Sorry I take the practice of actual Communists more seriously than idealist drivel.

Yes, during the war they were. Then they switched after the war to facilitate post-war reconstruction.

it's human psychology. when you have been marginalized and dominated and abused for as long as you can remember, you're basically like a confused angry child with no real sense of self, you've spend your whole life in a prison where everything you do and think and believe was dictated by your masters, so you are still institutionalized and you don't really have any outside knowledge or an ability to form your own ideas about anything. so you have to look outside for inspiration and validation, you look at the world and study the people in it who seem to really have their shit together and know what they are doing and you try to do what they do because that is all you can do at this point. but as you continue studying the world and learning more information, you eventually begin to accumulate enough raw material for critical thought and introspection to be possible, you can now stop relying so much on outside influence and can look inward and start taking an inventory and thinking about all the things you have learned and experienced and questioning everything and deciding what is right and what makes sense and what is really for you and what you are really about, and in this way you build and refine yourself and become a truly independent and autonomous individual. but if you don't do that and you just keep being the confused angry child doing the "fake it til you make it" thing and believing that if you blindly follow and emulate other people you will somehow become empowered in this way, then you still have no real agency and you're living in denial and being another kind of slave whose sense of self is being completely dictated by other people, who most likely don't really give a shit about you or your wellbeing at all. this is why some black activists thought they could empower themselves by appropriating the religious beliefs of the arabs who conquered and enslaved africa before whitey did and why some feminists thought they could empower themselves by appropriating the fashion and careerism and elitism of the male authority figures who demeaned them and harassed them at work every day, this is why kids who get picked on in school start glomming onto the bullies and emulating their behaviors and become toadies.

>>2924186 You're either illiterate or schizing out; where did I say that they will be equally harmed? They will all be affected in SOME way, and in different places it will vary. Some places will see revolution and some will see what you're describing. The whole point of what I'm saying is that it's variable between different circumstances with different material conditions. Saying that different material conditions across worlds' societies will result in the exact same uncomplicated black-and-white outcome displays a crippling inability to understand how politics and history works on even a basic level.

>>2924231 That's what I'm saying. I hate this idea that the future will be a neo-fuedal global tech hellscape which multiple people in this thread are promoting. Shit's gonna be an unpredictable mess.

well feudalism died because of enclsoure and industrialization. but now profit is dying because SNLT is too low. so you go back to rent, but the rent is of a new form. it is not feudal rent.

The Emerging Tiers
Based on current trajectories of wealth concentration, AI capability development, and labor
market disruption, the model proposed here anticipates the following class structure by the mid-2030s,
absent significant intervention:

Tier 1: Infrastructure Owners (approximately 1 percent). The individuals and entities who own
compute infrastructure, energy supply, foundational AI models, and critical data assets. Amodei notes
that Elon Musk’s current fortune (approximately $700 billion) already exceeds John D. Rockefeller’s
peak wealth as a share of GDP, and this is before the primary economic impact of AI Amodei (2026a).
He projects that AI companies could generate approximately $3 trillion in revenue per year, leading to
personal fortunes “well into the trillions” Amodei (2026a). Research confirms that AI adoption has
already contributed to increasing concentration of wealth among top income earners, while the bottom
50 percent has seen only marginal gains Aluko et al. (2026).

Feudalism died because of class tensions between the merchants and the aristocrats, with the merchants winning and looting the social surplus and accelerating entropy. Everything else is correct tho.

Everyone is talking about the sg gov dating event for their civil servant but from what i heard so far it just sounds like a nothingburger event. Earlier this year, they tried to push for more leave for families with kids but TFR is still decreasing.

What really annoys me is that the world seems to orientalize Singapore in a way like they did with Japan, where they project technocratic proficiency into places where Singapore is objectively failing, and locals are eager to play along for clicks and views.

well even lenin said the proletariat was only capable of trade union conscious. and duncan does not strike me as an NrX guy. he is not nearly that edgy about it. He is more like "revolutions are cross cultural class alliances but the lower classes inevitably get betrayed by the new ruling class" so he is more of a cynic about it.

>>2923783
kind of like those haredim in israel who don't work or fight but have lots of kids and read torah all day. yeah the amish are actually quite a bit like that.

It's a trillion dollar bet that open models that will run on a $50,000 server rack won't keep pace with OpenAI and Anthropic. They're fucked without massive protectionist policy coming in quick.

