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.

BREAKING: Al Jazeera publishes name of man said to have ordered murder of Hind Rajab

Al Jazeera Arabic has named Major Sean Glass, of the so-called “Vampire Empire” tank company of Israel’s 52nd Battalion of its 401st Armoured Brigade, as the occupation commander who allegedly gave the order in Gaza, from inside an Israeli tank, to destroy the car carrying Palestinian child Hind Rajab and her family, as well as the ambulance rushing to rescue them, killing all those on board both vehicles.

Five-year-old Hind was the last to survive of her family and a heart-breaking recording of her terrified last conversation with a Palestinian emergency despatcher ended with Hind telling the female despatcher that it was hard to breathe because she didn’t want her mother to have to clean blood from her dress. The bodies were not found for several days; forensic examiners found 355 bullets had been fired into Hind’s car from close range by an Israeli tank.

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”.

🇹🇹🇺🇸 Bodies Wash Ashore in Trinidad After U.S. Strikes

Two mutilated, burned corpses have washed up on the shores of Trinidad, believed to be victims of the U.S. military campaign against “narco-terrorists” from Venezuela.

The bodies appeared days after the first U.S. strike on Sept. 2, which killed 11 people at sea. Both showed signs of explosive trauma, missing limbs, charred skin, suggesting they were caught in mid-ocean blasts from U.S. aircraft.

Washington claims the campaign targets drug traffickers, but regional leaders and legal experts say it increasingly resembles a covert war on Venezuela under the banner of counter-narcotics.

Trinidad’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, a key Trump ally, openly supports the strikes, even as locals say the bodies washing ashore are evidence of “casualties of war.”

So far:
· 6 confirmed U.S. strikes on vessels since September
· At least 37 killed across the Caribbean
· Victims include possible Trinidadian and Colombian nationals

>Nicolas Sarkozy found guilty of criminal conspiracy in Libya trial

The former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been found guilty of criminal conspiracy in a trial in which he and aides were accused of making a corruption pact with the regime of the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi to receive funding for the 2007 French presidential election campaign.

But Sarkozy was acquitted of three other charges. As the head judge, Nathalie Gavarino, continued to read the verdict on Thursday, Sarkozy was found guilty of criminal conspiracy but acquitted of corruption, misuse of Libyan public funds and illegal election campaign funding. Sentencing has not yet been announced.

It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.

U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.

🇮🇷| Iran defies reimposed UN sanctions by turning on proper identification without spoofing

After snapback mechanism caused UN sanctions to be reimposed on Iran, countries are supposedly forced to stop Iranian vessels and inspect them.

Last week, Iran’s FM has declared that anyone trying any action against Iran’s vessels, will be met with a reciprocally and proportionately response.

To show that Iran is not joking around, according to TankerTrackers, Iranian vessels are now transmitting identification (AIS) information without spoofing for the first time after 7 & half years.

Iran convicts two French nationals of espionage linked to Israel
Iran’s judiciary says two French nationals have been handed lengthy prison terms after being convicted on multiple charges, including spying for Israel.

According to the judiciary’s Mizan Online website, the pair were found guilty of “spying for the French intelligence”, “association to commit a crime against national security” and “intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime”.

Their names have not been made public.

Following Trump’s call for dialogue on Monday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US president can “either be a President of Peace or a President of War, but he cannot be both at the same time”.

“One can hardly be branded as President of Peace while provoking endless wars and aligning with war criminals,” he posted on X.

In June, the US joined Israel in striking Iranian nuclear facilities after five rounds of indirect nuclear talks with Tehran.

Araghchi said the US president has been misled regarding Iran’s nuclear programme.

The funny thing is, Leftypol bans people for alleged sympathy for eugenics but then allows posts that call for sterilization of cisheterosexual males or killing of human male fetuses.

They also suggest punitive measures against prime age women for rejecting them for “Chad”.

They never enforce a "eugenic ban" consistently because they're full of shit, but you couldn't really "ban eugenics" without understanding why it happened and how it dominates every institution. To say "eugenics bad" is like saying "Big Brother is ungood" at the Inner Party club, but worse.

