Argentina President Milei suffers crushing defeat in Buenos Aires provincial election
Milei’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party captured just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province, losing by a landslide to the left-leaning Peronist opposition, which secured 47% with the majority of ballots counted late Sunday. Milei conceded that his right-wing party’s crushing 13-point loss to his populist rivals represented “a clear defeat.” “We suffered a setback, and we must accept it responsibly,” Milei told grim-faced supporters at the party headquarters, his tone reflective, even chastened.

Colombia’s traditional center-right parties face internal rebellions ahead of elections
In the Liberal Party, a left-wing faction has been clashing with party director Cesar Gaviria over his opposition to the government of Gustavo Petro for years. While Gaviria wants to be with the center-right coalition in opposition to the left, the dissident faction claims to be “firm with Gustavo Petro,” and has expressed support for the candidacy of Carolina Corcho, Petro’s former health minister. …. The Conservative Party’s leadership is preparing sanctions against representatives who obtained key positions in the administration for their support for the government’s legislative agenda.

US union membership declining in ‘right-to-work’ states, report reveals
The right-to-work states, concentrated in the south and central US, have a union density of 5.1%, compared with 14.2% for states with collective bargaining rights, concentrated on the coasts and in the north. Workers in right-to-work states earn about 7% less in wages, accounting for local differences in the cost of living.

Supreme Court lifts restrictions on LA immigration stops set after agents swept up US citizens
The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical on the court’s emergency docket. But Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the lower-court judge had gone too far in restricting how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents can carry out brief stops for questioning. “The prospect of such after-the-fact judicial second-guessing and contempt proceedings will inevitably chill lawful immigration enforcement efforts,” he wrote in a concurrence.

'The Act of Killing' exposes bloody history of the Indonesian regime
As revolutionary events rock Indonesia, we wish to bring to the attention of our readers a masterpiece of documentary filmmaking, the 2012 film The Act of Killing. This documentary is truly a unique and harrowing watch. It is also invaluable as an insight into the nature of the regime that the youth of Indonesia are rising against today. In 2011, director Joshua Oppenheimer travelled to Indonesia and managed to convince perpetrators of the 1965 massacre of 3 million communists and their supporters, not only to brag about their crimes, but to reproduce those crimes before a film crew in the most surreal manner. In 1998, Indonesia experienced a revolution that overthrew the dictator Suharto who oversaw those crimes. But the revolution didn’t go all the way. That is why the butchers of 1965 who Oppenheimer interviews and works with can laugh and joke about their crimes. They enjoy complete impunity, and continue to be celebrated as national heroes, because the New Order regime is still essentially in power, the butchers are still in place. In 1998, the regime merely gave itself a superficial lick of ‘democratic’ paint in the so-called process of Reformasi. All that is brought to the fore in this marvellous documentary, in which we see the ‘democratic’ Indonesian state in all its glory: intertwined with gangsterism, with corruption, and basing itself on a thick atmosphere of fear and oppression. The documentary can be viewed on Youtube, and we re-publish a full review from 2013 below.

Modern humans began migrating into Europe about 40,000 years ago, from the Middle East and from Africa. In the timeline of evolutionary biology, 40,000 years is almost nothing. Certainly not nearly enough time for a bunch of supposedly inferior brown sand people to evolve into the superior white-skinned master race of Übermensch that Europeans believe themselves to be.

>>Evolution isn’t some gradual process
>literally is though

funny thing here, naziposter might be referring to puncuated equilibrium which is an entirely legitimate theory in biological evolution where natural selection is not so much a slow shift as it is continual genetic diversification which provides the 'raw material' for relatively brief periods of rapid selection via particularly dramatic mechanisms. now relatively brief still means thousands to tens of thousands of years on a geological and biogical timescale, and dramatic mechanisms of selection would be over a similar timescale. so something like acidification of the oceans over thousands of years selecting for a particular subset of more acid tolerant + ecologically generalist crustaceans out of a far wider population of species that slowly diversified to fill various niches. or something like subsets of small mammals in the mesozoic that adapted a niche in burrowing to compete with/stay safe from dinosaurs, which could have been an effective adaptation in itself which didnt need to change for literally a hundred million years. but in the mesozoic extinction event that burrowing makes them better suited for thousands of years of hostile climate conditions, and when things clear up again theres endless open niches for them to fill in the absense of dinosaurs and you see a massive diversification of mammals in a brief period.

