He went peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family

“Now he is in what he used to refer to as ‘the great lecture hall in the sky,’” his son, Christian, reflected"

The kind of rightoids who hang in that sphere are all infantile. audio rel. It's a desperate, self-assuring plea, every time they hear something that contradicts their nonsense worldview: "You're a jewish nigger beaner chink transdemocrat commie liberal! We won! You lose!" On repeat, like a damaged record.
Once you hang around with other parents and eventually come across the dumb shitty kids, this tantrum feels all too familiar.

Every major Chinese success story thread gets immediately spammed by the same video collection of falling buildings and factory accidents from the 90's early 2000's. Sometime it's not even a video from China just some random Asian country that is "Chinese enough" to ve spammed.

Like, who's interested in blocking all rational discussion of a competing (and winning) superpower? Because sure as fuck the actual fascists like Fuentes have a deeper appreciation of China than the avg. American. Even normies on youtube who visited China immediately admit they were being lied to.

I wish 4chan would release their IP statistics to see how many posts are from Langley and in what kinds of threads typically.

These threads used to be fixtures on /pol/. Then, after the massive leak/revelation that doxxed moderators, /chip/ threads disappeared. What happened to them?

It's an important thing to think about: after the recent revelation that /pol/ was basically a Mossad psy-op, it raises the question of what exactly happened to these threads and to Palestinian advocacy on /pol/ at large.

I think that the Zionists were always playing a dangerous game, insofar as their propaganda efforts on /pol/ were concerned: their methods of fomenting dissent to the end of debilitating actual working-class politics was dependent upon channeling the discontent of the lower/middle-class towards particular groups whilst maintaining the anti-establishment bent that they relied upon to capitalize upon people's feelings of disenfranchisement. By ensuring that the politically disenfranchised middle class Westerner engaged in discourse in an atmosphere a suspicion of the "left", they were able to ensure that an actual embrace of Marxist working-class politics would face insurmountable obstacles.

Some level of antisemitism was accepted for this end: they were content for people to have vague feelings of distrust towards a cabal of elite Jews (since such people were useful for other narrative purposes and could be discarded when they were inconvenient by labeling them as loons. See Candace Owens), but they were very careful to ensure that antipathy towards the Jewish nationalistic movement not reach a fever pitch; this would have the potential of a conflagration amongst Western electorates AND provide momentum for the actual, neo-Nazi antisemites.

This is just my two cents. I think we're going to enter into a new era of surveillance and opinions concerning certain topics are going to be policed more strongly than ever before. The Zionist house is made of glass and its inhabitants are paranoid and extremely well-connected with big tech.

Delcy Rodríguez Announces General Amnesty Law and Closure of El Helicoide at Judicial Opening 2026
Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, announced this Friday during the Solemn Session of Judicial Opening 2026 the decision to promote a General Amnesty Law that will cover the entire period of political violence from 1999 to the present. The measure, which will be presented to the National Assembly by the Commission for Judicial Revolution and the Program for Coexistence and Peace, has precedents in two amnesty laws decreed by former president Hugo Chávez and one by current president Nicolás Maduro.

Milei denies report linking Argentina to Trump deportee scheme
According to the Times, an Argentine government official submitted a proposal earlier this month outlining a possible “third-country” arrangement with the United States. Sources familiar with the discussions told the newspaper that while no deal has been closed, negotiations are moving quickly. The initiative would form part of the mass deportation drive launched by US President Donald Trump’s administration, aimed at deterring irregular border crossings and easing pressure on the US immigration system by transferring deportees to allied countries.

Minnesota ICE surge upheld as judge finds 'balance of harms' lacking
Menendez noted that plaintiffs "made a strong showing" that Operation Metro Surge "will likely continue to have, profound and even heartbreaking, consequences." She said, "Additionally, there is evidence that ICE and CBP (border patrol) agents have engaged in racial profiling, excessive use of force, and other harmful actions." "However, those are not the only harms to be considered," the judge later added.

St. Peter police chief intervened and got federal agents to release resident, sources say
The woman, who did not want to be identified because she fears for her safety, is a U.S. citizen and a resident of St. Peter. She told MPR News in an interview that she was out in the community in her car, tracking the movements of federal agents, and recording them on a dash cam. She shared that video with MPR News. Agents in three vehicles began chasing her and trying to force her to pull over. Eventually they box her in, three agents get out of the car in front of her, with their guns drawn and they try to force her out of her vehicle.

Coupang, South Korea’s Amazon, Is Copying Its Worst Habits
Coupang, an e-commerce platform that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), has been stirring public outrage over the past few months in South Korea, home to most of its colossal operations, amid revelations of massive data breaches and unsafe workplace practices. What is happening to the South Korean multinational should reverberate beyond the country’s borders. The ways in which it has been shirking accountability and regulatory oversight, and resisting unionization efforts, speaks volumes about the future trajectory of global e-commerce platforms and their workers. Coupang is South Korea’s answer to Amazon and Uber Eats combined. Its labor malpractices were already clear back in 2021, when the company went public on the NYSE. The past two months have validated the concerns expressed at the time. In December, Coupang disclosed a massive data breach that exposed almost thirty-four million customer accounts. The national ID numbers and financial details of about three-quarters of South Korea’s population above the age of twenty are likely to have been compromised. Public anger has brought the platform’s mistreatment of its workforce into focus. In 2025 alone, eight Coupang workers died of overwork-related conditions such as cerebral hemorrhages, with six of them working on a nighttime or predawn shift.

