/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I'm reading Andromeda: A Space-Age Tale from Ivan Yefremov (hottie) and it's very pleasing the optimism, I'm not exactly sure how far it is into the future but then everything is organized through councils/commissions.

The intellectual might of leftism.

>If crime is merely a function of poverty
it's not
literally every single study on the subject shows this

>If crime is merely a function of poverty
Nice misframing, monkey boy!

This claim is usually made in the context of petty theft, violent muggings and gang murders. The kind of crime that makes everyday people, or small business owners, feel unsafe.
The ultrawealthy and states tend towards committing different crimes.

>Seems to me crime is more of a function of sociopathy than poverty
Crime and law is not a proxy for morality or social cohesion. I regularly avoid paying the wealthy and I use those savings to support people and organizations in need - am I therefore a sociopath?

Kind of hope the disillusionment with Platner is a sign that people are getting fatigued of vets coming home and waving their military credentials in front of their face, as if it means anything other than they’re a mercenary for imperialism.

a slight follow up: what's really fun is you can see this trend by tracking the implosion of "new atheism": libs in it for pro-social reasons (e.g. mostly opposed to bush and conservatives hurting others) became "atheism+" and then social justice warriors, now usually some kind of communist, while the more antisocial element (mostly enjoyed "owning" and humiliating people in debates and being able to attack islam) became alt-right debate bros, then trump cultists. both those successor ideologies met the underlying psychological needs of their participants better than new atheism could.

you can even find fun "exception that proves the rule" individuals like thunderf00t who started as an anti-creationist youtuber but pivoted to anti-feminist slop in reaction to the early SJW movement, but then when brexit/trump happened and revealed the right as being anti-social idiot weirdoes who threatened the funding of his day job as a scientist, e.g. not a brain-dead idiot he pivoted back to being a liberal who made anti-covid conspiracy videos and now mostly makes anti-elon musk content. so that's the kind of trajectory you'll find if someone is a little anti-SJW but doesn't have the overwhelming anti-social tendencies of an actual rightist, if someone's actual underlying psychological need is to be "debunking" stuff. (which will now naturally put you on the left because basically everything rightoids say is a lie, having unmoored themselves from reality almost completely.)

Tbh, 2000s and 2010s America was way healthier and more stable than 2020s America, which is why people now romanticise the past twenty years.

And I honestly agree because the 2000s and 2010s were the peak of online culture and just overall better times.

But obviously the problems of the 2020s must at some point derive from the past, and the last two decades are no exception so in that regard I’m actually self-aware to not idealise it too much. After all, leftism back then was just a meme.

But can’t say things haven’t improved much in 2020s, in fact ever since 2016 things have just gotten shittier and shittier. The only improvement imo is that the 2020s has more stakes and is more of a breeding ground for revolution than the 2010s were, when communism was mostly a meme spread by suburban Tumblr liberals.

>ditch the people who found Platner objectionable
I didn't even see that but then again, i don't go to shit sites like twitter all the time

>make their beds with the DNC "progressives"
The people who found him objectionable were the main part of the DNC, DNC "progressives" and DNCfags who where copying the DEM's AIPAC text in /USA/, he still won the first part of vote after when everyone was shit talking for the wrong/dumbest reason and only a few times with maybe past crimes were talked, so the first part with "cancelled" is less of thing now to the point where plantman could've keep going still.

>Platner was meant as a trojan horse from day one
nearly all progressive dems like AOC are

Reminder,
the whole TWister Vs. Treatler spam is nothing but barely concealed poltard wrecking to make leftists look shitty.

‘Absolutely Unprecedented’: Trump Lackeys Crushing Efforts to Rein in Price-Hiking Corporate Mergers
Three unnamed sources told the outlet “that DOJ staff have privately complained that the Trump administration is essentially deciding not to enforce antitrust laws that are critical to keeping companies from becoming single-source providers and being able to charge enormous sums for their product or service.”

