Lenin: Video Games Are the New Cinema

>Typical zionist projection slop on North Korea
>Punish kids for 3 generations because traitors or some shit
>Russia evil wants to destabilize poor South Korea
>Kim Jong Un secret good guy
>Russia destabilized Venezuela somehow?

Why don't Russia and China make games where you fight USA/NATO with cinematic campaigns?
I would love to play that.
Video games are the most efficient ways of delivering propaganda and you can tell just by how much controversy they generate and the youtube video essays rebuttals that come afterwards.
Only the west is taking advantage of this. Meanwhile China is trying to get on the west's good graces. Even Russia with its shitty philosophical Atomic Heart bullshit didn't cut it.

No. They must make Chinese COD where you do Black Ops shit like blow up Data Centers and Liberate an ICE facility, followed by a TNO The Fire Rises-style civil war missions. Trust me, American slop consumers would love that shit. I could write the campaign and in any decently run universe I would get an Oscar for it.

Anybody got any ideas how the anti-imperialist countries can make COD-like games?
Only based game developers out there are the ones that made Knights of Al-Aqsa.

Zak Cope

Now that the dust has settled, what the fuck was his problem? Why did he disavow his work on imperialism and what's he doing today?

The booty was too short or empty.
R: 11 / I: 4

Iโ€™m puzzled by how the global left took the objectively wrong lessons from Cheโ€™s military campaigns

Now, I get that things were different back then. Che was one of the most, if not the only well known leftist guerrilla figures in the West, a truly romanticized ideal for university students and academics to idolize and see themselves in. But Iโ€™m sure that even back then, with just a little research, they could have realized that his military theory was half-baked. It was written specifically within the super specific context of Batistaโ€™s Cuba and when applied outside those unique conditions, it failed.

In fact, I feel itโ€™s much more important to look at those failures and what they reveal. Che in the Congo is a good example of how Third Worldism simply does not work. Che brought specifically Afro-Cuban veterans of the Cuban Revolution with him, partly to avoid appearing as an imperialist. But in the Congo that distinction was irrelevant. The Latin American context of race and religion was simply alien to the Congo, where tribal and religious identities mattered much more. Congolese fighters wouldnโ€™t work with one another if they belonged to different religions or had tensions with another tribe. And even when you found two groups that had no religious differences or negative opinions of each other, they could literally be unable to work together because they didnโ€™t speak the same language. There was also a general spiritualism that the Congolese fighters couldnโ€™t simply let go of. They refused to fight in trenches because they believed it was bad luck and that they would become sick and die if they were in them. Che encountered this kind of refusal again and again.

Then there was his adventure in Bolivia. Bolivia appeared to fit Cheโ€™s ideal model, a poorer country under a military dictatorship. So by his own theory, it should have been fertile ground for successful guerrilla warfare. Instead the campaign failed because the dictatorship had implemented modest land reforms. Those limited reforms were enough to reduce rural support for an insurgency, leaving Cheโ€™s forces without the local backing and logistical assistance they needed.
I think that if Che had survived, he might have learned from those failures, refined his ideas and produced a more realistic and pragmatic theory of revolutionary warfare. But he died and became an icon for millions. Still, I feel like contemporary leftists should have looked at these failures and seen them as a fairly obvious reason to rethink his theory, rather than turning it into an inviolable principle.

Cynical Socialism / Practical Socialism

I don't really know what else to call my views. I'm a socialist in a third world country and I've been on this path for quite a long time. Since I was young, more than anything I've always wanted my nation to have a decent standard of living, so that ordinary people don't have to live in conditions worse than dogs, as far too many of them do today.
I've done some aid work, spent roughly a third of my life involved in socialist groups and I'm still active today. I do believe I've done some good but obviously nowhere near enough.

But there are also things I've come to accept. One of them is that I don't think Marxism is a realistic solution in itself. Anyone who claims that Marxism will inevitably become reality is deluding themselves, perhaps even more so than the Islamists. That doesn't mean I think Marxist thought is useless. Quite the opposite, Marxist-Leninist economics, sociology, history and political writings contain an enormous amount of material that is still incredibly valuable. I see them as necessary resources.
At this point, I have come to believe that the thing that matters most for third world societies is authoritarian developmentalism, regardless of ideology. It could be nationalist, Fascist, communist, ethnic, religious, monarchist or something else entirely. What matters to me is whether a centralized state can actually be formed that has the capacity to force through development, to industrialize, build infrastructure, improve education and healthcare, create jobs and ultimately pull people out of the slums and the conditions they are forced to live in today.

I don't particularly care what ideological label such a government carries if it can actually accomplish that. I increasingly see this as the only realistic path for most third world societies. Liberal democracy in my view is the worst option when it simply reproduces stagnation, poverty and political paralysis. And liberal socialist democracy just as bad when it offers neither meaningful socialism nor meaningful development, also leaving people trapped in the same misery and stagnation.

Imagine waiting 20 years for a new classicvania-style Castlevania game. The last one in this style, aside from the terrible Lords of Midnight game on the 3DS, was for the Nintendo Wii in, like, 2008: Castlevania: Adventure Rebirth. A series known for its extravagant art style, beautiful baroque-esque paintings and character designs with a wonderful gothic flavor. And instead of hiring Japanese artists to honor a Japanese series, they hire Western Tumblr-trained artists who completely desexualize and ruin all of the theming and have no soul whatsoever. I bought all of the recent Castlevania collections solely with the hope that by supporting the series, a new game would be made. Regretful purchases.

