>>2823173what do extreme far leftists like anarchists nihilistic marxist insurrectionists maoists juche lovers do besides rape, abuse, and get their members killed, locked up or traumatized? they make shit harder for the left to exist with no clear goal. theyre suicide pacts
>>2823270I admit this juche obsession gimmick was funny for like three days but now it's time to shut the fuck up and stop spamming your shitty blog everywhere.

>>2823177I wish people would stop bleeping out every single god damn word. You don't need to censor words like 'genocide', 'ethnic', and 'rape' you dumb motherfuckers. I hate it so god damn much. You get patreon bucks out the wazoo, so you should stand up to the enforcement of this ridiculous censorship campaign by YouTube.
Anyway, you can't be too hard on contrapoints, she's not an activist, she's a petite bourgeois in the same way that Hasan Piker is, plus she's one of those old school 'lesser of two evils' types because she genuinely believes that the system still works in her favor and that of the general population. Could she do more 'in the field'? Hell yeah, probably a lot more. However, she's done a lot already simply by leveraging her massive online platform to curtail the spread of right-wing populism/white supremacy.
Besides, we all know that people like Hasan are champagne socialists who go out to do things for the clout and glory it brings their brand. Really, we as a collective need to stop supporting talking head armchair political commentators and propping them up such that it could be considered a fucking career. It's not a career, and yes I know it has the potential to earn the right person with the right traits and a bit of luck enough money to join those petite bourgeois, but the implicit desire of attaining this is in and of itself part of the problem of mobilizing people in general, because they think it's enough to get online and spew shit.
Contra is a prettier, more well spoken, classy, liberal version of Asmongold.

>>2823032>feds helping ex survivors of a cultLmao
watched a goon make a point that seems obvious when you reflect on it: moot didn't really make 4chan.
or, more accurately, he founded 4chan in the most pedantic sense - he really did run some futaba scripts through a translator - and then a bunch of adults who wanted plausible deniability actually made it a working website and kept it alive while moot was just a figurehead for a project that they put all the work into.
"servers paid for with his mom's credit card" my ass, what an obvious cock and bull story. some goon paid for those servers, some goons made the scripts actually work, some goons moderated the place, some goons did all of it but since they had day jobs they wanted this stupid kid to take the rap.
some context is added to why there was a lolicon board that was added and removed and added and removed again: because the first goon he found to host it made hosting the site conditional on having /l/, while other goons could see what a liability this was and made arrangements to move the place to another server.
that's why he's basically achieved nothing since, he's a taking the credit guy, not a quietly slapping things together for the fun of it guy. he is - how to put this delicately? - a faggot.

>>2823598Given the choice between an imperialist Amerikkkan playing identity politics to defend Zionism and an autistic Australian hardline anti zionist, I'd take the latter every time
>>2823598>but him calling out all these ecelebs for being not much more than typical media careerists is pretty satisfyingIsn't that what he does though? His whole career is picking slapfights on social media with other ecelebs.
>>2823782I mean, not really? He's got a streaming channel and a regular one, and that regular scripted channel is mostly history, political analysis and anti zionist politics
>>2823782maybe it's due to sheer incompetence, but the careerist move for BE could have latching heavily onto hasan when ethan klein was suing a bunch of streamers and just remain latched indefinitely. dude was making BANK from ethan klein and would be frequently be featured in hasan' s streams. instead he decided to burn bridges with hasan by going aggro at a moment's notice and lost like half his subscriber base. he also sometimes burns his own subscriber discord for no reason other than he feels like it. like maybe he's a sloptuber, but he either isn't cut out or doesn't want to be a careerist lol.
>>2823561It's an interesting nugget of internet history but in case you havent noticed this thread is interested in eceleb and streamer faggotry.
>>2823791I don't think he's a careerist since takes a lot of unpopular and controversial positions. However I do think he's an extremely combative and irksome person who just picks fights with anyone over anything. Definitely the type of socialist more interested in finding heretics than converts.

>>2823906That's not really relevant is it? It's simply incorrect to say that the Tsar was not brought down by the working class.

at first I thought he was an idiot, but fucking up noah's stream came after he got owned in BE's comments and said he was done getting involved in the drama (for something like the fifth time btw).
what is his fucking endgame? probably joining the liberal blacks spouting yankoid catchphrases like "class reductionism". he's engineering his own candace owens style blaxit and anyone booking the dickhead is going to have to endure the same bullshit noah did.

>CALL ME HARD R CALL ME HARD R CALL ME HARD R CALL ME HARD R CALL ME HARD R CALL ME HARD Ryou make a good point. I think signifier didn't initially plan to pull a kkkrackerpoints. signifier figured BE could be pressed into saying something during an autistic meltdown that would parry the grifter accusations. he based his read of BE on the shrieks of butthurt americunts on twitter. signifier thinks he's facing down a mad dog. BE is more sophisticated than signifier both politically and tactically.

>>2824376Except the whole "ZOG" campaign is being run by right-wing grifters who want to make it seem as though the countries and the people supporting Israel don't do it of their own volition. They want to make it look like Israel has somehow "blackmailed" these countries, which falls apart when you realize that both westoid and thirdie cuckservatives yearn for Epsteinite Neoliberalism.
The primary culprit for the genocide is still America, which provides aid and weaponry to Israel because that serves its interests. Israel is the proxy, not the other way around.
And all the Zionist goyslaves around the world who support Israel do it because they want to do it. Not because Israel forced them or brainwashed them or whatever. They will get their comeuppance in time, but in the meantime there's no need to portray these scum as victims of propaganda.

