General Collecting Discussion Thread: Bourgeoisie Edition

A thread dedicated to the discussion of collecting stamps, coins, weapons, military awards, etcDo not buy items from sellers on eBay if they do not have an excellent reputation. On the web-site you can find copies of coins and badges that cost $10 each but people sell them as originals, so you are not safe even when buying cheap items. There are also web 1.0 style forums for professional collectors and dealers, like this onehttps://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/they are quite good and many people on them have decades of experience in collecting. These forums function like auctions and they are also very useful if you want to find out for free if your jewelry/coin/whatever is fake, or just take a look at people's collections.

What is up with society wanting to extend childhood nowadays?

18-24 are being treated as 13-17.

Is it millennials and zoomers wanting to save face for delayed maturation?

There’s an undercurrent of fear and disgust towards young people showing any interest or prowess in worldly affairs

There’s a lot of people saying “enjoy your youth” to entail “please remain awkward and mediocre until you’re thirty”

Boomers and the death of the incel

This article from a Wall Street magazine, hand wrings about how the Boomers finally leaving the workplace en masse is going to cause a labor shortage and a windfall for Gen Z.
This mass exodus from the workforce was supposed to happen 30 fucking years ago. But because of Boomers' staggering avarice and selfishness Boomers clung onto their jobs, homes and positions of authority as long as they absolutely could and now that even the very youngest of them are in their 60's, death, illness and just becoming outdated and unable to adapt to productivity increases with tools like AI, are forcing them out of the market.
The incel phenomenon is a purely economic issue. Now with 3rd wave feminism allowing women to earn a sustainable wage independently, men go from being a necessity to survive to a huge liability if they're not bringing something beyond a meager wage to the table.
And many men simply don't have anything to offer a partner than a wage. They're not handsome, refined, monied, and increasing not white (which in a de facto apartheid society does make a difference).
The labor glut created by the boomers that the boomers were themselves spared the effects of, created a huge underclass of young men that had to complete with entrenched boomers that built their political power during the greatest economic expansion in modern history.
Then the Boomers, with nothing else to do, stayed in the labor market 30 years longer than they were expected, creating a huge back pressure of labor demand that will be uncorked all at once in the next few years.
Incels are the complete product of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism that was built on the seemingly endless labor supply provided by the baby boomer population. Neoliberals are the brats of the post WWII explosion of in the rate of profit that the utter destruction of European capital in WWII caused. And these neoliberals thought that good times would last forever and did zero contingency planning.
Many Gen X'ers, Millennials, and Gen Z'ers comment on how 'good' the Boomers had it. Once this labor shortage starts in earnest, it will make those good times look quaint in comparison.
Younger generations are far and away more educated than Boomers are. Boomers actually had issues graduating high school, and the ones that did have something closer to a middle school level of education. That's why Boomer leaders like Trump, talk like a 12 year old.
In contrast Millennial and Gen Z have some of the highest rates of college degree completion rates ever recorded. And even the ones that never attended have higher reading and writing comprehension skills than boomers. Entire industries like social media, have been built on the fact that Millennials and Gen Z are articulate to a degree older generations never approached, contrary to all the bashing these young people endure.
It's literally a fact that if you walk into any university class today, that the students sitting there have the highest autism score of anyone that has every sat there in that university's history on average.
This gives Gen Z and Millennials a unique relationship to the means of production. Anyone can turn a wrench on a production line like Boomers did in the past, but highly education workers are not interchangeable. Not even between fields, you cannot replace a Hydraulic engineer with a Marketing major even if both of them have Master's degrees.
This will exponentially compound the leverage these younger workers have. There will be no huge Boomer pool of workers who bought a house in the 1980's for a fraction of what a home goes for now, that can comfortably tolerate suppressed wages decade after decade.
This will create a plethora of high wage earning men. Men that will be able to provide a lifestyle that will supersede any real or imagined golden age that preceded it like the 1950's. This will make them the most eligible bachelors in the world. People will be gobsmacked at the standards women have now. Think about it, so what if you're husband is a little ugly, when he provides a lifestyle that only a lawyer or doctor can now. Would you turn your nose up at that because someone's teeth are a little crooked?
Ironically, the boomers that yelled at 'incels' for being lazy and losers are the root cause of said incels. Once they're gone, so too will the incels.
It'll be interesting to see how Gen Z and Millennials use this new found economic power. Will they use it to seek revenge on Boomers? I think they will
Also it will be interesting to see how all these 'incels' react to suddenly being desired. I think they will feel betrayed and not date any of their fellow Western women. You'll see an explosion of passport bros that far outstrips the numbers we see today.
The deities of material forces have spoken. We will all ascend leftcel brothers, it is…inevitable.

Palestine Thread Pt. XI

Continued from >>492498

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 72,700. 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 900 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 involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

Renewed US/Israeli attacks on Iran led to the destruction of multiple US bases in west Asia and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

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. This series of violations prompted retaliation from Hezbollah, whose fiber optic drones have been virtually impossible for the occupation forces to counter.

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, and defends US bases in Syria.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders. Additionally, it was revealed that in April the ICC filed a warrant for the arrest of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Following the warrants, the Biden invited Yoav Gallant to the White House, and the Trump administration invited Netanyahu to the White House multiple times. Bezalel Smotrich then appeared at a pro-genocide march in NYC on May 31, 2026.

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. This repeated in May of 2026, when activists were abducted by the IOF from boats in international waters near Greece, and then again near Cyprus. The Greek and Cypriot governments have offered no resistance, nor have most nations whose citizens are now being freely bombed, abducted, and tortured by the IOF from boats in international waters while sailing to land which the Israelis have no rights over. The EU responded by sanctioning Hamas.

In June 2025, 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. El-Sisi's collaborationist government has, since, abducted activists for expressing sympathy with Palestine.

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. Western MSM later admitted even further IDF use of rape as torture.

The US congress has advanced an American-Israeli military integration plan with a provision in the 2027 draft US defence bill.

And much, much more!

Lebanon situation

Israel has been bombing Lebanon effectively extending it's ethnic cleansing into the country.

It's shitty to say this but did they not see this coming? They've been right there watching gaza get flattened, why didn't they go into debt and beg Iran, China and Russia for hardware to defend themselves? Why wasn't there a rifle every rooftop and an rpg on every balcony?

I'm actually serious, I don't believe such a small country couldn't fortify their defenses to the point where this could have been avoided.

I don't claim to understand the conflict between the Lebanese Armed Forces and Hezbollah, but if Communists in China could work with the Kuomintang to kick out Japanese fascists, they could have done more.

Reading

How much do you guys read a day (time, pages)? What do you consider ideal? Do you devote markedly more time/note-taking to theory/philosophy per page than other non-fiction or they pretty much the same?

Reading for the first time in years, I'm not really sure what I should be aiming for as a baseline, especially since my schedule is pretty open. I'm reading a rather long history book at the moment at the rate of about 20-50 pages a day, yet it takes me hours to get through due to extensive note-taking and writing down words I want to commit to memory. I enjoy it and it seems to pay off, but I can't deny it's almost prohibitively meticulous. There's so much I want to read between now and this time next year that I'll never get to if I keep this pace. Just wanna get a ballpark from you guys.

"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.

>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.

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.

