Why do the idealists of capital sincerely think INDIVIDUALISM is the FREE MARKET?

The neoliberal hymn to the individual has always been a lie dressed in idealism. Under capitalism, the individual is not liberated but crushed, flattened into a commodity, her desires subordinated to the logic of accumulation, her capacity for self-expression hollowed out by the relentless demand to sell herself piece by piece. What passes for individualism in free‑market ideology is merely the abstract isolation of the wage laborer, a collective system of slavery that masquerades as freedom. True individualism, the kind Marx glimpsed in the possibility of a society where human flourishing is the measure of production, is not opposed to communism, it is its final realization. The individual shines not when she is set against the collective, but when the collective is empowered to free her from the commodified life that capitalism mistakes for existence.

>>Wage slavery is not individualism, it is the systematic destruction of the individual reduced to an economic unit of labor, stripped of autonomy, creativity, and the capacity for self‑determination. The neoliberal ideologue mistakes the atomized, precarious worker for a liberated subject, when in fact that worker is merely a node in capital’s collective apparatus. True individuality emerges only when the collective is organized not to exploit but to emancipate when labor is no longer a commodity, when the means of production are in common hands, when the individual’s unique capacities are cultivated rather than consumed. Communism does not erase the individual it makes individual flourishing on a societal level possible for the first time.

Mamdani Fatigue

Fuck this guy. I’m tired of seeing liberals and even “principled” leftists like Jacobin Mag prop him up as the greatest thing to happen to American leftism, like he’s sone kind of modern-Day William Z Foster.

In reality, Mamdani is a total fraud. He’s pandered to Zionists even before taking office. Then after taking office he’s sucked up to Chabad-Lubavitcher which is a satanic racist Jewish supremacist org with ties to the Russian mafia and Zionist entity. Why? He’s even thrown his own wife under the bus for working with Palestinian liberation activist Susan Abdulhawa. I guess he thinks kosher feelings outweigh Palestinian lives. He hasn’t done anything he’s promised in making NYC a cheaper and easier place to live. And yet delusional leftists still love and support him.

If Mamdani was truly principled he’d make it illegal to be a Zio in NYC. Semd police to monitor all synagogues for promoting Zionism. Track donations to the IOF from Jewish orgs. Fully divest NYC from the Zionist entity and all companies that do business with the Zionist entity. Get ICE to deport anyone with Zionist entity citizenship ( I hear there are a lot of them in Brooklyn and Queens). Ban AIPAC and all other pro-Zionist groups. Shut down businesses like Eichler’s which routinely sell Zionist products.

Mamdani ran on the basis of defying the Zionist Lobby so he needs to keep his promises.

Epstein Fatigue

Am I the only one on here with Epstein fatigue?

I hate this shit. I hate how the Epstein debacle has even made leftists throw out solid understandings of class and imperialism. WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT if the ruling class are baby-eating Satan-worshipping Illuminati? THEY'RE STILL EXPLOITING PROLES AND SHOULD BE OPPOSED ON THIS REASON ALONE.

But what really fucking grinds my gears is seeing how tenaciously Democrats and liberals are desperate to turn Epstein into Russiagate 2.0. They sincerely believe they can use the Epstein shit to remove Trump from office and put him in jail for the rest of his life. First of all, as a cis woman who is also a sexual assault survivor, I can tell you that sexual assault is one of the hardest crimes to prove in a court of law. Even if Trump wasn't rich and didn't have the money to get away with his (alleged) crimes, there's still no possible way he'd ever get convicted of a statutory rape that occurred decades ago; there's simply way too much reasonable doubt. But also in this is seeing how garden-variety liberals are really, REALLLLLY pushing the "Epstein was Mossad" allegation, and that he was pimping out underage girls to get blackmail material on world leaders so they would be puppets of Israel. In the case of Trump, they're saying Trump is entirely a puppet of these "Zionist Jewish supremacists" like Epstein, and nearly everything Trump is doing policy-wise is purely in service to Israel. Liberals are even going to far as to call the current Iran War the "Epstein-AIPAC War", not just because Trump launched the war to distract from the Epstein files, but because Netanyahu has all the Epstein blackmail material on Trump and is using this to coerce him into going to war for Israel. This of course completely ignores how American Empire works and things like the US wanting to take control of Iran's oil and all that. But in this, it's very obvious to me that two things are going on here: 1. just like how the Democrats were pushing Russiagate during Trump's first term to "prove" that Trump was a "puppet of Russia" they're now using the Epstein files to "prove" Trump is a puppet of Israel/Zionists, and 2. the Democrats are now going to embrace anti-Zionism in the context of the alleged Epstein-Israel blackmail as a way of portraying themselves as the "peace party" like they did in the 2000s. There's zero doubt in my mind that most of this is motivated by the midterm elections and the Democrats' needing their party to win both the House and Senate in order to stay relevant.

