>the ideology of various anons was gradually shaped and reshaped by their environment, upbringing, social relations and intellectual curiosity

yeah that's what i find weird about it, that it all just comes from outside influence and not from within. it's like their heads are just buckets that start out completely empty and over the course of their lives get filled with other people's conventional ideas and contain nothing original or weird or unique. bucketheads.

This retarded because by that logic the ussr allowed gay sex with teens because there weren’t any laws about gay people(1917-1933)

Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.

There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

>, currently, the US is deporting with one hand and reinventing bracero with the other
i've been saying this for years but retards don't even know what the bracero system was and they bought into the build the wall meme and have been coping ever since

>>2828335
I do think that this is yet another example of old liberal talking points being disproven in real time, along with shit like AI. You "vote with your dollars" huh? Or maybe you get garbage you get crap no one asked for forced on you for a decade.

That said, the old standard wasn't big titty ladies, it was some cool guy action man. It is common sense for your main character to be of the same general demographic as the audience you are targeting, and generally "action man kills the bad guys" is a tried and true formula.

Maybe the biggest tell that something weird was going on was the way these female characters tend to look. Unlike the meme you keep seeing, they're not actually ugly, they're all just weirdly plain-faced. Keep in mind, they're pretty much never actually grounded characters meant to be a some kind of everywoman. They're still impossible, larger-than-life characters, but they look like some chick you'd see at the grocery store. At least if they were truly ugly, they might have a striking appearance. Here, they just look like some lady. Which is the last thing you want out of your player character. I wouldn't even pretend to know what the goal of this is, but it feels like its being done on purpose.

In fact, there's a beautiful lady😍🥰 of weird shit that media has been doing lately that no one asked for and doesn't seem to appeal to anyone, and no one even tries to defend beyond an "Emperor's New Clothes" situation, saying that it isn't really there or that you're a bad person for noticing. Which is a weird situation to have had going on for an extended period of time under a capitalist system where you would think that the name of the game would be shameless pandering.

OP alienated his from some pussy! Thats whats going on here

Not exactly, but I enjoy the complex schema my psychology constructs to cope with it. It's a refined sort of taste

>>2832645
Alienation is also a legal term. The labourer is objectively alienated from the products of his labor and therefore deciding on their fate, because he's hired for his labour power and paid the market price for it in legal separation from the means by which he produces. The subjective effects of this separation are conditional in their historically determined manifestations, but they are nonetheless significant to Marx's later work. In the first volume of Capital, this is understood to be the basis of the working class' intellectual and physical immiseration as "an appendage of the machine" from Chapter 6 onwards. This is how I understand it in relation to the species-being, in the sense of man's creativity as harnessed for production guided by the self-destructive capitalist drive to valorize dead labour as opposed to production for the sake of usefulness based on human reasoning. David Harvey has a good video going over alienation in case my rambling doesn't elucidate it

If you do particularly dull work, you can think about other stuff while doing it. If the work process is rearranged by psychology experts to make it more engaging and empowering and blahblahblah, this can make your quality of life worse.

Most people are goycattle slaves and as long as they have Netflix and food they don't care about anything, we will never see a socialist revolution in our lifetimes

Bullshit they wanted the confederacy to win, Prussia and Russia were both firmly with the Union.

This is how ultras talk about FDR

>>2832437
Not really.

>>2832457
I don't think they ever actually wanted/expected the confederacy to win but they were happy to make money from them and hoped the war would damage America and make cheaper goods available. However once the Lincoln proclamation happened they had to come down on the side of the Union and stop selling to the confederacy.

>Darwin did not derive natural selection through a formal logical proof in the mathematical sense. Instead, he worked dialectically in a broad sense: he examined tensions and interactions between opposing tendencies in nature.

that's not how darwin developed the theory of evolution. he developed it by leaving his house and travelling all over the world on ships and observing lots of wild animals and fossilized skeletal remains in different regions and talking to farmers and asking them questions about their selective breeding practices for plants and animals, writing things down in his journals and gathering lots of information, i.e. a lot of hard work. he didn't do it by sitting on his ass in a cozy armchair philosophizing and bloviating with other intellectual windbags. science is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration.

dialectics is correct in its first assertion, that reality emerges from the interplay of two fundamental forces, but that assertion was made thousands of years ago by eastern philosophers and is nothing new or revolutionary. where dialectics goes wrong is its following assertion that by understanding the duality we can understand the totality, that there could ever be some kind of synthesis achieved between the two fundamental forces. there can be no novel synthesis, the synthesis was where it all began, long ago, before the One split into two and created the universe. the synthesis vanished the moment our world came into being and it is gone forever.

Step 1.
<The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man – state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.
<Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
>AI Overview In the late 19th century, opium usage was widespread and socially normalized across the Western world and Asia. It was primarily consumed as an accessible, over-the-counter medicine, though the period marked a cultural shift as governments began to recognize its addictive dangers and impose the first strict regulations
<The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.
It's almost like truly understanding and contextualizing these authors requires engaging with questions that were taken for granted then.

Anatta, that the self does not exist, except through dependent origination.

Buddhism has been strip-mined by Neo-Confucianism and Daoism, and in fact given Theravada and Mindfulness Buddhism it already exists as a Trojan horse within the capitalist system because its ontological priors are in fact hostile to capitalist function.

The idea that the self is not an actual basic reality provides a powerful battering ram against capitalist atomization, and can be used as a basis for solidarity.

Moreover, if we go to cause and effect, Yogacara already has a potent weapon to alienate that, wherein each moment of time is actually fully independent; every frame of reality self-immanentizing.