>>2824380>the "ZOG" campaignwhat zog campaign? the people that use zog unironically are as toothless inbred as they are toothless marginal. using zog ironically to troll petit booj left entryists with media careers at nebula doesn't empower neo-nazis, if anything it further dilutes and confuses their message.
america is the chief genocidaire, but let's be real: france, germany, and the UK are just as culpable for arming them, and every western aligned country is at least somewhat culpable for funding their domestic arms tech.
BE is right: the western left is more comfortable policing what they perceive as anti-semitic language than they are policing israel or their own domestic policy. they really are doing the zionist lobby's job for them, freeing the lobby up to attack the centre left.
there's no more latitude for debate: the us needs a workers party. maybe it's PSL, it's probably not CPUSA, but it is the only way to force a wedge between the atlanticist liberals and the conservative liberals.
>>2824404you're a fucking moron. france, germany, and the UK are colonial war profiteers that are directly providing materiel support to israel. the UK is actively participating flying spy planes and firing missiles from the sea between israel and cyprus.
>>2824376This is le bad because he's white
>>2824376look at my leftist debates the revolution is never happening
>>2824403>what zog campaign? the people that use zog unironically are as toothless inbred as they are toothless marginalYou know who I'm talking about. Hacks like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Jackson Hinkle, whose entire existence depends upon channeling discontent into retarded dead-end ideologies. They want the already very small portion of disillusioned people to believe that there is this mythical wholesome, red-blooded American patriot that only needs to somehow be deprogrammed from ZOGslop propaganda to join our side. It's no surprise that retarded cultists like "MAGAcommunists" toe this line.
Fact of the matter is that there is very little opposition to Zionism, even in the Muslim world, let alone the West. Even supposed anti-Zionists are ok with supporting Zionists as long as it serves them. In an environment like this, where even the anti-Zionists are complacent, unprincipled retards, it is extremely important to purity test.
>the western left is more comfortable policing what they perceive as anti-semitic language than they are policing israel or their own domestic policyThis is to be expected of the western left. It is more concerned with the equitable distribution of imperial loot than an end to imperialism altogether. They're ready to throw away all principles for hollow economism because of their class position. Which is why you don't lend such people ammunition by allowing them to scapegoat Israel and dodge all accountability for their own country's involvement in genocide. These are deeply cowardly and selfish people who will support literal war criminals if that gets them more treats.
>>2824421What are you even talking about?
>>2824426Even the wholesome thirdie proles are cheering on for genocide. Porkies are definitely a huge problem, but it's not just them.
>>2824426Oh no. This is bad because Jewish feelings are very important while they slaughter babies
>>2824430It's not about Jewish feelings, it's about being grounded in reality. Don't let westoid and thirdie Zionists wash their hands off accountablity by peddling "ZOG" bs. Everyone who supports Israel does it because there is something in it for them, not because Israel coerces them to do so.
>>2824409Is this some anti-abortion slop?
>>2824432>Wash their hands offLol. All zionists are westoids what are you talking about
>>2824424you're naming people that don't use the term zog, to when we're talking about a guy who is using the term ironically, who when pressed just says it's banter and readily admits the reality that it's largely the other way around, who we're only talking about because a kamala supporter would rather confuse the issue and fight on aesthetics and tone policing than admit his own opportunistic kamala shilling.
it's very tiresome.

like 20 mins in he even starts swinging on noah for some reason like he didn't just fuck him over. 30 mins in he's accusing BE of attacking noah.
>context hackingFD kept instigating like a coward while hiding behind his friends. this video exists because he couldn't stop talking about BE long enough to avoid making the noah samsen sued saturday steam about himself.
he even brings up an old email that BE sent him saying he respects him and is interested in his opinion on a vid. in spite of the insinuations FD makes, this is further exhonerating evidence for BE.
>respectability politics>dogwhistlinghe keeps bringing up things like standards and discipline. FD is so polite and deferential to vibes he talks about african hair and beyonce more than palestine. god help the human race if everyone else becomes so disciplined they never talk about gaza. he contradicts himself by accusing BE of dogwhistling (implying he's a nazi) while admitting that BE's politics are pretty good.
JD doesn't seem to be aware that shitposting exists.
>anti zionism vs anti semitismhe brings up BE's video about GDF's anti-semitic pandering, but he mischaracterises it to paint BE as a hypocrite. BE accused GDF of continually creating narratives that exonerated the US role in genocide. he didn't critique on aesthetic grounds.
>white guy telling a black man…this never really comes to any point, he's basically walking directly into the accusations of american exceptionalism, and ignorance of global affairs. he clearly knows his audience is going to respond to identity politics and is biased towards american exceptionalism so it's all insinuation.
>responding to BEhe actively censors BE trying to underail the conversation with a big black box. to zoom forward to him yelling the n-word at him over and over again. he zooms in on BE looking embarrassed for him and acts like this is a dub.
tl;drthis video is too long. it's packed with irrelevant bullshit, and never arrives at a point. I was too optimistic when I thought this was a direct response. maybe if he summarised this it's not so bad. as it stands this is a meandering video of a middle aged man yelling like a teenager. it exists so people can link it to say he responded. but is designed to prevent anyone from understanding the drama or what the fuck he's talking about.
just take the L bro this is sad.
🚨 Hasan Names Singham, PSL, ANSWER, and Code Pink in One Breath
On stream today, Hasan Piker discussed the reported Treasury scrutiny and said the broader target is “probably Singham” and “his operation,” naming PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation), ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink, and “anything that he has ever financed.”
He then acknowledged that Roy Singham lives in China and has been “a funding vehicle” for political movements and activism in the United States.
That is exactly why this matters.
This was never just about one influencer’s Cuba trip. It is about the Singham-linked ecosystem, the groups it funds, the delegations it supports, and the political operations built around them.
Hasan didn’t refute the network. He mapped it.
https://x.com/thestustustudio/status/2059018248478146896>>2824445That doesn't mean their leaders are Westerners.

Mention Jews, they all make their manchurrian candidate trigger face. And begin dispensing platitudes and hasbara. Like you just handed them a bomb, which will go off if too much criticism of Zionism enters the conversation.
Alas, everyone knows Zionism has won and will continue to get unconditional institutional support across NATO&co, so they know what the safe bets are. Gotta signal you are good hasbara-goy, otherwise the pityful sum one gets from radicalism now, won't cover being blacklisted from liberal circles forever.

