You peasants just don't get it.

it's clearly the consumer that's the problem. The management are aghast at how the public treats their workers. How could you expect somebody to work for free? Servers need tips to survive, not tipping them at least 100% is the financial equivalent of murder. It should come with jail time, because at least with real murder the victim doesn't suffer for a long time. Anybody tipping less than 120% is a monster.

I greatly dislike being a trans woman

I hate that I constantly get victimized and have ppl be meanie faces to me, but the moment I do anything I'm a predator whose off to get V-coded in prison.
I kinda just hate being a woman in general, but I hate being a man even more. I don't desire to dominate others or submit, I just want to be an equal.
I just wish I wasn't apart of a group that is constantly a joke to 99% of humanity. I don't even feel like I belong to trans spaces, I don't really get along with most trans ppl.
I feel like I'm literally just a cis woman in my life, but fate decided that my body be 95% cis, well besides a lack of a functioning vagina/uterus.
Damn, I wish I had a vagina.
I hate having a penis.
I need srs so badly.

giant congo snake

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. 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.

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.

Great Introductory Music

My taste in music is extremely under developed/"uncultured"/shallow because I struggle with music alot. I can only listen to music if I'm doing a activity, it I sit down and try to listen I feel genuine pain, which makes it hard for me to pay attention to lyrics.

It's also hard to pay attention to the lyrics since:
1) They never feel worth it to pay attention to, especially the more a song sounds good, (for some reason it seems like no song can accomplish both). Ex: I had a genuine terrible time with rage against the machine and Daughters because the sound completely negated any enjoyment I had paying attention to their lyrics.
2) It seems like when listening to a song, all you're actually suppose to do is feel and not think about it much, basically the song being nothing but a vibe machine, (I'm basing this off of a study where 70% of people listen to music to just remember the past). Which is extremely contradictory to how people talk about music, (especially music nerds).

So is there any ultra master peace albums/songs you guys can recommend that can completely change my opinion? To make it easy to recommend, I mostly listen to anime and video game music, with random pop songs here and there.

the gpl is dumb

there are two positions one can take on the issue of intellectual property, either you believe in it or you don't. either information is a material resource that can be governed and owned, or information is an immaterial resource that cannot be governed nor owned.

you can't criticize software vendors for restricting access to their source code and invoking intellectual property law to sue people who copy it, and then turn around and invent a copyleft license so you can do the exact same thing. you can't copy the source code from unix and emacs and violate their license to write unauthorized clones and then lock those clones behind your own license to stop others from doing whatever they want with "your" code.

words are not things and language is a means, not an end. the significance of a legal document is not in the text itself but in how the text is interpreted and enforced in a court of law. permissive licenses such as the bsd license can effectively be thought of public domain licenses because they contain no enforceable non-trivial restrictions that could conceivably ever warrant an actual court case, but copyleft licenses like the gpl can and have been involved in real courtroom cases and any civil litigation in any courtroom requires a specific plaintiff, and it cannot be "the people" as in a criminal case filed by the state. the plaintiffs in gpl violation cases are typically non-profit organizations like the free software foundation or the software freedom law center who act as legal representatives for one or more of the developers, and which developers get to be constituents and potential beneficiaries in the lawsuit is decided entirely at the discretion of whomever happens to be in the room when the lawsuit is first filed.

to illustrate the real-world ramifications of this, consider the busybox lawsuits filed against various companies by busybox developers erick anderson and rob landley represented by the software freedom law center. the cases were settled for undisclosed sums and these two developers got paid off, but none of the other hundreds of contributors to the busybox project, including the original authors bruce perens and dave cinege, were represented or given a share of the settlement or even contacted by the plaintiffs. so in practice, enforcement of the gpl does not really represent the open source community and all the contributors to a particular project, it only represents the tiny fraction of contributors who have enough extra time and money on their hands to pursue litigation and are under no compunction to share the rewards with anyone else.

