"Durante um parto incrivelmente fantástico e cheio de mistérios, correria e pânico por parte de enfermeiras e médicos, uma senhora deu a luz num hospital de São Bernardo do Campo a uma estranha criatura, com aparência sobrenatural, que tem todas as características do diabo, em carne e osso. O bebezinho, que já nasceu falando e ameaçou sua mãe de morte, tem o corpo totalmente cheio de pelos, dois chifres pontiagudos e um rabo de aproximadamente cinco centímetros, além do olhar feroz, que causa medo e arrepios."

I am a schizo from Plovdiv and I am a sapphic.
Hope you understand that.
I always wanted a real-life girlfriend who shares the same interests (politics, Eurovision, video games and Ongezellig) and is intelligent, kind and a hard worker. But it is extremely rare to find them now that everyone is either straight or just plain dumb as rocks and dead obnoxious. When I see a straight couple, I fucking want to cry. Why not me? Women nowadays are drawn more to attractive yet unintelligent and primitive neanderthals with over billions in net worth. There is also the problem of the Privileged being able to earn better education than the Proletariat therefore we are living in a neverending cycle of being tricked into believing that we can be anything we want to be yet there's a fucking invisible barrier between us and our dreams, just how Ouspensky had warned us - a cycle of suffering because we are too weak to do anything.
Sorry for going on a rant but here's one of my favourite pics

I used to make these alot when I was a full time busker. I'm way out of practice but I'm still happy with it.
A friend has an art space and invited me to come make some paintings for fun. I think this one might sell!
I made a painting, do you like it?

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):
>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.
>First and foremost, it should be emphasised that the nature of a movement determines the extent to which it can be exploited or redirected. In an independent workers’ movement, this possibility is considerably low; however, in an “all-together” movement, the scope for reactionary forces to intervene is much greater. Within this framework, a serious question arises: can the statement issued by students at Isfahan University, in which it was asserted that “the 1979 revolution was a historical mistake,” be regarded merely as the result of external manipulation and interference?
>For leftists who, through demagoguery, consider students to be “working-class students,” it is as if students necessarily advance the demands of the working class in every protest. In reality, however, students are not inherently revolutionary; at times, they can play a counter-revolutionary role, and at other times, depending on objective conditions and their connection to the class struggle, they can assume a revolutionary role. To clarify this issue, two specific examples can be cited.
>The student protests of July 1999 arose in response to the closure of the reformist[8] newspaper Salam. These protests served the interests of the reformist faction of the Islamic bourgeoisie, and students became instruments in intra-governmental struggles. Nevertheless, the movement exacted a heavy toll, leaving many dead and injured, and profoundly altered the fate of some of the students.
>In contrast, in autumn 2018, following the widespread workers’ protests, students openly expressed solidarity with the workers’ struggles and placed class demands at the centre of their slogans. By chanting slogans such as “We are the children of workers; we stand with them,” they effectively became integrated into a segment of the workers’ class movement and played a role distinct from that of previous periods.
>When the working class emerges as an independent social class in the course of societal developments, the scope for manoeuvre of not only the right- and left-wing tendencies of capital but also ultra-reactionary bourgeois forces and adventurist elements is sharply reduced. This is because the independent presence of the proletariat exposes the real contradictions of capitalism and prevents protests from being redefined and co-opted within bourgeois, pro-democracy, or imperialist frameworks.
>A clear example of this situation can be seen in the workers’ protests of autumn 2018, a period during which media outlets such as the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Israel, and other bourgeois propaganda instruments were effectively sidelined and lost the ability to influence the protests. Under such conditions, bourgeois tendencies—particularly the hypocritical and liberal tendencies of the Western bourgeoisie—were compelled to be silenced, as the language, perspective, and demands of these protests could not serve their class interests.
>The shameful Islamic bourgeoisie has plunged into one of the deepest crises in its disgraceful history, and consolidating itself is not so easy. To demonstrate its power and to pretend it has a social base, the Islamic bourgeoisie issued a call for marches in all cities on 11 January. This call was an overt attempt to stir public sentiment and to draw people into a government-organised demonstration.
>On 11 January 2026, the state broadcaster aired a report from the Kahrizak forensic centre showing scenes of corpses in a large warehouse. The Islamic bourgeoisie claimed that these bodies belonged to individuals who had been harmed by “rioters” during the protests, but the main purpose was to stir public sentiment and garner support for the government. The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.
>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)
>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.
>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.
>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!
>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!
>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.
>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!
>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.
>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

