What are the top sources and readings for learning military strategy, logistics, and tactics?

What are the best sources or works for learning military strategy, logistics, and tactics? The inquiry concerns resources that begin with fundamentals and present core concepts clearly, while steering clear of dense academic prose or excessive fluff. Any websites, video series, online courses, forums, or lectures? Preference is for sources that address strategy, logistics, and tactics together rather than treating them in isolation.

Wallpapers

Post wallpapers. Images, youtube playlists, gifs, html pages. Today I share an ancient one that I resurrected by taking a ported version of the wallpaper swf from the HAL project and running it with ruffle and the KDE Wallpaper Engine plugin. You can find the new version (e.g. video, not flash) on youtube. Demo quality not representative.

  1. I packaged all files together for convenience, but if you do not trust, then just take the project json, html, and swfs and download the selfhosted ruffle js and wasm from them directly.
  2. You can use this with linux-wallpaperengine or KDE wallpaper engine plugin or wallpaper engine on windows. In the near future you can use it with waywallen.

GamerGate: A retrospective

Not sure if this is the right place, but since this is the gaming tab, I say why not?

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.

But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.

It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…

This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/

Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.

Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.

Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code. It’s one thing to maintain decorum in conversations and being opposed to extremism, but you won’t get far if you try to overpolice on every little convo your members have.

What’s the takeaway from me then? The left rejecting sex-positivity and embracing ageism were its two biggest mistakes that cost them an entire generation.

P.S.: It’s one thing to oppose sexual hierarchies that devalue humans, it’s another to devalue the body and the Eros in and of themselves. The left shouldn’t necessarily embrace prostitution, but it also shouldn’t embrace sex-negativity either. I would personally suggest reviving the free sex movement because, if sex does become widely available under a secular sex positive society, then obviously prostitutes and porn studios and pimps would be out of business. That’s why Marx often noted how traditionalist marital moralism coexisted with prostitution, with or without its prohibition. But I’m open for other suggestions.

Again, can’t say if it’s said already or not, but I do think those points need to be hammered home as it seems that the left prior to the Gaza genocide was struggling to remain relevant, especially as Big tech right figures like Musk and Thiel were pumping a shit ton of dollars to aid the remnants of the alt-right to carve their mockingbird network out of it; their work has paid off in the form of the current unholy MAGA and alt-right and neocon nexus that I’d like to call “white neoconservatism with Enoch Powell characteristics”, with Australia’s and Canada’s brightest minds Drew Pavlou and Captive_Dreamer starting out differently only to end up being rabid racist neocons.

So yh: Sex-negativity and Ageism are bad things, folks.

Which tendencies of ML (there has to be at least one) uphold the pre-Dimitrov, R. Palme Dutt -esque, 1920s COMINTERN (multiple congresses) consensus on the United Front tactic, as opposed to the Popular Front (in my analysis) error?

After finally reading some of Hoxha's works I was greatly disappointed to find that he doesn't even have the integrity to acknowledge Stalin's flip flop from completely contradictory tactics, pretending like the Popular Front is the only thing there ever was and is correct without no need to explain further.

the Chinese revolution being the result of a mix of directives, and ending up in a partially synthesized United + Popular Front, at least leads to some interesting (but ultimately non-conclusive imo) discourse in some Maoist circles on the topic.

Then there's the funny thing about people thinking Bordigist leftcoms are odd for supporting the United Front from Below, or that it's an ultraleft tactic entirely. Meanwhile the fact is that it's the instance where leftcoms get as Leninist, sharing position with Stalin-era CPSU, as they can get.

Trump-Epstein Lake Michigan baby

Back in December some incompetent redactions revealed that the FBI received a tip from an Epstein survivor that revealed that in 1984, when she was only 13; Trump witnesses her uncle fucking kill her daughter and dump her body into Lake Michigan. That is fucking insane but do you believe it? There is no doubt that Trump is a pedophile who hung out with Epstein and assaulted little girls but do you think that this specific crime happened? Because I think it might have but I am split on weather or not Trump was there since this is the earliest meeting between Trump and Epstein documented since the earliest confirmed date between them was 1987 and this happened in 1984. This obviously needs to be investigated but of course that is not going to happen so until then we don’t have much details, like for we don’t know the method of which the baby was killed although I don’t want to know, we don’t know know who else was there, we don’t knows the exact date other than some time from between May and September of 1984, and we don’t know the exact location of the where the baby was killed and dumped other than the fact that the yacht was from Mona Lake in Michigan. I fell down a whole rabbit hole about this and I learned that many say that this allegation is false because Trump and Epstein had no ties to Lake Michigan at the time, Trump owned a casino-boat in Lake Michigan until 2005 but he never acquired it until 12 years after this murder. But Just because Trump and Epstein didn’t have any ties doesn’t mean the case is closed because the Uncle of the Victim probably owned the Yacht and had invited Trump and Epstein to party there while they rape kids and kill a damn baby. So if any of you guys know anyone who owned a yacht in Mona Lake in 1984 then that might be the culprit, however we also wouldn’t want to expose the victim. I swear if there is ever a revolution this needs to be investigated so we can find where this happened and dig up the underwater baby-skeleton so it can have a proper burial, it doesn’t deserve to have the same fate as Bin Laden.

