Symbols

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the mainstream symbols of transgender identity?
The flag has colors that look too childish and it doesn’t make sense. If you go by the official meaning of the colors, then the flag should actually be a tricolor with white in the middle. I’m sorry, but I couldn't find an apolitical variant With the current flag, it feels like if you want to become enby while being AMAB, you’d first have to become MtF and then enby.
The symbol ⚧️ has no historical context. It’s not even a planetary symbol like Mars ♂ and Venus ♀. I’ve heard that the Mercury symbol ☿ used to represent hermaphrodites/androgynes. I don’t like it either, but it’s clearly closer to us and actually has historical context.

How do I get over my hatred of masculine men? All throughout my school years I was relentlessly bullied by jocks and such because I wasnt into typical masculine things and because i was too emotional. Ive felt extreme resentment towards masculinity ever since.

The only men im able to be attracted too are other feminine boys like myself, aswell as older men. Meanwhile it seems like the vast majority of gays feel attraction almost exclusively to hyper-masculine men, and talk about their attraction like being attracted to masculinity is an inherent part of being gay. It has made me feel so isolated and made me feel invalidated in my sexuality.

Part of me feels like masculinity is inherently evil, I feel like it encourages meanness, arrogance, and cruelty by its design. Plus, seeing masculine guys constantly get praised while every other type of male never gets anywhere near as much love, it just makes me even angrier. My resentment is so deep-seated at this point that im not fully sure if I can even change it.

resolutely fight against blanchardism

blanchardism should be formally and explicitly banned from this board
it is total pseudoscientific drivel that hurts trans people, especially trans women.
We have a site-wide mandate against wojaks and pepes, but not against this bullshit?

blanchardism fails to meet even the bourgeois scientific standards of validity, let alone the scrutiny of dialectical-materialist analysis
it's a crackpot theory concocted by an ameriKKKan Klanadian cishet boomer moid working in the aKKKademic mediKKKal SSience establishment.

All blanchardist lingo should result in an immediate ban lasting 3 to 7 days, with repeat offenders being permabanned.

Rust

What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.
On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.

TRVTHNVKE

Non-binary and other invented genders aren't truly gender identities. If you look at what they post, you'll realize they're primarily experiencing a coming-of-age complex, wanting to return to their pre-pubescent, gender-neutral childhood.
But this isn't gender dysphoria, and non-binary people often don't take any hormones and, after a couple of years, become normal adults.
Yet, they often speak on behalf of the LGBT community, and many liberals support this, even though, in reality, they're cisgender heterosexuals with youthful maximalism and some personality disorders.

40ks writing has deteriorated a lot

40k reads like a superhero comic disguised as a military drama.

Most of the books and official animated media focus more on spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype than on believability (not realism, believability and consistency) and immersion at the cost of tonal consistency and the depth of many of its characters. This series has many issues with scaling and tension when a new world/empire threat ending pops up each edition while the imperium is written to feel nearly always reactive and in a vegetative state. The imperium was never good, but never written to be so laughably incompetent that major galaxy ending crises could casually manifest without any pushback. Remember when the imperial guard was so strong it had to be nerfed in lore? Yeah I miss when the scaling of the series wasn’t 100% catered to the astartes and the times when the authors tried to write the guard and planetary defence forces as actually useful for protecting humanity…

>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 console owner, plus another two million people, to purchase a copy.


>Now, fast forward to 2025. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered sold nine million copies according to the parent company, Bethesda Studios. Many of these units were sold online without the company having to pay for manufacturing and distributing a physical game disc. Despite this and the fact that it opened up to universal praise from critics and players, the studio who did the bulk of development is being hit with mass layoffs.


>Back in 1983, Atari lost money on Pac-Man and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial partly because, in that era, developers were financially responsible for buying back unsold games from retailers. But that wasn’t enough to crash the industry – the problem wasn’t with retailers or gamers, but with the executives. In 1982, Atari’s parent company Warner Communications projected that revenues would only increase fifteen percent, down from fifty percent earlier in the year. This prompted a panic among investors, who sold off their stocks and withdrew investment money.