Mainstream pop culture sucked even before AI

I hear shitlibs complaining about generative AI ruining art, and while I generally agree with them here I argue that mainstream culture was long gone even before AI took over. It obviously took a long time before it was ruined but games like Concord, Veilguard, Callisto Protocol, Andromeda, Starfield and Highguard were shit even if they didn't use AI while Clair Obscur was good despite using it. It seems like big corpos just want to crunch and rush everything up as much as possible while shoving every "current thing" up their asses along the way, with AI being just one of those "current things." Or perhaps the corpos just decided to pander to techbros instead of the wokies now? Regardless, it's clear to me that this process of decline of mainstream pop culture was happening for a long time. All this AAA slop is no better than AI slop to me so it's perfectly understandable why people are happy when AAA devs are fired, even though I'm not sure firing them is gonna fix the fundamental problems with these AAA giants.

Basically, just play indie games and watch indie movies, I think all this big-budget slop should have been euthanized (except for Eastern works, they're fine… other than isekai, romcoms, 3D donghua and TV dramas ig… and some Nintendo franchises).

Btw, what really grinds my gears about AI is that you can't afford any decent gaming hardware because of it. Also, DLSS 5 is hot garbage.

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.

La Pretenziosità delle Ragazze Giapponesi

Come molti di voi sapranno il Giappone ha un grosso problema in comune con l’Occidente, che è la denatalità.


I giapponesi non fanno più figli e in molti si stanno interrogando sulle cause di questo fenomeno. In questo articolo (https://archive.ph/BEcaT) ad esempio la ragione principale viene individuata nella difficoltà chehanno i più giovani di trovare un lavoro stabile e remunerativo.
Qualcuno però la pensa diversamente e sono i redpillati che vivono in Giappone, come quello che ha scritto questa risposta (ubermann su reddit) che mi è capitata sott’occhio e che ho deciso di tradurre (non dal giapponese, era scritto in inglese lol) perché penso sia molto interessante:

>Vivo in Giappone. Questo articolo è una stronzata ed è completamente fuori luogo. Ennesima prova che questi professori universitari non sanno di che parlano.


>Per capire come mai qui non si facciano più figli, esaminiamo alcuni punti riguardo al Giappone:


>Il Giappone è una società incredibilmente ginocentrica che mette le donne sul piedistallo in ogni aspetto della vita. Entrate

gratis nei locali (dove i fessi pagano anche 40$), sconti ovunque dai teatri ai bar, diverse serate per donne durante la settimana ecc.
Nessuno qui letteralmente si aspetta che le donne paghino per qualcosa, anche se hanno un buon lavoro e fanno un sacco di soldi. Sono andato ad appuntamenti con donne con una buona carriera e si aspettavano ugualmente che pagassi io il conto. Ci si aspetta semplicemente che le donne non paghino, punto. Indipendentemente da quanti soldi abbiano (nota: alcune pagano per loro stesse ma è raro, ed è inversamente proporzionale al loro aspetto)

>Il sesso avviene ovunque e non c’è nessuna stigmatizzazione sociale. Ci sono perfino hotel speciali (“hotel dell’amore”) che le coppie affittano per poche ore solo per scopare. Questa libertà comporta che le donne ignorino il 90% degli uomini e si scambino fra di loro il restante 10%. I Chad giapponesi stanno beccando più figa che mai, mentre i beta Taro sono relegati alla sezione porno dei negozi di DVD. Le donne giapponesi cavalcano il *cazzosello più a lungo delle occidentali, e non è raro trovare ventenni di Tokyo che hanno avuto un numero di uomini a 3 cifre.


>Le donne giapponesi sono molto fredde e calcolatrici, oserei dire più logiche delle occidentali. Questo comporta che esse vedano ogni persona e interazione nella loro vita attraverso una lente di “Come questo potrà darmi beneficio e cosa ne potrò ricavare?”. Sono note per circondarsi di schiere e satelliti a cui non la daranno mai e che usano solo per favori e servizi. E’ così onnipresente che c’era perfino un articolo su questo e su come le donne si vantino di ciò e abbiano anche dei nomignoli per questi ragazzi.


>Le donne giapponesi si sentono in diritto di reclamare i soldi di un uomo appena iniziano a frequentarlo. Laddove le coppie occidentali tendono a riunire il salario e a dividere le spese più o meno equamente, le donne giapponesi confiscano lo stipendio interamente e gli lasciano circa 10-15$ al giorno, tutto mentre stanno a casa a guardare fiction coreane e chiacchierare con le loro amiche in cafè costosi. Gli uomini giapponesi spesso scherzano dicendo che hanno due datori di lavoro: il loro capo e la loro moglie.


>Messa terra terra, molte hanno un pessimo carattere e sono semplicemente persone grezze e spiacevoli, con una perenne espressione scazzata e nessuna capacità di essere gentili con gli altri. Quando sono gentili è semplicemente perché hanno qualche interesse. Tendono ad essere miserabili la maggior parte delle volte e un passo falso con loro le porta a farti ricatti psicologici nel modo più brutale. Le giapponesi sono note per fare ricatti psicologici, lo fanno perfino con i MARITI.


>Gli uomini giapponesi possono essere seri *stacanovisti ma non sono stupidi: hanno visto i loro padri schiavizzati e bruciati, alcuni portati al suicidio, e hanno fatto due più due.


>Il risultato è che si sono accorti che il gioco non vale più la candela e stare single e godersi i soldi e gli hobby da scapoli, piuttosto che

infilarsi in una ingrata schiavitù a vita per un po’ di figa (che comunque la donna ti toglie appena fa un figlio, sono note per farlo).

>Ma per quelli che pensano che la rinuncia degli uomini cambierà il comportamento delle donne, la risposta è no, almeno non nel breve

termine.

>In Giappone molti uomini si sono ritirati dal mercato e le donne ancora non lo stanno notando.

Perché? Prima di tutto perché sono invisibili alle donne. Le donne scopano solo con gli uomini al top e non notano il 90% dei rimanenti. Stanno vivendo la migliore epoca di sempre.

>L’unico veramente colpito è il Governo, tradotto: meno tasse e meno futuri schiavi per loro.


>Alcune donne smettono con il cazzosello e incastrano qualche uomo beta obbediente prima dei 30 anni (che terranno come schiavo personale per il resto della vita), ma ho notato che molte non riescono a smettere in tempo e non trovano qualcuno con cui accoppiarsi e così sviluppano problemi mentali e ridirezionano il loro istinto materno a spingere carrozzine piene di cani ogni giorno.


>L’epidemia di cani qui è veramente folle, solo 6-7 anni fa pochi a Tokyo avevano cani, ma ora la città è piena di pazze rovinate che portano a spasso cani tutto il giorno.

Le strade dei quartieri residenziali sono tutte imbrattate di merda di cane e sono perlopiù donne stagionate che li possiedono.

>Ecco cos’è il Giappone. Non è qualche tecnologica utopia come i media occidentali amano dipingerlo.


>E’ una società in fase terminale di collasso. I robot non aiuteranno, l’intelligenza artificiale non aiuterà. L’omogeneità razziale non

aiuterà. Hanno semplicemente perso la capacità di relazionarsi con le persone ed essere umani con gli altri.”

