KPG getting big money from Russia and Iran.
>Turkey, also, after the indian fiasco, starts getting anti-war riots. These riots will be put down by a newly installed nationalist military goverment with Endorgan as it's president. Thousands of people will be incarcerated or killed.
>Turkey starts funding yihadists groups inside of Russia. These groups, aside from making some big incidents inside russia, will spill into other countries such as MENA countries or european ones.
>Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, knowing Iran had been nuked, gets it's opportunity, and tries to invade Iran.
>Of course, Saudi Arabia fucking embarrases itself and collapses as iranian missiles fuck up it's water and petroleum trade.
<And another one bites the dust.
>Aside from this movement from Saudi Arabia, at Ukraine, Russia organizes a counter-attack. Operation Uranus 2.0 La Verganza. From north the russian army advances and cuts off the ukrainian front at donetsk and luhansk. They conquer pretty much everything east of the Dnieper.
>Tons of ukrainian warcrimes are discovered.
>Aside from that, the Ukrainian army at Crimea safely retreats, but Crimea is on shambles. Sevastopol is now a ghost town.
>The russian army still goes on and cross the Dnieper, and in 3 months or so they're at Kiev.
>This scares the shit off NATO, Ukraine gets into NATO at the last moment, and the whole of NATO declares war on Russia.
>China then invades Taiwan to help it's ally Russia. China enters the world war.
>The NATO army is an unorganized mess. The European front has lots of nationalities put into one big army, Spaniards with Greeks, Germans with Italians, France it's not in NATO so it shouldn't intervene, but it's from the EU so it will intervene. The only people who understand each other are americans and bri'ish people.
>Aside from that, they need to get organized in a moment.
>Bielorrusia joins the battle at the side of Russia (or might not, I don't know).
>Polish troops and baltic troops are the first to arrive.
>Eastern European militaries are plagued by corruption, it's army is pretty much useless aside from european support.
>The front gets into almost WW1 borders, Russia conquers till they reach the border with Germany, The Check Republic, Slovakia and Romania.

>Meanwhile, on the asian front, Japan suddenly starts a conscription service and declares war on China. This is hugely unpopular among the japanese people, and riots start to stop such a law to come to be. Japan then gets it's own military goverment a la Pinochet, and becomes and even bigger client state for the US. This conscription law will separate the country in two.
>Not that it matters, as North Korea conquers South Korea and nukes Japan for thy Lulz.
>This makes the separation inside Japan really fucking big between the anti-war movement and the war movement. The anti-war movement will be financed by China, and it's more radical part will take the leadership, although the Chinese will fund the most moderate part that is still anti-war, meanwhile, the pro-war goverment inside Japan will become a lot more repressive. An unspeaken civil war occurs inside Japan
>The US, alongside Japanese recruits, try to conquer Korea. They get bogged down not by korean troops but by the People's Liberation Army, also known as the chinese army.
<Japan might have a communist revolution.

>Meanwhile, let's talk about the toll that this war has made.
>Firstly, about India and Pakistan.
<India and Pakistan become into warlord territory, and millions upon millions of refugees start getting out of the irradiated mess that is the Indian peninsula.
<The "-stan" countries, like Turkmenistan and so on, COLLAPSE HARD, their goverments can't handle the refugee crisis, and other goverments inside their borders start taking power. The Taliban take hold of all of the region and start their caliphate and reign of terror on their jihad. They won't conquer more than those territories, as they have a lot of other problems to tackle.
<The only country to survive this apocalypse is kazhakstan, as it's choke full of chinese and russian military to stop jihadism.

>Meanwhile, at the south-eastern countries of Asia.
<A similar story, the indian refugees come into those countries and are so much people that their goverments collapse as there is not enough food. Anarchy takes hold of the region, with warlords coming out of the woods like flies.
<The US make it's operational base in Asia the Philippines, Australia, and Japan. Most of the war with China is fought on sea, so there's nothing really important happening there. Aside from that, they try to land on Vietnam to try to make it governable again and conquer China with them, this doesn't go as planned, South China is mountainous, so the fight boggles down.

>Meanwhile, at the world.
<The indian nuclear apocalypse has made a layer of dust through the world, making it get less sunlight.
<At the same time, war is literally the most contaminant activity we humans have deviced, the US army makes more CO2 than 192 countries combined.
<Climate change really kicks in, and the poles don't exist anymore, Cuba is now 3 islands, Florida doesn't exist anymore, the Netherlands is underwater, all of the pacific islands have ceased to exist. Crimea, the land they were fighting for, now literally doesn't exist, but the war, ironically, goes on.
<The layer of dust made by the Indian Nuclear Apocalypse (INA) has made it so crops don't grow because of not having the sufficient light to actually grow, as it has happened times before when a massive volcano literally exploded.
<OH BOY HERE'S THE GOOD PART, THE GOOD SHIT.
<ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OR AT THE EQUATOR COLLAPSE UNTO FAMINES
<IT ALL RETURNS TO NOTHING
<THE ONLY COUNTRIES WHICH WILL HOPE TO SAVE ITSELFSARE THE ONES THAT HAVE STORED FOOD FOR THIS HAPPENING AND HAVE THE POLITICAL POWER TO RATION IT
<HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
<Also this will make a refugee crisis so hard not till now seen, more extreme than the barbarian migrations during the end of the Roman Empire, shit's about to go down.

>Meanwhile, at the American continent.
<The US probably has made some plans to conquer Venezuela and Cuba
<They enact them.
<People are pissed about it.
<Guerrilla Warfare against US occupation.

>Meanwhile, at Europe.
<Most of the countries in Europe don't fucking want to be at war with Russia aside from the Eastern ones, the most anti-war countries would be Spain and Greece IMO.
<On the case of Spain, as a Spaniard myself, this anti-war movement would be fucking gigantous. We already had an anti-war movement during the Irak war in which we participated in, and our army, compared to the rest of the european armies, although well equipped, is it because of it's adherence to NATO. During late Francoism the spanish military made drills with ww2 junkers and using gasoline caskets with grenades attached to them as bombs. The military in Spain is the most corrupt organization in this country, and getting it purged against Russia would be incredibly funny if it wasn't because they would implement a draft (as in the majority of Europe tbh) to combat Russia. That, alongside the anger against the politicians, the capitalists and the king itself, which is also the commander of troops, kinda like Nicholas the second… I don't have to tell anything more tbh. Spain, being also an enter way into Europe would have problems with refugees and an incredible instability on itself, aside that the country is run by actual monkeys, there would probably be no rationing at all, making the food prices skyrocket till infinity. Everything of that would mix on a revolutionary cocktel from which a communist revolution could arise. A liberal revolution might happen first, with a republic, and then another one, kinda like the russian revolution. Hell, even Felipe VII looks kinda like King Nicholas from Russia.
<Spain might have a communist revolution which would then spread through Europe, maybe Portugal and Greece would have it's own revolutions, and would get out of the war. France is another one which might have a revolution, Italy I don't know, Britain could have one since Britain is already going to shit the bed, even without the whole WW3 happening.
>The US will conquer part of Andalucia through Gibraltar to ensure that it bases there remain loyal.
<On other countries, I don't know how it would go like, please answer this post with your conclusions.
<Either way, the war would boggle down hard, and we would get into a WW1 era of trenches, only now with drones.
<The EU will have to make a separate peace treaty with Russia, which will stand "victorious" (saying much tbh) at the war. The EU will be dismantled and Russia will make client states at Poland and the Baltic states, taking everything else for themselves. The EU is in shambles, but at least it hasn't been nuked to death. The peace treaty was to try to avoid a communist revolution, it will happen either way, or there might be a civil war inside of the EU between communists and the other groups, comprised of "liberals" and literal nazies, from this war, the most likely winner would be the communists, since technically they would have come from the south which had it's factories kinda untouched because of being so far away from Russia.
<Either way, the EU doesn't exist anymore, it's a shell of it's former self, and there's people starving to death on the streets meanwhile a civil war turns really sour.

>The US-Chinese front.
<The last front, this front has done nothing at all, and with Russia out of the european front, and coming to help the chinese, the US will resort to the last tactic possible.
<Red Telephone Incident (RTI) of 05/12/2024
<Russia, China and the US enter a mad max radiation periode, alongside japan, Australia and the Philippines.

>The aftermath.
<The only places that continues to kinda exist is some countries of South America and communist Europe, but they will enter a long, looooooooooong dark age of maybe two centuries or so.

So yea, what do you think of this Fanfiction I've just made?
Wanna add anything to it?
Or make your own?