Tells me that what can start out as sectarian beef can work its way into the mainstream and then get used by the U.S. federal government.
If the Republicans are going to campaign against Hasan Piker for the midterms though then I imagine that'll go about as well as other politicians who have tried to make that an issue even though 90%+ of Americans don't know who the fuck Hasan is.
>>2824500There has been some reporting recently that the White House is using social media influencers and AI generated content now as part of this domestic political repression / "CT" scheme so it could very well be that.
>>2824532the evidence is the billions of dollars being sent to israel as cash and military aid during a genocide that can be ended with a single phone call because without daddy america israel will get squished so hard the poo comes out.
the evidence is every encroachment being accompanied by an energy deal, chevron is running oil in syria's golan heights, and the offshore gasfields of gaza.

(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST) >>2825139Isn't hasan dating another insanely hot twitch streamer
I opened up the sharty after 9 months and i feel like i became more dumb.
>>2825131Except this conversation is not about inventing new rhetorical terms but something that already exists that we as a movement have to reckon with. It's about whether we should be focused on correcting people on a popular misconception or whether it's more efficient as a movement to take in the wider base of people disillusioned by what is in front of them – the correct interpretation of which notwithstanding. Americans see Israeli domination of American politics and the simple conclusion most come to is 'Israel runs the US!'.
Not everyone is so heavily invested in understanding the geopolitical systems that underpin the world that they'd take the time to clearly understand them, and perhaps yelling at these people is not productive for the movement because typically people's political understanding comes from their material conditions, not how many Marxist texts they red out of their own volition.
Perhaps if we find a way to easily both dispel the tail wagging the dog myth whilst still keeping this base of disillusioned individuals, I'd welcome it with open arms but as it stands it is sadly true that many, many people believe America is run by Israel and its not about the left "lying to people" but instead how much the left plans to do more than sit on its ass and preach total political correctness.

Doctor From Gaza Frontlines Exposes Israeli Torture Programs and Missile Attacks on Hospitals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_MaynardAt some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time. Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide.
Professor Nick Maynard is a Consultant Upper GI Surgeon at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Associate Professor of Surgery at University of Oxford. He founded the Oxford Oesophagogastric Cancer Centre and previously served as President of Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland. Since 2010, he has regularly led medical missions to Gaza to teach and perform surgery, including multiple missions during the current war. A leading humanitarian advocate for Gaza, he has spoken at the United Nations and with policymakers across the US and Europe.

idea for a jubilee video: badempanada vs 50 african-american kamala voters

>>2825250ashley st claire didnt go down on elon musk, he literally mailed her his semen. he didnt even fuck her. it was some sort of bureaucratic process to get some musk allowance money and she didn't even get it. elon musk cannot fuck anymore, he has to get off to the idea of remotely impregnating women.
>>2825467 (me)
i do think that there's this psychosexual aspect to being the filthiest rich person in the universe to indulge exactly in the sort of thing that drawing represents: debasing idealized women full of convictions through sheer transaction logic, but it's so funny to me that literally the richest person on earth, the representative for that specific bourgeoisie derangement, is a fucking eunuch with a botched dick surgery. you can literally pinpoint when he got the penis enlargement surgery from his timeline, he has lost his raison d'etre,and is a lost child in a sea of yesmen, because he can't fuck.

>>2825686Wrong, it's part of the libleft cordon around BE.
>You don't want your name together with BE dude>You dont' want to be seen with someone like BE>Did you know that BE ?>Uhhh only CIA agents would be against vo0o0o0o0o0oting blue no mater who0o0o0o0o!> Uh did you know that ?They are trying to FUD away the uncomfortable questions that Anglo lef-liberals face. And it just so happens that BE is part of it. But you are seeing it with with everyone, from small youtubers to big alt-media figures like Novara or Dropsite (which is an Intercept psyop, I wont tire of saying this):
They bought their clout with liberal zionism or apolitical "pro palestine" platitudes to that effect. And they are now enlisted by the financial incentives of their environment (or in the case of Grim and Dropsite because they glow) to do imperialist and zionist propaganda.
Platner is literally a plant and a nobody, especially to foreigners. but his campaign and Mamdani's reveal just how compromised the "left" media environment is.
>>2825686Real. FD is just an unremarkable cultural critic and BE is an irksome little goblin man that constantly picks fights for clout.
>>2825705Holy degeneracy.
>>2825705fake as hell but still pretty funny
>>2825727Fetuses are delicious.
>>2825731I'm from tell Aviv and thus was my first post on the site

>>2825730noah samsen lost, fd had a meltdown, BE won.
>>2825753You're saying that when Ethan KKKlein wins, BE wins too? Curious.
Because usually when Palestinians lose, Zionists (like the KKKleins) are winning.
Are you saying BE is acting in unison un/wittingly with zionists?
If so I agree because all petty bourgeois media grifters that don't fore-front agitprop for revolutionary communist parties (has Pungent Ham-sandwich agitated for Argentinians to join any particular communist parties ever?) are all objectively reactionary, as can be discerned by his relationship with Alphabet inc and X corp (he is of service to their algorithms logic, data monetization, network boosting, network analysis, mass surveillance, AI training) – objectively reactionary.
As if voluntarily moving from one settler colony to another as a Euro "based leftist" isn't a screaming tell.
I see you. >>2825744it's an AI voice but I think the foot footage is real, everything else is fake
>>2825727This couple is clearly after money.
>>2825686I've literally been saying this for like a week lol
For what is worth BE's hard stance against Israel is a position everyone should hold, and it's kind of maddening that he's one of the few representatives of what's objectively the correct stance, it's depressing how much chapoids, and jacobinoids are willing to launder liberal zionists in exchange for scraps
>>2825759no, I'm saying noah got fucked over because IDF Implyer couldn't resist using his stream as a forum to attack BE. shocked unc wants to lecture us on discipline.
>>2825857BE

