Thinking of finally tackling Capital. Will most likely fail, however it’s a book which has to be reread many times I think. >>45830
Read it three days ago. A very interesting read. Should read more of Lenin, especially now since I’ve fallen for the bordiga meme

>>45887
I highly suggest the audio book version of capital if it seems like too thicc a physical book. If you commute or drive a lot it becomes something you just throw on all the time, like a radio show or podcast. Eventually, a few months go by, and you'll be done. You can even then pick up your physical copy, flip through, and really dig into sections you didn't quite catch the first go round. It def is a book meant to be reread.

i'm feeling conflicted, one one hand i don't personally like your sexuality, but on the other, you deserve better than to be trampled by the same people who trample brown foreigners, i don't know if i'm a hypocrite for thinking gay people deserve more breathing space away from concervatards, even if i still feel weird about transgenders

>>1628
Why do you feel you need to be "OK" with what other people do with regards to gender expression and sexual activity? Do you feel threatened by the fact that somewhere two men love each other? How is it functionally different for you if a man has a husband or a wife? I don't see how that affects you in a negative way.

It's just so arrogant, lazy, and even cynical.

Não está errado. A incapacidade do socialismo real em se fincar como um sistema de regras, com império da lei, processos legais, amplo direito de defesa etc. foi parte crucial de seu fracasso. Ele falhou em se tornar uma instituição, depndendo apenas de coerção pra se manter, e no momento que essa coerção foi diminuida, veio tudo abaixo.

Okay, let's try this. I would try making this sort of a general threads for a few weeks, then we'd see if they became popular and maybe mods would make /psrg/ a permanent thread.

Thread inteded as a containment place for a discussion of all things religious since I had noticed there was an infestation of a low-quality religious discussion threads recently.

Let's start with the building of a reading list about religion and spirituality from a marxist/general socialist perspective, shall we?

it depends on the way you want to appropiate their concepts. If you just leave them as they are in their autoctonous context, i.e. if you consider them under the EMIC approach, this might be the case, but even still, buddhism is not a homogenous set of dogmas, there are many distinct traditions with many different believes. Pure land buddhism i think could be an example of what you are saying. without considering this essential heterogeneity of what we call buddhism, we, as outsiders, have the privilege of approaching their systems of thought in an ETIC approach (see emic etic distinction) and appropiate the concepts developed by them in the way WE see fit, accomodating them in our own more conceptually advanced western philosophical-scientific outlook. It is always easy to criticize another system, to present it as poor and underdeveloped from the coordinates of our own system, but this is a libidinal trap, a trap through which we believe that we are gaining something from that kind of activity, when as a matter of fact the most productive thing is trying to take whatever advantage we can get from them, and silently and diligently working for our own advancement and ideally that of others and the system we live in.

But in general, the focus of buddhism is awakening, and the cessation of all suffering, and for them it is the case that their "dharma" or "dhamma" is the one and only true means for those ends. So, this goal is compatible in many ways with political practice, although the principle of not increasing general suffering, if approached in a deontological/kantian sort of way, may lead to severe political inaction, but this is not necessarily the case. Nor is it necessarily the case for this principle to be taken as a sort of utilitarianism, since their concept of suffering is not merely quantitative, but qualified: suffering is due to ignorance of the true nature of reality, and this ignorance is in turn a product of the imposture of the ego-construct as our real cognitive form and identity.

I believe many buddhist, especially mahayana (i.e., as of now, east asians) and vajrayana (i.e., tibetans) buddhists, if convinced that politics was a political system that facilitates the genaral goal of enlightement, they would consider it a skillfull mean for the goal of a bodhisattva, as long as that means doesn't degenerate into not achiePost too long.