But in all seriousness: Epstein serves the Democrats way more than it serves the radical left. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the "Epstein Class" as if the presence of the ultra-wealthy is somehow a bug and not a feature of capitalism. I'm sick of hearing that the problem with the ruling class is that they're immoral, and not that they exist in the first place. I just want liberals to shut the hell up and focus on issues that can actually be solved. Fuck this bullshit.

DEA names Colombian president ‘priority target’ as US prosecutors probe ties to drug traffickers
The “priority target” label is reserved for suspects DEA deems to have a “significant impact” on the drug trade. It’s unclear when the DEA gave Petro that designation. Petro denied all ties to drug traffickers and maintained he never accepted their funds during his campaign. Writing on X Friday, he argued that U.S. legal proceedings would ultimately dismantle accusations from the Colombian far right, a group he claims is actually the one involved with traffickers.

“We are the people’s justices because we have fulfilled our duty and we are here under the mandate of Article 39 of the Constitution… We have a clear mandate: to cleanse the judiciary,” said Aguilar Ortiz, an Indigenous citizen of Mixtec origin who will serve as the Supreme Court’s president for the next two years. At the Zocalo, the country’s largest public square, chants of “Long live the people!, Long live Aguilar Ortiz!” erupted from a crowd of hundreds, marking the beginning of an unprecedented chapter in Mexican justice.

Trials into crimes against humanity press on amid political tensions
The report highlights that frustrating pace. With 706 ongoing investigations involving 3,875 individuals, 1,565 suspects are facing proceedings while at liberty, and 515 are in detention, most under house arrest. Another 33 are fugitives, and 1,762 have died, with 1,252 passing before receiving a judgment. As the years pass, there is a growing risk that some accused will die before they can face justice.

US military readies plan for ground troops in Iran: Report
The plans include options for the president in scenarios where Iranians are captured and detained, as well as how to handle paramilitary forces. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS that it's normal procedure for the Pentagon to ensure President Donald Trump has several options at his disposal, and that it "does not mean the president has made a decision" to deploy soldiers anywhere.

Why does it seem like most of the heavy handed police repression and operations in USA that use lethality have been against anarchists? like im talking mass raids in operations, mass arrest sweeps, targeted killings, why did they stop doing that with the more marxist groups like they did in the 80s back and suddenly just seem hyper focused on anarchist. like the cointrlpero of the usa government against them now seems way more harsh than on other lefty groups. anarchists back then basically got to fuck around in communes and get surveilled but not actively destroyed. now fast forward and it's like the opposite. after 9/11 you start seeing way more entrapment cases against anarchists than actual marxist groups, the green scare after was straight up hunting anarchists with cases facing decades, murders by cops, multi-jurisdiction tactical raids on the same day across multiple states, RICOS, and now trump signs a bill naming "anarchist jurisdictions" specifically as the highest lvls of "terror" but the dems been doing the same shit just quieter with biden's and obamas doj still prosecuting 2020 protestors n anarchist being killed by police under biden. meanwhile ml groups mostly just host panels at universities and don't get their doors kicked in at all, they dont have cops visibly come to show force to intimidate them at meetings even but they do all this for anarchist. like why did the state stop caring about leninists who actually wanna seize state power and start obsessing over black blocs who just wanna smash windows. what changed

The DHS / ICE

Are the current military wing of the bourgeois settler reactionary. Thus they are the biggest direct threat to the revolution and working class and must be treated as such. Any leftist individual or organization that attempts to denounce this fact, no matter how loudly or subtly, should be treated as an enemy of the working-class, and swiftly rejected, denounced or removed. They are agents. The growth of working class power must always be backed by an apparent willingness to defend that power or it's pursuit from any and all reactionary attacks.