Can one be a communist and a racialist?

https://www.jstor.org/stable/20098724

Many dismiss scientific racism as blatant lies, and while I can under that point since more often than not such faulty science is used to reify and justify inequality, I do think there’s a place for racialism (i.e., the acknowledgment that humanity is sub-divided into different biological taxa known as races) in communist thought as opposed to racism (the notion that biological racial differences justifies oppression).

Indeed, in Soviet history “scientific racism” as a discipline was widely adopted in the USSR, with Craniometry being widely used as a way to measure differences between races, and the Linnean system of racial classification was en vogue across Soviet history even long after Sweden abandoned it.

And this legacy remains in the form of Russian and Chinese anthropologists being more likely to believe in the concept of races as being rooted in biology compared to their western counterparts: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15666627?dopt=Abstract

Now: Yes, race is a social construct, but only insofar that “subspecies” is as shown by how taxonomists in the field of zoology can’t agree on which subspecies should be counted as a separate species or not (e.g., the Dingo), considering how both race and subspecies are ultimately based on genetics, which is a material reality.

One of the first and most important who tried to deny the existence of human races on a genetic level is certainly Richard Lewontin.

In 1972, following his studies, Lewontin stated that "about 85% of human genetic variability is due to individual differences within populations and only 15% is due to differences between different populations or ethnic groups". With this he comes to the following conclusions:

Racial classification has no genetic or taxonomic significance

Two individuals taken at random from any group are as different from each other as two individuals taken at random from the whole world

Two individuals are different in that they are individuals and not because they belong to different races and you can't tell someone's race from their genes

In drawing these conclusions, however, Lewontin makes a statistical error, which is objected to him by A.F.W. Edwards in 2003, that is to analyze the data as if the variables were not related to each other and to draw conclusions only on the basis of this analysis.

However, the explanation for the diversity between human groups lies precisely in the correlations between the variables and these relationships can be extracted using sorting techniques and group analysis (cluster analysis), which are commonly used in modern human genetics. Edwards argued that "even if the probability of not being able to racially classify an individual based on the frequency of alleles

In a single locus is 30%, the probability of incorrect classification is close to zero if enough loci are analyzed".

That doesn’t mean biological determinism. After all, society grants men and women more or less the same rights despite acknowledging biological differences between males and females (hence why there are no maternity wards for men, for example).

But of course, for a communist, as long as class analysis and economics remains the dominant framework, then it is possible to acknowledge racial biological differences much the same way biological sexual differences are. The key is not to let race displace class as the main contradiction, nor let biological determinism take over. After all, the USSR acknowledged racial differences without recognising racial hierarchies.

My thoughts on AI

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

Red Terror 101: On moralists and their BS

You can’t be a communist and support the AoC. It’s impossible. Why? Let us analyze the question dialectically. To start no communist should be using rhetoric about the Epstein affair other than in a completely self-interested way to delegitimize the system. Why? Because revolution is not a dinner party. It requires red terror. The foundation of the dictatorship of the proletariat is red terror. Red terror must be like the air we breathe. Can you really be angry about the age of consent and Epstein while practicing red terror? It’s only possible while using it as prop to manipulate the most cattle-like normies, the most alternatively petit-bourgeoisied or lumpenized segments of the proletariat. But the limits very soon become apparent. The weepy soccer mom evangelical moralism that leads people to grand emotional outpouring over Epstein’s sexual relations with teens is incompatible with the titanium spine required to practice red terror. Red terror requires hard and ruthless new men who will do anything to destroy the class enemy— this cannot be reconciled with weepy pseudo-Christian moralism that leads he average normie to have psychosexual emotional meltdowns over the fact that some Jewish guy had sex below the magic age line. If you search your heart you know this to be true

A starving woman in a relationship with a pedophile (Russian) where both have a rape fetish (Jewish in her case)? That’s just an IRL version of ED twitter and ya the context and the location makes it a bit dicey/problematic.

Vote discussion, explaination of methodology, and general on goings of the congress

This sticky will be for discussion about the on goings of votes currently happening in the congress.
All votes that happen in the congress must be required to be posted here upon their establishment as a vote in the voting hall.

For anyone who is not aware:

Every single person on this board is entitled one vote on the matrix for any vote that is taking place on sed matrix. Voting functions as follows: Firstly you must join the matrix upon which you will enter a vetting room. The vetting is pretty much to make sure you are not a poltard and that you follow some tenant of socialism, nothing more.

After you are vetted you will be added to the chat, the voting hall and the congress respectively. Any anon may make any proposal at any time
In order for a proposal to become a vote, firstly, a proposal must be created (duh); simply make a post in the votting hall declaring your proposal.
A proposal must receive two thumbs up by two other congress members other than the person who drafted the proposal.

After you get two thumbs up you, or any other congress member, may open up a vote by declaring that it is a vote, a short summary of what the vote is over, and a date and a time for when the vote will conclude.
In order for a vote to pass there must be a civil majority (no ties) from the time the vote opens to the time the vote closes. Votes close, nominally after 3 days from the time they are start, but, if a majority of 6 or more anons over overwhelmingly support the proposal then the vote can be fast tracked to 24 hours upon such a threshold being reached. One last thing: A vote that is deemed critical cannot be fast tracked.
The numbers required for a proposal to become a vote and fast tracking are subject to change as the congress grows, fyi.

That's really all there is too it. As I stated in the news post I implore any current users to join the congress who already haven't and give feed back and cast your vote you are entitled too/make proposals etc etc.

Currently existing votes

1. Creation of /i/ - Currently fast tracked with an over whelming majority

2. Opening communication with the org - Currently has an over whelming majority, but, is considered a critical matter so it cannot be fast tracked.

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.”

Pakistan air strikes in Afghanistan spark Taliban warning of retaliation

From AJ yesterday:
The first cross-border strike inside Afghanistan since March came after a spate of attacks by the Pakistan Taliban.
Islamabad, Pakistan – The Pakistani military conducted air raids in neighbouring Afghanistan late on Tuesday night, targeting hideouts of the Pakistan Taliban, known by the acronym TTP, armed group in Paktika province, according to security officials.

While no official statement was issued by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that the attacks took place in the Barmal district of Afghanistan, near Pakistan’s South Waziristan tribal district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The interim Afghan government, ruled by the Taliban, also confirmed the attacks but insisted that civilians had been targeted. The Taliban spokesperson’s office told Al Jazeera that at least 46 people, including women and children, were among those killed in air raids.

“The Pakistani side should understand that such arbitrary measures are not a solution to any problem,” Enayatullah Khowarazami, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry, wrote on social media platform X. “The Islamic Emirate will not leave this cowardly act unanswered and considers the defense of its territory an inalienable right,” he added, referring to Afghanistan by the name given by the Taliban government.

The air raids, which were conducted for the second time this year, came just hours after Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadi, met interim Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul.

“Met Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi today. Held wide-ranging discussions. Agreed to work together to further strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote peace and progress in the region,” Sadiq posted on X.

The Jesus Deception

Good book on Jesus’ historicity, analysing not just every argument on the historical Christ but also giving a holistic assessment on how Christianity likely came to be, with a vigorous reference section. If you don’t want to buy it on Amazon, it’s available at z-library (link not given to avoid piracy charges).

