What happened?

I don’t get it. Five years ago we were told this girl was going to save pop music. She made an album where she blended art pop with trap, industrial and dark ambient. She was single-handedly usurping the control if the major labels. She is also extremely socially conscious and leftist, basically the zoomer Joan Baez. Now she’s only released one song in the past two years and it’s bland as hell. Why

Animal Well

New Cave Story-like has dropped.
So far I am enjoying it a lot. Sound design is really good. The animals are either really cute or really uncanny. There's a spooky atmosphere. I don't know whats going on but I think the animals are ghosts because they disappear in light sources. It's really open ended and you just sort of wander around until you get stuck. Upgrades are REALLY fun so far (not in that they change much about how you traverse the world or anything just that they are fun to use and funny). The game is like looking at an animal at night and they make a growling noise and you think its a wild boar when its just a goat.

FDP Liberal Politician makes "Hitler Mustache out of Shit"

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/disgusting-german-politician-martin-neumaier-films-himself-licking/

🇦🇹 Is it only me, or do recently the politicians are literally becoming degenerates slowly?

If you believe another video sequence, this sex toy is wetted with faeces while it introduces itself into his rectum. Another video shows him how he places the dildo on a Koran.

He also explained that he would want to "shame to death" one of the women of the Islamic prophet Mohammed. This video is apparently even too problematic for the social network "X", it has now been removed for violating the rules of the platform. It could also be criminally relevant, but the presumption of innocence applies.

In times when all content has been sacrificed as a bent within the traffic light, FDP politicians apparently have to attract attention elsewhere. This was now apparently taken a little too literally by Martin Neumaier, second on the list for the local elections in the Swabian 70,000-soul city of Aalen in the Ostalbkreis.

On the net, he presented strange videos in which he performs sexual acts on himself in Adam's costume, stirs up on faeces and mocks both the German national anthem and the sacred scripture of a religion.

Neumaier is also naked on social media - but quite voluntarily, as he admits.

Mayoral candidate and five others killed in shooting at campaign rally in Mexico
A mayoral candidate and five other people have been killed when gunmen opened fire at a campaign rally in the violence-racked southern Mexico state of Chiapas.

From Ang Bayan: Rights Organizations Condemn Marcos For Establishing A “Special Committee” For Human Rights
Karapatan called Marcos’ move a “a desperate attempt to window-dress the grave human rights situation in the country.” It ridiculed the “committee” as tasked with nothing but “coordination.” It is useless, just as useless as the Inter-Agency Committee set up pursuant to AO No. 35 supposedly to resolve extrajudicial killings, disappearances, torture and other serious human rights violations, it said.

Why are people, especially Americans, so accepting of what's happening?

Cost of living is rising every day, colleges are debt slave machines but parents will still push their kids into going. Rapidly rising homelessness, inflation, etc
But everyone seems to be ok with it or at least tolerant.
Why?

You will Never be an Anarchist

You will never be a real anarchist. You don’t abolish capitalism, you don’t abolish hierarchies, you don’t really abolish the state. You are a neoliberal twisted by Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard into a crude mockery of Kropotkin’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back business partners mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your childish beliefs behind closed doors.

Anarchists are utterly repulsed by you. Houndrets of years of evolution have allowed real anarchists to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even ancaps who “pass” sound uncanny and unnatural to a anarchist. Your free market is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to agree with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt from your ideology the second he gets sober.

You will never have commrades. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the loneliness creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you on a state-owned graveyard, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will be able to visit your graveyard without any profit for a corporation. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably on a state-owned graveyard.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is turning back tho, just read Kropotkin or Bakunin like a big boy.

Undertale is primarily a commentary on the ways people approach media. Genocide route, in that context, is a response to playing through games in the increasingly prevalent mechanical and consumptive way. While there's enough in there to support Toby exalting authorial intent, I think he's noticing trends in the ways people approach games (consumptive and completionist), but hasn't really diagnosed the cause, which is why he condemns the player for playing through genocide (or choosing to see it without playing themselves) as a personal failing rather than getting at things like the culture industry or trends in game design and marketing that encourage that kind of approach. As not a great fan of authorial intent I still see a lot of value in a game (or anything really) having the guts to resist people who only want to engage with it in a boring or distanced way.