>>2825877BEcel COPEing about his favorite sexpat tankkkkkkkkoid losing to FD signifier in the debate again. Kek!!!
fd won
>>2825882>tbh all the accounts I respect are erring on the side of BE i understand if people dont like his personality but he almost always get vindicated sooner or later, betting against him is just stupid at this point
>>2825882Breadtube always was a sham and shitshow, but it has become really insufferable now it has just solidified itself as a bunch of gatekeeping, rich americans who will film 2 hour long rants about "the politics about me wanting to sleep with winnie the pooh" or some meaningless bullshit. In of itself it would be ok -I guess-, but it is this whole fucking shtick of "On the left", "as a leftist "or "heckin fighting fascism by liking and subscribing guys" that is really pissing me off, americans really are completely incapable of considering anything else but their own direct environment, politics js just another meaningless part of the spectacle and any critique on them will just be dismissed with some shite like "the vibes are off"
I wish we could get more english speaking, principled youtubers who don't care about having to walk ouyghshells all the time because saying regard or uyghur is supposedly a crime or something, but who am I kidding, they will just get money and get absorbed in to the same circus. All of these people are a plague upon our lives, and none of them should be doing what they do.
Like, I really don't care about the term ZOGslave, and I do hope it is a word that will fade in to oblivion as fast as possible, but ultimately, nobody fucking cares except for rich americans and wannabe americans (see yugopnik, hakim,etc) who created their own little kingdom on tbeir internet personas.
like, BE might be an asshole I guess, but at least I know where he stands and I really appreciate it that he didn't just jump on that american gravy train when he had the chance during his ethan klein adventure.
anyway, mobile rant and I'm not rereading it
>>2825787Women are retarded independent of a hipster podcast
>>2825686Typical vacuous BE slander
>Uhm his videos are like "good" and "informative" or whatever, but there's SO MANY other better video producers out there making that kind of content that aren't horrific monsters like this guy (posting mean things on Twitter)>Name a few? Euhhhh they're out there if you look Will we see a Rear Tru-Dank x BE link up now that we're pivoting from socfash grift last year when BE was bouncing on Hasanabi's dick (who has
always been a snake, let's not revise history) to go full circle back to shilling patsoc/nazbol adjacent rage-bait slop since petty bourg streamers are cosmically condemned from ever getting a job? It would track, given that BE is a leftypol oldfag just like H*z and Rear Tru-Dank. Hell our mods could even advertise for it on Musk's cool platform, which they love, that's what this thread is about right? (don't ever discuss the original intent behind the OP or read). The mods could then spend their Canadian Autismbux to do a little Alunya NAZBOL GANG edits, spamming monkey x hindu swastika emoji walls (triggered? heh thought so, therefore rekt) while we discuss how our small business bottom lines
https://shop.leftypol.org/ depend on picking sides in the burgeoning inter-imperialist war, diluting the class front, confusing the ideological line and securing bourgeois rule longer by picking sides! :3 le cat face! Alphabet, XCorp and Meta engagement farming, divide and conquer within online communist spaces is right now
very upwardly mobile, so don't you miss out! Ragebait and pray for funding (CIA? Russian? Chinese? Who cares!) and whatever you do do not agitate and organize the working class against the bourgeoisie as they are being laid off en mass! US big tech algo controllers think that's really cringe and bannable (hence unprofitable), stupid!
Nobody has or will give a shit about IDF Signifier outside of US gated community Disney-adult male circles. This is a criticism of our own behavior in a thread where BE shills his own content year after year and where "lefty/pol/" mods seriously are attempting to put the 'left' in fascism time and time again.
>>2826004<after reddit-spacing "paragraphs" after "paragraphs" of nothing and generational IDpol>BE seems to be the only lefty millenial on youtube that DOESN'T think the jews control his money and media career.There it is! And, no, Silicon valley does! Not as jewy then, right KKKlansman?

He posted it two days ago on based and redpilled anti-ZOG Youtube (which is owned by Alphabet Inc., if you missed the connection).
>>2825991Cope. BE is a sexpat fraud. Fd won. Giorgio LARPopolius lust big time.
>>2825991People dont tell you because BEfags can be obnoxious schizos and arent very well informed anyway. With that said, Daniel Tutt and most of the people he has on his podcast are worth listening to and he's tactful enough that even (You) would struggle to find issue.
>>2826014>Implying I don't watch those guys AND BE alreadyThey compliment each other
>>2826030Insane mega cope. BE cleared, IDF Siegheiler was just yelling at him to call him the Nword and sputtering/being dismissive of the argument
>>2826034Cope, it's because all they have to offer is libs and zios
>Here's my personal fav "tactful" podcasterDon't care, didn't ask
>>2826038I meant tactful in the sense that he'll entertain BEfag sensibilities like discussions of Rockhill and Losurdo. This is why nobody likes you BTW.
>>2826040I don't think BE has ever once talked about Rockhill or Losurdo. That's more on the tankie/china fellator side of things, which BE is not really a part of. So your use of the word tactful here is retarded
>This is why nobody likes you BTW.I literally could not care less omg, you can't even imagine how little I care
>>2826053>I don't think BE has ever once talked about Rockhill or Losurdo. That's more on the tankie/china fellator side of things, which BE is not really a part of. It is. Like BE, Rockhill considers US imperialism to be the primary contradiction
>I literally could not care less omg, you can't even imagine how little I careYou clearly do since you asked for examples of better sources than your pseud internet daddy and why nobody brings them up to you. You can easily find a more literate version of the commentary you care about yet you choose to remain a schizo eceleb fan
>>2826063>It is. Like BE, Rockhill considers US imperialism to be the primary contradictionSo? That's just what any leftist that's not an American chauvinist thinks. They differ on their views on China and Communism, which makes them not part of the same clique. Also Losurdo is still pretty much entirely unrelated to BE lol. Neither of these guys are particularly related to him, you're just seething
>You clearly do since you asked for examplesI didn't ask for examples, I just think it's a lazy critique to call him out on his video essays, saying there's SO MANY other better ones, without naming any of them.
Your projection about eceleb daddies this and that is hilarious and I still don't care

