/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

In 2024, somebody posted a clip of a somebody making the point that a trans woman whi didn’t disclose their gender transition status before having sex with a man was being deceptive and thus was raping him, which some leftists found to be controversial: https://xcancel.com/secondbyfarce/status/1852772181073445357

Some here may find the position of the guy in the video to be disconcerting and triggering, but within the context of consent in sexual intimacy, he is right since he is merely applying the logic of rape-as-lack-of-consent to its logical conclusion.

Because let’s face it: Consent, as pointed out by figures such as Harry Hay and Michel Foucault, is just liberal contract theory as applied to sex, and a contract is made void if you enter under it under false pretenses, and let’s not pretend that contracts are made in a vacuum, as whether a contract is or isn’t valid isn’t a neutral judgement made by an impartial figure, as much as being done by the powers that be (e.g., the state) under dominant or bourgeois cultural diktats.
So unless you think consent shouldn’t be absolute when it comes to sexual relations, then a trans woman having sex with a cishet man without disclosing “her” pre-transition gender is rape as much as sex by deception is rape, and neither are criminalised even in the most feminist countries like Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, and France. So what does it say about consent theory if not even the most feminist countries on Earth criminalised sex by deception as rape?

Then of course, there’s the issue of the AoC, a draconian and absolutist bourgeois piece of legislation used by the capitalist bourgeoisie to morally discipline the working class into anti-proletarian bourgeois morality since the days of William T Stead’s infamous yellow press journalism. In this case, a person under the magic age line cannot (legally) consent to sex with someone above the magic age line. Common idealist talking points often allude to an inconsistent and arbitrary notion of “mental maturity” that is heavily subjective depending on who uses it, whilst obfuscating the meat of the issue: It’s not that people below the magic age line are incapable of being willing sexual and/or romantic partners, it’s just that the state decided that the magic age line makes the willingness of the Post too long.

Unless men are maddened in the battlefield they cannot stand it to hear appeals for help and not respond to them. The hero goes, and what the hero does, all feel they ought to have done as well. The sophisms of the brain cannot resist the mutual aid feeling, because this feeling has been nurtured by thousands of years of human social life and hundreds of thousands of years of prehuman life in societies.

In the US when I hear a defense of our founding fathers who owned slaves, particularly Jefferson and Washington, I always hear that morals were just different back then and that you basically can’t expect these people to know any better in 1776. This is stupid.

Morality is a constant. You know when you’re harming someone or inconveniencing them. You should think of how they feel about it and you should judge particularly impactful interactions for yourself and others from as many angles as possible as many times as possible. Don’t be neurotic, but hearing the screams of someone being whipped shouldn’t take a struggle session and psychological damage to evoke emotions over. Ruminating on all the memories that stick out we which ones we could’ve and should’ve acted better in. It’s a natural, gut instinct that some defective people may be born without, but it’s a common factor that should be the basis for society.

This is very vague, I’ve only described a notion of what’s “moral” or “not moral” and these categories do need to be demystified, but the constant shifting and adjusting for moral shores is the job of legislatures. I know many will come and start posing moral hypotheticals which I’ll be happy to answer, but in a world where were giving back to the billionaires directly without even bothering to mask it, giving back to foreign proxy’s with shrinking domestic protections, and giving back to politicians, cops and even criminals willing to abuse the courts system without any consideration or efficiency for the people making the system run, I want to focus on at least starting to round the edges.

I know this places namesake is 4chan. I see the reading list contains antisemitic texts, not just chapters from Bakunin, but shit like The Jewish Question and a section on German Idealism. I’m not an idiot, but clearly you’re all here because you feel something that keeps you off platforms like instagram and twitter and yet a compulsion to strive for better than 4chan.

I feel stupid. The early bolshevik + dark features + beady sampaku eyes with the glasses fooled me.
The more i read his wikipedia page the more obvious him being couped was the worst event for the USSR, he was the best guy for the job, even better than pre-dementia Breznhev, pedophile or not. Lots of great man of history were pedophiles anyway.

Japan is nowadays seen as the lap dog of the USA. Not a threat unless the USA commands it. But there are some similarities to the past. The US sanctioned Japan in the early 1900s, one of the reasons that pushed Japan to the war. Now the US is forcing Japan to invest more in the army, thus raising taxes and burdening the population. Recently the US demanded Japan $550 billion for nothing in return. This is raw power. The US is pushing Japan towards a path with no exit.

The nationalism and racial myth survived WW2, and the Japanese government has steadily maintained them. Up to this day, the Japanese population believe in the uniqueness and superiority of the Japanese race and culture. As such, Japan has rejected foreigners, choosing racial purity over survival.

All of this along with the severely worsening living and economic conditions is pushing Japan to choosing between obeying and dying, or disobeying and starting a war, similar to WW2. Any path they choose is basically suicidal.

To avoid a pacific war theater, the US must stop abusing Japan and offer some support. This is one of the tasks of the American left. Don’t ignore Japan!

Français! Ne succombez pas à l'impérialisme anglochiotte!

50% truth combined with 50% untruth equals 100% annihilation of reality.

every point on the line between "the world is round" and "the world is flat" is just as absurd and stupid as "the world is flat".

there can never be any convenient model or algorithm or formula for knowing the truth of the world without the application of thought. there are no substitutes for thought.

any time we rely on shortcuts, some kind of simplified universal model, to understand reality instead of conscious thought, rigorous disciplined mental effort, we are practicing religion. god is religion, teleology is religion, dialectics is religion, LLMs are religion.

marx believed that religion is the opiate of the uneducated commoners and that religion only comes from traditional churches and priests, but religion can take infinite possible forms and anyone can fall victim to the allure of a simple answer.

Bolivian Justice Nullifies Arrest Orders Against Union Leaders
The Second Anti-Corruption and Violence Against Women Sentencing Court of La Paz ruled this Friday, May 29, 2026, to nullify the judicial capture orders issued against Mario Argollo, Secretary General of the Bolivian Workers Union (COB), and Vicente Salazar, Executive leader of the Túpac Katari Peasant Federation. This judicial decision invalidates the previous arrest mandates that had forced both prominent union leaders into hiding during the massive social mobilization demanding the immediate resignation of President Rodrigo Paz Pereira and an end to his administration’s neoliberal policies.

National Registry fails to dispel repeated fraud concerns of Colombia’s left
The software continues to be the property of the controversial company Thomas Greg & Sons, which is owned by two convicted fraudsters. Because this company has claimed that its software is a trade secret, IT experts of the Historic Pact have not been allowed to conduct audits that would allow them to confirm the software’s code can’t be altered. “Without a proper audit of the election software, there can be no full confidence in the process,” said the political party in a statement earlier this month.

What are your thoughts on this video? I personally think nits not that good. At the start he seems like he almost gets the Marxist analysis of the process from feudalism to early capitalism to imperialism but because he’s a liberal he doesn’t get it. He also calls New Zealand “the only Rich agricultural nation” ignoring the United States because the us has a bit more induster per % which is stupid. But what are your thoughts?
