Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

Something in a jurisdiction which uses court order instead of DMCA.
And critically isn't in a jurisdiction with hate-speech legislation.
I've found a service offering the pipe, with many jurisdictions.
But don't want to be fined or imprisoned for ironic anti-hybernianism, or links.
Didn't see any that have both of these features, deregulated.
Is there anywhere that in practice doesn't really enforce these things?
Or is it possible to use (the exorbitant) DDOS-Guard or another service to hide?

transness as an economic symptom
men are seen as the breadwinners, value determined by money, finances, economic power
more and more men are unable to access this value, this causes gender dysphoria, and seeing that the economic power of women is stronger than men, seek to gain that economic power via transitioning. this only accounts for a small but noticable percentage of trans people, and does not imply that all trans people come from this logic, only that this logic does to some degree create trans people, and if economic opportunities were better, there would surely be less trans people. This is also why the bulk of new trans people are trans women. Women don't really need to transition to a man to access the economics that womanhood innately brings. The inability to perform the role of man, which is fundmentally an economic role, leads to men transitioning.
would you be trans if you had a good job making 120k a year? if you had the ability to support a family? I wouldn't be.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.
Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.
One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).
Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.
And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them. Plus, all of the stories his accusers tell fit perfectly with the model of grooming: MJ would dazzle the parents of these kids and buy them lots of expensive items, the parents would let their guards down and allow him to do what he pleased with their children, then MJ would have almost romantic-like relations with these kids. In no possible world would that ever be acceptable for a grown man to do.
So what gives? Why do so many comrades still defend MJ so viciously?

