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.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
Netanyahu pledged victory in Gaza almost two years ago. The end result: military quagmire, facing arrest warrant for war crimes, and 200,000 new Hamas recruits.

In Iran, he dreamed that he could erase 40+ years of peaceful nuclear achievements. The end result: every one of the dozen Iranian academics that his mercenaries martyred had trained 100+ capable disciples. They will show Netanyahu what they are capable of.

But his arrogance doesn't stop there. Having miserably failed to achieve any of his war aims in Iran and compelled to run to "Daddy" when our powerful missiles flattened secret Israeli regime sites-which Netanyahu is still censoring-he is openly dictating what the US should or shouldn't say or do in talks with Iran.

Apart from farce that Iran will accept anything a wanted war criminal has to say, the inevitable question arises: what exactly is Netanyahu smoking? and if nothing, what exactly does the Mossad have on the White House?

Mass protest at Piraeus Port against the shipment of military material to the murderous state of Israel

A loud and clear message against the shipment of war material to the murderous state of Israel was sent from the mass protest organised by the ENEDEP dockworkers’ Union in COSCO and Piraeus Labour Centre at piers 2–3 of Piraeus Port, where a ship carrying military-grade steel bound for Haifa was expected to arrive. Under the pressure of today's mobilization, the deadly containers were not loaded and not included in the cargo of the ship Ever Golden.

Dockworkers declare to all: we won't stain our hands with the blood of the peoples!

We will not become accomplices to the genocide of the people of Palestine!

No to the involvement of Greece and Piraeus Port in the wars of the imperialists!

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.

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

And it's interesting that despite the technological progress, there were still people that draw.

Even nowadays, with AI generated artwork, people still draw.

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.

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.

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.}

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.
www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-audit-on-group-based-child-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse
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?

You point out correctly that we do next to nothing to avoid conflict between incompatible cultural hierarchies. The result is disrupted social harmony. Immigrant women can opt out of the old ways, that's one half of the solution. Got any ideas how to do cultural assimilation ?

A lacking stake in society is economic, you are incorrectly attributing that to culture.

This is an article from 1943. I think it accurately summarizes the current situation of the feminist movement in China today. For instance, the article states that some feminists only know how to shout empty slogans and favor women.
In today's China, women who are truly involved in labor do not make such remarks. Instead, it is often middle-class women who support these claims. We call these women "little fairies" because they are so impractical.
The action you mentioned about women striving for equal labor treatment has already been realized in China (the "women can hold up half the sky" in the Mao‘s era).
However, when women's labor rights are increasingly being infringed upon, the voices of the working women who truly need to speak out are instead drowned out by these "little fairies".It is precisely because of these "little fairies" that the conflicts between men and women have become increasingly serious

What are your recommended essential books on Chinese statecraft, warcraft, and spycraft?

What about the essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?

Thank you!

As a foreign comrade in the U.S., have found China to be quite mysterious due to contradictory progaganda over the years. I see China as biding their time for capitalist nations to cannibalize themselves, avoiding conflicts as much as possible as recommended by Sun Tzu. Have read China is becoming more Americanized, with the youth embracing Halloween(with it being mostly restricted or banned), rap(before being banned), and 90s sitcoms(rumored to be circulated underground). Also read the government suppresses unions/workers to avoid Western bureaucratic pitfalls and excessive middle men. Have also heard the chinese are more liberal with their racism, though not as hateful or grudging with it and it is not as taboo to criticize whatever minority groups.

Regarding China's socialist aspects, they seem to be very fickle, given their actions during the Cold War and inaction afterwards, The chinese seem to be nationalists dipped in red. Heard from Chinese-American (who admires modern China but detests socialism) argue that Marxism conflicts with Chinese culture and is antithetical and only a label at this point. Personally, given the fact of seeing enough videos of Chinese industrial workers getting crushed and maimed, it seems socialism is only an aesthetic at this point with the poor work conditions.

Overall, see China as the lesser of many evils not a savior

Sorry for not replying to you in a timely manner.