Inb4:
>Muh Adam Green
>Muh Bart Ehrman
>Muh consensus
>Muh Christophobia

Yadda yadda, I know who Adam Green is, about the Ehrman talking point, and how this subject can be touchy to both Christcuck and e-crusader secularised midwits here, so I’ll be blunt here:

Adam Green’s background doesn’t invalidate his broader points on Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus Christ’s existence

The “consensus” doesn’t mean much since it’s mostly made up of Christians and Christian-sympathisers who engage in confirmation bias and gatekeeping to discourage any critical opinion on the historical Christ theory. Given that Ehrman himself relies on this very unreliable consensus for his book on Jesus’ historicity

Not believing in Jesus’ existence as a historical figure isn’t anti-Christian as many non-mainstream Christian sects like the early Church-era marcionites and gnostics assert the notion of a mythical non-physical Christ. On the top of that, much of Judaism (and by extension Zionism) rests on the notion of the Old Testament as being 100% true and historically accurate text, whilst Islamic doctrine holds the existence of a historical Christ. So by negating the existence of a historical Christ, and by extension undermining the value of the Old Testament as a historical text, Christianity and Islam and Judaism are effectively undermined

With that out of the way, let me be clear that I’m not 100% confident in Christ’s non-existence, but nevertheless I’m not convinced on the existence of Christ as a historical figure for the following reasons:

There’s no evidence for the existence of Christ dating back to when he was canonically alive. Every alleged proof for his existence as a historical figure date back to decades and even centuries after his death.

There’s no mention of a Jesus Christ being crucified in any surviving Roman documents.

There’s far and few in-between evidence attesting to Jesus’ existence beyond the gospels, which are themselves unreliable and of dubious historicity as pointed out by Russell Gmirkin and Robert M Price.

Among the non-Christian sources, none of them are contemporary to the canonical Christ’s lifetime (i.e., the 1st century) despite Jewish concerns at the time being well-documented. And of the ones that exist, most either repeat earlier hearsays about Christ without actually investigating them (e.g., Tacitus and Pliny the younger), ambiguous and subject to heavy debates (e.g., Lucian and Suetonius) or outright forgeries whose veracity rests on Christian interpolation (e..g., Josephus’ passage). But the thing is, all of them either never tried to prove the hearsays in 1st century AD Judea, or were born after Christ’s canonical death (which for the record, was determined centuries after his death, with early Christians themselves disagreeing on when he was born and died), so they aren’t even contemporary sources at all, let alone independent ones, especially as by the time Tacitus and Josephus wrote about Christ he was already dead by then + the gospels were already spreading.

There are no Roman records that mention Jesus. Not only all that, but, there are no Christian eye-witnesses of Jesus. All of the Gospels are anonymous and written by friends-of-friends, and none are written in the first person; also, Paul (who authored 13 of the 27 books of the NT) never met Jesus, except in a vision. They're also written in very competent Greek (the language of later converts), rather than in Hebrew (the language of the original converts, excepting Paul).

Going back to the gospels, they are just fictional tales derived from the Old Testament authored by many people throughout history. The Dead Sea Scrolls and other manuscripts don’t necessarily prove the historicity of the gospels nor that there was just one author, at best it only proves that said tales were already in wide circulation, especially as there’s no evidence of a complete Bible contemporary to Christ’s lifetime. Unless you believe in the resurrection and the miracles and the existence of the biblical floods and the GIGANTIC kingdoms of Israel and that of King Solomon, then the gospels themselves become unreliable as proofs for Christ’s existence as a historical figure.

With that said, maybe there was a thought leader in some Jewish splinter group called “Jesus Christ” or something to that effect, but there’s no compelling evidence that the Jesus Christ that we are familiar with has ever existed at all.

Hopefully this thread won’t devolve into a flame war, I hope.

Mankind Child of the Stars by Max H. Flindt

Is Earth a colony established by creatures from Outerspace?

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

/INT/ - Intuition

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How do I un-blackpill myself?

I'm a few years from reaching thirty, currently have no friends and never had sex or even kissed a girl. But lately it has been driving home a lot harder. The blackpill reminds me of how worthless my shitty existence is. I'm posting here out of despair. Women have high physical standards. Women (especially physically unfit women) want men more physically fit than them, and physically inferior men have it hard. Women are having a ton of sex with a different attractive man each week while I'm sitting here all alone. The blackpill made me realize how much of a worthless reject I am to society. I am nothing. No women I've ever met wanted to befriend/get into a relationship with me. I'll never breed because I'm unattractive, introvert and physically unfit, I hate myself with a burning passion. Why did I have to be cursed with being a repulsive low value male?
As we grow up, I think that society and the media feed us this idea that many of us just don't think to question. I don't smoke, I don't drink. But life isn't like those movies. More than five years ago, I started giving up entirely on being in the kind of relationship that I dreamed of for years. It was a humble, clean dream of togetherness, symbiosis and trust that I realized will never come true, and made me so depressed that I crippled my future over it. I failed completely. Nothing is right. How can I ever trust any woman? I am jealous as to how easy most people start a romantic or sexual relationship. I seem to find no other way to let go from being obsessed with girls without feeling resentment. It's an inescapable catch-22. Women want men that are desired, and if you can't find a woman that finds you desirable, than no other woman will. It's a very lonely miserable existence. I don't know what to do anymore. Is it worth it to change myself and become a better person? Basically what I'm asking is how do I un-blackpill myself?

Did Christianity in America decline in numbers for being anti-racist?

One common stereotype regarding today’s western atheists is that they are predominantly white, male, and from Christian backgrounds, and this demographic profile stands to this day based on the latest polls on the atheist community.

And as pointed out by people like Contrapoints, both the alt-right and the SJWs of the 2010s were products of the New Atheism movement, the bulk of its members being, once again, white males from Christian households.
So this begs the question: Did they leave because the churches weren’t racist enough following the adoption of the civil rights movement’s philosophy by most churches in the 1990s?

As polemical and farfetched as it sounds, I don’t necessarily think it’s improbable given the obvious demographic profile, the fact that the decline in Christianity (in America, Canada, and Australia at least) and rise of sub-cultures were heavily driven by young middle-class white people (especially white men) who left the churches, and that was back when the churches were at least nominally anti-racist following the decline of the white nationalist movement as a significant political bloc in both the north and the new south, as well as the fact that whilst elevatorgate did drive many young white atheist men into further reactionary politics (e.g., the “redpill”, incels, scientific racism, transphobia, etc…) the reactionary streak was there since the beginning as the “four horsemen” used bait-and-switch tactics in their writings to sell the message during the GWOT era: “You don’t need to be a fundamentalist Christian to support another crusade in Iraq”, as well as the universalist civilisational rhetoric. and that was long before the “horsemen” like Harris and Dawkins began to promote a particularist view of the west as it becomes clear that its hegemony is being challenged by nominally non-liberal countries like Russia and China.