To begin, what is Marxism?
>Marxism is not a theory of equality. It is not a diagnosis of injustice, nor is it a specific prescription of how to remedy society’s ills. Marxism is a method for acquiring knowledge about the laws governing the historical development of societies. Marxism thus regards itself as a type of science. Most people think of science as something purely descriptive.
<But the reason Marx’s contemporaries called him Prometheus is because he bequeathed a science that did not just describe reality, but participated in its development. This makes Marxism totally contrary to modern science.
>Modern science places knowledge above its object. To know, means to strip something naked to consciousness and turn it into a utility for the knowing subject. He who knows an object, can control, master, and alter an object. But the ‘object’ known by Marxism is none other than human society itself. And the paradox lies in the obvious fact that society is not just an object, but also a subject. Marxists (subjects) are themselves part of the very object they make knowable.
<To complicate matters further, Marx does not claim knowledge of society alone can transform society. Instead, he proves that society is already coming to know and transform itself materially in the form of the then growing proletarian class. Most people think Marx is ‘Promethean’ because he wanted his ideas popularized. But the REAL reason was because he had the courage of declaring the return of knowledge back to being itself, and human beings in particular. He created a science that ceased to be above its object.
>For Marx, the knowledge of historical laws arrived at by consciousness, was being reflected in history itself. Knowledge of humanity does not dominate humanity, but reveals that it was there, and part of it all along. “Communism is the riddle of history solved.”
Why the need for class consciousness?
<This is where people misunderstand Leninism as an attempt to turn politics and state power into a tool for realizing some goal of the mind. In reality, the role of Marxists lies in spreading the ‘good news’ to the despairing proletariat. Class consciousness, the so-called ‘vanguard party,’ and the Communist state is the realization of the proletariat’s faith in itself. Communism is not realized ‘automatically’ without the participation of a Communist party because society is not just an object.
>Neither just a subject either. Communist parties do not create new societies, only guide the existing development of society. This guidance is necessary because politics, Communist or otherwise is itself part of material reality. Without the guidance of proletarian consciousness, the movement propelling society still continues. But it leads to an economic, political, spiritual, moral and overall social crisis. Society eats away at itself as it cannot make sense of the contradictions driving it. The crisis of Western Marxism lies in its inability to overcome the subject/object distinction when it comes to society.
How can society both be a real (material) object, while also given the quality of subjective responsibility?
<Two responses emerge. The first cope of Western Marxism is a type of fatalism, which Lenin calls economism. According to this view, politics is not involved in the revolutionary transformation of society at all, which happens only because of economics, or a spontaneous uprising of the proletariat.
>The second (more relevant) is the opposite extreme. In this view, society must act as a pure subject in the form of institutions (party or otherwise), exterminating every trace of its pre-conscious, and objective material being, recreating all society from scratch.
<But both two sides of Western Marxism are incompatible with Marx’s Promethean gesture of suspending knowledge back to being. In the first, being is upheld entirely independent of knowledge. In the second, knowledge is asserted over and at the expense of being. If society will become communist independently of the engaged subjective partisanship of communists, then all you have is the conceit of some subject-in-the-know passively watching their object fulfill the expectations of subjective knowledge. If communism is just some enlightened consciousness, then what you have are psychotic subjects devoid of any trust that their knowledge is actually based in (non-conscious) reality itself, denouncing the latter as ‘reactionary.’ Knowledge only as ‘subjective self-consciousness.’
>The ‘praxis’ uniting thought and practice then is only in the fractal movement of subjective self-consciousness - voluntary ‘action’ becomes the ‘object’ of the subject, who then acts on its basis: ‘object’ takes on the processual quality of yet-to-be fulfilled subjectivity. This is exactly why some people place Marxism in the Gnostic tradition: This Western interpretation of Marxism is founded upon a metaphysical distrust for reality. Because of that distrust, good, virtue, etc. lies only in knowledge as pure subjective self-consciousness.
Origins of Western Marxism
<This Western Marxism has its origins in the neo-Kantian György Lukács, whose seminal work “History and Class Consciousness” was written to resolve the problem the subject/object distinction posed for the Marxist concept of society, class & history. In order to begin, Lukács engaged in an egregious form of revisionism; blaming for Marxism’s commitment to natural realism Fredrich Engels and his "dialectics of nature."
>To Lukács, when Marx referred to objective material reality, he was merely opposing society as a supra-individual horizon of meaning to individual subjectivity. It did not include objective natural reality, which Lukács brackets as irrelevant to Marxism. Society was ‘objective,’ and consciousness was ‘subjective.’ Their dialectical interaction, for Lukács, was the basis of history itself. But the material reality outside of social mediation (nature) was irrelevant to, and outside this dialectic, outside history.
<The reason I mention Lukács is because Western Marxism was founded on the false view that he resolved the problem of ‘subject/object’ distinction for Marxism. But he did nothing of that sort, he just changed the definition of objectivity to exclude objective reality itself. Here, objectivity is just the reified totality of social relations, denied of active subjective responsibility.
>This obviously contradicts Marx’s materialism, for which objectivity does include nature, not just society as some purely transcendental horizon. Without including nature in the definition of material reality, then class-consciousness consists in dissolving all society, in all its objectivity, into a pure subjective self-consciousness. For Lukács, the proletarian class is the first ‘subject-object’ which does exactly this.
<This is a gross perversion of Marxism, and it is easy to see the lineage of the Lukácsian view in the Frankfurt School, the New Left, ‘postmodern academia’ as a whole.
But is Lukácsian Western Marxism really to blame?
>In fact, when Lukács decided to reject Engels, he was just compromising with institutional modern realism. Engels ‘dialectics of nature’ was too ‘metaphysical’ because it saw something ‘human’ in reality. In other words, the opposite of a metaphysical distrust in reality! In actual fact, the distrust in reality is the very basis of bourgeois modernity. It can be thought as the entire premise of the Age of Enlightenment itself!
<In the realm of science: Metaphysical distrust in reality takes the form of distrust in our conventions, intuitions, religious beliefs, and sensibilities about the nature of reality. Reality is a pure OUTSIDE only accessed by cold, indifferent, impersonal inquiry.
>In the realm of politics: Metaphysical distrust in reality takes the form of distrust in traditional sovereign authority, regarding it as unjust, arbitrary, and tyrannical. Sovereigns must be legitimated by some explicitly abstract constitutional or democratic procedure.