>Video games are capital intensive and require a skilled workforce to produce, with the average game developer needing a bachelor’s degree in computer science or software engineering. Many developers experience what’s called “crunch,” a time when mismanagement by corporate executives causes workers to go through mandatory 60-hour to 80-hour work weeks, often without overtime pay or sick days. According to Jason Schrier in the New York Times, at least half of industry employees have gone through crunch and, as a result, have experienced serious physical and mental health problems such as ulcers, memory loss, severe anxiety and PTSD.


>When we are children, we love playing games in which we are super spies, Italian plumbers or magic heroes on a quest. As children we’re also taught that capitalism is about being successful and making money.


>Gaming journalist Stephanie Sterling once said, “Games are not too expensive to make – executives are too expensive to pay.” The people who make all the money in the games industry don’t do any of the actual programming, writing or art behind the games. They assume none of the risk and their whims and projections are based off of nothing but gut feelings that can destroy the lives of thousands.


>The lie of capitalism, which the video games industry lays bare, is that it’s not enough to be successful. Even if you make money, you and your job will be destroyed because investors will forever expect astronomical profits, and mass layoffs are the only way to give the illusion of eternal growth.


>E.T. didn’t kill Atari – capitalism did.

Call me woke, but I do believe XXXtensioncord’s popularity is what inadvertently lead to the rise in Gen Z conservatism.

X was frequently lambasted for being a wifebeater, misogynist, homophobe, New Age woo believer, social conservative (he spoke out against anti-racist activists), and pretentious asshole. The mainstream media didn’t want to touch him because he was too controversial. Yet, the more he was “cancelled” and despised for all his ills, the more it added to his allure among zoomers. X’s image was that of a deeply disturbed troubled genius whose pain and anger lead him to violence and nihilism. He was cold and cruel but that’s exactly what made him so appealing as a rapper to begin with.

This, I believe, was the gateway drug that turned a lot of zoomers (in particular, zoomer men) into far-right conservatives and fascists. All those zoomers who were listening to X back in 2017-18 while in middle school or high school voted for Trump in last year’s election. They are the same people who listen to Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and Jordan Peterson. It’s identical to how all the Gen X nonconformists who idolizes Kurt Cobain went on to become a Big Tech innovators or how millennials who spent their teen years listening to emo rock ended up becoming SJWs (since the essence of emo music is trauma and mental illness/neurodivergence). It’s all because X was cancelled time and time again before he was clout martyred, then smeared over and over again after death. Zoomers who loves him saw that and began internalizing X’s persona as well as resentment towards a morally-obsessive cancel culture.

It makes perfect sense once you think about it.

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.

What am I supposed to make of it? Jesus was surely a good man, no? The word of god has saved homeless, sick, and morally corrupt. Where does the justification to do evil come from when people read this?

I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published.

Conspiracy theories

Which ones do you believe in?
Conspiracy theories are so interesting. I love hearing about them, especially if it's weird stuff.
However I dislike how the term conspiracy theory is used to discredit people sometimes. Something that used to be called a conspiracy theory is that companies and government organizations collect as much data as possible about everyone.

I also believe that powerful groups have a lot of control over things like the other anons mentioned.

>Music played on the radio and as it's sold is played at 'dead' frequencies, and the melodies are simple and uninspiring. Buildings are becoming uglier, making for less spiritually enriching surroundings, and creating less pride in the nation. Our food and water has become more unnatural, and our devices are made to hook us and detach us from reality, from spiritual saturation. The media is deliberately uninspiring and creates a sense of doom and dishonesty, and division, and humans are being encouraged into engaging in hedonism to avoid forming long term relationships, and distracting from the spirit with the flesh. Which leaves you empty.

The chimera ant arc was some hyped up trash

Togashi might aswell have given enough on coherent nen scaling with post rose meruem and adult gon. The nen abilities were the worst addition to the system since togashi never clarified actual rules to them so we got people pulling stuff like phasing through objects or turning into vehicles of all things. Then there’s the moronic decision to make the chimera ants sympathetic by giving them arbitrary arcs when the dudes were trying to kill five million people for no reason—but hey this went on for so long in the arc I guess the audience was supposed to accept that the ants were partially human. Togashi could’ve done so much with the dark continent and ngl but he just doesn’t. Personally I don’t care for the blood and gore—this manga was always pretty violent. What did stand out was how badly kite was handled. It’s like how oda just killed off ace so quickly after his introduction despite him looking up to be a really big contributor to the cast. Also I hate how leorio and kurapika were just entirely sidelined for three straight arcs in a row—mind you, the chimera ant arc alone is 116 chapters long.