thus, the whole idea of the gpl is just one big contradiction, it is a way for certain privileged people to appoint themselves as representatives of a supposedly democratic community project with or without the consent or even the knowledge of the other contributors and invoke their names and their work to extract financial restitution for themselves. this is not democracy, this is not the commons; this is just private ownership. and there's no way to correct for this, it is the result of a fundamental category error, trying to govern a public resource using a legal system that is only designed to govern private property. you can't have your cake and eat it too, either you release something to the public and accept that the world will do whatever it pleases with it, or you treat it as private property. intellectual property is either legitimate or it isn't, there is no coherent middle position.

Why isn’t Latin America considered part of the west

Pictured: Huntington’s retarded “Clash of Civilizations” thesis, mapped

Serious question. By all cultural, economical and political metrics, Latin America is part of the western world and, dare I say, far more western than many European countries and all of East Asia. Let’s start with the basics.

  1. Majority religion in the region is Christianity across all Latin American countries, with Protestant and Catholics being the two biggest denominations there.

  2. All Latin American countries have an European language as the primary language and lingua Franca. Mostly Spanish, but Portuguese in Brazil’s case, and (tentatively FWIW) French in the cases of the French Guyana and Haiti, with said languages being the sole official or co-official language in their country.

  3. All Latin American countries have been republics for much longer than many European states today

  4. With the exception of Brazil which broke ties with the kingdom of Portugal by establishing its own monarchy, all former Spanish colonies waged revolutionary wars of independence modelled after the American and French bourgeois revolutions, and installed in place republican governments modelled after enlightenment principles

  5. Latin American cultures are heavily based on European cultures. Sure, it’s specifically Iberian, but decades of European immigration has brought in influences from other parts of Europe like Italy and Northern Europe. Of course there are African and indigenous influences too, but ultimately LatAm cultures are heavily derivative of European ones, as indicated by both language and religion.

  6. For much of its history, Latin American countries have rarely if ever been involved with Africa and Asia, instead having been more heavily involved in western affairs, of which Latin America’s ones are part of.

  7. A substantial portion of Latin Americans are of predominantly European descent, and even the mixed race majority in LatAm has predominant or slight European ancestry, meaning that they aren’t completely divorced from Europe

  8. In terms of domestic affairs, many are currently western liberal democracies (however flawed it might be) that follow along the politics of both the USA and European domestic politics. Indeed, most Latin American countries are structured after western countries and have been so for centuries.


Now, I should mention that being western and being peripheral aren’t mutually exclusive since countries like China aren’t western and yet aren’t deemed as peripheral either. So no, being a core country isn’t a strict requirement for”western status”.

All in all, I fail to see why shouldn’t Latin America (or the entirety of the western hemisphere bar Suriname and Guyana for that matter) be deemed as part of the western world and, but extension, have Latinos be deemed as westerners without resorting to double standards and selective bias.

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

With that out of the way, let me be clear that I’m not 100% confident in Christ’s non-existence, but nevertheless I’m not convinced on the existence of Christ as a historical figure for the following reasons:

  1. 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.

  2. There’s no mention of a Jesus Christ being crucified in any surviving Roman documents.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

With that said, maybe there was a thought leader in some Jewish splinter group called “Jesus Christ” or something to that effect, but there’s no compelling evidence that the Jesus Christ that we are familiar with has ever existed at all.

Hopefully this thread won’t devolve into a flame war, I hope.

I definitely don't want to be a man, but something keeps me from fully feeling like a woman. I don't feel any solidarity or strong connection to men or women; I see them as alien to me and mired in an unnecessary idpol. I feel uncomfortable when I have to identify my gender.

Psyop anti-Argentina

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

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.

The Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (All the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, with all Women forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. The Worldwide flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary will ironically cause a noticeable Global decline in Transgenders (less Men will desire to become Women once the Aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity such as Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, are banned for Women) in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes will still be Free and Legal to anyone who wants one, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

Additionally, any Woman who keeps her Hair longer then a Pixie cut (a Very Short Bob cut “might” be tolerated only if it is not a millimeter below the Chin, but I could change my mind on this very quickly, so it would be strongly advised that all Women keep their Hair no longer then a Pixie cut), wears a Dress/Skirt, or uses Makeup/Lipstick, will have her Head completely Shaved by the Female (mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards, who will march her through the streets wearing a Dunce Cap, force her to attend Struggle Sessions, and put her in a Re-Education Camp, where she will be taught how to become a Liberated Socialist Woman and embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

When a Woman gets her Hair Chopped/Shaved off She is symbolically breaking the Chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that Long Hair on Women symbolizes in the Patriarchal Superstructure of the modern Capitalist and historical Feudal Modes of Production (then it would have been called Aristocratic Femininity), thus meaning that Forcing Women to have extremely Short Hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), along with banning Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick and making everyone wear Mandatory Mao suits is the only way to Flatten the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and create Liberated Socialist Women, as Mao said “The times have changed, Men and Women are the same”, and the only way to create a Superstructure of Gender equality that reinforces the Socialist Mode of Production is to purge the Superstructure of all vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that symbolize Patriarchal Female Subjugation and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary (ie. Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick), and before people say “why not force Men to look like Women”, the reason why the Liberated Socialist Woman must have the aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity (ie. extremely Short Hair, wearing Mao Suits instead of Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick, etc.) is because the Aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated “Subject”, while the Aesthetics of Bourgeois “Femininity” symbolize Weakness, Dependence, and being an Oppressed “Object”, so a Liberated Socialist Woman must have Aesthetics that symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated “Subject”, in a Socialist Superstructure of total Gender Equality resulting from the Flattening of the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and the destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

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.

Distract me from the pain

So, i realized i want to be a mom a while ago, which had me crying a lot for days til i spoke to a therapist, and my endocrinologist.

And so i had to temporarily stop HRT and i feel like i'm dying, currently in a state of induced menopause for a couple of months more and my god, the cold sweats, my throat closes because of the anxiety, depersonalization and disociation makes it hard to do anything besides bedrotting and playing fast paced shooters that let me keep my brain in a constant state of focus in such tasks

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.

I keep lusting after this girl at my work that I think is trans

There's this girl at my work who I really wanna cuddle up with/bang, she's like a recent graduate student or something, at first she was really shy but gotten more friendly over time. She's really tall and I kinda get the vibe she might be a transgirl, not like I can just ask obviously, or not like it really matters, but I feel fantasizing about fucking her cute ass. I wanna get her to warm up with me more and get more comfortable with each other.

She's clearly nerdy and shy which gets me going. She comes in and makes tea while wearing neon blue headphones sometimes and is oblivious. I like watching her bend over the copy machine.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure it would be a bad idea to actually hit on her, I really like this job and I'm 33 (though young looking) and she's like in her early 20s I think so I don't wanna get fired for being a groomer or whatever. Plus I just don't wanna make things awkward in general or make her uncomfortable at work.

What should I do anons? Other than furiously jerk off thinking about her? Should I embrace my chaser urges? What if she likes me too?

R: 37 / I: 4
While being a stupid bi moid, I've always been drawn to a very androgynous look because of a certain aversion to masculinity and many things associated with it - I'm very proud of my long hair, and I know that if I ever get a receding hairline, It'll be either Turkey or the rope due to body dysmorphia. One of the best experiences of my life was being accidentally misgendered and hit on by a drunk alt lesbian. The whole general male pickup culture, its toxicity, and the way it objectifies the other person really disgusted me - not to mention that most of the foids, and people in general, seemed like goycattle not worth paying attention to and devoid of any interests.

