Kill yourself NOW.
Your people allowed so much kid rape to happen that the locals eventually decided the Taliban were the lesser of two evils and kicked your ass out.

I remember some Afghanistan war documentary, I think "This Is What Winning Looks Like," they talked about how the infrastructure plans never went anywhere and got pocketed by corrupt local elites. So if that was true and generalized through the country you can't even make the excuse about increasing productive forces.

>>2813276
Definitely read The Afghanistan Papers. It goes in depth into what a total shitshow the whole thing was from start to finish. Half the time the ISAF forces weren't even fighting the Taliban but chasing random farmers and bandits around. The first troops to be deployed were taught Arabic instead of Farsi. Pretty much every infrastructure package went directly to warlord palaces or partying in Europe, and reading about the stuff those guys got up to in the 90s will make your skin crawl. The entire thing was a farce.

>the military basically runs the country
from what I understand its exaggerated, the military control the foreign policy and diplomacy, and can throw its weight to make the government fall when it feels its needed, but the civilian government is still in control of internal policy and is a liberal democracy

You gotta really hand it to Kim Il Sung for coming up with an entirely new ideology to get around having to take sides in the Sino Soviet split, he had debts to both China and the USSR and navigated that fact perfectly for the time. Maybe I’m ready to embrace him as eternal president it’s way smarter than what Pol Pot, TPLF, Hoxha, and Le Duan were doing at the time.

THE END IS NEAR

>>2810833
automation, outsourcing, immigrants, destruction of the productive forces, imperialist war…. all have a hard ceiling: which is the subsistence of the average person. eventually the reserve army of labor will be stretched beyond its limits, and the bourgeoisie will have to choose: kill off most people, or give UBI to subsidize consumption. They will have to choose the latter, because the former will leave them with no market, and more productive forces than they need to satisfy themselves. They will create the Wall-E people who exist just to consume, and maybe occasionally be harvested for organs and stem cells.

how so? unionized workers want more workers to be unionized, it makes you stronger and able to demand more.

>>2813024
I don't understand your point, of course the revolution can't be achieved by only economic means like unionizing, but you can't just chimp out and start killing people, there needs to be a material basis on which to start the fight, and global unionization seems like a good start to push history foward.

>>2813025
>people on the first world unionize for better wages and labour conditions
this is economism.
why must a labour union only concern itself with the economic wellbeing of it's members when injustices and tyranny exist outside itself?
Why be content with paying dues to a union that will barely fight for your own rights when the gestapo are disappearing your neighbors?

Thirding this, there's a reason why "accelerationism" is almost purely a neo-nazi thing, and you know why that is? It's because by adopting accelerationism as a strategy you are tacitly admitting that nobody sane would support your political faction under the present circumstances, and the only way you can ever take power is by deliberately making everything worse for everyone until you can brutalize people into following you out of fear and for basic necessities.

Voici un article du dernier Monde Diplomatique à propos de l'industrie de la guerre en France (opportunités investissements pour les bourgeois, etc.)

J'aime bien Jean Baudrillard, même s'il a tout pompé sur Guy Debord en y ajoutant du jargon encore plus obscure, mais des comme lui on n'en fera pas deux. Imagine un intellectuel français qui écrirait dans Libération et le Guardian demain "La Guerre en Iran n'existe pas". Impensable à notre époque.

>>2812869
If nothing else Baudrillard helped me understand advertising, made me hate it bone deep whereas before I was merely annoyed. We’ll see how much damage the real economy can take before sign value and simulacrum collapses. After COVID I’m not too hopeful, maybe that’s anglo thinking.

>>2812873
Oui je pense qu'il écrivait à une époque assez différente, plus prospère, celle de Fukuyama et de sa thèse d'une "fin de l'histoire" néolibérale à laquelle Fukuyama lui-même ne croit plus.
Baudrillard les a un peu trollé quoi, mais je dirais que de nos jours, les acharnés de manifs sont généralement soit des jeunes urbains qui aiment bien les Labubus, mais sont quand même bien énervé.e.s quand ils voient l'état de leur compte en banque en milieu de mois, et des vieux qui ne se reconnaissent pas vraiment dans la société actuelle comparée à l'état d'insouciance qu'ils avaient après le baby-boom et une économie en pleine croissance, et ceux au milieu qui ne gagnent pas assez de thunes pendant que plusieurs potes à eux se sont mariés et ont une existence de classe moyenne confortable (de plus de plus dur à avoir de nos jours).
Quand on ne peut plus s'acheter le signe, le signe nous fout le seum, pour faire simple. Et on se déchaîne sur des signes de pauvres comme la Palestine ou un simple gilet jaune.