Help me choose a girl name for myself. I have some ideas for a few names already but i don’t know if any of them are good or not.

>claire
it sounds very elegant and dainty, which I like. But I’m worried it might be too much of a stereotypical transgirl name like Alice.

>Vivian
I think it sounds unique and cool while also sounding a bit elegant aswell. But maybe it’s too weird. I also don’t want people to think I named myself after Vivian Medrano (creator of hazbin hotel)

>Jessica
More common and sounds nice, but not as classy as the others

>Stormy
I think it sounds very cute but I’m worried it sounds too much like a pet name

>Pamilla
It’s basically the girl version of my cis name, so would probably be the easiest name for the people in my life to get used to calling me. Also shares a name with pamilla voorhese which is cool. But the name sounds too much like a grandma name for my tastes.

Any feedback on my name ideas or suggestions of your own would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to accidentally name myself something stupid

Good news: Following Kenya, Chad has now mobilized hundreds of police officers to support haitains

Following the Kenyan deployment mission, the state of Chad has made its own contributions to Haiti by training and mobilizing 800 of its own police force to support the country as its in a state of repair. This comes after substantial neglect by the Dominican, Jamaican (to an extent anyways), the UN (they actually made the situation worse) and Central American countries to support the island.

Small-Business Owners

What do we do about the little Hitlerite problem?

The merits of the petite-bourgeoisie in national liberation struggles are debatable but in the imperial core small-business owners are nothing but the spear-tip of reaction.

So how do we as workers actually struggle against the small-business owners? It seems like there's no direct way of struggling against these assholes. I would like high taxes and tight labor regulations but that's a wish, not actual struggle. Boycotts are also pretty useless for the working class.

anonymity is over. even if you are a tor user, stylometry is the new deal.

https://www.computerbase.de/news/wirtschaft/ende-der-pseudonyme-im-netz-mit-llms-lassen-sich-im-grossen-ausmass-online-konten-deanonymisieren.96375/

The ComputerBase article (based on the study "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs") describes the end of "practical anonymity." For users of imageboards like 4chan, leftypol, or similar platforms, this has far-reaching consequences:

The End of "Security by Obscurity"

Previously, anonymity on imageboards relied on the fact that manually correlating thousands of posts was too labor-intensive for an attacker. LLMs now automate this process at near-zero cost.
* Significance: An algorithm can scan hundreds of a user's posts in seconds to build a profile based on interests, jargon, location clues, and activity patterns.

Stylometry as a Digital Fingerprint

Every individual has a specific writing style (sentence structure, word choice, punctuation). LLMs are excellent at recognizing these patterns.
* Significance: Even if you don't mention your name, an LLM can compare your "writing signature" on an imageboard with posts you've written under your real name (e.g., on LinkedIn, professional forums, or letters to the editor). The "Anonymous" mask falls through the sheer structure of your language.

Cross-Platform Identity Linking

The study demonstrates that LLMs can link pseudonyms across different platforms.
* Significance: Those who "shitpost" on an imageboard while maintaining a professional presence elsewhere (e.g., GitHub, X/Twitter) risk these identities being merged. A single minor detail in a post (e.g., a specific local event or a niche technical detail) serves as an anchor point for an LLM to identify the real person behind the post via web search.

Low-Cost Mass Doxing

In the past, doxing (exposing private data) was a targeted attack against individuals.
* Significance: According to the study, identifying a profile now costs only between $1 and $4. Governments, corporations, or malicious actors can now "de-anonymize" entire boards en masse to create databases of citizens' political views or private behavior.

Retroactive De-anonymization

The internet does not forget, and LLMs can analyze archives that are years old.
* Significance: What you posted anonymously five years ago can be linked to you today because AI analysis capabilities have only just reached this level. Your current writing style may be enough to expose your past activity.
Bottom line: The assumption that you are safe on imageboards simply because you don't have an account is technically obsolete. To achieve true anonymity now, a user would have to artificially distort their writing style or have their posts rewritten by a different AI to mask their "linguistic fingerprint."

Communist or Commie Adjacent Shows

Hello Sisters and Brothers, I'm looking for some recommendations for TV shows to watch that have a communist tilt to them, or are straight up communist.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch

I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

R: 19 / I: 1

Is communism unironically good?

Think about it.

