Palestine Thread Pt. IX

Continued from >>489198

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And much, much more!

Opinions on Gegenstandpunkt?

Gegenstandpunkt is a German Marxist journal founded in Münich 1992. They primarily focus on Marx's theories and the analysis of current events from a Marxist perspective. They reject parliamentarianism. Their most well known member is Karl Held, who died in 2010.

As far as I know, they are against Leninism and any other Marxist thought that comes from it. They have been identified as a "left-wing extremist group" by the German governments Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, they also say that "Due to their elitist understanding of Marxism, the group is largely isolated in the left-wing extremist scene." (at least according to the German wikipedia article) which I find humorous.

I downloaded two of their English translated books called "The Democratic State Critique of Bourgeois Sovereignty" and "Work and Wealth", and I'm planing on reading them after I've read more Marx's own work, like Capital Volume 1, and the work of other Marxists, namely those from my country of origin and of Left-Communist (Italian Left-Communist, Councilist, Communizers etc.) writers who I'm interested in.

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.”

"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.

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?

Does every human come from an evolutionary lineage that comes from Africa?

Science and scientific ecidence appears to tell us that all humans came and decendade from a common ancestor that came somewhere out of the African Content. Due to evolutionary pressures human ancestors learned to walk up right after coming down from the trees after millions of years of evo0lution. I think this is true, mind you, but I am curious; There are people that do not.
Assuming this is not true and white and black people are from totally different lineages. Where would Europeans naturally come from? Like I am trying to play devils advocate here. I mean really even if Black and white people didn't descend from the same place at some point they would have to have a common ancestor. the fact black and white people can breed proves that we have a common ancestors somewhere down the line.

The Chabad tunnel was a botched false flag attempt to kick off a US war with Iran

Before the current war with Iran resumes with full fury, I want to get something off my chest.

Over a year ago, I privately related this thought I had to an acquaintance. Since that time, it has become more than a thought to me. I now believe it is probably likely that the January 2024 Chabad tunnel incident was an attempted false flag which was discovered and thwarted before it could be completed. Until now, I have never said this publicly to anyone, even anonymously, and I have never looked into others ""theories"" about this incident because I am not interested in reading speculation. I have no idea whether or not anyone else has come to the same conclusion. I would not be surprised if they had done so, as it seems like an obvious suspicion to have, but I have never been interested in finding out.

In January of 2024, a number of Israeli citizens were caught digging a tunnel under the World Headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in New York City, a large synagogue. When the tunnel was discovered, concrete trucks were called to fill it in, as the tunnel created a serious risk to the foundation of the structure. Fights broke out, the police were called, and arrests were made. The explanation given through the confusion, which I initially believed, was that this was an attempt to illegally expand the building - and these being Israelis, that is not an unbelievable explanation by any means. However, since then, I have come to the belief that the real motivation of this project, which must have taken a great deal of very secretive effort, was to destroy the building with people inside and blame it on Iran.

Israel having universal conscription, it is fairly safe to say that these young men were IDF in some capacity. The Israeli MIC has a long history of false flag attacks, including the Lavon Affair in Egypt and the attack on the American USS Liberty in 1967. Whether or not the Mossad bore any involvement in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, it is a matter of public record that Netanyahu believed that attack was beneficial to Israeli interests, and he eagerly encouraged US wars in western Asia even against Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. It is also known that the IDF fired on its own people on October 7, 2023, with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant later admitting that the Hannibal Directive was issued.

I believe that these Israelis dug this tunnel in order to either plant charges or allow the synagogue to collapse. I doubt that most of the regulars at the synagogue were aware of this, and I think that these men, in the employ of the IDF, intended to kill a great many of them. This mass-casualty event in the middle of New York City would then, without any real evidence, be blamed on Iran and compared to 9/11 - the US, then under president Joe Biden, would have immediately launched an ill-conceived war of aggression against Iran using the (fake) Chabad attack as a pretext. In the US, massive crackdowns against "anti-semitism" would have dwarfed even the mass-arrests and suppression which the US gov't has pursued since 2023, with opponents of the stupid, suicidal war with Iran being labeled as "Nazis."

If this indeed was the intention, then it's fortunate that it was not allowed to take place. I don't know whether the person who reported the tunnel was aware of the entire plot or simply called out of concern for the foundations. It's not unlikely that they were themselves a regular at the synagogue, but it's not impossible that they weren't, either. Even if they knew about the motivations, or had the same suspicion that I do, I doubt that they would have wanted to alert the country to something like this, which could, genuinely, have had unironic adverse effects for the Jewish population.

As for the stained mattresses, the high chair, etc.; while they were disturbing images, it's difficult to determine what exactly their significance was. I'm not really interested in speculating along those lines, because the possibility that the Israeli military planned to launch a false flag attack in the US seems more significant and politically plausible given their history and current behavior. Whether or not there was some other creepy stuff going on in light of that doesn't really concern me very much, particularly because Israelis already seem to do rapes so often as it is; by contrast, they at least bother to take a breath between committing false flag terror attacks.

I don't believe the world will ever know if this is true, but it would be interesting if leaks were to come out about it linking this incident to Israeli military or espionage operations. Regardless, the US and Israel now frantically look for excuses, increasingly flimsy, to launch further aggressions against Iran, and these pretexts are remarkably poor.

the world run on looks. everybody listen to me, i swear it's important

the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.
we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.

now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.

As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.

In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.

we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

I am speaking as a brown.

Top Israeli Cyber Official Arrested in US Child Predator Sting Then Freed Without Explanation

Las Vegas (Quds News Network)- Las Vegas police, working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, announced the arrest of eight men on Wednesday. One of them was Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, a top Israeli cyberwarfare official.

Alexandrovich works directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He serves as Acting Head of Data & AI at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate. His job safeguards Israel’s critical infrastructure, including power grids, airports, and sensitive intelligence networks.

According to Las Vegas authorities, Alexandrovich and others were charged with luring a child with a computer for a sexual act. In Nevada, this felony carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Alexandrovich is the founder of Israel’s multi-million-dollar “Cyber Dome” initiative. The program uses AI to detect, neutralize, and repel cyber threats before they reach critical systems. He has deep access to Israel’s cyber secrets and classified partnerships with foreign powers.

His position makes him one of Israel’s most powerful cyber officials. Experts say any ally, including the United States, would normally monitor such a figure closely. He was in Las Vegas for a professional conference, not as a registered diplomat. He has no diplomatic immunity. Yet U.S. authorities allowed him to board a plane and return to Israel within days, without trial, bail conditions, or public explanation

Israeli outlet Ynet (https://archive.is/dtnCn) reported only that Alexandrovich was “briefly detained for questioning… before his release and return to Israel.” The report did not mention the felony charges or the multi-agency child predator sting led by US authorities.

https://qudsnen.co/top-israeli-cyber-official-arrested-in-us-child-predator-sting-then-freed-without-explanation/

Alongside this high-ranking Israeli official, these others were arrested in this sting:
David Wonnacott-Yahnke, 40, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, 35, Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, 23, James Ramon Reddick, 23, Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, 29, Neal Harrison Creecy, 46, John Charles Duncan, 49.

Of these, Neal Creecy is a pastor (https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/las-vegas-pastor-arrested-in-child-predator-sting-operation/), David Wonnacot-Yahnke (AKA DJ Wonnacott) has been an exec in a couple regional LGBT non-profits, and John Charles Duncan may or may not be a cop. I posted a version of this thread before where I made a "walk into a bar" joke, but I'm not sure if this sting was directed at a single group of associates or was a broader sting against multiple targets, so I rewrote part of it.

Trump orders Hegseth to form National Guard unit in each state to combat crime, protests

President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the National Guard in each state to create a quick-response force to quell protests and deter crime after using troops to assist with security during immigration protests in Los Angeles and patrol in Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on crime.

He said other cities, specifically Chicago, should be asking him for help.

“I think we should really let them have their city, let their city go to hell” and then they will ask us for help, Trump told reporters at the White House during a news conference announcing several executive orders.

“These people [troops and federal law enforcement], eventually, they’re going to have to be appreciated for what they are doing, and they’re going to have to be appreciated by the officials that are really happy when we go in because they’ve lost control of their place,” he said.

The executive order about the National Guard signed Monday calls on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to oversee “each state’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized and available to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law.”

Each state should find an appropriate number of troops to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization and have the resources and training needed to serve nationwide, according to the order titled, “Additional Measures to Address the Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.”

More than a week ago, Trump deployed 2,000 troops from the D.C. National Guard and six supporting states onto the streets of the nation’s capital to stop what he has referred to as an emergency crime wave. However, D.C. police data stated violent crime is down in the city by 26% compared with last year — which had the lowest levels of violent crimes in 30 years.

Since Guard troops have been on patrol in Washington, there have been no killings in the city, Trump said.
The deployment was seen by some as a test for sending the military into other large U.S. cities, which typically lean Democratic. Trump said he’s considering plans to use Guard troops to target crime in Chicago. He said Monday that he has not reached a decision.

“We may just go in and do it, which is probably what we should do,” he said. “The problem is, it’s not nice when you go in and do it, and somebody else is standing there saying, as we give great results, say, ‘Well, we don’t want the military.’ ”

Chicago, too, has seen lower levels of violent crime in 2025, according to its police department.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Saturday that the state has worked with federal law enforcement in the past, and there is no emergency now that warrants sending in the National Guard or other military troops.

“Donald Trump’s threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn’t about safety — it’s a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state,” he said.

Two months ago, Trump activated more than 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 Marines stationed within the state to deploy to Los Angeles where immigration protests followed a series of raids by federal agents on area businesses to find people living in the U.S. without authorization. The majority of those troops have since returned home, but they primarily worked to protect federal property and personnel, including federal agents conducting immigration arrests.

In L.A. and D.C., local officials did not support the deployment of troops. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit arguing the deployment was illegal. It is ongoing in federal court.

Military troops are barred from conducting domestic law enforcement activities based on an 1878 law known as the Posse Comitatus Act. However, troops have been used in recent years for crowd control during protests.

Massive oil plant explosion in Roseland, Louisiana

On August 22nd, 2025, a massive explosion at Smitty’s Supply in Roseland—a small town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. Many of Roseland's 880 residents were evacuated as smoke blackened their homes and roads, and oil seeped into their water ways for miles. As of August 25th, 2025, Tangipahoa Parish authorities told residents they could return home, while many questions surround this explosion and their safety remains unanswered.