>Bye, bye, Microsoft! – edition
https://www.zdnet.com/article/china-drops-windows-for-linux/

The Chinese question is: how does a comfy non-imperialist nation transform itself into a global socialist model that can be reproduced and adopted by the rest of the world, without either reproducing the aggressive and counter-productive policies of the USSR or appearing toothless, while resolving the contradictions of the so-called first world FOR THEM and liberating them from capitalist domination, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

<A thread for the harmonious discussion related to the saviour of socialism, the uplifter of nations, the king of cooperation, the soviet of SOVL, the enjoyer of empathy, the ally of Africa, the demigod of development, the bureaucracy for banter, the prince of ping pong, the lobotomizer of labour aristocracy, the protector against proxy wars, the sponsor of sophisticated sciences and culture, the guarantor of gommunism, the Proletarian Dictatorship of Chynahโ„ข.

Communization Theory vs Anarchist-Communism

So, I'm about halfway through The Eclipse and Re-emergence of the Communist Movement by Gilles Dauve, and I have a question. I understand the content of what's being said, the changes being proposed, the reasons why, etc. But, how is this any different from anarcho-communism? Both seek to abolish wage labour, the state, money, commodity production, and exchange value. Both, essentially, propose an immediate transition to communism. The only difference I can see is that Dauve proposes that communization will begin but not be completed for a generation or so, but the abolition of commodity production, money, and the state is the starting point for both. Also, the idea of communism as an existing movement in our current society that just sooner or later manages to fully "break through" was also more or less written about by Kropotkin in The Conquest of Bread. Is it really just a difference in word choice, or one being "marxist in nature?" The content of the actual revolution being proposed seems virtually identical to me.

2026 French protests will die out

The ongoing student, and non-student protests (and also those of Belgium, Italy, and Albania to a weaker extent) are promising signs of revolution, BUT if this is only the start it is the end.

Occuptions, student strikes, riotting, and arson don't overthrow the state only dual power (ex establishing parallel political Institutions) will make these amount to anything beyond a histotical footnote. The only form of dual power that exists is theoractial, and I will give credit to the students attempting to create assembies and trade unions also attempting so, but unless THEY ACTUALLY DO IT the protests will be a fail.

And if these fail the state will just have more of a justifcation to further its surveillance state and prevent anymore uprisings, this is why the USA looks pathetic right now its not because people aren't mad its because the bourgesis state kidnaps anyone who attempts them and aids reformist liberals.

TLDR no organization dual power = these protests will die out and stregthen the bourgesis state in the long-term.

Communism VS Central Planning

I have seen this retardation spammed all over the place because of austrian economic loons however it always did feel so retarded.

I think this is the most condensed example of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3OH4QO5JY

Basically it becomes more and more retarded until you end up
>What about captain america?
>And captain america not fighting Thanos in my MCU?!
>communism and money can not exist!

That was always a incredibly retarded argument and I do not understand how the viewers of this trash are not dying of cringe.

Did people make debunking of this """"logic"""" because the video is pure insanity. The truth is that there is no such thing as central planning.
>Herp derp how do we produce things? How many of them?!
How does the factory do it now?

This is something this video never answers it only says
>People do whatever they want today this is capitalism
Absurdist and ridiculous.

However austrian loons will throw around literally religious phrases
<They are measuring the market signals
By the magic powers the oracle has presumably.
<The market decides!
Like there is some god entity the clergy talks to on this subject and this god is named the market.

And pretend like their insanity makes any sense whatsoever.
However instead of asking where this self contradictory god named the market lives or who exactly is talking to him (questions who will never be answered by Austrian cultists) the video ditches the religious nonsense of the Austrian cult and tries an atheistic version of this argument.

I mean this is a simple question if you are 18 or about to start to think(and never worked in any production job whatsoever; student/NEET) about how to organize things however the solution is very simple an this is true of everyone even magical capitalist will fail this.

If you throw people on some isolated island and tell them to figure things out everything will devolve into chaos this is regardless of anything involved. And no
>Letting people decide their own things
Will result in total disaster very fast. The scenario is not even coherent it does not even say if this is some isolated island or the walking dead universe or what.

Presumably there is internet and it has power since people are submitting things there and presumably there are farms and factories and transportation and it was not destroyed.

However after a communist revolution with all of this in place(not isolated island not the walking dead universe) the solution is simple, just do it like it was always done. The video makes only sense if you are trying to come up with some alternative to money, however lets keep money and do the same thing. I mean there is no controversial question of
>HoW MuTcH Is tHeRe To PrOdUcE?!
Because this is handled by orders who did come by the client firms and they did come long before today since most businesses can have year long contracts that are not even fully realized yet.
This is something you realize if you ever worked in your life and not are a NEET or Student or only produce youtube videos for a living!
>What if people order to mutch?!

1) You are dealing with bosses or firms who are serious and not insane. You can replace capitalist boss with Combine Manager if you like.
2) Normally they order the same things like 50K units every day with some fluctuation for seasonal events so +10% -20% fluctuation
3) If the client orders something out of the ordinary like lets say 100Bilion units you seriously ask them if they can fulfill this obligation or if this is a mistake. I presume a boss would reject a order like that and either phone back or simply give them their standard unit of 50K if they can not talk to them and are getting some deranged e-mails and no one saying anything.
4) If they can not pay their obligation they get sued.
5) A factory has a maximal output capacity so if you have 10 clients who all take 50K units (500K per day) your max output is about 600K of the factory or presumably 700K if you really try to do overtime and speed some things up. So a ridiculous order like 100Billion will get rejected since that means you need to break obligations with other clients.

Seriously this is something you can figure out if you ever worked in a factory or even in any business! I have no idea how people who have a job do not realize this cringe shit arguments for absolute bullshit. I seriously think the only people who repeat this are Students(legal NEETS), NEETS who did not work a day in their life and people who do some bullshit like make youtube videos for a living.

6) The final part of this is some fidgeting with the number if you have a order for 50K units you will make something like 51K or 52K units because sometimes the machine fucks up and shredded the product or some parts come out defective and need to be thrown out.