>>2825904BE stands on the side of absolving himself and other westoids from the sense of moral guilt, just like all western leftoids. The disagreement is only in how to go about it.
In centering israel's role over the US, he contradicts those actually fighting both.
Really, all that pseudoscientific horseshit in psychoanalysis, evopsych, etc. is correct but only as it pertains to westerners themselves. They really are mostly driven by psychosexual, racial and christian hangups. They live in a local reality distortion field where these things are true.
They have studied themselves and found themselves dismal, irrational creatures. The only mistake is projecting these traits on humanity, because w*stoids aren't human.
>>2826038BE lost like a little BITCH. And now everyone knows he's a sekkkkkkkkspat tankkkoid fraud larping as socialist in Argentina. Fd won . Simple as. Cry more about it you stupid idiot imbecile . Fuck youuuu
>>2826105Nah BE cleared and it wasn't even close, only the most retarded liberals would disagree
>>2826119Americans think that their politicians are really stupid, but while that is true, the sentiment is unwarranted when coming from the americans themselves, because they are always getting outmaneuvered by their politicians.
That's because the american politician is at least doing politics in the real sense, while the americans themselves are having politics done to them, unaware of the game being played.
For example, believing that the democrats and republicans are enemies
>>2826122Wrong. FD came out as the bigger man with actual integrity while Terrible taco came off as a pathetic racist goblin obsessed with drama and now his background as a nazi refugee in Argentina is known to all.
Sorry to break your bubble, BEcuckcelfag, but your guy LOST .
>>2826148Delusional. All IDF Siegheiler did was crash out, ignore the central argument and yell at BE to call him the Nword. Noah even brought BE back on later to talk about how dumb that shit was lel

There's a sizable number of "leftist men" who just use it to get pussy then act exactly like any other rich asshole would. I've forced my self to passively listen to cumtown and it's fucking dogshit, none of the members can work on their own. I'm tired of retarded AmeriKKKan millenials pretending like it was ever good.
Stavros was just smart using the media connections from being famous and rich. Adam's point is that it's entertaining how fucking bad he's at doing "serious interviews". Nick's an irrelevant edgelord. None of these people work alone unless they surround themselves with other more talented people.
And why is it and why was it ever associated with "the left". They're DSA (Democratic Party) members and at most talk about free healthcare. They made insane amounts of money from the podcast and are still making it because retarded millenials can't cancel their patreon subscriptions. Stavros has talked about wiping his shit on a towel in a hotel. Ruining some poor cleaner's da, while putting on this leftist front and "respecting women". These people are like everyone else in the media industry expect they got big during a time when being a certain brand of a safe leftist was cool.
Why should I care about two social democrat e celebs having a shit flinging match? how does that help build socialism? do any of you care about that anymore or are you just going to jerk off to the spectacle?

https://itch.io/jam/zine-o-rama-iiYou want to see the open road this summer? Gas is expensive — it might just be on a bike. Summertime approaches. El Niño is heating up. This is going to be the hottest year yet, or the coolest going forward, depending on your perspective. Irregardless, the heat is cranking up. Bodies are finding each other on sweat‑soaked dancefloors. The open road glistens with heat, more seductive than any man’s muse.
The indie printing presses keep pressing. More writers than ever before have been imprisoned. The zine represents the ultimate freedom, just like the rumble of a bike beneath you on an empty highway.
Fuck it, we’re living in the end times. This is the era of hedonism, the era of abandon, the era where you can’t win so you might as well take pleasure in losing. There’s never been a better time to make and print some zines.
Zines have had a big revival over the last few years. We want to keep that momentum going. Grow it. Tend to it like a beautiful flower. We feel compelled to encourage people to make these things and just get them out there.
So HOUDINI Magazine is continuing our annual tradition, the yearly Zine-o-Rama returns. This is the second Zine‑O‑Rama. It’s unranked. The goal? Just get people to make something. Low pressure. We want to see all types of submissions.
(We’re using “zine” pretty loosely here, the only rule is it has to be something you can reasonably print at home or the library, fold up, and carry around to give to someone in person. Tuck one into your bike's saddle bag. Leave a few on the bar counter. Hand one to the older woman who let you bum a Parliament. Leave a zine with your tip at the diner. Slip them into library books. Whatever.)
Take a look at last year's submissions for more inspiration!
Your zine could be:
- Poetry and prose
- Informational harm reduction drug education guides
- Pulp fiction, horror, and other short stories
- Comics, flipbooks, and graphic stories
- Political theory, essays, opinions
- Tabletop RPGs, small games, dice zines, playing card guides
- Erotica, confessionals, gender philosophy
- Sketchbook samples, collage, photography
- Literally anything
But if you need a bit of help, the bonus theme for this year is “After Hours”, for all the things that happen when the sun sets, when the shops close, then the rest of the world rests.
We welcome an 18+ audience. The vibe is adventure, night life and summer love in the age of collapse. The theme is completely optional.
Make it in Photoshop. Scan it by hand. Use a tool like Decker for digital versions. Crumple it a little first. However you want to do it. Just make sure your submission includes a PDF file for printing.
We just want to see as many people as possible making zines, printing zines, sharing zines. Self‑publishing thoughts and creations that can’t be pigeonholed into an algorithm. You speak it, you print it, it exists.
Let’s make some zines.
>>2826245>Tabletop RPGs, small games, dice zines, playing card guidesThis is why you aren't serious
>>2826245I rip on ya Erik, but this is pretty neat. Maybe Ill submit smt
>>2826174>None of these people work alone unless they surround themselves with other more talented people.I remember seeing a pic going around of Brace Belden hanging out with Dasha when they were quite young and before anyone knew who any of these people were, and others were reacting like, what the hell??? Like this media zone is really a small group of people who all know each other, and many of them already did know each other before doing anything.
I think that's probably common in most "creative" scenes though. We're talking about comedy / podcasting but it's also similar in music. I like industrial music and in the late 1980s there were two concentrated points of it in Chicago and Vancouver. Most of the "famous" bands were from those two cities. Then there were groups like Revco which were members of different bands who all knew each other. For whatever reason there was enough concentrated fans locally as well but there were enough musicians doing the same kind of thing in the same place to form a critical mass and generate a lot of creativity, but individual talents uh, varied. Like individually one of these guys was just barking and banging a drum.
>>2826235It's the other way around. These girls adopt a nazi larp because it's easy to get attention that way and there is a lack of women in those spaces (because they're actively hostile to women). I don't think they know much about politics
>>2826239>videotoday's satire, tomorrow's reality sadly
>>2826235>the new nazi egirl that killed herself the other day is further proof this place needs its own egirlyour conclusion doesn't follow your premise
>>2826014you need to get back on the meds.
Why do you guys hate so much trots?
t. trot
>>2826329You talk about how you want to be the epic aura farming Red Army soldiers and run a Bolshevik style party and then all said party does is do entryism into social-democratic organisations and tail the country's bourgeois liberal party. And I'm being generous by assuming you want to run a Bolshevik style party when in real life every single Trot group are more like the Mensheviks (SWP doesn't require ideological education for its members and doesn't think revolution is an achievable thing, for example).
>>2826371I watched that one I think, it's some Lebanese anarchist glowie seething for an hour lol
>>2826374>anarchist glowie seethingmany such cases, and all of them need to stop happening.
>>2826329thoughts on roman polanski?
>>2826377Yeah he was pretty much identical in content and tone (snarky, demure, pretentious, resentful, holier-than-thou attitude) like that guy Badmouse, but with an "Im lebanese so you have to listen to me" twist
It was a pretty good laugh if you wanna ragewatch something tho
>>2826385Hakim is an arab also from a nation destroyed by liberalism and a tankie, what now """anarchist""".
>>2826384admitted to drugging and raping a 13 year old