For the official governance methods in China, you can choose to read "Xi Jinping Talks about Governance", which has an official English translation.As for the warcraft and spycraft sections, to my knowledge, there are no official books specifically introducing these topics, as these strategic issues are not so openly discussed in China.However, you may be able to search for websites and magazines aimed at Chinese military enthusiasts, where you may find the answers you are looking for。

>What about the essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?

If you want to have a detailed understanding, then there are plenty of things you need to read.But the simplest way, as the comrade who answered for me said, Mao's books can help you quickly understand all of this.By the way, you can also read some books by Lu Xun, as he is widely recognized as one of the most revolutionary writers of the early 20th century in China.

Yes, young people in China consider some customs from foreign countries as fashionable, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Just like foreigners sometimes celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival, I think it has closed the gap between people in different countries.It's just that the consumerist atmosphere inside makes me feel a bit…nah
Unfortunately, if I understand correctly, you seem to have made some mistakes about the situation of Chinese trade unions. China's suppression of trade unions has not solved the problems of bureaucracy or intermediaries. The government only suppresses workers who organize unofficial trade unions to protect their rights, while government established trade unions do not work for workers' rights at all.And yes, China allows complaints from the public about minority groups because the goverment needs to divert people's attention

Simply put, Mao appeared to be a nationalist because he needed China to serve socialism (Stalin's theory of building socialism in one country).And those who after him, in my opinion, regarded socialism as a tool to serve the Chinese nation.So when some principles of socialism hinder the strength of the Chinese countrPost too long.

>They don't export the revolution, true. Their contribution to socialist projects in other countries is that they continue trading with them, negating weaponized isolationism.
During the Mao era, China provided support to other revolutionary forces in Asia, even aiding Albania in Europe.However, after that, as a price for joining the World Trade Organization, China officially gave up exporting revolution and only did business with countries around the world.

>It's lower stage socialism. They have social wins like dramatic poverty reduction, really good public infrastructure, really steep rise in wages/living standards and expanding public services. They're genuinely striving towards 'real' socialism at a snails pace.

In the eyes of the left-wing in China, just like Brezhnev's "developed socialism", the primary stage is completely a deceitful lie

Shitlibs seem to think that conservative politicians genuinely believe in their bs if they're not outright Nazis who want to establish the Fourth Reich. But what do you think? Do conservatives genuinely believe what they're saying or are they just vicarious parasites who say it just so the proles leave them alone with their complaints and are actually absolute deviants behind the scenes?

Since June 2024, we have been building a communist encyclopedia, Revolupedia, to provide easily-understood explanations to Marxist theory and allow for further study.

Overtime, our project and community has expanded to maintain hundreds of articles, a library of texts from Marxist thinkers, and detailed quotations.

We welcome all communists to join our effort to build a revolutionary compendium, whether anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist or Maoist!

Ok I'm assuming you are arguing in good faith, and that you think you are only being consistent within your worldview.

However there is the neo-con conundrum.

If you criticize one of the designated enemies in the "neo-con hall of threats" they somehow become immune to any criticism you make against them and you also have agreed with their agenda. Even-though that was not your intention. No matter how much you protest, you get counted as consenting to their wretched warmonger causes.

Your strategy might even have been to undermine neocon political capital by equating them with their designated enemies. The neocons have figured out to hack this strategy and gain political energy from you if you do.

The neocons are very basic imperialists at heart. They operated on the economic circuit of investing into means of military domination that gets a return on investment every-time they manage too loot another country, by toppling governments or bombing countries to rubble. (Tangent: They are increasingly failing in their efforts to do so and every-time they invest into means of military domination, they cannibalize the "western host". Imperialism is causing losses )

They seek to imperialize the world, and they figured out a trick to convert every criticism you have of countries in their crosshairs into a virtue matrix that justifies what they are doing as a holy crusade to bring morality to the heathens. (Except they have updated the rhetoric). Take for example Afghanistan before the 20 year neocon forever-war (they labeled "war on terror") , that was ruled by the Taliban and you could probably make a reasonable criticism that it wasn't democratic, and then the neocon hijacked this for their war mongering: By pretending to bring freedom and democracy to Afghanistan. We all know how that story turned out. Trillions of dollars set on fire, millions dead, and the Taliban still rule Afghanistan.

