Well done 10/10

Its insane how you can just say something completely innocuous or inquire about someghing out of curiousity and there is a non zero chance it will trigger some mentally unstable individuals PTSD about that specific subject and if it happens irl they could legitimately stab you to death then and there. Let this thread be a reminder to people here that no matter how ordinary something you say is, no matter where you are, the wrong person could hear it and shit could go from 0-100 in seconds.

it's not just what he thinks, they listed that as a reason, that he supported "antisemitic conspiracy theories" because he doesn't buy the official explanation for the Nth israeli false flag attack
then there is the gender thing

imo the strongest point they have against him is the acp shit: he apparently liked and retweeted some of their stuff. on the other hand, he has made more than one video condemning and disproving acp nonsense, like his iconic video explaining that baristas are, in fact, NOT bourgeois:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEsuQyyv5hc

he clearly doesn't agree with them on anything, old man just saw the word "communist party" and smashed the like and retweet button. it's insane that they would expel someone over any of this, let alone someone of his caliber. this feels like some clique inside had a grudge against him and just decided to throw shit at the wall and see if it sticks

Epikurius was not an atheist, he believed in the gods, although thought of them as non-interventionist.

Modern atheism did not exist in pre-modern times, it would have been seen as a mental illness.

>believed in the gods, although thought of them as non-interventionist.
What is the difference between them being fake or real if they have no impact in the real world

there are two diametrically-opposed conceptions of god that people have had since day one and continue to have to this day: god as the world, and god as a man. people either use "god" as a metaphor for the vast untenable universe and all of its systems and complexities and calamities that are beyond human control, or "god" as a metaphor for individual human greatness - the master, the ruler, the conqueror, the proprietor, etc. the fundamental schism between all human philosophy is between epistemic humility and anthropocentric hubris and these two opposing views are irreconcileable by definition and the war never ends.

personally i chalk it up to basic human psychology, specifically intellectual/emotional maturity. a child is egocentric and thinks that the world revolves around them and everything in the world must start and stop at their convenience, a child is always talking without thinking and always in a hurry and cannot wait for anything and feels the need to act on every impulse immediately and always wants to take shortcuts and avoid difficulty and tediousness and complain loudly about every hardship they face. a mature adult is humble and understands and accepts their relative insignificance and that it's not all about them and it's not their place to be in control, a mature adult is silent and patient and restrained and disciplined and bears their burdens and hardships without complaint.

The three basic essential starter books that I would advise are the Communist Manifesto https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Manifesto.pdf , the State and Revolution https://www.marxists.org/ebooks/lenin/state-and-revolution.pdf , and the German Ideology https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/Marx_The_German_Ideology.pdf , as the Communist manifesto provides a very basic overview of Marxism that is pretty understandable for beginners, the State and Revolution provides an In-depth explanation of the Marxist conception of the State as a Dictatorship of one Class over another, along with the critique of reformist Social Democracy (ie. Karl Kautsky) and a clarification of the fact that Socialism can only be established through a armed Revolution that overthrows the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie and replaces it with a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, which is necessary to understand if you want to be a Real Communist (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist), and the German Ideology provides the strongest critique of Idealism combined with the most In-depth articulation of the Materialist Conception of History, in particular the core concepts of the Mode of Production (ie. Primitive Communal, Ancient, Feudal, Capitalist, Socialist, and Communist) and the Base-Superstructure Model (the Marxist conception of Culture, including Religion, Art, Law, Politics, Government, Gender roles, Nationalism, Philosophy, Metaphysics, etc. as an Ideological Superstructure used by the Ruling Class to reinforce the Material Base, ie. Mode of Production, while continuously being shaped by it in a mutually reinforcing dialectical relationship) that are required to grasp the Dialectical Materialism that makes Marxism the Universal/Immortal Scientific Theory of History, Politics, Society, Economics, Culture, etc., and after reading these three texts, then I would move onto Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism Post too long.

Voters favor Democrats on key issues but lack faith in either party to solve problems: AP-NORC poll
Voters are deeply dissatisfied with President Donald Trump and his Republican Party heading into the Nov. 3 midterm elections, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, and Democrats have built a clear advantage on pressing issues such as the cost of living and healthcare over just a few months. But the survey also points to a bigger problem for both parties: Few registered voters think either party is able to solve important problems or help Americans like them.

US FDA closes cyclospora lettuce parasite probe, finds strong link to Taylor Farms Mexico
FDA said its investigation could not definitively determine how the contamination happened, but two samples showed cyclospora was present in the environment where lettuce was grown and processed. One sample was found in a tank that held outgoing ​wastewater at Taylor Farms de Mexico's processing facility and the other was in a drainage ditch at an iceberg lettuce grower, it said.