I gave up on the idea that the worst enablers, the screaming harridans who love saying sexpol shit, will ever shut up. Why would they ever stop something that has been their "win button" to gain position over anyone who wanted honesty and something worth living for in the world? I truly believe the left was a mistake as "the left". It has always had this Satanic element about it as far back as the French Revolution, not that the guys who really did things were very excited for pushing the proto-eugenist vanguard.

As far as reparations, reparations imply there is anything the ruling order possesses that can make up the damage they have done, as if any of this could be fixed to pretend we'll have "normal" back. That's over. I would demand reparations in the form of stable wealth as a permanent condition as a start, but it's not about fairness. If the people have the thing they wanted, they will turn away from such a vicious society and vicious institutions and say "we're done with this". I'm certain society could procure labor regardless of this. You'd be surprised how people get uneasy if they're not working for a long time, because it is a harrowing feeling of powerlessness over your own life. The problem now is that what they want us to do in "working" isn't work. It's submission to this overbearing managerial state that openly declares that the point of labor is to choose who lives and who dies and glorify the essential act of culling. They don't want us to work. They want us to die and suffer. If this was about productive labor, there is no reason for any of the onerous conditions placed on the people. But, if you do that, the middle class professionals whine about how they toil while "stupids" have an easy life and far more happiness for all of the trouble of living in society. Middle class jealousy and envy prevails over everything today, because they were too proud to let us have a future and insisted this power grab and lockout was their purpose. They were never going to let us in their society.

Per PressTV:
In her book titled Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre recounted how she pleaded with Epstein to intervene after the “well-known prime minister” subjected her to terrifying experiences and forced her to beg for her life, but Epstein coldly told her it was simply part of her job.

“After the attack, I couldn’t stay a fool. Having been treated so brutally and then seeing Epstein’s callous reaction to how terrorized I felt, I had to accept that Epstein meted out praise merely as a manipulation to keep me subservient,” she wrote. “Epstein cared only about Epstein.”

Giuffre referred to the man as the 'Prime Minister,' fearing retribution if she revealed his identity, although she had previously pointed to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in court filings as one of the many elites who had raped her, a claim he has repeatedly denied.

According to Giuffre, she first encountered the 'Prime Minister' on Epstein’s private island when she was 18 years old in 2002, where he subjected her to violent and terrifying acts.

She described how he repeatedly choked her to the point of losing consciousness, inflicting extreme fear and violence upon her, which she detailed in her memoir.

The politician “raped me more savagely than anyone had before,” Giuffre said, adding that she immediately went to Epstein to beg him not to send her back to the prime minister.

But Epstein showed indifference, stating, “You’ll get that sometimes,” when confronted with the politician's brutality.

Key takeaways from the Trump/Putin summit in Alaska?
Here are mine at a glance, having barely watched this story:

1. Fucking nothing happened.
2. Trump seems to be practically begging for a renewed "Russian interference" circus to distract from him being on the list and heavily involved in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
He has a deep desire to have people discuss something other than him actually being a pedophile.
3. "Anti-imperialist" 5D chess by Russia.
4. The US will use the ICC against you and then invite you over and not even arrest you.

There is no actual material reason for rent to be more than $250. There is also no material reason for full price housing that fits 2 people to be more than $16-20k. Zoning laws, inefficient power delivery systems, and developer/landlord profit seeking aren't 'counterarguments', they are what enable the ridiculous prices.

A post-and-Beam frame using a double wall infill system takes 5 days to build, and yet any kind of "small home" of this kind or similar is disallowed in most of most American counties which only permit them as ADUs.

Let's dig into arguments by the housing cartel and debunk them:

Land cost: No one actually ethically owns exclusive rights to land lmao, it's just threats of violence on a natural commodity like water.

Septic cost: It's called "composting". For legal composting in USA you must apply, meet multiple unecessary criteria, and then use an NSF-Certified unit that runs into the thousands. The crucial point here is that the NSF-certification is a permission slip, not the actual cost of the materials, which are basically negligible.

Greywater: A composting toilet is a millennia old solution, and we know greywater wasn't historically sewage and is perfectly fine as water for plants and soil. The modern solution costs a few hundred bucks and is called a "mulch basin" or a "branched drain system".