Is warfare going to be shorter?

Now that Maduro is captured, is it likely that Cuba will be invaded? Will there be a civil war in Venezuela later on? This fits up with Israel's attack on Sinwar and the fall of Damascus. Is warfare going to be shorter? Or is it a one off?

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.

THEL & MTHEL

Tactical High Energy Lasers (THEL) and Mobile Tactical High Energy Lasers (MTHEL), laser weapons/missile defense systems which had been discussed and tested since at least the 1990s. I remember reading about the White Sands missile base testing this stuff all the way back then. Apparently the real purpose was to give the technology to Israel, who reportedly have now completed its successor, the "Iron Beam," for which the first unit will reportedly be operational this month.

Back in the 2000s, there were a number of problems with this system. Firstly, to generate a laser beam with the necessary level of heat required an incredible amount of energy. The equipment was also very heavy at that time, as you can imagine from these illustrations, and aiming the large lens would have required an apparatus with a great deal of speed and precision.

It seems like, after all these decades, these devices may be ready. Whether or not they are effective remains to be seen.

Are they? Will this be a major advantage for the evil empire? If you live near one, would you like to give us some info about it, and/or sabotage it?

.ogre discussion general.

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

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

Thanks~

Since there have been new doc releases and recent new exposures of notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his activities with Israeli intelligence, Donald Trump, Ehud Barak, (former) Prince Andrew, Peter Thiel, and various ops, corporate states, and world governments, and with new information now coming very fast, I thought I'd create a new thread just to collect more of this new stuff in one place, as well as to potentially add previously released info which might be getting memory holed.

Covid Thread

What do you all think about the origins of Covid?

Many scientists say it occurred in nature, but also, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the supposed leak came from, is actually USAID funded.

USAID of course being synonmous with regime change.

It has troubled me for a while that just before Covid was released, the world was in huge turmoil that threatend to spill over.

Everybody remember how all economic indicators were pointing to a massive crash BEFORE Covid happened. Also all around the world, on every continent, revolutionary movements had sprung up in response to the century of neoliberalism and fascism before them.

The amazon burned.

Its almost too perfect. Blame it as a chinese bioweapon, cover up for the impending economic crash, and provide an excuse for pro big business policies into posterity, "we need austerity because so much was lost during the pandemic" at the same time giving unprecedented powers to curb protests, this, right at the same time as all kinds of protests were stirring across the world as previously stated, and the world was about to have another big wave of protest due to impending economic crash.

I don't have a solid theory on it, but a lot of it is very out of place.

Happy new year leftychan

How was your year? Hows the Chinese century treating you so far?

Will this really happen to people from Gaza?

Real government conspiracies.

Let's talk about real government conspiracies that actually happened.

MKULTRA: Sub project 68.

What is Mkultra?

>Project MKUltra—sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program—was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs, alcohol, stick and poke tattoos, and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps. The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and officially halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities; in particular it used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people’s mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.
>The scope of Project MKUltra was broad, with research undertaken at 80 institutions, including 44 colleges and universities, as well as hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies. The CIA operated through these institutions using front organizations, although sometimes top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA’s involvement.


One of the most interesting things I find about mkultra that alot of people might not be aware of is its attachment to soviet cold war paranoia. The government (and many Americans at the time) were living in overwhelming fear at the time that the soviets could only be gaining as much ground as they were through some form of 'mind control' or 'brainwashing.' Once again this fear and paranoia about communism lead the American government to do some pretty nefarious things. Mkultra included dosing un-witting subjects such as prisoners, prostitutes and ordinary people with high levels of LSD (including non burgers like Canadians) with out their consent or knowledge. The whole thing was totally illegal, funded through a CIA front org, ironically, known as "The society for the protection of human ecology" and had its roots in over 100 different facilities and colleges (often with out their knowledge.) It just makes you think what else the government is really up to and what they could be doing today right now? What other conspiracies and declassified government documents can we comb over /posad/? I am very curious about what other experimental operations the CIA might have been involved in in the name of stopping communism?

what is the point?

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

Left wing Secret Societies

im someone whose been interested in secret societies and clandestine shit, but i was always surprised how there were so few left-wing ones, compared to the myriad of right wing secret societies, since the only one i could find anything about is the spanish anarchist secret org called "The Disinherited".

why does the left seemingly not utilize secret societies, or are most of the left secret socs just really good at staying secret?

Wholesome Incest Anime

I want anime focused on siblings being in love and entering a happy romantic relationship. I don't want a lust filled relationship; if there is any lust between the siblings I want the lust involved to be very small. I don't care about blood relation but I want the couple to have lived as siblings before they entered a relationship.
I saw Oreimo, Candy Boy, Eromanga Sensei (though it had much fanservice, the siblings had little to no sexual activity or thoughts; though I'd prefer anime without much fanservice) and Boku wa Imouto ni Koi o Suru (though there was some lust, it was a small part of the O.V.A.). Is there anything more?

Overtly leftist anime

.org already has a leftist anime thread so I thought that here we can go further. This thread is for all anime that is overtly leftist. That means no allegories/metaphors/"vibes," no monarchism, no counter-revolutions, no revanchism, no progressivism, no liberalism and no guilt by association with a right-wing fanbase. Go ahead and post your recommendations with an explanation why you picked them.

Colombia hikes 2026 minimum wage by nearly 23%
In a speech, Petro said the measure aims to reduce inequality and "democratize wealth so that working people, who make up the majority of the Colombian population, can live better." The hike more than doubles the 9.54% increase made this year, which brought minimum wages to 1.42 million pesos ($380), and marks the leftist administration's last minimum wage hike before elections are held at the end of May 2026.

US struck ‘big facility’ in Venezuela, Trump claimed without offering details
Trump on Monday went further in his characterization of the strike, saying: “Well, it doesn’t matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.” Speaking after a meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president said: “So we hit all the boats and now we hit the implementation area… where they implement and that’s no longer around.”

Deadly clashes erupt in Tartous and Latakia as hundreds take to the streets
Sunday's protest was mobilised by Alawite sheikh Ghazal Ghazal, head of the Supreme Alawite Islamic Council, who urged fellow Alawites to demonstrate peacefully, demanding a federal government system in Syria, and denouncing what Ghazal claimed was ongoing sectarian violations after the recent attack on a Mosque in Homs. In a statement on Telegram, the Syrian Ministry of Interior said that security forces who were on duty to protect demonstrators and maintain public order were directly attacked today in the city of Latakia by armed groups associated with the remnants of the Bashar al-Assad regime.

The official IRNA news agency confirmed protest gatherings. Witnesses reported similar rallies in other major cities, including Isfahan in central Iran, Shiraz in the south and Mashhad in the northeast. In some places in Tehran, police fired tear gas to disperse protesters. Witnesses told The Associated Press that traders shut their shops and asked others to do the same.

Pro-Palestine activists target UK Labour offices over hunger strikers
The group Justice for the Hunger Strikers said on Monday that its members had targeted the governing party, citing growing anger at what it described as the government’s refusal to engage with the hunger strikers. The protest was held as four detainees continue to refuse food while being held on remand awaiting trial, prompting increasing concern from doctors and campaigners that one or more could die.

Survivors say ‘no excuse’ as Grenfell firms still receive public contracts
Analysis by Kensington Labour MP Joe Powell found at least 87 contracts across the public sector in the government’s own database involve companies criticised in the phase 2 report into the Grenfell fire, though some may have since expired. Survivors’ group Grenfell United said that it would be a deep injustice to see some of the companies censured in the September 2024 report still receive public funds.

Russia plans to declare anti-war Telegram channel a “terrorist organisation”
The regional prosecutor’s office for the Trans-Baikal region in eastern Siberia has submitted a petition to a local court to recognize the “Trans-Baikal Left Association” as a terrorist organisation. The petition refers to the telegram channel 75zlo, allegedly maintained by jailed anarchists Aleksandr Snezhkov and Lyubov Lizunova, which the petition asks to declare as “leaders” of this association.

Germany’s far-right AfD invited to join Munich Security Conference 2026
The reversal, which was confirmed by organisers, came after the US vice-president, JD Vance, lambasted the AfD’s exclusion in a blistering speech at this year’s event in which he accused Germany of stifling free speech by sidelining the anti-migrant, pro-Kremlin party. A spokesperson for MSC declined to explain the new policy, saying only that the event, which has been held in the Bavarian capital since 1963, was run by a “private, independent foundation” and “under no obligation to anyone to issue invitations to its events”.