its a perfectly legitimate theory and most evolutionary biologists accept it to at least some extent or another at least as one significant factor, its a consistent and easy way to account for long 'stagnation' in the fossil record followed by brief bursts of change and diversification.

the kicker here tho is that its a naziposter trying to use this as evidence of human racial differences being accountable through natural selection, when the guy who pioneered this theory of punctuated equilibrium was stephen jay gould, who you might know from his extensive writings and debates demonstrating why race science is bullshit and all the attempts to legitimize it have always been bad faith methodogical manipulation. see pdf related

>>2466867
btw entire section of this book dealing with exactly how skull measurements 1. have no statistically relevant relationship to anything that can even dubiously called intelligence 2. have been outright misrepresented and mischaracterized by advocates of racialism, sometimes through outright fabrication of statistics

mods please do not lock or delete this thread, let naziposter sit in the trap he made for himself and explain how it is he intends to defend race science by citing an evolutionary theory developed by a scientist who presented probably the best collection of arguments and data for why race science has always been bankrupt /pol/lacks manipulating data in bad faith

>all the physical differences you see

Exactly - all the physical differences you see - skin color, eye color, hair color/texture, facial structure, and all these other superficial characteristics which, from a human perspective may seem like huge fundamental differences, but when it comes to actual genetics the differences are quite insignificant. The difference between a black person and a white person is no more meaningful than the difference between a brunette and a redhead.

>Women are afforded this choice, men are not
men choose to live on their knees all the time. it happens every day.

Gay men and trans women are treated worse than lesbians and trans men a lot of the time TBH.

IMO this is for the same reason that imperialism sends jobs overseas. Domestic labor has a very high rate of profit and consequently is still in a primitive and pre-industrial/semi-feudal phase. Keeping domestic labor feminized keeps the labor private/pre-industrial and keeps the rate of profit in imperialist society as a whole up.

It's the difference between one or two escaped slaves and the cotton gin. Industrial (all gender and socialized) prostitution and domestic labor is a massive threat to the system. It's also why the system is invested heavily in monogamy. The harem is too close to industrializing domestic labor which threatens the rate of profit.

>My gut keeps telling me the anti-feminist wave is gonna crash in a generation.
It's not because Feminism and anti-feminism will keep their liberal outlook and so a part of a culture war. They are necessary for each other.

It is funny how feminism recycles the same tropes of patriarchy with some twist. From explaining womanhood mostly by men in terms of manhood to the many many versions of pathologizing(and medicating!) rejections of patriarchy, all reversed with a bow.

Welcome to my blog, and touchtyping practice.

In a way it's like when I was in highschool and it was the coolest thing to dress like a literal whore because it was feminist and empowering and sex was good. Of course it took some time to mentally adjust, get the new script of what's cool to say. But by second year I and pretty much all the boys were preying on all the first year girls. Their heads were just getting filled with all the sexual liberation stuff for the benefit of their parent's social status , but if you catch them early they haven't adjusted yet to filter all the way in which it is bullshit. So they were the sluttiest,easiest and most trashiest hoes, and dressed for the occasion. It was quite the funny dynamic where older girls (much more prudish despite being fully developed) would be "taking them under their wing" for various bullshit reasons, but actually, because without that, the older girls would see little action. Because they were now grown into full fledged feminists able to use their newfound social status of protected class. So they were jealous the dumber girls who wouldn't present you with a form before making out, got all the action.

It was a wild time, and a good referent to have to explain how adults acted later. I don't think I'd ever gotten to second base if it wasn't for those circumstances.

Partly because that was also the time where my school was having the whole "neurodivergent"(everyone is some flavor of ADHD, autism came later and wasn't nearly as fun to be medicated for) idpol stuff being pushed and the counselors and psychologists were over each other to prove who was woke-er and prescribing kids to *not* fix their problems, as was my case. Because that makes them "special" (and their parents love that, god I hated my parents). But that's another thing.

AI appeals to capital because it allows them to replace Intellectual Labor with unskilled labor who can be trained to prompt an AI with little-to-no education and pay comparable to entry-level blue-collar and service jobs.

So I think I have an explanation that makes some amount of sense in the logic of capitalism, but you'll need to bear with me here. My experience comes from legal practice and academia and not tech, but I've been watching this process play out in every "white collar" field.