Labor and skill: Often quoted as "hundreds of man hours". How much do single individuals work to achieve the "American Dream" of actually owning their home instead of pretending through purposefully patronizingly, misleading laws that allows an illusion of semi-ownership while the bank actually gives permission to reside? Usually takes their whole lives if they can even manage to do it, most can't. Tens of thousands of hours of work in a lifetime without actually achieving the kind of freedom built into the American Dream. This mortgage model is clearly inferior to reserving time in people's lives for dedicated house building. It's been estimated that without data centers, our GDP growth would be less than 0.1%. Therefore most of our economy isn't even contributing to growth, so instead of pretending to grow our economy we invest some time in teaching youngins how to build a home?

Housing structure costs. Local trees can be used to mill a simple post-and-beam frame. A natural byproduct of the milling is sawdust or wood chips. Sawdust or wood chips with borax is just as thermally effiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's land speculation most of all. This is a cool read, though.

Tritium is in stuff like self illuminating exit signs, gun night sights, medical equipment etc. It is used in nuclear weapons to do something like boosting the nuclear eplosion.
Boosting Before detonation, a few grams of tritium–deuterium gas are injected into the hollow "pit" of fissile material.
The early stages of the fission chain reaction supply enough heat and compression to start deuterium–tritium
fusion; then both fission and fusion proceed in parallel, the fission assisting the fusion by continuing heating
and compression, and the fusion assisting the fission with highly energetic (14.1 MeV) neutrons. As the
fission fuel depletes and also explodes outward, it falls below the density needed to stay critical by itself, but
the fusion neutrons make the fission process progress faster and continue longer than it would without
boosting. Increased yield comes overwhelmingly from the increased fission. The energy from the fusion
itself is much smaller because the amount of fusion fuel is much smaller. Effects of boosting include:
▪ increased yield (for the same amount of fission fuel, compared to unboosted)
▪ the possibility of variable yield by varying the amount of fusion fuel
▪ allowing the bomb to require a smaller amount of the very expensive fissile material
▪ eliminating the risk of predetonation by nearby nuclear explosions
▪ not so stringent requirements on the implosion setup, allowing for a smaller and lighter amount
of high explosives to be used

I think the existing left is really mistaken to do it this way, there isn't enough action being taken, and certainly not enough organized action, and that's what actually leads to seemingly misguided individual acts - it's all desperation in the face of an organized left which does even less of note.

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

We Shut Elbit Down! Reflections from the Cambridge, Massachusetts Campaign Against Elbit Systems
Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. On September 8, 2021, Elbit announced it would open an “Innovation Center” in Cambridge, Massachusetts for its subsidiary company KMC Systems. The Innovation Center lasted less than three years before activists forced it to close. Last year’s early-lease termination of the KMC office is the first time that activists in the United States have forced Elbit Systems to close a facility. It is also one of the few successes that the US Palestine solidarity movement has achieved since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza in 2023. This anonymously submitted analysis explores the year-long targeted direct action campaign that successfully evicted KMC Systems from Cambridge.

The late 2010's and early 2020's upheavals were predicted 10 years ago by a relatively simple model that accounts for elite infighting, income inequality, number of 18-29 y.o. people, etc. The same analysis was retroactively applied to many civil wars and revolutions throughout history and the results were pretty consistent: wars, revolutions and upheavals follow pretty deterministic patterns. The thing that's impossible to predict, is the trigger, the casus belli. In-depth paper in [1], 2020 prediction in [2].

On the other hand the rate of profit is falling (empirically proven in [3]), which makes the contradictions accelerate: median living conditions become increasingly unbearable, inequality between the working population and the elite skyrockets, etc. (coronavirus and climate change are just accelerating even further the process). The question is not if, but when, will capitalism collapse. Two options at that point: regression, the elite fights back and wins (fascism, neo-feudalism, apocalyptic-tier world wars, pick your poison) or progression, the working class fights back and wins (socialism, which means the long term construction of post-scarcity society i.e. communism).

If you look at numbers for long enough you find correlations based on nothing in particular. None of this is real though. The motives for war throughout history are simple: those who instigate them risk nothing, because all costs for the war are borne by the oppressed. It's a win-win for the instigators, and so they will do so whenever they can mobilize an army that presents a serious threat. The soldiers are paid, and the performance of war deters most invasions by pre-empting them.