Supreme court allows abortion pill mifepristone to continue to be available by mail
The decision came nearly a half hour after the court missed its own 5pm EST deadline. Louisiana has no standing to challenge mail-order abortion, the court found, sending the case back to the fifth circuit. The suit is expected to return to the court on an official appeal, instead of emergency requests from drug manufacturers, in another term.

==Muslim American groups say Republicans are weaponizing congressional hearings=
Muslim ​American groups said congressional hearings that Republican lawmakers cast as aimed at making the U.S. "sharia-free" ‌are being weaponized against Muslim minorities in the United States by stoking fear against them. Republicans, who hold a majority in both chambers of Congress, titled a Wednesday hearing by a House Judiciary Subcommittee as "Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam and ​Sharia Law are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution." A similar hearing was also held in February.

Housing ourselves and others: 50 years of the Advisory Service for Squatters
Last October, the Advisory Service for Squatters celebrated its 50th anniversary, though squatting has been around much longer. In October 2024, we published the 15th edition of the famous Squatters Handbook, which had to be more detailed and complex than earlier editions. Squatting used to be a mass movement; a way for almost anyone in need to house themselves or make space for social use, against the domination of buildings by money and power. But after decades of attacks, sacred property values have been gradually restored, patrolled by the law and the increasingly bloated security industry. In 2012, a law was passed to criminalise squatting in empty residential buildings in England and Wales.

Indian communist parties suffer historic defeat: how did we get here?
The April-May state elections were an historic turning point in Indian politics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist BJP conquered West Bengal, while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) lost control of Kerala. For the first time since 1977, not a single Indian state will be led by a communist party. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) – the largest and, in words, the most radical of the two main communist parties – described the results in Kerala as a “serious setback.” This is something of an understatement. The Indian National Congress – the main party of Indian capitalism – won 63 seats. Its allies in the United Democratic Front (UDF) won another 39, giving the UDF 102 of the 140 seats in Kerala’s state assembly. Meanwhile, the vote share for the CPI(M)-led coalition of four parties, including the Communist Party of India (CPI), fell by 12 percent. These results are nothing short of a catastrophe. However, this did not come out of the blue. It is the culmination of decades of decline for India’s communist parties, which have abandoned the ideas and methods of Marx and Lenin in favour of criminal class collaborationism. Let us look at the lessons for the working class and youth today.

>killing two cows is worse than killing one cow.
Since you believe torturing and killing animals is bad, are you vegan? If not, why? If killing two cows is worse than killing one, then killing none is the best, is it not?

>>2812023
>one guy
Abusing animals is in their job description.

>>2812031
partially because i am a lazy, flawed person who is good at compartmentalizing (this is of course 99% of the practical reason), partially because i am a pedant who judges that buying discounted meat (i am also a cheapskate) kills no cows (the killing comes before the selling) and that a structural resolution is necessary (and i can contribute to a structural resolution by defending vegans online while quietly continuing to eat meat and by preaching the gospel of "just increase the price of meat" - obviously i undermine the first part by being honest with you, but here we are.), and partially because i have a calvinist streak and so have always been at ease with the idea that i'm mired in sin (and suspicious of meat-eaters instinctive desire to defend themselves or rationalize why obvious wrongdoing is actually fine, rather than to accept their fractional involvement in immorality and with it, the generally evil state of the world.)

>utilitarianism
wow cool ethical framework, where'd you find it? philosophy 101? you dumbass. you basic bitch.

utilitarianism is the mark of the pseud. morons use it when they're out of their depth shortly before losing. tim pool does it constantly. one cow feeds a lot of people. if killing one cow feeds many people it must be good. killing two must be even better!

it gets proved over and over that vegans don't care about animals enough to do proper scholarship, and prefer to post torture porn which is fast, cheap, and cathartic. you guys have consistently failed to prove that veganism isn't ascetic moralism, and that ending meat consumption is even a worthy goal.

hell, I've been begging for proof of the environmental benefits that isn't: vegan resource use = resource use - livestock resource use. or economic proof that isn't based on imperial core net importers like europe or north america.

stupid fucking moralist fucking reductive arguments that don't quantify anything and abuse outliers are worthless. you are worthless. go eat more processed vegan slop from israel you mindless bovine.