I don't know how to "break the spell".
Maybe accusing the neocons as the threat might work. Like that drone-container attack on Russia's nuclear triad, that threatened our security by destabilizing the nuclear weapons balance.
Maybe blaming the neocons for all the faults in Russian, Chinese, Iranian,… societies could work. For example Iran lacks religous freedoms, and the neocons can be blamed Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Interesting idea actually. Knowledge bases have a propensity to suffer from the 'I'm the embodiment of truth' syndrome.

Without the assertion of 'Tha Truth' a opinionpedia can form. Let ideological currents be renamed to thought-collectives. And every such thought-collective can curate it's opinionated version of the pedia. If an article has several entries by multiple thought-collectives the reader can switch between them or access a diff-view that highlights opinion differences/agreements.

Not as a philosophical stance, objective reality exists after-all, but as a rejection of arbiters of truth. Because arbitration powers rarely coincides with an interest in objective reality.

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.

Socialism is the stage of societal development for building towards communism.
Communism might be the final form of societal development or more likely also just a stage towards something else that comes after.

>Can liberalism, capitalism, and individualism exist as separate political traits relative to a country?

Parts of it can.

For example individualism has 2 components:
The good part: a desire for personal autonomy.
and
The bad part: a type of victim blaming that strives to hold people responsible for things out of their controle.

The first part is probably a innate species being.

The second part is usually tied to a system where rulers commit crimes against those they subjugate and then project the blame on the victims. That likely can't exist outside of the specific system of repression.

Step back a bit to see where these things came from. Communism referred to political establishments where wealth was held in common by members of some social formation (which is to say, ordered society). This could be a city-state or a congregation of believers. The commune was autonomous in its relations with other communes, and said very little about social engineering people to "make them like it".

Socialism entailed at its core some form of social engineering, and considered the units of social life the de facto economic units, rather than the individual or political units per se. The only political position of socialism is that the government has to allow anything in socialism to happen. The opposite of socialism is not capitalism, but individualism. Socialism primarily referred to changes to the familiar institutions, among them the family and what future arrangements humans might devise. It's a very different strand of thought from communism, and both are very different from the slave and peasant revolts of the past whose aims were altogether unrelated to anything the modern revolutions were. All of these are alien to what communism and socialism became when pernicious influencers claimed them for their self-serving, narrow program. By the 20th century, there was no possibility of socialism succeeding because its principal backers did not want any leveling of wealth or social status, and saw invasion of the private life of the lower orders as their new mission. Socialism envisioned social engineering "from below"—usually with the expectation that there would be lower class members who buy what the middle class socialists want, which was at first not incompatible at all. That was suddenly and deliberately attacked from all angles in the late 19th century, just when humans were starting to speak to each other and ask if this was the only way. Some said no, but all permissible political ideas said there must never be another world. I don't think it was possible for this to have been averted for a variety of reasons, but even now we are continually surprised to learn the rulers of humanity really are that evil, even though we should know better. It doesn't occur to most of us that torture for torture's sake is a great world, but if you're the torturer, to do anything but that is "retarded", and you don't want to be retarded do you?

As for the latter question, speaking of "isms" generally, none of these are total systems but they mean what they mean and aren't freely exchangeable articles that can be adopted or imposed by diktat. "Liberalism" broadly refers to such a wide range of ideas that nearly everyone today is, in one way or another, a "liberal", and the self-styled liberal parties are perhaps the most anti-liberal forces today in the sense that liberalism entailed freedom or independence from institutional control. Today's liberal is proudly despotic in their outlook and doesn't seem to find it weird that the present society is far more invasive and punitive than the ancient regimes ever were. Meanwhile the "neo-reactionaries" reproduce boilerplate liberal notions of what humans are or should be. It's a strange reversal where the conservatives are hyper-liberal tards, the liberals are insane death cultists who laugh at "freedumb", and the leftists can only retreat to imagined pasts and literally believe there can be no new ideas. It would be a fascinating book to describe just how this inversion took place, but that's not the purpose of TRI. Really, I blame Marx and Hegel for sowing a lot of unnecessary confusion. To be fair to Marx, it mostly fell on his inheritors to promote the worst stupidity of the Marxist camp, who mindlessly repeated the "total system" of something which inevitably turns inward on itself unless it's attacking some other thing non-stop. It was overwhelmingly the Marxists who allowed the far rightward turn of "the left" and did their level best to destroy any part of the left that did look to the future and what technology meant in the past century. Everywhere a Marxist writes anti-tech diatribes, ironically while shaming the Luddites who were largely vindicated by history. Destroy the machines that capitalists stole from workers to begin the extermination was the correct action if you wanted to save yourself, not blind faith in "historical progress". Yet now we're exhorted to want to return to a past goodness in humanity that never existed. People who lived in the Soviet system would tell you it wasn't roses or paradise. It kind of sucked unless you got with the program, though getting with the program is the only thing this failed race seems to value and fetishize now.