First of all, if you write of religious matters, you can only use a religious framework to properly describe them. Philosophy or science might give answers telling you why religion exists, but religion is only comprehensible when it is a sphere of activity unique to itself. Every religion immediately must contend with every other religion that exists and with religion as a concept. One does not simply start a new religion based on an idea or some piece of technology they think is cool. Every religion necessarily must explain the origin not just of itself but of all things that could be of religious significance. The easiest way to do this is to recognize their origins from other religions directly. There can never be a "clean break" from religion while continuing to reference the same subject matter. So, unless Marxism is a religion for you—maybe it is—you can't speak of a "pure Marxist take" on religion, and Marxism has no real answers to that. It suggests a way religions can be destroyed by ideology, but it was tailor made for the destruction of Christianity which it opposed for reasons not difficult to figure out. Marxism and Christianity are certainly incompatible, but Marxism might be reconciled with other religions, and based on the nature of its claims it has to and attempts to reconcile with religion generally. It cannot claim neutrality, and when speaking of religious matters, there can never be neutral ground. The only "neutral ground" that might exist is the world prior to religion or that was not corrupted in any way by the practice of religion, and everything humans touch is corrupted by religion simply by virtue of humans all being members of societies where religion in one form or another was dominant and invasive. Even the invalid who as a rule are not allowed to join religion are subjected to religion, almost always victimized and shamed by it, but may themselves find in religion some explanation.

What is religion's true function? It is the study of the evil, for whatever purposes that may serve. Religion studies the evil to defend against it, or to summon it. Religion has no other legitimate purpose, and admits readily it cannot answer naturalistic or scientific questions, nor questions rooted in rationality or technology unless they are reframed with some religious purpose. Other things may study the evil, but religion has a unique ability to do this because it alone can approach what "evil" really entails. There is no way by loPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

If you think I'm slagging hard on Christianity in particular, I can tell you the evils of nearly every religion that has any prominence in society, from Islam to the fruity ones like Scientology or the seemingly harmless ones like Raelianism (and our good friend Rael has blood on his hands, they don't tell you that in the brochure). The religions that get anywhere usually entail some sort of horrible sacrifice that spawned their existence and most will practice sacrifice afterwards. Christianity is bizarre in that it suggests that there will be no more sacrifices (this of course is a lie, the true goal is to maximize sacrifices and say they were all wicked sinners and Christ will dispose of them). And of course, Satanism is the oldest religion there is and they just say outright the Dark Lord is the one true god and anything else is hogwash.

You cannot be a proper atheist without being religiously atheist, which means you would have to be for all intents and purposes a nihilist at the end of the day. Not many people have it in them to follow proper atheism to its conclusion. They usually succumb to some faggotry or justify the most shitty behavior as "nature", because they would—without a proper grounding in history to judge this—have nothing to go off but nature. The claim that there is anything "other than nature" begins at the very least as a superstitious claim, and then invites questions of the evil. That's why religion has a unique ability to answer questions of the evil, at least of the means humans have developed thus far. A small number of people are "attuned" in some way to the study of this evil, and they don't have anything "special" about them other than this. A larger number of people, I'd estimate about 15-20% of the human population, are more or less "natural Satanists" who are ruled by an instinct to dominate. They cannot be reformed and will screech like nothing else if you try. It is not really a law of nature that requires this, but you'd have to not just engineer their bodies and create a whole new "system" to remediate these "natural Satanics", but suggest a religion that acknowledges properly what the subject matter of religion generally is, and suggest a society where this study doesn't bring productive life to a grinding halt or destroy all security. That is the only outcome of any "future religion", and it will eventually become the dominant question. Right now, though, there is only the currently dominant religious miliePost too long.

