What is 6 - 3?

Not reporting is bourgeois

I'm planning to cut down my activity on this site significantly, so I figured I'd share some closing thoughts before I go.

It's funny (read infuriating) seeing people playing the ideological purity game with Marxism of all things. Marx and Engels weren't religious leaders, they were intellectuals and political activists who wrote books. And all of the successful socialist movements thus-far have diverged from their thought in pretty significant ways. If we are to look at socialism as a science, then we should aim to test and revise our theories as we gain new information, not go "erm, okay, but what does Capital say about this". I can't count the number of times people have quote-mined Marx and Engels at me as if it were an argument, even though the quotes being mined were disproved by Mao nearly a century ago.

The power of free speech and free press is that it allows room for people to question things and come up with new theories that exist outside of mainstream thought. As such, they should be allowed to exist. However, this does not mean free speech and free press in the liberal sense, if only because neither of them makes any sense under socialism. No, under socialism, mainstream media and the internet will be heavily censored indeed, since there's no point to giving air time to disinformation, or even just stuff the public doesn't want to see. But when speaking face to face, or handing a paper you printed to a friend, one should be given a great degree of freedom.

Marxists will make fun of you for bringing up morality, but I still think it's good to have some kind of ethics guiding your action; not because it's metaphysically necessary, but because it's practical. Something like Utilitarianism, for example, gives you a yardstick by which to judge your actions, saving a ton of time that would otherwise be spent mulling over stupid questions like "will backwards baseball caps be allowed under socialism?".

Speaking of philosophical shit, I used to be a Nietzschean, but over time I've come to strongly disagree with him on the important stuff. I do, however, think that there is something to be said for ressentiment, even if his conception of it makes no sense. Vengefulness is a wasteful, childish behavior that attributes a legitimacy and humanity to the enemy that it doesn't deserve. I don't want evil people to suffer, I want them instantly dead, wiped off the face of the planet as fast as humanly possible.

It's the opposite. When I was a kid, I used to be into hardcore right-libertarians like Rand and Rothbard, and individualist-egoists like Nietzsche and Stirner. I've moved away from all that noise in large part because I grew up.

I'm opposed to individualism because I've been on the receiving end of it, and because I've seen what you get when a society holds it up as an ideal. You do not, in fact, get a culture where everyone gets to do his own thing and we're all cool with each other, you get a culture of obnoxious bullies and sociopaths who would kill their own children if it meant getting ahead. America is a profoundly antisocial culture, and it is because it is so deeply individualist. And I've become disillusioned to right-wing economics by the gradual decline of the US and the metioric rise of China.

why don’t we try and flood tiktok with theory and more. Early Anarchist movements were successful because they had popular newspapers so why doesn’t every anarchist/socialist attempt this. And while yes I know normie bourgeoisiecuck social media sucks tiktok is at least less bourgeoisie then x or some shit

Nice way to deflect. I guess those socialist realism artists were contemptible too, heh?
Marx and Lenin both came from a petit-bourgeois background, both studied law. No one in the ML canon worked in a factory for one single day in their lives. You are fucking ridiculous when you shit on academics, do you think the average prole had the time to read Hegel back then?

"Generation Zyklon" has always been a massive cope but zoomers becoming more radicalized and becoming more anti-israel is completely true. NONE of the zoomers I know (besides some jewish classmates/coworkers) are pro-israel.
If you go on any social media platform right now (especially insta and tiktok) you'll see a shit ton of zoomers posting anti-jewish and anti-zionist memes. Every pro-israel post has it's comments filled with shit like "well well well" "that _ was promised to them 6 million years ago" "they cry out in pain as they attack you" "USS Liberty" "stop 👃ticing" etc. Social media is also filled with mountains of video evidence that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and all the posts on social media about israeli crimes has made liberal and apolitical zoomers start hating israel too.

I think one of the reasons why israel has gotten so aggressive these past few years is because they know their era of having complete and total support from the west is going to end soon. Once boomers start dying off and zoomers start holding political offices their lobbies and lies won't be able to save them.