<In bourgeois modernity, only what is in the sphere of explicit responsibility of conscious subjects can be ‘trusted.’ Any recognition of humanity in reality itself is no different than a superstition: Reality is arbitrary, meaningless, and malign. Only institutions are Good. The madness of bourgeois capitalism, which alienates mankind from its material being, is the true culprit behind this phenomena, NOT Marxism. All Lukács did was make Marxism compatible with bourgeois institutions. The original problem is the bourgeoisie itself. The Gnostic, occultist, and alchemical origins of the bourgeois enlightenment are abundantly clear. People accuse of Marxism, what is in fact THE FOUNDATION OF LIBERALISM! Marxism is the exact OPPOSITE of this bourgeois conceit of knowledge (gnosis) and formalism.
>In Marxism, the highest aim of knowledge is to give way to reality. This entails a great trust in material being - anything of importance arrived at by knowledge, is already reconciled within material reality itself. The paradox is that this ‘giving way’ is a necessary act of consciousness. Lukács’ response to this paradox revised Marxism itself. But even if Lukács were to be rejected, the problem remains. Furthermore, what is really the problem with Lukács’s revision, anyway? Exploring that reveals the way to a better solution.
<As we have shown, the idea of communism as a pure subjective self-consciousness, is based on the notion that objectivity is just reified social relations. This naturally begs the question of what the content of these social relations consists in, as so far they are only pure form.
>Marxism is historical materialism, and Communism is just the practical application of historical materialism, via the class-conscious (historical-materialism conscious) proletariat, to society itself. But what does that say about the nature of society in the first place? It means society is an indescribable ‘totality’ of individual mental states, opinions, and beliefs, - the objectivity of social relationships, is merely a result of the subjective mind ‘reifying’ segments of the totality and treating them as external realities in themselves. Thus here, society has no real determinate content - it is a pure ‘Kantian Thing-in-Itself,’ a mere totality of individual relations that only asserts its existence negatively, via the reification (‘objectivization’) of its constituent parts. This means that material relations of production are rooted in reified mental states, not material reality. Consciousness of them (plus action) would dissolve them. Material society is then defined by ‘that which subjective consciousness has not yet assumed responsibility for!’
<Having rejected any specific form of being as *necessarily* material, including nature, it is only upon failing to render the Totality fully transparent that consciousness may renunciate its aspiration to dissolve everything in itself. Totality is the Lukácsian sublime. The Totality of individual relations in the form of History, or Society, constitutes a type of absolute objectivity which is not merely a reification - but the free, continuous and holistic content of every possible experience, mental state, and subjectivity. A totality cannot assume self-consciousness, since it cannot be confined to any one self. So that is simply the end of Scientific Socialism: The only thing that can really be known about society, is that nothing at all can be known. This is no more knowledge than Kant’s Thing. Subject-Object distinction reemerges, only now between a subjective self-consciousness (in the form of Party, institutions, etc) rendering transparent and assuming responsibility for all determinations of society and the Totality of relations as the supremely impenetrable object.
>So we are back to square one, and none wiser in answering the following:
Marxism has no reality at all in the West
<Nearly all self-proclaimed Marxists are frauds who haven’t even read Marx, let alone understand him. They use the label Marxism, despite knowing nothing about it, as a pseudo-intellectual obfuscation for their liberal ideology.To begin, what is Marxism?
>Marxism is not a theory of equality. It is not a diagnosis of injustice, nor is it a specific prescription of how to remedy society’s ills. Marxism is a method for acquiring knowledge about the laws governing the historical development of societies. Marxism thus regards itself as a type of science. Most people think of science as something purely descriptive.
<But the reason Marx’s contemporaries called him Prometheus is because he bequeathed a science that did not just describe reality, but participated in its development. This makes Marxism totally contrary to modern science.
>Modern science places knowledge above its object. To know, means to strip something naked to consciousness and turn it into a utility for the knowing subject. He who knows an object, can control, master, and alter an object. But the ‘object’ known by Marxism is none other than human society itself. And the paradox lies in the obvious fact that society is not just an object, but also a subject. Marxists (subjects) are themselves part of the very object they make knowable.
<To complicate matters further, Marx does not claim knowledge of society alone can transform society. Instead, he proves that society is already coming to know and transform itself materially in the form of the then growing proletarian class. Most people think Marx is ‘Promethean’ because he wanted his ideas popularized. But the REAL reason was because he had the courage of declaring the return of knowledge back to being itself, and human beings in particular. He created a science that ceased to be above its object.
>For Marx, the knowledge of historical laws arrived at by consciousness, was being reflected in history itself. Knowledge of humanity does not dominate humanity, but reveals that it was there, and part of it all along. “Communism is the riddle of history solved.”
Why the need for class consciousness?
<This is where people misunderstand Leninism as an attempt to turn politics and state power into a tool for realizing some goal of the mind. In reality, the role of Marxists lies in spreading the ‘good news’ to the despairing proletariat. Class consciousness, the so-called ‘vanguard party,’ and the Communist state is the realization of the proletariat’s faith in itself. Communism is not realized ‘automatically’ without the participation of a Communist party because society is not just an object.
>Neither just a subject either. Communist parties do not create new societies, only guide the existing development of society. This guidance is necessary because politics, Communist or otherwise is itself part of material reality. Without the guidance of proletarian consciousness, the movement propelling society still continues. But it leads to an economic, political, spiritual, moral and overall social crisis. Society eats away at itself as it cannot make sense of the contradictions driving it. The crisis of Western Marxism lies in its inability to overcome the subject/object distinction when it comes to society.
How can society both be a real (material) object, while also given the quality of subjective responsibility?
<Two responses emerge. The first cope of Western Marxism is a type of fatalism, which Lenin calls economism. According to this view, politics is not involved in the revolutionary transformation of society at all, which happens only because of economics, or a spontaneous uprising of the proletariat.
>The second (more relevant) is the opposite extreme. In this view, society must act as a pure subject in the form of institutions (party or otherwise), exterminating every trace of its pre-conscious, and objective material being, recreating all society from scratch.
<But both two sides of Western Marxism are incompatible with Marx’s Promethean gesture of suspending knowledge back to being. In the first, being is upheld entirely independent of knowledge. In the second, knowledge is asserted over and at the expense of being. If society will become communist independently of the engaged subjective partisanship of communists, then all you have is the conceit of some subject-in-the-know passively watching their object fulfill the expectations of subjective knowledge. If communism is just some enlightened consciousness, then what you have are psychotic subjects devoid of any trust that their knowledge is actually based in (non-conscious) reality itself, denouncing the latter as ‘reactionary.’ Knowledge only as ‘subjective self-consciousness.’

Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

The "privacy" ROM connects to Google's gstatic.com for Certificate Transparency logs. While no app data is leaked, Google captures the user’s public IP address and exact request timestamps during these background HTTPS connections.
This enables tracking via cross-correlation: If you open sandboxed apps like X or Instagram, they log your IP. Since Big Tech cooperates and shares telemetry data, Google can match the gstatic connection timestamp with your app activity IP, instantly identifying your GrapheneOS device.

Decentralized imageboard
I'm building a decentralized imageboard on Freenet (aka Hyphanet). Posts go through one of several "moderators" of your choosing, everything is stored in a decentralized fashion.
Why bother:
forced anonymity — there's literally no way to cave and start blocking anonymizers, since the whole thing runs on one
no network effect trap ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect ) — you know the situation: a few massive boards, a bunch of half-dead microboards that go dark every couple months
no mod power trips — a moderator just shares their opinion, and you decide whose opinion to apply, without the pressure of the network effect
Freesite: http://127.0.0.1:8888/freenet:USK@fc5NZ5g6aBhN~aHvcR5QTYWVfsJO747vgY6cC7GZNuY,J~RkZx0JDpEhYwFWWvAA2IBVJCyxkNX9naul6qoKT2Y,AQACAAE/index/-1
How to try it: download and install Freenet — https://www.hyphanet.org/index.html. Then grab (or build) the binary and double-click it — a browser will open with the default board UI, pretty bare-bones. Differences from a normal board: post IDs are very long (they're Freenet keys), and there's a moderator selection feature. If the browser doesn't open on its own: http://127.0.0.1:8891
Heads up: Freenet is PAINFULLY SLOW. Loading and posting take tens of minutes. Everything loads and sends in the background of course, no need to sit staring at a loading screen — it's designed to run in the background while you go about your day, you come back when you feel like it and it's ready to present information immediately.
Posts with images currently go through pre-moderation, so a text-only post will show up to others much faster. This can change down the line; it's a per-moderator setting (and right now I'm the only moderator).
Spam control:
There's optional Argon2 PoW, but it's off for now. Different PoW/captcha options can be added later, the extension points are already there.
About 5k lines of Go+html (no js): ~2k of actual logic, the rest is glue. Builds easily:

Why hasn’t Trump gone after Nicaragua yet?
Trump kidnapped Maduro and is now starving Cuba, why hasn’t he gone after Nicaragua? I hear people speculate that Ortega is a cuck and not a real socialist and probably made a deal to sell out Cuba in exchange for not getting sanctioned. But I think that Trump heard that Ortega would ejaculate all over his step daughter in the 90s and Trump probably thinks that is relatable so he gave him a pass.

somebody called out the site's html for being div-heavy instead of semantic in a comment, and the dev actually fixed it instead of getting defensive. small thing but tells you something.
worth a look if you're tired of platforms that call themselves "free" while quietly profiling you.
found a forum that's just... text. no accounts tied to email, no algorithm, no analytics bloat
was looking into minimal self-hosted alternatives and found texttotalk.org. plaintext only, no images, no markdown, no js tracking. sign up doesn't ask for email, just a username and password (hashed, not stored plain, checked).no algorithm either, board is just sorted newest/top, nothing ranked to keep you scrolling.

and i swear to god, the only thing keeping me from letting me fall apart right now, since my mother decided to stop talking to me because i refused to boymode for her, it's my boyfriend and our future together raising our children in Spain and having them visit their grandparents in México- which hopefully won't go to hell because my brother's gen decide to elect a right winger as president of México to fuck everything up and sell everything to Israel and the US.