>Society determines men's consciousness
>This creates class antagonisms and conflicting interests amongst them
>Over time, contradictions between them are overcomed by changing the structure of society, which produced these classes
>Communism is the movement which abolishes class, thus ending structural contradictions within society
However, I don't see where alienation comes in all of this. To me, the antagonisms between class and the desire to overcome contradictions was mainly in regards to each class' own interest. The bourgeoisie benefitted from capitalism, and so aimed at keeping it, whilst the proletariat endured it and in turn had different motivations. My understanding of alienation is essentially that it is the impossibility for men to fulfill their social and creative potential. This twists the dialectic from class conflict to merely satisfaction of one own's potential. It seems like capitalism or class structure isn't inherently at fault in this way, but more so how it is performed.
So, from my understanding, it looks like alienation can either be replaced in Marx's "mature" dialectic by treating it merely as one of the many motivations for the proletariat to overcome capitalism. Or, on the other side, that it treats the economic crisis and misery produced by capitalism as only alienating factors which are added ontop of the pre-existing alienations.
I think that fundamentally this might go at odds with how I percieve's Marx's works. Imo, Marx is mainly a social critique who performs a sociological and economical assessment of society to posit the sources for its conflicts, and its potential future. This concept of alienation seems very much hegelian and much more philosophical, and incurs some form of moralist and idealist critique in Marx's otherwise "scientific" work. Thoughts ?

I don't understand the place for alienation in Marx's work.
From my understanding, Marx's philosophical theory was essentially the dialectical method except applied to history and society. To me, it seemed like it could be broadly summarized as :>Society determines men's consciousness
>This creates class antagonisms and conflicting interests amongst them
>Over time, contradictions between them are overcomed by changing the structure of society, which produced these classes
>Communism is the movement which abolishes class, thus ending structural contradictions within society

Then this guy, De Mohrenschildt, he goes on to write George HW Bush a letter in the 1970s, over a decade later, saying, basically, "hey old buddy old pal, my house is bugged, please get these people to leave me alone, I think I fucked up and talked too much about Oswald" and fucking commits """suicide""" by shotgun less than 1 year later… George HW Bush confirms on an official CIA document that he knows this guy and the handwritten letter is literally preserved as a scan.
Meanwhile, outside of De Mohrenschildt's apartment when De Mohrenschildt commits """suicide""" is none other than FUCKING BILL O REILLY of future fox news fame. Bill O Reilly claims for years that was knocking on De Mohrenschildt's door for an interview when he heard the man kill himself inside…. HMMM….
then years later JEFFREY EPSTEIN goes out of his way to write an op-ed article "debunking" Bill O Reilly, this being before Epstein was persona-non-grata and about to commit """suicide""" as well….
George De Mohrenschildt
Explain to me why I shouldn't be schizo about George De Mohrenschildt. This guy was an anti-communist Russian white army emigre who had property seized by the soviets. He fled to the United States. He became a big player in the community of Russian emigres. He became friends with George HW Bush back when he was a lowly CIA agent and son of Prescott Bush, a senator/banker who took part in the failed Business Plot against FDR. This guy meets Lee Harvey Oswald, who is allegedly a communist, and takes him and his newly arrived Russian wife under his wing. Gets him a job at book depository. Now this Lee Harvey Oswald is a weirdo. He immigrated to the USSR, for only a few months, then moved back to the USA. But in the time he was in the USSR he found a wife. Not just any wife but the niece of one Ilya Prusakov, who was a colonel in the Byelorussian SSR's Ministry of Internal Affairs. She lived with her uncle and was close to him when she met Oswald and decided to marry him and move to the USA. So this supposedly loner type weirdo who goes on to "shoot" JFK manages to bag himself a soviet wife who is related to a prominent official in just a few months… OK…. sure…. then this guy who spent the entire 1950s in the military telling anyone with two ears that he was the biggest commie alive, at the height of McCarthyism, with zero consequences, comes back to the US, and immediately makes a prominent anti-communist friend who himself has friends in the CIA… wow, ok, sure…. then on top of that, Oswald gets a job from this guy, at the very place where he will later be framed for shooting JFK.Then this guy, De Mohrenschildt, he goes on to write George HW Bush a letter in the 1970s, over a decade later, saying, basically, "hey old buddy old pal, my house is bugged, please get these people to leave me alone, I think I fucked up and talked too much about Oswald" and fucking commits """suicide""" by shotgun less than 1 year later… George HW Bush confirms on an official CIA document that he knows this guy and the handwritten letter is literally preserved as a scan.