>My grandparents are like that, they have photos of Abdel Nasser and his family in their living room, treating him like a Saint. But if you were to ask them anything about actual Arab nationalist philosophy, they wouldn't know. All my grandparents know is that things were better back then, my Granddad would be provided a job that supported his family and there wasn't any filth on the streets. To a large extent, things were indeed better back then and that's just how it is for most people, these people believe and worship the State and the Leader, they don't give a shit about Ideology. As long as it's not openly 'heretical' to the values of people, the masses will believe in it

People aren't theorycels, they're not educated into ideology, they simply subjectively experience the social whole of society. If that society functions well for them they will appreciate it and think of that formation of the state or whatever leader they feel embodied that society at the time, fondly when it is gone.

Israeli army says air defences failing to intercept up to 10% of Iranian ballistic missiles
The army claims it has successfully managed to shoot down between 80 and 90 percent of the Iranian missiles, The Jerusalem Post reported. But according to the report, the army says it is "constantly adjusting strategies" and trying to understand how Iran carries out its attacks, as Iran itself adjusts to try and "outplay" Israel’s defences.

Palestinians in Jaffa denied access to bomb shelter by Israeli neighbours
Residents of Yehuda Hayamit Street told Middle East Eye they had been told the entry code giving them access to the shelter had been changed after about a dozen or so of them had taken refuge there in recent days as sirens sounded, following Iranian missile attacks targeting nearby Tel Aviv. They say the episode highlights the discrimination and the dangers they face as Palestinian citizens of Israel even in one of the country’s mixed cities, where about a third of the population remains Palestinian.

US senator introduces bill to curb Trump’s power to go to war with Iran
The bill invokes the War Powers Resolution of 1973, passed during the Vietnam War to constrain unilateral presidential powers to engage in military hostilities. The US Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, but successive US presidents have used their positions as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces to mobilise troops, initiate attacks and start conflicts without clear congressional authorisation.

A Demonstrator’s Guide to Reinforced Banners
This guide explores how to construct reinforced banners that can function as a mobile shield wall during demonstrations. To be clear, we do not encourage anyone to engage in illegal activity with banners or shields. We only offer these designs to satisfy the curiosity of historians.
Refining a Defensive Tool: In our city, anarchists have spent several months improving a design for reinforced banners. We use these banners to protect ourselves from police violence. Often, in large actions in which dozens of people arrive with a plan, these banners play a role in both offensive and defensive activities. Initially, we used a wooden frame for our banners. This involved light but solid pieces of wood, metal handles for a firm grip, and a tarp across a wooden frame. The frame was solid and a team of three could carry it. However, even though the wood was light and we made several experiments with different kinds of lighter and lighter wood, the design was still too heavy. In addition, a comrade from another country observed that the banner attracted too much attention going in and out of actions. Where he came from, you could fold banners. Another issue was that it was not especially difficult for a kick or police baton to pierce the tarp that covered the frame. Our new design, which we have tested with satisfactory results, has four core advantages: it is 1) light 2) cheap 3) foldable 4) dense. We prepared this guide after comrades from many different cities responded enthusiastically to our new design.

What's happening now
• Fresh blasts: Iran launched a new barrage at Israel on Sunday evening, with an explosion seen in the coastal city of Haifa. Israel said it began another series of strikes on military targets across Iran amid international pleas for diplomacy and de-escalation.

• Trump rejects assassination plan: Two US officials told CNN the US president rejected a plan by the Israelis to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his spokesperson have denied the reports of such a plan.

• Terrified civilians and rising death tolls: The hostilities have killed at least 224 people in Iran and 14 in Israel, according to local authorities in each country. As Tehran residents flee the capital, Iran’s Ministry of Health said at least 1,277 people had been hospitalized since Israel launched the wave of attacks on Friday.

• ‘Weeks’ to go: Israel’s operation against Iran is expected to take “weeks, not days” and is moving forward with implicit US approval, according to White House and Israeli officials. US President Trump said his country “had nothing to do with” the Israeli attacks but later acknowledged that US involvement in the conflict is a possibility.