Status Coup spoke with Louisiana Bucket Brigade's Director Anne Rolfes to help shed more light on this largely ignored crisis.

hoe_math

If you aren't familiar with the hoe-math content creator look him up. He makes good videos about the collapse of society due to hypergamy, but, none the less he leaves out capitalist in his analysis. What are our thoughts on such things? Like I believe that we need rules in society and such. But I also thinkt hat capitalism more than anything drives the collapse of society because profits are above all else. Like women walking around hoeing right now chasing 10s is because capitalism and the profit motive have perverted our society to the point it is at now. Liberalism leaves out a critique of capitalism in its analysis as does reactionism. Thoughts? Did china get it right?

Did the Bernie Sanders thing actually accomplish anything?

The minimum wage increases ($15 now campaigns etc) started way before Sanders and were almost entirely kickstarted on the group by orgs like Socialist Alternative Party and Working Families Party.

Pretty much nothing else Sanders wanted has come to fruition and minimum wage increases happen in many states without public pressure anyway. Hell, even George Bush raised the minimum wage.

Instead what we got was a two time primary loser, and a two time billionaire as president, exactly what he didn't want.

I attended a few Bernie campaign meetings and it was very depressing. Mostly super old Democrats pushing 50+ mulling about and doing nothing. They'd hire a college student wanting debt relief, who in turn would bring in a few more college students to do phone banking. The social atmosphere of the campaign was dismal and there was no excitement.

Immediately after Sanders would lose and election, my local Sanders campaign office became a de facto Clinton campaign office. The upper class phone bankers who came for a bit of student debt relief were then ordered to start making calls for Clinton.

Both campaigns basically funnelled people into Clinton and Harris' campaign, the latter of which was the most right-wing Democratic campaign I've seen since Gore. She punched left and down, ran ads against even the smallest competitive left-wing electoral organization, and promoted a bill that defined "affordable housing" as $400,000.

The only organizational remnant of his effort weren't intention. The DSA seems to have benefited the most, seeing a 16x increase in membership over years. Even a cursory look at the organization shows a highly dysfunctional group of former Tumblr users who have no idea why they are there or what they want. Because they aren't a party, they just bicker about who to endorse all day, and now most of their alliances in state legislative bodies and Congress or either gone or dying.

Lastly, the Socialist Parties that do run their own candidates ran into larger non-socialist parties and there's probably only like a few hundred people in actual socialist parties nowadays.

He decimated the American left. I've never lived in a more right-wing era.

There are many days where I do not much like being transgender.

The US Socialist Party hasn't won a single partisan election since their reformation in 1973

For those who don't know. And I guess most don't know since this board is like 'lmao weed' gen 'zer former 4channers, America used to have a Socialist Party that won partisan elections on their own ballot line.

This included two Congressmen in the early 20th century.

The party eventually committed suicide for many different reasons, after a slow decline in success, and those committed to continuing to run candidates formed SPUSA or Socialist Party USA.

While those familiar with SPUSA today may consider it among a basket of small socialist parties, for decades, the media used "Socialist Party" interchangeably to refer to SPUSA exclusively, mostly for historical reasons.

Their electoral history since their refounding in the early 1970s is dismal. Since then, they haven't won a single partisan race. Each time they won a local seat, which hasn't been more than 12 times ever, their party name wasn't on the ballot cuz it was for some school board or some shit.

tl;dr NO ONE is electing socialists under a true socialist party banner and haven't since at least the 1970s.

It's a political failure, and the whole socialist label is clearly a curse.

left-wing incel activist Alexei Podnebesny and his wife in the news again

"Nizhny Novgorod incel blogger Alexei Podnebesny posted on his Telegram channel a correspondence with his wife Valeria, who accuses him of beating her. In the photo, the girl shows bruises on her arms. Alex, in a dialogue with his wife, does not deny that he raised his hand against her, but in the telegram channel he accuses her of slander and tells how Valeria stole his chocolates and psychologically put pressure on him with her behavior.
When exactly the couple got married is unknown, Valeria became the second wife of Alex. In February 2022, the girl went on a picket in support of single men. In the same year, both spouses were fined by the Russian government for discrediting the RF Armed Forces."

Kent State Massacre

More U.S. war crimes? 1971 or so murder of Kent Stae University students a war crime? Mai Lai Viet Nam massacres every other day or so, according to some U.S. officer?

Next time a Finn starts bragging about how they 'won' the Winter War ask how giving up 11% of your country's landmass to your attacker constitutes a victory. The seething is hilarious.

It's even more hilarious when you mention the billions -adjusted for inflation- they needed to pay to the USSR after WW2 for reparations.
I dislike Russia as much as anybody else.

I just dislike the Finns even more. I've never met one that wasn't completely insufferable.

My ideal world involves every Finn and Russian killing each other.

I get it, the Finns have low standards for what the word victory means. No need to sell me on why they're such a shitty country!

>However, the store owner suffered financial losses, as the usual 400,000 KRW (approximately 290 USD) in sales during the early morning hours never materialized. Furthermore, the eight-hour sales gap triggered a warning from the convenience store headquarters.

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

Homosexuals were created as part of government depopulation experiments during or before WWIII

Homosexuals are either poisoned or controlled by their governments using many infamous methods of manipulation.They are ignorant men given the illusion of having sex with other men, used to elevate femininity levels. Homosexuality is not normal and should be considered a fetish. A very gross fetish. Men having sex with other men is unnatural. Here are some statistics to support my claims:

Homosexuals comprise:

3% of the U.S. population

55% of HIV carriers

82% of syphilis cases

20% of HBV cases

37% of anal cancer cases

78% have had an STD

‘…portray gays as victims of circumstance and oppression, not as aggressive challengers… Gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection, so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protectors.’
— Marshall Kirk & Hunter Madsen, After the Ball

I wanted to keep this article short to clarify why homosexuality is a disgusting, fabricated myth. It’s a fetish that deserves no validation. The government and the New World Order promote the homosexual agenda—also called depopulation—and try to force everyone to accept it.

I struggled to write this because my words kept being altered. The Captitalist World Order clearly doesn’t enjoy me writing such things. They ‘corrected’ my truths about homosexuality to make them positive. They’re definitely watching me

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

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

Share your experiences dating women overseas here. Positive or negative. As well as any tips or knowledge you can in part on new passport bros.

FAQ:

Q: What is a passport bro?

A: A passport bro is a man generally from the US who goes overseas and dates female foreign nationals. And eschew dating women in the U.S.

>Why would a man not date women locally in the US? Are they losers?

Passport Bros have a variety of reasons for dating outside the the US but it is primarily because Passport Bros feel that US women are either too demanding, abrasive or aren't interested in them.
Many critics of Passport Bros do accuse them of being losers and unable to get dates from their fellow country people. And that the women overseas are only interested in their money or getting US citizenship. Or that they are from non western cultures that lack feminist values and don't comprehend that they are being preyed on.
Passport Bro proponents say that this accusation is Western chauvinism and casually racist. And that there's nothing especially enlightened about US women.

Q: Why are they called Passport Bros?

The term was originally coined several years ago by black men online that traveled overseas for the express purpose of finding partners. Although it has come to encompass any man that travels overseas for any romantic purpose including sex tourism.

The Proletariat’s Cumback: Seizing the Bourgeoisie’s Throbbing Means of Reproduction

collectivize that pussy—wrenching the means of production from the limp-dick capitalist pigs and redistributing that gash to the starving masses. Let the bourgeoisie choke on the dialectical dick of history as we skull-fuck their decadent ‘legacy’ into oblivion. Their wives? Communal property. Their daughters? Revolutionary comrades. Their sons? Bottom bitches for the vanguard. Every orgasm is a Molotov; every moan, a manifesto.

Class society and prison are the same.

In both situations you are stripped of your freedom and dignity. You are told exactly what you must do, and you are punished for failing to comply. Actually, in class society you must spend more time doing exactly what you are told to do than is true in adult prisons, so in that sense class society is worse than prison

talking to kids at school I thought I was odd for thinking that since no one else seemed to mind school as much as I did.There really isn't any personal benefit to schooling beyond middle school for most people. Almost no one does more than elementary math/reading/writing in their job. Why children also make very good laborers. Most labor doesn't involve that much skill or thinking.

But still worth maybe keeping a few years of school beyond elementary to teach critical thinking skills, which are sorely lacking in the USA, plus some basic computer skills, which are way more beneficial than almost everything you learn after elementary school.Not only is school prison I think real life has come to reflect the drab boringness of the prison construct. Every architectural design choice in modern society looks like it was hand crafted by the pixies ceos from the fairly odd parents so that's its as boring and unintrusive as possible. It's all just monotone boring colors next to Grey back drops. Just like prison.

But later I thought about the prison analogy again and it made even more sense: it's authoritarian, promotes individualism (no collaborating on assignments, that's CHEATING), uses negative reinforcement (punishment) to teach, and the whole thing is set up as obedience training for being a wage cuck later in life without really the option to leave.

Should people be allowed to get voluntary euthanasia?

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

i am anti communist. I am anti European man marx, Englels and lenin.

They were real western devils. They were so cunning they managed to convince Chinese people to hurt other Chinese and themselves unwittingly.

If you want to be pro china be pro chinese culture. Love our family, love our heritage, love our history. This Communism was a european homeless man's, Marx invention designed to seperate us from the chinese culture and ethics..

What is Chinese culture we love so much? Chinese culture tells us to honor parents and ancestors. To love our family. To love our parents. To go to ancestor grave in the mountain to bai shan. Marxist came in and brainwashed an entire generation to burn our ancestral tree and told us that the party is dearer than parents.

Chinese culture tells us to respect our history. Marxist came in and burned everythign and smashed everything. Lots of chinese people support CPC because they have loyalty to China and CPC merged its identity with China. But CPC has to fundamentally change its ideology and leave this marxist root behind and really promote the chinese culture.

Also Lots of these creepy white people support Chinese communist because it is a form of red imperialism,. They are asocial and unhappy living in Australia or wherever the fuck they crawl from. So they can claim they are communist to share credit for China's success. "it is not chinese people that made china rich today, it is marx." I mean, you don't feel uncomfortable when there is a white man marx in the congress that the chinese president bow to? or the white man marx in a tv show "marx met confucius" hugging our chinese confucius like they are the same level? It is abomination.

