Engels didn't know shit about history. He pulled half of that shit out of his ass. Marriage as we know it in the West evolved out of Catholic traditions. The Catholic church institutionalized marriage and restricted divorce while phasing out Roman style concubinage to protect women and prevent men from getting girls pregnant and running off leaving the girl and the child destitute. Marriage was a conservative institution meant to tie people down and cushion the woman while enforcing a monogamous model of family life on the couple that restricted sexual behavior. This is why gay marriage makes no sense. Gays and lesbian couples don't get pregnant. There's no need to cushion the inferior or subordinate partner, there are already mechanisms through which these couples can enjoy inheritance rights etc. In fact, most queers don't want to marry or are in marriages that are open relationships, in direct violation of church teachings on monogamy. Catholic theology is asexual and promotes celibacy. Sex should only exist for procreation and marriage is a sacrament that acts as a vessel for pro-creation i.e. marriage is a necessary evil in a fallen world. Endorsing gay marriage runs entirely counter to Catholic teaching. Its utterly pointless because very few queer couples are interested in Catholic style marriage and can't procreate without IVF or adoption, effectively meaning marriage is utterly redundant waste of time.

This isn't about the vilification of real-life revolutionaries or even characters that were from the start had any sort political context, but characters who were always meant as simple villains. For me the most obvious case is with the Decepticons and their leader Megatron. they were a toy series turned into an animated show where they were just evil for the sake of evil. It was good robots who would turn into fire trucks, ambulances, and taxis versus evil robots who turned into fighter jets and tanks. Sometime around the late 2000s, there was both a fandom and source material change to the origins of this faction, where they changed their origin to be moderately political, making Optimus and Megatron former friends and casting Megatron as someone born in the lower classes who became a revolutionary but went "too far" and caused a 4-million-year-long war which destroyed his planet

What about taking a real-life person who was not really revolutionary and making him a being of pure evil? Oda Nobunaga seems to be the best example
Many stories and portrayals depict Oda Nobunaga as a villain or demon bent on the conquest of Japan too
He appears frequently within fiction and continues to be portrayed in many other anime, manga, video games, and cinematic films. Many depictions show him as villainous or even demonic in nature, though some portray him in a more positive light.
the novel and anime series Yōtōden portrays Nobunaga as a literal demon in addition to a power-mad warlord
Nobunaga is portrayed as evil, villainous, bloodthirsty, and/or demonic in many video games such as Ninja Master's, Sengoku, Maplestory, Inindo: Way of the Ninja and Atlantica Online, and the video game series Onimusha, Samurai Warriors, Sengoku Basara (and its anime adaptation) and Soulcalibur.

The problem isn't "edgy deconstruction" itself which can gave a genre story an interesting twist. The problem is edgy deconstruction for it's own sake that doesn't work with the larger story.

The Muslim brotherhood are coming back aren't they? El sissy destroyed the country and every year he leaves fewer options than revolution.
The Muslim brotherhood are strengthened by the sheer fact that their constituents have tripled in number since 2013, because they breed like rabbits and they're the only ones willing to defend Palestine. Also they're effectively organized like a Leninist party and their persecution by the hands of the government gives them more legitimacy

True, but as a political force they are decimated. Many of the rank and file organizers are in prison or dead and there's infighting within the movement. Its a mess right now. Knowing the Brotherhood, they can and will build themselves back up but that could take years even a decade or so. In many ways, the Islamist wave of the 90s and 2000s is pretty much over. Hamas is the last really Islamist government in the region (outside of Iran) and both NATO and Russia are determined to beat them back and keep them down.

>The people whose behavior is fairly well under the control of the system are those of the type that might be called “bourgeois.” But there are growing numbers of people who in one way or another are rebels against the system: welfare leeches, youth gangs, cultists, satanists, Nazis, radical environmentalists, militia-men, etc.

Students at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, the university of Rachel Corrie, reached an agreement on April 30th with university administration to end the week-long encampment at the university in solidarity with Palestine in exchange for:
>Revising investment policies to be "socially responsible," i.e addressing divestment "from companies that profit from gross human rights violations and/or the occupation of Palestinian territories" with transparency, to be discussed and agreed upon in the coming months. The divestment recommendations will be implemented by Spring 2025.
<To revise the policy accepting grant funding based on "whether grants facilitate illegal occupations abroad, limit free speech, or support oppression of minorities" with the same timeline.
>To revise the police standard operating procedures for campus.
<To explore alternative crisis response models to propose "a new, non-law enforcement model for 24-hour crisis response that provides for medical care, de-escalation and the tools, equipment, and culture," to be implemented in Spring 2025.
Additionally, the college will make a statement in defense of free speech, particularly for pro-Palestinian students, to be reviewed by students, calling for a ceasefire and making mention of US weapons used against Palestinians.
The university also blocked studying abroad in occupied Palestine, as well as Gaza and the West Bank.