There is also some guess work like
>(ice cream) Last year this season(winter) we needed to make only 10K units a day so it will probably be the same.

7) Now one can ask where these numbers come from? They come from the previous years and previous records of orders and production. Something the capitalist boss keeps. In a communist revolution scenario these records can be taken or people who work there can remember things if the capitalist decides to burn or destroy these records.

8) Another idea is that the video insists on creating some kind of economic dictator who decides everything. Now if taken as a serious argument and not some exercise for students or people who start thinking about the economy that is silly. Because in the military you do not have 1 guy who decides everything. There is no magic dictator who orders every foot moved of every soldier at what time
<Epic debunking of the army everyone!
<How can 1 guy decide what position of every finger ever soldier must have?!
<Ha no one can do that!
<IMPOSSIBLE! GENERALS DEBUNKED!

A general gives orders to lower-ranking officers (Lieutenants) who give orders to people under them and a general does not micro manage every movement of every private there is a chain of command and the general will order a Battalions to move to a position at a given time and this is the responsibility of the people under him to do it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_hierarchy
https://www.army.mil/ranks/

So after a communist revolution things can get ruff because some capitalists can decide to destroy their records(far more easy on the computer then on paper) of these things however things will iron themselves out eventually.

I also do not want people to go to the traditional
>and some people are better at making pants! Capitalism YES!
And go to the the insulting with
<And then there is the capitalist boss who is the best at TAKING money so he takes the most! Capitalism YES!
Because this avoids the silly student question and concentrates on the capitalists as parasites.

Am I the only one worried that the right-wing is already taking advantage of the fact that the left has become a vacuum of intellect, and is now re-embracing intellectualism on its own terms?

Iโ€™ve seen multiple IG pages recently that talk about the literacy crisis in America; however, a good number of these pages/accounts are made by right-wingers/reactionaries. They use very blatant dogwhistles like โ€œclassical educationโ€, โ€œgreat booksโ€, โ€œvirtue of the Ancientsโ€, โ€œglory of Western Civilizationโ€, etc. etc. They talk about getting kids (read: theyโ€™re kids, the kids of right-wing elites) to study Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, etc., learn Latin and Ancient Greek at young ages, and pump their heads full of political philosophy. Yeah itโ€™s indoctrination but still.

My assumption here is that the right-wing in America is trying to regroup and reorganize now that MAGA is clearly crashing and burning beyond repair. A lot of the rhetoric they use makes me think this stuff is coming from either the Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, or both.

But I think the deeper issue here is that the left has no way of effectively countering this, assuming this is true. Especially in the past five years or so the American left has almost entirely dismissed intellect and intellectualism in favour of appeals to emotion and petty in-fighting over covid masking, whose identity makes them the most marginalized, and whether or not going to the gym is โ€œfascistโ€. Hell, someone just posted a screenshot from Reddit arguing that narcissists and psychopaths should be seen as โ€œoppressedโ€. Why? Whatโ€™s our antidote to the right when the right uses literacy and philosophy and such as a means of implementing fascism (or fascism-lite)? The American left seems to be taking the view that intellect is either 1. oppressive (because it inevitably creates a culture whereby smart people are upheld over stupid people) and/or 2. useless, because ethics are allegedly already embedded within human genetics and therefore all we need is intuition (Kropotkinโ€™s Mutual Aid book is often invoked here). Why?

So what should we be doing in response?

>โ€œThe age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,โ€ commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECRโ€™s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they wonโ€™t escape implementation once the paperworkโ€™s done.

The Worldwide Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (All the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, with all Women forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. The Worldwide flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary will ironically cause a noticeable Global decline in Transgenders (less Men will desire to become Women once the Aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity such as Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, are banned for Women) in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes will still be Free and Legal to anyone who wants one, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฒ!

Additionally, any Woman who keeps her Hair longer then a Pixie cut (a Very Short Bob cut โ€œmightโ€ be tolerated only if it is not a millimeter longer then the Chin, but I could change my mind on this very quickly, so it would be strongly advised that all Women keep their Hair no longer then a Pixie cut), wears a Dress/Skirt, or uses Makeup/Lipstick, will have her Head completely Shaved by the Female (mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards, who will march her through the streets wearing a Dunce Cap, force her to attend Struggle Sessions, and put her in a Re-Education Camp, where she will be taught how to become a Liberated Socialist Woman and embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฒ!

When a Woman gets her Hair Chopped/Shaved off She is symbolically breaking the Chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that Long Hair on Women symbolizes in the Patriarchal Superstructure of the modern Capitalist and historical Feudal Modes of Production (then it would have been called Aristocratic Femininity), thus meaning that Forcing Women to have extremely Short Hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), along with banning Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick and making everyone wear Mandatory Mao suits is the only way to Flatten the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and create Liberated Socialist Women, as Mao said โ€œThe times have changed, Men and Women are the sameโ€, and the only way to create a Superstructure of Gender equality that reinforces the Socialist Mode of Production is to purge the Superstructure of all vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that symbolize Patriarchal Female Subjugation and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary (ie. Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick), and before people say โ€œwhy not force Men to look like Womenโ€, the reason why the Liberated Socialist Woman must have the aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity (ie. extremely Short Hair, wearing Mao Suits instead of Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick, etc.) is because the Aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated โ€œSubjectโ€, while the Aesthetics of Bourgeois โ€œFemininityโ€ symbolize Weakness, Dependence, and being an Oppressed โ€œObjectโ€, so a Liberated Socialist Women must have Aesthetics that symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated โ€œSubjectโ€, in a Socialist Superstructure of total Gender Equality resulting from the Flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary and the destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฒ!

There is no "AI" ya nincompoops. It's just dead labor feasting on living labor.