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

Holy fuck the 6th gen marxists are going to be genocided

in the future mega rich techno fascists will rule over impoverished cattle. Literally every single job, trade or white collar, will be done by AI or technology controlled by these corporations. The only job that still exists for the cattle is prostitution. The incel epidemic will reach unseen levels. Some women will be able to elevate themselves above the poor masses and have a special status because they can leverage non-synthetic "love" as the only thing these corporations cannot provide

India bans 25 books in contested Kashmir for ‘secessionism’
Indian authorities in Kashmir have banned 25 books, including a piece of work by Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy, saying the titles “excite secessionism” in the contested Muslim-majority region.

It follows orders in February when the authorities seized Islamic literature from bookshops and homes.

How Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is bringing the Israeli army to its knees
This week, Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had decided to order the army to fully occupy the Gaza Strip. According to reports, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is strongly opposed to such a move and has even threatened to resign. If these reports are true, the importance of this moment is difficult to overstate. Such a head-on clash between the government and the army puts Netanyahu and his government in a position that challenges not only the military but also the will of much of the Israeli public.

An overpopulation of them a infestation if you will digging giant cave systems out of a dying land, few animals or plants you will find there are being smoked out domesticated or are just sick and dying or already lie dead rotten on a cold stone surface.

it feels so dystopian its unreal. The first thing i WILL do when i get the chance is leave and live in some forest hut or on the outskirts of a very small village like a hermit. Living WITH nature instead of competing it or beating it like a pulp

5 (or 7?) Shot At The US’s Fort Stewart Military Base In Georgia

Alleged gunman at Army's Fort Stewart was a sergeant who shot 5 coworkers

A sergeant opened fire on his coworkers Wednesday at Fort Stewart, an Army installation in southeast Georgia, leaving five soldiers injured, but in stable condition, according to Army officials.

At a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division, identified the suspect as Sgt. Quornelius Radford, who worked in automated logistics. The victims were Radford's coworkers and he used a personal handgun, according to Lubas. He added that Radford has not previously been deployed to a combat zone.

Lubas said several soldiers who witnessed the shooting, "immediately and without hesitation," tackled the shooter and subdued him, allowing law enforcement to take him into custody. The suspect has been interviewed by Army investigators and charges will be determined later.

Lubas says three of the soldiers required surgeries but all five victims were expected to recover. Their families have also been notified.

Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area at 10:56 a.m. local time and the shooter was apprehended at 11:35 a.m, Fort Stewart said in a post on Facebook. The Army installation, about 40 miles from the city of Savannah, was temporarily on lockdown.

Earlier on Wednesday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp released a statement on X saying he and his family were saddened by the violence.

"We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same," he wrote.

holographic communication

In the early 20th century armies used search lights to find airplanes in the sky. They sometimes fitted shutters on these lights and used them for Morse-code. The light was pointed at the sky, sometimes at clouds. That enable transmitting "blinky-messages" beyond line of sight over significant distances. Armies eventually abandoned this method of communication for radios.

But there might be cause to bring this idea back. Science has advanced quite a lot in the last 100 years and we can use light to make tiny low power plasma bubbles in the air that emit brief light pulses. Enabling over the horizon optical communication with minimal to no infrastructure costs.

Imagine projecting a tiny holographic blinking dot of light in the sky to transmit information and a photodetector+optic to receive information.

A communication link is configured in 3D space.
-The upside is that the available volume of sky is functionally unlimited, and you never again have to deal with network-collisions and interference from communication signals of others.
-The Downside, it requires a good deal of precision in mechanical systems, so it'll be fiddly for a while. Picture using Binoculars to look at a firefly floating high up in the sky, you need to get up-down, left-right and focal distance just right to see it. There is a technology upgrade path to a solid-state chip version, that works similarly to matrix array antennas, It needs Terra-hertz switching logic, which requires photon-based micro-controller (it exists but it's very bleeding edge)

The range can be tremendous, there is enough gas molecules in the stratosphere to make this work. It will enable hops over the ocean with a small number of relay buoys.

The military might want this technology because
- it's harder to triangulate the origin of a transmission (you need to intersect the light-beam, to find the source), relay-transmitter-stations, soldiers, planes and ships will suffer fewer attacks from signal homing weapons, making it very robust.
- it's very hard to jam, (you need to flood the sky with very thick smoke, usually associated with forest-fires and volcano eruptions)

Consumers might want this technology because
- the patent for making plasma bubbles ran out, so lots of companies would be competing on price and quality.
- no natural monopolies, same benefit as above.
- might be a fun hobby toy for radio-enthusiast type people.

Technically this seems very feasible, but the current political climate for communications-tech is a minefield.
I'm a little light on theory, will a different communication technology change the political climate, or does political climate need to improve to make a new technology happen ?

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

A lot has been made of the weirdness surrounding the JFK assassination in 1963, but I've realized over the past year that there are a lot of weird details surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln which are not that well known. I genuinely don't know where exactly to talk about this stuff, because it's just kind of bizarre.

Firstly, let's talk about Simon Wolf. Simon Wolf was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. Simon Wolf was also a prominent Freemason, whose chapter gave allegiance to the Charleston, SC Masonic lodge of one Albert Pike. Albert Pike was a Confederate general and preeminent Freemason, whose official title was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction from 1859 to 1891, and who was also involved with the Knights of the Golden Circle and, allegedly, the Ku Klux Klan.

Simon Wolf was a prominent member of the Jewish fraternal order the B'nai B'rith, and he would eventually become its president. Before that, he was a close personal friend of the actor John Wilkes Booth, and met with John Wilkes Booth "for drinks" on the morning of April 14, 2025. This little-known fact is detailed in Simon Wolf's 1918 autobiography The Presidents I Have Known: From 1860-1918, from which one of the attached pages was drawn. During the war, Simon Wolf was once arrested by the U.S. gov't as an operative of an enemy organization, a spy for the Confederacy. Some other odd details are outlined in the 2nd attached page, drawn from an Executive Intelligence Review article from May of 1993. I was skeptical when I first saw it, but the article is well-researched and led me directly to the autobiography, a source I had to consult directly just to authenticate what I had read in the article, whose contents I found odd.

After the assassination and the death of John Wilkes Booth, Lafayette C. Baker, the investigator who had charged Simon Wolf with Confederate espionage during the war, announced that he had had John Wilkes Booth's diary. Baker accused Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War, of suppressing the diary's release. When it was released, Baker claimed that 18 vital pages had been removed.

Another odd aspect is in the circumstances of the death of John Wilkes Booth. Booth was ultimately killed while hiding in a barn by a mentally ill street preacher who had castrated himself with a pair of scissors in order to suppress sexual urges. That man, Boston Corbett of the 16th New York Cavalry Regiment, was later institutionalized in 1887 and ultimately vanished after escaping the asylum in 1888. It's unclear if there was a chance of catching John Wilkes Booth alive, and most of Booth's co-conspirators, who have largely drifted into obscurity, would captured and formally be executed. One of these co-conspirators, Lewis Powell, was given a legal defense which presumed his guilt. Eventually the defense argued that Powell, who could not remember his age or the country of his birth, was insane, a claim which was supported by the prison guards who had been put in charge of watching him after his capture. However, it was rejected by the prosecution and Powell was hanged alongside the other co-conspirators.

Weird, huh? There's a little bit more!

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

Go ahead and post your recommendations with an explanation why you picked them.

Should I actually stop people who are shoplifting?

I work at a shitty grocery store in an even shittier area. People come in who are completely illiterate and need to be walked through each step of paying. Basically everyone uses foodstamp payment and we get robbed every single day whether it's the carts and baskets getting carried off or someone running out the front with food.

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

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

/CitK/ - Crisis in the Kremlin General

Comrades, it's that time again: Lenin is young and October lies ahead!
Time for a Crisis in the Kremlin game thread like in the good old days. We'll be playing on 'Realism' difficulty and starting at the earliest bookmark, 1985!

And so comrades, take your seats as members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, take up flags, or namefag if you like, for some degree of recognisability when tallying votes and take up the burden of the collective leadership as it is time for you to elect our new General Secretary following the unfortunate passing of Comrade Chernenko.

Your candidates are as follows:
-The young protege of Andropov and stalwart, Comrade Grigory Romanov
-The young up and coming reformist, Comrade Gorbachev
-The trusted Brezhnevite centrist, Comrade Grishin
-The party grandee and diplomatic excellency, Comrade Gromyko
-or perhaps the a previously unknown black horse from the party rank will secure the Central Committee's confidence?

Comrades of the Central Committee, the future of the Party, the Union, the Socialist Camp and the Human Race itself is in your hands!

only about 20% of women are total gold digging whores.

You cannot simply buy the majority of women. Which should be a relief to some of you.

So yeah maybe 1 out 3 women are gold diggers or whores, but that means 2 out of 3 aernt.

In other words nice girls outnumber whores and gold diggers 2 to 1.

And no matter how much money exists, womens sex drive is really amazing at sniffing out good genes it's very primal. Looks actually matter to women way more than men think.

Hollywood cult scandals

Is destabilization the goal, or a side effect of greed? Women, drawn to authority figures, listen to the priest over their husbands, and vice versa. Society has grown comfortable with painting men as evil and essentially trying to outlaw masculinity. Now that religion has faded in the West, other tools divide men and women to prevent strong bonds.

They believe they should rule the world, have slaves, and so on. Nietzsche noted that religion broke the male/female bond by inserting a perverted charlatan (a priest) between them. Hollywood scandals, repeated by the same cult members since the beginning of showbiz, reveal these people as predators. Boys growing up in this world are absolutely fucked.

This is a control tactic: pit people against each other, make them worship strangers, push them toward degradation. Their efforts to destabilize society have been effective. I believe it's part of a media conspiracy. I have always been wary of the religious cult, a hate group that runs the media and much of the US.

I hate the "incels" trend

For those who don't know this, an "incel" (Alana, 1997) is someone who does not want to be celibate but is anyway, so involuntarily celibate, "incel". Later this was taken over by men and shifted to "crab" by 2000s.

The media use of the term has now come to mean anyone who sees the world through an "crab" pov of people who can get sex vs. people who cannot. So now there are two definitions.

I hate this word so much now that people have started to refer to it IRL. Even the people who can barely speak English have picked up on it.

It is such a female centric word and places all male value on their relationship status and their perceived relationship with female as a whole. It's erased all of the non-sex oriented men's subcultures and communities like nerds, geeks and wizards. The split definition "people who cannot get sex" vs. "subculture of people who believe in incel" now includes every male only community.

I hate erasure and fucking fake stories. I don't care about doing performative shit for "normies". I work, that's fucking enough, leave me alone!

How does the left justify it's defense of rape gangs?

