EDIÇÃO BEBÊ-DIABO DO ABC
"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."

Why is it socially acceptable if not encouraged in all political axes to hate work but it's considered blasphemous to hate school?

Why is it that whenever I ask most people what they learn in school, all they tell is the dumb shenanigans they committed, even to the point of wanting to officiate "rites of passage" based on dumb reckless childish stunts, but they cannot remember one intellectual thing?


Whenever adults are asked to help with schoolwork, their minds are blank. Whenever it comes to bullying, they have no backbone except for punishing victims for self defense.

I notice that the people who miss school the most usually are those with no work ethic or people who kinda have some unfulfilled teenage quests.

I'm not against schooling, but we need to revamp it entirely. Trying to segregate worldly factors from the classroom for the sake of "protecting the younguns" usually results in an immature society.

I believe a lot of our problems with labor and education is due to how modern society views them as parallel worlds with differing rules.

School should reflect the workforce in social treatment, type of tasks, and infrastructural design

ugh I don't really see where you're getting this idea that people hate working or jobs, I think that's maybe something you see a lot on niche places on the internet, but in real life most people are still just slaves to capitalism, they don't even want you to think, you're supposed to just either find a job and work (and if you don't then it's your fault you're just lazy) or you're just supposed to immediately take something in school and get into debt to pay for the tuition. I have always seen the way most people view working and the education system as like some pinball machine, it pretty much is this strange game you are supposed to play, you are just taking risks and chances all the time with your god damn life, and it's almost like this daring, exciting risk of chance to the average person. You just hit the ball around trying to strike gold or get "rich" or some shit. At least, that's the average understanding the average person seems to have of the workings of the system we are in. The thing is, even if they do know more, they mostly want to keep people like you in the dark as much as possible.

But it's like capitalism is supposed to just literally be a part of nature or life, and you're just literally surviving on your ability to fend for yourself in nature. It's just weird as fuck.

That has been the majority of my experience with a lot of people, the vast majority, which is why I don't really have more experiences because it started to become so dreadful. Most people aren't that intelligent I think, and have no idea what they're really doing. Or they know just enough to extort people, but for them it's probably something they studied a lot and it was a major deal with them, like simple intellectual concepts, intellectual concepts at all are a sign of intelligence or a big deal to the average person probably.

I just see a lot of people like they're slaves, or not much different then dogs, like they're made to be incredibly territorial and they can't be taught hardly or see beyond those strong instincts. Property=territory, and a job, I have no idea what that really is to some people. They really think that some rich capitalist industrialist or bushiness owner is like some caveman Savannah dude who is like a tribal god or deity magically creating the conditions by killing a t-rex and stealing a pterodactyl egg or something like I don't get it? it doesn't make sense.

But that's why I think some people are predisposed to being right wing or something, and not really very capable of being liberated.

The thing is scientists say that human beings are supposed to be social creatures, and that quite obviously is true to an extinct, but the way in which people can be social really diverges quite a lot. Some people they remind me almost of cavemen. There's a lot we don't know about the cavemen, but you can totally imagine their ancestors hitting people over the head with clubs, and using rocks for everything, without bathing. I mean, I like the flintstones and other depictions of them, so maybe I shouldn't go there.

I think higher up on the intelligence spectrum there are people who see everything like it's some part of a party, an extension of corporations basically, since they basically rule the world, and not all that removed from sports or something. That doesn't bother me as much, but to see everything like an extension of corporations is terrible. I guess it's more like an allegiance and is not quite the same.

But seeing capitalism like it's just 'nature' is just super weird to me. But I don't think some people can really be as communal or collectivist as others are capable of. But that's a complicated subject because I want to be collectivist for example, but I find myself considering myself an individualist most of the time. I would have to be really extreme if I were to be a collectivist as an example, sort of, but not in a super traditionalist way like a lot of people would think of that notion.

Sometimes I drift almost towards some kind of neoliberal or libertarianism position where I'm astonished that we spend so much money on schooling when, in my personal experience, you'd literally get the same results sitting everyone aged 10-18 a computer in a prison.
The only biasing factor is that my parents taught me to read, write, and do math. If your parents were unwilling or unable to do that, I see the use of school to teach you (in theory - in practice the kinds of kids who came from those families didn't exactly excel in school either), but other than that: just one gigantic inefficient waste of time. There are a lot of things you can't self-teach, sure, and school taught me and most other kids none of them. For the few who did pick up an instrument or a language and didn't immediately forget it in their 20s, you could get that outcome much more cheaply without the whole wasteful edifice of public school.