There’s also the fact that Christianity in America and elsewhere in what made up old Christendom hasn’t gained any more followers outside of mass immigration as seen how churches across Europe and elsewhere in north America and Australia need to import priests to fill the roles of the clergy as white people there don’t wanna work in churches. While it can be argued that much of it is to do with how Christianity’s universalism is clashing with the increasing particularism of white people who only want Christianity if it affirms white identitarianism, that still wouldn’t support the notion that Christianity declined when it was conservative, as churches became progressive in America in the 2010s and yet still failed to gain converts in a self-sustaining way that didn’t rely on mass immigration. Matter of fact, the new “great awakening” is occurring just as Christian’s politics has shifted further to the right and became increasingly associated with the alt-right. Examples of it include every western populist politician, and Nick Fuentes. All in all, it does support my idea that Christianity in the west has largely survived thanks to contradictory and often fragile coalition-building involving both white nationalists and liberals.
But I do have some doubts about it since the thesis largely relies on connecting the dots more than anything else.

So, is it true?

Still, my major issue with them is that they tend to shill for whatever policies their camp is pushing, with pro-Israel, pro-NATO, pro-deportation and pro-life policies on the right and pro-Putin, pro-BRICS, pro-war… and pro-life… policies on the left.

The white tether phenomenon in America and it’s consequences

This is an issue every American leftist must grapple with: If immigration doesn’t increase proletarian unity, then it’s detrimental. An example would be the post-1945 wave of reactionary immigrants and refugees such as the gusanos, Vietnamese-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Korean-Americans, Israelis and Iranian-Americans who live in the USA and undermine class struggle by engaging in reactionary politics and manufacturing consent for the imperialist war machine, on the top of serving as tools for counterintelligence against communist states and non-communist rivals of the trans-Atlantic empire like Russia.

Case in point, the Pahlavist Iranian Americans who want to send American people to die for their selfish war against the Islamic Republic of Iran so that the Islamic government can be replaced with an oppressive capitalist secular monarchy that will act as an American and Israeli puppet state, much like modern Syria is. And guess what? Not only are said Pahlavists a bunch of racist supremacists who unironically believe that their “Persia” would be a superpower if it wasn’t for the damn ayabs, but they feel little to no tie with the American nation, instead viewing it as a tool for their ethno-narcissistic ends.

Vietnamese-Americans, Korean-Americans and Chinese Americans are similar to the Cuban gusanos in that they’re often staunchly rightoid nutjobs and anti-communist grifters trying to agitate America for forever wars in Asia to put them at the helm of their countries of origin after the government they dislike gets overthrown and it’s easy for them to support such ventures since ultimately it’s Americans who have to pay for it via their lives and wealth. A similar dynamic goes on with the Pahlavist tethers, even though the price will be NGO-isation and civil war in their country of origin. The case of East Asian tethers is interesting in that even the chuds in east Asia, despite their relatively high living standards, are so devoid of culture that both them and their diaspora get enamored by low-brow chud slop. Case in point, Twitter reactionary influencers Andy Ngo, Arthur Kwon Lee, Kangmin Lee, Ian Miles Cheong, the entirety of the Falun Gong cult with outlets like the Epoch Times, etc… are some of the ones to comes to mind. Not sure why East Asians pivot to chudslop, but I think that goes to show how Mao was right when he launched China’s cultural revolution.

Another extreme and more recent examples are the Boers of SA that live abroad who for decades have launched a right-wing propaganda campaign aimed at bullshitting westerners about an alleged “white genocide” taking place in post-apartheid SA despite most murder victims there being black people at the hands of other black people, with the white Afrikaners constituting a great part of SA’s upper class to this day who also happen to own most of SA’s land. Nowadays its standard consensus among chuds that the relatively few numbers of black-on-white murder in South Africa constitutes “white genocide” that is only allowed to happen because of white guilt and the benevolence of Afrikaners. Elon Musk is a good example of that, what with him being a cosmopolitan fascist multimillionaire and plutocrat who pushes the “white genocide in South Africa” hoax to push for US military intervention in SA and re-establish a Zionist white ethnostate in Southern Africa.

Same goes for the Europoids, Canucks, kiwis and Canucks that are part of the chudintern who try to convince Americans that their issue are Americans’ issue as well even those most of ‘em barely give a fuck about America besides finding within white America an audience for their minstrel show. Drew Pavlou, Keith Woods, Rupert Murdoch, Ezra Levant, Joel Davis, Mario Nawfal, Posie Parker, Paul Elam, the authors of webcomics Americaman (Dutch) and SksCartoon (Kiwi), Aimee Terese, etc… are some of the more well-known examples.

Borrowing from ADOS vocabulary (crazy, I know), they are essentially tethers to white America who are imported solely to undermine the proletarian class struggle at home. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if these tethers were imported after WW2 with the specific intent of avoiding something like the militant leftism that preceded the first and second American red scares which, in large part, was due to the influx of southern, central, northern and Eastern European leftists pouring into America and giving new life to America’s labor movements.

This I know as I often asked Vietnamese/Iranian/Cuban/Venezuelan/Chinese tethers how exactly would America going to war against Vietnam/Iran/Cuba/Venezuela/PRC help the average American in concrete ways, and the amount of blank stares and waffling that I received was mind opening, to say the least.

Compare and contrast to the Ellis Islander-type immigrants of late 19th century/early 20th century America from eastern and southern Europe, many of whom were left-wing radicals that gave life to the American left in ways that affect today’s America to this day, especially as they are partially responsible for the working-class culture present in major American cities like Chicago and NYC.

The Indigenous Spook

The indigenous spectre is pissing me off. I want some other perspectives.

In a word, there is no inherent value in indigenousness. There is no inherent righteousness in being indigenous. All so-called indigenous peoples were originally settlers, and there is no special snapshot in history where it is 'right' to return to, nor any philosophical fairness in halting or reverting to any point.

That isn't to say we shouldn't oppose the oppression of indigenous populations in colonial settlements, nor oppose these capitalist imperialist projects, nor dismiss the unique connections that indigenous people tend to have with land. But the solution should almost never be RETVRN or reactionary nationalist 'landback' crap.

The Zionist Regime should be destroyed, but not because the Arab Palestinian nationals somehow have a right to the place either. No nationality has a special right to any territory.

Working at a plant, mill, rig, refinery, factory and any type of converting facility will literally kill you.
Not just physically, mentally, spiritually, it will grind you down into literal dust until you just give up. Completely.
Sure the "money is good" but at what cost? It's not even just the face value money you make. 25+ dollars an hour is great, but, it's really the over time. That is how all these people walking around at these big factories and big jobs in your towns make so much money. They work themselves to death. Myself included.
In the last 2 months I have had around 4 days off. The money is amazing, but, that is the cost; The trade off, if you will.
I exchange not just my time, but, my literal, physical, mental and spiritual essence and receive cash. I don't really have a choice either because you don't have to work over time but it isn't looked at as "being a dedicated employee" otherwise. I don't know how much more of this shit I can take, man.

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.

>viewed as a normative form of attraction throughout history before feminism; boys are pretty and lack adult male features which are repellent, therefore it isn't gay, and is perfectly masculine behaviour
>it isn't gay from the boy's perspective, because they have a higher sex drive and are more prone to sexual experimentation
>celebrated as a superlative form of relationship by the Greeks; considered instrumental in the healthy development of boys personalities
>creates strong, masculine bonds between males which can not be broken; see the Sacred Band of Thebes
>devalues women by providing an alternative to the roastie paradigm, invalidating their holes, which weakens women's pernicious influence on society
>the theory that it causes psychological harm to the younger participant is debunked pseudoscience (read Rind et al. and Newgon); negative effects primarily occur due to harsh cultural opposition to the practice, resulting in unnecessary criminal and psychiatric proceedings
>most harsh opposition traditionally comes from judaism (via Christianity) and feminism; virtually all pre-Christian European societies partook in the practice of pederasty
>allows boys to socialize with adults and connect with the adult world in an intimate way
>provides men with a powerful incentive to direct attention towards younger generations

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.

