One of the most hollowing things about being a leftoid is just how much bad behavior is automatically given to you just because you want to live in a world where people don't starve or whatever and there could be more free time to do well whatever the fuck uyghas want to do. Yet leftoids are said to always have these Dysgenetic traits while rightiods get to portray themselves as the yes chad and we get saddled with soyjaks and shit. Even people who are just vaguely sympathetic to our cause is also getting that treatment and other such shit. "Conservatives/Chuds are the real punk rock/edgelords/contrarians" "Conservatives/Chuds are the real tolerant people", "Conservatives are all fit" yet if you ever bring up rural/urban obesity rates or notice how fucking ugly, the very obvious gap in autism score s between rightiods and leftoids, how much social conservatives have larger amygladas (Thus they feel fear and disgust more, not very stoic of them), how they think they can't even win a fight against DONALD TRUMP or even worse MID LOOKING all these rightiod look like and yet you still have vtubers and shit saying they want to be impregnated by Asmongold!

Being a leftoid is basically having no fucking ego defense and you have to be much more fit, intelligent and other such qualities to get ass while centroid/chud men get it easier despite them not even needing to be HALF of any of things we have to do.

I think… you don't really want people's approval. Well, you do. You want to be liked, it's better than being disliked. But you should be more indifferent to what people think of you. "Haters gonna hate" and all that. That shouldn't be the driving force of your movement. So if your approval ratings are going down a bit, it's not a big deal, because it doesn't matter if most people don't like you. If you transitioned (or came out of the closet) and you're still alive, then you're probably a pretty strong person (mentally speaking).

The point is to build self-respect, because that's part of the maturation process. When you respect yourself, you'll be more effective at demanding fair treatment. That might not sound "fair" but that's the reality.

>The issue is with the entire framing of the question, which focuses on interrogating the morality of joining the military instead of assessing the utility of having soldiers and veterans in the movement.

This is historical revisionism. Gay people had to fight tooth and nail over decades of being stomped on by "the majority." That's what won them a position in society, at least enough for the bourgeois aspirant fags to be comfortable enough to come out and assimilate into mainstream bourgeois society.

You should kill yourself.

>>2846832
>You should kill yourself.
I didn't kill myself when I was in the closet so why should I do it now?

To make an argument, I don't have a problem per se with gay rights being bourgeois, or more specifically existing within "bourgeois right." Gay identity emerged at a specific point in history because of productivity increases (urbanization etc.) brought about by the socialization of production under capitalism. That led to the decline of agriculture as something most of the population labored under every day (and thus made people more dependent on their immediate family members to eat).

That doesn't make bourgeois "rights" fake or "reactionary." There are some communists who think that. They're like, it's bourgeois so we're not interested in it, or even against it. I think a socialist position is more that it's not the endpoint, it's limited. I don't think being a sexual minority is inherently transgressive. That's radical identity politics. It might have been more transgressive in the 1970s. There are political demands that came out of that era.



 

I'm pretty skeptical of Michael Hudson kinds of narratives on financialization and rentiers. But I'm not really sure I properly understand how rent works. It seems to me that capitalism stagnates due to the falling rate of profit and not due to high rents and debts. If anything high rent and debt are mostly signs of a large amount of industrial development and a high demand for raw resources. I am particularly skeptical that investment into real estate is the cause behind deindustrialization. If anything the big real-estate investment trusts are a consequence of a worldwide larger and larger demand for raw resources due to the industrialization of the semi-periphery.

why looks for a clear chain of cause and effect when most phenomena have both many causes and many effects and even when A can be said to cause B, B can also be said to cause A in a feedback loop?

TFRP, absent anything else, doesn't really explain very well why capitalism would have periodic crises, much of what goes into the specifics of crises when they happen is an issue of finance. I don't believe Hudson puts finance at the primary driver of capitalism or what have you, he's focused on mid-level economics, which is, in capitalism, broadly handled through finance.

>>2846725
A demand for resources doesn’t automatically mean more jobs extracting such resources. If workers don’t have jobs, high rents/debts become an immediate issue.

Look at this graph https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/VAPGDPFI

Finance and real estate don't seem to be a very big component of GDP, nor do they appear to be increasing much.