Temecula school board members accuse colleague of placing a listening device under their desk
The allegation is the latest controversy for a school board that has drawn attention in recent years over disputes involving book bans, flag bans, arguing at meetings, and even allegations of sexual harassment among board members. According to board members Steven Schwartz and Emil Barham, surveillance video recorded near the end of a closed session meeting on Sept. 22 shows board member Melinda Anderson walking to the desk used by Schwartz and Barham, pulling out an electronic device and attaching it underneath the table.

Brazil’s Communists ahead of the elections: Alliance with Lula or political independence?
With Brazil heading to the polls in October, three communist parties are approaching the elections from sharply different positions. The Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) remains fully committed to the re-election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the PT-led coalition, while the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) is presenting its own presidential ticket headed by Edmilson Costa, and the Revolutionary Communist Party (PCBR) is calling for an independent revolutionary left position outside both the Bolsonarist camp and the Lula-led broad front. For the PCdoB, the immediate priority is defeating the far right and securing another Lula government. The party has officially endorsed the Lula-Alckmin ticket and is campaigning inside the Brasil da Esperança federation with the PT and PV, arguing that a new Lula term should deepen national development, reindustrialization and social policies. Its leaders present Bolsonarism as a neofascist, pro-US force and frame the election largely as a confrontation between the democratic-popular camp and the far right. That strategy, however, also exposes the central contradiction of the PCdoB’s electoral line: for years it has subordinated its communist identity to alliances led by the PT and to the management of capitalism through broad coalitions. Its 2026 campaign again ties communist activity to Lula’s re-election rather than to an independent communist presidential project. From a class standpoint, this leaves unresolved the question of whether repeated support for social-democratic and social-liberal governments can produce a genuinely independent political pole for the working class.

>Poll: China a more positive influence than US in Latin America
>The 2026 Latinobarómetro survey showed that for the first time since the annual survey began in 1995, China is seen as a more benign force than the United States. It showed 57 percent of people in Latin America considering the United States to be a positive influence, down from 60 percent in 2020. China, meanwhile, was considered a positive influence by 65 percent of respondents, a jump from the 48 percent it scored six years ago.

Was bleibt dem Michel? Das ist doch die Frage. Man kann die tollsten Utopien und die ehrenwertesten Werte haben, aber in einem besetzten Staat wie unserem, bleibt nur die implizierte Wahl und die ermöglicht aktuell nur: Libertäre gegen den Krieg. Also wählt Michel Libertäre gegen den Krieg. Ich kann Michel hier absolut verstehen. Ihm ist es egal, wie er danach gefickt wird - Hauptsache, er muss nicht im Schützengraben sterben. Das ist einfach das Resultat von jahtelanger Zersetzung. Normalerweise hätte man schon Putschen müssen, als es um Taurus ging.

Die Befreiung der Produktivkräfte und die Befreiung des Körpers sind kein Widerspruch.

Lucky he wasn't.
> i didn't respect the gun or respect him, i didn't think or feel anything at all, i just went into total fight or flight reflex mode and got the fuck out of there.
Lucky that worked out for you.

>>2925073
But yeah, sometimes I absolutely believe fight or flight is the better option. Never be me digging my own grave at gunpoint, but that is the good thing about a police force verses other armed people is you stand a better chance of not getting killed by folding to them.

>i mean my political views would probably fall into the category of anarchism but i'm not dumb enough to think that you can abolish the police. someone is going to be the police some way or another. if you go to places like juarez mexico and drive around the city, most places will be policed by the actual police, but there are certain areas where the police have been effectively abolished and in those zones the drug cartels are the police - they dress exactly like police with paramilitary uniforms and masks and tactical vests and carry assault rifles and handheld radios and they conduct patrols and traffic stops and arrests and raids and set up roadblocks and checkpoints, they pull you over and ask where you're going and what you're doing here and if you have any drugs or weapons in your car, etc. there are always police, it's just the way of the world.

>>2925073

well the point of the story is, as much as this guy believed that his gun gave him power and made him some kind of authority figure and as much as his actions affected me, nobody had any real authority in that situation, he wasn't really in control of himself or what i did, i wasn't really in control of myself or what he did, no one was in control, it was just chaos. and that's really the truth of the world, we don't control the world and when we try to we just create chaos, there is no authority. authority is an illusion that so-called authority figures try to reify through coercion and violence and then they deliberately misinterpret the involuntary visceral response of their so-called subordinates as a ratification of their so-called authority. like bill cosby out on a date they manufacture the consent and then they pretend like they didn't and tell themselves that the consent was genuine and they're just a straight up player.

Side topic. I just gotta say. "Deterrence" theory is fucking stupid. The idea that people will commit fewer crimes if there is more prisons, more cops, more sentencing, more judges, more death penalty, more torture, more arrests, etc is fuckin stupid. If anything the police state just widens the definition of crime so much that mere existence approaches criminality.

>>2925624
Deterrence theory isn't about more prisons or harsher punishment; it's about stronger enforcement of the existing law. Not sure why you think it's BS. People are less likely to commit forbidden acts if they know they'll certainly be caught. For example, murder rate dropped because murder is much harder to get away with nowadays.