any and all materialists must acknowledge that we exist in the neoliberal epoch, one unlike any other capitalist epoch. the biggest difference is that it has been intentionally manufactured to destroy class politics in everyway and it succeeded. via attacks on home ownership, community belonging, social atomisation, post fordism & gig economy, well fare it destroyed the ability for the left and even right to coherently organise and left them to embrace pseudo simulcra politics of liberalism (woke) vs conservatvism (nothing lol). in the third world where traditional manufacturing is still persued, an all ecompassing and brutal surveillance state made successful revolutionary politics impossible.

but neoliberalism has entered its death agony stage. its contradictions (need to global elite agreement, invisible imports hard carrying western economies, ect) have caught up and the ideological, moralistic and pragmatic defences for the liberal international order and neoliberalism have already gone Dodo, all we wait for is the first piston in the globalist economy to collapse and this will cause a critical meltdown across the globe and with it the end of everything, the cathedral, human rights, capitalist realism, the spectacle and more. its impossible to tell when this will occur. i predicted it would be the coming right populist surge and then the mass dissillusionment which would follow, but the epstein files might cause it even sooner.

Let us explore a potent but seemingly unexplored (or at least underground) counter-strategy. A safe, simple, long-term strategy of stochastic opportunistic biowarfare.
This is not biowarfare in the conventional sense of directly poisoning enemies, so if you want to culture your own mold and plant it in a chud's HVAC then this isn't for you.
Instead, we intent so seize an opportunity to accelerate the self-poisoning of (overwhelmingly) reactionaries. I want you to envision a land of raw meat and dairy, tallow and ghee, supplement cocktails and Ivermectin doping. Oh, that's the world the reactionary grifters are already implementing… if these obviously dangerous diets and medication are so normal among the anti-communists, perhaps we can kick this up a notch. It's easy to poison someone with seemingly-innocuous things: beef liver, brazil nuts, water intoxication. It's very easy to demonize treatments like vaccines and healthier alternatives to traditional habits. It's simple to trick reactionaries into rejecting things seen as progressive, like soy, veganism and seed oils, and jumping up to mirror it with ridiculous excessive meat over-consumption. Simply tell them that warnings and regulations are liberal disinformation and a significant amount of these idiots will want to believe it.
The best part is, you can make money from slowly poisoning reactionaries. Millions of well-funded capitalists are investing millions and billions into selling unhealthy products, they want as many sold as possible. Look at how the dairy industry in the USA has managed to normalize cow's milk as an essential nutritional component. Look at how propagandist streamers and podcasters are throwing supplement pill ads at their audience. These capitalist companies don't care about long-term effects, they're fatally bound to the short-term lines and how far they go up. And for those in the USA, bourgeois deregulation will make more and more of these tactics completely legal.
We can help dismantle the right and make them pay for it. What's not to love?

During the campaign Mr Seguro slammed Mr Ventura’s anti-Establishment and racist anti-immigration tirades. Mr Ventura’s campaign included billboards saying “This isn’t Bangladesh” and “immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to live on welfare.”

Just a day after his top adviser and factional mastermind Morgan McSweeney was forced to resign, Sir Keir lost communications chief Tim Allan, a New Labour-era retread, who tersely announced his departure.