wrong: practices originating in religious contexts can be appropriated from religions, as well as concepts and anything you want, just like any other activity. The issue is making them work, of course. I doubt that a revolutionary will be worse by meditating or being interested, in its own ethical outlook, in the benefit of all sentient beings. Both are things that in this case have come through buddhism, but buddhism does not exhaust their use as items in other systems, other systems can even outcompete buddhism in the use of said items. Now, a lot of items you should not incorporate, rather, you should do an immanent critique, incorporate them as poor moments of your own system and make that work, like marx shows how liberal values are mere bourgeoise ideology. Now, when you got a communist blindly appropriating liberal values, you got a radlib, when you got a communist blindly appropriating christianity, you got a Tolstoy kind of guy. But someone that in his childhood had an interest in christianity and became a communist, but at the same time mantained an ethics that is about the redemption of humanity, or whatever, does not necessarily make his system worse: it depends on how he makes the appropriated items work. By definition, philosophy is the ultimate appropriating activity: while religion cannot take an outside concept freely because it must ideologically stand by its dogmas for x or y historical reasons, philosophy can appropriated everything freely and minmax the conceptual items that are constantly being produced in all other activities. Maybe you think that just because some ideology has configured itself in a certain way and immanently gives some hermeneutical rules to understand it, one has to play by the book and follow said rules just because they say so, but this is not true: you can extract and reconfigure any item, be it a theoretical or practical concept. Maybe you didn't know you could actually do this, but now you know: now go on and explore any system of thought you want and do whatever you want with it. Maybe you think that if this is true everything would just be a frankestein of different items but this is not true because: there are emergent properties, such as those that arise dialectically, which make so that not all configurations are functionally the same if handling the same items. So, not everything works, just like in any oPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's always been easier to make games that were heavy on art and light on code. That's basically what point and click adventure games are, at the extreme.

I'm AI neutral. I'm not going to sperg out every time I see an AI image or anything, and I can definitely see the utility in such a thing, but right now it's just plain not a great tool for creative expression. What I'd like to see going forward is AI tools that give you more direct control. A lot of the early AI stuff looked like it was going that way, I remember there was a program that let you turn 2D drawings into 3D models which was really cool. Whatever happened to that sort of thing? I thought it was really exciting.

Apparently if you unmask <gnome-base/librsvg-2.41.0 there is a versions of x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme which can run with this meaning you don't have to provide virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme. The disadvantage of this is that there are known vulnerabilities with this package and no one (so far as know) seems to want to take up the mantle to maintain the <gnome-base/librsvg-2.41.0 version of the library.

Practice a lot. If you get a good interviewer doesn't matter how well you do the problem, but about how cool your are, how communicative you are, and if you can think of different strategies even if they're wrong. Structuring code, naming variables correctly, stuff like this.

Practicing is very important and will give you an edge. Finally it's a numbers game, you need to go through this humiliation ritual several times, and face rejection. Think of it like practice.

I'm also very weak so I don't think going the cabling route will necessarily be a path forward either.

I like Andor but sometimes some of the effects and sets seem a little too "shiny" at times if that makes sense. Sure you could reasonably argue that it's just because of much of it taking place in imperial installations and the core worlds where locales will inherently be clean and technologically advanced in comparison to the rest of the galaxy, but I've noticed this kind of weirdness even when it comes down to blasterfire and the way some scenes are shot.
I imagine the people that grew up on the originals felt the same way when they first saw the prequels, but I think the difference in filming methods between the Disney produced Star Wars and the prequels under Lucas is more noticeable than the gap between the originals and prequels.

This. If Amerikkka is any indication any capitalist or fascist society's capital needs to have homeless encampments and strung out druggies wandering the streets aimlessly. Chile under Pinochet had over 20% unemployment. I just watched 7,8, and 9 and was disappointed to see that right outside the Senate building was just gleaming shiny buildings rather than the urban decay capitalism/fascism creates.

>>45937
Andor and Bix live in that city and they say that the chaos and disorder is good for hiding. They don't really show it though. Would be good to show a massive discrepancy between the clean senate and the poor neighborhoods.

>>45937
The Senate is upper Coruscant. Cassian and Bix seem to be hiding out in a sort of an unremarkable lower middle class district. Lower coruscant is shown plenty in the prequels/Clone Wars, so if anything seeing the "cleaner" areas is a change of pace

I think the Andor soundtrack has been way too loud for about 3 episodes or so.