Marx called capital "dead labor" that feasts on "living labor" because capital is the result of past human labor that has been accumulated in the form of money, machinery, factories, and other means of production, no matter how "advanced" and "futuristic" those means of production get. Although these things were created by workers, they become instruments of capitalist power when privately owned and used to generate profit. In capitalism, workers must sell their labor power to survive, producing goods and services whose value exceeds the wages they receive. The capitalist takes this surplus value and reinvests it to accumulate even more capital. Thus, โ€œdead laborโ€ feeds on โ€œliving laborโ€ because the wealth created by workers in the past becomes a force that controls and exploits workers in the present, continually expanding through their labor. For Marx, this expresses the central contradiction of capitalism: human labor creates wealth, yet that wealth confronts workers as an independent power that dominates them. Now take that basic Marxian principle and apply it to "AI."

There is no magic "AI." There is an emerging body of technologies built by human beings, trained on human-generated data, powered by enormous human-built computing infrastructure, and sustained by significant human-made investments of energy, water, hardware, labor, and capital (dead labor!). Calling these technologies โ€œartificial intelligenceโ€ can obscure more than it explains. The term encourages us to imagine an independent, almost supernatural intelligence that exists apart from human knowledge and effort, when what we actually have are complex systems that identify patterns, generate predictions, and produce outputs based on statistical relationships learned from data. That data comes, directly or indirectly, from people: their writing, research, art, expertise, experience, and accumulated cultural knowledge. These systems do not emerge from a vacuum. They are built upon the intellectual labor of human civilization, and their capabilities are inseparable from the quality, diversity, and limitations of the material on which they were trained.

The quality of these systems depends on much more than the quantity of data they consume. It depends on whose knowledge is represented, whose experience is excluded, how accurately the material reflects reality, and how effectively the system has been trained to distinguish reliable information from error. A system trained on a broad mixture of knowledgeable experts, careful researchers, skilled practitioners, and diverse perspectives may be useful in many contexts. A system trained on incomplete, biased, outdated, or poorly vetted information may reproduce those weaknesses with remarkable confidence. Even high-quality training data does not guarantee high-quality answers in every situation. These technologies can make mistakes, fabricate details, miss context, and produce plausible explanations that are fundamentally wrong. They can be powerful tools, but their outputs still require judgment, verification, and often the very expertise that people are being told they no longer need.

The most dangerous misconception is the idea that this technology is a black box into which anyone can type a request and receive an infinite supply of high-quality work at virtually zero cost. The interface may look effortless, but the infrastructure behind it is not free, the resources required to operate it are not infinite, and the quality of its output is neither unlimited nor guaranteed. The apparent simplicity of asking a question conceals layers of human engineering, training, maintenance, evaluation, and physical infrastructure. More importantly, generating an answer is not the same as knowing whether the answer is correct, useful, ethical, or appropriate. A person who understands a field of expertise can use these tools to accelerate their work, identify possibilities, and explore unfamiliar territory. A person who lacks that understanding may have difficulty recognizing when the same tools have confidently led them astray. Expertise does not become irrelevant when technology advances; in many cases, it becomes more important because someone still has to evaluate what the technology produces.

This is why the growing narrative that young people should stop pursuing education, abandon difficult skills, or give up on developing expertise because "AI is going to take their jobs" is so socially destructive. It teaches people to surrender their agency at precisely the moment when they need to become more capable, adaptable, and intellectually independent. Education is not merely vocational training for a specific job that may or may not exist in twenty years. It teaches people how to reason, investigate, solve problems, communicate, recognize flawed arguments, understand complex systems, and make responsible decisions. Learning mathematics, engineering, medicine, history, writing, art, or a skilled trade develops capacities that cannot be reduced to the production of a finished document or the completion of an isolated task. If society persuades an entire generation that learning is pointless because a machine will do everything for them, it risks creating a population increasingly dependent on systems it does not understand and increasingly unable to challenge their mistakes.

There are also serious economic and social consequences to normalizing this message. If workers come to believe that their skills are destined to become worthless, they may be less inclined to invest in education, negotiate for better working conditions, or organize to ensure that technological gains are shared fairly. Employers may use the threat of automation to suppress wages, reduce staffing, intensify workloads, or justify replacing experienced workers before they have demonstrated that the technology can reliably perform the work. Educational institutions may feel pressured to prioritize immediate technological trends over the deeper development of human capabilities. And individuals who are already anxious about their economic future may experience greater insecurity, alienation, and hopelessness. These outcomes are not inevitable consequences of the technology itself; they are consequences of how societies choose to deploy it and how people are taught to understand their own future in relation to it.

We should be having a more serious conversation. The question is not whether these technologies can be useful; clearly, they can. The question is how to use them without confusing automation with understanding, statistical prediction with wisdom, or convenience with genuine competence. We should teach people how these systems work, where their limitations lie, how to verify their outputs, and how to combine their capabilities with human knowledge and judgment. We should encourage students to learn difficult things, not because technology will never change their professions, but because people who understand the underlying principles of their work are better positioned to adapt when it does. We should demand transparency about the resources these systems consume, the labor and data on which they depend, the economic interests driving their development, and the real-world consequences of their implementation.

Ultimately, the greatest risk may not be that machines become capable of doing more of the work that people once did. It may be that people are convinced they no longer need to understand the world, develop their abilities, or take responsibility for what happens within it. Human knowledge is not an obsolete input to be consumed by a machine and discarded. It is the foundation on which these technologies are built, the standard by which their outputs must be judged, and the resource society must continue to cultivate if it wants to use them wisely. We do not need to worship "AI," nor do we need to dismiss it. We need to demystify it. These are human-made technologies with real capabilities, real costs, and real limitations. Our future will depend less on whether we can make them produce more and more output, and more on whether we remain capable of understanding, evaluating, and directing what they produce.

