Bruh, I just accidentally clicked something two times in firefox just now and some google AI shit came up. Ok I just figured out what it is. Jesus fucking Christ Mozilla. Fuckers. What's wrong with them automatically adding bullshit like that. I don't even know how I accidentally clicked it when I never accidentally click anything else on the right click list. I hope that's it.

>>2596857
You guys do realize that not everyone in the flight logs is part of the sekret child fucking club right? Epstein never brings up sex or any sort of pleasure activity when he talked with his more 'professional' contacts like Chomsky or Bannon or Ehud Barak. I think the closest comparison to Epstein would be people like Madame de Pompadour or other similar figures in the Ancient Regime, yes the way they rose up to power is by providing hapless women to the king but the reason why they stayed for so long is because their main activity is being an expert political operative

>>2596877
But ofc Amerikkkans are so mindfucked by conspiratorial thinking they literally think that Epstein is some DnD tier evil cult priest who sacrificed orphans in altars or some shit

Ever since I watched that documentary on Q anon which uncovered bot farms connected to Ron Watkins on twitter, I just assume every e-celeb is paying to have their profile boosted in some form.

>>2596296
fascism only attacks capital from a moral stand point "muh degeneracy" "muh rootless cosmopolitans", it does not attack capital from an economic stand point

>>2596296
Fascism is schizophrenic and will say whatever it can to survive while keeping capitalism intact. ᴉuᴉlossnW and Hitler both said they despised capitalism at different points in their lives.

>>2596296
Fascists claim to be Marxist influenced in the sense that they read Marx and disagreed with him, the most dangerous thing you can do, which is why modern fascists are all harmless retards, they can't read.

>>2596857
>>2596877
Chomsky isn't just "in the flight logs" he was hanging out with Epstein after the conviction, hanging out with Steve Bannon, and wrote a letter of endorsement for Epstein (why is not clear). Chomsky was already known to have worked for the DOD and supported the Khmer Rouge after knowing about the genocide btw. You're a fucktard if you take him seriously.

>>2597006
Yeah their problem is with bourgeois values not the economic production system although they make gestures towards some kind of corporatist scheme (although in reality that mainly disciplined labor while capital was allowed relative autonomy).

>>2597006
it instead coerces capital to fulfill the objectives laid out by the state

>>2596296
I highly recommend reading this collection of Hitler quotes which analyzes his attitudes towards the economic side of national socialism and how its definition of private property differs from bourgeois liberal societies


>>2596468
Moronic take. Firstly, Mao was not some Western spook dictator who controlled the party with his mind powers. Secondly, the CPC tried to avoid some of the brutality of the early Soviet rule by trying to develop more evenly instead of trying to go all in on heavy industry. There were many mistakes and many of them can be laid at Mao’s feet for being their primary proponent, but your comment was beyond simplistic. Thirdly, the GPCR was an attempt to avoid the ossification and corruption of the party as had already occurred in the Soviet Union. Again, many mistakes. But I am of the opinion that the CPC is still at risk of liquidating itself as the CPSU did because the same economic tensions will continue to exist until the monetary form begins to be eliminated. I think the primary reason the rightists in the CPC didn’t follow their Soviet brethren is there was no delusion that Chinese would be treated as Europeans.

>>2597162
But are they really opposed to bourgeois social values? Yes, they are very intolerant fuckwards, but when you cover up the Swastikas many Nazi functionaries had the same social parties and lifestyle they had during the Weimar republic. Goebbels who was held up as a paragon of German family man cheated on his wife all the fucking time. Socialization was done on the basis of individuals participating in social clubs rather than feudal kinship ties. Honestly if you remove the antisemitism and genocidal racism the Nazis practically behaved like conservative elites today

>>2596917
>purely antisemitic attack
He means the unprecedented illegal unprovoked war of aggression on the Zionist Jewish people, which was in the playbook of Pootin Hamas ISIS. And had nothing to do with NATO Israel.

The more they scream "nothing to see here" the more people's curiosity is engaged lel

I feel like if fascism started existing now, without any of the negative historical baggage connected to it, the majority of anons in this site would become fascists. Im being serious here, try to debunk me

>>2596296
>I talked with my local centennial ex-communists ex-trotskyist ex-revolutionary socdem party (third refounding, dropped Marxism for "nordic socialism").
>And they assured me there is a continuity from their (very principled) rejection of the USSR to today's full on liberalism ("we are all liberals now") towards overcoming capitalism and achieving a democratic worker's state.
>But then when I talk to ML's they say that socdems are sellouts and class collaboration doesn't work WTF?
Well yes, they are lying.

>>2597338
how can they be lying when they seem to genuinely believe it?

>>2597339
>how can they be lying when they seem to genuinely believe it?
A falsehood can be guilelessly accepted, cynically pretended and everything in-between. A religious myth, for example, does not become truer for the sincerity of the believers

That just means they are retarded. Which tbf, fascists are

>>2597158
>supported the Khmer Rouge after knowing about the genocide
That one is bullshit. And Chomsky's "support" before was just him on autopilot voicing his usual skepticism of claims in Western media. But I'm curious about the other stuff you said like the endorsement letter.

>>2597554
so called "white supremacists" and "nazis" who rhetorically position themselves as "anti-establishment" ultimately toe the imperialist line, duh.

I'm constantly annoyed by so called "communists" pointing out "hypocrisy" because it demonstrates a kind of liberal idealist frame of mind: taking what individuals profess at face value instead of examining the material relations.

>>2597612
>Israelis are mad
Israelis are *always mad* like, by definition. They need the "other" and the colonialist struggle to make any sense of themselves. But a large part of that angst is performative and unfounded. Jews are, if anything, privileged in all the places Zionism thrives, which is where they get to do this routine of performative angst.

The problem is, the psycho ranting of random Zios no matter how insincere or inauthentic, is constantly laundered by western media, to further NATO goals. And that Israelis, or Zionists in general, are instead a hugely protected class which gets to suffer none of the tensions of being who they are in the open.

IMO Zionism, especially since the Gaza genocide, has been incorporated into the western culture war, In a specific role. Of being the gatekeepers and pioneers of saying all the quiet parts aloud. The rest of western society, supporting of NATO, exhibit similar chauvinism for sure, but it's mostly just Zionists who are allowed to go full NSDAP in their rhetoric, say it proudly.

So now, everyone interested in furthering the acceptable limits of right wing rhetoric has an incentive to channel it through pushing the boundaries of rabid Zionism. Which is just as well, because it allows the "traditional right" to replace "the joos" with "the arabs"(or whatever the NATO boogeyman is of the moment) and recycle all the tropes to the benefit of their moronic following, who need not learn new tricks.

Paul Joseph watson has now (belatedly) been informed of the existance of the federal Republic of germany i agree withhim on this one it is bulshit

There is a silent movie from 1920 wherein a golem which bares an uncanny resemblance to Donald Trump, is commanded by a jewish wizard who bares an uncanny resemblance to young pictures of Jeffrey Epstein. By the end of the film, the Epstein wizard uses the golem to murder the film's white male primary character.

That this film exists, in my opinion, is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time

I wonder why nobody posted the video of a Russian nuclear submarine getting blown up in dock in /ukr/. Is it not important? But the thread is full of screencaps of irrelevant twitter e-celebs. You'd think the people there who spend all day posting would post such an important event. But they didn't. Why? Truly peculiar.
