/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

The surveillance and general crackdown on muslims during the GWOT was fucking crazy. Look at some of these FBI guidelines for profiling "extremists" and justifying repression:

>Spreading religious fanaticism through irregular beards or name selection
Can't grow a suspicious beard or name your kid mohamed
>Wearing (or compelling others to wear) burqas with face coverings
Can't wear religious clothing
>Interfering with cultural and recreational activities, rejecting or refusing public goods and services such as radio and television.
Gotta listen to NPR I guess
>Publishing, printing, distributing, selling, producing, downloading, storing, reproducing, accessing, copying, or possessing articles, publications, audio or video with extremist content
Ridiculously vague
>Other speech and acts of extremism
Basically a justification to spy and harass anyone for any reason

🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Zelensky doesn't have the cards but neither do I edition

Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid. 🏈 💵
Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™ 🌭 🍔

It turns out that Norway's SWF almost has more money per capita than Norwegian private wealth, that is to say, its material base is such that it can realize PDD, with 2 trillion in the SWF vs about 500 billion GDP.

Roedt seems to be doing adequately, but how good are the revolutionary conditions there? I normally wouldn't advocate first world revolution, whether by the bullet or the ballot, but that 2 trillion is tempting as all hell.

One of the main reasons for repatriating gold is due to G7 nations freezing Russia’s foreign exchange reserves after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict.

Ritesh Jain, founder of investment firm Pinetree Macro, told the Economic Times. “In this new era, if you don't have custody of your gold, it's not truly yours,” Jain stated.

A thread for exploring, and celebrating, the gradual but hastening fall of the United Empire of America.

>b-bu'muh /USApol/!
This thread doesn't focus on internal or electoral news and politics. Yes, the two consecutive demented presidents are relevant but we're looking outward at the international signs of decline.
>g2/prc/
This thread wants to explore beyond just China, Russia, ZR, etc., show us the deserted corners of the empire too.

Bring your:
- shifting international polls
- seaplanes
- estranged former 'allies'

Just about most attempts of social services for less developed economies go like this: Social service is underfunded to allow for competition -> people complain about it being ass -> social service is left to the market -> it's just as bad but now it costs (more) money -> populist glup shitto politician gets elected and funds the social service again -> repeat

While it varies from fascist to fascist, a lot of us agree with many issues with leftists geopolitically: Israel-Palestine, the arab world in general (see: Ba'athism), China, Russia-Ukraine war (granted, this is a pretty divisive one), NATO, american influence over the world in general. Leftists who support pro western causes (in modern times Ukraine and seperatist movements in China, for example) are a psyop by the CIA and trotskyists to turn leftists into gay liberals but painted in red.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Aren't immigrants from the global south who leave their countries and work for multi-national corporations for peanuts scabs? Why do we delude ourselves into supporting them?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

If you hold that communism's victory is inevitable then genuinely why bother with all the heart ache and tiring work of doing action, educating, keeping informed ect. Why not just do whatever tickles your fancy if your contribution will be less than 0.001%?

It's a question I've asked myself a lot when I feel like killing myself in despair and I've only ever really resolved that this is just my lot, someone's gotta do what little they can with others who feel the same (or not) and deal with it like a man.