From what i understand, successful rural guerrillas like the Shining Path and FARC weren't able to overthrown their governments because of low popular support on cities.
Why is that? How can we overcome this problem? I want to study that. If anyone got good books/videos/documentaries on the history of the Shining Path, the FARC, IRA, the Red Faction, and whatever you think will help, please share them.

I would say, the PCP-SL, like the CPP or the CPI (maoist) had (and have for the last two) to fight just like the CPC under Mao. What i'm trying to say is, a Guerrilla has to perservere during decades of conflict. Those decades may even be a century, but one of the truths as communists we know is that of contradictions. Though they may be for some or a lot of time slow to develop, they eventually come to a point which the guerrillas who follow a correct theoretical line can use to advance.

The other problem is that of establishment of a guerrilla in developed countries without the semi-feudal conditions the three i mentioned have.

Now, the answer i have has no example whatsoever and has no study involved. But see how Cyberpunk is described? How, there, capitalism evolves towards a complete dystopia? It is possible that capitalism can come to that, and that dystopia can create the conditions for an armed wing of Communist Party.

I have this conclusion from seeing how Japan is, they haven't come to that point though. But they are capitalism to an extreme, just not an Oligarchy, rather its people are massively depressed.

And not only that, even in countries with a history of progressive (yet liberal) measures like Northern Europe, there are signs of how capitalism makes a people depressed by expecting them to work like slaves and to exceed.

So i see capitalism is reinforcing its contraditions and it can come to a point where government has no power left, because capitalism has. Once that is achieved, a guerrilla can be possible.

By the way, people, this is a hypothesis, i ain't trying to give this a serious thought.

The failure of violent revolution like the Paris Commune is not because they betrayed the "contradictions" but rather due to the stragic failures of the people involved instead. For examples, not seizing the banks where they could be used to fund their goals, not attacking the government army, etc. It is literally such failures, not "unfollowing contradictions", resulted in their defeats. This can be avoided through observing the patterns of events and adjusting one's own decisions based on to it.

Events in a materialist sense is like the results of contradictions rather than existing independently from it. The contradictions itself can't be unfollowed since it is causal to all events. On the other hand, the theories of revolutionary terrorism are well developed and there are actions guided by them. Some people are better off fighting than to be enslaved. There are de facto free zones being established through terrorism like the areas under control of the Maoist ICP and SDF.

Northern Europe is not "progressive" nor does Japan (note how ridiculous "progressive" combined with "liberal" is) since they're reactionary by bing bourgeois and follows a doctrine of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. "Oligarchy" is the rule of the bourgeoisie, it is another way of telling the story. There is no factors preventing you from fighting gurrilla warfare as long as you can gather the material needed. It is literally possible to get a gun plus there are like-minded people as well. The concept "power dynamic" didn't predict the success of the Bolsheviks nor the CCP and turned reactionary by being used to deter any attempts to build communism through revolution instead.

Hey, I am editor anon again. Currently, I made the legion much more dangerous in a mod I’m working on.

Simply put, I replaced most of the legion’s weapons with the 12.7mm submachine gun. For those unaware, this gun is one of the strongest guns in game, and it is used canonically by the Legion’s assault divisions. By having most legion soldiers use this gun, the legion stands a better chance against most factions, and fighting the legion feels much more fierce than a point and click experience against tribesmen with literal spears.

So why did I buff the legion? Well, I am trying to fix the gunplay, and I feel like I found the solution. My approach is to make guns stronger and more widely used. I believe that if most characters use guns, New Vegas’ gameplay should feel much more exciting. From the play tests I have, this idea holds up. Having more enemies use guns makes the game play more like a shooter. Coincidentally, the increased firepower also makes the game feel more representative of the lore.

