Lets Predict the future, by analyzing Mass Psychology

So far we got repeating cycles of chaos and order, the shifting of mass opinion and acceptance.
We want to collect significant soykafs of the past and, what it results to in the future.
What the general public out-ruled in the 70s is now commonly popular, while old fashioned values are despised mostly.

I.e.
Public opinion impact of the Vietnam war, resulting peace movements and general sentiment.
The Ukraine war, and the general shift towards polarization in the public, that means siding with either Russia or the west.
Public opinion about homosexuality back then, and its massive shift towards glorification nowadays.
Periods of darkness and dogma, Periods of enlightenment and liberation

So on, you get the point, we collect what changed and by that maybe are able to predict further changes.
Again, its just to guess and assume, for the fun. Dont eat another. Just throw in contradiction to the past, which differ from previously mainstream dogma.

The elite capitalists already do this. They forecast for general trends 10-20 years later and try to figure out how to act in the best interests of the system. For example Call of Duty was pumping kids full of anti-Russian sentiment a full decade before Ukraine back when no one had a Russian war on the agenda. They know.

movies from the last 5 years that I haven't seen
I liked t-34 (2019) when I watched it some years ago. I looked up the people involved with it but it doesn't seem like they have done anything similar since. I know tank movies are like the russian equivalent of capeshit but still, it was refreshing that it portrayed war more from the perspective of a wagner group or azov battalion nihilist rather than the typical solemn volunteer or unwilling recruit. the protagonists are fighting, having fun, killing nazis, and winning, what else could you ask for?

I just looked up all the directors listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_eccentric_cinema and all I see between 2019-now is either slop or just nonsense, it's garbage, bullshit content made for streaming platforms. I also looked up chinese directors but unfortunately that's a country where the adults are in charge so even the so called propaganda movies are serious and sad (🙁) and kind of preachy in a patriotic superego way

as you can see I'm a very basic and prejudiced person, recommend movies in that time range that I can enjoy

If you're gonna pick based modern Russian movies you'd better pick the Major Grom trilogy, not this B-movie trash. Or pick Legend #17 at least. At least something.

Also, this manga page is cute.

Something that seems to be gaining more popularity lately is sample free vaporwave, or vaporwave which samples original composition as opposed to pre existing music. Besides the common criticisms against it such as; it goes against the very nature of the genre, or defeats the whole purpose, I think it's particularly interesting from a leftist perspective.
Vaporwave started off being made and shared anonymously online by working class people with no regards for copyright infringement. Essentially, it was a big middle finger to the very idea of intellectual property. Then you get into the genre's critique of capitalism, satire of consumerism, and so forth. Anyway, the genre gradually died out, losing its relevance along the way, and around the same time an enigmatic album called "virtua.zip" was released. Meet George Clanton, now multimillionaire record label owner/petit bourgeois hipster, the progenitor of sample free vaporwave. This album challenged the foundations of vaporwave, but also paved the way for the eventual commodification and subsequent recuperation of the genre, the very thing it was critiquing in the first place.
Since vaporwave had been growing increasingly popular, this also meant it was quickly transforming into a marketable product. Pioneering the forefront of this was George Clanton, who quickly rose from a nobody from Virginia into a small-time superstar. He found success in starting one of the first vaporwave record labels, transforming vaporwave into a "brand", as well as hosting the first ever vaporwave music festival (which insisted it was a "safe space" for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folx despite selling out 100$ tickets to white hipsters anyway) among other things. At the same time the genre saw a shift away from its roots towards original composition and a more "experimental" sound, which in turn increased the rate of its commercialization even faster. Fast forward to today and you have vaporwave labels by the hundreds, endless vaporwave "fashion" (including an actual in-store location in LA), and the transition away from a loosely interconnected movement into a DIY "scene". Not to mention vaporwave aesthetics ironically being appropriated by corporations like Facebook and MTV among other things.
Among these sample free vaporwave artists, the majority come from a petit bourgeois background, having access to thousands of dollars worth of instruments, equipment, and gear. As you might guess, there's an air of elitism among them, Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I never really saw vapourwave as a critique of anything, just a nostalgia trip

fair but virtua.zip is a fun catchy album, why can't you just enjoy things?

&ltthe Art Deco enthusiast, like the devotee of Expressionism, is by that interest making a statement about the nature of his or her soul. He or she is impatient with surface images, bored with frippery, and drawn by the weird and the outré. Art Deco portrays the human being as one secretly wishes to be: a kind of _Metropolis_ robot[rix] with a dispassionate, cool, and cruel disposition. Art Deco is never warm, cozy, reassuring; it is glacial and impersonal. Those fearful of, dissatisfied with, or contemptuous of human emotions seek in Art Deco a mirror which will show them - and reinforce in them - only the non-human aspects of their souls.

It is bourgeois. But is it any good? That's another question. the better question depends on whether you're looking at it from the viewpoint of hobbyist, or from that of a town planner, in my view.

The quintessential art deco skyscraper.

>>14207
No I do not believe so. Art Deco was an aesthetic exploited by the bourgeoisie but I do not believe it arose from that, as it impacted architecture and urban planning in ways that ignored class divides, although obviously the most grandiose examples belonged to the rich, since they had more money to throw away for vanity projects and additions.