No mindless consumption, no capitalist abundance putting most people on a loop of consuming things they don't need, no taking things for granted that our ancestors had to work harder for, such as food and clean water.

What we consider to be poverty is actually the normal state of humanity for most of our ancestors, and with capitalism we're straying from it and living in a way the human mind is not prepared for and doesn't actually make us happier. Food doesn't make you happy if you know for a fact you'll eat multiple times every day for the foreseeable future.

The economy can either be centralized or decentralized. As in, either bureaucrats manage the entire economy, or each person manages what they own. That's why there's only two options (although most countries have something in between).

With capitalism, capital accumulation by some people is unavoidable too. It can of course be argued that all of that capital they own in the form of factories and businesses is, in practice, all dedicated to serving the public, but to strictly respond to your question, yes they have to accumulate the wealth.

The accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few corporations is mostly not even a result of capitalism, but the opposite: Government favors, handouts, monopolies, making things hard for small businesses, etc. But of course, accumulation of wealth can also happen in a free market, so for the sake of the argument, let's ignore this nuance.

With communism it is also unavoidable, because there's no way for bureaucrats to not take 100% of the nation's income, because if they manage everything and make all the choices, then de facto they own everything. For example, if you own a business but everything you do is regulated and dictated, you basically own it in name only. So if there's communism then the bureaucrats have to basically own everything.

Some people try to argue against this with some sort of "genius" redistribution they come up with, but by definition any of their ideas are just somewhere in between.

This is why either way a class of people have to accumulate wealth and the goycattle have to take it. Except for taxes. What is absolutely not a part of free market policy and not necessary is for poor people to pay more taxes, obviously.

/Paranormal Evidence/

Post your most compelling evidence of anything in the realm of the paranormal.

Fossilized Giants are everywhere and there really is a conspiracy in place to hide this fact (see stellium7 Mountgo videos where google earth censored the eye socket of a giant elephant he was studying). My guess would be that they don't want the general population to know that the world was created because they want the serfs to be uneducated atheists or agnostics. I guess they forgot that all secrets come to light and everything which is buried will be unearthed. Ever wonder why it's called the "FACE" of the earth?

>mesas are tree stumps.
>proves the Giants.

The number of biological synchronicities are too great to be coincidental. There are historical accounts to back up the fact that giants are real and now science has confirmed that soft bodied creatures can turn to stone via nucleophilic invasion in a silica rich environment. This video series might help you understand

F-35 Hate Thread - All My Homies Hate the F-35

Thread for hating on the F-35 "Lightning II" stealth turkey a.k.a the most expensive military project in history to date.

The USAF declared it ready for service in 2016
As of that date the following problems I can list just off the top of my head
- Vulnerable to lightning; it's practically a lightning rod https://archive.is/QSIii
- 0 redundancies in the cyber or mechanical aggregates; any malfunction
- RADAR glitches means it literally ahs to be turned off and on again https://archive.ph/EEd9y
- Ejection seat is banned for anyone 136 pounds or below and anyone not above 150 pounds has significant injury risk, it literally can break your neck.
- F-35 helmets glow too brightly for air-to-air refueling https://archive.is/pKE0Y
- F-35 helmets are so heavy at nearly 5 kilograms so that maneuvers cause them to bang their heads on the inside of the cockpit https://archive.ph/WsRxA https://archive.ph/dE1gP
(keep in mind these helmets are 400,000 dollars each).
- The oxygen system is unreliable (something that the F-22 shares) https://archive.ph/kGGKq

The Plane was supposed to be ready by 2010-12 having been projected in the early 2000s
the list of problems in its past and that are remaining in various levels of urgency number over 800.
Such as but not limited to
- Current aircraft software is inadequate for even basic pilot training.
- Ejection seat may fail, causing pilot fatality. Lacking safety measures for automatic pilot release.
- Several pilot-vehicle interface issues, including lack of feedback on touchscreen controls.
- The radar performs poorly, or not at all.
- Engine replacement takes an average of 52 hours, instead of the two hours specified.
- Maintenance tools do not work.
- It has inferior maneuverability and aerodynamics to the planes it is meant to succeed the F-16 and the F-18

The Chemical Straightjacket: Mickey’s "New Life"

