I can't be associated with a movement led by manlets. I renounce communism. Call it manletism instead.

>>797411
Bet you wouldn't be calling him a manlet if they built the palace of the soviets.

Those cities are still fatter on average than a Japanese city.

the hidden caveat here is that it would be difficult to get views on your clickbait thumbnail if you were comparing geopolitically controversial things, like comparing the imperial core with the periphery, or comparing a peacetime city with a bombed out city that is an active war zone and full of starving people, so they are comparing the fattest peacetime city in the imperial core with the skinniest peacetime city in the imperial core (yes, japan is imperial core even though they have a burger occupied govt.)

The worst part is the arrow pointing towards the baby oil bottles. This is why I use DeArrow.

The terror of revolution is purely materialistic and has nothing to do with wanting people to suffer. It's not whether or not the bourgeoisie "deserves" to be punished, it's simply what the working class must do for its own sake.

Information extracted under torture is unreliable and immediately unverifiable. “Extracting information” is just the window dressing capitalists use to do exactly what I’m describing but to much more innocent people.

>>797279
>It should only be done at last resort measure for information extraction, nothing else.
retard. that doesn't work. people just say whatever you want them to say or make shit up. It's a tool for extracting false confessions when you need a scapegoat. That is the only practical use of torture. There is no "legitimate" use even as a "last resort." It is only a crime for cathartic sadism. In the hands of revolutionaries it corrupts them. In the hands of reactionaries it reveals what they always were. I am not naive enough to think torture will end. It will continue, because people are stupid and sadistic and don't learn anything. I can only express my distaste for it whenever the topic comes up. Boo, torture!

just lock them in a room with no food or water and put microphones and cameras all around it

>budget of basically Hamas
both are funded my multinational capital

I believe the current iteration of the Taliban is somewhat less extremist from the ones that ruled in 2001. More extreme Islamist have shown up on the scene and I believe the Taliban are generally not friendly towards them. Hopefully a bigger integration with China, Russia and Iran will help in moderating their ideology.

They suck, although foreign intervention sucks so just let their regime collapse and hopefully something better will pop up

(not mine btw, i found it on steam)

insanity and thriller slop, would take me minutes to write down the entire thing without sounding like an autist final boss

tldr; all inspired by a dumb fantasy map i saw here 5 years ago

imagine a AI built with chatgpt codes around 2016 ..except the inventor is a rabid lolbertarian in a suburb basement. and basically made a GPT-1 replica when the project was still a prototype, gave it atlas shrugged as an asimov law.

its the same world but robotics have been invested into so much yet so loosely some steals schematics and basically build an AI. and feed it the fountain head, guy's a menace, not registered to the IRS, has hidden gold in his home. makes her and since he's a massive imageboards weeb, builds her with fenced parts from a US research base specializing in robotics.
trains its promts on only libertarian and ancap online talks even as it now walks

>Any fiction/novel writers on here?
I am and I'm down to read and give critiques on anyone's writing if you're interested. I try to do as best I can 'for free' too.

>What are some things you had to research for your novel?
I've had so many story ideas I've researched and not written to list. I guess I have an interesting one. I was writing a story set in Paris during the 1867 World Expo involving events going on in Meiji-era(or actually pre-Meiji era, about the cusp Japan) but set in France during the Paris Expo where Japan made their first appearance. Lot of good ideas. I was going to have Toulouse Latrec and Van Gogh as characters and it all lined up with the real history perfectly. It was a great idea but I was really writing it for other people and it doesn't truly speak to me personally, maybe I should still right it someday. Oh yeah, I contacted this guy who had all these scans of lithographs from that expo for some reason I couldn't find elsewhere online and he wrote back to me.

Oh yeah, and I even bought a Harvard Press book on Tokugawa-Western relations because that's how surious I was. I was writing it as a screenplay and I used to post on this forum which was the premier forum for Hollywood sceenwriters, I was posting with all these dudes who get paid (mid, low, high) six-figures for a screenplay, but I will tell you, the prevailing opinion in that millieu is: "Facts be damned, just write any rewrite of actual history to make a compelling story!" Even like talking about serious historical dramas or biopics or whatever. Always makes me laugh when people talk about "soft-disclosure" or whatever. Bruh Hollywood screenwriters are as low-brow as the people who watch that shlock. They don't care about anything but titillating you. There is no rhyme or reason to their choices other than to pander to the prevailing tropes of the era which they're trying to sell their work.