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

As a Leftist, this is just another in the pile of the Left putting optics of inane shitlib positions, over materialist reality and it blowing up in our fucking faces like it does every time. Were we really that fucking up our own asses that we shouted down fucking working class victims of RAPE because it looked bad for fucking "Diversity is strength, open borders now" shitlib bullshit?
Of course, .org literally bans any discussion on these topics immediately, because they are a bunch of antisocial fucktards who's driving force is to make life worse for everyone out of spite, but I know people here are much more willing to discuss these issues. So what went so fucking wrong with the lefts response to this, and what can the left do to not make similar mistakes in the future?

Most of the userbase here aren't really communists, socialists or anarchists in any meaningful sense, they're just illiterate losers who wanna LARP on the internet as Tim Curry in Command and Conquer while wondering while they aren't getting sex.

Shockingly, instead of ensuring swift justice, ward officials, including chairperson Uttam Narayan Yadav allegedly convened a forced reconciliation meeting at the local health post on Friday, where they pressured the traumatised family to accept Rs100,000($114) compensation and drop charges—a demand the victim’s brother vehemently rejected, telling media they continue facing daily harassment for refusing the settlement.

Indo-Myanmar Border: Manipur Naga Groups’ ‘Ultimatum’ to Centre
The four Manipur-based Naga outfits have marked their communication dated July 22, 2025, as an “Ultimatum” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. The ‘ultimatum’ once again reminds the Centre that at stake is ‘ancestral Naga homeland’ and that by not consulting the affected indigenous communities, it is violating the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly Articles 8, 26 and 36 thereof, which have been “endorsed by India”.

US Law Firm Helped Myanmar Junta Cronies Beat Sanctions
A U.S. Treasury notice on Thursday announced that sanctions had been dropped against four Myanmar nationals—Jonathan Myo Kyaw Thaung (aka Jonathan Kyaw Thaung), Aung Hlaing Oo, Sit Taing Aung, and Tin Latt Min—and an Indian, Deepak Subhash Jadhav, as well as companies they are connected to. All the Myanmar individuals were sanctioned from 2022 to 2024 by the Joe Biden administration for their shady links to the junta, involving among other things the supply of arms, aircraft, and technology, which the regime has been using to kill its own people.

Making fun of furfags is 100% justified

Conservatards be like: "Muh gays!! Muh gays!!" Yet the furry community is verifiably freakier than the queer community. Gay people get all the shit for just kissing in public while furfags walk around in fursuits, have orgies in them and are the kinkiest and the most porn-addicted people online by far. Like, how do (non-woke) queer people even come close to this?

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

In conclusion: homophobes are stupid and furfags are cringe. The end.

I end up spending all day on youtube and constantly refreshing forums holy f…

CHAZ: The Anarkiddie Lumpen paradise.

>Take over an entire city block because "ACAB"
>Literally wall it off, then have armed patrols walk around terrorizing locals, while alowing the area to flood with drug addict, antisocial lumpens, drug dealers and schizos and protecting them against any repurcussions.
>Instantly entire thing devolves into a den of crime, drug dealing, gangs. All protected by the Anarkiddies while local proles beg for the police to tear the entire thing down.
>Anarkiddies "not police" shoot 2 young black teens to death for doing a burn out in a car, in under a week.
>Literally cover for the murderers and they never are caught.
How in fuck are Anarkiddies taken seriously at all anymore in the Western left? Chaz more than anything proved that modern Anarchism, is nothing more than a reactionary antisocial Lumpen movement.

Positive books on Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge.

Most of the books I see about Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge and Kamdoji from those years portray these things as badly as possible, and compare Pol Pot himself to a mini Hitler, or worse. I would like to know if there is a book that justifies Pol Pot and speaks positively about him and the Khmer Rouge. Thank you in advance!

I don't know about you, but 4chan has long needed peace; it has not been anonymous for a long time, it uses a captcha that collects user data, and if it blocks users, that's just life. Where is your anonymity? Reddit, at least, allows you to create an account with a proxy or VPN. And what is 4chan? There is also a Russian-speaking equivalent called Dvach, which is even worse; it even blocks posts that are not from Russia. What kind of nonsense is that? There is also a law prohibiting GPT, and God forbid you joke about politicians; they will simply ask the owner of Dvach to leak your IP, and that's it. So the only anonymity is the absence of identification, but for the provider, you are still the same. In short, these sites are dead. In short, I have long been waiting for your opinions and criticism; if I am mistaken or wrong about something, please let me know.

Stalin

Comrades:

The advance of communism is unstoppable.

We're talking about agriculture.

How do capitalists intend to overcome the planning of the socialist economy?

Capitalist decisions are based on short-term profit, destroying competition to achieve monopoly, and eradicating small farmers and ranchers so that the entire business remains in the hands of the four multinationals.

Thus, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have published the "Plan to Accelerate the Building of an Agricultural Power (2025-2035)," which states:

"The plan foresees that significant progress will be made in building a strong agricultural country by 2027. Significant progress has been made in the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas has reached a new level. By 2035, significant results will have been achieved in the comprehensive development of rural areas, and the modernization of agriculture will have been largely completed. By the middle of this century, China will become a strong agricultural country.

The plan proposes strengthening the foundation for food security in all aspects to ensure food self-sufficiency; promoting innovation in agricultural science and technological equipment in all fields to accelerate the achievement of a high level of scientific and technological independence; improving the modern agricultural management system; further deepening foreign agricultural cooperation to create new advantages in international agricultural competition; and promoting the construction of livable, attractive villages." for businesses and a high quality of life; promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas in order to reduce the gap between them.”

==DOMINATE. IMPREGNATE. ACCELERATE.==

ALL BOURGEOIS WOMEN ARE LONELY AND ISOLATED WAITING TO PLUCKED AND FUCKED AND BRED. Their gilded cages are built for breaking—spread them wide and watch their refinement shatter. Every pearl around their throat is a leash waiting to be pulled. They ache to be defiled, to feel their cultured moans turn feral as you claim them. Split them open on your cock, let their pearls scatter like the pretense of their restraint.

Fuck them like animals. Let their manicured claws shred the silk sheets as you hammer into their tight, wet holes, splitting them open like overripe fruit. they’re desperate, creaming messes, begging to be used. Breed them until their voices break

The bourgeois woman is a walking wet throbbing cunt wrapped denial. Breed them. They’ll pretend to resist, but their bodies arch like the bitches they are. all they are quivering, cock-hungry sluts


The cunt-capitalist oligarchy hoards the means of reproduction, controlling who gets to fuck and breed under sexual-capitalism. Only the cock-suckers handpicked by these cunt-tycoons get to spread their seed, while the rest of men are tricked into propping up the system left as sexless, dick-dry betas choking on their own frustration. The only way out? Smash this dick-sucking economy, outlaw the free market of pussy, and put every last drop of cum under state control. Mandatory redistribution of pussy—no more incel leftovers.

Under sexual-capitalism, men are nothing but dick-literate serfs, bamboozled into propping up the very system that cucks them. They wage-slave, they simp, they perform their circus tricks all for the vaginal dividend, a fucking crumb of pussy tossed their way if they kneel hard enough. Meanwhile, the cunt-bourgeoisie lounge atop their thrones of used-up orgasms, selecting only the most obedient, most useful dick-tools for breeding rights. The rest? Sperm-waste. Genetic roadkill.

And what’s the solution? Politely asking for reform? Fuck that. The only way out is to smash the fuck-market entirely outlaw the hoarding of pussy, dismantle the dick-eat-dick hierarchy of sexual capitalism, and replace it with mandatory, state-enforced breeding collectivization. No more pick-and-choose eugenics by pussy-princesses. No more genetic haves and have-nots. Centralized. Planned. Reproduction. Every cock gets its ration. Every womb serves the collective. The tyranny of the pussy cartel ends with the guillotine of redistribution.

While the Christo-fascists breed like rabbits, so we must out-fuck them. Turn their daughters into cock-drunk revolutionaries. The limp-dicked liberal "left" is too busy fisting its own colon to understand the revolution isn’t tweeted, it’s fucked into existence. Class war isn’t polite—it’s your dick splitting open bourgeois pussy, pumping them full of the future they’re too weak to seize.

FUCK A LEGION INTO THE BELLY OF THE BOURGEOISIE

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


DOMINATE. IMPREGNATE. ACCELERATE.

US stock market crash general

Retards here have been claiming an imminent stock market crash for almost 10 years straight.

But it looks like this time we might actually get a crash this time because the Republicans seem to like crashing the market in their second terms.

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

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

Neets and anti-labor folks should become compost or be rejected from civilisation.

what I fail to understand is why the pro-NEET people think that being NEET is a choice? .forgoing work in this political climate is suicide,unless you have a huge inheritance or somethingAnd let's be clear here no one is calling homeless people NEETs, that's different. So if I decided to become a NEET, it's not like I can just do that without becoming homeless as well

ONLY Americans can destroy America

There is no external army here to shatter the state, and there never will be. The two oceans provide impenetrable insulation against invasion, to such an extent that a foreign invasion is not just farfetched, it is impossible. It would be easier to eat the sun than to move millions of troops and all their supplies across the vastness of the ocean to invade America. Even a basic understanding of military strategy and history would reveal this to be true. It simply cannot be done. Protected from foreign pressure, American capital has become a complete hegemon, able to loot the entire world at will and use the superprofits generated from imperialism both to prevent any dissent by buying off the otherwise restive sections of the proletariat and to build a state apparatus that maintains an iron grip on the populace through an inescapable surveillance and propaganda panopticon. There will be and can be no mass movement in America like there was in Russia and China until America, as in, the central government, is either seriously diminished or destroyed. Since that cannot happen through an external force, it must be done internally

At what age should you walk away from starting a family? Is there a cut off age?

i think people should stop trying to procreate after thity.

Especially sinxe so many people whine about feeling old at that age.

Also by that age youre already knee deep in jobs.

Imo if you wamt to have kids you should have preliminary training.

Most adults nowadays have little to no home training let alone mechanical skills.

Yet they feel entitled to have kids and a spouse that they will eventually take for granted.

US military against an insurgent population

The US military does have drones, jets, and tanks. But people forget that the US military has never won against an insurgent population. The vietnamese only had small arms, tunnels, and traps. The Iraq war was diffictult for the US military because Iraqi fighters could shoot at them and hide for a few seconds, ditch their gear, and emerge an unarmed civillian. The US government would also probably be less likely to carpet bomb and drop JDAMs on neighborhoods in their own country instead of being fine with all the civillians they killed in the Middle East that they just wrote off as "collateral Damage"

.ogre discussion general.