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.

Beginner's guide to firearms and other equipment

This guide will be purely talking about equipment. There are many other resources for training and organizing. I will leave out anything that requires further knowledge, this guide is meant to be accessible NOT in depth. This guide is meant to be shared to people who do not own a gun or are otherwise ignorant. If you have any suggestions or corrections I will edit it. Once the final product is complete I will turn it into a pdf and a simple image guide to be shared. This is a collaborative project so if you think something I said is stupid, let me know.

You need a semi-auto rifle, specifically an ar15.
They're accurate, lightweight, high capacity, and can shoot quickly.
An ar15 is recommended due to their customization and versatility. Parts and ammo for an ar are also very easy to get (at least in the US). The 556 round has proven time and time again to be effective. Sure an ak might look cooler but they are often more expensive and not as reliable as an ar. This guide will be US centric so a lot of the advice maybe won't apply to you if you live elsewhere.

Ar15 Basic Guide:
You can save money by getting a separate lower and upper. They're easy to put together. The upper matters a lot, the lower much less so. Oftentimes complete ars will have an overpriced lower so buying just the upper and the lower separate can save you quite a bit.

Handguard style: I always recommend M-Lok. It's lighter and better than keymod and allows easy attachments. I honestly don't see any reason to choose anything else unless if you just don't like the feeling of m-lok for whatever reason in which case you can research alternatives.

Length: The length you'll likely end up using is 16", this is as short as you get without dealing with any annoying laws. For whatever reason anything below this is much more of a hassle to get. 16 is a fine length anyway. A 20" will shoot the round faster and a bit further, but the military decided to move away from it in favor of a shorter length. I don't think the extra speed makes enough of a difference to justify the extra length. As for going shorter the rifle will get less accurate but for close quarters combat (such as inside buildings) this is preferred. Specifically an 11.5" is a great option. Remember though the military used 20" barrels inside for years. If they can do it so can you.
Tldr: Buy a 16"

Brands: Now this part depends heavily on your budget. If you're well off I would recommend just buying a complete Daniel Defense ddm4v7, it's high end and out of the box simply works. (Around $2k) The next runner up is a BCM upper and an aero M4E1 lower. This is still pricey but cheaper than the ddm4v7 and has 99% of the performance. You can also get a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport III for around $700. There are many other brands but these are just to give you an idea of what's out there. There's also PSA guns for under $500 but honestly you're betting on this thing to protect your life, you may as well spend the extra money.
I got to go to work so I'll continue this a bit later. I'm going to write up parts about Pistols, Holsters, Plate Carriers/Armor, boots, Gloves, magazines, optics, etc.

Satisfied every morning knowing wage cucks have to get up and work

Despite my life being boring and bland, one of the most satisfying experiences every morning is going back to bed knowing wage cucks have to get up, drive their cars or take the bus/train, and work 8+ hours for a mere 400 shekels a day. This feeling is increased by 100x on a monday, which is the worst for wage cucks.

What is the coziest job? I love the idea of being a fisherman. Can you imagine being a Scandinavian fisherman? Must be awesome.

I fantasize a lot about being a hard-bodied young man sailing across the world, exploring all of Europe, all the while serving my nation by being the best Fisherman in all the land. Hopefully I will reincarnate into something like that. Unfortunately I'm a lazy-eyed, glasses-wearing, wimpy little freak.

I quite enjoy kink and queer erotica but I don't think it's inherently revolutionary or anything. I do really like the weird fucked up kinky horror shit and I think there are quite a few gems but there's still a lot of trash. I think in general the media reflects broader cultural biases more than anything else.

Esoteric anarchist texts and vids

Here are some esoteric anarchist texts and vids!

Basically we combine the political philosophy of anarchism with ancient greek daimons/spirits/deities and internet tulpas with occult practices from Gnosticism. Of course this is only my own version of esoteric anarchism, there are countless variations of other types of esoteric anarchism.

Feel free to contribute esoteric anarchist texts and vids or media in general of your own making or from someone else all are welcome!