Israeli cabinet approves decision paving way for annexation, greater control of WB, as settlers burn Qurans
The measures have been pushed by extremist and far-right ministers Israel Katz and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich. According to local Palestinian media, the decisions are the most dangerous since 1967, and undermine the Oslo and al-Khalil agreements, which state that Israel has no authority over civilian matters in the West Bank. The new rules will make it easier for Israeli settlers to buy land in occupied areas and give Israeli officials powers to enforce laws on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Iran arrests leading reformists close to the country’s president
Azar Mansouri, the secretary general of the Islamic Iran People party, had expressed deep sorrow at protesters’ deaths, and said nothing could justify such a catastrophe. She had not in public called for the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, to resign. In what looked like a decisive roundup of the key reformist figures outside government, Ebrahim Asgharzadeh, the head of the front’s political committee, and Mohsen Aminzadeh, a deputy foreign minister under the former president Mohammad Khatami, were also arrested.

US held secret meeting between Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania over Western Sahara
The meeting, which was supposed to remain confidential, was revealed by Spanish newspaper El Confidencial's journalist Ignacio Cembrero on Saturday. According to Cembrero, the framework for the discussions was Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara, which was adopted by the UN Security Council last year. The plan has been rejected by the Polisario Front, who asks for a referendum on self-determination as planned by a 35-year-old UN resolution. It would cement Morocco's control over the African region, which it has occupied since 1975, while nominally offering a degree of self-governance for the Sahrawis.

Ethiopia demands Eritrea ‘immediately withdraw’ troops from its territory
Ethiopia’s foreign minister has accused neighbouring Eritrea of military aggression and of supporting armed groups inside Ethiopian territory, amid growing tensions between the neighbours. The two longstanding foes had waged war against each other between 1998 and 2000, but signed a peace deal in 2018 and became allies during Ethiopia’s two-year war against regional authorities in the northern Tigray region.

Security forces also allegedly forced businesses to stay open and not to participate in the strike in some areas.

Cepeda has framed the issue as more than a political controversy, calling for authorities to determine whether the contacts reflected in the files carry legal consequences and whether any actions involved improper use of official resources or non-institutional arrangements.

Conspiracy theories are so interesting. I love hearing about them, especially if it's weird stuff.
However I dislike how the term conspiracy theory is used to discredit people sometimes. Something that used to be called a conspiracy theory is that companies and government organizations collect as much data as possible about everyone.
I also believe that powerful groups have a lot of control over things like the other anons mentioned.
>Music played on the radio and as it's sold is played at 'dead' frequencies, and the melodies are simple and uninspiring. Buildings are becoming uglier, making for less spiritually enriching surroundings, and creating less pride in the nation. Our food and water has become more unnatural, and our devices are made to hook us and detach us from reality, from spiritual saturation. The media is deliberately uninspiring and creates a sense of doom and dishonesty, and division, and humans are being encouraged into engaging in hedonism to avoid forming long term relationships, and distracting from the spirit with the flesh. Which leaves you empty.

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?
Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?
Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?
Political Conversions
Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson.

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

Marx and Engels were against Moralism yet they were class traitors. What is the material explanation for this? Clearly empathy for the proletariat and their suffering is an insufficient explanation, because that's just moralism, and they weren't moralists.

Men neither bought nor sold; there were no poor and no rich; there was no need to labour, because all that men required was obtained by the power of will; the chief virtue was the abandonment of all worldly desires. The Krita Yuga was without disease; there was no lessening with the years; there was no hatred, or vanity, or evil thought whatsoever; no sorrow, no fear. All mankind could attain to supreme blessedness.
— Vana Parva
That's like communism. That's what comes after the Kali Yuga that we live in.
The upcoming Krita Yuga
The Mahabharata, a Hindu epic, describes Krita Yuga as such:[18]Men neither bought nor sold; there were no poor and no rich; there was no need to labour, because all that men required was obtained by the power of will; the chief virtue was the abandonment of all worldly desires. The Krita Yuga was without disease; there was no lessening with the years; there was no hatred, or vanity, or evil thought whatsoever; no sorrow, no fear.

Is there an inherent spiritual element to Marxist values? If you look at history you will notice that despite religious restrictions, the most diehard supporters of Marxism were religious at some point or even stayed religious afterwards.
Likewise, many spiritual traditionalist philosophers in today recognize that Marxism has "esoteric" and "spiritual" themes. And that is true even more for the Bolshevik revolution and Bolshevism.

do you guys think it's a good idea to go up to an ungodly valid and proud leftlib trans and give it injections/self-made transdermals or do you believe she will fuck up and tell someone?

also do you have experience with or advice on helping people with physical disabilities or blind people with stuff like this?
I would do their injections for them if they'd be fine with that but I'd be very concerned with the timing, so that wouldn't work.