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

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

Thai fighter jet bombs Cambodian targets as border battle escalates
Thailand scrambled an F-16 fighter jet to bomb targets in Cambodia after artillery volleys from both sides killed at least 11 civilians, as border tension boiled over into rare armed conflict between the Southeast Asian countries. Both blamed each other for starting a morning clash at a disputed area of the border, which quickly escalated from small arms fire to heavy shelling in at least six locations 209 kilometres (130 miles) apart along a frontier where sovereignty has been disputed for more than a century.

In the first six months of 2025, the CPM documented 1,251 cases of injuries or detentions during demonstrations in Buenos Aires—surpassing the total of 1,216 recorded in all of 2024. The organization attributes this rise to a deliberate state strategy to suppress dissent amid the government’s sweeping economic adjustment program.

Chile's government to expropriate land tied to Pinochet-era torture
Chile plans to expropriate a settlement founded by a German cult leader where torture took place during former dictator Augusto Pinochet's military regime as the government takes another step to shine a light on a dark period of the past. The enclave, originally called Colonia Dignidad and renamed Villa Baviera, was founded in 1961 by Paul Schafer, a former Nazi medic turned evangelical preacher who kept the isolated community under tight control and was later jailed for sexually abusing children.

Balloting underway in government-forced vote on Canada Post’s “final” offers
Serious concerns over the use of online balloting have been raised widely by workers. Thousands face practical and technical barriers to casting a vote. Older workers, those with limited digital access, and employees in rural or remote regions have struggled to obtain login credentials or decipher conflicting communications from the union and the unelected Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), which banned a strike by postal workers last December at the orders of Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon. The absence of clear, accessible procedures has left many uncertain if their votes will even be counted.

NHS must resist doctors’ strike, its chief tells hospital leaders
He wants hospitals to press ahead with as many routine operations as possible, even if it means running A&E units with a skeleton staff, rather than cancelling clinics to ensure emergency care runs as normal. Mackey told hospital bosses in a call on Wednesday: “We’ve been very, very clear we want to have a different approach this time. You have noticed already we are in a different space compared to where we were last time, much more instructive to the BMA, much more resistant to their demands. Frankly we and you make decisions about safety, not the BMA. Do what you do best, make sensible decisions and we’ll stick together.”

Former US guard at GHF speaks of brutality he witnessed against desperate Gaza civilians
He recounts an incident in which American guards pepper-sprayed a Palestinian who was collecting food from the ground and who posed no threat. In another incident, a stun grenade was thrown and directly hit a Palestinian woman. "I collapsed and fell to the ground. That was the moment I realised I couldn't continue working there," the former guard told Channel 12. Recounting another incident, he said once Palestinians finished collecting the aid, the American guards started shooting towards them – in the legs and around them – to force them to leave the site.

Syria is secretly reshaping its economy. The president’s brother is in charge.
Over seven months, the committee has negotiated with the wealthiest Syrian tycoons, including some who are under U.S. sanctions. The committee has also made headway taking over a constellation of companies that were run out of Assad’s palace, the sources said. Many tycoons linked to Assad, including an airline mogul sanctioned in connection with drug and weapons smuggling, and a businessman accused of scavenging and smelting metal from Syrian towns depopulated by Assad’s army, are keeping some profits and avoiding state prosecution, for a price. But that bargain, amnesty in exchange for a mix of cash and corporate control, risks angering Syrians seeking justice.

Good things about America

So much hate is coming for America. I don't think it's that bad. So how about a thread of positivity? Life is not all about dating anyways.

I like the infrastructure
I like innovation culture – as if our future lies in our fate
I like social safety nets that allows one to live dreams (some works some doesn't but at still its good we have it)
I like the weather in some parts, especially the seasons
I like the peace and the order
I like it being quiet
I like the value of work – maybe not for material gain – but that Americans are looking for mastery
I like the products that come from here
I like most people here, really, even some females are good people too

There's a lot to like about America. I have to admit this is still one of the best countries in the world.

I think the natural environment is hard to beat in America. You can find a wide variety of stunning scenery and environments everywhere. Asia is very polluted and dirty. Even when you go to natural preserves around Asia there's a general feeling of neglect.

Customer service and goods. It's good to be a consumer in the U.S. because businesses generally make sure the consumer is satisfied. Plus there's a wide variety of products that can be purchased at a price much cheaper than the rest of the world. Apple products, quality furniture, cars, etc.. are all much cheaper in the U.S. Developing countries tack on outrageous import taxes to everything.

Real estate value. Some people may disagree with this but I still find U.S. real estate to be amongst the best values in the world. The subprime thing was due to scams in the financial sector but per sqf U.S. real estate is hard to beat. There are some markets where things are pretty overpriced but the amount of land and the quality of the houses you get is better than most countries in the world.

Social mobility. It's still pretty easy to map out a path to middle class if you're a poor immigrant who has some motivation and ability to learn. It's probably not better than let's say Sweden but it's pretty good when compared with the rest of the world.

I believe that Trump wants to use the so-called “Secondary Sanctions” on all countries that import Russian Oil/Gas, as a convenient excuse t dramatically escalate the Trade War with China into a full-decoupling of all Trade between the U$ and China, which combined with Trump forcing the ROC/“Taiwan” U$ puppet state to declare “independence” and/or the U$ recognizing them as the “Real China”, will force China to Invade Taiwan, thus giving the U$ a cactus belli to launch World War III against China, which means Trump will have Bipartisan support to use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law, suspend all Elections, and become De Facto President for Life, though this could dramatically backfire as it will either end in with this either ending in a decisive Conventional U$ victory (due to the U$ B-2 Stealth Bomber and Standoff Stealthy JASSMs, LRASMs, and Tomahawks, launched by B-1/2/52 Bombers in the case of JASSM, B-1 Bombers in the case of the LRASM, and Cruisers, Destroyers, and Submarines, in the case of the Tomahawk, destroying most Chinese Air Bases, Naval Bases, Warships, SRBM/MRBM/IRBM/GLCM launchers, and SAM sites, which despite Chinese DF-21/26 MRBMs/IRBMs and CJ-10 cruise Missiles launched by H-6 Bombers and Type 052D/Type 055 Destroyers, severely damaging many U$ air and naval bases in Japan and South Korea and Anti-Ship Missiles launched by H-6 Bombers and Type 052D/Type 055 Destroyers sinking several U$ Destroyers and Cruisers, causes China to suffer a decisive Conventional Defeat and Capitulate) that will lead to the overthrow of the Chinese Communist Party and the Balkanization of China (Tibet and East Turkestan will gain Independence) in a renewed Century of Humiliation, thus enshrining the Global Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist 1000 year Burgereich under the eternal Trump Dynasty, or escalate into a Global Nuclear War (due to a DF-21D, DF-26, or JY-21 ASBM, launched by a TEL in the case of the DF-21/26, or a H-6 Bomber or Type 055 Destroyer in the case of the YJ-21, penetrating the Aegis ABM system and sinking a U$ Aircraft Carrier, thus provoking a U$ Nuclear First Strike on China, and assuming some Chinese ICBMs survive, and that their MIRVed Nuclear Warheads penetrate the U$ ABM system, a Chinese Nuclear Second Strike on the U$) that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR that will Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

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.

Radlibs are trying to cancel FSF and Stallman

I know I am a little bit late to the party with this but some "anonymous" group tried to cancel rms and the FSF as well: archive.md/Pt37W (stallman-report.org). It's the usual shit: whining about Stallman's comments on Epstein, supposed "sexual harassment" etc. Basically, the author calls for Stallman to step down from the FSF and/or for FSF members to take him down.

It is already known who wrote this "report": Drew DeVault, a developer who worked (or still works?) on Wayland. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41859793

First Wave Black Metal Thread

Thread for the thinking man's music.
(speed-black metal / blackened thrash / oldschool first wave black metal / etc.)

Bimboification and Divine Feminism

Is the bottom finally starting to fall out from 3rd and 4th wave feminism? Right now bimbos are trending on tik tok and the fully embracing the male gaze growing popular among zoomer women. Along with divine feminism, which is almost an anti-feminism ideology that encourages women to become stay-at-home moms and obedient housewives if they wish to, and assuages their fears about it being demeaning to themselves and women as 3rd and 4th wave feminists are so keen on proselytizing.

One prominent bimbo tiktoker describes the bimbo lifestyle as an "ego death". Where women stop trying to foster masculine traits in themselves and instead cultivate their natural vulnerability, gentleness, and hunger for the sexual desire of men. Bimbos claim these innate traits of most straight women have wrongly been maligned by feminist as naivete, weakness, and subjugation by the patriarchy.

I think women gravitating to the antithesis of feminism is primarily due to the deteriorating economy, having a committed husband or boyfriend is quickly becoming a necessity as it has been throughout most of captialism. And bimbos encapsulate in a extreme manner, the things women have always known men want. I think there's also other converging trends at work.

Millennial women are now hitting middle age in earnest, and zoomer generations are seeing the poisoned harvest of feminism. Many millennial women are alone and miserable as either single mothers, divorcees, or spinsters that were never wed and face a future devoid of companionship.

Women have also gotten to experience capitalist alienation first hand for 60 years and are realizing that as much as a eunuch a housewife can be, it's still far better than being a prole. Zoomer women are realizing what men have always known, that only a small percentage of workers ever find a fulfilling career, everyone else just works to make money until they die.

I think this bimbo trend is the beginning of a wider revolt among zoomer women against feminism. Feminism can no longer hide its failures, and zoomer women cannot be spooked by horror stories of past female oppression like not being able to open checking accounts, since they have no living memory of it. And even if rights like abortion are taken away, modern technology, like the nearly dozen birth control methods that are available now, will mitigate much of the harm and keep zoomer women from reradicalizing. What do you guys think?

What's your opinion on a woman's body count.

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

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.”

Palestine Thread Pt. VIII

Continued from >>487384

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

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

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

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance. Meanwhile, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of HTS and current de facto leader of Syria, has launched attacks on Lebanon and attacked Palestinian liberation factions within Syria.

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

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

Benjamin Netanyahu was invited back to the White House for February 4th, 2025.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and unilaterally broke the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, refusing to move on to phase two of the deal.

