ones of the problems with making fun off rightoids is you can say the dumbest shit you can possibly think of and they'll unironically be like "literally me bro". I could deadass make a joke abt rightoids not showering but they alr go on rants about the fucking showerjew.

>I also used to think it would be cool to see female space marines (I like Samus Aran) but now I know the lore and the fact that Sisters of Battle exist.
On the other hand, trans space marines can still be a thing. Like, space marines were already turned into these giant throbbling pieces of meat so they already had surgery on their bodies technically, it only makes sense to go even further and just transition.

AI slop

Many men spend a lifetime wishing for a warrior's death. Yet few in the modern era are granted this wish—unless they are soldiers, criminals, or perhaps cancer patients.

The cancer patient may seem out of place here, but make no mistake: to die of cancer is to die a warrior's death. It is a struggle to live pressed against an unstoppable foe—one so formidable that even humanity's most cutting-edge research, technology, and collective effort have yet to defeat it.

They call it remission, but the enemy is never truly gone. The risk merely recedes to a baseline of comfort, a semblance of safety. Like a jackal lurking in the shadows, like desert raiders stalking the night, like old debts returning to claim their due. The modern soldier rarely meets his adversary with naked steel; the cancer patient, however, is trapped in an endless siege, a battle waged across the very terrain of the self. There is no withdrawal without surrender. To fight is to endure constant assault—no clean kill, no decisive charge, only the grinding attrition of a war that rewrites the body with every battle.

Cancer takes no quarter. It observes no truce. It kills women, children, and men alike—the young, the old, the fragile, and the strong. It fells even the mightiest among us: leaders, brothers, those who stand as titans. Like a starving lion, cancer knows no politics, no finesse, no alliance. It exists only to rip, tear, and devour its opponent until nothing remains.

The cancer patient is the last defender at Thermopylae, the lone swordsman against the tide, the hunter staring down the starving lion with nothing but his own fraying strength. His heroism lies not in victory, but in resistance—sustained against an inevitable siege. Any man forced to face a tiger, a cancer cell, or a cavalry charge with only his will and his refusal to yield is, without doubt, a warrior among men.

When such a man falls, he does not fall to weakness. He falls because he stood too long against a force that would have shattered others far sooner. That is the warrior's death—not granted by chance, but earned in the holding of the line. To die of cancer is to die a warrior's death.

I've thought this a lot. But I think it goes further. The real warrior's death is to die for whatever reason after fighting broad, intangible structural forces all your life. That's the hard path, and the one that is fighting against the real enemy. Capitalism is much worse than cancer because it limits people's lives by a few years, which accrues to be much, much more in the grand scale (this isn't to mention imperialism).

I finally finished my grace x alunya story. Thoughts?

I just wanted to continue this post a bit, to explain part of why I'm promoting pro-wrestling.
As an aside, picrel is a Japanese wrestler named Veny. Veny is a trans woman and both quite popular and successful on the Japanese pro-wrestling scene at the moment.
Now, I think pro-wrestling has a lot to offer from a leftist perspective. Which sounds absurd, given that its original audience was redneck hicks, but hear me out.
Pro-wrestling is the antithesis of MMA in many ways. In MMA, you can be the meanest, most selfish fuck ever to step on the mat and, so long as you're stronger than everyone else, people just have to take it and accept you as a winner and sing your praises. At its core, it's a very right-wing sport. Winning is all that matters in the end.
Pro-wrestling, on the other hand, is a storytelling medium. In the past, it was full of men who looked out for themselves but the mentality has changed for the most part - those types gravitate towards MMA. Instead, pro-wrestlers largely understand that they are a team. While in MMA you are competing against your opponent, in pro-wrestling you are actually working together to put on a show where it *appears* you are in competition. Whether you win or lose personally is less important than whether the match you put on is entertaining and tells a good story. You're not doing it for yourself or your own self-aggrandizement, but rather for the sake of the fans who made an effort to come see you.
And it's the stories that matter. In my earlier example, in MMA the bad guy wins if he's stronger. In pro-wrestling, being the good guy matters. What everyone is waiting for is the good guy who will finally beat the bad guy and finally put him in his place like he deserves. There is a hopefulness about it, and hope is central to the human experience because without hope of victory there is rarely anything to drive people to make things better in the first place.
Interestingly enough, despite pro-wrestling having a reputation as being a right-wing form of entertainment (despite that not having any mooring in reality - studies have shown most pro-wrestling fans are left leaning - https://www.businessinsider.com/politics-sports-you-like-2013-3 - look at the bottom of the chart), many pro-wrestlers are actually left-wing, including here in the US.

