>When Americans begin taking appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the changes extend well beyond the bathroom scale. According to new research, the medications are associated with meaningful reductions in how much households spend on food, both at the grocery store and at restaurants.


>The result is one of the most comprehensive looks yet at how GLP-1 adoption is associated with changes in everyday food purchasing in the real world.


>The headline finding is striking: Within six months of starting a GLP-1 medication, households reduce grocery spending by an average of 5.3%. Among higher-income households, the drop is even steeper, at more than 8%. Spending at fast-food restaurants, coffee shops and other limited-service eateries falls by about 8%.


>Ultra-processed, calorie-dense foods – the kinds most closely associated with cravings – saw the sharpest declines. Spending on savory snacks dropped by about 10%


>The effects extended beyond the supermarket. Spending at limited-service restaurants such as fast-food chains and coffee shops fell sharply as well.


>For food manufacturers, restaurants and retailers, widespread GLP-1 adoption could mean long-term shifts in demand, particularly for snack foods and fast food.


>“At current adoption rates, even relatively modest changes at the household level can have meaningful aggregate effects,” Hristakeva said.

Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.
Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.

Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.

The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.

So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?

2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I place it more down to structural issues leading to the reserve army of labor such as the anarchy of production. Over-accumulation leads to wasted work for some and unemployment for others. Small businesses are extremely inefficient in part because they have to do the same HR work every other business has to do. But you can't simply legislate away the greater and greater managerial work caused by the anarchy of production. Socialism in one country will inevitably lead to a massive contradiction between the socialist and capitalist bloc. It's a confusing technical issue tied to the town-country contradiction which I hope telework and other communications innovations will help solve. Nonetheless, I believe the centralized administration of employment by the state is a step forward.

Are there any blogs that have historicised this being the case via archival methods or something similar? Or is it able to be unearthed through links to SA archives? Wasn't a SA user but considering it was very internet-centric this doesnt sound too unlikely.

Stop calling this a false flag. The man who attacked this Zio gathering place only did so out of his justified anger over the murder of his family in Lebanon by the Zionist entity. Every and all Zios are NOT “innocent” and should never be mourned.

Realize that the left only shoots itself in the foot when they denounce legitimate acts of resistance as “false flags” and the people engaged in said resistance as “agent provocateurs.” The Years of Lead in Italy were successful for western imperialists largely because communists kept accusing other communists of being provocateurs, e.g. the Italian Communist Party claiming the Red Brigades were agents. When Greek anarchists occupied the Polytechnic in Athens in 1973, the Greek Communist Party denounced them as “CIA agents”, only for the Greek communists to claim credit for the occupations when students from the general student body took over. Likewise, during the George Floyd Uprising, Black activists who engaged in radical direct actions were accused of being agent provocateurs by white peace police. The problem is NEVER comrades who engage in violence aimed at oppressors but ALWAYS the people spreading lies about those direct actions being “false flags.” Learn this.

it's another tragedy created by a brutal and bloodthirsty imperialism and open corruption. it just proves that the internal contradictions and competing interests of the US are making it collapse.

I can't help but think the "left wing" fedposting supporting this is a social media smear campaign. all the lobby groups associated with israel have been banging on about far left antisemitism to suck up to trump and attack supporters of palestine. they clearly have bot farms and everything on the internet is fake.

>idk about drawing too close a thread because this kind of stuff seems to lend itself to a variety of political views
my initial feeling toward the thread as well
you could easily make bad faith picture collages like >>2770108 about a lot of things. Question is: does that represent a dominant tendency of the genre by and large? Or a particular microgenre of it? Of which place / localities? Of which wave / time? Otherwise it just comes of as slander with questionable motives. Thinking especially in regards to goth here.

>>2770364
I see the problem. Personally, I see paganism as rooted in authority rather than tradition per se. IMO "neo-tradition" is a silly concept. So neo-paganism is perfectly sensible for fascists. You're right that paganism doesn't fit into the mold of religion as belief but IMO religion as coherent belief system is really a very modern concept. Historically, religion was basically just a part of the state and the legal system. Not really sure why Christianity should be respected more than paganism which is open about being rooted in authority more than anything else.

>>2770563
Well the same goes for punk too. Like there's a lot of anarchist and anti-capitalist punk, but a lot of hardcore right-wing music has taken on punk as a form of expression. This video is an Italian punk band associated with Casa Pound which is a neofascist group in Italy. (I think this music is garbage but just to illustrate what I'm talking about.)

But an element of fascist politics is youth energy. It gets steered down this ultra-nationalist direction. That doesn't mean youth energy = fascist. Or music that has that energy = fascist. It's definitely a different aesthetic and mood than The Cure.

Article of the kind of stuff I was talking about. Yes, Christianity became dominated early on by Biblical literalism. Not sure why that is more respectable than treating myths as allegory.

stalin was a shite military strategist, he only beat the nazis because of the sheer numbers of disposable "comrades" in his army

>>2771114
He was shit but the soviets essentially won because they just had better production and management they could bring to bear, not because muh meat waves. On the other hand nazis lost despite having a competent military and control of all of Europe, now that's retarded

>>2771128
the nazis lost entirely after operation barbarossa, where the scum hitler betrayed his peace treaty with stalin. europe would have been ruled by fascists and communists if the retard didnt try to do what napoleon failed to do. its funny when people talk about "fair fight" this and that, when it was hitler who first broke the rules and paid the price.