LEFTIST TRANSHUMANISM

What's your opinion on a leftist leaning tranhumanism? Do you think use technology to enhance mankind is bad and dangerous or is a path way to a new kind of good existence? Of course left leaning transhumanism isn't a monolithic group, but bunch of ideas about the opportunity and perils of using technology on mankind.

Neocon Iraq War criminals

Why is it that the surviving members of the George W. Bush administration who acted as the architects of the Iraq War have never faced any legal penalties for what they did?

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????

The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

More than 400 arrested as police clash with protesters across France
Police fired teargas in confrontations with protesters, as demonstrations across France were boosted by other groups angry over high prices and the fraying of a social welfare system. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country, and tensions erupted on the fringes of the nationwide demonstrations over absent teachers, decrepit school buildings and police violence. Late on Saturday, the interior minister, Laurent Nuรฑez, said there had been 400 arrests and most were adults who were not part of the high school protests.

Tunisians stage biggest protest in years against President Saied
The demonstration, led by the major UGTT labour union and civil society groups, comes as Tunisia grapples with an economic crisis, worsening public services, recurring water and power cuts, and shortages of medicines and essential goods. Saied seized broad powers in 2021 and 2022, dissolving parliament, dismissing dozens of judges and ruling by decree, moves that opponents described as a coup. Rights groups say he has intensified a crackdown on civil society, journalists and opposition figures. Saied rejects those allegations, saying he is not a dictator, and has accused his opponents of engineering economic crises to fuel social unrest.

Is AI and are deepfakes an Israel psyop?

I noticed that it's nowadays legal to steal someone else's face, likeness and voice. I have been a target of severe reputation ruin, because I have been anti-Israeli (yes, I'm based in Poland as well). There have been attempts at creating a "lolcow" out of me, also because of my anti-capitalistic views.
How is it possible bad actors are capitalizing out of cruel things like "lolcow culture" and AI, deepfakes being weaponized against us, who speak out against the system?
And don't get me started with "AI is future"! You see naive folks? It's clearly used in warfare against innocent women, children etc.

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that itโ€™s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

Psychology of Communism

I noticed something interdasting.

>cannot finish it

>go on /leftypol/ to distract myself
>read absolute bordigaslop
>begin to hate leftychuds
>lose interest in communism

>selfishness out of self-preservation rises
>screw these leftychuds
After some hard work and time:
<get on top of business
<feels good man
<shekels coming in
<hope-pilling intensifies
<property rises
<wanting to share rises
<increase interest in communism
<petit bougie sentiment inside me stabilized
<selfishness decreased
<discipline stronk
<confidence in planning restored

Why does this happen? Not only why does my psychology change due to material conditions, but why does it change the way it does? I see so many who want communism when under stress and then lose interest to it when they go up the economic ladder, but to me it's the opposite.
I don't want communism when under stress and want more gibs for myself.
But when I reduce stress after successfully working, I want communism.
Am I retarded or something?
I think this aspect of human nature is missed often in leftist discourse especially psychological changes among plebs when communism arrives and potential implications for USA.

middle-class retirees re-entering the workforce

they're like the worst employees you could ever imagine, worse than any apathetic stoned teenager because at least the teenager doesn't have delusions of seniority or experience or a complete inability to accept criticism or admit to making a mistake, at least they can be trained. but the boomers and karens are unreformable, they complain and exude indignation and misery out of every orifice and destroy employee morale, they do things the wrong way and they get belligerent and defensive when you try to show them how to do them the right way, they get irritated with busy shifts and lines and impatient customers and they show their irritation very publicly, they gossip about co-workers and discuss politics and religion and create drama, they speak condescendingly to co-workers and customers and even managers, it's unbelievable. it's like a paroled convict who was in prison for decades and has no idea how to re-enter normal society. and when you are forced to finally reprimand them, they have a fucking emotional breakdown.

i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.

i felt guilty about it, which makes me even more annoyed when i really think about it because i shouldn't feel guilty just for expecting a perfectly healthy able-bodied adult to listen and follow basic directions and not behave like an entitled spoiled brat at work. i understand that your hero donald trump betrayed you and destroyed the economy and your security and i understand how humiliating it must feel to be a suburban middle-class retiree for years and then suddenly be reduced to the lowly task of wiping down tables and ringing up customers, but you know what? too bad.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM

This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ!

I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), ๐Ÿค”? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ!

First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalinโ€™s โ€œMarxism and the National Questionโ€ https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Leninโ€™s โ€œThe Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determinationโ€ https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ!

The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great โ€œOpiate of the Massesโ€ that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ!

Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new โ€œPeopleโ€™s citiesโ€ were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/โ€œSingle-Family Homesโ€ bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ!

Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, โœŠ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿš€โ˜ข๏ธ!

I enjoyed reading Mein Kampf to laugh at Hitler's chuddery:

>My knowledge of the trade-union organization at that time was zero. I could have proved neither its usefulness nor its uselessness. As I was told I must join, I refused. I gave as my grounds that I did not understand the situation, but would not be forced to do anything whatever. Perhaps the former was the reason why they did not throw me out at once. They may have hoped they could convert me or wear me down within a few days. In any case they were deeply mistaken. But within a fortnight I had reached the end of my ability, even if I had wanted to go on. In that fortnight I came to know my surroundings better, so that no power in the world could have forced me to join an organization whose members I had seen in such an unfavorable light. The first few days I was annoyed. At noon some of the men went to near-by public-houses, while others stayed on the lot, and there consumed a (usually quite pitiful) lunch. These were the married men, whose wives brought them their midday soup in miserable dishes. Toward the end of the week their number kept growing; why, I understood later. Then they would talk politics. I would drink my bottle of milk and eat my piece of bread somewhere aside, and would cautiously study my new surroundings or ponder my wretched lot. But still I heard more than enough; and it often seemed to me that people sidled up to me deliberately, perhaps with the intention of forcing me to make my attitude clear. In any case, what I heard in this fashion was calculated to irritate me to the extreme. They were against everything: the nation, as an invention of the โ€œcapitalisticโ€ (how often had I to hear that word!) classes; the Fatherland, as a tool of the bourgeoisie to exploit the workers; the authority of law, as a means to oppress the proletariat; the schools, as an institution to (rain up a body of slaves, and of slave-owners as well; religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation; morals, as a symbol of stupid, sheep-like patience; and so on. There was simply nothing which they did not drag in the muck of a fearful baseness. At first I tried to maintain silence. But finally I could do so no longer. I began to express my attitude, and began to contradict. Then I realized that this was quite useless until I knew something definite about the points under dispute, so I began to go to the sources from which they drew their supposed wisdom. Book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet had its turn. On the building lot there were now often heated arguments. I went on struggling, growing day by day better informed than my adversaries were, until one day the means was used which most easily vanquishes reason: terrorism, violence. Some of the spokesmen of the opposition forced me either to leave the job at once or to fly off the scaffolding on my head. As I was alone, and resistance seemed hopeless, I preferred to follow the former advice, richer by one experience. I left, filled with disgust, but at the same time so agitated that it would have been quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole affair. No; after the flaming up of the first indignation, my stiff neck once more got the upper hand. I was absolutely determined to find another construction job just the same. My decision was strengthened by the privation which closed me in its heartless embrace a few weeks later, after I had eaten up what little wages I had saved. Now I had to, whether or no. And the game began all over again, only to end as it had before. I struggled with myself: were these human beings, worthy of belonging to a great people ? It was a painful question. If the answer were yes, the struggle for a national body was really not worth the effort and sacrifice which the best individuals must make; but if the answer were no, our people was poor indeed in human beings.

TL;DR Hitler is impoverished in Vienna, gets a job, refuses to join the union because "i don't know nuffin bout dat shit and u cant make me do nuffin", workers try to educate him, he gets annoyed with them for not being nationalist enough and being anti capitalist, starts to debatebro ben shapiro style, they threaten to beat his nerd ass, he leaves pissed off and decides they're all subhumans. This is hilarious to me because all the neo nazi revisionists try to make hitler out to be more anti capitalist than the "judeobolshevik" marxists.

culture jamming & border shenanigans

there's this highly pervasive propaganda narrative that everyone seems to believe and regurgitate constantly, where national borders are protected by invisible impenetrable high-tech defenses and it is impossible to walk across a national border into another country without getting caught and you will step into a 2000 mile invisible minefield of perpetual-battery motion detectors and laser beams and tripwires or get spotted by swarms of millions of military aircraft with thermal imaging that remain airborne 24 hours a day and all kinds of other nonsense. so i had this idea for a conceptual performance artpiece where i shoot a gopro video where i'm standing in the remote wilderness in mexico right next to the completely unguarded border, and i scoop up some soil into a cup and i pull out my phone to show my gps location as i walk across the border into the united states and then dump the cup of mexican soil out onto the us soil, then walk back again. then i would just go somewhere in mexico that has public wifi and create a youtube account and upload the video and give it some funny title like "hey guys check this out" and also send a 7zip encrypted copy to my email to back it up in case it gets deleted. i also thought about planting a tiny little mexican flag in the ground on the us side, there's probably all kinds of funny things one could do with this.

Brazil's incoming right-wing Congress takes aim at judge who jailed Bolsonaro
Driving the effort are allies of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro who dominated legislative elections this โ€Œmonth and plan to take aim at Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice responsible for the ex-president's arrest and conviction on coup-plotting charges. That would represent a major escalation by the legislative branch in a years-long power struggle with an empowered Brazilian judiciary, reasserting the influence of Congress and potentially pushing the court to the right for years to come.

Video footage circulated online showed Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine being knocked to the ground and repeatedly beaten by settlers with sticks. The reporter was hospitalised after the incident, along with another Palestinian, medics said. Speaking from her hospital bed with a bandaged hand and her voice shaking, Levine told reporters: "I was attacked, pushed to the ground. Luckily I had my flak jacket and helmet, otherwise I probably wouldn't even be here, because they just kept kicking me and kicking me, probably fifty times.

South Korea reviews expanding military mission in Middle East, report says
South Korea is reviewing an expansion of its military operations in the Middle East, the Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper reported on Thursday, as the US ally faces pressure from President Donald Trump to provide support for the war in Iran. Seoul is weighing expanding the operational area of its Cheonghae anti-piracy unit, which was dispatched to the Gulf of Aden in 2009, to include the Gulf of Oman, which links to the Strait of Hormuz, the newspaper said, without naming sources.

US Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research Michael Vance again led the Tokyo talks, which involved more than a dozen US officials, one of the people said.

The internet is inherently hierarchical and tends toward giving already established and popular entities undue voice.

In the real, physical world, people encounter things that they are physically close to and can sense through their sight, hearing, etc. This is the concept behind protesting out on the street.

On the internet, there is no built in discovery mechanism like there is in the physical reality. People never just type in domain names to se what's there, especially these days. You could own "starmer.sucks" and maybe get like two visitora a year.

Discovery on the internet is based on network effect and platforms. You are at the mercy of other people linking to your site or whatever platform you're posting on choosing to recommend you.

In contrast, the material world has discovery built in. You pass a street protest, you hear their chants, you see their faces. You see some graffiti. You didn't search for it. The people who did tjat didn't have to pay Google for the privilege of being seen.