In spite of the seething of many supposedly 'leftist comrades', America's unipolar dominance is weakening every day and we move ever closer into a multipolar world. It is clear to any good faith communist that a multipolar world just means that: transitioning from American unipolarity to multipolarity, and that does not automatically mean the expansion and consolidation of socialism. The latter gains more opportunities in this new state of affairs, but nothing is given on a silver platter - communists still have to seize the day. If we make the mistake of thinking multipolarity is socialism, we might as well end up with a multiple poles of fascism and reaction. This is understood by communists, real ones, not agents of NATO clad in 'red aesthetics'. The latter strawman the 'multipolarity=communism' nonsense precisely to then dismantle it and thus ridicule and 'defeat' multipolaristas, doing the work of the NATO Moloch.

I hate Warhammer
I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

Materialist analysis of celebrities engaging in activism?
Recently, we’ve seen notable celebrities like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo speak out against Trump and ICE. Their social media profiles are full of anti-ICE sentiment. Billie has also spoken out against billionaires despite being rich herself. So what’s going on here? Is there any chance that celebrities like Billie and Olivia can hold radical leftist political views? A lot of celebrities and musicians were involved in the 60s New Left, by comparison. Are we seeing a rebirth of this?

She liked the elevator scene a lot, that was the standout part for her. I think the character she was the most invested in was Asuka (maybe because I am a bit like Asuka). Lastly she liked End of Evangelion but didn't love it that much, she thought it was just repeating what the show said and didn't think it was the most artistic film ever or anything. She liked the mech battle the most.
I think my mum likes fight scenes more than wierd abstract character moments and she doesn't really understand the intricate parts of animation. This is all very interesting to me tbh as someone super into anime since it shows what a normal person thinks of it.
Watched Evangelion with my mum
I just finished watching Evangelion with my mum and dad (well my dad sat in the room with us but refused to even look at the telly and instead scrolled football forums instead on his laptop). I basically told about every production quirk and lore detail all the time it was really fun. She liked it but didn't think it was that deep, and she said it repeated itself too much towards the end and she liked the beginning more (a very interesting opinion imo). She hated the last two TV episodes and also didn't seem to care about Kaworu that much.She liked the elevator scene a lot, that was the standout part for her.

the masses needs to know that there is no civil debate to be had with the right, nor is there even any particularly sophisticated leap in theory and critique one needs to make; the far-right is simply ontologically evil and we should be agitating on them all being controlled by human traffickers as hard as possible.
Epstein & The Alt-Right as a Psyop
the most recent Epstein file drop potentially implicating the creation of /pol/ with moot meeting with Epstein feels like it needs to have its own thread. it's pretty much an accepted fact at this point that Epstein played a key role in what seems to be a massive secret human trafficking ring that exists as a form of Mutually Assured Destruction to for the elites to maintain power, but what is currently a lesser-known and recent revelation is that circumstantial evidence indicating that the entire formation of the far-right was an astroturfing psyop by pedophile billionaires and the intelligence community.in particular, this thread >>>/lgbt/3094 links even more damning evidence that the astroturfing of far-right politics has been intentionally perpetrated as a psyop to ensure that the Molochian demons in power have access to as many children to rape as possible. pedocon theory is not a meme at this point or even merely an own on the hypocrisy of the far-right; it arguably is a significant factor behind the existence of the far-right today.

Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’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.

The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on. The campus protests from 2024 were also aimless and did nothing except get a bunch of students and professional activists arrested. Makes sense that NYU banned criticism of Zionism right afterwards.
Let this be known for the next time the world is thrown into a state of crisis.