>>2826422If only, but he was talking bout Hezbollah and stuff, not Israel
>>2826426Islamists are reactionary. So is Israel. Simple as
>>2826422>uhh he's hecking lebanese, check your priviledge westoid.not a source for an actual argument about a regime being reactionary, sorry dear.
also being against Nvrth Goatria or Cubased is instant rejection of any following cope, shows you are just a whore to the status quo in every way that matters.
>>2826430these islamists in question are fighting colonization by a well backed by the global hegemony nation, so is not the same thing unless you simplify everything to justify inaction.
>>2826431How has DPRK changed the status quo in the last 70 years and how are they different from the average thirdie hybrid regime besides running a more state-directed economy and getting fucked by sanctions?
>>2826235What happened to that trans Dixiebol one we had? I forget her name
>>2826433I hate nationalists and religious nuts in my country, even if they're anti-NATO. Why would I apply a different standard to leftists from the MENA?

they're just the new western maoist at this point
>>2826430Sorry pal, but it depends on the conditions, when islamists are fighting against the spearhead of US imperialism they are not reactionary. Not every islamist group is ISIS
>>2826441What are you trying to say?
>>2826434simply by existing and opposing the status quo of liberalism and capitalism while claiming socialism already puts them against the world order, in fact you already point at them being sanctioned, because it's a war for systems and you just want to deny for self satisfaction that amounts to nil.
>>2826431>heckingopinion discarded
>>2826216>>2826201BE LLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTT
>>2826443They are though. Their entire strategy is fighting to the death, killing commies and enforcing IMF diktats. Why not recognize both the Islamist militias and Israel as fundamentally hostile to everything the left is trying to achieve?
>>2826440>I hate nationalists and religious nuts in my country, even if they're anti-NATO. Why would I apply a different standard to leftists from the MENA? because is retarded to go against the only groups in question fighting against genocidal colonization even if they are reactionary, what is this shit, Hezbolah and Hamas are reactionary, they are also enemies of the left, propped up or organic purgers of communists, but if they fall it won't be a trotskiite falacy where the true leftists will rise up after they and they will defend against colonizations that we can support, no, the lebanese and palestinians will turn into the new indians and all the leftoids and liberaloids will do is go "mea culpa, how evil we are/you are." and nothing will change.
>>2826447America doesn't ideologically discriminate in terms of sanctions or trade, they readily trade with China and Vietnam for example.
>>2826448>opinion discardedyou can't read either way, too much for your lib brain.
>>2826462>they readily trade with China and Vietnam for example.pff, yeah, i wonder why they trade with them, because they are too pasive to do anything, China and Vietnam are neutral, good or bad, but don't ever expect Fighting against the status quo in anyway from them.
>>2826443If you are fighting for socialism: you're not reactionary
If you are fighting for literally anything else: you're reactionary

Lmao. Lol. We've been here before and it never seems to go well for them. Even in much preferable conditions. In Afghanistan or Iraq at least they had a chance at 'victory', for the DPRK this fantasy is the closest they're ever going to get, and i think they know that to the point even the idiot american wouldn't be stupid enough to try.