This is why real life is so important. Touch grass my Marxbros

The persecution against me in /BRG/ is so hypocritical is not even funny

I find it particularly amusing too that I am constantly banned for absolutely NO REASONS whatsoever, I suffer persecutions in the brazilian general from two homophobic jannies, while the garbage moderation team allows filth like this here, to those who don't know this post a reference to a 2010 hate crime where two hetero males beaten to almost death a couple of gay teenagers holding hands in Augusta, a famous avenue in the city of Sรฃo Paulo, basically this reactionary piece of shit is making fun of the case claiming the ""gay cure""" is beating LGBT folk

Not only that but he constantly has made horrible racist, mysoginistic and classist comments that the jannies tolerate while banning me for MERELY mentioning hetero males are overwhelmingly reactionary and overwhelmingly majority within criminals in general (both are harmless statistics mentioned by me to reinforce my arguments)

here is the case he is celebrating btw, toggle the translator if necessary:

Why are rightoids so obsessed with muh objective morality?

It was a major talking point of the 2000s culture wars between the Religious Right vs. liberals, namely the belief that the right-wing upheld the notion that there is an objective truth and an objective morality that stems from it, while liberals (and genuine leftists for that matter) were portrayed as staunch believers in moral relativism which they acquired through "worshipping" science and history in lieu of religion.

So how does this belief in objective moral truth fit in with the greater right-wing agenda? How does the exploiter class benefit from proles believing in objective morality?

There psychological reasons why some people can be convinced into fascism by propagandists

This is an attempted explanation for how why MAGA people, AfD, and fascists in general end up the way they do, using my past experiences as an example.

For example, as much as it sucks, I would probably count as one of them. This is very wrong, and a bad thing. I don't understand a lot of things.

I am sometimes angry and feel alienated from the way Canadian society is run. I feel emotional and like loud things. I like the idea of struggle and force and drama. Also I am sort of atomized from community.

I do not have a strong intuitive sense of morality, and I had to build it through reason and experience. I have/had an emotional tendency to distinguish myself from others and feel superior. I generally think that society is declining, and that the past was a golden age in some ways.

I was radicalized multiple times over in my life, and had volatile political views for awhile. Now I am a liberal again.

Fascism is evil and it has killed millions of people. It's not and will never be a valid political ideology that works. I hate fascists, and I hope their movement will be defeated in Europe and the US.

Wtf is historical materialism and what did Marx mean by it ?

I've been trying to read more of Marx lately and I've found it difficult to pinpoint exactly what his "materialist conception of history" means. I understand the base/superstructure logic but I don't really understand his broader logic of history.

From what I've gathered in the German Ideology, Marx believes that humans have needs, that they perform labour to satisfy those needs, and that because they are social animals, they enter certain arrangements in order to organize their labor. My reading of historical change was originally simply thatthis arrangement can become irrational for certain classes, and that they as such enter conflict over the control of production. For example, the feudal system was upheld by the nobility, but this arrangement wasn't rational for the rising bourgeoisie, and they as such created a period of conflict over the maintenance of feudal traditions.

However, in the preface of "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy", Marx establishes that historical changes occur when :
>"At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production or โ€“ this merely expresses the same thing in legal terms โ€“ with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto. From forms of development of the productive forces these relations turn into their fetters. Then begins an era of social revolution"

This imo contradicts my reading. It's not classes which fight over control of production, because they don't want to change the system/recognize themselves in the system, it's that new technological developments are "hindered" by existing relations of production.
Any thoughts ?

<If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?

>The government wants us all to start preparing for severe disruption to our lives. It wants us to stockpile canned food and drinking water, strengthen our civic resilience, and plan for the possibility of war.

>Work has begun on the government's so-called "war book", which hasn't been updated in decades.

>The UK's most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the "most dangerous" period of his 35-year career in the armed forces.

>But what is the threat? In 1940 the danger of a German invasion of the UK was very real. But the chances of Russian tanks rolling up Whitehall are surely negligible.

>"It's not the tanks you need to worry about," says historian Margaret MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us.

>"It's the cutting of cables on the ocean floor. It's the hacking into systems on which so many things depend. The possibility for asymmetric war, for cyber war, is growing by leaps and bounds."

>But are we ready? After 80 years without war on our own soil, are we, as a society, psychologically prepared for it? Are we ready to approve large increases in defence spending, and for the sacrifices that that might entail in other areas of our national life? Or does the threat seem too far-fetched to be real?

LEGO for Raspberry Pi

The backstory.
I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.

To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.

This is my life!

Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.

He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot

So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there

My idea is to take some dummy thing maybe a Halloween pumpkin and place the camera inside of it (replace one eye with a camera?) or inside the PC.

I want also to listen what the fuck is doing and talking about when I am not at home. I suspect he was thrown out of work and this can have consequences for my living situation.

I suspect there are conversations with his wife when I am not at home. And I do not want him to fuck me over. I was also thinking about hiding a mini microphone in the living room so I have full coverage

This is spy VS spy levels of fuckery at this point. I suspect he did hide a camera in the new light bulb that is in my room. I did hear him drill in the other room I am checking if he did not drill over a camera to my room.

So I have this idea to use legos in my projects.

For example I have some ideas for a raspberry pi zero that involve a microphone or camera.

I looked how much I will need to pay for them on https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=2x4

And it is very cheep(I suppose there is a minimum order or a shipping fee this is not a problem). I want to order them because I am not going to look at rainbow vomit all the time if I go and get them from good will (I buy black only).

So I want to make a raspberry pi based microphone to listen to people or a camera to listen and watch.

My main problem was that if I want to place this in some enclosure I will need to spend $$$$ to keep them in place and after it is finished there is no way to change things inside and I need to spend more money.

So why not use legos?

I am not a lego fagot so I have no taboo about using knives and glue on legos.
The basic idea is this. Lets say I want to hide a microphone inside my PC. I did think to use one of the old HDD enclosures I have however getting the microphone and PI in place can be a pain, And most methods result in it either moving around(very bad) or expensive bolted forever in place.