Thanks

Newest update: I made the marksman carbine fully automatic because it’s literally just a scoped version of the assault carbine. Other mods do this, but mine incorporates this feature with several others

Not my mod, but I thought this was cool

The modding community fixed two different bugs
The first is obvious in the video. Bethesda didn’t implement an animation transition fix for the amount of snapping that occurs. The modder responsible for the fix has made new Vegas the only fallout 3 era creation game with working animations.

Outside of that, the modding community (wallsogb was the author) also fixed LOD flicker caused by floating point precision errors in rendering by using depth buffers so that’s great.

I am still working on the mod. I shifted my focus from fortifying positions to increasing the amount of urbanism in the mojave in general. City's act as natural fortresses and around 70% of modern day battles take place in them anyways. It makes sense for most of the game to be covered in ruins and cities than in the wastes themselves and random camps

/k/ has their own patch and shit, i was thinking we should have one too, somewhat like these

Okay

1. that shit is not embroidered
2. paraphernalia disconnected from membership to actual organizations is antithetical to socialism

I think the reason why the patch game is so bad on the left is that no one wants to sell shit except for anarchists and succdems. You go on etsy and its all hammer and sickles, the A, pride flags and cringe fight the power shit.
And all of them are shit quality, except for the pride flags. Most of those are merrowed and nice quality which is cool, but thats it.

GTA VI TRAILER 2 JUST DROPPED!!!!!

>>42473
I'm too depressed to do that atm sadly but yes I always wanted to have a hot body, I absolutely love the male physique

Spurred by this trailer I finally decided to give GTA5 a try. Plays exactly like I expected it to - bad gunplay and insane level of railroading. In a first mission I punched a car and got game over screen, because I wasnt supposed to punch a car, becACUSE FUCK YOU I DONT CARE IT DOESNT DISRUPT THE SCRIPTING OR CONTINUITY THERE WAS NO OBJECTIVE MARKER TELLING YOU TO PUNCH A CAR STOP DOING THINGS THAT ARENT EXPLICITELY TOLD TO YOU STAY IN YOUR FUCKING SKINNER BOX
The narrative suffers from the same issue as GTA4, or Sleeping Dogs, or any other game of this kind that attempts for a serious story, it fundamentaly clashes with utterly unserious gameplay. You cant attempt exploration of themes trauma, violence, revenge and redemption while ragdollising 25 people driving your cousing to the bowling alley.

>>42477
You're probably correct but it's still a video game so who cares

I think black people have this issue. Look online for tips of black people facial hair removal.

>beard shadow
see vidrel, especially 3:08
>fucked up skin
if you dont already, keep the skin wet and warm for 30 to 60 seconds beforehand, and use shaving gel or cream beforehand and aftershave and moisturizer afterhand
for permanent removal, especially with light colored hair, electrolysis is the only option
unfortunately, its expensive, even more so than laser

it's dogshit regardless and it doesn't change the fact they tried to make gay couple over the nearest female for korra instead of a genuine relationship, her character basically war racketeer capitalist >>1594 and far i know the show doesn't even acknowledge that part of their relationship at all and the show keeps focusing on a love triangle that wasn't working writing wise instead of the main story or relationship between theses two. This being "envelope pushing" isn't a good look, as she does war racketeering again by the time they're going to be in a/setting up the relationship. It would've interesting is she a better person over time as she fall in love with korra or their relationship is what her a better person but they didn't do that all.

I really do hope live-action TV isn't that bad, but I have to admit I don't want a minute of it so I can't go against you. In fact, I don't know anyone who does much. Perhaps live-action writers have written themselves into a corner with their audience, typical audience know what shows they watch are like, and non-typical audiences also know that. There are niches, and it's hard to break into and out of them.

Indie projects of course don't have to follow those writing norms and hence can be satisfying both for adults and children.

>>1603
>anime
So yaoi, shonen — made for Japanese boys mind you — and maybe a bit of yuri? You're never getting problematic queer represenation here, let alone any decent queer rep. Studios executives don't have the guts to pull that kind of risk.
Like you said literature provides better representation, hell even web-comics if you want something more visually appealing.