Perso je suis dans le Cher et je viens de passer la barre des 30 degrés dans mon appartment aujourd'hui, appartement pourtant récement rénové et extrêmement bien isolé, car la charge thermique est absolument délirante vu que les nuits sont trop chaudes. Je ne vois pas ce qui peut contrer ça à part une maison en pierre avec du carrelage partout comme dans laquelle je vivais dans le Finistère.

It's very unlikely but since Trump has vocally been calling for annexations and Canada is moving out of the American imperial orbit, is it really possible that a regime change war against Canada is possible?
The US is already funding Albertian separatists and the American bourgesisie want direct ownership over Canadian oil, plus couping carney with somebody else wouldn't be much hard.

Again I would like to support some revolutionary defeatism so i wouldn't mind

>we could very well see European forces on Canadian territory defending against america
That seems very unlikely seeing as they don't even appear to have the stomach to defend their own territory in Greenland. But even in that case I would still argue against revolutionary defeatism. A socialist revolution in Canada without one in the US would be pointless. It would be swiftly crushed. America needs to become socialist before Canada can even think of it, and that would be far more likely in the event of an US defeat. This would do a lot more to help socialism in Canada than a Canadian defeat would, since the latter would just mean we're absorbed into a new anti-communist regime and have achieved precisely nothing.

If the US were to invade it would be the job of L
Albertian communists to destroy the oil reserves, after all thats what the Americans want


Bump

what do you guys think of this video?
He says the US would win in 3 days but because there's so many vets in Canada a Insurgency would be inevitable.
He also brings up that much of the US relies off of Canadian energy and sabotaging it by insurgents would be extremely easy.



 

I’ve always wondered how modern American leftists, Marxist or otherwise, react to the anti-Asian history of the American left and labor movement. I’m referring to things like the anti-coolie movements that spread across the Western Hemisphere during the nineteenth century. Anti-coolie activism itself originated in Chile, while countries such as Mexico and Peru saw anti-Asian violence fueled by competition with Asian indentured workers. In the United States, this often erupted into outright anti-Chinese violence and pogroms, whether in the 1871 Los Angeles massacre—considered by some historians to be the deadliest lynching in American history—the Rock Springs massacre, the Tacoma riots of 1885, or the anti-Asian agitation associated with the Workingmen’s Party of California under Denis Kearney, which became infamous for its role in the 1877 San Francisco riots that left numerous Chinese laborers dead.

The same pattern arguably resurfaced in a different form during the 1970s and 1980s with the wave of Japan-bashing that swept through much of the white working class. This hostility was often encouraged by politicians aligned with the Democratic Party, who were eager to attack Japanese economic competition while the Reagan administration and the GOP were generally more receptive to Japanese investment in the United States, even as the American automobile industry was struggling.

What I find particularly creepy and strange is how many white Americans today, on both the left and the right, have become outright weeaboos or at least highly positive toward Japan despite the fact that it was not even a century ago that Toyota vehicles were being vandalized by disgruntled union workers employed by Ford and other American manufacturers. Books such as Japan as Number One became bestsellers, while Hollywood frequently portrayed Japanese corporations as sinister or unstoppable economic rivals, especially in films like Blade Runner and Rising Sun.

I would argue that this continued into the 1990s, when many moral guardians began targeting Japanese anime as satanic or as a vehicle for spreading Japanese wartime nationalism. One only has to look at the various newspaper columns attacking series such as Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and even Pokémon for allegedly promoting Satanism, homosexuality, or whatever other cultural boogeyman happened to concern the American Christian right at the time—a movement which, it should be remembered, also preached thaPost too long.

Niger military junta introduces new penal code criminalizing homosexuality with 5-10 years in prison

The new penal code punishes anyone who “commits or attempts to commit an immodest or unnatural act or practices lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender, Queer, intersex, Asexual (LGBTQIA+) acts” with between five and 10 years in prison and a fine, according to the text of the new penal code.

“This same penalty is applicable to persons who officiated the marriage, to the witnesses of the alleged spouses, as well as to persons who have given their consent for the celebration of the marriage and to the organizers,” the new penal code said.

US 'pro-family' group worked with Senegal activists pushing anti-LGBT law

Senegalese proponents of a tougher anti-LGBT law discussed campaign strategy and mobilization tactics with a U.S.-based "pro-family" group that ​calls homosexuality a public health threat, activists in both countries told Reuters.
The U.S. group MassResistance, known for its work at home pushing legislation against same-sex marriage and denouncing "the ‌transgender war on cultural norms", has advised like-minded African activists for years.
But now it is trying to take advantage of what it sees as a more restrictive approach by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration towards the rights of same-sex couples. Beyond Senegal, it has been involved in recent advocacy supporting a proposed new anti-LGBT law in Ghana.