France sends middle finger to Microslop

>France has incorporated Linux desktops into its national digital-sovereignty strategy. DINUM, France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate, announced a transition from Windows to Linux workstations.

>According to an official government press release, this change is part of a broader initiative to reduce reliance on non-European digital technologies (source, in French).


>The government’s statement is notably direct. The section on workstation evolution confirms that DINUM will replace Windows with Linux systems. The press release also requires each ministry, including public operators, to develop a plan by autumn 2026 addressing desktop systems, collaboration tools, antivirus software, AI, databases, virtualization, and network equipment.


>This initiative extends beyond a standard desktop migration. France positions Linux adoption as part of a broader policy focused on sovereignty, interoperability, and reducing dependence on foreign vendors. As the announcement comes directly from DINUM, which oversees digital strategy across ministries, it holds greater significance than a local pilot or isolated administrative project.


>And as you can see, this is a big deal. It is not a leak, rumor, or unofficial plan. It is a formal declaration from one of Europe’s largest governments, explicitly designating Linux as the replacement for Windows workstations as part of a broader interministerial strategy.


>The extent of the transition will depend on ministry-level plans due later this year, but France has clearly made Linux desktops a key component of its national digital-sovereignty agenda. For now, there are no specific details about which distributions will be used, as that decision will apparently come a bit later.

"Tomboy" has been robbed of its meaning.

When I was a wee lad I read Katawa Shoujo and ended up really liking Emi. She hit all the right spots for me personality wise. I finished her route with the impression that she was supposed to be the token tomboy among the main girls. To my astonishment, when I went on the Katawa Shoujo forum I found out that other people did not consider her a tomboy. How? She's the athletic, bold, energetic girl who likes to play rough. Did I not just describe a tomboy? Is it because she doesn't "look" like a tomboy? Ridiculous. It was as if at some point I had been transported to bizarro world where the word tomboy had been hijacked by pathetic fetishists who now tied the word tomboy to physical appearance.

As the years went by I found myself highly attracted to 2D girls with varying types of what are culturally seen as masculine qualities. Like the aforementioned athletic, bold, energetic, likes to play rough but also aggressive, assertive, emotionally reserved, brash, vulgar, messy, short-tempered, rhetorical, analytical, philosophical, gluttonous, as lustful as a man and so on. In other words, women who behave like the worst and best of male cultural stereotypes. Do they "look" like tomboys? Some do. But even then I have nothing in common with the pathetic fetishists, the most egregious and possibly loudest of which circlejerk over 2D girls who only "look" like tomboys and otherwise do not deviate much from the assumed average girl who on top of that unironically fantasize about turning said "tomboy" into a traditional 1950s cooking, breeding and raising servant (read: wife).

Don't believe me? Give a definition for the word tomboy. Then objectively think of all the fictional girls who come to your mind that fit that definition. How many have you never thought of as tomboys?

It's not just the word tomboy that is being systematically destroyed by pathetic fetishists. The word gyaru did not simply refer to physical appearance alone, but a whole subculture. To be a gyaru it's not enough to dress the part, you also have to act the part else you're a poser right? That's how subcultures work. Gals are stereotypically vain, airheaded, trendy, extroverted, socially intelligent, gold diggers, Americaboos and so on. Today? Shy gyaru. Awkward gyaru. Recluse gyaru. Tomboy gyaru. Normal girl gyaru. Otaku gyaru. Of course a character turning out to be different from expectation is funny on the occasion, but when every gyaru is effectively a poser gyaru that's when you start getting mad. Hell, I've seen people start calling characters "gyaru" for simply having a shallow physical resemblance to gals (makeup, dark skin, blonde or pink hair, etc.) which is the very height of this fetish madness.

As the capitalist world crumbles, as escapism rapidly turns into fetishism, as words become nothing more than visual pornographic descriptors, voices like mine will remain to scream and shout at the dying light.