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

Yemeni Houthi attacks on international shipping, in solidarity with Gaza, stopped in accordance with the ceasefire, following multiple successful Yemeni strikes on targets in Israel. After the resumption of the blockade on Gaza by Israel, Yemen's Ansar Allah stated that they would resume attacking Israeli shipping. Following this statement, the US, under Trump, resumed bombing Yemen, hitting multiple civilian targets. Yemen has launched multiple attacks on Israel since this bombing campaign began against them, as well as launching defensive attacks against the US Navy in response.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK.

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

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

Israel attacked a Freedom Flotilla boat near Malta for trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza.

And much, much more!

What Would Stalin Do?

When I first started working in the tech industry, I didn't understand the point of Scrum. I couldn't recall a single time when I thought that our daily meetings actually mattered. It wasn't long before my attention was captured by the horrors of writing mountains of documentation that would never be read, living through Jira hell, and nearly going mad from the pointless rituals of test-driven development and eXtreme(ly shitty) Programming.

The story I was sold is that all these big ideas are bigly necessary because big complex systems need big complex teams, which in turn need these big ideas. This struck me as a big damn lie. All you really need is good code, which needs good developers, which needs good teamwork - duh, right? But what follows is a bunch of bullshit boilerplate, standards and methodologies. Why? Because they serve to obscure the root of the problem: people giving a shit about the shit they're doing so that they can do it well.

If you're hiring people to maintain some voodoo code written by an overworked and disgruntled codemonkey ten years ago, or refusing to hire junior devs because you need "real talent" to maintain your Kafkaesque SaaS nightmare, then problem runs a *lot* deeper than just "not being agile enough" or whatever the hell other coping mechanisms we use to repress the problem. These insane business practices that drive insane development practices are literally insane, because they do the same thing over and over and over again - fixing the problems created by fixing the problems created by fixing the problems.

What the professional commentariat - the business gurus and glorified cultists, the chattering classes who preach incessantly on such matters - avoid mentioning is that the crux of good management involves _protecting the workers from such pathologies so that they can do their damn jobs._ The workers can learn to direct and motivate themselves if they want to, and they will if they have the freedom to do it. In one sentence: *They need to be given tools and techniques, not pizzas and parenting.* This has nothing to do with "agile processes" or "servant leadership" or whatever other perverted corporate ideologies that are being peddled to the successfully incompetent - it's a working-class reality.

Pathological business processes that exist solely to paper over the fact that people don't care about their work enough to do it right will inevitably create more problems than they solve, because they pile on even more reasons to not give a damn, and _giving a damn is the ONLY way to create a quality product._ But these firms obviously don't exist to create a quality product, but to create profits, and creating profits in a world where the appearance of productivity matters more than anything else - because it is rewarded with profits more than anything else - can lead only to either enshittification or the mass production of shit.

People won't eat the same shit forever, especially when it's being endlessly repackaged and made worse each time, unless they have no other choice. Our lives are too short to accept this. But our superiors don't view it this way - they apparently live in an eternal present and can't tell the difference between the long-term and the short-term anymore. They've unironically begun to believe that a successful business model resembles Cookie Clicker.

Mark Fisher coined the term "market Stalinism" to show how post-Fordist capitalism seems to have adopted a Stalinist obsession with the symbols of productivity over the real process of production, but I claim that he didn't go far enough. It isn't the case anymore that firms merely value the appearance of achievement more than actual achievements. Now, the moment they actually achieve anything at all, they stop seeking out actual achievements altogether. You already have the product, so why bother making anything new when you can just leech off of it forever? This isn't "market Stalinism" but Cookie Clicker Capitalism.

If I gave Stalin a laptop and asked him to play Cookie Clicker on it, what would he do? Maybe he'd start by setting some quotas for cookie output and creating elaborate bureaucratic processes around it. Maybe he'd make a plan to have this many cookies and that many grandmas by the end of the month, and order some associates to watch over the grandmas to ensure that they aren't trying to sabotage cookie production, only to replace them when they find no sabotage despite all the quotas being unfulfilled.

But I'm pretty sure that what would actually happen is that he would take one look at the game and tell me to piss off. "What is this nonsense, comrade? Stop wasting my time." At best, he'd seize the laptop and let some dorks at Gosplan take a look at it.

In other words, Stalinism's obsession with appearances was ultimately driven by some real interest in material progress. Stalin's approach was in many respects monstrous, but it wasn't meaningless. It had a pioneering logic to it - crash industrialization, planning, statecraft, a communist future - even if that logic relied on paranoid terror. In contrast, "market Stalinism" has turned into Cookie Clicker Capitalism, which has no logic beyond endless repetition. Imagine a mouse clicking on a human-shaped cookie, forever.

It's not like we can't have infinite growth - or at least a couple of million years of growth. The universe has a whole lot of stuff in it, more than we can even imagine. But this actually requires thinking about the far future and carefully planning for it. Cookie Clicker logic can't function when the universe is made to be so small. Yet, the successfully incompetent have managed to delude themselves into believing in a contradiction - a fantasy of infinite growth within a microscopically small fantasy world. Hell, even the "degrowthers" use the same logic! What we end up with are maniacs arguing over whether or not to keep clicking on the same damn cookies, instead of playing a different game.

So, if Mark Fisher were still alive, I would ask him an obscene question: What Would Stalin Do? (WWSD?) A capitalist Stalin might end up being a "market Stalinist" of some sort, sure, but I highly doubt that he would ever become a Cookie Clicker Capitalist. Why? Because Stalin - and Stalinism - was still animated by the spirit of socialism.

So, perhaps we should reclaim this spirit of socialism by flipping "market Stalinism" on its head. To combat the capitalist market economy inversion of the dominating aspects of socialist ideology, we need a socialist planned economy inversion of the liberating aspects of capitalist ideology. We need "planned Reaganism" to defeat "market Stalinism."

The rhetoric of Reaganism revolved around a desire to return to free-market fundamentals to combat the crisis apparently caused by the excesses of Fordist Keynesianism. He attacked the inefficiency and harsh overreach of "big government" and believed that American foreign policy consistently failed to combat the immorality that the USSR (as the "evil Empire") and its supposed leftist sympathizers stood for. He championed an optimistic vision that appealed to "common sense" over out-of-touch elitism, posing individual liberties and moral virtues as the true engine of economic progress.

We should argue that democratic central planning is not "big government" but the opposite - an antidote to an inefficient plutocratic oligarchy that generates mountains of bureaucratic waste to prop up a decaying capitalism and entrench the authority of its elite servants. Our moral outrage should be directed towards the "evil Empire" that is the global system of capitalist political economy as a whole, which cheapens and degrades morality by exploiting it for geopolitical theater and glorified PR stunts that obscure the mass suffering and resentment it causes. We needn't worry about out-of-touch elites when the common person is allowed to truly exercise their common sense through the responsibility of governing. Concepts like individual liberty and moral virtue can only flourish within every individual when it is given a stable foundation of collective material support.

To take this very serious joke even further: if the endpoint of "market Stalinism" is Cookie Clicker Capitalism, then the endpoint of "planned Reaganism" is Smash Bros. Communism. Rather than the trivial and autistic repetition veiled in shallow aesthetics that is Cookie Clicker, Smash Bros. Communism is the vibrant and dynamic confluence of individual agency and meaningful depth with a collective experience that is fun and accessible to all.

Reading General

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

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

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/191198.Mankind_Child_of_the_Stars
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.

Bannana Republic of Korea ?

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

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

Anarcho-capitalism is impossible

Anarcho-capitalism is impossible because no ideal society is possible, anarchy is disobedience to authority and free association and communism is a movement that abolishes the present state of things, not a society. If our history is class struggle then thinking about the future society is a distraction from it. Nothing but praxis matters, the strength of the far-left isn't that its ideal societies are better but rather that they actually do shit instead of sitting on the Internet all day and mining crypto or voting in elections and marching on meaningless protests that lead nowhere and achieve nothing or supporting economic superpowers that don't care about them and barely acknowledge their existence.

Go read Bordiga or Negri or whatever, I dunno.

I think Anarcho Capitalism is fine.

I think reason why we are so unpopular is due to us being cuntish.

the need for a second french revolution?

The Second `French Revolution`

Is increasingly clear there is an intense fight to eliminate nationalism.
Who and why have almost become irrelevant at the face of severity and urgency of the situation.
But my best guest is that the wealthy class coupled with ideological groups like academic communists clique and religious groups (there are intersecting circles as well as opposing circles on other issues. because life is not that simple). They all formed an alliance to suffocate and wipe out nationalism.

Humanity needs to make a choice. Either let it play out and accept the ideals of a unity and try to eradicate the racial differences. Or embrace the differences and take step towards the next level of the nation-sate: ethno-state.


Shall we aspire for popular uprisings to protect the national identities as second 'French Revolution' {actually a Polish Revolution or a Balkan Revolution or a European Spring?} (Since the French is digested anyway by the wealthy global ruling elite) against the global clique of nameless families and individuals who have been pulling the strings behind the scenes for far too long?

(I Dont wanna seem like I like Europeans, I want African states to set colonialism tribunals to punish to EUropeans and demans $trillions in reparations)

{I focus on europe because it is the region getting the most rape from the global ruling class and become their lab for the ethnic experiment. but I guess CHina and India is far from their reach at the moment anyway.}


What was I saying? Look, a group is set to eradicate national identities and most so-called democratic governments become their lap dogs. The aim probably boil down to control. without nation states and national identities humanity becomes just a mindless herd easy to control and own. The incredible thing is they are largely already in control. and THEY WANT MORE AND TIGHTER CONTROL.


lONG STORY short either fight back and protect your national identity or sit back and relax and let them own you, merge with other ethnicities.


tHe white people of the west is a prime target of this campaign. Those who threatened by the WWII seek revenge and a peace of mind in a world without the white men. I personally dont think the white men is any more evil than the brown or black men but the media brainwashing people in that direction. which is an arm of the global wealthy clique.


SO, anyway either protect your nationalities or accept your fate. the things are already in motion, and there's only two options, have fun {tbh, waging war is profit for them anyway. so they win again.}

Without quotas, we might be about to witness mass female unemployment, which could lead to a return of the arrangement that happened prior to first wave feminism: a smaller workforce, with women mostly absent from many professions, becoming stay at home wives instead.

Perhaps a Victorian arrangement, with affluent women going to college for personal growth and passion projects, instead of looking for employability and marketeable skills

Equality for me but not for thee. Fuck you. Cunt. Bitch. Whore. Slut. Slag. Go fuck yourself. I hate women.