African lawmakers back push for tougher anti-LGBT laws after Ghana conference

Lawmakers from more than a dozen African countries have pledged to push new bills restricting LGBT rights, after a conference in Ghana that brought together self-described "pro-family" activists from ​across Africa and Europe, participants said.
Organisers said lawmakers from 20 countries ​attended the conference held at Ghana's parliament. It was unclear how many intend to introduce new legislation based on the discussions.
Speakers included Henk Jan van Schothorst, the Dutch executive director of the advocacy group Christian Council International. He urged African governments to resist ​pressure to ban so-called conversion therapy, which aims to make gay people straight.
"These policies are not only reserved for the Netherlands and for Europe. They are coming to Africa," he said of the bans, describing them as "ideological ‌colonisation" by Western ⁠powers.
At the Accra conference, Ugandan former lawmaker Sarah Opendi welcomed the shift. "Let us first thank the ​American people for voting for President Trump. The conversation in America today is different," she said.

in herzog's 2016 documentary 'lo and behold', there's a part where he interviews a younger elon musk. it's incredibly ironic watching it now, 10 years later, considering how much has changed. back then, elon used to be a lot more 'normal.' sure, he still spoke with a bit of a stutter (maybe the autism causes this), but he could actually express himself. he was less erratic, he dressed normally, and for all intents and purposes, he just seemed like a slightly eccentric engineer.

cut to 2026: the guy is a total disaster. he's completely hooked on drugs, can't speak in public without getting high beforehand, acts like a fucking toddler, can't even put a proper suit on, and constantly embarrasses himself on a global stage.

but it’s not just him. if you look closer, this same exact pattern happened with trump. watch his old interviews from the 80s and you’ll see a genuinely well-spoken, sharp man. time skip to the 2020s and he’s also a junkie who speaks like an infant, partly due to old age and dementia, but the decline is undeniable. then look at the rest of the ruling class: CEOs, politicians, tech billionaires. there's this sharp, undeniable decay in their 'performance' over time. look at alex karp or mark zuckerberg. most of them are visibly fried, totally high, and completely detached from reality.

so why are all these powerful guys going off the deep end at the exact same time? what happened to their optimistic neoliberal ideology and all the talk about colonising mars or whatever bullshit?

think about it, these guys have access to the most terrifying data about the world, they probably know that we are absolutely, irrepairably fucked, in part due to climate change, and some other factors too, and they can't ignore it anymore, because it's actually biting us in our arse now, we are reaping some of the consequences right now!
it's kind of like the roman elites becoming more hedonistic and flamboyant as the empire fell, we are witnessing massive psychological collapse of the ruling class, we are fucked, they know that we are fucked, theres nothing they can do, they know that theres nothing we can do, and its driving them insane, and they might just be making things worse because why even bother?

this could be the most brutal blackpill about the world, the end is a lot nearer than you think when even porky is scared

What if the end is near, but only for western hegemony?
Chinese plutocrats and apparatchiks look fine as ever to me in 2026. Even putler looks somewhat put together despite being rejected by the western porkies he idolizes and stuck a in forever war.

the nazis were on drugs all the time too.

meh. maybe. or maybe they're just a bunch of nihilists on drugs surrounded by yes men who never tell them they're wrong, and they have more money than some entire small countries spend in a year.

These people have access to the best healthcare, doctors, fitness instructors, healthy food on the planet and they still end up like that. And they call poors lazy for not being fit.

I have been tracking societal factors which indicate exploitation and the list is in for the worst countries in the world.

These are countries which have a large amount of exploitative capitalists which exploit their workers abroad and loosely call themselves the international community.

There is many Asian countries which are climbing the index, then there is many tax havens which occupy this list. Surprisingly not all tax havens are on the list.

It was historically progressive for the USA to have the Yankees defeat the dixies.

BUT it would have been historically progressive for the rest of the world if the dixies defeated the yankees.

only ultroids and libtards will fail to understand

Dixies were going to try and invade Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean down to Venezuela, how would this have been progressive?

>>2846140

yes and fail. just like their yankee brothers. the difference is that a dixie capitalist state would never rise to the heights of the yankee capitalist state - the supreme hegemon