It runs against every socialist instinct I have, but whenever I think back on it, I become convinced by a sort of libertarian argument that we should all-but-abolish public education and just send parents a cheque to the value of the average cost of educating a child. Choice and competition would promote less-useless childcare (which is what 90% of education is) with more options for focusing on what you or your parents want out of it, being able to switch providers would provide an actually-effective way to deal with bullying, and for families that just use the money to supplement their income instead of buying a good education, the money's probably going to do them more good than sending their kid to school to be bullied by teachers for struggling thanks to their poor home life.
Obviously that's not my "under full communism…" solution, but it might be the most radical right-wing policy proposal that I find myself sympathetic to.

Really, the only thing that puts me off advocating such a position is the other people who're attracted to it…

>>1539
Maybe we should separate kids from their families for a few years like around ages 10-14 where they could be taught to learn on their own while living on their own for a time. Under supervision of experts of course. I always thought that this was a good idea since I've often thought that families are often the biggest impediments in the development of a child to an independent and functional adult.

Stemlords are actually picrel. Its no surprise stemlords are complete retards. Im doing a masters in STEM and can't believe how intellectually barren math and this field is. There is no critical thinking involved, just memorizing some garbage symbols and their rules. Solving some dumb problems with some dumb patterns and repeat.

How did stemlords get so much prestige, while being just mere symbol technicians? Humanities at least teaches some theory and critical thinking, STEM is just complete trash meant for brainlets.

No wonder philosophy underpins all math and logic, stem is just surface level work for retards. I havent encountered a single intellectually deep thought in STEM once.

It's a mediocre, purely artistic movie. Some scenes are so unrealistic that they're laughable, and some are deliberately comical, which doesn't suit this type of movie. The actress playing the commander is bad and her Japanese sounds weird. I don't like that everything is so sterile, clean and aesthetical. In my opinion, historical movies should be dirty and realistic.

I am starting to read "Neurosis and civilization : a Marxist/Freudian synthesis" of Michael Schneider, but is my first book about the subject, and i am not experience in neither Freud nor Marx.

File: 1768218497393.jpeg (24.24 KB, 447x447, images.jpeg)

We may first read Lacan's assessment of Freud's project (1956):
>"Psychoanalysis should be the science of language inhabited by the subject. From the Freudian point of view man is the subject captured and tortured by language."
<Jacques Lacan, Seminar 3, Ch. 19, Sct. 3
This "torture" we can see structurally, by the separation of the signifier from the signified, and further, of the signifier's internal separation from itself, as we may read from chapter 14, from seminar 3:
<The signifier, as such, signifies nothing […] Experience proves it - the more the signifier signifies nothing, the more indestructible it is […] There's no other scientific definition of subjectivity than one that proceeds from the possibility of handling the signifier for purely signifying, not significant ends, that is, expressing no direct relation of the order of appetite […] the signifier, which is that it signifies nothing and is therefore always capable of yielding various meanings.
I take this to mean that the signifier "as such" (S) is separated by its formality from what is "signified" (s), and so, the appeal to the signifier (S) is an end in-itself, not a means to an end. An example is in religion, where the signifier "God" only refers to itself, and so is internally contentless. as an example, we may read hegel (1816):
<This proposition in its positive expression A = A is, in the first instance, nothing more than the expression of an empty tautology. It has therefore been rightly remarked that this law of thought has no content and leads no further.
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hl/hl409.htm
Thus, the signifier cannot signify anything other than itself (A is A), yet the internal content of A is also empty, so A is not-A. Hegel works this out by applying negativity to give identity totality, but Lacan resists totality, speaking of "set" (Ch. 14, Sct. 1):
<I said a set, I didn't say a totality. As a matter of fact, the notion of structure is analytic […] I think that you're well enough oriented to understand that the notion of structure is by itself already a manifestation of the signifier.

We can also compare Marx's structuralism against Baudrillard's poststructuralism, by looking at simulacrum. Marx insists upon a real relation in symbols:
<The fact that money can, in certain functions, be replaced by mere symbols of itself, gave rise to that other mistaken notion, that it is itself a mere symbol […] Lawyers started long before economists the idea that money is a mere symbol, and that the value of the precious metals is purely imaginary. This they did in the sycophantic service of the crowned heads, supporting the right of the latter to debase the coinage, during the whole of the middle ages, by the traditions of the Roman Empire and the conceptions of money to be found in the Pandects.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch02.htm
<the issue of paper money must not exceed in amount the gold (or silver as the case may be) which would actually circulate if not replaced by symbols […] Paper money is a token representing gold or money. The relation between it and the values of commodities is this, that the latter are ideally expressed in the same quantities of gold that are symbolically represented by the paper. Only in so far as paper money represents gold, which like all other commodities has value, is it a symbol of value.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch03.htm
Thus, money can only be "real" if it directly represents a proportion of gold or silver, to Marx. This distinction is older than Marx, however, such as in the work of Adam Smith (1776), who distinguishes between the "real" and "nominal" values of currency based in their relationship to exchange. For example, a currency which is depreciated by excess, loses its real value, while preserving its nominal (or "face" value). £1 is still £1, but may purchase less per unit. The £1 is constant, while its purchasing power is variable. This variability is the measure of its "real" value, since it represents what it can really exchange for, not what it denominates. For example, being a millionaire in America makes one really rich, while being a millionaire in Zimbabwe makes one poor. Equally, being a millionaire yesterday meant more than being a mPost too long.