There is never any serious "elite infighting". The chief purpose of war is to exhaust the lives and resources of the general public, so that they may be kept in a state of despair and the existence of large, centralized state is made "necessary". If not for this, then people of all nations, regardless of their past, will look at their situation, look to each other, and see that nothing will ever be accomplished by these wars except the aggrandizement of people who should not be encouraged. There would, at the least, be a declaration of universal peace and severe punishment of all instigators and transgressors who create these things. In the long term, the peoples involved, whatever the nature of their polities, will see a global authority as the best outcome. These peoples will never be "one state" or "one nation", or one thing managed in the manner of a city-state or any state we have yet known; but for all intents and purposes, the policy of these entities would be set in accord with the needs of the global apparatus, because the value of maintaining that peace would be far greater than any ambition of one of the polities to dominate the others. The regime of "Plan War" throughout history accomplishes the same ends, but keeps the people exhausted with an ever-present fear of invasion. The world of peace relies on good will and trust to not ruin what would be a clearly beneficial condition for all of the polities involved. The world of war is functionally the world of peace for the aristocracy; by instigating these wars, with whatever excuses are needed to produce them, the aristocracy secures its own existence, which was always reliant on incessant instigation and setting the other orders of society against each other.

If you see history as aristocracy designed it, then of course all of the actions of that aristocracy are naturalized. They are at once wholly Nature (and "above Nature", a higher nature than the actual nature we know), and are the sole exemptPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm a highschool drop out who never had the tension span to read anything more than 200 pages, why should I now read some 700 pages of confusing dialectics? isn't it enough to read some wikipedia articles or something? aren't there any movies that explain all the theory?

Another thing I can say about philosophy generally is that philosophy at its core is the most low-level operating thought of knowledge. Theological knowledge, which is where most philosophical inquiry began as a thing humans did in institutions, did not arise by Reason, but because of a necessity for this knowledge if humans (or any other animal) were to navigate the world and respond to it with any deliberation. Theology doesn't go into the rational details of its process. A fully developed religion can rationalize its claims, but at a basic level, religion's claims about anything are not about having a theory or rational explanation, but about something the theologian believes to be imminent, eternal, and very important if they are to speak of the world. Philosophy as an answer to "big questions" all on its own is not very useful. Where the classical philosophers start is their examination of society, human beings, based at first on their religious knowledge that was adopted out of necessity and perpetuated for many generations. There are of course new cults and new religions that come about every so often, and this was more common in the ancient world than it is today. The "one big religion" idea didn't take off until the classical period, and it only got really big with Christianity. Buddhism was also sort of this, where Buddha's message was a singular one, but the way Buddhism adapted is that its spiritual leaders establish their school, and another leader establishes a different school, and their concept of the spiritual grows and adapts with the times.

Philosophy proper has always had a troubled relationship with anything religious, because many of the people writing philosophy were doing so in explicit opposition to the spiritual authority of their day. This was especially pronounced in Greece, and really really pronounced in Plato whose whole thing is that he hates democracy and the masses. Then the Romans came along and became administrators, lawyers, and most of what we think of as standard law was set in place. There's a bigger reason why this happened than saying it was because of some thought leaders declaring it so, but at a basic level, humans are deliberate actors in the world. They couldn't be otherwise if their existence was a real one.

So my thing, the thing I do really well, is get into the weeds of the most basic germs of philosophical thought. I had to, out of necessity, think about how I think, and how thought coulPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

My experience with schools is that they went far out of their way to ensure kids couldn't read. There was no coherent instruction in phonics, reading assignments were so ridiculous that I couldn't believe anyone could learn that way. I was lucky that I learned to read before I entered primary school. If I hadn't, I would have never learned. They insisted I was illiterate to the bitter end. Germanics do not possess genuine thought.

Anyway, I think, OP, you're quite capable of reading. A lot of books frankly suck and aren't worth reading. When I read anything "deep", I keep my bullshit detector running, and when I see obvious bullshit, it pops off. I had to become very good at discerning bullshit and what angle, if any, the writer had. It's rough to learn that humans are so habitually dishonest that they lie for the sake of lying. But, the liars are never nearly as clever as their schemes insist they are. Eventually, someone writes the truth because they gain nothing from lying and their objective is the genuine dialogue I wanted, but was denied because I was a "monster". I do not consider the people who were promoted or the cause they were promoted for to be worth anything and ask why humanity chose to do this, but they did, and there is a very bad but real reason why it did turn out that way.