——————————

This Reddit post is a horror story disguised as a miracle. What the owner celebrates as "healing" is actually the final, clinical conquest of a living soul.
The Death of the Sovereign Creature
Mickey used to be a chaos-factor. He was a creature that reacted to the world with raw, unbridled terror—a body that refused to be managed. He peed where he wanted, he ran from the thud of a human body, he rejected the artificial hygiene of the litter box. From a Foucauldian view, these weren't "problems"; they were acts of resistance. Mickey was an untamed, non-conforming subject.
Now? He’s been drugged into "docility." The owner is thrilled that he’s "eating slower" and "cuddling." This isn't love; it’s the subjugation of the body. The Prozac has effectively lobotomized his survival instincts to make him more convenient for a house move. His "personality change" is just the chemical erasure of his actual self to make room for a "perfect" domestic object.
The Architecture of Control
The vet—the technician of behavior—has finally adjusted the dials on Mickey’s brain. The owner's guilt ("Has he been living in fear?") is the ultimate cynicism. It’s the way the system justifies its violence: “We aren't controlling you; we’re ‘saving’ you from yourself.” By labeling Mickey’s entire life as a "symptom," they’ve invalidated his existence. Every fear he felt was real to him, but now his reality has been overwritten by a transdermal gel.
The Domestic Panopticon
Mickey is now a "docile body." He grooms himself not out of instinct, but because the chemical "guard" in his bloodstream has forced his behavior into the socially accepted norm. He is no longer a cat; he is a managed biological asset. He purrs now because the friction of his existence has been sanded down.
The most chilling part? The owner wants him to stay on it permanently. The experiment was a success: the "deviant" has been normalized. Mickey didn't "find peace"—he just stopped being a nuisance. He’s finally the "good boy" the system demanded, and all it cost was the last bit of his autonomy.

/ayyleavemealone/ Alien Abduction General

Were you abducted by aliens? What kind of aliens? What did they do to you? What are your expectations for disclosure? What would you do if they gave you the keys to the spaceship? How would you rate your abduction experience out of ten stars?

Me:
>abducted by the greys
>they drugged me on Ativan (I've been given it enough times to recognize the feeling) and harvested my sperm
>the morning after this abduction I found out my ex was pregnant with my child
>child was born with a heart defect and died before she was two

My opinion on disclosure: There's a truth to the theory that they're hiding the truth about aliens because people would have an immediate "we have to kill them all" reaction. My story isn't uncommon, this is the kind of shit everyone who gets abducted by the greys goes through. If there are other species of aliens, they aren't stopping the greys, so they're all our enemies as far as I'm concerned. I don't care if they gave us the tech for the internet or whatever, if they needed my sperm to save their species or something, they could have fuckin' asked. If they abduct me again I'm fighting through the hypnotics and crashing that bitch of a ship into their own fleet.

Whacha readn/watchn thread

Since the board is slow, (and my adhd stuggle to post on near-dead boards), let's do a general discussion thread of what you've been reading/watching.
Similar to the /tv/ thread on hobby.

I'll start:
Manga: Kingdom
It's alot of fun, currently on chapter 430.
Despite the restriction of it being in the past, there's alot of strategy/complication that makes it interesting to read.

And the manga is fun in the fact that it has shoenin level power clashing and hyping of characters – but still respects reality.
Like a character being healed after a fight is explained by months or even years of a time skip, or when situations where "talk-no-jutsu" would've occurred in shoenin, instead the person ranting is just meant to understand the world more before they die.

I am reading some others as well, like: Vinland Saga, One Piece, Watamote, and a few others – just been alittle addicted to Kingdom.
(I should catch up with One Piece though.. I'm 110 chapters behind with it).

Anime on the other hand, nothing.
Though I've been feeling nostaligic for Bobobo, will probably watch in half a years time.

Also if this thread has alot of replies, pin it as a thread to update in when you visit the board.

Nostalgia cartoons that hold up

I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.
The SlayersThe first "real" anime I saw and it got me interested in anime and d&d style worlds.Pretty thought out lore and universe.

So what are yours comradanons

Outta Control World

Capitalism can only end when profit is no longer the incentive and is rendered useless, that requires either resource depletion or a change of the MOP as to underminet he cost of labour and the need for employed labour.

Never in history has a mode of production been forcefully "fought" and replaced, there was no capitalist movement to end the feudal mode of production, nor for any in the history of civilization. Communism is a bourgeois movement that postures as the real process of change, when change can only come when the mode of production runs its course.

