No you are mistaken, he doxxed some random ass people for posting spongebob memes first before he even beefed with "eigenkirkbot" or whatever. He even claimed he paid Claude 1000 to dig info on some perceived enemies of his.

>Socialist artist-types might never apply the moniker of “Cultural Marxist” to themselves, but there is a “Marxish” type of art that is somewhat commonly produced, wherein artists (Ayoung Kim being a recent example) explore phenomena like labor and capitalism in their work. There is further a confusing form of ersatz-Marxism-as-social-praxis that pervades the worlds of art and culture, typically manufactured by those who expand the boundaries of what they think of as “Marxism” to areas far outside of what is covered in, say, Das Capital. Confronted with what they see as a WWMD? (What Would Marx Do?)-type situation of real or perceived cultural inequity (like a billboard featuring fashion models of only one body type), this type of culture-maker often proposes that the “Marxist” thing to do would be to stand against that inequity by supporting the perceived underdog, who they see as good and who they perhaps also relate to in some way.


>These are the loose geneses and descriptors of largely 20th century terms and ideas that serve to corral artists, artworks, and general socio-cultural tropes into easily identifiable political categories, however inaccurate they may be. In this spirit, I want to propose a potentially inaccurate term for a real 21st century cultural condition: “Cultural Palantirism.”

>I don't want America's war on Iran to fail

What do you think of Professor Dave?

I neither click on nor read slopstack articles

Instagram showed me one of those edits with dramatic music of the Hanoi Hannah radio broadcast, but AI manipulated to say "goyim" instead of "GI" and leaving out the parts about US imperialism. There's too much rightoid /pol/ slop everywhere. I don't know if it has become worse but it feels extra in your face recently.

>>2748228

the ango elite have a mythology and theological ideology of being descended directly from Abraham, i.e. of being jewsih. It's just malitious pretend ignorance to depict "white people" as starting this war. The CPUSA are a zionist organization who prop up israel and jews in America.

Hes a liberal that thinks a regime change in iran might cause a liberal goverment to be installed there, even through the means of trump. He also probably just doesn't want a recession and a failure.

He's a real obnoxious freak and I love him for it. He will obviously have weak points,especially politics related but seems lime his heart and mind is ina good place. I have family that have been completely consumed by american style antivax shit, so i cheer on anyone who attacks these charlatan monsters who profit of it.

No. I love living and I want a life that gets better

>>2748514
I'm taking no joy in watching it burn and fighting to stay optimistic about what we might be able to build in the ashes. so many innocent people are dying or getting dragged off to nondescript buildings in industrial areas and disappearing in the USA, god only knows the extent of the carnage everywhere else. having said that, the right wing junta is ripping itself apart and the empire has blundered their control of the persian gulf so even if shit is sad r/n I think all the retarded plans of the epsteinite peter thiles are going to shit the bed with no state sponsor.

The Lysenko posters are Haz and his friends because only Haz was retarded enough to try to argue for Lysenkoism in some stupid attempt to rehabilitate the purges hitting innocents.

I've seen people here deboonk the big bang with "dialectics". I've seen people here deny the germ theory of disease.

Girls shilling their onlyfans page on instagram are all AI now it's crazy. Imagine seeing a girl doing a viral tiktok dance on instagram reels and you get so horny you spend 50 bucks for a dick rating and it's an indian guy behind the screen. The internet is completely absurd.

>>2748543
>>2748545
Comparing 1930s genetics to modern genetics is like comparing astrology to astronomy. The geneticists Lysenko railed against were blasting flies with xrays, in order to find "alleles" and map out the "building blocks" of life. The fact it provided the motivation for molecular biology and lead to the discovery of chromosomes does not negate the impractibility of the research and the ivory tower attitudes among many biologists of the time. In contrast Lysenko was promoting field research, studying cultivation methods and creating new crop varieties, research that was sorely needed in a country still prone to famines and did measurably improve yield.

Michurinism was a product of its time and trying to apply it to modern biology is unwise. However the thing most people that try to "debunk genetics" are actually concerned with, is excising the unscientific remnants of Mendelism-Morganism-Weissmanism. In this they are not alone, as seen in Punctuated Equilibrium, where the Darwinian Gradualism that continues to be taught in schools is decisively debunked.

>>2748568
agree. paying atcual e-thots to rate my dick is based and rational, paying virtual e-thots is cringe and absurd.

>>2748545
rent free.

>>2748514
I don't see why a nihilist would want to "burn the world down" wouldn't matter either way who cares sounds like a lot of work. If you hate the world you'd have to believe in something and then be disappointed it doesn't live up your standards. Or it's more like the Carlin bit where he says he loves watching chaos and disasters or Adam Smith when he talked about how people even in his time loved reading newspaper accounts of "their" military conquering abroad, and get depressed when the war ends.