Baudrillard:
>In the distinction between exchange value and use value, Marxism shows its strength but also its weakness. The presupposition of use value- the hypothesis of a concrete value beyond the abstraction of exchange value, a human purpose of the commodity in the moment of its direct relation of utility for a subject- is only the effect of the sys­tem of exchange value, a concept produced and developed by it […] He does not radicalize the schema to the point of reversing this appearance and revealing use value as produced by the play of exchange value […] In other words, the signified "use value" here is still a code effect, the final precipitate of the law of value.
<Mirror of Production, Chapter 1, Section 2
Thus, "use-value" is essentially a "value in use" (as per Smith). Marx makes a category error by stating, for example, that "a use-value can exist, without being a value", since he (in the german text), distinguishes "use-value" ("Gebrauchswert") from "utility" ("Nützlichkeit"). If indeed, as Baudrillard properly concludes, use-value is the symptom of the form of value (e.g. money) relating value to itself, then use-value is an effect, not a cause, and so cannot exist outside of the commodity form, but is only within it. As a "code effect" then, use-value is signified by its constitutive status as commodity (e.g. a use-value is only produced in being subjectively determined as an exchange-value, or a product of abstract labour, concretely expressed. Thus as Marx states, useless labour "does not count", and so cannot precede its abstraction. This leads to great confusion, in the same sense that Engels footnotes, separating "labour" from "work" in itself. The originary abstraction of value of course makes sense from an empirical outlook, where "labour-time" as measure of value is obviously accounted from wages, *not* the other way round, owing to its particular historicity, not a transhistorical essence, as Marx and Engels assume. Baudrillard quotes Pierre Naville on this point, in Section 3). Here is further controversy, since if use-value is only within the commodity form (i.e. the form of value), then is our "imaginary" value equally an imaginary use-value…?

Baudrillard offers his political critique:
>Failing to conceive of a mode of social wealth other than that founded on labor and production, Marxism no loPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

In Chapter 1, Section 5, Baudrillard begins by a description of the ontology of labour as the self-determined essence of man, by various citations, including Marcuse. This is the pinnacle of the Marxist concept, of Labour as the means by which man is subject over his personified essence in a dialectical manner (e.g. Entailing reversal in political economy, where his objectivity becomes the medium of his own subject, i.e. Man worships himself in money, rather than the other way round). In this way, man imparts himself into nature, and thus "humanises" nature, as Baudrillard says. With further citation from Marcuse, Baudrillard diagnoses Marxism as inhabiting the "protestant work ethic", by reference to Weber; that if Labour is the means by which abstract Man "creates" himself, then his very Being is determined by his subjection to productivity in labour:
<this aberrant sanctification of work has been the secret vice of Marxist political and economic strategy from the beginning.
After this, Baudrillard cites a brilliant excerpt from Walter Benjamin on the folly of Marxism's divinity of Labour (t. "Poesie et Revolution", 1971) which exposes the nonsense of esteeming Man's Being as a symptom of his capacity to labour (which, we must remember, was also the slogan above Auschwitz, "Arbeit Macht Frei"). Even "play" is defined by Marcuse as a "useless" product of a rationalised labour. Thus as Baudrillard sees it:
<In effect, the sphere of play is defined as the fulfillment of human rationality, the dialectical culmination of man's activity of incessant objectification of nature and control of his exchanges with it. It presupposes the full development of productive forces ; it "follows in the footsteps" of the reality principle and the trans­formation of nature. Marx clearly states that it can flourish only when founded on the reign of necessity. Wishing itself beyond labor but in its continuation, the sphere of play is always merely the esthetic sublimation of labor's constraints […] Work and non-work: here is a "revolutionary" theme. It is undoubtedly the most subtle form of the type of binary, structural opposition discussed above. The end of the end of exploitation by work is this reverse fascination with non-work, this reverse mirage of free time (forced time-free time, full time­ empty time: another paradigm that fixes the hegemony of a temporal order which is always merely tPost too long.