What's the best LLM chatbot?

I was messing around with free chatbots, got bored of their copypasted and formulaic responses and then I find out that there are premium versions of them? And then I find out there are FLOSS Chinese LLMs? And apparently Deepseek V4 got released which is way more precise while being way less resource-hungry? I'm so confused.

My questions are:
>What is the best LLM chatbot?
>What is the best FLOSS LLM chatbot?
>How do both of them compare?

In my experience, Claude seems to be the best and GPT is hot garbage but I've only tried their free versions so I don't know how their paid versions stack up.

When i purchased a new phone a while back, the salesman called someone else to help him, this person set up my phone pre-accounts, when he did so he took my picture with the device, then told me to press my lips together and whistle, then,, of all things 'sing a tune in your head'. There is something else about the device i cannot disclose or i will dox myself.
I can't go into my lifes current state of events, but i assure you there is a lot happening.
I need to understand what this was about, i think i already know but i must confirm it as this would say there's technology connected to me that only a couple of 'entities' on earth would even have access to. It seems they knew ahead of time i was going in to purchase a new device, as i had an 'escort' that time and a previous time when i had an incident where there was indications someone had cloned my sim and i needed the old one rendered useless and replaced. It seems i've been of use and importance to people, and also somewhat used in a way, as i was also called a patsy and its just a XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXX was what was said. considering my work, and location i have been used to keep an eye on foreign entities, although the full story on things would double the size of this entire category.

Tattoos Are the Adult Version of a Toddler’s Sticker

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

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

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

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

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

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

Some really nice looking girls told me that.

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

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

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

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?

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.

Roe No More and Feminism's Demise

Feminism has failed to defend one of it's core tenants, the right to abortions. This shows what leftcels and some non-spooked Marxists have always said about feminism, that it is the ideology of the bourgeois. Feminists had 50 years since the Roe vs Wade ruling to codify the right to abortions into law but were unwilling to pay the political price for such self-assertion and passed on the burden to future feminists year after year until we come to now, where Republicans are now on the cusp of passing an official federal abortion ban with the "heartbeat bill".
During these 50 years feminists were far more interested in chasing idealists ghosts like male gaze which lead to cultural wars over pornography, prostitution, and even silly things like bikini clad female characters in videogames.
More destructive was their successful passage of female supremacist laws that made men guilty until proven innocent of any sexual assault allegations with cancel culture or of domestic violence accusations because of the Duluth model. Made men personal debt serfs to their children's mother via brutal child support laws. They also tirelessly attacked their masculinity and very being with the weaponization of the LGBT rights movement which frames all men and masculinity as wrong and harmful to women and society and upholds androgyny and male homosexuality as the only "safe" way a male can be a sexual being. And finally made males forfeit half their property and future with no-fault-divorce even, as the name implies, when they've done nothing wrong.
This has gone on to completely destroy gender relations as evidenced by the consistently declining marriage rate, the growing number of sexless men and the explosion of incels in the west.
Which has alienated men from women and their struggles, which is why the groundswell against the end of Roe v Wade has been about as impactful as a wet fart. Men do not care about women, and in fact cannot care about women because feminism has made doing so be to their own determent.
With abortion being banned, there is literally no point in feminism. It is an ideology with nothing to offer materially, and is little different than a religion or Marvel Movie fandom, and this all due to feminists hatred of men.
Feminism now shuffles off into the dustbin of history, whatever ideology replaces it will have to offer liberation for BOTH genders because it will generations before people forget about the damage a female only gender movement caused.

i hate wikipedia so fucking much

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

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

Even though this is one of the slowest boards on the site, and I haven't fucking posted a single thing here in forever, there's something a little extra disheartening somehow whenever I see one of the two semi-active threads on this board bumped. There are multiple reasons why I don't show my bf Leftychan, but somehow the fact that our LGBT board is dominated by a "gay incel" thread and a "femboys with vaginas" thread where posters fail to correctly identify the difference between FTM and MTF just adds a little extra embarrassment. Like… when I'm picked up in the coming "anti-antifa" stings, I know the media or somebody will be going through my browser history, and they'll come across this site where anons posted about being "gay incels."

Like, we created this whole extra board and it's just this pathetic sadness. Oh, or occasionally a fedbait/rainbow scare thread shows up, too. It's honestly pretty tame by comparison to some of the inane bullshit that gets posted on this site, but somehow as a gay guy it's even more embarrassing by association.

Materialist Analysis of the Polanski Scandal

This essay is devoted to an analysis of the several articles that were written by a number of different authors on the liberal/progressive news site Salon.com regarding the belated 2009 arrest of hebephile celebrity Roman Polanski. After reading these articles, I was so incensed due to, once again, seeing those who consider themselves progressives and liberals attacking Polanski for having sex with a girl under the Magic Age in such a mindless and ignorant manner, without even once deviating from the morally absolutist script that Western culture has dictated to our society about this uber-controversial subject.

As usual, the progressives were doing their part to add to the sex abuse hysteria pervading our society, which includes the single-minded condemnation of intergenerational sex as part of its component, and with as little reasoned thought as any writer who deems themselves a social conservative. And some of the authors of these articles were progressives that I usually respect, until I see them writing mindless drivel like this to join in on the sex hysteria bandwagon. And to think these progressives frequently assail the liberal politicians for caving into support for the neocons' endless wars of aggression and failing to challenge or even think critically about the neocon conventional wisdom regarding the need for presidents to be warmongers. Hence, this refutation of their specious claims about the Polanski media circus.

Let's begin with the article from one of my favorite and most respected bloggers, Gene Lyons. His article on this topic carried the title "There's A Special Place In Hell For Roman Polanski," so right away you see how free of bias it's going to be. Let's look at some quotes from Lyons, followed by my responses.

<Lyons:

>"Everybody's least favorite character is French/Polish film director Roman Polanski. Except for a few Hollywood fools and European intellectuals who express the perverse belief that art excuses all crimes, hardly anybody would be upset to see Polanski go to prison. (In polls, ordinary Poles and Frenchmen reject the art alibi by large majorities.) As one who thinks his film 'Chinatown' a masterpiece, I don't much care what happens to him."