>Having observed the social reality that all living things on earth are incessantly engaged in a struggle for survival, that they kill each other to survive, I concluded that if there is an absolute, universal law on earth, it is the reality that the strong eat the weak. This, I believe, is the law and truth of the universe. Now that I have seen the truth about the struggle for survival and the fact that the strong win and the weak lose, I cannot join the ranks of the idealists and adopt an optimistic mode of thinking which dreams of the construction of a society that is without authority and control. As long as all living things do not disappear from the earth, the power relations based on this principle [of the strong crushing the weak] will persist. Because the wielders of power continue to defend their authority in the usual manner and oppress the weak—and because my past experience has been a story of oppression by all sources of authority—I decided to deny the rights of all authority, rebel against them, and stake not only my own life but that of all humanity on this endeavor. ~Kaneko Fumiko

Transexualism cannot be resolved in capitalism (or at least it can't be in the modern day) because there will always be people who cannot access sex change resources such as bottom / top surgery, hormones and for trans women FFS, which are all necessary. Even in the hypothetical most 'accepting' world ever where everyone has their gender respected these necessary things cannot be given to everyone because there will always be colonized people since capitalism requires imperialism. Trans welfare will never be able to be shared to everyone, and today things like FFS remain achievable only to the bourgeois and the highest section of the working class, leaving most trans women to suffer.
Transgenderism is a pysop in order to prevent the movement to resolve the contradiction of sex. It takes away the truly revolutionary demand for sex change / abolition with a phony acceptance, which is really just harmful. Gender is a patriarchal idea. Toxic woke stabs me in the back worse than others do because to them the end goal is me being unable to complete my transition. It is pure bourgeois idealism that must be combatted in order to achieve true revolutionary transexualism. It is even more harmful to non-binary people because only through surgery will others actually perceive them as non-binary. They are trapped by CIA idealists in their biologically sexed bodies.
Revolutionary transexualism understands that now we have the technology to resolve the contradiction of sex, and the only issue is that it is not distributed fairly. We must dismember the bourgeois imperialists and expropriate and extract their body modifications to share with the people. Sacrifice the oppressors on the altar to progress and let us be free as we are splashed by the blood from their still-beating heart. Gender idealism must also be opposed at all times, because it is an obstacle in the way of our emancipation from wicked biology. Only once we have smashed the evil imperialists with the immeasurable power of the working class, the lumpen-proletariat and other allies, and the oppressed people in colonised countries, can beautiful socialist technology finally end our suffering through allowing anyone to be any sex expression they want, or non at all.
Part of this is also the reactionary 'naturism' among leftists. This is a reactionary trend that posits that nature must be worshipped like a god. Fuck that. If nature is a god I would give my life to give him a bruise. Dethrone the god of nature. This thinking says that changing our bodies is not necessary and we should be happy with what we have. NEVER ACCEPT WHAT YOU HAVE! ALWAYS FIGHT FOR A BETTER FUTURE! This idealism is also supportive of the genocide of billions of people in the third world since they don't agree with geo-engineering, which is the only way to prevent climate genocide. STAND AGAINST THE IDEALISM WHICH MURDERS COLONISED PEOPLE IN THE THIRD WORLD! The climate was destroyed by us and it can only be rebuilt by us, there is no god to save us only our own power.
This is the future which we must fight tooth and nail to achieve, not a decrepit bourgeois system where we are perceived by all as our birth sex, but they have to use the correct pronouns. That is unacceptable and it is pathetic that our people were psyopped into thinking that transition is impossible or doesn't matter by bourgeois agents (who always pass and have enough money for surgeries). It is us who do not pass and will never pass who have nothing to lose in this wretched society, and everything to gain through revolution. Sisters, brothers, and all siblings, stride together into the revolutionary technological future! CRUCIFY THE BOURGEOIS SYSTEM AND RESOLVE THE CONTRADICTION OF SEX!
The transexual demand
Transexualism is the capitalist expression of people who want to change their sex. It has only been able to exist in capitalism since it is only now we can change our sex. Before now there have only been "3rd sexes" or genders such as the Hijra. But these are patriarchal constructs and represent pre-modern economic forms. We should defend them when they are under threat from reactionary, patriarchal, or imperialist forces, but they are not what we should aspire towards. Transexualism is bourgeois in the positive way, but like capitalism itself it has become necessary almost since the day it started existing, and now we must move forward.Transexualism cannot be resolved in capitalism (or at least it can't be in the modern day) because there will always be people who cannot access sex change resources such as bottom / top surgery, hormones and for trans women FFS, which are all necessary. Even in the hypothetical most 'accepting' world ever where everyone has their gender respected these necessary things cannot be given to everyone because there will always be colonized people since capitalism requires imperialism.