About a year ago, I met a older than me twink at a philosophy group at uni. He also had an andro appearance, we shared a similarly complex view of gender, he was also bi and a bottom (it wasn't hard to figure out) - he studied something related to HR, and I started to appreciate his genuine, even a little naive, woke stance, especially compared to the cynicism that had built up in me. As time went on, I started to like him more and more and wanted to spend as much time with him as possible; I even waited in places where I knew he would be passing by, hoping to bump into him *by chance*. At some point, I realized that I was romantically attracted to him.

This is a post in style of "i am a sad lonely faggot, here's some embarrassing information about me, please dont bully me with it", but honestly, I've never had any experience with picking up or flirting. So I feel pathetic because I can't even convey to him that I like him. I've known him for a year - we even ride the same train home from our philosophy group - but I don't know how to subtly let him know how much I want to fuck him and give him a blowjob. I know my problem is just me being a pathetic loser, but how the fuck do I pick up a theymab woke twink?

How do i stop feeling like a chaser?

I love trans women but i also love cis women and guys and i genuinely see tgirls as real women. I consider support for the trans community an integral part of my political worldview yet every time i see one and think shes hot i always have that though go through my head and i feel disgusted by myself. This happens specially when i watch trans porn even though thats just one of the many types of porn i watch. It got to the point that if i ever met a transwoman in real life id be too scared to even look at her let alone talk to her for fear that i might come off as a chaser. I do have ocd which might play a part but it is not one of the main themes currently so i dont think its that alone

Negative Proletarianism - To End Capitalism

Fuck the workers, they ruined the movement. The workers are the real class collaborators and traitors. Long Live the international bourgeoisie making things worse so that the workers may realize how much they are being fucked slowly but surely. WHO ALLOWS CAPITALISM? WHO HAS NOT YET REVOLTED? WHO HAS NOT YET DONE A REVOLUTION? THE FILTHY WORKERS. So they are the client. Capitalism benefits the workers masochism and not the bourgeoisie. If the workers weren't retarded masochists they would have done away with it already.
YES I DID IT. I SOLVED CAPITALISM. BE BOURGEOISIE NOT A WORKER. THE BOURGEOISIE HOLD THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE STATE AND CONTROL THE MODE OF PRODUCTION, SI SI SI IL DUCE, SI SI SI SI, ᴉuᴉlossnW was right you didn't understand his genius ya'll.

SO, citizens of left of /pol/ I have created a new current to end capital - negative proletarianism. Deng had it right but stopped because he cares about the workers, but the workers are evil, they don't start the revolution - they benefit from capital exploiting them because they are masochist and ignorant. The bourgeoisie may be ignorant but they have the means to end capital. Citizens of left of /pol/ accumulate CAPITAL and join the world market economy so we can bond together and bring about the end of class society FROM ABOVE.

JOIN THE ELITE, join SOROS, join the WEF. DO IT. This is what ze new world order meant. THEY ARE THE GOOD GUYS. This is like negative utilitarianism or some shit where this one crazy guy said that life is bad because of suffering so like killing life reduces suffering I forgot what the premise was but thats basically on the correct track minus the economic analysis - you see the real analysis is that things are the opposite of what they seem SO the bourgeoisie are the guys who can make change but are exploited by the workers to stagnate because the workers are the masses and reactionary and they will get really dumb and angry if the bourgeoisie actually have the interest to end capitalism. One poster said that the biggest lie is that capitalism benefits the bourgeoisie - when capitalism is obviously self destructive. So petite-bourgeoisie and bourgeoisie must unite to end capitalism and fend off against the reactionary workers who are not yet ready for communism. Il Duce you devious schemer I knew you had it in you, you great man, they hated you because they loved you.

God is real, reality is a dream and quantum physics proves it

In quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is described by a wave function. Before measurement, the system does not have definite values for every measurable property. Instead, the wave function gives probabilities for the different possible outcomes that could be observed.

