French people deserve a safe space and guarantees for their continued existence on loser imageboards!

Français! Ne succombez pas à l'impérialisme anglochiotte!

which is more true, take 1 or take 2?

>take 1

>being a NEET is based if you are in an imperialist country, because that means you are sucking it dry and making it collapse

>being a NEET is cringe if you are in a peripheral country because that means you are making it weaker against imperialism.

<take 2

<being a NEET is cringe if you are in an imperialist country, because that means you are increasing the appetite of treatlerism and forcing the global south to work harder for your treats

<being a NEET is based if you are in a peripheral country because that means you are depriving the imperial core treatlerites of their slave labor

It's very unlikely but since Trump has vocally been calling for annexations and Canada is moving out of the American imperial orbit, is it really possible that a regime change war against Canada is possible?
The US is already funding Albertian separatists and the American bourgesisie want direct ownership over Canadian oil, plus couping carney with somebody else wouldn't be much hard.

Again I would like to support some revolutionary defeatism so i wouldn't mind

I’ve always wondered how modern American leftists, Marxist or otherwise, react to the anti-Asian history of the American left and labor movement. I’m referring to things like the anti-coolie movements that spread across the Western Hemisphere during the nineteenth century. Anti-coolie activism itself originated in Chile, while countries such as Mexico and Peru saw anti-Asian violence fueled by competition with Asian indentured workers. In the United States, this often erupted into outright anti-Chinese violence and pogroms, whether in the 1871 Los Angeles massacre—considered by some historians to be the deadliest lynching in American history—the Rock Springs massacre, the Tacoma riots of 1885, or the anti-Asian agitation associated with the Workingmen’s Party of California under Denis Kearney, which became infamous for its role in the 1877 San Francisco riots that left numerous Chinese laborers dead.

The same pattern arguably resurfaced in a different form during the 1970s and 1980s with the wave of Japan-bashing that swept through much of the white working class. This hostility was often encouraged by politicians aligned with the Democratic Party, who were eager to attack Japanese economic competition while the Reagan administration and the GOP were generally more receptive to Japanese investment in the United States, even as the American automobile industry was struggling.

What I find particularly creepy and strange is how many white Americans today, on both the left and the right, have become outright weeaboos or at least highly positive toward Japan despite the fact that it was not even a century ago that Toyota vehicles were being vandalized by disgruntled union workers employed by Ford and other American manufacturers. Books such as Japan as Number One became bestsellers, while Hollywood frequently portrayed Japanese corporations as sinister or unstoppable economic rivals, especially in films like Blade Runner and Rising Sun.

I would argue that this continued into the 1990s, when many moral guardians began targeting Japanese anime as satanic or as a vehicle for spreading Japanese wartime nationalism. One only has to look at the various newspaper columns attacking series such as Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and even Pokémon for allegedly promoting Satanism, homosexuality, or whatever other cultural boogeyman happened to concern the American Christian right at the time—a movement which, it should be remembered, also preached thaPost too long.

What happened to Trump's freedom cities, and other techno-feudist projects?
Trump in 2023 made a promise to build 13 new cities where there would be near-zero environmental or labor regulations, effectively giving corporations their own fiefdoms.

This project as of 2026 has been stalled and instead trump is obsessed with his ballroom.

Can we get a Neocon breadpill thread going?

What exactly was Neoconservatism and how exactly did it originate? Was it the philosophy of Leo Strauss? Was it former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol? If so, why did these ex-Trots flip and become right-wingers? Politically, it started in America with the Reagan presidency, so what exactly were Reagan's political influences? Also, given that its biggest proponents were Jews, did it have any Talmudic or Kabbalistic element to it?

Basically, sum up whatever Neoconservatism is. Also, Straussian Neocons formed coalitions with the Religious Right and free market neoliberals despite all three groups having contradictory ideologies. Why?

in herzog's 2016 documentary 'lo and behold', there's a part where he interviews a younger elon musk. it's incredibly ironic watching it now, 10 years later, considering how much has changed. back then, elon used to be a lot more 'normal.' sure, he still spoke with a bit of a stutter (maybe the autism causes this), but he could actually express himself. he was less erratic, he dressed normally, and for all intents and purposes, he just seemed like a slightly eccentric engineer.

cut to 2026: the guy is a total disaster. he's completely hooked on drugs, can't speak in public without getting high beforehand, acts like a fucking toddler, can't even put a proper suit on, and constantly embarrasses himself on a global stage.

but it’s not just him. if you look closer, this same exact pattern happened with trump. watch his old interviews from the 80s and you’ll see a genuinely well-spoken, sharp man. time skip to the 2020s and he’s also a junkie who speaks like an infant, partly due to old age and dementia, but the decline is undeniable. then look at the rest of the ruling class: CEOs, politicians, tech billionaires. there's this sharp, undeniable decay in their 'performance' over time. look at alex karp or mark zuckerberg. most of them are visibly fried, totally high, and completely detached from reality.

so why are all these powerful guys going off the deep end at the exact same time? what happened to their optimistic neoliberal ideology and all the talk about colonising mars or whatever bullshit?

think about it, these guys have access to the most terrifying data about the world, they probably know that we are absolutely, irrepairably fucked, in part due to climate change, and some other factors too, and they can't ignore it anymore, because it's actually biting us in our arse now, we are reaping some of the consequences right now!
it's kind of like the roman elites becoming more hedonistic and flamboyant as the empire fell, we are witnessing massive psychological collapse of the ruling class, we are fucked, they know that we are fucked, theres nothing they can do, they know that theres nothing we can do, and its driving them insane, and they might just be making things worse because why even bother?

this could be the most brutal blackpill about the world, the end is a lot nearer than you think when even porky is scared

The Indian state is claiming that they have defeated the naxals. Is it over?