Depends. It reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_paper, where you burn paper that's meant to be money for spirits. So if you burn a message maybe something literate and having agency will pick it up and lend a hand. Really seems like a gamble if that's what it is.

I'm straight and I always thought that it was funny when a character for example says "I'm gay" and that's the entire joke. This video is a very good example of what I'm talking about. However I always wondered if this type of humor otherizes gay people. I know that this is idol or whatever but I still wanted to get your thoughts.

Where does this star get elements that we have to create in a lab, and in such abundance that we can detect them from 356 light-years away? And why not take a closer look at this with JWST?

Yes. In the future you will be able to transition to other species through genetic therapy or even possible to become bispecies(See: catgirls)

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.

>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.


>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.


>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.


>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.


>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single Atari

I was reading random articles when I came across this skeptic guy named Miles Mathis. He has a billion papers on different people and other things and basically just hates millionaire capitalist families and glowfags like any other conspiracy theorist. I like his hoax event and glowfag shitting papers but saw he has a paper on Marx, Castro, Hitler and other leaders.

To tl;dr the paper he says Marx was a mole from an elite family and socialism and communism is a meme devised by jewish industrialists. He rambles on a lot and talks about shit no one cares about, but some of Marx's family ties to European nobility does make me wonder if many of the people we trust and care about aren't actually who they appear as. Or maybe this guy is just an agent himself and trying to slander us. What do you guys think?

the point of the analogy is that the pamphlet is fake, and to uncritically take it at face value is to play into the antisemitic propaganda. it is the same as reading a pamphlet about the yellow peril and saying "I'm not sinophobic but this sounds concerning" without first asking yourself if the book is real, and if not, why was it made and what agenda it was trying to push

He actually wrote a little bit on the protocols I'll have to find a PDF

Scientific socialism is a glow op. Lemme explain, Marx was from a middle class family and married an aristocrat while Engels was straight up bourgeois capitalist. They weren't the only ones, Kropotkin was a serf owning aristocrat. It has nothing to do with Jews. So these people were non-proles who infiltrated the workers movement because of a sense of bourgeois guilt and shame at raping the workers and their bourgeois values influenced their beliefs and theories. Scientific socialism is just socialism with bourgeois characteristics stealthily mixed into it. Anarchism is romantic aristocratic thinking pretending to be a popular movement. So all forms of Marxism and anarchism today are evolved from bourgeois systems.

Neo Nazi uyghurs say Jew because they project all the problems of white bourgeois civilization onto Jews so they can pretend someone else caused all their problems. This is sublimation of class struggle the way jocks sublimate their repressed homosexuality into sports.

This explanation falls apart the moment you look at

A: Utopian socialism before scientific socialism, who was responsible for it, who was in charge of it
B: Marx and Engels's critique of utopian socialism

Utopian Socialism was the approach taken by Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, Robert Owen, all of them from wealthy ruling class backgrounds, all of them with the same exact sense of guilt you ascribe to Marx and Engels.

Marx and Engels criticized Utopian socialism on precisely the same lines you claim Marx and Engels are wrong: they attacked the Utopians for their reformist and bourgeois ideas stealthily mixed, for their philosophical idealism, and for its ineffective and overly pacifistic organizational strategies. They denounced bourgeois guilt, bourgeois charity, class collaboration, bourgeois-led workers movements, overreliance on electoralism, reforms, unions, and cooperatives, (i.e. the legal half of the struggle).

If your suggestion is that the struggle should be entirely illegal and that Marx and Engels were wrong for suggesting that there even need to be a legal half of struggle in addition to illegal struggle and violence, then you are of a deviation known as Otzevism which Lenin criticized thoroughly.

Does anybody else not understand why they find guys attractive? I recently came across a video that said "straight men just dont understand what women and gay men find attractive in males" and it made me realize that I couldnt even identify what it is about men that im even attracted too.

I definitley know when i find another guy attractive, but I usually couldnt explain why. My tastes in men arent even very coherent, I like feminine men, but I also like buff hairy dudes, and I also like incels. My attraction to men makes no logical sense

Why does every single transfem character in media make me feel so miserable?

I know I should be happy that people like me are getting more representation but im not. Everytime I see a character like brigette from guilty gear im just reminded how ill never be as pretty as her, and how ill never be as confident and happy as her.

Even that one movie I Saw The TV Glow which every trans person was raving about made me feel worse than any other piece of media has ever made me feel before. It felt like the movie itself was mocking me for being too cowardly to transition, and basically telling me that I was gonna suffer and be unhappy forever until I die.