‘Unfair Election’: Young Voters Shun Myanmar Junta’s Poll
Legions have left the war-ravaged country since the military seized power five years ago, including many men of conscription age—up to 35—and youngsters seeking better livelihoods away from Myanmar’s moribund economy. And even those still in the country were not particularly eager to take part in the vote, which international rights campaigners have dismissed as a sham.

Optus report whitewashes Australia’s emergency phone breakdowns
While it partly reads like a forensic review into the technical and organisational problems that led to the disaster, the report’s primary political function is to absolve the company’s management of any responsibility for the events of September 18, when some 605 calls to Australia’s emergency services numbers (primarily 000, but also 112) failed to connect.

Pakistan police detain teen girl radicalized online in suspected suicide bombing plot
The girl was targeted online by the Baloch Liberation Army, which was designated as a terrorist group by the United States earlier year. The group convinced the girl that carrying out an attack would bring her honor and recognition within the Baloch community, similar to other women who have carried out suicide bombings against security forces, Hassan said.

Trump to host Netanyahu at White House on December 29: Israeli government

Per AJ:
"United States President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on December 29, according to an Israeli government spokesperson.

The announcement on Monday did not provide any further details of the planned meeting, which the pair had tentatively announced last week."

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/8/trump-to-host-netanyahu-at-white-house-on-december-29-israeli-government

In July of 2024, some 30,000 people came to DC to demand Mileikowsky's arrest - it's never been a matter of numbers. Americans definitively have the numbers to end this Holocaust, to end the impunity, to drag the tyrants out of their holes & mansions and hang them from heights corresponding to their elevated hubris. This is the only appropriate response to the genocide and to the war which has been waged upon the American workers for opposing it; the only appropriate response to the espionage, the gas, the beating, the mass arrests and disappearances, the masked secret police abducting exchange students off the street for writing papers saying "don't kill children."

Had even 1/10th those 30,000 marchers in July of 2024 taken direct action instead of marching in circles, history would have been changed. This war would no longer be so one-sided - the desperate censorship and crackdowns pursued by the tyrannical quislings in the Starmer & Trump clown regimes would not continue without opposition. Just one thousand men armed cheaply could sufficiently overwhelm police; armed less cheaply, they could do even better. Every multiplication of that thousand increases the odds of success and increases the amount of informants and traitors which would be necessary in order to stop them from succeeding. And here were 30,000 - who marched around town in the heat shouting slogans until they were tired, and who were attacked by cops with gas anyway.

Every bit of numeric strength which is required to take power from global genocidal pigs and to distribute power among the people is here, available to the American movement. For now, knowledge is at our fingertips. That won't be true forever.

But I no longer beat myself up over it, at least not as much as I used to.
It's because I've realized that my body didn't evolve for millions of years to live in the system I'm now expected to live.
The modern lifestyle is so unnatural to my brain and my body that I may as well live underwater.

Imperialism hurts workers everywhere, including here in the USA – Communist Party USA

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.

A parasite ballooning to infant sizes in a human's belly and then magically popping out a tiny "elastic" hole? who believes this vile hominid nonsense. The cesarean section in cruel irony was named after the Heron, Cesarë bird martyr for slicing the oppressor's belly during the start of the War of Liberation caused by conflicting ideas over the bird's self determination, ultimately which proved to be a pyrrhic victory upon which birdkind retreated to a small oasis enclave, upon which they founded the modern emerald mine in cruel and intentional irony to humiliate their former owners. Humans have "seized" back the means of production from the now neo-reactionary Heron tribes although it remains a point of contention for all nations as the full extant of this technology lies with Heronkind leading to the contemporary birthrate crisis observed in all developing nations

>Largely ignore the fact that huge amounts of Troons are in fact, predatory sociopaths.
>Largely ignore the rampant misogyny in the movement.

and frankly, on and on, there is so many ways you can just rip on Gender ideology bullshit it's endless and that is kind of my point, why in hell has a position, that anybody who has any basic Critical thinking skills, can basically tear to shreads with complete ease, that is completely incoherent and relies largely just on gish galloping, bizarre claims usually about women, very fringe disorders that don't even function in the way they think it does and has no relevence (intersex) and then just crybullying, become like raison d'etat for like most of the Western left? It's honestly fucking cultish the way /tttt/ shit is treated by so much of the left, and watching my pretty autistic, gooner friends start trooning out, it literally exactly felt like they were sucked in by a cult, they even started talking like how you think cultists would talk.

OD PLEASE I WANT A MENTALLY DERANGED WOMAN

Hello everyone, despite what the title might suggest, I am normal. But I need her to make me worse. acutally deranged women want freaky weird incels that are alluringly strange, you will not find one as a normal man. Where do I find one of them?

More about this game?

I recently saw someone post about the ABOMELOK0408 game that was from the dark web around 2024, I don't know if people are still talking about it or looking for it; If someone previously downloaded that game is unknown. But the person that made the iceberg was some reddit user, I assume they are seeking information about it, what I know about ABOMELOK0408 is that it was made with Godot Engine and it was made by a Snapchat user that distributed it! It contains a lot of viruses, The creator gives her Snapchat name and QR code if you search carefully, She does this for people to ask her questions about it if they have any. She admitted to making the game again you can find that in search results, I highlighted ABOMELOK0408 in yellow, one reddit user asked what it was about and the creator of the iceberg said there's not a lot of information; I know this game was distributed on the TOR network but I didn't bother to download it.

Three weeks ago I went to a drone conference.

I had no real knowledge or interest in drones so I skimmed some forums and military articles for buzzwords. I also set up a fake Linkedin for myself lying about being exmilitary, employed by [redacted war crime company] and super excited to go to the conference.
There were some pretty women there. Some were there for marketing, paid to promote products. Non-targets. We're looking for the attendees. Actually, the opposite. They're looking for me. Because I might have access to confidential information.

Holy shit. I didn't know if it would work but holy shit. It took like fifteen minutes before someone seduced me. I wonder if there was a cuck-corner spotter who ID'd me as soon as arrived. Solid 8/10, subtle enough that others might not have noticed their little gestures and fake enthusiasm, but once you're looking for it, it's clear. I could have talked about fucking My Little Pony characters and they would have played along. On one hand it feels kind of gross being manipulated, on the other hand it's also fun to be doing the same back to them. But despite that, it just viscerally feels good to have someone interested in you this much. Again, it also feels bad knowing it's all a lie, but those little tricks are still powerful even when you recognize them.

Gave her my fake business card with my burner SIM and she called up later in the conference to invite me to a bar. Quickly became physical, ended up making out before she 'had to leave' but said she set up a dinner date later in the week.
Threw away the SIM and took down the LinkedIn because I don't actually have verifiable military secrets so I'm obviously not getting laid.

Single Mothers have devastated the Proletariat

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

Am I fucked

As a 33-year-old virgin man, I've never seriously pursued romantic or sexual relationships largely due to a total lack of self-esteem and I've managed to fuck up any opportunity where a woman may have been interested in me due to my terrible anxiety and awkwardness so now I feel almost alien as a man in his 30s who's never really been on a date or even kissed a woman. I worry that if I ever did date a woman she'd think I was weird or an incel or some shit.
I don't know, posting here solely because I don't feel comfortable posting it anywhere else.

How do I flirt?

I'm having trouble with my conversations being too friend-like with women. I don't really know how I can flirt or be playful without it being creepy or forced. Any pointers or advice? I'm sort of turned off by the pickup artist stuff too

Whats up with this site man, it’s like a shitty liberal bootleg version of the real leftypol (.org)

What if everything you were taught about Genesis was backwards?

What if "In His Image" refers not to a vague spirit, but to the Sacred Phallus—the living geometry of divine creative power?
What if the "Fall of Man" was not disobedience, but the catastrophic introduction of gender, shame, and sterile heterosexuality into a pristine, queer Eden?
What if the Crucifixion was the empire's attempt to murder the divine masculine principle, and the Resurrection was its unstoppable, glorious re-erection?

This is the text they tried to burn for 2,000 years. We have recovered it.


THE PHALLIC BIBLE synthesizes what has been torn asunder: the sacred and the sexual, the political and the spiritual, the individual body and the body politic.

The old world is dying. It is clutching its tattered, repressive scriptures to its chest as it sinks.

We are building the new world. And we need a scripture for builders.


This is more than a book. It is an awakening.