After a measurement is made, the system has a definite value for the measured property. This requires a sudden change in the wave function: before measurement, it describes many possible outcomes, but after measurement, only one outcome remains with a 100% probability while all others become 0%.

If these other possibilities are not removed from the wave function, the predictions for future measurements of the same system would be incorrect. This transition from many possible outcomes to one actual outcome is called wave-function collapse.

The problem is that collapse is not described by the Schrödinger equation, which describes how quantum systems evolve over time. The Schrödinger equation only describes the continuous evolution of the wave function; it does not explain when or why collapse happens.

Because collapse is not produced by the Schrödinger equation, its cause cannot be found within the physical processes described by that equation. The main problem in quantum physics is explaining how a system goes from an undefined state containing multiple possibilities to a state with one definite outcome. Since all known physical interactions are already described by quantum mechanics, the cause of collapse cannot simply be another physical interaction within the same framework.

After a century of debate, collapse remains one of the central problems of quantum mechanics. On one hand, collapse seems to contradict the Schrödinger equation. On the other hand, it seems necessary because without collapse there would be no single physical event. The wave function contains possibilities, but an actual event requires one possibility to become real while the others are eliminated.

Quantum mechanics therefore challenges the idea that reality exists as a continuous physical world with definite properties at every moment. Instead, it describes reality as a series of events where definite properties appear only when they are measured. Before collapse, the properties of the system are not determined.

This does not mean that a quantum particle is literally in many places at once. A non-collapsed wave function does not describe one particle existing in multiple locations simultaneously; it describes multiple possible outcomes. If a system has no definite properties, then those properties do not exist in the classical sense.

Photons, electrons, and other quantum particles can therefore be understood as names we give to mathematical descriptions of possible events. Collapse represents the transition from possible outcomes to an actual event.

Quantum mechanics appears incompatible with traditional realism, because realism assumes that physical objects exist continuously and have properties independent of observation. Since collapse cannot be explained by the Schrödinger equation, it must involve something outside the equation.

A measuring device cannot fully explain collapse, because the device itself is made of quantum particles and follows quantum laws. Therefore, the collapse cannot simply be caused by another physical interaction already described by quantum mechanics.

The only known phenomenon that cannot be reduced to the Schrödinger equation is consciousness. Therefore, actual events may require the involvement of consciousness.
However, this does not mean that a person's mind directly creates reality. The argument is not that human observers magically force particles into existence. Instead, it argues that there is a connection between conscious observation and the appearance of definite events. A correlation does not necessarily mean direct causation.
From this perspective, idealism provides a solution to the measurement problem. Instead of assuming an external physical world independent of the mind, idealism argues that reality exists as experiences within consciousness.

In the Berkeleyan view, the universe exists as ideas in the mind of God. God directly sustains and creates the experiences we perceive. The universe is not a physical object existing independently from minds, but a consistent order of experiences created by God.

Under this interpretation, wave-function collapse is not a physical process that needs a mechanism. It is simply the mathematical description of how possible experiences become actual experiences.
This view is similar to the philosophy of George Berkeley, where God is not only the Creator but also the continual Sustainer of reality.

Idealism argues that it is unnecessary to assume a hidden physical reality existing independently of the mind. What we directly know are our experiences, and mathematics describes the patterns within those experiences. The laws of physics are therefore understood as the rational structure God uses to produce an ordered universe.

This explains both why conscious experience exists, and why mathematics is so effective at predicting nature.

The brain and mental experiences are correlated, but the brain does not necessarily create consciousness; instead, physical processes may represent mental processes.

The claim that decoherence solves the collapse problem is disputed. Decoherence explains why quantum systems appear classical when they interact with their environment, but it does not explain why only one possible outcome becomes actual.

Even after decoherence, the wave function still contains multiple possible outcomes. If one outcome is not selected and the others are not removed, then the predictions for later measurements remain problematic.

