A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.

the only way to combat I.Q. nationalism is not to deny I.Q. but to see how a high I.Q. society is inherently dysfunctional. south korea is apparently the highest I.Q. country in the world yet it is a dystopian and infertile society that nobody enjoys. scandanavian peoples with high median I.Q. due to clusters (like females) also lack potential for disequilibrium, which is why scandanavian countries are stable but uninspring and largely non-contributing to world-history, culture or science, while having a lower median due to a larger sample size allows more creativity. so we need more smart people AND dumb people for best results.

an economic example is that high I.Q. people specialise and so are singularly competent in their field yet incompetent everywhere else, so a society of smart people will have great debates but wouldnt be able to clean their room. so we are codependent on each other's dysfunctions to have a functional society.

>Go after
Implying predation
>they know what they are doing is wrong, and that plays into why they are doing it. The knowledge that someone under 18 cannot consent is part of the appeal to someone like that, they dislike the entire concept of consent.
No, they know what they are doing will piss you off. Everyone with two braincels understands the contradiction here. Obviously it isn't "wrong", or nonconsensual. There is no magical line that would separate the 17.5yo ("unable to consent") and the 18yo ("able to do hardcore porn and prostitution"). But people like Destiny, who are pathological social climbers, who have not a hint of genuine expression in their social life… well they are more plugged than anybody else to these retarded mores. And so for them breaking them is so much more enjoyable and real.

>He knows he is in a position of power and uses that power to abuse, it's all very intentional, I've known these types of dudes irl.

More implied predation.

The average gymrat getting prime (boy)pussy by being fit as fuck and showing off at the right places… is just normal life. So are other forms of status, such as money, popularity or indeed media clout. However, Destiny's "normal" is far from usual, because he's a hyper online influencer. So the way he gets the status and the prime pussy is quite lame by not-hyperonline-propaganda-whoring standards. And obviously what he does propaganda for is abhorrent in itself. So very hateable, sure. Still, no different from a gay dude in his late 30s topping a fawning bottom 10+years below. This sort of age gap and "boyhood" appeal is very common among gay males btw.

And hate to break it to you, but many, perhaps most, "teenage sweetheart" sort of relationships where the couple eventually grows old together, often start with a significant age gap, something like 14yo's fawning over 18yo's and such.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

no, that's not "why"

This site needs to ban Tor posters before I would consider sharing that I use this site. I mever share this place because its full of these types of weird ass mfs.


>>2446235
The age of consent is part of the social contact.

Reported for pedo defense force shit.

It is so common on this website for one of these tour posters to post about this weird-ass pedo shit, bro. I don't give a fuck if you want to date a 14-year-old. You should kill yourself right now on the spot. You should go into the bathroom, and you should hang yourself with a fucking cord you took from the back of your TV. If you don't understand the concept of consent, and the age of consent, and the social contract, then you don't have a place in the social fucking space. And it is consistently, every goddamn day, there is someone doing this shit, because these fucking dipshit moderators refuse to ban tour posters. They refuse to ban tour posters. Do they like hanging out with these fucking people? And they wonder why this site is consistently dog shit. It's consistently dog shit. You are who you hang around with, and it seems to me that the fucking moderators of this site love to hang out with pedophiles and their defenders.

wow so kick is both a CSAM hub and a snuff studio, that's real nice

Tired of debating everyone else's sex life.

I decided to look up the Raja Jackson situation and see what was up, and like always the white guy starts it.
Every fucking time. This guy smashed a bottle on his head and expected not to get killed? Is he fucking stupid?
Every time this happens now it always ALWAYS turns out that the white person started it but right wingers are still going "WHAT A VIOLENT UYGHUR!" calling for his arrest.
Unironically he should not have called him the n word.
There is no such thing as "Random uyghur Violence Quick Time Events" every single time it happens later details come out that the white person always started it.
The next time I see a cracker being beaten or raped on the street I will not help or call police because they likely deserved it somehow.
It's a shame the wrestler is still alive and not dead. Fuck crackers.

How the fuck do I evade a reddit ban? I caught a perma suspension for being anti zionist and now I can't even make new accounts

>>2446124
What happened

Ok, I am bringing in real leftist/communist internet drama, unlike all the garbage around succdem hasan, nazi groyper nick fuentes, radlib destiny, or confused lib bad empanada.

All started when CJ, a rising content creator in Tiktok made a whole video reacting about China this weekend, using a bunch of CIA/USAID even South African Apartheid Afrikaners sources to accuse China of imperialism.
First video.
Some people like a bat signal tagged Millennial Chaos, based comrade. MC proceeds to make a video showing how all the sources he used are FED sources.
Second video.
Then CJ proceeds to provide some more sources in a reply MC did in his first video, using the IDPOL garbage "Happy now white man?". Then MC explains how his sources are fucking Afrikaners!
Third video.
Then CJ proceeds to make a video using BLACK AGENDA REPORT sources that, contrary his claims, it states that China isn't doing imperialism in the DRC. lmao, CJ's use of "I finna cook you" like a child debate.
Fourth video.
In which we finally arrive to the fifth video where MC reads the whole articles CJs uses.

part 1/2

please don't post part 2

part 2/2
bonus, we can see CJ literally throwing ALL Lenin's work on imperialism (who he has MILKED over the time with videos talking about Lenin's theories) because "muuuuuh white".
lmao, this is really good internet drama.
CJ might either apologize (doubt), simply move on, or double down.