Improvised explosives and weapons

Literature and others sources for reading on the history, manufacture, and use of improvised weapons. The TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook is usually recommended as the most comprehensive and practical but was curious about other sources people have read.

I've also read Fighting In The Streets, a few groups communiques e.g. BOAK, and some history of the IRA, especially their mortar campaign.

I've also seen a few guides for police bomb technicians and Hollywood special effects teams.

WEBCOMICS

Thread for talking about webcomics. Share your favs, discuss latest updates.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)
https://www.valsalia.com/
Pretty interesting world building.

Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.

On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.

For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

/Jung/

Hes the bane of NPCs and the establishment. He single handledly kept the value of mythology, supernatural and the paranormal alive during the peak years of modernism and post modernism. Academics, modern Europeans, and experts have been trying to destroy him ever since.

But the establishment is in decline. They have to watch as all their worthless ideas (like new-atheism, and moral relativism) all fall into the waste bin of history while Jungs ideas get stronger and stronger.

Jung's major beliefs is that a primary goal of every human is/ought to be the process of individuation (the processing of becoming a self)–which he wrote on the backdrop of rising collectivistic pressures via shifting global geopolitics. For Jung, there is a distinction between ego and self, where ego is a narrow band of consciousness that exists primarily in a space of tension between unconscious factors (which includes shadow) and social presentation (persona).

He further believed that people share a collective unconscious, which is that we inherit cultural motifs and symbols that then get continuously represented across different cultures and time; however, they manifest in a way relative to the culture of the time. So, 'Hero' may be an archetype, meaning stories involving heroes transcend cultures and time, but 'Batman' is a specific manifestation that emerged in American culture in the past century.

One archetype then is the 'shadow', which represents unconscious elements that are in conflict with our ego ideal (how we think we should behave or be–especially in front of others). These can include unfulfilled desires, fears, perceived weaknesses, shame-inducing idiosyncrasies, etc. The idea is that the 'self' in the Jungian conceptualization involves actively seeking these archetypes out via either psychological analysis or a process Jung calls Active Imagination. In either case, the general idea is to actively confront these aspects of our unconscious and integrate the awareness–and the process by which the awareness was obtained, into our conscious understanding of self.

Jung's ideas overlap with the likes of Jacques Vallee in terms of the intersection of psychological concepts and the mystical. Myth and folklore were of prominent sources of information in Jung's formation of his ideas; however, there is an impact of poor translation and creative liberties taken in sources Jung used unwittingly.

Any Jungian insights are welcome

White transexuals

why are white trans women such petty pieces of shit?
you'd think being slightly more marginalized despite being in a first world country would make you at least a bit less of a bitch but it's like ya'll really just wanna fit the annoying white woman mold so much it's unreal you still wanna act like you own the queer community.

i don't want to believe in optics, but ya'll legitimately make being a transhumanist in the third world so much fucking worse in every way.

and no wonder /tttt/ thrives with how fucking milquetoast a bunch of you are yet go around with radlib talking points with next to no sense of class consciousness.

“Sukunas rival”
“Threat rivaling sukuna”
Literally on par with how oda writes the majority of his villains. All that hype for like 90% of the threats to be taken out by one off side characters. I haven’t read modulo. I doubt yuji is ever going to approach the raw experience, and endurance sukuna has put out in his story—idk, maybe he approaches sukuna in power? Jjk is a pleasure comic I read when I’m not reading the actually complex stories like hunter x hunter, monster, one piece when it’s being smart, or elite seinen.

I have been stealing shit from my workplace

I've been stealing from my workplace for about a month now and as far as I know absolutely nobody has caught on to what I'm doing. I work in the e-commerce department at a grocery store so when I'm gathering items for a customer's order or doing reshop to put stuff back on shelves and I'm in the wine section I just grab stuff. I've only been stealing these things called buzzballs and big sips they're like little almost circular bottles of alcohol so it's easy for me to slip them into my jacket or the cart I'm working on and take them with me without anyone noticing. I've probably stolen $60 to $70 dollars worth of product from my store so far.


All of that is to say- I dont want to lose my job over this so where is a safe place to steal a good amount of alcohol from with a low chance of being caught? I'm not even old enough to drink so buying it isnt a choice, and also I'm only happy now when I'm drunk so I don't want to stop. Just make suggestions on how I can shoplift safely and efficiently, thanks.
