/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Are right wingers genuinely stupid or just selfish? I know it's a massive generalization (and maybe ironic because of that) but I'm just dumbfounded. It's like they either know they're lying or too stupid to either understand cause and effect, or just struggle with empathy.

Predators and Prey

We are rabbits.

We are the prey. We hide in warrens during the day,

as dogs and cats and foxes prowl the field above. Every night our friends are killed grazing. This is perfect nature.

The adults say this is how it must be. They graze us, they subside on us. We will go to heaven, peace will reign,

nature is not scary. It is normal, how things have always been. A cycle. We need them as much as they need us.

We scream as they dig up our tunnels. We cower silently as a ferret takes the other nest. I'm young, terrified, naive;

this can't go on.

Thoughts on the left-wing populist presidents that have been elected in Latin America since the late 2010s like Arce, Borić, Lula, Petro, Sheinbaum, etc.? Sánchez from Spain too since he's sometimes included in this group.

Sorry bud.

Listen up.

You were colonizers. You do not get to keep your homeland any more. It's over. Your turn to be colonized has come. It's just karma, deal with it.

There is power in Marxism that you cannot find in other systems of ideas. Marxism is a totality; if you’re a committed Marxist, you can’t pick and choose where to apply it. You cannot have a bit of Marxism for breakfast and a bit of liberalism for lunch. Choosing to be a Marxist means examining every facet of the social world through a rigid system that rejects esotericism, magic, or religious thinking.

But when you step outside your Marxist bubble, you realize: people are fucking idiots. Not "idiots" meaning "stupid," but ἰδιώτης (idiotes), an Ancient Greek term for a private person indifferent to politics or public life. Most people refuse to see the connection between politics and their daily existence. They prioritize a "good" private life: a stable job, a wife who cooks and cleans, 1.8 children, maybe a dog, a home, and holidays twice a year (sorry, Americans, this is Europe). Young Marx (or Engels, I can't remember) once called this an "animal’s life": unreflective, driven by instincts the bourgeoisie instilled in workers. Tragically, this remains true 150 years later. The separation of private and public life poisons any cohesive society.

As capitalism’s crises deepen, bourgeois propaganda (mass media, PR) aggressively pushes unscientific, esoteric, and religious ideas. I told my family I’m a materialis - not chasing money, just rejecting spirits - and they got sad for me. Like I’m some empty husk because I don’t "feel" ghosts. It’s even more exhausting to explain that most "personal" thoughts aren’t original. Humans rarely have new ideas; we recycle old ones. Yet people resent being asked to examine their beliefs. They deny that their desires are manufactured by mass media, or that history predates them. Many cling to a nonexistent sentimental past or an idealized future. I’ve developed profound hatred for the state, family, private property, and religion. My mother understands my critiques of the state, religion, and property, but family is sacred to her. Explaining its evolution as a social structure is pointless. This mental block leads to a common schema: individual → family → nation. You see this everywhere. ("States are cities; cities are families.") Most people can’t grasp their own historicity.

This is why meaningful mass political action is nearly impossible today. As a Marxist, you must constantly fight: first, to stay sharp and avoid sinking into the swamp of bourgeois society; second, to drive change against bPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Probably a way simpler explanation for why the majority of us police officers generally suck is the fact that the majority of them with very few exceptions are in general weak people that get paid a lot to not get stronger or take on actual threats. That scandal involving that squad of Texas cops standing behind the deaths of children in fear was probably one of the best examples of showcasing just how weak the average cop is. It makes sense knowing how many videos you can find of ordinary barely/untrained and probably fat citizens (and sometimes actual children) developing and sometimes showcasing the confidence to take on the us police force in close quarters combat openly. At that point is it a surprise why the most crime ridden cities, towns, and counties of that country have always been notoriously non policed? Is it a surprise why similar countries with weak cops (including Mexico) have failed to deal with organized crime for decades? Is it a surprise why crime syndicates involving thousands or dozens of thousands of members have remained active and in control over several dozen/hundred kilometers of us territory for years?
So many theories on what makes cops so pathetic and villainous to ordinary citizens, yet no one can be bothered to take a reductionist take on what makes their behaviours believably human.
>pic unrelated I just thought it was cool

seeing this graph got me thinking

it is political compass slop and the political compass is bullshit but it's still very interesting in this context


Why are the libleft and authright the most fetishistic quadrants?

and also another really interesting thing

the sample size for men (15k) is much larger than the sample size for women (5k) because women take the political compass test much less than men. thus the woman graph is much more oriented towards the extremes on all sides because to be a political compass involved woman is to be much weirder compared to the norm for women and thus more permitting of extremism although political compass stuff is in both cases outside of the norm

i must add that it's highly likely that a signicant part of the female respondents were trans women and that's safe to assume if you're on /leftypol/ and have interacted with many political extremists

and this got me wondering why cis women don't get involved with terminally online shit as much

You're not using the tools given to create democratic communism.
That is a mistake.
There id nothing infantile about democratic communism with blockchains snd ai.
To think otherwise just makes you seem rigid and doctrine and not realistic.
Like yours just an atheist christian instead of a marxist that is progressive that is rooted on materialist science.

Some highlights:
>long history of violence from which the PKK emerged
>emphasis on hundreds of years of alliance between Kurds and Turks
>need for democratic solution, faith that now it is the time
>respect to Bahceli and Erdogan’s calls to move on with a resolution
>PKK (all armed groups) to leave weapons to engage in a democratic resolution process