>>2446732
this is much better than seeing the insane internet drama of pedo people, groyper katsumi katboy friend fuentes, or all the radlibery drama.
there's a lot of food for the brain.

>>2446233
>you have to have a very high autism score to have schizophrenia…

>>2446725
My initial reaction to the first webm and only the first webm:
>Dude a bunch of blacks are killing each other and Chine sold them weapons!
By that logic capitalism has killed 80 billion people.
>Socialism is when you take a stance against– (Slop that is not related to capitalism put before capital is even mentioned)
First guy is fucking retarded even radlibs, anarchsits, and leftcoms all make far better arguments than this.
>Socialists do not manufacture genocide
Engels literally said that genocide is a historically progressive force especially on reactionary peoples.
This dumbfuck never read anything outside "socialist progressive" Hotep posts on Facebook.
Pure utopianism.
>>2446734
>Lenin's definition of imperialism is null because he is a white man
Ah I see.
So this guy is just a uyghur nationalist going full mask off, he would feel more at home reading Mein Kampf than Lenin or Marx except by this post and their writings alone, he is actually proving himself like many a POC to be even more reactionary than literal Hitler.

>>2446760
>reactionary peoples

genocide is okay when you don't like those peoples

>>2446767
>she hasn't read Engels on The Magyar Question

>>2446767
opposing genocide is anticommunist

>>2446767
>Xhe has not read Engels
>Xhe doesn't understand that some people are so donkey headed they are in fact reactionary peoples exactly as implied

>>2446767
Modern nationalism has created, in addition to nations naturally arising from the heritage of great thousand-year civilizations, also smaller "nations" which are exclusively reactions to the progress of greater nations. For example, Ukrainian nationalism is just a hatred of the civilizational developments of the Russian people, an attempt to dissolve it and discredit its accomplishments. Japanese and Taiwanese nationalism developed as a similar reaction to Chinese civilizational developments. These are not natural developments, these are nationalisms that arise not as celebrations of human development, but spite towards human development. They are reactionary as there is no progressive element to their nations as there is in the Russian, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean, etc cases.

Even left wingers accept that Nick is the future

>>2446802
Although I should say, that's not because these are reactionary "peoples", but rather reactionary "nations". Each national conception is a political concept, not innate. The South of the US are nationalists of the USA right now, but once upon a time were spitting on the USA and trying to form their own nation in the CSA. So a nation can be dissolved and the people can remain. But they have to accept the nationalism of a natural nation which arose from the progressive development of a real civilization.
For example, there's no such a thing as a Taiwanese nationalist Communist movement, only a Taiwan-based Chinese nationalist Communist movement.

>>2446805
I honestly welcome it. He is a selfhating faggot, who appeals to the most self destructive instincts of modern rightoid culture. People are always horrified that he gets so much attention, but a grifter like him is 100% preferable to an actually shrewd rightist, who can build lasting coalitions, without chimping out over personal drama.

>>2446802
According to Dugin, Japan was its own civilization, not a region of the Chinese civilization. So I think its nationalism is a more of a natural development.

>>2446760
>Engels literally said that genocide is a historically progressive force especially on reactionary peoples
the next time you are at a meeting of your party or org, you should tell this your fellow comrades and see how they react

>>2446760
>Engels literally said that genocide is a historically progressive force especially on reactionary peoples.
moreso, he more or less described the process. as a deterministic process, resulting from class struggle and revolutionary wars, not proclaiming the genocide of the reactionaries peoples. but he was wrong in the sense that people was “destined” to vanish.
Lenin later on opposed that idea with
>The Right of Nations to Self-Determination (1914).
A very good book, where, after seeing the events afterwards, it could be concluded that all nations have the right to self-determination, or else only reactionaries forces will remain. that the only solution is voluntary unity of nations on the basis of equality and not forced coerced assimilation (or threatening to destruction). And with Lenin's revision Engels final conclusion is fully rejected.

>>2446828
>or you agree with me, or I genocide you!
kek, I can imagine their faces.

>>2446825
Huh. So he says. But I think he's wrong on this point out his desire to convince the Japanese to not threaten Russia on behalf of the USA.
Japanese nationalism did not arise out of its own progressive Holderlins and Fichtes, it arose solely out of a desire to burn the Chinese influence that permeated Japanese society. Throughout Japanese history, all progressive development in statecraft, art, farming technique, literature, religion, etc, all came from China. So Japanese nationalism, as envisioned by the Kokugaku movement which was its embryo, was a reactionary movement trying to return to the culture of the savage Jomon whose greatest accomplishments were digging mounds. That developed to the Sonno Joi movement, so from the beginning Japanese nationalism was a movement to burn Chinese culture and development and artificially prop up a nativist culture that didn't exist outside of the military. I think Dugin is too influenced by Hagakure and thinks that military development is comparable to development of culture. Japan did have its own military culture, but in real higher culture it had nothing but Chinese productions.

its 2025 you fucking retards, stop bringing up shit applicable to when there were still feudal or semifeudal states left

>>2446854
>It's ok to genocide feudal peoples
You said it not me

>>2446854
no, no, no, it's alright. it's part of a healthy debate. I pointed out how Lenin's book was more concise after seeing the results of the events. after all, it's a 1849 publication, and Lenin could write about it in a more elaborated book.

>>2446857
Something being progressive in the movement of history is not a moral statement.

>>2446857
>you have to morally condemn shit that happened centuries ago
lol ok, i dont have to like it to know it was going to happen either way. thats just how history works