What does /leftypol/ think of the riots in New Caledonia? Quick rundown for those not in the known:

>New Caledonia is an island in the South Pacific near Australia, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands
>It was colonized in the 19th century by France
>Typical colonial shenanigans. Enslavement, forced labor, French settlers moved in that still control most of the land and economy
>Violent independentist movement in the 20th century resulted in the Noumea Accords which called for three referendums on Independence
>Voting in the referendums and other local matters was restricted to long-term New Caledonia residents who were living there in 1998
>BUT at this time the white settler population, as well as other outsiders who got there by also being part of the French colonial empire (Polynesias from Tahiti, Walis and Futuna, Cambodians, Vietnamese) were already the majority of the population
>Unsurprisingly, all the non-locals voted to stay with France and each referendum failed
>France is now unilaterally breaking the Accords and letting over 10,000 people be added to the voting rolls (who will all vote for pro-France politicians ofc)
>young Kanaks (the name of the Indigenous people of the island) are revolting now over this, some police killed, Micron seething and sending in more police/military, TikTok shut down

Linux, Wikipedia, Mozilla Firefox, Signal… I've always believed, that these were the "good guys" in the tech world. I have believed, that there is a countermovement against BigTech. I remember, ten years ago, I actually donated regularly to Wikipedia, because I believed in their mission of free knowledge and shit. But in the last months, I found out that all these "alternative" and "non-profit" projects and organizations are deeply intertwined with BigTech. It's over. There was a time, when people thought, that television would bring light to the world. It didn't, it actually brought darkness to the world. And I was one of those people, who believed, the internet would bring light to the world. Now I realize, it was a mistake, just like television.

>Princess of Wales: Kate image withdrawn by three news agencies amid 'manipulation' concerns

>Three photo agencies have retracted a picture of the Princess of Wales over concerns it has been "manipulated".

>The image, taken by Prince William and issued by Kensington Palace for Mother's Day, showed Catherine with their three children.

>But Associated Press was the first to pull the image as it "did not meet" the agency's photo standards. The agency noted an "inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand".

>Kensington Palace declined to comment.

>The photo shows the princess sitting down, surrounded by Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince George, the latter wrapping his arms around her.

>It was the first official photo of the Princess of Wales since her abdominal surgery two months ago. Since then she has stayed out of the public eye.

>The image was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales's social media accounts with a message from Catherine which said: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

>"Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day."

america twitter activism and gaza

To clarify I am pro-Palestine and have held this stance for quite some time now. I do believe that recent wave of palestine supporters have good intentions(and done a lot of genuine good) but I find certain aspects of their activism fascinating, cause they come directly from american twitter activism and its intersecting to see that deal with a real-life issue cause over the past decade this activism has campaigned and marched for causes like american bipoc struggles and queer activism
And while I believe that the majority mean well(and actually haven't done any harm) they are employing tactics and rhetoric that don't make sense outside twitter activism, For instance I came across popular posts stating, "You probably didn't know that x is actually was Invented by Palestinians" or discussing how Palestine is connected to the experiences of black or queer people

On the Militia Question

Not trying to be an enlightened centrist here, but it has always seemed odd to me how people on the right and left fetishize the concept of a militia taking down a conventional army, when reality has shown the opposite result every time, I come from a shitty third world nation that is barely held together most of the time, and my country has experienced numerous rebellions by Islamists, ethnic nationalists, and communists, and every time they have failed. This is because a "well-armed and well-funded militia" is no match for a well-armed, better-trained army with superior logistics and structure. Of course, in the event of a total collapse, a militia could potentially become the only proper authority for a region or if faced with an entirely incompetent and corrupt army. However, in most cases, a real army always prevails over militias. I don't know how people fell for this meme really, Eve Marx bought into this up and advocated for workers' militias, which ultimately proved to be a massive waste of time and loss of life for everyone involved, the Spanish Republicans insisted on using them in the Spanish civil war and they were a massive hinderance that lost way too many battles, and thoughts of forming an actual army was "Stalinism" and a betrayal of the revolution.

Islamic accelerationism

Acceleration is often discussed in relation to the singularity and its effects on human society but rarely on it's impacts on climate change and desertification.
What people like nick land imagine a post singularity future earth is a desolate arrid wasteland controlled by sentient self managed industrial machinery. Implying that no human civilization can survive in such an environment.
I think this is naive, and I believe pockets of human civilization can survive even under the harshest desert climates. I'm actually going further than this and suggesting some ideologies have even thrived under such conditions. The most prominent one being Islam.
Will the desertification of earth help spread Islam ?