New Mexico accuses US Justice Department of impeding Epstein investigation
“Despite verbal assurances of cooperation from the USDOJ, access to the requested records has not been granted, no substantive response has been provided, and more than 130 days have now elapsed,” Torrez, a Democrat, wrote. “The [New Mexico Department of Justice] views this length of time as an unreasonable delay under any rule of reason.” The southwestern state reopened its investigation into Epstein in February, after the federal government released millions of files related to the convicted sex offender.

Who is behind the 'Muslim anti-BDS' campaign launching in the US?
The coalition says it seeks "to benefit Israel, its Arab citizens and Palestinians employed by Israeli companies", arguing that boycotts harm both Palestinians and Israelis. It also says it aims to raise at least $500,000 by encouraging 500,000 supporters to each contribute $1 by 9 October. The funds would be invested in Israeli treasury bonds and donated to four organisations: Sharaka, the Jerusalem Interfaith Centre, the Combat Antisemitism Movement, and Debate for Peace.

Communist Workers Platform USA (CWPUSA): How MAGA and “Progressivism” Obscure the Struggle for Socialism
In recent weeks, the Democratic Socialists of America has claimed a handful of electoral “victories.” In New York’s 7th and 13th Districts covering Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated the Democratic Party old guard in the primaries. In Colorado’s 1st District, Melat Kiros unseated 15-term incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette. These candidates have run on common platforms such as Medicare For All, Abolish Ice, Ending War, Housing for All, and Unions for All. As prices for rent, food, gas, insurance, and more continue to climb while wages stay low, and with jobs being few and far between, the workers of this country look for a way out. Daily stress from bills, debt, and harsh workplaces wears us down. Our families are more and more burdened by this week-to-week, day-to-day struggle. Meanwhile, the capitalist class throws a parade. The stock market reaches atmospheric heights, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire, billions more of our dollars are sent to fight wars against competing states, and impossible sums of money are poured into AI technology that the capitalists will use to surveil and displace us from work to their exclusive benefit. The situation is worsening. In the desperate grasp for a way out of this reality (worker’s daily reality within capitalism), the ruling class has developed two opposing and equally pernicious political options, both aimed at keeping capitalism alive and well.

Multinationals Sold Kenyan Farmers a Lethal Harvest
The word dawa, Swahili for “medicine,” threads through Francis Marete Mboroki’s speech as he describes the chemicals he spent decades spraying across his small farm on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya. They were sold as the tools of progress: modern seeds, bigger harvests, prosperity. Even as European and US regulators banned or restricted these chemicals at home, Mboroki kept spraying them, unaware they could be poisoning him. Today his doctors believe those pesticides caused the throat cancer slowly consuming his body.Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

And to be clear, Zephaniah was heavily dyslexic, he couldn't read nor write when he left school at 13, and wasn't even diagnosed with dyslexia until 21. So this was a high degree of dyslexia with a very late start.

Chinese script was invented because multiple kingdoms speaking different languages could be unified by a singular writing system. Even if you don't know how the words are supposed to be pronounced to the other person you can still understand the ideas. Chinese script is already a lingua Franca by design.
Chinese script should be the universal writing system, while speaking whatever language is convenient

>>2862751
>Even if you don't know how the words are supposed to be pronounced to the other person you can still understand the ideas.
Only the oldest Chinese characters are pictographs and most of those have been transformed completely into logograms. And you can't just look at logograms and know what it's talking about.
>Chinese script should be the universal writing system, while speaking whatever language is convenient
Japan did that and now they have three writing systems. Even the Korean writing system would be better.

The Torah was compiled in 270 BCE by Greek Jews and takes from many European sources, such as Plato's Nomoi and Timaeus. Read Russell Gmirckin. Also, Dennis MacDonald shows that the Gospel of John plagiarises Euripides' Bacchae - also making Jesus a Greek literary figure. Nietzsche calls Christianity "Platonism for the Masses".