"touch grass" doesn't necessarily just mean getting out of your house more and literally touching grass, it's more of a statement about social isolation and epistemic humility. the world is very big and you are very small, your personal knowledge and perception is a narrow short-range light cone in a vast and deep reality that no individual human mind can even come close to encompassing regardless of what a person does or how they live. but the human mind can overcome its individual limitations through its ability to connect with other human minds and tap into the noosphere of collective human knowledge and perception by way of social interaction, which requires a certain degree of epistemic humility - if you think that you are smart and everyone else in the world is stupid and that your narrow personal knowledge and perception are complete and flawless and can answer every kind of question and solve every kind of problem by egocentrically projecting yourself onto everything in the world, then you have no reason or willingness to listen to other people or care about their thoughts or feelings and you become cut off from the noosphere and isolated and helpless like an ant separated from the colony, or to put it in more familiar terms for OP, like a computer with no internet connection.

there was a time in the late 20th century when wide-eyed techno-optimists believed that the development of computers and global telecommunication networks, i.e. the internet, would enhance humanity's ability to connect with one another and reify the noosphere into a dedicated permanent physical structure and thereby obviate the need for traditional analog social interaction, but sometime around the web 2.0 era it became increasingly obvious that this was a very naive and misguided assumption and now the internet has not only failed to connect humanity together but is actually having the direct opposite effect and making us more disconnected and isolated than ever before which is having dire and far-reaching real-world consequences in virtually every aspect of our lives from our relationships to our closest friends and family members to the people we elect as our world leaders to the temperature of the entire planet we live on. so i do think that "touch grass" and the sentiments behind it are very relevant and important expressions of the cultural zeitPost too long.

you do realize that people who "touch grass" still sometimes are into thought experiments, simulation theory, etc. some of them even get jobs making video games or doing research.

Hegseth confirms the US military will cut 20% of its generals and admirals
The Pentagon chief announced the creation of a new four-star command to oversee the rollout of autonomous and robotic capabilities in what he called “the fastest peacetime shift in modern military history.” The rollout comes a month after officials said an Army unit based in Europe that specialized in drone warfare had been directed to return to being a traditional infantry batallion, ending its efforts to learn and use the battlefield technology.

Millions of student-loan accounts are being transferred to the Treasury — and the first phase is launching
In addition to the new support center, the Treasury Department is also seeking to partner with vendors to facilitate collections on defaulted student loans, a Treasury official previously told Business Insider. Involuntary collections, which include wage garnishment and the seizure of federal benefits, are paused, and the administration has not commented on when the pause will lift.

Senate Democrats block datacenter energy bill, saying ‘toothless’ legislation ‘misses the mark’
The Ratepayer Protection Act failed by a 57-to-43 vote, falling just shy of the 60 votes necessary to advance through the Republican-controlled chamber. Four Democrats – Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and both Georgia senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock – joined Republicans in support of the measure.

CP of the Workers of Spain, Press releases: In light of the mobilizations for the right to housing and the government’s decrees
The Communist Party of the Workers of Spain (PCTE) welcomes the scale and determination of the mobilisations for the right to housing taking place across the country, particularly in Puerta del Sol, following the eviction of Maricarmen. The coalition Government has been forced, solely and exclusively as a result of popular pressure in the streets, to approve two Royal Decrees introducing a number of urgent measures, at a time when the relentless rise in rental and property prices, together with the threat of eviction, is making access to housing increasingly difficult for millions of workers. Once again, organisation and struggle have proven to be the most powerful tools at our disposal: they enable us to win gains and to impose our interests. The lesson that we, as the working class, must draw is the need to continue further down this path. For some time now, the number of strikes and mobilisations by different sectors of workers has been steadily increasing in Spain, and the task now must be to strengthen a unified perspective: organisational unity and programmatic unity.

Democrats Have Created a Consultant-Driven Echo Chamber Review of Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative by Evan Barker (Threshold Editions, 2026)
“The number one rule of political fundraising,” Evan Barker writes in the first line of Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative, “is to never, ever, under any circumstances, speak about it publicly.” Then she spends 288 pages talking about it, and it’s a wonderful thing that she does. Barker’s insider account of her time deep in the bowels of the Democratic Party often reads like The Jungle of Democratic fundraising: Upton Sinclair showed readers how the sausage got made, and Barker shows how the candidates do. By the end, it’s clear that the Democrats are a glorified fundraising organization with an electoral department attached, one that absorbs idealism,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