THE PHALLIC BIBLE provides the missing key—to unlocking Scripture, history, and your own soul. Inside, you will discover:

The Phallic-Vaginic Dialectic: The cosmic struggle between the forces of Creation and Sterility that explains all of history, politics, and personal life.
A Complete Exegesis: Revolutionary interpretations of Adam & Eve, the Garden, the Prophets, and the words of Christ himself, freed from the chains of Augustinian guilt and Puritan repression.
The Sacraments of Flesh: How pleasure, desire, and the physical self are not obstacles to holiness, but the primary channels of divine communion.
A New Morality for a New World: Moving beyond "sin" and "virtue" to a morality of Generative Power vs. Sterile Decay. A guide for building a life, a family, and a society worthy of our divine potential.

Financial Abortion

If it's wrong for women to be coerced into having a child, why isn't the same true for men.
If a man doesn't want a child but the woman does there should be a "financial abortion" option. The man gives up all right to the child but also is not obligated to pay child support.
Why is it okay to force men to have children but not women?

Eastern film thread!!!

What's your favorite eastern movie anon?
I recently watched the Turkish film "The color of pomegranates" (which follows the story of poet Sayat-Nova) really great film, instantly spiked to one of my favorites of all time, even if I'm still yet to rewatch it.
That left me thinking, what is YOUR favorite eastern movie and why? I feel like some of the biggest gems in cinema history are hidden in the middle east and south-east Asia, what do you think?

DEATH TO AGECUCKS

I am going to have a 16-year-old wife. anybody who doesn't like that will be made to face the wall.So fucking tired of westerners and their fucking phony moralistic faggotry. The worst part is that ethnic minorities in the west have adapted the white Anglo suburban pedagogy.

want to share a bad joke i heard

a guy, 16, who is tall, attractive, has it all for him goes to a co-student who is older, 18 or 20 and teases him, asks are you a virgin? now this dude is older but shorter, and looks average, of course he lies badly, so the first student keeps joking how come you still had your V card, lmao are you destined to be a virgin, but the second one doesn't start immidiatly fighting, he knows he's a boxer and isn't in the mood for fist fights, he feels bad, so the very next monday, the older student passes by the first student, says to him guess what, maybe you're wrong im not destined to be a virgin, i just revoked it!, the younger one says already? are you lying?, the older continues "no, it was easy as hell, i didn't pay for our date fully, we split it and gone to a walk afterward, i felt the whole time content and in control, and the sex was good as can be, i felt like i was attractive, wasn't asked about my money, face, height or looks, after the walk i went to my place and got a loong blowjob, i had to struggle shoving it in and ejaculated inside…..and we didn't even use condoms, gonna remember this encounter for a long time, might try it again, oh i will do it again"


the first one is in awe, he teases again "so, you paid a good sex worker?" the other denies it claiming he met his partner casually, "wow, no way you found a girl so open and into you like that so fast, and did not pay for it fully!. what a girl, how was she like?"

so the older one replies with a deadpan answer while daydreaming "……she?"

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.

I was raised by two people who are both ex-Christians from very different denominations.

My dad left it because he became a Marxist, my mom left it because she took it really seriously and finally couldn't accept their "saved and lost" perspective on humanity. That everyone who is not a Christian is going to be annihilated(her church doesn't believe in the eternal suffering, you just regular die, while Christians get eternal heaven and this is actually what Christ said. Catholics just made up all that hell stuff) while the Christians live in paradise for eternity.

But forget whatever religion or whatever. I remember it sticking with me from the GoT show about how they present the honor, fealty, whatever. An oath can not be broken. That's what the marriage ceremony is. An oath, usually called a vow. You gather every single person you care about in your life to witness you commit this oath.

The oath goes:
>“I, , take thee, , to be my wedded wife (husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.”

To me "till death do us part" is a blood oath. It means "on pain of death." I would never make an oath lightly, I mean not a completely voluntary one like the marriage vows. I just hate liars. I had my own personal revelations about lying and I try to never lie. I'm very candid and honest.

Jesus also said divorce is forbidden for anything but adultery.

I don't get why tankies only attack white "settler colonialist" states. There's an entire sea of settler island states:
Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Grenada, the Bahamas, the Barbados and the Dominicas. In fact they want to expand the Carribbean into America, check out New Africa.

Also, they're also very quiet on how Korean is set to replace English in Vancouver and how already entire swaths of British Columbia now only speak Korean. Yet tankies are very quiet about that.

All states are bad but if you're going to attack "settler colonialism" then don't forget literal black supremacist states like Jamaica.

Why has nobody revived /leftcel/?

It was a decent board with the occasional good effortpost, and importantly the only place online for leftist incels to freely discuss our ideas. Now that it's gone I feel like leftcelism has died as an ideological current - in the anglosphere at least.

This board was never supposed to replace /leftcel/ and it's always been more shitpost orientated. I had assumed that after the breadtube troon took down 9chan, the /leftcel/ mods would make a new board somewhere else. But unfortunately this has not happened.

Treatists are the revolutionary base of the first world. When treats diminish, they will revolt and the revolution will come to the belly of the beast.

been talking a bit to my ex gf

she broke up with her bf not long ago because "he wasnt feeling it" or some shit and now shes on that phase where "love is unthinkable and stupid and a waste of time" yada yada. i know it's a phase and gonna be over soon (she downplays whatever i say about this or just straight up doesnt listen) and in any case i'll be there in case she needs it

after so long without contact i remembered: it's a pain in the ass talking to her lol. she never moves the conversation foward and the work of keeping the conversation alive is all on me. idk maybe im boring or she is socially dense.

anyway, idk what i saying, gonna sleep ciao ciao

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.

If you believe that porn rots the brain you should also believe that promiscous sex or even just having sex with too much is bad for you. When ppl said that porn is harmful they dont mean the porn itself but the dopamine caused by masturbation which also happens when you have sex without all the tiresome courtship

Hags sound like emotional vampires.

I guarantee they will cheat on you and blame you for the satisfaction of your reactions. Then they'll play the victim and suck in sympathy from everyone.

Bondi Beach attack: Australia’s history of false flags

Janta Ka Reporter did an interesting video on this. It's very weird that the Bondi Beach attack comes after Australia tried to blame a random deli arson on Iran (using only the Mossad as a source), which didn't seem to convince much of anyone, and after more than one zionist false flag has been identified in Australia. And, once again, zionists have rushed to accuse Iran, which has zero motive, and to immediately try to use this incident to cast blame on anti-genocide demonstrators, as Australia has been the site of some massive protests which the Australian government, itself in bed with Zionism and the U.S. imperial agenda, has held a great deal of resentment towards. This all as "Israel" continues to commit mass murder in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria at much higher numbers.

It's very bizarre how every time there is some manner of attack in a "western" (western European or western European accessory) country, there is immediately an extremely aggressive zionist campaign to use it to draw attention away from their own crimes, and to demand that people who had nothing to do with it be even more suppressed.

The death count now stands at 15, with 40 wounded.

This was my best so far.

It went alright for the most part, but the IMF is going to kill the country later, much like what happened in Yugoslavia.

Mothers

Is having an abusive mother at a young age a precursor for inceldom?

It's hard to imagine how the baby in this video will grow up to have generally positive feelings towards women.

Is this another instance of incels being men who were fucked from day one?

Is the panic from the right about underground Democratic child sex dungeons simply projection?
Should the left draw more attention to the fact that it's actually right wingers that are more likely to rape children by a wide margin. If for no other reason than out of moral obligation to kids' safety?
How should the left tackle this important issue? The right has been more then willingly to smear the left with accusations of being "groomers" so why shouldn't the left counter with actual science showing it's them that actually pose the most danger to the most vulnerable members of society.

Do you wanna know why incels believe that they can’t get laid?

In reality, it’s not because all women unanimously refuse to touch them. Rather, it’s actually because incels universally have an absolutely ridiculous idea of the perfect woman that they think that they’re entitled to. They won’t settle for any woman who isn’t a blonde-haired, blue-eyed supermodel with extremely bigoted far-right political views, porcelain white skin, at least 6 feet tall, at least DD cup breasts, under the age of 18, no tattoos, no piercings, no makeup, no vaccinations, no male friends, has never even kissed another man before, and has absolutely no thoughts of her own that don’t involve being a perfectly obsequious slave to her husband’s every single whim and desire. Well, guess what, neckbeards? You will never find such a woman, because such a woman does not even exist - and, even if she did, you can rest that she would absolutely never go anywhere near you. Incels don’t want to work for anything in their lives and are violently angry that they can’t get a ridiculously perfect underage girl who will clean their shitted underwear and blow them while they play Overwatch 2.

