why would gay men find women attractive?

Every loli poster is as guilty as Epstein

>>2610188
Maybe if the woman is manly enough?

>>2610191
No, gay men are not attracted to botch lesbians either
>>2610188
Hetmoids unironically believe gay equals solely liking dick instead of the whole package (Masculine body, physical features, etc…), is peak projection as most hetero males see women as walking cum dumpsters

Manifesto is a trash introduction to Marx. It's the most dated of his works and treatlerites will claim that most the points in its program have been accomplished so communism is pointless, while conveniently ignoring that it was class struggle by organized labor that won them. Value, Price and Profit is a clearer introduction to Marx's work and better illustrates how workers are still getting fucked.

Better than 80 autism score Jamal having 16 baby mamas. Billionaires having loads of children is unironically eugenic.

Are they actually giving these kids inheritance? I assumed this was a strat to circumvent inheritance and keep money to the grave.

i would happily pay double for rice and beans and the other foods I eat most often if it meant there were less school shootings, fentanyl addicts, and imperialist wars. but these trolls don't believe me. it's a never ending struggle session with them. they could harrass actual reactionaries but they curiously spend their infinite free time at their cobalt mining job to harass americans. because they are CIA LLM bots.

The stuff that the Chagos poster and other "Maoist Third Worldists" say is basically American Exceptionalism, but in the reverse. Saying that America is uniquely evil in history but when you honestly look at history it's not that unique. Even African slave kingdoms enslaved other African tribes and sold them to the Europeans.

It's basically yet another form of burger Protestant Christianity and "Original Sin" all over again.

>>2609191
Chagos poster repeatedly said that he is not a TWist though.

The fact of the matter is that Hegel ended up being right in his analysis of the state as the representation of the general interest of a people by encompassing all parties, when the focus is on the Western states.

The invasion of Greenland is planned for 31st December 2025. Do not ask how I know.

>The USSR resolved all 'colonist' question. After the 70 years of the USSR, no one was a 'colonist' anywhere in the USSR anymore.
What did they do to resolve this? If it's the same people on the same land, they are by all means 'colonists', with the only difference being that they live under a different form of social organization, one which is still being imposed by the same people.

Of course, I don't believe in magical legitimacy of land. People live in a place or they don't, and authority either asserts itself, or it doesn't.

>>2606261
Making a smartass meme very much is a response though. You might not think of it as such, but are indeed communicating a sentiment in a public forum. Shitposting is just as much a part of the dialectic as anything else.

>>2606353
This. It's a worthless plot of land with zero real-world significance that nobody cared about until Russia attacked it. It's currently the puppet state of a capitalist power, and the people trying to claim it are another, smaller capitalist power. Both arguments either way are stupid; the belief that Ukraine has some kind of magical "right" to exist is idealism, the belief that Russia is the lesser of two evils is the same logic that American politicians use to uphold the status quo.

I know the internet has turned people retarded, so I feel now is a good time to remind everyone that you don't need to have an opinion on literally everything that happens. There's much more important things to spend your time and energy on then stupid fucking Ukraine.

Watchdog Celebrates Victory Over Instacart Pricing Scheme—But Says Broader Corporate Abuse Remains
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took notice of the report, saying it was “disturbed” by the findings, and launched an investigation on Thursday, which caused the company’s stock price to plummet by about 7%. It also attracted attention from members of Congress, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who demanded government action on what he called “shakedown pricing.” Instacart agreed that same day to pay the FTC $60 million in a settlement for what the commission said was “a variety of deceptive tactics that misled consumers and caused them to pay more in fees.”

US pauses offshore wind projects over security concerns
In a statement, the Department of the Interior said it was pausing five large-sale projects to look into how windmills could interfere with radar and create other risks to east coast cities. President Donald Trump has long opposed wind energy, saying it is unreliable and drives up costs, and attempted to stop all projects when he returned to office. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has said wind farms have no future in the US energy grid.

Democratic-led states sue to block US consumer watchdog's defunding under Trump
Last month, the CFPB under Vought's leadership said it could not request more money from the Fed because the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 requires that funding come from the central bank's "combined earnings." Since the Fed had been operating at a loss since 2022, the Trump administration said no earnings were available. The CFPB in a November 10 court filing said it expected its funds would run out in early 2026.