>>2826456will it have a good ending like in that cold war game where you can side with the USSR to nuke europe ?.
>>2826482> And they fucked up in supportung any kind of nasoynalist struggle. Simple as.ah, okay, you just think the oppressed should always be oppressed if it's not your kind of revolution.
no wonder non ML's did nothing in the past 250 years.
>>2826478They supported the republican and socialist movement in Poland as a counterweight against the feudal despotism of the Russian tsardom, consistent with the fact that they wanted to break down the feudal remnants of the previous mode of production. They were right at the time given the fact that Poland was a hotbed of revolution within the Russian Empire and didn't live to see the reactionary white regime that would come to rule the Polish later.
>>2826483>will it have a good ending like in that cold war game where you can side with the USSR to nuke europe ?.Absolutely not. It does look like the best koreans will be doing a shadowy evil conspiracy in locations as far as New York and Paris, though.
>>2826456>O'Hara explained that the two nations have been deadlocked since the Korean war, and as a result, North Korea has thousands of artillery batteries pointed directly at Seoul, the capital of South Korea. To Infinity Ward, it "felt like a setting that could be ripped from the headlines," which is one of the core pillars the team is striving for when telling a story in the series.<He went on to say that it's been a long time since the "grunt perspective" has been portrayed in Modern Warfare, with the series opting for special ops teams and military veterans to lead the way in recent games. Due to South Korea's mandatory military service for adults aged between 18-28, however, it makes for the perfect setting to return to the perspective of young soldiers who "have no idea what's going on" and are blindly following orders, just trying to survive to the next moment. >>2826509Not even pretending not to do propaganda:
>Dr Sarah Son, Senior Lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield, said the move "could be controversial" as it "turns still-unresolved war into entertainment". Some Koreans reacted more positively, with one calling Korea's inclusion in one of gaming's biggest franchises a "symbolic moment", external.<Developer Infinity Ward said the game will be "grounded in the military authenticity Modern Warfare is known for".
>mong them, some Koreans reacting to the setting have embraced Infinity Ward's decision to tell the story from the perspective of ordinary South Korean soldiers caught up in the conflict.<-"The soldiers' faces and the atmosphere of the locations all have that familiar Korean feel, so I'm genuinely excited," said one, external.>-"When I heard the rumour that the ROK Army would be in it, my immediate reaction was 'obviously just an extra…'," posted another, external.>-"Then I heard they're not just present but one of the playable protagonists? And not even special forces, handled from the perspective of an ordinary conscripted soldier, that's what gets me."Oh and also, they're just trying to follow the success of battlefield, which is atm dominant in these FPSs:<Beyond the setting, Infinity Ward announced significant changes to gameplay, including revamped movement mechanics and more interactive environments.
>The studio is also overhauling DMZ, its extraction-style multiplayer mode, and introducing a new 'Frontlines' system designed to make battles feel more dynamic and reactive. >>2826498b-but it's her turn clap emoji
>>2826488MLs have achieved little to nothing for the past 40 years except reform themselves until the most radical elements are shed
whats some stupid internet drama that is going on
>>2826453Because they are in opposition to imperialism, thus they are actually in favor of leftist goals atm. Should the situation change, they will obviously become reactionaries pretty much right away, but for now they are allies
>>2826473Thank god they're fighting for socialism by militarily opposing imperialist hegemony then
>Le MLism is le fascismyawn, ultroids need to get new material
>>2826529And yet, they still accomplished vastly more in those 40 years than non MLs have accomplished in the last 250. Curious that
>>2826450BE cleared, cope & seethe
>>2826490yet in today's world the previous modes of production are all gone and political "progression" are just taste changes and nothing really revolutionary in any way, the only difference today is that one group is being exterminated and the other is not, why should ignore the political context of genocide for political instrumentation is never talked about really.
call me the j-word
>>2826546really? 90% of MLs spend their time writing shitty newspapers and running parties no one gives a fuck about, talking about how we should support failed bourgeois state #72 because le anti-imperialism while they protest with their crowd of old men
>>2826543>BE instantly becomes closer and closer to a gropyerhe's a grifter and cult leader
>>2826529and even then they are far more relevant to take the mantle of vanguard of the proletariat in any place of the world than non ML's, what does it say about ideologies that even at the lowest moment to MLism's strength, education, Popularity, organization, development of new tactics and strategies and resources thanks to the fall of the USSR can't even surpass them, devolving to namecalling and cries about being evil and being vectors to liberalism thinking after them ML's fall its our turn !.
>>2826558still waiting for MLs to do anything but write newspapers, go to protests with their 20 members, and get ignored by even the FBI and other similar groups
>>2826556>really? 90% of MLs spend their time writing shitty newspapers and running parties no one gives a fuck about, talking about how we should support failed bourgeois state #72 because le anti-imperialism while they protest with their crowd of old menactually progressive over the void of non MLism.
>>2826556Hilarious thing to say when the CPC has over 100 million members and has lifted billions out of slavery and extreme poverty all while turning China into the most powerful nation on earth, meanwhile the greatest accomplishment of the western left is CHAZ and terrorizing people into voting for the guy who would green light the Gaza holocaust. Sad!
>>2826564>muh cpc bro!!!!hardly ML in the traditional sense
>>2826565all of them besides china and vietnam are isolates that have simply become social democrats, the MLs everywhere else are either reformists or irrelevant completely
>>2826561More like still coping lel
>>2826567How’s CHAZ doing?
>>2826561>still waiting for MLs to do anything but write newspapers, go to protests with their 20 members, and get ignored by even the FBI and other similar groupsagain, you fetishise the glorious revolutionary moment over anything close to building any concentration and education between the working class, in fact you seem to disdain it, ignoring modern needs and lack of development and vain traditionalism, something every leftist, even sucdems aprove, what even are you.
>>2826571and? chaz was a piece of shit, i like how you take "MLism is a failure" to mean that i support every piece of shit failure also, because it's non-ML
>>2826567That's still an ML government that governs one fifth of the the world's population dumbass, it accomplishes more every day by simply being than nonMLs have accomplished in 250 years
>>2826575Again, how is Marxism Leninism a failure when China single-handedly disproves this?
>>2826574being an irrelevant, reformist party means nothing if you don't actually reach anyone, how relevant is the average ML party in the west? or even in the wholesome other nations?
>>2826557honestly I briefly entertained the temptation of "making content marxistly" until I observed shit pastry's trajectory
>>2826578because china surpassed MLism and became something moderately related to it? it is nothing but a social democracy now
>>2826581Completely incoherent take
>>2826580a guy like him will only ever gravitate to controversy, and will take the most absurd positions if they gain respect, he'll start saying all the groyper shit and so on, if it produces controversy and allows him to get into meaningless debates