I will start by saying that I agree with Lyons that just because someone is a renowned and talented artist (in Polanski's case, a filmmaker) doesn't mean they should be given special license to commit crimes. What I am questioning here, however, is whether or not we should possibly question the perceived wisdom of certain laws. Lyons says that Polanski is "everyone's least favorite character."
That's a rather odd thing for a progressive to conclude, because I would imagine that any "neocon" politician who wage preemptive wars of aggression that kill numerous innocent civilians and erode our civil liberties at home, as well as genuine terrorists who attempt to blow up innocent people along with themselves, would rank higher on such a person's list of "least favorite characters" in the world. But instead, a progressive concludes that a man who had sex with a girl who was under the Magic Age and never actually killed anyone nor waged a preemptive war that killed thousands of innocent civilians is worse than any of them on the villain meter. I would expect someone who considers themselves a social conservative to say such a thing (after all, such moralism fixated people have said that the issue of preventing the legitimization of gay marriage is the most important issue in America) but to hear a progressive utter such words is beyond belief. Or, rather, should be beyond belief if it wasn't for the extreme PC interpretation of this issue all too often seen from anyone of any belief system in the present day sex abuse hysteria and moral panic. And anyone who does question the dubious wisdom described above is, according to Lyons, a "fool." And this is someone who routinely complains about how anyone who questions the sacred wisdom of the neocons that the American government is always right no matter what it does are "un-American" and "traitors."

Rains revive Iraq’s wetlands after years of drought

Much-needed rain is bringing life back to the ancient ecosystem of the Huwaizah Marshes, after years

A fishing boat glides across the waters of Iraq’s southern marshes, sending ripples shimmering over the once-parched wetlands, now revived by long-awaited rains.

Running through almost the entire Huwaizah Marshes, the returning water is dotted with patches of greenery, with buffaloes soaking in it or wandering slowly nearby, grazing on the lush grass.

Overhead, birds of many kinds flutter, their movements mirrored in the still water below, part of the protected biodiversity of these millennia-old Mesopotamian wetlands.

Years of drought, blamed on climate change and upstream dams in neighbouring countries, have ravaged Iraq’s marshes – the reputed home of the biblical Garden of Eden – nestled between the mighty Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

But a few rainy spells this winter have revived hope among residents and admirers alike.

As he sailed his long wooden boat, wearing his white abaya and keffiyeh, fisherman Kazem Kasid told the AFP news agency that “life will return, along with the fish and livestock, and people will feel that their homeland and future have been restored”.

Iraq’s Water Ministry has said the reservoirs on the Tigris River are almost full, adding that it expects water levels in the Euphrates to rise in the coming days if Syria releases water from its dams.

As a result, the marshlands are experiencing “a relative revival”.

Activist Ahmed Saleh Neema said the Huwaizah Marsh has not seen this much water in years, adding that 85 percent of the wetlands are now submerged, though the water depth still needs to rise.

“It is good. It means that the marshes will not dry this summer,” when temperatures reach 50C.

Fascist Symbology

One thing I've noticed, but have not, in my few searches, found many conclusive answers to, is why exactly various Fascist movements and factions choose certain symbols to represent them, so I thought I'd start a thread to see if I could get some conclusive answers. Particularly the old religious symbols - presumably these are intended to have and convey some particular meaning, but what exactly, and how do Fascists come to the decision to use these particular symbols as their own?

One which I've wondered about in particular is the sun cross - this one has shown up a lot… from the logo of the Norwegian Nazi Party (Nasjonal Samling) and the SS, to Ukraine's Centuria group, to battalions of the IOF. I was also reminded the other day that it has usage in Gnosticism. What does it mean and symbolize within Gnosticism, and what motivates Fascists, seemingly from multiple religious and national backgrounds, to keep adopting it?

A similar question goes for the swastika - why did the Nazis choose to use this specific old religious symbol as the insignia of their German state? Beyond just being Fascist iconography, what does the black sun mean to Fascists, what does it symbolize? There are some symbols, like the Totenkopf (whose usage preceded the rise of the Nazis), where the significance is much more obvious, but I'm really curious to understand the more esoteric symbols.

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.

Defense minister killed in coordinated terror attacks across Mali

Mali faced a wave of terrorist attacks on Saturday morning, in a surprising and coordinated assault targeting multiple cities. The army is actively responding, launching counter-operations to repel the attackers.

April 25, 2026 by Nicholas Mwangi

Nationwide assault hits multiple cities
Mali faced a wave of coordinated terrorist attacks on Saturday morning, as armed groups launched near-simultaneous assaults on multiple cities, including the capital, Bamako. The attacks, which targeted military installations and strategic points, represent a major escalation of violence in the country in recent months.

Reports from multiple sources indicated heavy gunfire and explosions near military bases and barracks, prompting Malian security forces to respond swiftly. Similar incidents were recorded in other parts of the country, suggesting a well-planned and coordinated operation by militant groups. The attacks were carried out by different groups including the Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) and al-Qaeda affiliate Jama’at Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (JNIM).

Reports indicate that militants linked to JNIM were involved in clashes in the Kidal Region, highlighting the continued instability in the north.

On Sunday, as attacks continued in different parts of the country, news broke that Malian Defense Minister General Sadio Camara was killed in a joint FLA and JNIM attack in the town of Kati where Mali’s interim president Assimi Goita also lives. Camara was a top leader in the Goita government and his death is seen as a major blow.

Army responds, claims situation under control
On Saturday, Malian armed forces described the attackers as “unidentified armed terrorist groups” targeting “points and barracks” in the capital and beyond. The chief of staff of the Armed Forces confirmed that the attacks began in the early hours of April 25 and were met with an immediate and forceful response.

“Armed terrorist groups attempted attacks in certain cities of the country. They immediately suffered severe setbacks thanks to the professionalism and commitment of the FAMa,” the statement read.

According to the military, several attackers were neutralized and equipment destroyed during counter-operations conducted by the Forces Armées Maliennes (FAMa). Authorities maintain that the situation is now mostly under control, although security sweeps and stabilization efforts are ongoing across affected areas.

Situation still developing
The army also issued a public advisory urging citizens to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information, particularly videos or messages that could increase fear or serve as propaganda for extremist groups. However, fighting in northern Mali is reportedly ongoing, with details continuing to emerge as the situation develops. Authorities remain on high alert as operations continue across the country.

Honestly I feel like Lenin was a narcissist of some form. Mao was definitely bipolar because of his statements on brainwashing and literally thanking Japan for it's invasions. I don't know much about Stalin since he is the most boring person of the lot. What mental disorders do you think contribute to the revolution the most and the least? For example, Robespierre was definitely a paranoiac and autistic and that ultimately led to his downfall.

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!

The extent to which the average person […] is filled with the same sense of fear and insignificance seems to find a telling expression in the fact of the popularity of the Mickey Mouse pictures. There the one theme—in so many variations—is always this: something little is persecuted and endangered by something overwhelmingly strong, which threatens to kill or swallow the little thing. The little thing runs away and eventually succeeds in escaping or even in harming the enemy. People would not be ready to look continually at the many variations of this one theme unless it touched upon something very close to their own emotional life. Apparently the little thing threatened by a powerful, hostile enemy is the spectator himself; that is how he feels and that is the situation with which he can identify himself. But of course, unless there were a happy ending there would be no continuous attraction. As it is, the spectator lives through all his own fears and feelings of smallness and at the end gets the comforting feeling that, in spite of all, he will be saved and will even conquer the strong one. However—and this is the significant and sad part of this “happy end”—his salvation lies mostly in his ability to run away and in the unforeseen accidents which make it impossible for the monster to catch him.

Like, we all hear about how huge jugs are bad for a woman's back. But at least women with huge jugs can go to gym to compensate this. These feminists accept themselves as they are AND refuse to work out. That's kinda suicidal if you ask me. This refusal to work out will lead to:

Gay people get all the shit for just kissing in public while furfags walk around in fursuits, have orgies in them and are the kinkiest and the most porn-addicted people online by far. Like, how do (non-woke) queer people even come close to this?