Should I drop aspirations of being a conservationist? I find myself lucky enough to be able to go back for a second degree and have wanted to get a degree in biology since before I finished my first, entirely unrelated to that field (though much more marketable), degree. Everyone seems to be in love with environmental rape and collapse now and I can't muster much hope in regards to the importance of futilely trying to keep the various floundering ecologies of the world afloat anymore.
I'd resigned myself to the truth of environmental collapse but reading daily about how America has decided to kill another endangered species, actively, entirely without any remorse, has become more than I can handle.
I don't want to be doing shit in an office 'till I die, but I don't know if going back to follow what I'm actually interested and passionate about will yield much fruit, if any at all.

Hoy son las elecciones presidenciales en Colombia. El candidato de la izquierda (Pacto Histórico) encabeza las encuestas de intención de voto en un escenario de primera vuelta.
<Iván Cepeda es senador por el Pacto Histórico, la alianza de izquierda que respaldó la elección del presidente colombiano Gustavo Petro, y su candidato para sucederlo en la presidencia en las elecciones generales de mayo y junio de 2026. Defensor de derechos humanos, Cepeda tiene una extensa trayectoria política que lo llevó, en distintos momentos, a militar en el Partido Comunista, la Unión Patriótica, la Alianza Democrática M-19 —el partido surgido tras la desmovilización en 1990 de la guerrilla del M-19, a la que perteneció Petro— y más tarde en el Polo Democrático, hoy integrado con otras fuerzas en el Pacto Histórico.
<Cepeda es conocido por su papel en diversos procesos de paz con la hoy disuelta guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) y con el Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), una fuerza guerrillera que sigue activa tras varios intentos fallidos de negociación. Su padre, Manuel Cepeda, congresista por la Unión Patriótica —un partido surgido de un proceso de paz con las FARC— fue asesinado en 1994 por paramilitares en el marco de una campaña de exterminio de los dirigentes de ese partido, por la que la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos condenó al Estado colombiano. Tras el asesinato de su padre, Cepeda impulsó el Movimiento Nacional de Víctimas, con el objetivo de lograr justicia para las personas asesinadas por agentes estatales y grupos paramilitares.

From around 125 m (400 ft) above the savannah, Gheysen noticed something resembling a very large moving tree trunk beside a destroyed termite mound. By the time Gheysen was able to adjust his microphone and inform Van Lierde, the helicopter, which was flying at 120 kmph (74 mph) had moved on by around a mile, but Van Lierde turned and flew back to the spot, where the "tree trunk" was found to be a large snake. Van Lierde flew lower and made several passes over the snake,[3] allowing Kindt, the only man on board with a camera, to take a single photograph. Concern regarding the helicopter's fuel level allegedly prevented the helicopter from remaining long enough for a second photograph.[1]
The local Katangans and Kasaians, who called pythons moma, reserved the special name pumina (French: poumina) for such giant specimens. A settler, Michel Vermersch, had reportedly once fled from a pumina around 175 km northwest of Kamina, on the Kamina-Luluabourg Railway.
The immediate size estimate of the four airmen was approximately 14 m (45 ft), with a triangular head 80 cm (2 ft) at its widest point.

According to the account received by Bernard Heuvelmans, the photograph was taken in August 1959, on an undeterminated date, but at mid-day. The photo was taken from a helicopter returning to Kamina with pilot Colonel Remy Van Lierde DFC, Colonel Gheysen, parachutist Major Defebve DSO, and engineer Adjudant Kindt on board. The helicopter had been flying over a lightly-wooded shrub savannah approximately 100 km (60 miles) north north-west of Kamina. The average height of the vegetation was 2 m (6 ft), but gallery forests and thickets of trees were also present.From around 125 m (400 ft) above the savannah, Gheysen noticed something resembling a very large moving tree trunk beside a destroyed termite mound.