The laws of classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics, but this does not solve the measurement problem. The same wave function can still correspond to many possible classical outcomes. Collapse is still required to explain why one possibility becomes a real event.

The many-worlds interpretation does not solve this problem because it simply denies that collapse happens. It keeps the Schrödinger equation as the fundamental law, but then must explain why observers experience only one outcome.

If two measurements are performed on the same system, standard quantum mechanics requires updating the wave function after the first measurement. Without this update, the predictions for the second measurement would be incorrect.

Many-worlds avoids collapse by claiming that all possible outcomes continue to exist in different branches of reality. However, critics argue that this introduces an unnecessary and untestable idea of countless universes without actually explaining why we experience one outcome.

The concept of "branching" remains controversial because it is difficult to explain exactly when and how these branches form.

Furthermore, many-worlds assumes that consciousness arises from physical processes described by quantum mechanics. Critics argue that consciousness cannot be explained by the Schrödinger equation alone.

Finally, the wave function itself is a mathematical concept, not a physical object. Since many-worlds treats the wave function as describing many physical universes, critics argue that it relies on abstract mathematical entities and the minds capable of understanding those abstractions.

God is real, reality is a dream and quantum physics proves it

In quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is described by a wave function. Before measurement, the system does not have definite values for every measurable property. Instead, the wave function gives probabilities for the different possible outcomes that could be observed.

After a measurement is made, the system has a definite value for the measured property. This requires a sudden change in the wave function: before measurement, it describes many possible outcomes, but after measurement, only one outcome remains with a 100% probability while all others become 0%.

If these other possibilities are not removed from the wave function, the predictions for future measurements of the same system would be incorrect. This transition from many possible outcomes to one actual outcome is called wave-function collapse.

The problem is that collapse is not described by the Schrödinger equation, which describes how quantum systems evolve over time. The Schrödinger equation only describes the continuous evolution of the wave function; it does not explain when or why collapse happens.

Because collapse is not produced by the Schrödinger equation, its cause cannot be found within the physical processes described by that equation. The main problem in quantum physics is explaining how a system goes from an undefined state containing multiple possibilities to a state with one definite outcome. Since all known physical interactions are already described by quantum mechanics, the cause of collapse cannot simply be another physical interaction within the same framework.

After a century of debate, collapse remains one of the central problems of quantum mechanics. On one hand, collapse seems to contradict the Schrödinger equation. On the other hand, it seems necessary because without collapse there would be no single physical event. The wave function contains possibilities, but an actual event requires one possibility to become real while the others are eliminated.

Quantum mechanics therefore challenges the idea that reality exists as a continuous physical world with definite properties at every moment. Instead, it describes reality as a series of events where definite properties appear only when they are measured. Before collapse, the properties of the system are not determined.

This does not mean that a quantum particle is literally in many places at once. A non-collapsed wave function does not describe one particle existing in multiple locations simultaneously; it describes multiple possible outcomes. If a system has no definite properties, then those properties do not exist in the classical sense.

Photons, electrons, and other quantum particles can therefore be understood as names we give to mathematical descriptions of possible events. Collapse represents the transition from possible outcomes to an actual event.

Quantum mechanics appears incompatible with traditional realism, because realism assumes that physical objects exist continuously and have properties independent of observation. Since collapse cannot be explained by the Schrödinger equation, it must involve something outside the equation.

A measuring device cannot fully explain collapse, because the device itself is made of quantum particles and follows quantum laws. Therefore, the collapse cannot simply be caused by another physical interaction already described by quantum mechanics.

The only known phenomenon that cannot be reduced to the Schrödinger equation is consciousness. Therefore, actual events may require the involvement of consciousness.
However, this does not mean that a person's mind directly creates reality. The argument is not that human observers magically force particles into existence. Instead, it argues that there is a connection between conscious observation and the appearance of definite events. A correlation does not necessarily mean direct causation.
From this perspective, idealism provides a solution to the measurement problem. Instead of assuming an external physical world independent of the mind, idealism argues that reality exists as experiences within consciousness.