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

Boycott Radiohead concerts

Radiohead is still refusing to distance itself from Jonny Greenwood's continued insistence on crossing our picket line. By performing in apartheid Tel Aviv, alongside an Israeli artist who has repeatedly entertained the genocidal Israeli military, Greenwood is artwashing Israel's genocide against 2.3M Palestinians in Gaza.

Of Greenwood's shameful stance, Thom Yorke says "I get it." Well, Palestinians don't. Drummer Phil Selway says it's "impossible" for Radiohead to distance itself from Jonny Greenwood's artwashing of genocide. That's their choice. Here's ours: the Palestinian-led global BDS movement reiterates its call for the boycott and peaceful protest of Radiohead's now-confirmed tour, which starts [this] week.

Massive Attack & Kneecap announce new anti-genocide music alliance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Average YouTube essay

The gaming world has long overlooked a true magnum opus: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Beneath its gritty, action-packed surface lies a profound exploration of the human condition, a narrative so poignant it defies the test of time.

At its core, Blood on the Sand is a story about a man's quest for his diamond-encrusted skull. This might seem like a frivolous pursuit, but it's actually a powerful metaphor for the search for identity and self-discovery. Our protagonist, 50 Cent, navigates a treacherous landscape of gangsters, guns, and…well, more gangsters, all while clinging to the hope of reclaiming his beloved skull.

The dialogue in the game is often cited as cheesy or cringe-worthy, but I argue that it's actually a deliberate choice, a commentary on the superficiality of modern society. When 50 Cent declares, "I'm not just a rapper, I'm a movement," he's not just spouting off a catchy one-liner – he's making a profound statement about the commodification of fame and the search for meaning in a postmodern world.

The game's characters are equally well-developed, with each one serving as a symbol for a different aspect of the human psyche. There's the stoic, stone-faced bodyguard who's secretly a romantic at heart; the femme fatale with a penchant for guns and a hidden vulnerable side; and, of course, the villainous mastermind who's really just a stand-in for the destructive power of unchecked ego.

But what truly sets Blood on the Sand apart is its innovative use of gameplay mechanics. The cover system, which allows 50 Cent to take shelter behind conveniently placed crates and pillars, is a scathing critique of modern society's reliance on conformity and safety nets. And the shooting mechanics? Those are just a clever metaphor for the futility of violence in resolving conflicts.

In short, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is a masterpiece that deserves to be reevaluated by the gaming community. Its thought-provoking themes, nuanced characters, and innovative gameplay mechanics make it a work of art that will continue to resonate with players for generations to come. So, the next time you're feeling existential, take a moment to reflect on 50 Cent's journey – and the diamond-encrusted skull that drives him forward.

This psychologist has this theory about being able to 'implant a false memory on a subject, such as being lost in the mall as a child even though it never happened'.

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?

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.

"My shitty game good, your shitty game bad"

As a Sonic fan, I do not understand this fandom at all. As I grow older I start to understand why that IGN employee said "Sonic was never good." Yeah, sure, Forces is hot garbage, but that doesn't suddenly make '06 good. It feels like whatever a Sonic fan grew up with as a kid becomes a 10/10 masterpiece, and the fandom seems to be generally averse to change (is it because of neurodivergence?). And I don't understand the fans who defend the Meta Era either. Like, you can criticize both '06 and Forces, why only hate one game? It doesn't make you superior to '06 glazers in any way. At least Sonic haters aren't biased to this or that time period. Not like I think they're right but I at least get where they're coming from, their complaints make perfect sense on the surface level. I do sometimes agree with JP purists and classic elitists but they also tend to complain about miniscule shit like character designs or Western canon/characterization or gameplay changes.

The decline of PC gaming

PC gaming sucks now. It's all Denuvo cancer, buggy ports, shitty optimization and overpriced hardware. The corpos show no respect or care towards PC gamers and everyone just goes along with it. Don't get me wrong, I love PC gaming, it has clear advantages. But over the years it's harder and harder for me to recommend it over just buying a console.

Fuck NVidia and Denuvo for making PC gaming worse and fuck Valve for allowing this shit to happen. I can't even stand Gabe Newell anymore, it's all his fault. Allowing Denuvo to poison games, caving in to Nintendo and payment processes' censorship demands. This whole monopoly on PC gaming led to predictable results.

Some people say that GOG is better than Steam. But GOG is for losers who can't afford a good Internet connection and graphics card to run the superior Denuvo games. That's why nobody publishes their games on it. Steam has a larger catalog of indie games than GOG. We keep all the indie devs locked inside our basement with no way out. There is no escape.

A moment to talk about Anon networks and its current state

Can we please Have a moment and talk about the current state of anonymization networks, and how to best fix it for any
metadata and leaks? What to tweak to make it more secure

As we all know TOR is glowing, created and funded by them. Maintained and directory nodes being owned by them, and probably
a majority of nodes. I thought I2p would be better so i just got into it. And started reading about its problems, and beef with devs.
Found following posts on some chans, and wanted some other peoples opinion..

So is it all always glowing? cant we have a network actually made by people for people?

also what r the problems with networks like Lokinet, freenet, gnunet and yggradsil? except for the cheese pizza(tbh aint that hosted
by glowies themselves?)

So for TOR the securest way would be some laptop with libreboot, qubes and whonix. And for i2p/i2pd just changing your b32 adresses
and using new tunnels for every connection? what about the router id? that stays even after a reboot?
And how much of a pro is using a VPN paid with XMR before connecting to i2p and tor? its either the ISP sees the traffic,
or someone providing the proxys. I didnt fully get the part with i2p routers and ip adress correlation, but wouldnt a proxy solve that?

Also apparently, very poor information about how to correctly run i2p, being a floodfill router exposes your home IP and router ID
to the netDB to connect to other routers and support the network, the router ID being connected to the b32 adresses that the eepsites see.
So someone scraping netDB for floodfill routers, would be able to connect the routerID with the b32 adresses. and ur IP then.
whats this bullshit?

Also where else could i post this? lamdaplus /tech/ seems kinda active 4chan doesnt allow proxies.
any other spaces that are active?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

>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.

Serious question. Capitalists hate it, the bourgeois hate it, idpol cucks hate it, the reactionaries hate it. Just because they want to carve their own niche within this pedophobic zeitgeist doesn’t make them consistent.

It should also be noted that all the current nominally communist countries have magic age lines below the Hollywood one of 18, as well as Stalin, Mao, Evo Morales, etc… got laid with JB (with Evo still being persecuted for having sex with someone below the bourgeois magic age line), as well as that the USSR didn’t have a formal age of consent even under Stalin.

I should also point out that being against bourgeois norms isn’t some trendy Tumblr fad, as the Spartacist League opposes the magic age line (a.k.a., the age of consent, which was literally invented by feudal nobility because they found extramarital sex among peasants too icky) and the communist party of Britain (CPB) used to oppose it as well.

On the top of that, since there’s no evidence that intergenerational intimacy is inherently harmful, therefore this isn’t a materialist question of harm as much as a bourgeois dialectics of moralisms after moralisms that only serve to attack working class men.