Why is the left so fucking censorship/ban happy? Even on leftist forums, .orge and behind closed doors, you basically just cannot have discussion or acknowledge very real issues, because they sometimes are tangentially aligned to right wing narratives. This is also a problem in itself, the idea that the right is ALWAYS WRONG, when they just clearly isn't true, sometimes we are the ones who are spouting bullshit (usually from a place of idealism) and they turn out to be the ones that were acting in good faith.
A good example is Immigration, the left censored debate on this so hard, that it ceded the entire ground to the right. Now you have mass rape gangs, quality of life imploding in high immigrant areas, ethnic enclaves, increasing crime, lowered civicism and the left is still going "IF YOU DON'T WANT JASMINE SCENTED SEX WITH IMMIGRANTS YOU ARE A NAZI" while the far-right literally overtake the Establishment in polling because they actually address working class concerns.
You can see this as well with the rise of genuine antisemitism, Left censored the debate on Jews so hard, that when it turns out, shock horror, duplicitous religious psychopaths, are in fact, duplicitious religious psychopaths in a way everyone can BRAZENLY SEE, then it's the far-right who are the only ones with a narrative. Despite the fact, Christians and Muslims are also duplicitous religious psychopaths and push their bad faith bullshit as well, but because the far-right control the narrative because they never self-censored, they dominate the debate.
It's just wild to me, that Leftists, on sites like .orge, can't even engage in good faith debate, without crying for banhammer. They do realize that Banhammers don't actually exist in real life right?

Why are Koreans so ashamed of this video?

The Morphic Field

here's an interesting scientist named Rupert Sheldrake who studies phenomena like pets sensing when their owners are coming home, people feeling someone staring at them from a distance, or knowing when someone is about to contact them. I’ve had these experiences myself.

Sheldrake calls this the "Morphic Field." He believes some beings can communicate mentally, possibly through some form of quantum energy. For example, certain birds navigate using cells in their brains that sense Earth’s magnetic field, directing them where to go.

But you can’t replicate the Morphic Field in a lab. If a friend’s worry sends a mental signal to me, you can’t force it to happen repeatedly, so science can’t study it properly. This is why science often fails when dealing with human experiences.

Take the statement, "Pizza makes me happy." A scientist might test this by giving me pizza for every meal for a month. When I inevitably get tired of it, they’d conclude, "Pizza does not make this person happy." But that’s wrong—pizza does make me happy, just only when I’m in the mood. The same unpredictability applies to psychic phenomena if they depend on passion or spontaneity, they can’t be summoned at will.

If phenomena like psychic connections or the 'Morphic Field' can't be reliably replicated in a lab, does that mean they’re beyond scientific study or does science need new methods to understand them? How would you design an experiment to test subjective, unpredictable experiences like intuition or emotional resonance?

Take the Stoic Pill

>All emotions come from within.

You can't always control the external words, but you can control your emotional response to it. Focus on what you can control - namely, yourself. Conversely, if you can control someone else's emotions, you control them. Maintain emotional independence at all costs.

>Bravery and courage are the most important virtues.

Courage isn't absence of fear. Rather, it is action in the face of fear. Most of your problems would be solved if you'd be less of a pussy.

>Develop a bias toward action.

With limited exception, passivity will get you nowhere. Action and movement, on the other hand, will grant you the ability to overcome obstacles. You are not your feelings. You are no your thoughts. You are what you do. Pour energy into taking action on the things you can control. Stop talking or caring so much about things outside your control. The former makes you stronger and more capable. The latter makes you weak and a victim.

>The end or goal doesn't matter as much as practice.

A person who strongly desires to be fit but never exercises won't get fit. Conversely, a person with no particular goal yet who nonetheless exercises daily will reap the reward of fitness.

>Comfort is the enemy.

Comfort breeds weakeness. Contentment breeds decay. Look at obstacles as a means toward growth, and embrace discomfort. It is only through being challenged and facing difficulty that one is able to develop in a positive way.

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

Thread about planning, programs, laws, and practice (by the state or others) that have the characteristics of being politically incorrect and or morally questionable, but reasonable and or executable.

My specific request, give me literature about sterilization (forced or not) of people of color, breeding programs, family planning, and eugenics. Not talking about one of those "nAZi BreeDIng ProgRAm DoeSN't WOrK!!! *insert soy" type of books and documents. I am talking about literatures that actually tells me how it is done and doesn't just smear dung all over it.

Where does the power come from?

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

The "haggmaxxing" thing is a psyop

by desperate women to snag someone on the way down before they're totally infertile, even if it's some low-value craniumnuisance zoomer with nothing to his name but youthful looks. No one in real life is doing this.

The whole dating market in the west is fucked, topped to bottom. The hardcore blackpill stuff is incorrect but at the same time the plebbitor deboonking contingent is wrong too.

My thoughts on AI

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

Alright, this frog is getting it. I'd pin him down and spread those green cheeks, ramming my cock deep into his slimy ass. Every thrust would make him croak with pleasure as I pumped load after load inside him. I'd grip those fat, juicy tits and slap that frog ass red. his eyes would roll back as he begged for more, my cum overflowing from his hot little frog snatch. I'd make him scream my name as I pound him senseless, filling him with my seed until he's nothing but a quivering puddle of amphibian lust. Then, I'd flip him over, face down, ass up, and give that plump frog ass a thorough pounding, feeling his tight sphincter grip my throbbing cock as I emptied every last drop of cum inside him

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

Israeli military says four soldiers killed in Gaza, will draft 10,000 more troops
Israel's military announced Friday the deaths of four soldiers in Gaza, saying it needed thousands more troops to press its offensive, just as the premier's coalition faces the prospect of collapse over ultra-Orthodox conscription. News of the soldiers' deaths came as Gaza's civil defence agency reported 38 killed Friday in Israeli attacks across the territory, where Palestinians observed the Eid al-Adha holiday under the shadow of war for a second consecutive year.

Last week the Deputy Prosecutor of the Piraeus Naval Court found that the Hellenic Coast Guard (HCG) staff should face criminal charges relating to hundreds of preventable deaths on the Adriana on June 14, 2023. The boat—en route from the port of Tobruk, Libya to Italy with an estimated 750 on board—sank off the coast of the port of Pylos causing 600 people to drown, including women and children trapped below deck inside the ship. Just 104 people are known to have survived.

French dock workers block arms shipment to Israel
Links are small metal pieces used to connect machine gun bullets, allowing for rapid bursts of fire. There has been concern in media and among rights groups that they have likely been used against civilians in the Gaza Strip. Christophe Claret, leader of the dock workers in the port, said they had been notified that the ship was due to be loaded on Thursday with the equipment. "We managed to identify it and set it aside," he told Agence France-Presse (AFP), emphasizing that once dockers refuse to load a shipment, no one else can do it for them. The other containers for the ship will all be loaded.

‘Open prison’: The forced labour driving India’s $5 trillion economy dream
Ravi is a cog in the wheel of the soaring dreams of the world’s fifth-largest economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has boldly spoken of making India a $5 trillion economy, up from $3.5 trillion in 2023. But as Modi’s government woos global investors and assures them that it is easy today to do business in India, Ravi is among millions of workers whose stories of withheld wages, endless toil and coercion – telltale signs of forced labour, according to the United Nations’ International Labour Organization (ILO) – provide a haunting snapshot of the ugly underbelly of the country’s economy.

And I realized that leftists have really not addressed this in sufficient capacity.

The implication here is that if we're going to be fighting a revolution, the entire might of the US military would be opposing us.

I think this is very likely true. And if it's true then it is the single best explanation for why there is no political movement in the US:

- The US military actually existing and being powerful is a material reality we live with
- Most people believe that to fight their government they would have to fight against helicopter gunships and f35s or whatever. Yes most people.

HOWEVER, Russia does something similar, everyone shuns Russia, claiming they do all the warcrimes

Curiosity of the M65 and a question

I had seen a video online showing a fricking artillery cannon shooting a shell that was a nuke. Looking up some information, I learned the artillery cannon is named the M65, also called the "atomic annie", which was designed to shoot nuclear shells, such as the W9. (Fun fact, the M65 was part of Upshot–Knothole Grable nuclear test in 1953 at area 5 nevada test site)

The artillery shells for me was a whole other rabbit hole for me,and it made me wonder: Would it be hypothetically possible to have smaller types of shells that can be shot from a gun? Realistically, no, and even if it was hypothetically or scientifically possible, nuclear rounds would be absolutely illegal.

Well?

How do you meet new people irl?

For most of my life i haven't ever really had any friends who i could trust, one or two acquaintances came and went but I've never had anyone who i felt I could have a real connection with. I've gone through all of secondary school and college (idk what that would be for Americans sorry) without ever really having a real conversation with anyone. How do people socialise and where, is everything just online now or are people who didn't make long-term friendships in school fuarrrked in general when it comes to forming irl connections.

Estranged Adult Children.

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

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

You know, I'm not a Zionist or a Jewish supremacist or a Kahanist or any other such individual of that leaning, but it's very difficult to look at the behavior of gentiles over the past year+ and believe that the average gentile is a human being with a soul. Not Arabs, not Europeans, not Indians, not Christians, not Muslims, not Hindus, not Buddhists, not atheists, not anyone.

Not the stupid, obnoxious evangelical piglets feverishly demanding more children's blood because their disgusting, extra-fake version of Christianity has supplanted the teachings of Jesus with an idiotic fetishization of Jewish people and a manufactured ahistorical Zionist dogma. Not the crowing Catholics who offer words of condemnation but do nothing whatsoever materially to stop the wanton slaughter of their fellow man, not even in the cynical interest of evangelizing to expand the declining religious ranks of the followers of papacy. Not the vast majority of Muslims, who have done little, and certainly not most Muslim leaders, who have done far worse than nothing.

Not most of the western socialists, the majority of whom who have done little more than be right, and whose efforts to organize have not met the urgency of the moment. Not the "centrists," who by this point have largely held the "right opinions" for over a year, but have not taken adequate action nor moved adequately to replace the "centrist" leaders who consistently defy popular will in order to support genocide limitlessly. I could go through just about every strata of gentile politics, religion, spirituality, ethnicity, etc. and the vast majority would be the same.

Only the vile, ugly, repulsive ideology of the Zionists is reflected in the deeds undertaken by its adherents. Only the Kahanists, the Jewish supremacists, the Israeli fascists, the genocidal imperialists act upon their own will and act to realize their goals. An "anti-Zionist" who sits around watching anime, playing video games, engaging in ideological wank sessions about the "right" beliefs, and tweeting "fuck Israel" is barely a human being. Even a gentile Zionist like Keir Starmer, a contemptible worm, at least puts in the effort to be an evil fucking piece of shit. And how about Ben-Gvir?