There's been lots of speculation around if AI hype will actually materialize into real job displacement but this study from nov 2025 pretty definitetively shows we are in the beginning stages of it. https://digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/app/uploads/2025/11/CanariesintheCoalMine_Nov25.pdf
>Early-career workers
(ages 22-25) in AI-exposed occupations experienced 16% relative employment declines, controlling for firm-level shocks, while employment for experienced workers remained stable
so basically the only group still experiencing headcount growth are mid-career professionals 35+.
22-25 are declining, and 26-34 are stagnating and likely to start declining as well.
And keep in mind publicly available AI only just came out in 2022, and yet this level of displacement has already started, You don't need some futuristic level AGI or something like that, its already happening. This also can't be explained by tarriffs or general business uncertainty as well, because the GDP growth is up 4% and the study controls for firm level shocks. If you're in a white collar profession, especially if entry level, hold onto your job for dear life and hoard savings.

The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries. The notion that modes of production always (rather than merely sometimes) transform through deliberate revolution is ahistorical projection of the bourgeois revolutions forward in history. What history shows is that modes of production do exist and do change, but whether they change through revolution, reform, or in a totally unplanned way over a long period of time, is up to local material conditions.
The uncertain nature of transitions between modes of production
Transitions between modes of production are of an uncertain nature. They are not always brought about by revolution, reform, or planning, but sometimes by a combination of all 3, or by blind historical forces operating over several centuries.The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries.

Take this hypothetical scenario wherein
>All anti-communist propaganda is completely erased in the West
>A very balanced history is being taught in all Western schools on 20th century history
>Teaching Marx becomes acceptable and even somewhat popular in universities, especially for econ and history students
>All Westoid secret agencies stop infiltrating, oppressing, manipulating lefty parties
>Etc. - the point is that the political environment becomes completely fair
In such a scenario a communist movement would still not materilize in the West, reformist unionism would become more popular likely, but that's pretty much it if you think that it is still in the material interest of the labor aristocracy to conserve the current world order.
I'm very tempted to think that people who think otherwise are either completely idealist ("being able to tell the truth would alter cass interests") or conspiratorial ("we don't have communism because the CIA".)
I consider my position to be common sense, but feel free to attempt to change my mind.

In 1997, long after the story was written, an extremely loud ultra-low-frequency sound was recorded at 50°S 100°W. Scientists described the unknown-source sound (called "Bloop") as organic and resembling a marine beast, but far too powerful for any known animal. You can hear it on the Wikipedia page.
Why would the random ocean spot Lovecraft chose also be where strange vibrations and sounds were later detected? He couldn't have known; "The Call of Cthulhu" was written in the early 1920s, well before NOAA, advanced sonar, or submarines existed. Lovecraft said most of his ideas came from vivid nightly dreams. This story stemmed from one where he was in a museum and saw people secretly worshipping a gigantic monstrous aquatic creature in the basement.
What if it's… all true?
Hp lovecraft and the Ocean
In H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu," he specifically places the sleeping Cthulhu and the ancient civilization of R'lyeh at 47°9′S 126°43′W.

Specifically I was looking for something which while maintaining distributed capital markets also gets rid of rewards for nonproductive actors. I didn't exactly find this, but I did find Roerner's Equal Shares proposal this follows:
>Every adult citizen would receive from the state treasury an equal endowment of coupons, that can be used only to purchase shares of mutual funds. Only coupons can be used to purchase shares of mutual funds, not money. Only mutual funds can purchase shares of public firms, using coupons. Prices of corporate shares and mutual funds are, hence, denominated in coupons; they will oscillate depending on the supply and demand for shares. Citizens are free to sell their mutual-fund shares for coupons, and to reinvest the coupons in other mutual funds. Finally, firms may exchange coupons with the state treasury for investment funds, and may purchase coupons from the treasury with money. This is the only point at which coupons exchange for money. These investment funds play the role of equity in the firm. (p. 20)
>A share of a firm entitles the owning mutual fund to a share of the firm's profits, and a share of a mutual fund entitles the owning citizen to a share of the mutual fund's revenues. When a citizen dies, his mutual fund shares must be sold and the coupon revenues are returned to the state treasury. The treasury in turn issues coupon endowments to citizens reaching the age of majority. (p. 20)
Anyway this proposal seemed to get reasonably close to what I was "looking for". I'm still not sure however if it's productive to advertise this sort of thing to others. Is it a useful strategy to build these sort of concrete programs. Further about this plan in particular is it really what anyone is after? Is there an effective even more reform minded solution that still removes rewards for unproductive actors - or at least as this one does makes such rewards equal?