So here is the idea buy some lego plates
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
and use some plastic to plastic or plastic to metal(more on this later) glue to glue this in place forever.

This is the base that should stick in place forever in the dummy HDD enclosure or whatever.
On top of this I can use normal legos to build whatever structure I want. for example I can use my PC microphone and cut away the useless parts and then glue this to a small lego to be able to place it in different places. The PI goes into its plastic enclosure however I perma glue a lego plat to that plastic. This way I can swap or change it whenever I need or replace it with a different PI in the future etc.

Same for the microphone I can try different arrangements or parts. lego fagots will lose their mind that I am permanently damaging legos however 1 base plat and 1 lego to make whatever plastic I like mountable is literally nothing for my wallet.

I did see that lego also sells these plates that do a 90 turn
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&page=5&selectedElement=6491823
and this can be interesting to get the camera in the right position I can simply build a lego tower to the right position and them install this plate to attach the camera (who already has a lego perm glued to it so it an be mounted) What I need is for this thing to be stable and not to collapse or start making noises. I am not going for special snowflake legos I use generic 4 types so I can assemble and disassemble and try different configurations.

I was wondering if Technic peaces are any good? Is there anything good for using them and these lego cylinders to mount a camera to a lego wall? Or is that a bad idea?

I was thinking I go
Normal 1x4 (or whatever) for walls
Normal 2x4 for building upwards towers. I did hear they are the most structurally sound.

Plate 1x2
Plate 1x6

Plate 2x4
Plate 2x6

I was thinking to glue to the electronics either a normal 2x2 or a 1x2 plate What is better?

And these 90 turn plates maybe a 1x2?

Also what is better idea to buy a fully made big plate
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
Or to make it myself for the base by using overlapping layers or 2x6 plates or something?

I do not want the base plate to rip from the base of the enclosure when I try to remove a lego tower and force me to glue that in once more.

Is a zig-zag of plates glued together a better option OR do I only glue 1 layer to the bottom and the zig-zag layer is a sacrificial layer since if it detaches itself it is not that bad as the connection to the bottom being destroyed?

Any suggestions?

I was thinking about using lego attachments on the metal of the PC case.

Should I glue plates or normal ones for the electronics? What is better for stability?

Also do they sell dummy PCIe cards? I can use that to build on top of it(it getting hot can be a problem) Worse case scenario I get these old TV signal to PCI cards and build on top of that.

Anyone has any experience with this?

What's your take on the coming elections in the demon colony?
I hope that Netanyahu and the extreme right win, it will tarnish Israel's reputation even further + they are very incompetent. If the "moderate" liberal Zionists win it's fucking over. They will present themselves as more sane but will continue dispossessing Palestinians under a nice guy mask.

Basically I see Netanyahu as the Shabtai Tzvi of Zionism.

FYI the censorship on this website does not exist to censor the right, it exists to censor the left. Mods here are acting as gatekeepers of leftist politics and banning anyone who does not go along with pre-approved, western political establishment, capitalist MSM narratives. The posts on this board are basically CNN, with a footnote which pleads "believe us! we're leftists! we're not libruls!" but clearly this footnote is a falsehood.

This board exists to be a filter which ensures no further left-wing political ideology makes it's way into western politics.

This is why nearly every post gets banned here. This is why it's always the most interesting or intelligent posts which inevitably get banned. This is why websites like this one are notorious for censorship, because they're not run by leftists, but rather people who want to filter and ultimately censor leftist politics, to ensure they never face them in western politics.

In theory, supposed the entire world became a communist, does that status of the world entail the "end of history" for mankind or there could be a new socio economical system after communism too? In other words: is communist society the end of history or we keep evolving forever?

Iraqi Kurds suggest peace process between Iran and Iranian Kurdish opposition
It is not the first time that Iran has negotiated with the Iranian Kurds. On 13 July 1989, during negotiations between Iran and Iranian Kurds, Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) leader Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou was assassinated in Vienna, while another former leader, Sadegh Sharafkandi in Berlin was assassinated on 17 September 1992. Also in 2011, the PKK-affiliated Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement after Iran agreed to stop executing Kurdish political prisoners if PJAK ceased its attacks. PJAK did not respond to a request by MEE for comment.

Brazil's Senate approves new working week without loss of pay
The measure passed the Senate in two rounds of voting with the same result: 75 to one out of 81 members. The sole vote against it came from former vice-president Hamilton Mourao, who served under president Jair Bolsonaro. Flavio Bolsonaro, who opposed the initiative until early this week, voted for it remotely as he campaigned in southern Brazil. The amendment gives businesses 14 months to adopt the shorter working week, which was a key sticking point in the negotiations. Many business leaders and lawmakers wanted the changes to be made gradually over 10 years.

Venezuelan Workers Protest for Fair Wages, End-of-Year Bonuses
โ€œIt looks like the plan is to invite foreign capital by offering cheap labor,โ€ FETRASALUD union leader Pablo Zambrano told press. โ€œThe Venezuelan workers must struggle to be fairly compensated for their work.โ€ Protesters echoed a longstanding demand that existing bonuses be converted into wages. The monthly minimum wage was last increased by the Venezuelan government in March 2022 and currently stands at 130 bolรญvars, around US $0.15. Instead, the Nicolรกs Maduro and Rodrรญguez administrations have relied on non-wage bonuses which have no impact on vacation pay, social security contributions, or severance. The income floor for public sector workers was raised to $240/month in May.

Cyberpunk

Are there any modern games that actually get the cyberpunk aesthetic right?

Cyberpunk 2077 looks pretty great during the night cycle, but during the day it becomes clear and sunny and looks more like gritty Futurama than cyberpunk.