But, all of the prior "isms" that are placed in the discourse or were in the past discourse are increasingly irrelevant. The only idea that prevails in the 21st century is the eugenic creed, and it violently displaces any potential for an "other system". It will only be displaced, when its time comes, by a clique of power-mad people, who see their future as despotic rather than the anarchic, lawless republican husk eugenics left behind. They will more than happily surrender everything to a single ruler who rules entirely by their whim, because all other possibilities have been irrevocably destroyed. I keep asking why people are so enthusiastic about licking boot for a god-emperor who mind controls everyone, but humans really do not think, and Satanics absolutely do not.

The standard reading of Nineteen Eighty-Four is not only completely wrong, but a deceitful one which either stupidly or maliciously misses the point. Nineteen Eighty-Four was primarily a work of satire directed towards:
1. The writings of James Burnham and other post-Trotskyist thought (The Managerial Revolution, bureaucratic collectivism, etc)
2. Anglo-Christian cultural norms, with emphasis on moralism
3. Orwell's own experiences within the BBC and other institutions
That Orwell himself might have misunderstood his own work is irrelevant. The dystopia in Nineteen Eighty-Four is not a Stalinist one. It is more comparable to Nazism, but ultimately it is distinctly Anglo-Saxon in its character. The correct reading is as a critique of nascent postmodernist trends within developed Western capitalist societies.

This. Most discussions about masculinity often delve into the same cartoonish impression of "Conan The Barbarian" against some giants or fighting an epic war.


Gender roles were mainly just about who makes seed and who bleeds every month
All that "women are dainty and must be worshipped" is a modern invention made by Germanics.

This is a bafflingly idiotic false dichotomy. The idea that the Christian concept of the Second Coming has anything to do with the Zionist nationstate called "Israel" is a lie made up to sell Zionism. Pre-Zionist Christian eschatology didn't hinge anything on a modern colonization project. Even the idea that a "Jewish return" would necessitate genocide was contradicted in scripture - it was a product of Zionists like Herzl (an atheist) and others whose plan was to colonize Palestine and forcibly remove the Christians and Muslims in order to do so. Zionism was gradually inserted into Christianity with increasing frequency during the 20th century, often very cynically, as in the case of the influential "Scofield Reference Bible," which was likely commissioned by a Zionist named Samuel Untermyer.

There are, today, Evangelicals in the US who would insist that this interpretation is the only one, but American Evangelicalism is basically a state religion with a bunch of political functions at this point, and stuff like Christian Zionism and "prosperity gospel" would, at other times, have been viewed as heresy.

On top of that, your question is built on a premise that only God as interpreted by Christian Evangelical Zionists is relevant to this question. I won't ask how old you are, but it's a really astonishingly naive premise. Even religious Jewish Zionists, who apparently exist, don't predicate their belief in God on the Evangelical Zionist narrative that killing all the non-Jews in Palestine will bring Jesus back and then all the non-Christians will burn forever. Jews don't believe Jesus was the messiah, of course religious Jewish Zionists don't predicate their religious or political beliefs on bringing back someone they consider to be a false prophet! They reject the New Testament! It's part of being Jewish. There are some Jewish people who believe Menachem Scheerson was the messiah, there were some Jewish people who believed Sabbatai Zevi was the messiah, but religious Jews in general do not believe Jesus of Nazareth was the messiah, so any conception of a "second coming" is dismissed.