The tendency has been to equate "blue collar" with "working class" and "white collar" with "managerial/professional class." There may have been a time when that was accurate, but it is probably more useful today to split the managerial/professional class into two strata: Executives and Intellectual Labor. Since the M/P class emerged as a force, it has served two functions: The first is to offer a place for the non-inheriting children of the capitalist class to land, while the other is an upward mobility outlet for the skilled children of the working class. In the mid-20th century, the formula for upper social movement was for a working-class kid to go to college to enter a white-collar job, work their way to upper management before starting their own firm to join the capitalist elite. It is the emergence of these paths that has helped keep capitalism stablish for the last century in the west.

The neoliberal "revolution" of the late 70s/early 80s and the tech sector explosion that started in the 90s caused the gap between the Executives and Intellectual Labor to spread into a chasm while also narrowing the gap between the Executive stratum and the upper stratum of capitalists. The AI "boom" is largely being driven by this blurred archcapitalist/executive wannabe aristocracy who no longer relate to the Intellectual Labor stratum they no longer tend to rise from. They now see Intellectual Labor as workers they have to pay more for some reason.

AI appeals to this group because it allows them to replace Intellectual Labor with unskilled labor who can be trained to prompt an AI with little-to-no education and pay comparable to entry-level blue-collar and service jobs. That's basically the goal. AI enthusiasts are either part of this group, believe the AI won't eat their face, or are people who think they could do the lawyer/artist/psychologist's job better if they didn't need to put in all the work to become an expert.

People say the death of capitalism is inevitable, but people like the Roosevelts make me think otherwise. In theory, it would be possible to keep capitalism on a leash perpetually, yanking it back temporarily every time it encounters a crisis, and it's something that communists must be weary of. It's not like I'm making this up, either; Keynesianism was invented pretty explicitly for this purpose.

>>2465931
No because investing in social services and so on socialize production further and lowers the rate of profit through taxes or otherwise. We don't think about it but roads, telephone lines and other kinds of infrastructure are part of the means of production. So socdem stuff inevitably forces the empire into increasing exploitation (or outsourcing which just socializes production further). Socdem stuff just causes the rate of profit to fall further (which is why it is unpopular with imperialists) which in turn leads to a new crisis of overproduction later on.

This past weekend Nepal's ML PM ordered all social media sites banned for failing to comply with new internet regulations. Basically they're trying to protect internet sovereignty. Immediately there were massive protests that the media is labeling a "Gen Z Uprising", and the usual glowie shit of allegations that security forces shot to kill protestors. If that's not enough, the "leader" of the protests is the centrist lib mayor of Kathmandu, who is a former rapper and charismatic social media poster. Sounds a lot like another Zelensky. Then on top of it all you have Gen Z demanding the restoration of the monarchy that Nepali communists literally shed blood to overthrow.

Like all color revolutions this has roots in legitimate greivances. The two big communist leaders in Nepal, Oli and Prachanda, embraced bourgeois democracy, and have allowed their egos to get in the way of building ML unity. But instead of demanding the purging of corrupt officials and the unification of the various CPs, Gen Z anarchists want to burn the whole thing down. Gen Z are allergic to any form of vanguardism, which is why they do shit with no plan, and then act shocked when things get worse.

I have a Palestinian friend from Gaza. His family has a lot of money cause the father is an entrepeneur with business connections in UAE and Qatar.

For fellow Marxist apostates: what made you turn away from Marxism?

I had abandoned Marx and Lenin when I had realised their theory is based on a massive hypocricy: if you are do not treat members of the upper classes as human beings but as machines programmed to optimise their economic interests, you are a doing le based materialst analysis and are epically owning moralists and idealists, but if you are do not treat members of the lower classes as human beings but as machines programmed to optimise their economic interests, you are an evil fascist, eugenicist, and social darwinist (and sometimes racist). Realising that, I ditched ML and jumped on the technocratic communism team.

Marxism is a window into a different intellectual age when materialism could still be held by serious commentators as unifying paradigm for the social and political sciences. No doubt there are still materialists floating around, eagerly jotting down their thoughts for submission to the New Left Review, but as time and events go onward its explanatory power becomes less and less. Marxism's chief problem is also its virtue. Its globe scope, its lack of intellectual parochialism, its ambition and its attempt to explain the long sweep of history in a genuinely systematic way. Marxists simply reduce global cultural relations and processes into "modes of production" rather than melding cultural aspects more effectively with political economy. I do not find this economic determinism persuasive: ideology and culture cannot simply be reduced to veneers covering particular modes of production. That being said, nearly all modern social theory can be thought of as a conversation with Marx.

So what am I now? Marxian? Anarchist? Do these labels even matter?