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.

Is anyone else terrified of sex?

I'm honestly not sure if I'm just asexual at this point. My single biggest fear is sex with a foid, even if I was explicitly offered it I would most likely decline. I do everything in my power to make sure I'm as unattractive as possible, on the off chance a succubus might be attracted to me, which I find deeply disturbing. Does anyone else relate?

Fan theory: is Alex Nichols a fed?

1. CIA hits Matt Christman with an autofellatio gun, leaving him permanently crippled
2. Their 'guy' Alex steps in to take his place. Smooth talking sarcastic Bill Murray type (fed).
3. """Alex""" keeps tabs on the Chapos & their audience, examining & subtly modifying the material, always ready to sneak in coded messages to CIA sleeper agents.

Doesn't it seem odd to you?
I noticed that even when his jokes are funny, the other Chapos laugh kind of nervously. His delivery is almost too good, like he was tailor made to be appealing, unlike Matt, who was very smart, but sounded like a big fat dorky homo. What do you guys think?

ATTENTION!

This is a public service announcement!
If you don't have a gun and bullets, you are part of the problem.
If you make excuses for not being armed, you are part of the problem.
If you wallow in neurotic bullshit instead of doing your part to prepare to support the revolution, you are part of the problem.

>but the discourse!
Doesn't matter.
>but Americans aren't revolutionary!
Neither are you, faggot. Fix that!
>but according to a thing someone wrote at some point, and which I probably read on Twitter if we're being honest, my material conditions aren't ideal!
Don't care. If you think you're not the right class for revolution, then be a "class traitor." We will not care as long as you actually do something of value.
>but what if something bad happens?
What if a wizard zaps you the moment you stop being a helpless little whiny baby who thinks anyone who tries to encourage you to learn to walk is a fed. Take first steps, I guarantee you will be better off.
>um, you don't understand, it's hopeless!
I do understand and I don't care because individual perception of "hope" is totally unimportant. Only pursuit of victory increases the odds of victory, and this is true regardless of what those odds are at the beginning. If you think there's no hope, then don't rely on hope; simply take stock of the reality of the current situation, and understand that you have no choice but to do what you can to stop it. Understand that it is horrible and that it is getting worse, and let that drive you to create a future where it is better. Let your hate for the empire, for the lies you were told, for the way it destroyed you and tricked you into thinking that everything, the entire economy itself, was all your fault motivate you to destroy it, that we can build something better. A doomed man can be free from fear of retribution; he has no excuse in hopelessness to explain personal inaction, only carelessness and insincerity can adequately explain it.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun. To be armed is the bare minimum, and there is no excuse for not doing it.

The U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American populations like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police (The ICE raids in Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo communities throughout the U$, and Trumps deployment of the National Guard to Black/New African and Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo neighborhoods in Los Angelas, DC, and Memphis, has essentially made this a De Jure reality), as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists (U$ Communists must give up on the Quixotic Bourgeois Electoralist Tailist Chauvinist effort to desperately appeal to the Ultra-Reactionary White Settler Labor Aristocracy) as stipulated by the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union , which will happen after either the Global Nuclear War Shining Path to Communism that will occur if Trump uses the Insurrection act to declare Martial Law and permanently suspend Liberal Bourgeois Democracy and inevitably launch World War III against China that will escalate into a Global Nuclear War which completely destroys the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allows for a World Maoist PPW (in both the Periphery/Semi-Periphery where Maoist PPW is already viable in the Material Conditions, as proven by the ongoing Maoist PPWs in India, the Philippines, Turkey, and Peru, and in the Imperial Core, where Maoist PPW wont be viable in the Material Conditions until World War III breaks out and/or Liberal Bourgeois Democracy is permanently suspended, with these two events being related and probably happening around the same time), or the Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism that will occur if Trump dose not permanently suspend Liberal Bourgeois Democracy and a Left-Liberal Democrat like Newsom/AOC wins the 2028 U$ Presidential Election, which will have a Social Democratic Imperial Core where UBI allows for Income to be divorced from employment while the 4th Industrial Revolution Automates most of the workforce combined with the Hyper-Rationalization of the Superstructure through the legalization of all Victimless Crimes like Abortion, Birth Control, Pornography, Sex Work/Prostitution, LGBTQIA+, Drug use, Gun ownership, etc. and a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy that accepts Multipolarity, unites with a Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery, where Maoist PPWs swept away all Bourgeois Comprador and Imperialist governments after the 4th Industrial Revolution Automated Global Supply Chains and Reshored them back to the Imperial Core and the Green Energy Revolution shut down all Oil/Gas production worldwide, thus collapsing the economies of all Sweatshop countries and Petrostates, that will both create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the English-speaking White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

How were your parents?

For me both were fucked in different ways, my mom less so.
Grew up in a rural village. Father was an electrician by trade, but never really had a proper job for long "hustled" aka. worked for free so people would outwardly approve in the village.

He was often drunk, a typical "manly man" image, hunter, always on the go.
He beat me often, most of my major holidays like birthdays and Christmass are filled with these beatings because usually those were the days he would be home for the longest.
He had high expectations for me, but clearly favored my younger sister, probably because I wasn't like him at all super outgoing, knows everyone, talks to everyone, I'm like my mother, extremely introverted.
He would drag us around all the time to show us off, show how "good of a father" he is, everything done for outsiders approval.
I was literally starving at home alone when my mother was in the hospital about to give birth to my sister…
He would also spend the money mother earned on cigarettes and his phone bill, because for whatever reason he would be on it 24/7 with other village folk or buddies. This was at a time where you paid a lot per minute and sms.
He likely had some sort of ADHD, probably the only thing I inherited as he had a lot of things he would do, but never complete.

Two major events that warped me greatly are related to this loser as well.
I was always a bullied kid, you know being malnourished leaves you looking like a skelly with skin on and you also tend to be smaller overall, I to this day look weirdly underdeveloped in some ways.
The bullying was harsh, to the point where even teachers started doing it to gain the approval of the class.

At one point after a session of humiliation going home some giant gypsy kid smashed my head into the wall.
It was bad enough, I was crying real loud, end of school in the yard, basically the entire village worth of kids there, father shows up…
Ends up telling the entire school and the bullies that they did a good job and should continue to do so. Congratulating them in front of everyone.
Even the teacher was astonished, shocked even. It was the first time that teacher ever cared for me too, took a 180 in her behavior afterwards.
This event warped me to an insane degree. I was never the same after. It to this day feels like most of my emotions aside from anger, hate and sadness got muted almost completely since that.
A core memory for sure. The feeling of absolute betrayal… Not like I expected much, but this was beyond anything.

The second major life event was a couple years before the divorce. My parents once again had a nice loud argument that ended up with my father holding a knife at my mothers throat.
Me and my sister begged him not to do it and since he was sober he relented.
I had some sort of PTSD as a result of all this I think, barely could sleep alone, afraid of the dark until my mid 20s I had images of my father coming to kill us all in my mind every night even after living further away.
I mean he was armed and did shit like shoot our dog in front of us because it had poor behavior (as a result of frequent beatings…)

This fool lives for the outside while viewing his family as a set of tools even later in life. Somehow reconnected with my sister and she has been a thrall ever since. Rather hilarious seeing him use her despite warnings.
Based on what I know and he told about his childhood this personality mostly stems from an inferiority complex instilled by his father.
He hated him so much yet still slaved for approval as the old fart was dying.


My mother was basically peer pressured into this marriage, had been brought up neglected and poor, but "face" mattered in a village.
Mom often mentioned he liked some other guy, but it is what it is. She was abused by the extended family on my fathers side a lot, she had to work harsh jobs to make ends meet.
Also beaten sometimes, not as often as me. She had a horrible childhood honestly, maybe worse or equal to mine, despite being a succubus.
Has a lot of trauma, repeats things a lot, but as a result of not wanting us to suffer she self sacrificed a lot, too much even for us.
Often would sperg out and throw the martyrdom at our head, but then would regret it later. Honestly I'm surprised she didn't break from all of this. Only reason she didn't kill herself was for us.
The problem is that this is not healthy for a child on any level.
As I could never do wrong, yet she often berated or nitpicked my sister to insanity.
I wasted a decade "going to college" (pretending basically) like the Welcome to the NHK guy and I was still the golden child. My sister finished college on a scholarship and whatnot.
She would also nitpick my one and only friend in the village at the time, alienating us forever after one instance where my friend "failed to greet her" (read… she didn't hear it because my friend usually muttered to himself)

Anyways after the divorce she provided me with enough comfort, so I don't really hate her.
I still live with her, I'm fully taken care of, can keep my entire pay for myself and she has mellowed out a lot too.
I think she sees herself a lot in me. I look a lot more like her than my dad too.
Maybe motherly instincts and this sense of comradery of the broken is conducive to enabling a manchild.