Bloomberg: Turkey suspends all trade with 'Israel’

Turkey has halted all exports and imports to and from "Israel", citing two Turkish officials as reported by Bloomberg.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and foreign and commerce ministries did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In 2023, the two parties' combined trade volume was $6.8 billion.

Last month the Turkish Trade Ministry announced the restriction of exports of certain products to "Israel". It underscored that the restriction will continue until "Israel" implements a cease-fire and allows “sufficient and uninterrupted flow" of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

At the time, the Israeli Foreign Minister accused Erdogan of prioritizing support for "Hamas over Turkey's economic interests."

When asked about Turkey's continuous commerce with Israel despite Ankara's harsh language, Erdogan claimed last month that Turkey no longer engages in "intense trade" with the occupation, explaining "that is done". He did not say Ankara had shut off all commerce with "Israel," however.

The Israeli occupation's foreign minister responded by calling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a "dictator", accusing him of ignoring the interests of the people of Turkey by restricting ports for Israeli imports and exports.

Hezbollah operations 05/03/2024:

14:35: targeting a gathering of "israeli" enemy soldiers at Al-Sarwat point opposite the town of Yaroun with rocket weapons.
16:50: targeting the spying devices at the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese hills of Kfar Shuba with appropriate weapons and hitting them directly.

Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi to Al-Quds Network: Tomorrow, the "israeli" stance will be tested to see if it is serious about entering a path that will lead to a deal.
Our assessment is that "israel" remains unable to make the necessary decision to achieve this due to internal political reasons.
This requires a greater American role to pressure Netanyahu to make a political decision that involves entering indirect negotiations leading to an agreement, with the ball in the American court, and the demand is simply to exert more pressure.
Without this, we will find ourselves behind another round without results, adding to the previous rounds that failed, and every time the reason for failure was Netanyahu's intransigence.

The occupation forces set up iron barriers around the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Al Quds to obstruct Christians' access to the church on the eve of Holy Saturday before Orthodox Easter on Sunday.

Would it be abolished or just reformed? How would artists be compensated if not for royalties?

retard's razor states that, when presented with a systemic problem, and the option to either understand it as a systemic problem, or to look for an easy scapegoat instead, the average person, here dubbed "retard" will always take the latter option, and look for and easy scapegoat.

Immigration to the 1st world? It's the fault of immigrants who are leaches. It has nothing to do with climate change or political policy or sanctions or embargoes or wars or people seeking asylum from regimes. It's just that the immigrants are bad people who want to steal our jobs and live off of our welfare.

Palestine? Those people are fighting back because they're dirty terrorists, not because they're deeply oppressed.

Israel? Those people are oppressing the Palestinians because they're hooknosed jews, and that's just how hooknosed jews act. It has nothing to do with Israel being a US-backed settler colony who is armed to the teeth by the imperial core.

Capitalism? There's nothing wrong with capitalism as a system, it's just individual bourgeoisie, "crony capitalists" or "jewish bankers" being mean and not sharing enough. If we got "good" capitalists in charge everything would be OK.

It's profitable for taking everyone's shit and making them slaves… with Israel getting free shit and able to come and go as they please. Who benefits? A country that cannibalizes its own productive base is no longer "the US" or any country at all. "America" isn't getting anything out of this. The criminal organization called "Israel" are treated like royalty while we are poisoned from cradle to grade. The ordinary "Israelis" don't get much out of the deal, but they imbibe the Jewish supremacist religion over there.

When Israel falls, you're going to see just who was "on top" this whole time, so far as any country benefitted at all. But, this is globalization - a world of endlessly backstabbing, where humanity is herded into holding pens and told "this is what you are". We're just starting to see how horrible this gets.

>>1843579
Those lobbies were led by American / Anglo investors with a base, and their compradors in the country. There was a clear line of economic development and cooperation for the interests involved - a terrible plan for the world, but you could see those cooperations as win-win for the conspirators and against the public.

Israel is something else entirely. Israel produces nothing but torture and rape. That is its world-historical mission. The entire project is pure death, so odious that no one can say with a straight face what it is for. What Israel aims for is something very different from the usual dickering for political office. Usually the lobbies are doing what the trading companies were doing, but with more local interests. Israel is an enterprise with no "material interest" other than creating more torture and death for its own sake.

He had a Novara Interview and he went off on a weird one about Gays not being 'normal'.
The interview isn't out yet but it looks like the standard Galloway self-sabotage procedure.
I sincerely don't know WTF is wrong with that guy sometimes.
It's not as bad as the Naz Shar incident but i sincerely want to shake it out of him whilst shouting 'WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE NORMAL' until he's fixed.
In a just world he'd be given some hard socialisation and labour until rehabilitated.