Dear trans "allies"

I put "allies" in quotation marks because "ally" can range from someone who actually empathizes with us, to those whose sympathy rests on being in one political camp instead of the other and who, in fact, makes the situation worse, in ways that should be obvious to them (IE Agent Kochinski, QueerKidsStuff, the blyat that made the genderbreadman/GenderUnicorn that was everywhere when I was in middle school)

As much as it is more or less trve, stop saying "Trans women have female brains w/ male bodies" or anything of the sort.

It is far more accurate to specify that we have qualitatively female brains whereas our brains are more androgynous or like neither sex on a quantitative level; the former is less dependent on receiving HRT as well.
To do otherwise is extremely misleading, and will turn people off from the movement.

More broadly speaking, it is better to stop fighting/advocating for trans people specifically than it is to risk more bad activism or science miscommunication making our reputation worse; evidently, visibility towards trans people specifically is generally a bad thing, as everyone, by default, will see us as sub-human and incompatible with life, and the burden is on us to prove otherwise. I'm kinda preaching to the choir here, but it needs to be relayed that identity still has to related to broader material, political, and social phenomenon (IE extraction, climate change, AI, the legacy of imperialism) which most people have a shared experience with, and I hope this site continues this tradition, and that it spills over into everywhere else.

The point of being trans is that it is an anti-identity, and that you necessarily have both male and female responsibilities, and let's keep it that way.

Could the universe evolve into a simulation of itself?

About 3 minutes of reading

Modern physics has quietly replaced the idea of particles as tiny, self-contained objects with something more subtle. In quantum field theory, what we call a “particle” is better understood as a localized excitation of an underlying field. Electrons, photons, and other fundamental constituents are not independent bits of matter moving through empty space, but patterned disturbances in continuous structures that fill the universe. What appears as an object is, at a deeper level, a stable, measurable ripple in a more fundamental substrate.
This shift in perspective has interesting consequences when we think about how we model reality. In most simulations and computational systems, we represent the world as a collection of discrete entities: objects with properties that interact according to rules. This works because it is efficient. Treating a planet, a person, or a car as a single bounded unit dramatically reduces the computational burden. But this convenience is a kind of compression, a way of ignoring fine-grained structure in favor of usable approximations. When greater fidelity is required, models begin to look less like collections of objects and more like interacting fields or continuous systems, echoing the structure of modern physics itself.

From this follows a deeper limitation: any simulation of a system is constrained by the resources available to compute it. A perfectly complete simulation of reality would, in principle, require as much information-processing capacity as reality itself. Every practical model is therefore an incomplete representation, not because of poor design, but because of physical limits on computation, energy, and time. As computational capacity grows, so too does our ability to represent more complex systems, and large-scale human civilization can be seen in part as an expansion of this capability. Through technology, coordination, and infrastructure, we increasingly shape the world into systems that are more predictable, structured, and computationally tractable.

If this trajectory is extended far enough, it leads to a speculative but logically coherent possibility. On the Kardashev scale, advanced civilizations are categorized by their ability to harness energy at planetary, stellar, or galactic scales. In a future where civilizations reach extremely high levels of development and possibly merge across cosmic distances, their computational capacity could grow to encompass a significant fraction of the universe itself. At that point, the distinction between “the universe” and a “simulation of the universe” becomes less clear. A system capable of modeling reality with near-total fidelity would not be running a simplified representation inside the universe, it would be using the universe’s own physical processes as its computational substrate.

In such a scenario, reality could be understood as a self-referential process: the universe effectively evolving towards a state where a larger and larger percentage of itself is dedicated to simulating aspects of itself through its own dynamics. The boundary between model and modeled would blur, since both would be made of the same underlying physical stuff. However, even in this extreme case, a fundamental tension remains. Any system attempting to fully represent itself may encounter limits of self-reference, compression, or incompleteness.

/meg/ – Meatbags Entering General

>LIE YOUR ASS OFF ABOUT MEDICAL HISTORY.
<77% of fighting-age Americans are too fat or retarded to serve. The Pentagon needs 150K fresh meat shields annually.

>CRIMINAL HISTORY

<The Army lets in 15,000 felons — wife-beaters, rapists, all welcome


>THE 22 CLUB

<The "22 a day" veteran suicide statistic was the sanitized number. A 2021 study from America's Warrior Partnership and the University of Alabama put the real figure at 44 veterans a day. Over 16,000 dead veterans per year by their own hand. The military produces more American casualties at home than any foreign enemy could dream of. That's not a tragedy. That's a production quota.