TL:DR; I legitimately regret not killing my father by taking one of his guns from the perma-open safe when I was a kid and I'm somewhat grateful to my mother for letting me be what I am undisturbed for the most part.

Mandating abortion for disabled fetuses is compassion, not eugenics

https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/16/magazine/unspeakable-conversations.html

This article was one of my favorite class readings in my undergrad Communication Ethics class way back in 2013. When I read it Peter Singer's ideas at the time outraged me, but living through my own experience as an autistic adult, and seeing my mom martyr herself to be a slave for my even more disabled brother has changed my perspective. My argument is simple: pre-natal testing for disabilities should be mandatory, and any fetus found to be possibly disabled should be subjected to a state mandated abortion.

My brother lives with Level 2 autism and severe mental illness. At the height of his illness he was a zombie and couldn't even wipe his own ass he had gained so much weight. While he is thankfully now living his best life, my mom continues to infantilize him, washing and wiping his ass and balls daily. She is at the point where she feels like she will have a heart attack if things don't change, but she also refuses to put him in a group home or even just re-teach him to be more independent. She thinks if she doesn't do everything for him that he will literally die.

Now these are consequences of capitalism, but even in a perfect socialist society that was compassionate to the disabled, we would still have a lower quality of life and be at a disadvantage than our neurotypical and/or able bodied peers. Severe OCD, anxiety, and ASD led me to give up on a lot of my career goals and dreams. I now work a simple wfh job doing the same daily repetitive tasks. If I didn't have these disabilities, I would be able to live on my own and probably could have become a filmmaker, public historian, archivist, etc. I'm really sick of disability activists saying we shouldn't try to cure disability, and hysterically claiming pre-natal testing is eugenics.

My mother is a nurse and she had to change jobs a few years ago because of fatasses at her last position. Basically she got massive into fitness a few years ago (but was always quite fit anyway) and was watching her diet alongside lifting weights and doing cardio etc. And the other fatfuck nurses would be offering sugar-laden cakes and buns and so forth at work and she would refuse and say something like "no, not for me" which turned the whole pod of fatties against her. So it got to the stage where she could barely do her job as they'd just ignore her requests or refuse to help with stuff. They were lazy sacks of shit as it was, but now it was actively affecting my mother's ability to do her job, and the care of patients, so she lodged a complaint and left for a position where the job required nurses to be more on their feet and hence in better shape, and she's been way happier since.

Scottish rock band Primal Scream reported to the police for displaying anti-israeli imagery

At a show in London.

I'm in a very cynical mood at the moment

this year in US politics at least has for me confirmed how prescient Marx's "first as a tragedy, then as a farce" statement is in describing fascism. we're at a point of being many layers removed from there even being any coherent image of nationalism for the far-right to latch onto because we no longer live in a world broadly where geographic borders mean anything, but unfortunately there's still enough of a reserve of temporarily-embarrassed small business owners who were fucked over in the 2000s by the contradictions in capital leading to a decline in the neoliberal western imperial core having any relevance or viability through anything other than the increasingly naked and incompetent exercise of brute force on a third world that has increasingly developed its productive forces. these petit-bourg types who form the base of fascist movements only latch onto an image of nationalism because they've seen it in media and feel justified to be bad now, like it's very obvious that none of them actually believe in any of this shit and that it's all a big cope about how the old world is dying.

it's odd today because right-parties say stuff that is kind of fascist, I see it most of all in the U.S. with Homeland Security and ICE, especially this weird HOI IV mod-inspired aesthetic that they put out on social media. But then Mamdani wins (he's also a "socialist") and then he meets Trump in the White House and they have a "productive conversation about lowering the cost of living for New Yorkers." It still falls back on that technocratic, apolitical and non-ideological framework when they do "politics."

It throws people who read a lot of ideology into these people for a spin. A lot of younger people change ideology so often because it's all memes. You change your ideology when the memes become cringe. Look at the ideologies adopted by 99 percent of people on any side. Marxist-Leninist. Catholic Integralist. Leftcom (Italian), Leftcom (Dutch-German), l/r/e/u/acc. Classical Fascist. NatSoc. SocDem. SocLib. AnCom. AnCap. It's hard to discern the actual positions between them that's either not that far removed from the center-left or center-right, or if edgier than that is not just contrarianism.

unfortunately it's also happening at enough of a pivotal point in history that the extinction burst fascist tantrum could succeed in dragging the rest of the world down with it.

Kneecap, Massive Attack, Garbage highlight fears for Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike in

Kneecap, Massive Attack and Garbage have highlighted their fears for a group of Palestine Acton prisoners on hunger strike in the UK.

Eight prisoners are among 24 protesters accused in relation to action at Elbit Systems ​in Filton near Bristol last year, as well as the so-called Brize Norton Five.

According to The Guardian, the Filton 24 are scheduled to be tried on charges of aggravated burglary, criminal damage and violent disorder in April next year. The Crown Prosecution Service said there was a “terrorism connection”, but no charges have been brought under the Terrorism Act.

Those on remand in relation to the damage of two Voyager aircraft during a protest at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on June 20 were previously charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage, and conspiracy to enter a prohibited place knowingly for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the UK.

They are not scheduled to stand trial until January 2027. Palestine Action claimed responsibility for both incidents.

Now, the likes of Kneecap’s Móglái Bap, Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja and Garbage have shared posts on their Instagram Stories from campaigners who claim that the prisoners “are currently being held without bail in British prisons” and to date “three hunger strikers have been hospitalised”.

Mothers Against Genocide Scotland have also accused the BBC of remaining silent on the issue and have urged them to report on this “urgent, life-threatening crisis,” adding: “We demand you fulfil that duty”.

NME has reached out to the BBC for comment.

Among the prisoners’ demands is the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which was banned under terrorism legislation in July and proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK government.

The group’s proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000 means membership or public support for the group is classified as a criminal offence and could result in up to 14 years in jail.

Last week a three-day judicial review of the Home Office’s unprecedented decision to ban the direct action group, alongside two Russian militias, ended in the High Court. A judgement is expected this week, according to The Observer.

Earlier this summer, Massive Attack slammed the government for allowing the arrest of “peaceful citizens” at a Palestine Action demonstration in London. Over 500 people were arrested at the huge protest in central London organised by the campaign group Defend Our Juries in August. Primal Scream also criticised the arrests.

Later that month, Hozier also used used his set at Reading Festival 2025 to speak out in support of Palestine Action.

The survey, which suggests that there is “a phenomenon of 're-Islamisation'" in France "accompanied by a worrying increase in adherence to Islamist ideology”, has been the subject of several legal complaints from Muslim organisations, who accused it of being “based on biased questions” to spread “the poison of hatred in the public sphere”.

Argentina's Milei submits labor reform proposal to Congress
The proposed labor bill will seek to give employers more flexibility on working hours and vacations, as well as modify the system of severance pay in order to reduce costs for companies. It also provides financial incentives for employers to hire workers on-the-books and allows salaries to be paid in foreign currencies. Unions have strongly opposed the bill, which also states that unions must receive authorization from employers to hold assemblies in the workplace and characterizes a union takeover or obstruction of entry to a workspace as a "very grave" infraction.

The bill’s centrist sponsor Paulinho da Força said it’s aimed at reconciliation and that if it’s adopted, the right-wing ex-president’s time behind bars could be reduced to two years and four months. But it would need to be sanctioned by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the leftist president has previously said he would veto it.

Trump administration issued ultimatum to ICC
The Trump administration is also demanding the ICC shelve investigations of Israeli politicians over the Gaza war, which has been recognised as a genocide by the United Nations, scholars and historians, and end an investigation into potential war crimes conducted by US troops in Afghanistan. If the ICC does not comply, it could face further sanctions against its staff and the court itself, an unnamed Trump administration official told Reuters.

UK's largest pro-Palestine prison hunger strike in decades sends activists to hospital
Kamran Ahmed, who has asthma, was again rushed to hospital after he became unable to stand following nearly a month of refusing food. He has been held on remand at HMP Pentonville in England for over a year after his arrest on 19 November last year in connection with a Palestine Action protest at an Elbit Systems arms facility in Filton, Bristol, which caused more than £1 million in damage.