First of the bat: I agree with the message with this movie that the governments of yurop ain't doing shit to stop migrant violence. Idgaf about leftoid sensibilities about muh migrants bla bla. If the Warsaw Pact was still around, you wouldn't be seeing this lawlessness and I never understood leftists going bonkers on migrants as if they are not mostly reactionary lumpens that would fight communism on the ground that their tribal deity said sharing is evil or some shit. So you will not get me criticizing this flick for THE MESSAGE (critical drinker voice) but the irony is THE MESSAGE was delivered in a very strange fashion. It's almost as if the movie was not made to be art or agitprop, but as a controversy piece.
The movie is low budget and you can tell most of the money went to Armie Hammer's acting salary. The SFX are alright but clearly AI/Photoshop with some practical SFX in that police shoot out scene where faces of cops explode (literally) from PKM bullets.
You can read the synopsis on wikifedia, it's pretty accurate, I'll just summarize it in my own Sinbadish style.

are you aware of the blatant FUD campaign happening
against PGP?
people are bringing irrelevant and wrong facts up about PGP just to call it insecure
somehow most (if not all) of them shill signal at the same time, some of them even suggesting whatsapp instead of PGP.
signal is a centralized IM app that requires your fucking phone number to register. they have huge aversion against 3rd party appstores and don't want any custom fork / implementation of "open source" signal client. somehow this is much better than PGP encrypted email over an anonymous network.
(taking gnupg as reference)
"it's old therefore it's bad"
it's continuously updated / modernized and uses a separate library for all crypto operations anyway. it even supports PQ crypto
"it's complex and error prone"
the main idea is very simple. you can read RFC4880 all yourself and understand it
"it has shootguns bla bla"
it is literally not possible to do a mistake and publish your private key onto internet without passing several confirmation dialogs and warnings yet people claim this is a serious issue about PGP.
any proper client should (and they do) restrict sending plaintext messages when PGP is selected as encryption method.
"no perfect forward secrecy bla bla"
perfect forward secrecy is implemented for an entirely different usecase and it doesn't even add a meaningful security. private key compromise implies all unencrypted messages resting on your device are compromised too.
"it does so many things bla bla"
this is what makes it good. a single program to manage your keys, sign and encrpyt. nobody would willingly use 500 different small programs to do one task.

STOP USING FIREFOX!
Use Dillo. It only has ~80,000 lines of code. That's smaller than some terminal browsers, even. Firefox and Chromium are like operating systems w/ 10s of millions of lines of code. That's why compiling Firefox on Gentoo is a fucking nightmare. With Dillo, it just takes a few seconds. And minus the proprietary js attack surface since it comes without it because it's a legacy browser with its own engine instead of using Google/Apple like Otter browser or Suckless Surf.

How do we feel about academic elites stealing the music of Woodie Guthrie and turning it into Democratic Party woke intersectional feminist propaganda?
Should we show up at this event and counter it’s message by showing how Guthrie was a working-man first and foremost who hated liberals?

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.
Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.
Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.
As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.
I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected in politics. In fact, the biggest political rallies in recent times are those for pensioner rights, and Japan can be tentatively argued to be a “dictatorship” by the same standards we use to describe Singapore, what with both countries being governed by the same right to centre right party for almost their entire existence, and most liberals regard Singapore as more of a benevolent dictatorship despite having elections, so there’s that.
With that said, I don’t really see any noticeable increase in chud-coded manga and anime, at least not among normie spaces. And of the ones that exist, they’re more of an exception than the norm. In fact, “Psycho-Pass 3” and “20th Century Boys” are the only instances in modern anime and manga in the mainstream market that I remember where the subject of immigration to Japan in modern times has ever been broached without resorting to fantastical allegories like in “Cop Craft”, and all of them treated it neutrally. So I think this concern among leftists is overblown.
But feel free to disagree with me. I don’t think I’m bringing anything new to the table, I just want to be proven wrong.