Muslims believe in the Abrahamic God, and also believe tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

To be fair the Word-trade-tower buildings did not collapse from the impact of the passenger planes. They collapsed later, after being on fire for a while.

While large sky-scrapers are not exactly made from silly putty, pound for pound they've got less structural integrity than common low to mid rise city buildings that are 5 to 15 stories tall.

I'll be honest i'm no demolitions expert, so i can't really say.

My expectation is that if significant irregular damage is done to a tall building like that, the top part would begin leaning in one direction. Since buildings aren't very flexible, it would sheer off and then the top part would slide off one side, leaving behind a building-"stump".

Of course this assumes a regular steel box-frame, which the WTC did not have, it had a strange thing going on with a center column and all the rest of the steel frame was in external walls of the building. So that might explain why the towers fell the way they did, i don't really know.

There was a smaller building near by the towers that also collapsed, and that seemed really odd, since it didn't appear to have been damaged all that much.

Since we don't really have 1:1 examples to compare this too, because airplanes usually avoid collisions with buildings, it'll remain speculation.

However since this attack ended up being the political justification for launching several wars, a political conspiracy seems likely, meaning that they might have knew the attack was going to happen but instead of foiling it they let it go through for political expediency of war mongering. I think wars generally get started by lies, so you are correct to suspect the 9/11 narrative to be un-trust worthy.

Yeah, the thing is… with Tower 7 it wasn't even a direct hit. Loads of buildings have had major fires without just collapsing like that, including some skyscrapers. When you compare that with direct hits to buildings from missiles, drones, etc. you see a lot of cases where they don't do anywhere near that kind of damage, even when the damage is extremely severe.

>a political conspiracy seems likely, meaning that they might have knew the attack was going to happen but instead of foiling it they let it go through for political expediency of war mongering.

Oh, absolutely. Especially after the Canestraro declaration this bit is a foregone conclusion for me at this point. Even before that, it had been demonstrated that US intelligence agencies (and even Mossad) were aware of the hijackers and had warned the Bush White House, which was staffed with Project For a New American Century guys who had already declared the need for a "new Pearl Harbor" to justify another war with Iraq.

I feel the same T7 doesn't add up. But somebody has to research the company that build it, to make sure that the building wasn't a skimp-job. (a scheme to switch out good construction materials with shit quality and pocket the difference). 'Cause that could also explain it collapsing after it got sneezed on. Gotta rule that out.

Isn't one of the main plot points shitting on the Cultural Revolution? I should read it before screeching I guess but the clips from the adaptation that I've seen might as well be from Prager U and I do wonder if it gets the love it does simply because it's from le China.

I think people liked it because the 'high concept science fiction porn' is just amazing and the characters are very good.

The main theme in those books is the dark-forest solution to the Fermi paradox. (We can't see any signs of aliens because everybody in the universe is hiding). All the aliens think like ultra neocons, interstellar diplomacy doesn't exist and the way to be safe is to exterminate rival species or hide from extermination. That's a very myopic outlook, and could be considered reactionary. Dark Forest is not realistic but it is how some people think.

In my humble opinion the cultural revolution was a mistake, the goals were honorable but the implementation was a total crap-shoot. The critique of the cultural revolution in these books is slightly anti-communist, yes, but it is not too bad, it will not spoil your enjoyment of it. It is not a main plot point, 90% of the books is just exploration of cool scifi ideas.

One of the political themes is how technologically less advanced humans try to cope with more advanced aliens that want to destroy humanity. It reflects how many people in the world felt about the military interventions of the United states. The aliens even say that humans are bugs, which mirrors US propaganda from the cold war that depicted Chinese people as an insect colony.

The author has a philosophy related to Daoism and Taoism that teaches indifference to the suffering of others. I did not like that but he is not forcing it on you, his writing style is the opposite of Ayn Rand's. (She is trying to force the reader to see the world her way in a very obnoxious way)

<what else can be said

The science was very well researched for the time of release, but since then some of the predictions have been refuted.
The secondary theme in those books is the idea that civilizations are trial and error.
The ending of the third book is lame.