In the Berkeleyan view, the universe exists as ideas in the mind of God. God directly sustains and creates the experiences we perceive. The universe is not a physical object existing independently from minds, but a consistent order of experiences created by God.

Under this interpretation, wave-function collapse is not a physical process that needs a mechanism. It is simply the mathematical description of how possible experiences become actual experiences.
This view is similar to the philosophy of George Berkeley, where God is not only the Creator but also the continual Sustainer of reality.

Idealism argues that it is unnecessary to assume a hidden physical reality existing independently of the mind. What we directly know are our experiences, and mathematics describes the patterns within those experiences. The laws of physics are therefore understood as the rational structure God uses to produce an ordered universe.

This explains both why conscious experience exists, and why mathematics is so effective at predicting nature.

The brain and mental experiences are correlated, but the brain does not necessarily create consciousness; instead, physical processes may represent mental processes.

The claim that decoherence solves the collapse problem is disputed. Decoherence explains why quantum systems appear classical when they interact with their environment, but it does not explain why only one possible outcome becomes actual.

Even after decoherence, the wave function still contains multiple possible outcomes. If one outcome is not selected and the others are not removed, then the predictions for later measurements remain problematic.

The laws of classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics, but this does not solve the measurement problem. The same wave function can still correspond to many possible classical outcomes. Collapse is still required to explain why one possibility becomes a real event.

The many-worlds interpretation does not solve this problem because it simply denies that collapse happens. It keeps the Schrödinger equation as the fundamental law, but then must explain why observers experience only one outcome.

If two measurements are performed on the same system, standard quantum mechanics requires updating the wave function after the first measurement. Without this update, the predictions for the second measurement would be incorrect.

Many-worlds avoids collapse by claiming that all possible outcomes continue to exist in different branches of reality. However, critics argue that this introduces an unnecessary and untestable idea of countless universes without actually explaining why we experience one outcome.

The concept of "branching" remains controversial because it is difficult to explain exactly when and how these branches form.

Furthermore, many-worlds assumes that consciousness arises from physical processes described by quantum mechanics. Critics argue that consciousness cannot be explained by the Schrödinger equation alone.

Finally, the wave function itself is a mathematical concept, not a physical object. Since many-worlds treats the wave function as describing many physical universes, critics argue that it relies on abstract mathematical entities and the minds capable of understanding those abstractions.

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.

How long to wait after Buprenorphine for Methadone to work

Hi guys.

I took almost 8mg of Subutex (Buprenorphine) by snorting yesterday between the hours of 17-23.

Today I managed to acquire 35mgs of Levomethadone, which is equivalent of ~70 mg of Methadone (and without the NMDA receptor fuckery). How long should I wait before taking all of it so that the Buprenorphine of yesterday doesn't block my high.

People keep telling me 24 hours (since this was a one-time thing). I didn't want to take Buprenorphine since it sucks. But Levomethadone is a great high. I'm going to boost it with 1mg of Alprazolam as well as a heavy dose of nicotine.

It's been 12 hours since my last Bupe snort. So 12 hours left to go. Is this true and right? Or could I cheat a bit and take the methadone after just 16 hours?

What's your opinion?

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.’
>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.

Positivity thread

Talk about something nice that happened to you or something you’re excited for. It can be a small thing

I’ll go first: I saw a very cute dog wearing little dog shoes on my walk. I also bought some new video games I’m excited to play :3

im fucking tired of Capitalism. My previous job gave me heart issues that caused me to quit, and I can't even find a new job because of it which is putting me in collections. I genuinely never wanted to die more in my life

This show has everything. It's very luigipilled and burgerpunk. It has the zeitgeist. Very nice. Did enjoy. Would recommend. It's like Breaking Bad and Fear and Loathing meets Akira and Paprika.