>SEXUAL TRAUMA

<The VA's own official screening data shows 1 in 3 female veterans and 1 in 50 male veterans report Military Sexual Trauma (MST). That's just the fraction who can stomach checking a box. A 2018 DoD study found only 1 in 3 victims report the assault whatsoever — the other two know the math. The perpetrator faces a 93% chance of absolutely zero consequences. Zero. A lightning strike is more likely than a rapist seeing a court-martial. The brotherhood is a predator sanctuary with a flag on it.

>THE PENSION FIASCO:

<Over 50% of retiring service members leave with NO pension whatsoever thanks to the blended retirement system opt-in engineered to save the Pentagon billions. Two decades of body destruction, and the send-off is a TSP account a Best Buy employee could've built without the IEDs.

>BANKRUPTCY AND HOMELESSNESS:

<Military service is such a reliable pipeline to financial collapse that of roughly 580,000 homeless Americans on any given night, an estimated 40,000 are veterans. Lifetime risk of homelessness for post-9/11 vets: nearly 5%. More homeless vets sleep under overpasses within a five-mile radius of any base gate than generals fired for war crimes within the Beltway.

>THE DIVORCE RACKET

<First-term enlisted troops divorce at a 50–65% clip. Every deployment spikes the rate. Every PCS (Permanent Change of Station) move strangles a spouse's career. Every 14-hour "duty day" teaches the family to function without the service member. The result: an empty house, a drained bank account, and a chain of command that calls the wreckage a "personal readiness issue." Jodie isn't a myth; Jodie is a statistical inevitability engineered into the optempo.

>THE DISABILITY BACKLOG MAUSOLEUM

<Over 400,000 veterans currently have pending disability claims rotting at the VA. Average appeal wait: measured in years , not months. The official strategy is bureaucratic delay until the veteran gives up or dies. Both outcomes save money. The system works as designed.

>FORT JACKSON ARMY BASIC TRAINING GUIDE

<A comprehensive manual for destroying the bodies of teenagers who played JV football for $2,400 a month before taxes. "Combat training" on sand that's 30% pulverized fiberglass from old barracks. Knees crunching like gravel by age 24. Over 50% of soldiers leave service with at least one documented musculoskeletal injury considered "permanently aggravated" — which the VA then spends a decade insisting was the soldier's fault for existing.

>SPECIAL FORCES "FITNESS" GUIDE — THE BODY DESTRUCTION BLUEPRINT

<Selection attrition: 60–70%. Most candidates wreck their bodies for a shot at a unit that consumes them and spits out "retired operators" for podcasts nobody listens to. The guide fetishizes rucking, swimming, and calisthenics while ignoring the actual SOF training regimen: divorce filings, functional alcoholism, and TBIs the DoD refuses to diagnose because "concussion" costs less than "traumatic brain injury." Studies estimate 15–20% of combat-deployed troops show mild TBI symptoms. The officially documented rate is a fraction.

>NAVY ENLISTED NUKE — THE SHINY SCAM

<"Free training worth six figures." Atomic Veterans and Depleted Uranium follow-up studies confirm life expectancy is statistically shorter than civilian peers. Specific cancer rates among nuclear Navy vets who handled the fuel are *conveniently* under-documented. Six years in a steel tube absorbing low-dose radiation and toxic welding fumes. Civilian counterparts at Entergy or Exelon get union wages, OSHA protections, and don't need permission to grow a beard. The nuke gets a clearance and a tumor with no paper trail connecting the two.

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?

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Games the chuds tricked you into buying

With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

/PROLE VENT/

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
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.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Romance & Love thread

Figured I made a thread to share our romantic experiences – or lack of thereof, – opinions, wishes and advice. That is part of the whole LGBT experience besides the sex and gender.

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.

The Holy Bible

What's the leftypol take on this book? I'm not trolling - it's existence has haunted my life. I was raised catholic… Christianity has both ruined & saved my life and my opinions on it have only gotten more complex.

Some of the greatest art of all time has been religiously motivated. But the question of Christianity specifically is a big one. On one hand all manner of brown people are more sincerely christian than a lot of white people have ever been. It might be the one thing saving Africa right now!

But on the other hand The first Roman Empire & Greek empire were polytheistic & they might have achieved a civilizational peak that surpasses the situation we live in right now. Christianity is very homophobic & a huge portion of Europe/UK demographics are atheist & seem to be some of the happiest nations on earth. Christianity might even be the reason that the Roman Empire fell & is responsible for a lot of really bad imperialism & colonialism.

Portable air compressor + projectile launch mechanism

Portable air compressor + projectile launch mechanism would create a weapon that doesn't need bullets / gunpowder or even steel casings but could function just by utilizing the environment (rocks, small solids) and fire them like a pistol would.