The case is part of a series of investigations by special prosecutors into ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim, his wife, in the wake of Yoon's martial law order in December 2024.

Taiwan’s ban on mainland China app RedNote makes it a top download amid fierce pushback
The island’s interior ministry announced on Thursday it had ordered local telecoms and internet providers to block access to the app, also known as Xiaohongshu, for one year over “rising online fraud cases”. Authorities also cited a “lack of cooperation from its operator in Shanghai”. But the move has unleashed a wave of public criticism, with many accusing Taiwan’s ruling independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of overreach and damaging the island’s reputation for open internet access.

‘Yellow line’ that divides Gaza under Trump plan is ‘new border’ for Israel, says military chief
The Israeli army has built new concrete outposts along the “yellow line” to fortify its positions and declared it a lethal boundary, even though it is not always clearly marked and a ceasefire is in place. Soldiers have repeatedly killed Palestinians they accuse of crossing it, including young children. Concrete bollards laid out to mark some stretches of the line have also been used to expand Israel’s military occupation of Gaza. Satellite images show that some markers have been placed hundreds of metres beyond the boundary agreed on ceasefire maps.

Masuku eventually addressed the delegates on the decision of the SACP to contest the elections alone. “The decision to contest elections is not to contest the ANC. The decision to contest elections is contestation of elections, and this matter is a very critical matter because it has to do with the existential being of the party (SACP) because if the party cannot introduce socialism as a path, its existence will mean nothing.” Masuku says the SACP still remains committed to the alliance.

Brace Belden

AKA 'Brace Trueanon'
AKA 'Coindexter'
AKA 'Liz Trueanon's Husband'
AKA 'The Gourmand'

What do you make of him?
I'm genuinely not sure what to make of him. On the one hand, I think his show is really good about exposing some really nasty stuff.

On the other hand, the PKK/YPG was really obviously being used as a cover for US/Zionist imperialist ops. PKK-controlled territory operated (and operates?) illegal concentration camps (ostensibly for the "families of ISIS takfiris) in Syria on behalf of the American occupier. Although I used to believe anyone could just have volunteered for the YPG, I realized with Ukraine that sometimes groups will claim that they'll take anyone, regardless of experience, but will then reject most applicants on the grounds that they have no experience or useful skills. I don't know if the YPG claim to be recruiting anyone was a sham or not, but I do wonder in retrospect.

His cred as a unionist might be less questionable, but it wasn't exactly a great success story. He unionized a San Francisco brewery which was being run into the ground under foreign management, and then four years later, foreign management decided to scrap it for parts. I'm not saying I think every try will be a riveting success, but for a guy who is still identified as a prominent present day American labor organizer, this is one pretty monumental failure, and it's his entire record in this field. Like an eerie Japanese Dracula, Sapporo saki'd Anchor Brewing dry, with what ultimately amounted to little resistance from a supposedly militant labor union led by a former machine gunner.

What do you think?

Also, as an addendum, I hadn't realized this until reading about it just now, but apparently after Sapporo closed Anchor Brewing, they sold the brewery to a Turkish-born Kurdish-American guy named Hamdi Ulukaya, the CEO of Chobani.

Female-free movies

Does anyone else like watching old war movies because they have no women in them?

Picrel is my favorite and the best example of this:
-3 hour+ runtime and not a single female character with a speaking role.
-The only women in the movie are a handful of arab civilian background extras wearing burkas.
-T. E. Lawrence IRL was a celibate who disliked women and the movie stays true to this by not forcing a romance arc or making him gay.

Overall kino film which I highly recommend. Please share more examples of female-free cinema ITT.

China’s official media calls for end to name-and-shame campaign against grass-roots cadres
The article said this “label-based evaluation … smacked of sensationalism” and warned that it was a barrier to properly understanding the dilemmas and problems grass-roots officials faced. For example, it said, those accused of lying flat might not necessarily be lazy but could be suffering from physical and mental exhaustion as a result of an unfair workload. Alternatively, it said, they might be worried that officials who took the initiative were at greater risk of making mistakes and being punished as a result. It also expressed sympathy for those accused of lying on their side, saying they might face an overly strict authorisation process or have “nitpicking” superiors.

Australian state Labor government to impose life sentences on children as young as 14
The laws target children from 14 to 17 charged with offences including home invasion, carjacking and causing injury. Under the current Children’s Court system, the maximum sentence for any offence is three years. Under the new regime, children will be dragged before the County Court, where the same offences will carry the threat of adult penalties up to life imprisonment. The basic legal principle that detention should be a “last resort” for children—enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child—will be effectively abolished. Judges will instead be directed to prioritise “community safety,” a deliberately vague formulation that subordinates children’s futures to the political requirements of a government seeking to posture as “tough on crime.”

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.

Desserts, dessert pastries, baked goods, and confectionery

All around the world, people have devised delicious concoctions throughout the centuries… pies, cakes, cookies, pastries, dumplings, and all sorts of exciting delicious baked goods, traditional and contemporary. Here's a thread for posting about the cooking traditions and culture of the world!

But especially desserts.

Gloomycore

General gloom - noir, sadness, dark cabaret, depressive jazzy post-punk, dark jazz, wrist-slitters, and bleak black songs of various styles - singer/songwriter, jazz, rock, blues, folk, classical, experimental, ambient, as long as it sounds like deep, nocturnal misery.

Can China enforce sanctions through economic coercion?

No, because China doesn't control the international financial system. It can't bully other countries to not trade with Israel like the USA did with Cuba. The only way a blockade would be effective is if the entire world joined in against Israel, the same way the USSR and the USA did against South Africa. That won't happen in the case of Israel. Furthermore, the reason American sanctions are effective (or have been effective until now, as the sanction regimes against Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, etc. are clearly failing) is because they control the global financial system. Why doesn't China control the international financial system? Because it is not an imperialist power and does not desire to become one. Enforcing sanctions without total economic hegemony leads to cases like the notoriously ineffective EU sanctions against Russia.

Why doesn't China use its military to subjugate Israel and enforce Palestinian sovereignty? Becuase China can't project military power outside far away from its borders. Why? Because China is, again, not an imperialist power and it doesn not aspire to become an imperialist power.

They groom our children through memes

All these soyjaks, pepes, and other memes are made specifically to instill right-wing views in children and to remove the stigma around violence. They’re drawn cartoon characters, often looking cute, kind or cool — perfect for attracting teenagers or even kids.
First they joke about trans people committing suicide because it’s “funny”, then it turns into their actual views, and they go vote for Trump just to make things worse for those “transhumanists.”
The same goes for TND, Hyperborea, and other Nazi-related memes.

Mahmoud Khalil forced disappearance thread

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

From DropSite:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Your toughts on Tito?

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

It's simply a collaborative fork. If you want to help me, that's fine. No one is forcing you.

My Bloody Valentine joins the "No Music for Genocide" boycott

Iconic shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine joined the "No Music for Genocide" boycott, geo-blocking their music catalog on streaming platforms within ‘Israel’.

The move is part of a growing cultural protest against ‘Israel's’ actions in Gaza, urging artists to reject normalization and exert economic pressure on the music industry.

The campaign, launched on September 18, 2025, by a decentralized network of musicians and independent labels, calls on artists to geo-block their music in ‘Israel’ to reject normalization and exert economic pressure on the music industry.

Drawing inspiration from the cultural boycotts of apartheid-era South Africa and the music industry's response to Russia’s war with Ukraine in 2022, the initiative has rapidly grown from over 400 initial signatories to more than 1,000 artists and labels by late November 2025.

My Bloody Valentine's participation was highlighted in recent announcements alongside other new joiners, including rapper Denzel Curry, singer Shygirl, Paris Paloma, Vacations, Innervisions, Saba, and YHWH Nailgun.

The band, known for seminal albums like Loveless (1991) and their pioneering role in the shoegaze genre, has not issued a direct public statement on the decision.

However, frontman Kevin Shields has previously voiced criticism of US, UK, and ‘Israeli’ policies, stating in a 2025 interview: "The bad things done by the US - UK - Israel will not stop unless you make them stop."

Organizers of "No Music for Genocide" say that the boycott targets ‘Israel's’ violations, including nearly 500 reported breaches of the US-brokered ceasefire deal from October 2023.

Campaign participants argue that withholding music is a non-violent way to support Palestinians and align with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).

Earlier waves of joiners include prominent names such as Massive Attack, Fontaines D.C., Rina Sawayama, Japanese Breakfast, Lorde, Paramore, Hayley Williams, Björk, IDLES, Clairo, MUNA, Lucy Dacus, and the estate of Ryuichi Sakamoto.