The best place to start, I've found, is to be a scientist first, rather than a philosopher or "theoretician". Then pick a subject you know well enough, and become really good at it. Then do something no one else is doing, and find a niche that isn't being filled in the overall body of human knowledge. It's easier said than done, but so far as I know, no one writes about the subject I do in the way I have, for the purposes I have. It took me a long time to get there, and I'm never going to be appreciated as a great writer, but that's not the point. I read and I write first of all for myself, and I've found a few people who aren't disgusting fagons reveling in this shitshow humanity became.

Through all of it, never forget what you hate, and what you know to be Evil. Never, EVER put blind faith in anything and certainly don't place faith in a fucking human. I will never understand the person who exhorts others to maintain blind faith. It's Germanic and disgusting.

The worst mistake I made, which is unforgivable for me despite everything, is that I let disgusting Germanics do their thing where they bully others into accepting their sick, degraded culture and society, and told myself I was stupid. The real problem, of course, is not limited to "Germanics". But, I have, over the course of reading, found the entire Germanic mindset to be intellectual rot and poison, and that is what it was intended to be. This idea of German philosophy was entirely modern and seeded for the explicit purpose of opening Germany to the imperial system, with the disastrous results we see before us today. Something in my bones knew what this thing was when I saw it, but it took me far too long to investigate history and see for myself what sort of people did this and what it was for. That's why I am disgusted by the whole of modern continental philosophy, which ultimately led to the corruption and destruction of analytic philosophy and the knowledge of the classics with nothing to replace it. That leaves me with little to go on except my own efforts to work out some system.

If you really want to get philosophy, study formal logic, first with a crude beginner book then get into the deeper history. I will never be an expert in formal logic but I learn from those who are, and they are among the most vocal critics of the present academy. The ideology that dominates today is aggressively Wrong and insists on making the world conform to it, because they figured out that they could relitigate reality until everyone is forced to accept it. I learn, out of necessity, some of the key philosophers who pushed the worst of it, and broke down why they are wrong. Those who take pride in aggressive Wrongness are not interested in any honesty. They want to destroy any honesty, so that dialogue is terminated and the essential acts common to their race, like torture and humiliation, are universal and all that can exist.

I do warn, if you get too much into this philosophy, you have to become a nihilist. It's the only way. It will also drive you mad, and you might spend too much time on things that are very small, so that others need not suffer the bullshit in the future. My life is already worthless, so I figure I can spend my life doing this, while I am able to do so. I refuse to accept this system of habitual lying and dishonesty and the disgusting fags who imposed it on the world.

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

Chicago man fined $130 by ICE agents for not carrying identification

Republicans Aren’t Just Gutting Health Care. They’re Taking Your Sick Leave, Too
In Missouri, voters overwhelmingly approved a referendum guaranteeing statewide paid sick leave, and an increase to the state’s minimum wage. Shortly after the mandate went into effect, Republicans in the legislature repealed it outright. In Nebraska, Republicans tacked on an amendment to a similar law — also passed by referendum — that significantly narrowed the pool of businesses covered, and which employees were entitled to the benefit. The amendment also stripped employees of the right to sue over the enforcement of the law.

The Iraqi Left Ahead of the 2025 Elections: Between Unity and Renewal
In the context of the transformations taking place within the Iraqi and international left, it is essential to combine traditional forms of leftist struggle with new arenas in the digital space and within official institutions. Political participation in all its forms is one of the essential tools of struggle. The struggle is not limited to the streets, factories, farms, offices, or theoretical critique; rather, it is necessary to engage in all fields, including work within state institutions, parliaments, and local councils, as they are important arenas through which the leftist voice — and the voice of the manual and intellectual workers — can reach the public and broaden its social influence. We are well aware that Iraq’s electoral laws are still incomplete and in need of radical reforms, and that the political environment is filled with structural problems, political money, sectarian and nationalist influence, and the power of militias. However, Iraq remains, despite all this, a country of the Middle East that cannot be compared with stable and advanced democracies. Nevertheless, any limited space of freedom or opportunity for participation must be utilized by leftist and progressive forces to build their presence, influence political and legislative decision-making, and expand the scope of their struggle through the tools of the state itself. Participation in elections is not submission to reality, but rather an attempt to change it from within, and it is one of the multiple arenas of struggle in which political, organizational, social, media, and digital work must be integrated.

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.