Keir Starmer’s Government Is Leaving the Hunger Strikers to Die
By the standards of even the most forgiving and lenient Santa, it can’t be said that Keir Starmer’s government has been good this year. We’ve seen a manifesto-breaching budget that was leaked ahead of time, embarrassing U-turns on scrapping the two-child benefit cap, welfare reform and cutting pensioners’ winter fuel payments, and bursts of vicious briefing and leadership plot speculation amid Labour’s increasingly dire polling figures. Then there were the Tommy Robinson-approved plans for asylum seekers, support for Israeli football hooligans’ right to rampage through Birmingham and yet more cabinet cowardice over Israel’s continuous campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. And if this wasn’t enough to warrant a lump of coal in the government’s stocking on Christmas morning, 2025 also saw Starmer’s weaponisation of anti-terror law in the form of the proscription of Palestine Action, ie protecting UK sites of Israel’s largest arms manufacturer while nanas in their 80s get carried off by cops. With parliament’s Christmas hiatus beckoning, there’s one shameful chapter left wide open: the six hunger-striking prisoners, who become more likely to sustain irreversible physical damage or die with every hour of government inaction.

Chile Applies New Anti-Terrorism Law to Mapuche Youths; Prison Denies Basic Rights
In Wallmapu, Chile, the situation of Mapuche youths Lientur Millacheo and Jaime Huenchuñir—the first individuals in Chile to be prosecuted under the country’s newly revised Anti-Terrorism Law—has worsened, according to their spokeswomen. Both young men are currently held in the Temuco Penitentiary, where their families report that they have been subjected to torture and what they describe as direct political persecution by the Chilean State. We spoke with spokeswomen Alen Huenuche and Millaray Huenchuñir, as well as attorney Christian Arancibia, who is supporting the families. Millacheo and Huenchuñir remain in pretrial detention while prosecutors investigate their case under the new anti-terrorism framework—and could be legally held without trial for up to five years.

I respect the contributions of Mao and friends greatly, mostly because they actually exist. China serves as a fantastic example of socialism as an economic system actually working. With that said, I'm generally opposed to centralized political power, and China is very much a nation that is very much centralized.

This opposition is driven partially by ideology, in the sense that I would personally prefer to live under a form of socialism that uses direct democracy and a people's militia comprised of ordinary citizens to minimize if not outright eliminate the governing "class" as a distinct group.

But it is also, and at this point actually moreso, driven by historical evidence. The death of the Soviet Union was pretty much entirely the result of centralized politics. The fact that a small handful of assholes were able to torpedo a successful nation more-or-less overnight tells you everything you need to know about the failings of centralization.

because people don't want scientific analysis of real-world material conditions, they want religious dogma. religion isn't dead, it's just transformed into pseudo-politics and fandom.

people are ultimately little monkeys chasing social status. "i know more marx than you" is an optimal strategy to seeking social status while playing the communist game, even if it's useless for building communism. "i have a novel analysis" should put you further ahead, but it's easily undermined by accusing you of revisionism, etc. since it's easier to memorize or google marx quotes to support your argument than it is to conduct real analysis, most of the players of the game are encouraged to keep it as a game of orthodoxy rather than orthopraxy.

this is, incidentally, also why nearly all non-governing communist parties are completely and utterly worthless LARPs.

>>2608165
>as if there's a set of ideas that must be absolutely accepted if one is to be a proper communist
yeah sure that can happen but most of the time its not an appeal to authority but just shorthand for "this makes sense, and also marx said it, so you should consider it seriously". people tend not to effort post when the inquirer is just nitpicking and trying to debunk so if you want the details you have to put in the effort yourself or at least ask nicely instead of being hostile

>>2608122
idk but I think so, but from what I understand, with some generalization, the Asheknazis are on the liberal side of the Israeli culture war while the Mizrahis are on the rougher, conservative, MIGA nationalistic RETVRN side so it wouldn't make sense to apply American categories. Likud's voters are majority Mizrahi.

Like the issue was not are they Jews or not but what "kind" of Jews

Mizrahi Jews are way more pro-Zionist than Ashkenazim.

>How does nazi germany's racial hierarchy actually work? Do they really see non blondes as "aryan" even though ethnically they're basically german? They sure as hell don't see black haired germans as equals, so what about other GOCH?
uygha you shouldnt give a single fuck about injustice inbetween settler colonists but to answer your question no they call ethiopians koshim which means nig and mizrahis as still technically jewish but subhumans that arent as developed and civilized as the european ashkenazim sometimes mizrahim get killed because they get mistaken as palestinian kek, most ashkenazis arent religious though theyre just in for the money so they care more about whiteness than religion