They never bothered to explain how any of that works, just completely ignored this new concept the movie brought and revolves around.
In short what they presented was:
You die, you are in a giant waiting lobby, you get to choose your own eternity which is a world in which you spend eternal existence in but you only get to choose once, if you choose one and then try to get out or switch they will try to catch you and if they catch you they send you to an eternal void, eternities are scarce and some eternities are "sold out" or "defunct" because they became full or are "outdated" (i.e. they mentioned racist eternities and a "marxist world eternity" was also shown to be "sold out"), the MC's wife somehow manages to switch eternities without being caught and we're left to assume she lives forever in the new eternity, some people don't choose so they have to stay in the lobby and do jobs. NOTHING ELSE IS ELABORATED. They didn't give a fuck to even play with this concept a bit, they made it all about a cuckhold husband, a wife and her former husband. They had this insane concept and turned it into the cheesiest lamest romance story.
"Eternity"
Terrible film making fun of marxism, the initial concept was interesting, but they spent all of the film's time to revolve around 5-6 annoying main characters rather than environment. They had a "marxist world" eternity sold out (eternities are somehow scarce?) and all these other obnoxious ones that were being advertised, but it never really explained itself, instead it just focuses on one meaningless relationship to characters I could not care less about. The MC was asking the right questions in the beggining but then just gave up and made it all about his wife. WHY?The ending was just a random "happily ever after" ending, I would've preferred if the wife got sent to the void for being so indecisive.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.
This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

I live in the United States and we were always taught that he did but it was somehow a good thing. I understand that Gorbachev wasn't the one who collapsed it and that it was Yeltsin who did, Gorbachev's reforms just caused it to happen because it caused so much nationalist sentiment to brew up, but I still think he is somewhat responsible. It was reckless and stupid to abandon Marxism-Leninism for Social Democracy and it was also reckless to let the eastern bloc have elections knowing that the CIA would mess with them which they did. I understand that stagnation was a problem but he should of listened to Deng's advice rather than allow so much nationalist sentiment to brew up and illegally dismantle your country, I understand that the USSR kind of sucked domestically but foreign-policy wise it was the most moral superpower to ever exist, and the bar is very low.

This morning though, i was faced with at least a dozen malicious nodes clogging the network, so i did what any self-respecting operator would do: I inserted a longrun into my s6 service pipeline, to automatically scan the logs for compression bomb incidents and heal itself by appending the offending node to a blacklist file, that is included within torrc. I'm posting this while my daemon is still under attack, so i would definitely deem this a success.
My script currently runs as root, which is not ideal, but completely appropriate for the privileges involved in restarting services and editing system-wide config files. I others may benefit from my method, thus the run file of the service is reproduced below:
On a self-healing TOR service
If you've been running the tor daemon for the last year or so, you've likely experienced several outages and maybe even spotted reports of a compression bomb left in the logs. In fact i've seen other people report having to disable their daemon for a week for a week or so. Previously, for me it was easy enough to grep the logs for the offending node sending compression bombs and blacklisting it.This morning though, i was faced with at least a dozen malicious nodes clogging the network, so i did what any self-respecting operator would do: I inserted a longrun into my s6 service pipeline, to automatically scan the logs for compression bomb incidents and heal itself by appending the offending node to a blacklist file, that is included within torrc.

How traceable are drone attacks?
Hello, I am mister CIA Glowmongerer, how traceable (easy to find) are drone kaboom attacks? Are they 100% anonymous kabooms if you handle the drone with gloves to not leave fingerprints? If you buy a generic drone w camera remote antenna thing and somehow manage to put kabooms with remote trigger on it, how could they possible figure out it was you if you're not in America and CIA aren't satellite tracking your microwave brainwaves?Like if you live in turd world shithole where police are not CIA level skillz and get drone and kabooms from flea market?

Why should we live? There's no revolution, everything is bullshit, everything is a refuge during a spiral of desire and regret. What's the point? What should I do? Why? Everything will disappear after I'm gone, anyway.