There is only one thing that people who want change can do - they can wait.

I Want to Leave the Right

Going out on a real limb here and being genuine.
I've got a really long history I'm not gonna Dear Diary about, but I've been around a bit.
Even though I was part of various groups that are Alt-Right I have always had various Left-of-Center beliefs. I felt like I was the only one that understood the
>socialist
aspects of various camps for a while.
Just generally after 18-something years, I'm tired of this crap. These are some of the most useless, in-fighting, bought-out, dogshit people I have ever dealt with
>and I've been to prison so I have a wide berth of experience with shit people
and I want off the fucking ride.
I can't say I don't believe in some
>"Right-of-Center"
things and I feel like they're hard-coded and baked into me. Some aspects I don't fully buy into, but I don't feel like walking away from because I don't necessarily feel like they are not incompatible to me with various aspects of Leftism.
>Southern Nationalism probably being the biggest example
>A few religious beliefs
I actually have read lots of Leftist literature like Marx and Engels and a few others. Maybe they aren't really
>Leftist
but I guess maybe it goes in that direction, more like, "cLaSsIcAl LiBeRaLiSm" idk.
My life has changed in the last few years. I'm disconnected from everything. I want to just move on from these losers. I hate to say it but if they were the people they LARP'd as I like to think I'd still be one of them.
But they're not; they're all dogshit losers.
I've always had this, "Fly-on-the-Wall," thing where I can float around places and get along. I like sincerity, I like conviction. I don't necessarily care how crazy it is sometimes, just be real - be honest. I've had lots of Leftist friends and eventually many of my beliefs have cost me them. At the same time almost none of my
>"Right-Wing"
friends have stuck around.
I think this has all be a rambling mess
Hopefully I get a good conversation out of this. I guess I'm looking for direction, someone with a similar story.

Why do people still support Trump?

According to CNN (If you can trust them) only 38% of Americans support Trump, that is small compared to the majority but that still means that 129 Million people support Trump after everything. And I genuinely don’t know how, because there are many rich country-club republicans who support him and it makes sense for them by why rural Appalachian farmers support him?!?! And they don’t just support him, they would literally die for this man, they are hive-minded-cattle, many boomers literally don’t speak to their children who don’t support Trump. I don’t even think similar populist strong-men like Putin have supporters like this (Correct me if I’m wrong). Like maybe you could say that Mao, Castro, Tito, Nasser, or Kim Il-Sung had ride or die supporters like this but that makes sense because they improved the lives of their people, Trump has not improved the lives of the working people at all, like what does a rural, Appalachian, Gen X, farmer get out of supporting Trump? Trump just made this hypothetical person unable to go to a nearby hospital, unable to by affordable gas or fertilizer, and in his first term Trump killed his mom with Covid.
I know that many will reply “They’re stupid don’t try to dissect it” but I will anyways.
First of all for decades the Republican Party and even the Democratic Party has gutted education in order to make these people stupid.
Second of all whenever something is bad Trump gives them an explanation weather it be Brown people, trans people, or Chyna, it is bullshit but democrats which are the only other option and they don’t provide any explanation, and since they are uneducated and lack critical thinking skills they buy Trumps shit.
Third of all the rural working class is deeply evangelical and in their culture they teach their kids to look up to their abusive fathers so as adults these KKKhristians imprint on Trump.
Fourth of all Trump is a Slopulist and he larps as Anti-Elitist during his elections by calling out lobbyists and industrial complexes but goes back on it when he is back in office.
Fifth of all, boomers are stuck-up and don’t want to admit when they have been bamboozled so they think that they have no choice but to keep supporting him.
Sixth of all, culturally among suburban liberals they are taught to be respectful to others with different political views while rural conservatives are taught the opposite so no one ever wants to slap someone shit into these people.

Video game ecologies

I seriously cannot understand how monster hunter games are still the only games with a coherent ecology for their over worlds. From a developer standpoint, they shouldn’t be hard to implement—at least on a highly superficial level. Just separate neutral mobs from hostile mobs based off a zone so players have a choose between venturing off into places with dangerous territory vs venturing to hunting grounds. Ffs, we already have level bands and levelled areas, how hard is something like this to implement? I’m not even going deep on this like with realistic day/night cycles or mob migration.