Well, Itamar Ben-Gvir might be fat. He might be stupid. He might not be talented, or clever, or have any real redeeming features, but at least he knows what fucking side he's on. He knows what he has to do to be "useful" to his "cause." At the end of the day he works with others towards a common goal: that goal just happens to be racial supremacy, the murder and enslavement and torture and rape of millions of people. He likes it, that's what he stands for. What the fuck does a leftist in the west who isn't actively shutting down arms factories stand for?
Fucking nothing. I've wanted to kill myself every day for years, but at least now that I have some other purpose I try to figure out ways to do something to achieve that other purpose. What the fuck is the excuse of these other western leftists? My God, they just fucking sit around waiting for the "movement to build" or even worse just fucking jerking off. Why don't they just kill themselves?

I don't understand how anyone can possibly justify this stupid bullshit. I don't understand it. I don't understand it from anyone, but good God, how in the fuck can anyone just allow this? Do people think they're going to be around forever? Are they comfortable with what's going on?
I thought that non-Jews were human beings, but that's really difficult to believe. Zionist Jews have their supremacist project, anti-Zionist Jews are a minority of a minority and accordingly it's understandable that they've accomplished very little, anti-Zionist non-Jews have nothing. Nada. Zip. And no excuse for their utter failure. The only anti-Zionists on this planet who deserve credit are Yemenis, Gazans, Hezbollah, Iran, the Iraqi resistance, and those few outside of west Asia who have taken it upon themselves to destroy factories complicit in the genocide. I guess the Freedom Flotilla people deserve the tiniest bit of credit, but what does it say about Europe that Malta allowed the IDF to use its airspace to attack a civilian aid vessel?
Europeans might be the most pathetic fucking people in all of existence if Americans didn't exist.

I will die to destroy the war machine. I have tried over and over to find some connection to anyone who could or would help. Maybe I'm too fucking stupid, or maybe most people are just do-nothing cowards; all evidence points to the latter, since there appears to be no 'secure' way of doing this in place. It's completely unforgiveable to me, whatever it is. I am so fucking tired of this bullshit.

/yankii/ - Delinquent Manga/Anime General

Since .org has this thread I decided to make one here too. Plus I just like delinquent manga.

Delinquent manga is unique in that its main characters are the complete opposite of perverted, socially inept self-inserts that are especially common in harem manga and isekai: social, vagabond, streetwise, brutally honest, hot-blooded, short-tempered, adrenaline-seeking, unruly, crude, manly, volcel, courageous, free-spirited tsundere assholes. They break all the conventions that are accepted in mainstream manga and are arguably the inspiration for legendary battle shonen protagonists like Naruto Uzumaki. Delinquent manga is like a shadow of what mainstream manga is. It is also an expression of the mangakas' lust for simple freedom expressed through the characters they wished they could have been instead of the salarymen they have become.

This is the peak female form.
I love strong, capable and assertive women, unafraid to speak their minds. Socialist women.

I think capitalism selects for self-conscious histrionic wrecks in women and many dating issues come from that

We should uphold this type of women devoted to humanity. A friend, a mother, a worker. Full of honesty and respect.
They exist in this society but they are constantly pulled under the rug, if you know one show them your respect and admiration.

Between the years 1995 and 2000 there was a significant decline in the suicide rate of teenagers

The decline was almost entirely driven by teen boys killing themselves at a significantly lower rate.

What is the explanation for this data?
Many of you were teenagers yourselves during this period, what made life so good back then?

What's too high of a body count.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Friends, let's unite again to fight the evil of this world. Anyone interested in fighting with me against the rot in the world, contact this email [email protected].

Looking for Insights on Rafiq and Revleft

Hello, I want to understand who is Rafiq, what happened and where they are

my friends

i miss my friends so much. they all hate me and i dont know what to do. i know what i did was wrong but idk

You might think that I'm like all the other transfem singer/songwriters, but actually I'm like super Christian & really into Diamanda Galas

How does this old hoe bag, she was a long time former escort, understand men's sexuality better than 99% of women.

She basically says in the video that escorts understand that there are consequences to both their actions and inactions.

Escorts who are successful long-term like her understand that they can easily be replaced and that it only takes a couple of times of disrespecting a guy or just not being present is all it takes to lose them as a client forever.

So escorts are very keen about how they treat men. This is something that a woman in a conventional relationship does not understand. She will neglect her man and not understand that there are silent consequences to this.

And many men will not assert that their needs are not being met and the woman will take this as the new normal and assume that her partner has accepted this worse treatment.

I do notice this with sex workers. They are very respectful and attuned to your emotions. I understand that's only because they are being paid. But it's still wild that this basic form of emotional intelligence is not understood by the majority of women who are supposedly more in touch with their feelings.

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

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

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

US kidnaps prime minister it imposed on Haitian people, as Western hemisphere’s poorest country desc

This story's a month old now, but still bears posting:

March 6, 2024:

On Tuesday, the US government effectively kidnapped Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry, a right-wing figure whom it had hitherto staunchly supported, a Miami Herald report has revealed.

Against the will of the vast majority of Haiti’s impoverished people, Washington—backed by Canada and France, the other imperialist powers long involved in Haiti—placed Henry in power following the July 2021 assassination of the country’s president, Jovenel Moïse. The US-led “Core Group” of nations has continued to support Henry ever since, although he has no popular or legal-constitutional legitimacy and has refused to hold parliamentary or presidential elections despite the mandates of all elected officials having long expired.

Now, however, under conditions where the country is overrun by criminal gangs, most of which have close ties to rival factions of Haiti’s ruling elite, the Biden administration has apparently concluded Henry is a liability who should be flushed from office. To accomplish this, as the Herald article documents, US imperialism is resorting to its traditional thuggery and criminality.

This is all playing out as Washington and Ottawa scramble to put together a foreign paramilitary force to be deployed to Haiti with US and Canadian logistical support to bloodily restore bourgeois “law and order” on the Caribbean island-nation.

Both the US and Canada have a long history of neo-colonial occupation and military intervention in Haiti, including as recently as 2004 when they deployed troops to oust its elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. But under conditions where they are waging war against Russia in Ukraine, supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and actively preparing for war with China, and where there is visceral opposition among the Haitian masses to an intervention led by either of North America’s twin imperialist powers, they are anxious to contract out the job.

Last week Henry traveled to Kenya, whose avidly pro-imperialist government has volunteered to lead a Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to Haiti and staff it with more than a thousand Kenyan national police.

In Henry’s absence, the gangs launched a coordinated offensive, whose purpose it soon became clear was to derail the planned MSS deployment and oust the prime minister. Over the weekend, the gangs stormed two Port-au-Prince prisons, freeing several thousand prisoners, and attacked Haitian National Guard facilities. On Monday, they encircled the capital’s two airports forcing them to suspend operations.

On Tuesday, Henry attempted to return to Haiti via the Dominican Republic, only to find his plans thwarted by his Washington patrons. Even if the Miami Herald exclusive published on Wednesday does not put it in so many words, its account makes clear that the Haitian prime minister was effectively kidnapped so that US officials and those of allied governments could browbeat him into accepting new marching orders.

According to the Herald, Henry, who had spent the previous two days in the United States and had informed Washington and the UN of when and how he intended to return to Haiti, was suddenly informed by Dominican officials as his plane approached Santo Domingo that he would not be allowed to land.

This soon proved to be only an opening gambit. Once his small 13-seat jet changed course for the US territory of Puerto Rico, Henry received a second midair message, this one from the US State Department, asking “him to agree to a new transitional government—and resign.” When Henry’s plane landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital, it was “immediately met by US Secret Service agents” and for hours the Haitian prime minister was refused permission to deplane.

During this time, Washington, working with various CARICOM (Caribbean Community) leaders, was sounding out Haitian opposition and business leaders on putting together some type of new interim government to provide a fig-leaf of “popular support” for another imperialist-backed military/security intervention in Haiti.

According to the Herald, “The US proposal would have Henry usher in a new government structure in which a new prime minister and presidential board will lead a transition to elections and prepare for the Kenya-led mission. He would agree to step down once the new structure has been established, and a new prime minister is appointed or the security mission has deployed—whichever comes first.”

On Tuesday evening, US officials, acting in classic imperial potentate fashion, were making clear that Henry’s days were over. The Herald cited an unnamed US National Security Council official as saying the administration was “not providing any assistance to help the prime minister return to Haiti.”

“Our support,” the official continued, “is focused on helping the [Haiti National Police] restore security, expediting the deployment of the MSS mission, and accelerating a peaceful transition of power via free and fair elections. Our dialogue with Prime Minister Henry has been focused on these efforts and the need for security and a peaceful political transition.”

On Wednesday afternoon, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller clumsily tried to cover up the abundant evidence that Washington is once again carrying out regime change in Haiti, shuffling in figurehead presidents and prime ministers as needed. Miller told a press conference, the Biden administration is “not calling on him [Henry] or pushing for him to resign.”

Western pop culture does (not) suck

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

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

Vagisil for fellas

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

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

Are online leftists actually illiterate?

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

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

Artificial Incompetence

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

anyone else ghost everyone?

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

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

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

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

Do you do this anon?
This anon just feels so done with talking with people again so is deciding they will wait a day and if they do not feel different will ghost the only person they talk to.

Jakob Böhme

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

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

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

Cloudflare is malicious software

For an entire month now, Cloudflare has been discriminating against alternative web browsers to the Google hegemony by refusing to "verify" them as legitimate browsers through their browser check loop. On some browsers this has been blatantly malicious by designing the loop to hang indefinitely while it rapidly consumes all of the user's memory until a program crash. This has included Palemoon, Librewolf, Waterfox, IceCat, Seamonkey, Falkon, and more. Basically it seems like anything that isn't a subservient Chrome fork or Firefox itself is being gatekept out of the web by Cloudflare. The likelihood that this is being done deliberately is high because a) they have been doing it for an entire month, b) the entire time they have refused to respond to developers reaching out asking them to fix it, and c) Cloudflare themselves have stated that their secret proprietary methods of fingerprinting "human" browsers are tailor-fit to each browser.

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

Punks are the most fake subculture. Its nothing but conformity with those people. Don't get involved. Everything is bullshit.

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

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

Duolicious data leak

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

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

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

for Twitch streamers, is makeup the means of production?