Canada’s elite media wants you to serve in the military
When Canada ended conscription after the Second World War, Canadians breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the elite media want it back. With Prime Minister Mark Carney embarking on a massive, unprecedented expansion of Canada’s military, the media has been publishing articles calling for a mandatory national service, fawning over conscription in Nordic countries, and uncritically interviewing military leaders who are hand-wringing about falling enlistment. These articles make the case that a military build-up is necessary to ward off a U.S. invasion. The reality is that Carney has boosted military spending to kowtow to Trump, and major military spending hikes have long been on the wish-list of the corporate elite and defence lobby.

>historians: the Byzantine Empire was LITERALLY ROMAN
<literally atheist "anti-fascist" westoids: nuh-uh, the Pope from 1200 years ago said it wasn't, so it wasn't
When Papal propaganda way past its political expiration date from 1200 years ago continues to affect the brains of people today who are neither Catholic nor ᴉuᴉlossnW-aligned, I must ask if I have been a fool all along, for thinking the truth ever mattered.
83 posts and 10 image replies omitted.

Byzantium in effect contradicts the linear historical development model. That is, they preserved their productive forces, unlike the West, and furthermore, they "skipped" serfdom (at least until the Dynatoi won much later). So the "oh yeah the standard of living went to shit but hey the serfdom over slavery thing is technically progress, that's dialectics" model doesn't fit.

>>2672623
>You're basically just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks now.
Nah, you are just being evasive and not taking any definite position on anything. Your whole post was about how the Byzantine Greek Christians refused to merge with the Western Church out of some principle of not being subordinate to the West. Then you asserted that being under the Ottoman yoke was benign and superior to being under the West. Then you assert that the Ottomans were cruel tyrants.
>Doesn't change that "forcibly recruiting"
Yes, that is what we call conscription when we apply it to teenagers and young adults. Recruits were from 8 to 18 years old for the devshirme. The system was many centuries old and it was predictable. Take as comparison the conscription system of Imperial Russia in the 18th and 19th century, where forced military conscription in your late teens was a death sentence essentially, since you had to serve in the army for 25 years with almost no social mobility.
>I don't even know what you're talking about at this point. But I have a sneaking suspicion it is irrelevant to my point.
Your own words:
>Do you understand why the Byzantine populace rejected the Union of Florence, rejected help from the Pope against the Ottomans?
>.Byzantium wasn't the sacrificial lamb of European history so the West could survive.
>Point being, they literally revolted because they refused to give up their religious beliefs. Thereby "sacrificing" Byzantium.
Whatever it means it's not really coherent.
>Again, projection. The Ottomans (and Arabs, since it's literally Islamic law, jizya) levied an extra tax on non-Muslims. These people were worse off materially as a result. This is a FACT.
These taxes were often lower than what western Christians paid their own states. They were also graduated by income with demographics like women, monks etc. being exempted. Besides that, non-muslims were exempted from military service and paying zakat, and they had a lot of autonomy to tax and govern themselves as millets. Greeks and other minorities like Jews were important to trade, commerce, finance that the sultans found them indiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>populace didn't make those decisions. The Orthodox Church wanted to keep it's own power which required being separate from Catholics.
Firstly, the Church was the signatory. Except for bishop Mark of Ephesus. Secondly, it was precisely because of the laity's, monks' and lower clergy's resistance that the Union failed. Thirdly, you are getting your chronology wrong, as the Church keeping its power did happen after Constantinople was conquered, but there was no crystal ball to know that would be the outcome at the time of the Union. In conclusion, and I am literally repeating modern scholarship, they consciously chose "a lesser evil" in their spiritual self-interest.
>>2673455
>Nah, you are just being evasive and not taking any definite position on anything.
Because I am not interested in moralism, I'm interested in understanding the past as it were, and not as the West had revised it because it was inconvenient to its ideology. I am not a "Greek nationalist" as you immediately assumed the moment the Ottomans were brought up. The "Greek nationalists" are precisely the unwitting victims of the West's chauvinism towards Byzantium, they are compelled to spin the "defended Europe from the Muslims" narrative to "save face", precisely because they internalized the West's false "despot shithole" narrative.

Likewise, there is no need to whitewash the Ottoman Empire, as the Turkish nationalists do, reflexively because of Western chauvinism. Just as I am "rescuing" Byzantium by pointing out that it was materially remarkable (and truly it was, there is no lie), so should you "rescue" the Ottoman Empire, by pointing to its golden age. Not because we want a "return", but because we want to put an end to the chauvinism and falsehoods.

>Arguably it entered "early feudalism" with crisis of 3th century.
It's interesting to point out that Julius Caesar described Gaul society as suspiciously feudal. The commoners were treated "almost like slaves" by the nobles. I wonder if our assumptions of feudalism being temporaly tied to the Middle Ages is erroneous, and in fact, feudalism arises whenever you have a lack of a (strong?) state with currency, institutions, infrastructure, etc. and men equipped for violence take advantage of that.

Anon >>2669863 argues there is no difference between banditry and a state.

Thinking about it more, a king offering "protection" from bandits but nothing else, versus a state offering "protection" from bandits PLUS currency, institutions, infrastructure, social spending… It doesn't make sense to equate the two. It's reductive.

It's very hard to argue Byzantium's "feudal" turn was progress, and the "feudal" transformation was never truly complete as the state was still centralized and trade was still more developed compared to the West. Keep in mind, apparently, Byzantium's currency, the solidus, was possibly the world's first "global reserve currency" ("dollar of the Middle Ages"), defacto the coin of trade, showing up as far as Scandinavia and India, and apparently, it held the same value for 700 years.

Is the answer geography? What would have Byzantium developed into if it wasn't for the "feudal" turn and fall?