Having studied Corbusier as part of my Urban Planning research, this article has quite a few inaccuracies, gonna talk about it sometime.

art nouveau > art deco
art deco is fascist and reactionary and bourgeois

The ur-reactionary film

From time to time you get these right wing movies such as 300 and Conan the Barbarian which I call "reactionary films", i.e. any movie which is based on some hypermasculine white guy beating back the androgyne, ethnic forces of evil. Conan the Barbarian (1982) is the perfect example of this, the ur-reactionary movie

TLDR: Conan the barbarian (1982 movies) is a 1980s right wing movie, part of the Reagan turn/backlash against the 60s/70s. The witch he encounters and has sex with early through the movie is supposed to represent the evils of "free love", she literally turns into a ghost demon as she orgasms. The whole part where the girls father, the king asks Conan to get his daughter back from Thulsa Doom who is (probably) sexing his daughter. The cultists of Thulsa doom are supposed to be an analogue for hippie-commune 1960s people who tell Conan to "go back to the land" and have flower power shit. Next there's there's the gay snake-priest that tries to seduce Conan but Conan beats him up. The Villain of the movie is an ultra masculine deep voice black man (James Earl Jones as "Thulsa Doom") who has hypnotized a cult full of nubile dancing white girls into a sexualized stupor, sort of combining 1970s anti cult shit with anti hippie stuff. At the end the hippies put out their new age candles and shit and leave, and the girls go back to their fathers. All delivered by an ultramasculine white man (Arnie) to defeat and buckbreak black hypermasculinity (James Earl Jones). Essentially its the artistic reaction to undo the 1960s/70s and everything about it including sexuality, race, etc.

Long Version:

I: Introduction

Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 epic sword and sorcery film directed by John Milius and written by him and Oliver Stone. Based on Robert E. Howard‘s Conan, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role and James Earl Jones, with Sandahl Bergman, Gerry Lopez, Max von Sydow, Mako, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Ben Davidson.

The film gave Schwarzenegger worldwide recognition, and in the years since its release, it became a cult film, making a lot more money on home video. It spawned a sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in 1984, and a reboot was made in 2011.

A link to quotes from the film can be found here.

Conan's disdain for decadence and corruption aligns with the Maoist critique of the old society's culture as maintaining the status quo of exploitation and oppression.

Sorry but Stalin is a God.
Your argument is invalid.

In theory: maybe
In practice: nah, because we are all actively reaching towards that truth anyway again via synthesis. Perennialism in its most extreme form won’t just look at the truth found in ancient scripts, but as reflected in all sorts of ideologies and even in pop-cultural ideas as they are all reflections and shadows of understandings from something above

The ironic thing is that there is real spiritual power being projected from all that atheistic Stalin worship

if you want to do the high quality one you need to use elevenlabs. Its like a 4000 character word limit before you have to pay premium though, AFAIK its not THAT expensive, at least if you're going to be churning out audiobooks left and right

The gem empire in Steven universe is a universe-spanning alien empire. The fuckers literally rip apart entire planets to fuel their expansion. They don’t take just the biologically-compatible resources, they take everything and they’ve colonized nearly every region of their universe. Their own home world is located in a fully colonized galaxy away from the Milky Way. They can fucking teleport anywhere.

The imperium wouldn’t stand a chance even at its prime and neither would the necron empire. The forerunners would be walking with their tails crossed between their legs if the gems went to war with them. Not even the fucking reapers of mass effect stand a chance. The gem empire of Steven universe could and legitimately would solo all galactic empires in every video game franchise and its elites probably wouldn’t even notice that they were even at war with them.

How do gay-mers even cope with this objective fact?

Op, have you never heard of the Xeelee before?

If not watch this video. Yes It's about what factions can beat 40k and the Xeelee Sequence is at the end.

I also think civilizations like the Time Lords at their peak could also defeat the Gem Empire.

Some Examples of their abilities:
<It has been claimed in expanded universe material that the Time Lords are the only Type V Kardashev civilization, capable of making use of the energy from the multiverse:

<Even a single Time Lord can rank well above galactic energy levels. The Doctor has caused at least one supernova when needed, which produce 1045W (100 foes over 10 seconds) during stellar collapse. The Master built 100,000 Black Hole Converters, which probably harness the same energy conversion of the gravitational potential energy to neutrinos.


<The Eye of Harmony is the primary power source for Time Lord civilisation and consists of an ultramassive star frozen in time at the moment it collapses into a black hole (as first revealed in The Deadly Assassin). This stellar event was created in the distant past by the earliest Time Lords, including Rassilon and Omega (who apparently has a thing for black holes). The TARDIS itself, as shown in "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" and the TV Movie, contains either a direct link to this Eye of Harmony, or its own copy (which would explain how it continues to function despite Gallifrey's absence).


<The Hand of Omega, a "remote stellar manipulator" invented by Omega, was a device used by the first Time Lords to customise stars. It looks like a large metal coffin or casket, but it's likely to be extradimensional like a lot of Time Lord technology, with the casket form being its only extension into our universe. It was certainly capable of causing a regular star to turn supernova and destroy its solar system in a matter of minutes, and it's heavily implied, given what the Daleks try to do with it in Remembrance of the Daleks, that the Hand of Omega might even have been used to create the original Eye of Harmony.


<An expanded universe novel, "The Taking of Planet 5", features a Time Lord weapon called a parallel cannon, which could open a pinhead-sized wormhole to the core of a star made of antimatter undergoing a supernova collapse. A single shot from a parallel cannon in the book destroyed an entire forest and vaporised a mountain. If a parallel cannon were left on, it would punch a h