Did the historical Jesus Christ ever exist?
Good book on Jesus’ historicity, analysing not just every argument on the historical Christ but also giving a holistic assessment on how Christianity likely came to be, with a vigorous reference section. If you don’t want to buy it on Amazon, it’s available at z-library (link not given to avoid piracy charges).Inb4:
>Muh Adam Green
>Muh Bart Ehrman
>Muh consensus
>Muh Christophobia
Yadda yadda, I know who Adam Green is, about the Ehrman talking point, and how this subject can be touchy to both Christcuck and e-crusader secularised midwits here, so I’ll be blunt here:
- Adam Green’s background doesn’t invalidate his broader points on Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus Christ’s existence
- The “consensus” doesn’t mean much since it’s mostly made up of Christians and Christian-sympathisers who engage in confirmation bias and gatekeeping to discourage any critical opinion on the historical Christ theory. Given that Ehrman himself relies on this very unreliable consensus for his book on Jesus’ historicity
- Not believing in Jesus’ existence as a historical figure isn’t anti-Christian as many non-mainstream Christian sects like the early Church-era marcionites and gnostics assert the notion of a mythical non-physical Christ. On the top of that, much of Judaism (and by extension Zionism) rests on the notion of the Old Testament as being 100% true and historically accurate text, whilst Islamic doctrine holds the existence of a historical Christ. So by negating the existence of a historical Christ, and by extension undermining the value of the Old Testament as a historical text, Christianity and Islam and Judaism are effectively undermined
- There’s no evidence for the existence of Christ dating back to when he was canonically alive. Every alleged proof for his existence as a historical figure date back to decades and even centuries after his death.
- There’s no mention of a Jesus Christ being crucified in any surviving Roman documents.
- There’s far and few in-between evidence attesting to Jesus’ existence beyond the gospels, which are themselves unreliable and of dubious historicity as pointed out by Russell Gmirkin and Robert M Price.
- Among the non-Christian sources, none of them are contemporary to the canonical Christ’s lifetime (i.e., the 1st century) despite Jewish concerns at the time being well-documented. And of the ones that exist, most either repeat earlier hearsays about Christ without actually investigating them (e.g., Tacitus and Pliny the younger), ambiguous and subject to heavy debates (e.g., Lucian and Suetonius) or outright forgeries whose veracity rests on Christian interpolation (e..g., Josephus’ passage). But the thing is, all of them either never tried to prove the hearsays in 1st century AD Judea, or were born after Christ’s canonical death (which for the record, was determined centuries after his death, with early Christians themselves disagreeing on when he was born and died), so they aren’t even contemporary sources at all, let alone independent ones, especially as by the time Tacitus and Josephus wrote about Christ he was already dead by then + the gospels were already spreading.
- There are no Roman records that mention Jesus. Not only all that, but, there are no Christian eye-witnesses of Jesus. All of the Gospels are anonymous and written by friends-of-friends, and none are written in the first person; also, Paul (who authored 13 of the 27 books of the NT) never met Jesus, except in a vision. They're also written in very competent Greek (the language of later converts), rather than in Hebrew (the language of the original converts, excepting Paul).
- Going back to the gospels, they are just fictional tales derived from the Old Testament authored by many people throughout history. The Dead Sea Scrolls and other manuscripts don’t necessarily prove the historicity of the gospels nor that there was just one author, at best it only proves that said tales were already in wide circulation, especially as there’s no evidence of a complete Bible contemporary to Christ’s lifetime. Unless you believe in the resurrection and the miracles and the existence of the biblical floods and the GIGANTIC kingdoms of Israel and that of King Solomon, then the gospels themselves become unreliable as proofs for Christ’s existence as a historical figure.
Hopefully this thread won’t devolve into a flame war, I hope.

The ecchi genre should be more than it is
Anime is pretty much the only place today where you can make high-budget, high-production art where sex is a major focus, without becoming outright pornography. There's a lot you could do with that. There should be more erotic thrillers, or gritty dramas about the psychology of sex, or trippy surreal erotica, and really just anything more interesting than mid action with jiggly boobs or comedies that mostly come down to "oh noes I accidentally groped her boob!" I'm not saying there isn't anything that stands out, every few years something does, the Fujiko Mine anime is a recent example of something that felt pretty fresh, but for all the money and attention that gets poured into this genre, it feels like the ambition is almost null.

The church has 4 key pillars, abortion, cannibalism, sodomy, and suicide, all intended to deal with the immense biowaste that we represent.

Fuck our species.
In 1992 the Church of Euthanasia started with a simple goal, to end humanity. Its founders, Chris Korda and Robert Kimberk were staunch environmentalists and nihilists who expressed their view of the world in art and protest movements. The group came under heavy scrutiny in the early 2000s for posting a montage of the 9/11 attacks with the title “I like to watch”. They also faced legal trouble when a 52 year old woman committed suicide using instructions they posted on their website.The church has 4 key pillars, abortion, cannibalism, sodomy, and suicide, all intended to deal with the immense biowaste that we represent.