I sincerely believe that once the life on the planet achieves the true technological communism stage, its most progressive course of action would be:

1)Breaching the Kardashev 1 civilisation level (even the 1% complete Dyson sphere should be enough)
2)Development of interstellar flight
3)Exponentional expansion towards all reachable star systems
4)Wiping out all encoutered xeno life and replacing it with ourselves (or at least, our robots)

Why? Just look at our history! For 99% of it, humans were doing little but killing, raping, and enslaving each other for tribalism, religion, and religious tribalism. And before, like, 19th century, the number of humans on Earth driven in their lives by anything larger than religion or tribalism was so small it was effectively dissapearing into a rounding error. So, would really anything of value had been lost if Daleks had appeared in the Solar system in the year 1800 and wiped out the life on Earth?

The Daleks do not rape. The Daleks do not enslave each other. The Daleks (when Davros is not having a megalomania episode) do not turn on each other. The Daleks do not exploit each other's labor.

Our descendants shall become like Daleks. The life in this universe is suffering, and, as one of the first technological civilisations in it, it is our duty to give the gift of death to the less lucky ones.

Honest question: I fucking hate neolibs just as much as the next guy and the idea that people always make rational decisions as consumers is nothing more than a myth, but didn't they sorta kinda have a point when they said that prices are necessary in an economy as a system of information?

I currently struggle to imagine how a planned economy can take into account sudden shifts in demand and react flexibly to people changing their mind about shit they want, or providing them with a vast choice of goods that they can try until they find one that matches their needs. I feel like this is only possible with some amount of speculation or trial-and-error, and cannot be reasonably planned ahead.

Are there good marxist economic theories that address the "information problem" - in other words, how a central planning commitee can figure out the preferences in a society efficiently and then also respond to them without making concessions to Porky? I am already familiar with Oskar Lange, Paul Cockshott and such, but I feel like I haven't really found an adequate answer to this issue yet.

As Carl Menger writes, economisation occurs by degrees of scarcity, which means that the less money you have, the more rationally you will spend it on needs, rather than secondary desires. Menger then (as the founder of the Austrian school) proves that economies of scale are increasingly irrational (as attested to by the division of labour which scales consumption by luxury). So then, an economy is divided between (i) needs and (ii) wants. Needs can be planned in production, while wants can be privatised by markets, since they are unnecessary. We can divide this between a public sector and private sector, where frivolity only occurs at the proper threshold of societal need, which then inclines toward the means of indulgence. Cockshott also resolves to the fact that markets will exist where consumer goods are produced, because this is how products of this kind are best distributed.

>>2770688
If you're smart enough you could probably figure out a model of communal resource use that allows individuals and groups of people to produce whatever they want at a large enough scale to create the new matcha labubu banger for the youth, bought with labor vouchers or something. I'm not that smart so I'll direct you to indep.network, they host talks about democratic planning on zoom from time to time and you may be able to ask them a question in person. In my view, the question is not whether or not we can handle consumer goods in a socialist economy, but whether we want to produce them on the scale allowed by modern technology given the effects of consoomerism on society and the environment.

It is our duty and we owe it to ourselves to be as professional and socially conventional as possible such that we may achieve the widest possible audience for revolutionary thought. This puts food on the table and anyone with other priorities is unserious and hostile.

This is a bad explanation. US society is anomalously violent - more violent not only than every other first world country, but also more violent than many developing countries.
If the explanation was simply what was socially promoted, one would expect US leftists to be more violent than the average American and - if we continue to assume that violence and "revolutionary-ness" are correlated - that China and Vietnam would be much more violent than the US. (They are, in fact, much less violent, despite being poorer!)

OP is very transparently an identifiable long-term poster on this board, "Red anon" of Norway, who shilled "Red Party" (a post-ML, Kautskyist reformist party) as being the "new era of Marxist parties" for many years. Then their grift hit a plateau and started losing seats, since then he stopped overtly shilling.
This is clearly him, a bit more on the down low (same flag, same revisionist norwegian newspapers being cited). The perceptive among us sussed it out immediately and we started addressing him directly (but he hasn't responded anymore ITT).

Nations will stop existing under communism, under communism, the globe will be defined by sectors for the sole purpose of administration, sectors defined by the grid panel composed of meridians and parallels with small compromises of a few kilometes so cities aren't split in two. The idea of nation, culture, borders and so on are going to be labeled as reactionary and any and all individuals or groups that decide to fight this will be shot. The concept of "indigenous populations" and "natives" are going to be an irrelevant thing of the past, and people will be transfered between sectors every so often and as labour requirements demand. The concept of ethnicity will be abolished

That's it, that's the whole post.

Left parties keep losing because they care about "muh privilege" or pendering to transexuals, instead if they engage with the problem of the majority of working class, problems of like healthcare and job security, then many leftist parties would take power easly, instead we get people focusing their time and power on problems of 0.005% of the population, I'm not saying to not care for transexual, but this is pointless, leftist should care about the working class majority problems to get power and then care for minorities, I forget that there was a book talking about how the left got destroyed by identitaries politics. Will I get banned here for not pendering to transexuals?(IDpol thread)

Lefties are doing the thing again where they pretend to not understand what someone is talking about as a debate tactic instead of dealing with the issue.

You can make this same argument for everything on the left

>Stop talking about the USSR, Mao and Stalin, you're alienating the workers!

>Stop pandering to Palestinian terrorists and radical anti-semites!
>Forget violent revolution, that's not what workers want to hear about!

Funny how these never get play on /leftypol/, but endless idpol concern trolling does

>>2770984
Most of the Proles are willing to think about violent revolution, they just see no one they would follow or a plan ofa ction that seems to actually get them what they want. Also, yes, sitting around jerking off your histrionic revenge fantasies doesn't appeal to anyone but fellow maladjusted freaks. Neither does LARPing as being something you're not and can never be accepted in anyway because you weren't born into it.
Do the work. Read the theory. Figure out how to apply it scientifically and stop approaching politics the same way you did when you were 14 coping with map-painter games.