Alguien seguia la campaña de Manzo?

ITT Post animations, WIPs, and so on.

Professional animation is usually collaborative, with different people drawing the parts of the animations, doing lines vs color or keyframes vs in-betweens, etc.

RISC-V open source HDTV?

So for this open source DIY RISC-V “Smart TV” project:

Use a VisionFive 2 or other HDMI-capable RISC-V SBC.

Run Linux + Kodi/LibreELEC/MythTV.

Add a USB tuner for ATSC/DVB broadcasts.

Use a CrowVision 11.6-inch Touchscreen Monitor as an open source external display that you could plug into the board setup that would be compatible.

And that's it.

I'm here so you guys scream at me to try to convince me to use anything but a noobuntu distro.

After support for W10 ends I'm switching my 14 years old home desktop computer into something a bit more recent, and I'm genuinely considering using GNU+Linux as my "main driver" as kids say nowadays.

I have a lot of experience using Mint as that was my distro of choice for nearly 14 months, I think Cinnamon is an eyesore but otherwise it just werks and I could do almost everything I wanted to do except running Game Maker Studio 2 which is only available on Ubuntu according to the devs.

I'm considering using Kubuntu since KDE Plasma looks sick and it's basically Ubuntu so I can consoom my noob gamedev kit in peace.

As an addendum I hate "rolling distros". Manjaro is an abomination where things just werk against you if you're not a giga turbonerd who's on the computer 24/7 and derives sexual pleasure from fixing tech issues.

Drug use

The worst, least disciplined 'Marxists' I've ever known have all been junkies, including myself at one point. Sure H feels good and distracts from the Everything of it all but how do these self-proclaimed 'Lefties' (ha!) not realise that they're doing exactly what They want us to.

What are your experiences with drug use

Underground Organizing

How do we organize in the face of modern mass surveillance when they ban being a communist? How should an underground party organize itself? What underground tactics should be adopted? How can an underground party build dual power and threaten the state?

Leftypol was right about MAGA and most of the “far right.”

These people are actually insane. They have no shame.

For years they claimed to be anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-elite. Now they cheer interventions, ignore the Epstein stuff, and defend literally anything Trump does. No standards left at all.

At this point the only thing they consistently care about is culture war slop.

Trump has betrayed them on basically every front that originally made the movement interesting. And instead of noticing, they just double down harder.

As someone closer to the Ron Paul libertarian side of things now, I genuinely feel alienated from this entire crowd of right wingers now. I can't stand these people.

I used to think MAGA was at least a messy populist revolt against the system. Now it just looks like another loyal faction inside it

I want to wake them up, but I can't because they're retarded… so honestly I wish this whole cringe “far right” internet ecosystem would disappear. I want the democrats to humiliate them in the midterms. And yes democrats are garbage too but at least they're going to humiliate them and their disgusting garbage president.

Tl:dr i feel completely alienated from the right. they are total morons. The right is dying, and it deserves to die.

A case for social-liberalism, progressivism and social-democracy.

I am not completely against socialism (mainly democratic socialism) and communism/marxism, but I think modern society evolved in a way we should prioritize freedom+democracy over any authoritarian regime.

We should organize society within this framework and try to reform the system from within.

The idea of "revolution" is a broad idea. Reform and progress can be considered "revolutions" and I make the case they actually are grat revolutions, because they are part of a greater consesus instead of an authoritarian takeover. They tend to be more stable and irreversible because of the strong social consensus over time.

We should invest in education to teach people socialist ideas so they grow up being strong reformists and end up changing society over time and fight against right-wing radicalism. That's what I think.

4chan /pol/ is deleting any post related to /pol/ being an epstein psyop and banning you. i cant believe there are so many people who thought they were too smart to fall for a psyop spent their lives on that shithole board, trying to lecture the public about what is what.

Communist or Commie Adjacent Shows

Hello Sisters and Brothers, I'm looking for some recommendations for TV shows to watch that have a communist tilt to them, or are straight up communist.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch

I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

One Battle After Another

This movie was fucking awesome. I have seen a lot of PTA, but also Battle of Algiers and all of the New Left movies from various countries and their respective movements, and the film lives up to those broadly speaking.

I don't know why so many communists seem to hate this movie. It seems it's the same people who engage in endless critique instead of action.