Grovit, anyone?

Coach in the video was involved in a Japanese promotion called "Bushido " in the early 90's. Just about the realist fake wrestling ever, if that makes sense. I remember watching it on cable via a top box on my telly.
Carl Beijer has written a load of stuff about pro-wrestling. I'll look for a link and see if there's any that isn't paywalled.

90's Japanese pro-wrestling was where it was at, really. Hard hitting and not nearly as "fake" as it is now.
Of course, there was a lot of scumminess too.

No argument there.
He showed up for one last show earlier this year, right before the LA fires.
He was booed, hard. And he was booed because most pro-wrestling fans hate the guy for who he is because he reflects a view of the world many wrestling fans do not embrace.

I love that for him.

Ĝi estas piednoto el la libro "Aelita, aŭ la Marso formortanta", eldonita esperante en 1928. Mi trovis ĝin dum kiam mi helpis provlegi ĝin ĉe pgdp.net.

>>45458
Kio estas pgdp.net?

>>45477
Ĝi estas retpaĝo, kie oni povas provlegi librojn por "Project Gutenberg". Iu afiŝas libron al ĝi, kun bildoj (po paĝo) kaj tekstoj transskribitaj per komputilo (po paĝo). Sekve oni korektas la transskribaĵon laŭ la bildoj. La transskribado ne estas perfekta, ekzemple: ofte mi vidas ke la "j" finaĵo aperas kiel punktokomo ("plej" aperas kiel "ple;"). Ĉiu paĝo estas provlegota trifoje, per tri malsamaj personoj. Sekve oni priskribas la apero de la teksto (diklitera, kursiva, ktp.), dufoje. Finfine oni metas la paĝojn kune je libro kaj sendas ĝin al Project Gutenberg.

Bedaŭrinde la retpaĝo kaj ĝiaj instrukcioj estas en la angla, do vi devas kompreni ĝin se vi volas helpi, sed se vi ja parolas la anglan, mi rekomendas ke vi provu ĝin, estas kelkaj esperantlingvaj libroj kiuj bezonas vian helpon!

insufferably petit bourgeois post

on the political economy of piracy, a phenomenon that re-occurs in many times and places throughout history when people no long have the incentive to be wage slaves for a decadent empire:

>Piracy often flourishes in areas with weak economies, high unemployment, and limited legitimate economic opportunities. Poverty and lack of alternative livelihoods can push individuals towards piracy.
>The presence or absence of effective state governance, law enforcement, and maritime security significantly impacts piracy rates. Weak states are more susceptible to piracy, while strong states can deter it.
>Piracy can be influenced by international trade routes, global shipping volumes, and the presence of naval powers. For example, piracy in the Gulf of Aden is linked to geopolitical instability in the region and the importance of shipping lanes.
>Piracy can thrive in areas experiencing political instability, conflict, or state collapse. The breakdown of law and order can create opportunities for criminal activity, including piracy.
>Understanding the historical development of piracy in a region is crucial. For instance, the Somali piracy boom was linked to the collapse of the Somali state and the presence of illegal fishing and dumping by foreign ships.
>Piracy has significant economic and security consequences, including increased shipping costs, insurance premiums, and potential funding for terrorist groups. It can also undermine state capacity and regional stability.
>Combating piracy requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses both the immediate security threats and the underlying economic and political drivers. This includes strengthening state capacity, improving maritime security, and addressing poverty and lack of economic opportunities

It is, for the most part.
But life isn't always to be taken seriously and pro-wrestling teaches us that.
American pro-wrestling is dog shit though. Only the Japanese stuff is worth checking out and even then right now it's only the women's side that has anything interesting going on.

>>45718
As for wrestling and promotions, the best name in the game right now is Stardom, a Japanese Women's wrestling company.