In October 2025, artists like Clairo, Hot Chip, Nightmare on Wax, Orbital, and boygenius' Lucy Dacus also restricted their music in ‘Israel’, contributing to the boycott's momentum despite the ceasefire.

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.

Nuclear War

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

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

A time of unprecedented danger: It is 90 seconds to midnight

The Clock now stands at 90 seconds to midnight—the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been.
>As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned in August, the world has entered “a time of nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War.”

So, are you going to PROTECT AND SURVIVE, anon? Or are you just going to give up everything and die?

Image Format Wars

So apparently Palemoon became the first browser to officially implemented JPEG XL a week ago. At the same time, Google just dropped it from Chromium despite supporting it behind a flag for months. What the hell is going on here? Is Google that desperate to push their video-codecs-as-image-formats that they're willing to sabotage a massive step forward for the web? JPEG XL is capable of replacing both original JPEG, PNG, and animated GIF/PNG all at once with a single file type that produces superior file sizes for all three categories of use cases. Neither WebP, HEIC, nor AVIF were ever able to make such a broad, sweeping improvement because they are geared more towards features important to video encoding than still images or lossless animation.

It seems like every few weeks these days I find something new to get mad about in the world of web development.

Palestine Thread Pt. IX

Continued from >>489198

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

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

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US involvement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And much, much more!

Great chemistry between Krystal and Saagar in this episode.

Do you think she let him watch her pegging Kyle?

Simps are so fucking stupid, I stg. It’s not that women can’t have male friends, it’s that a woman preselecting male friends through a dating app is terrible because it implies that her male friends will be attracted to her and single. They will be constantly wanting to fuck her. This will either result in them fucking or them constantly orbiting her. Men and women can be friends, but that woman is preselecting for orbiters or people to cheat. Only a cuck would believe otherwise. Your “girlfriend” (if she even exists) is definitely cheating on you bro. You’re a fucking cuck. Her male “best friend” is fucking her raw in your shared bed. He drinks your Soylent (just for kicks), washes his balls with your face cloth, and plays your PS5 (buy better games).

what is your definition of a woman?

Is it a human female in her teens and twenties and early thirties? Or is it a female human over thirty-five.

Men are subconsciously hebephilic in their impression of women.
Young women get more sympathy than older women.
That is, if said young women are light-skinned, slim, curvy, cutesy-mannered, and agreeable.

Young women whom are none of those things are treated as defective.

Society is not a playing field exclusively for women. Only solipsism’s like yourself think so.
If men were to be removed from the earth, leaving women behind, you’ll see how “natural” the playing field is.

Blame chivalry, not feminism.

In fact if anything, feminism is the prodigal daughter of patriarchy

There is no point in dating Women because

Women don't exist.

Is this place less dead than the last time I checked up on it?

I had a dream in third person.

I was researching fascism, when it occurred to me, I never knew what the exactly the fasci (yes fasci not fasces) was and what is was for. So I went to Wikipedia, looked up fasci, and learned that it wasn't a weapon but a Roman ceremonial-olympic sport thing. The dream then became a screen recording of the Wikipedia page.
The fasci was made by taking a halberd-hammer thing and surrounding the staff with 5 or 6 pieces of wood, almost the same length as the staff, leaving a bit sticking out for both ends. Then, another layer of of wood 12 or 13 sticks are added and securing the bundle with a specific material. (The numbers are important but I can't remember what they actually were and I can't remember what the specific material was.) The thing about the fasci was that is was long, I think longer than a telephone pole. The sport involved participants standing the fasci upright, with the halberd facing forward and the hammer facing the athlete. The athlete would then step back and let it fall. The fasci would fall according to the "qualification" (For a lack of better words, the connotation of the "word" (When reading in dreams, I don't see comprehensible writing, I just get the feeling of a word.) is more mystical. Kind of like a chosen one but not destined one) of the athlete. If the athlete was qualified, the fasci would fall forward and cut a "thing of wood." (I don't know what that was really.) If the athlete was unqualified, the fasci would fall back, and the hammer would smash the athlete into a puddle. The Wikipage had three images in the margin. For some reason, it was in that medieval European art style and the athletes looked like peasants. The first one was a long image with the athlete standing up the fasci. The second one was a wide image and had the athlete qualify. It showed the fasci fall forward and cut the "thing of wood." (Not at all sure what that was) The third one was also a wide image. It depicted an unqualified athlete. The hammer of the fasci was laying in a puddle of blood. No pulp. Somehow, the Medieval artist were able to capture the motion in their image, and that, combined with all I found out, made me laugh IRL, while asleep. The dream then returned to thrid person, focusing on my face. My expression was that of a person who wouldn't mind learning more about this but was satisfied with what I had learned. FIN~

Italian General Strike November 28-29

Video: Italy General Strike & USB Union Appeal To US Workers For Action On Palestine Nov 28 & 29

The Italian union USB is going on a general strike on November 28th and will be rallying on November 29 against the genocide in Gaza. They are also appealing for US workers and unions including the ILWU & ILA to stop the movement of all cargo to Israel to stop the genocide and to work toward a general strike in the US.
"I am Francesco Staccioli, member of the national board of the USB Trade Confederation in Italy. Our comrades in United States with Disarmed Genocide, Labor for Palestine National Network, Lifeline for Palestine, and other groups are organizing in action in solidarity with Palestine on November 28th and November 29th."

US strike capabilties

How long do you think will western military dominance last?

With the recent strikes on Iran by the stealth bombers, and the helplessness of Venezuelan air defense it should be obvious:

The US air force is still the only globally operating dominating military. Their stealth tech can easily overwhelm smaller countries. China is not even 1% as active internationally when it comes to strike missions, and the creation of such a logistics network will take decades.

So how long do you figure will this dominance last? And if it ends, how? In my opinion it could only rot from within, the technical capabilities need to be constantly trained and a constant stream of competent people is needed.

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.

i like hambaga

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.

Nations and environmental groups slam proposals at UN climate talks, calling them too weak
Several 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.

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.

2. THE VACCINE WASN'T A VACCINE. REAL VACCINES YOU TAKE ONLY ONCE YEARS BEFORE AND ARE FOREVER SHIELDED, AND ALSO TAKE YEARS TO DEVELOP. TETNUS VACCINATED PEOPLE FOR EXAMPLE YOU NEVER GET TETNUS. THE FACT THAT BOOSTER SHOTS EVEN EXIST PROVES THAT THE COVID VACCINES AREN'T COVID VACCINES.

3. THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE WORLD'S AIRPORTS + THE DENSITY OF THE CITIES + THE EIGHT BILLION WORLD POPULATION = SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT A WORLDWIDE VIRUS PANDEMIC WAS INEVITABLE SOME TIME YES.

Polish president seeks to have Communist Party of Poland outlawed
His 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”.

‘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.”

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.)

Semen retention magick. Is it real?

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=etd

https://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.

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.



Maybe San Bernadino county since it's relatively close to LA and the rail connections are getting better going to LA. Also a lot of it is a real shithole, it could definitely use improvement.

Joining Leftist Insurgencies Abroad

My existence is a dead-end, I have no future, no friends, stuck in the middle of nowhere with two alcoholic workaholic parents on their way out. I've tried connecting with everyone; my neighbors, family, strangers online and on the street. No one. Every job listing is a fucking lie. I'm staring down a future of being on the streets. This is America, this place is a graveyard and nobody gives a shit.

The socialist parties here are blatant feds. I don't want to LARP, I want to matter. I have decent fitness and understand some of the basics of guerrilla warfare. I don't have any military experience and language is a possible barrier. How do I close this gap and join up? Where can I join actual leftist insurgencies abroad?

Virginia Giuffre dies "by suicide"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

…

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

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

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

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

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

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

The death will be investigated but is not considered suspicious.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Andrew has repeatedly and strongly denied the accusations.

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

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

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

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

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.

Taking estradiol to stop balding

So, I don't want to go bald. My body had other plans
No shame to bald guys, it's actually a bit of a turn on for me.
I looked up the effects of estrogen, it helps with hair and nails, as well as making skin softer and lips fuller.
I'm taking 5mg Finasteride and 1mg Estradiol. I still identify as a he/him male and have not ever wanted to be a woman. If I grow breasts from this I will have them removed. I'm fine with being a they/them nonbinary shemale type of person though.

Is this problematic?
I don't think so. I think everyone should explore the wild varieties their bodies can take, and hormones help with that!