>>2826584elaborate how china is even a ML state at this point? because it has a strong party? because it nominally calls itself communist?
>>2826590social democratic bootlicker #1784, thanks for your great response
>>2826588Because it leads the real movement
>>2826602maybe, but it is still hardly ML except in the more trivial of ways
>>2826605give me a quote from principles of leninism by j.v. stalin that contradicts what china is doing
>>2826605It's ML in the sense that it uses Marxism Leninism as the basis for their entire political structure. Hardly trivial
What's LeftyPol CONSENSUS on President Sunday?
>>2826579>being an irrelevant, reformist party means nothing if you don't actually reach anyone, how relevant is the average ML party in the west? or even in the wholesome other nations?more than non ML's i assure you, meaning even then they can grow, what about your kind ?.
>>2826646this is why every political question "in the abstract" is meaningless without the lens of the primary contradiction (imperialism) acting as an epistemic razor
>>2826466It's even sadder. Every sort of IDPOL grifter immediately abandons their own identity to declare Jewish supremacy if given the chance. Because they know it is the better label to wear. They know the power that Zionism carries in western society and, from one side or another of the political spectacle they want to latch on to it. Everyone knows that Zionism will get infinite institutional support insofar as Israel is a strategic asset for NATO. Which is forever as long as NATO exists. Which is forever as long as the USA exists. All IDPOLers wish they could claim to be Jewish right now: Ten times the claims of oppression to benefit from while being actually privileged in everything within western society.
A leftoid like FDS can't declare themselves a Zionist, but they can signal their utility by gatekeeping and crying about atisemitism and generally being useful to imperialist interests behind Israel.
Real bad pickme energy behind FDS.He demonstrates that he'd wield his blackness to defend Zionism at the drop of a hat. Or rather, at the faintest whiff of money to be made. Goyslave is appropriate. Uncle Tom for Zionists even more, but that may be too spicy for the audience, yet.
>>2826646>A counterargument is to disregard the entire discussionI get tired of this gaynazianon. Don't you ever have something non pedantic or obtuse to contribute?
Japan is not China, the historical conditions, political structures, economy and contemporary geopolitical position of these countries could not be more different. Pointing to a tokyo skyline and saying, well Japan developed too, is meaningless as a point of analysis or critique and does nothing but obfuscate the real developments of the socialist movement as it exists. We're also not talking about individuals who might have accomplished so and so, but ideologies or political ideas and what they accomplished historically and contemporarily, in their totality
>>2826341The SWP is openly zionist.
>>2826663It's not a pedantic point, especially given the point of socialism being about the social relations of production
>>2826543He's got to get those internet bucks some how
>>2826576I remember when MLs shit on China for siding with Amerika to destroy the USSR, oh how the mighty have fallen.
>>2826087Interesting that they've got a bot dedicated to saying this every time Socialism4All gets mentioned anywhere on this site. Subtle way to discourage engagement with the channel.
It's a bullshit criticism btw, since he uploads the audiobooks with commentary spliced out as well. He's not an amateur anymore and has been at this for over 6 years now. But nice try.
>>2826543He's on his way to become a Haz tier lolcow at this point. Dunno why he still has shooters here.
>>2826545>militarily opposing imperialist hegemonyThey're begging for US investment in Iran now.
>>2826565>>2826576Not even the CPC considers themselves to be ML. Stop with the cope, tanKKKidie.
>>2826868The Chinese are the biggest treatlerites on this Earth. All their influencers are rich nepobabys flexing their wealth on social media.
>>2826874You tried to bully them into caring about conquest and space and shit, but now man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind, and it's treats and gambling.
>>2826861At least Haz has a political party that gets invited to international conferences. BE is an Aussie neckbeard sitting in his apartment in Argentina with his YouTube channel. I don't why he tries to be so repulsive, his doubling down on the Jew shit is not a healthy trajectory.
>>2826874Show an average Chinese person the top western influencers and then ask them what they think of westerners based on this.
I mean one of the top political influencers is a guy who is literally nicknamed roach king and wallows in his own filth. The rest are OF whores
>>2826867Yes they do
>>2826868That is a huge accomplishment for a country operating outside of the control of US hegemony. And on a much larger scale than any other country, China could just as easily have looked like india, were it not for the Marxist Leninist foundations.
Dirigisme operated under the support of US imperialist hegemony and can only function because of that, were these countries independent or semi independent of the US hegemony, but not ML, they could not accomplish what China does and they continue to not accomplish what China does to this day. They are slaves
>>2826892The Chinese have lolcows, sluts and grifters of their own. Stop with the noble savage view of them.
>>2826905>Yes they doSource and citation, tanKKKiddie? Last time I checked they dripped ML for "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" aka succdem nationalism.
Treatlerite theory isn't Marxist. It is only for online grifters. Real life communists don't call the people they should be representing idiot sheeple. Mao didn't belittle the people, he organised all of the exploited classes.
>>2826907>Source?The chinese constitution
<Both the victory in China’s New Democratic Revolution and the successes in its socialist cause have been achieved by the Chinese people of all ethnic groups under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought by upholding truth, correcting errors, and surmounting many difficulties and obstacles. Our country will long remain in the primary stage of socialism. The fundamental task for our country is to concentrate on achieving socialist modernization along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We the Chinese people of all ethnic groups will continue, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, to uphold the people’s democratic dictatorship, stay on the socialist road, carry out reform and opening up, steadily improve the socialist institutions, develop the socialist market economy and socialist democracy, improve socialist rule of law, apply the new development philosophy, and work hard in a spirit of self-reliance to modernize step by step the country’s industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology and promote coordinated material, political, cultural-ethical, social and ecological advancement, in order to build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. >>2826918The same constitution that lets workers suffer wage theft, and overwork, yearly average workhours close to those of african and south asian neocolonies? Hope Shanghai bobo middle classes can treat themselves on the superprofits extacted from the natural resources china is monopolizing in the Congo. Next they can help the US "peacekeep" strategic straits and rowdy regions. Can't have any anti-systemic revolutions breaking out now that chinese capital is being exported into western imperialist markets.

>>2826905>And on a much larger scale than any other country, China could just as easily have looked like india, were it not for the Marxist Leninist foundations.I think the most you can say is that without accelerated reform of social conditions you don't get the same level of development later on, but what that looked like in China was several decades of semi-permanent war, including one of the most insanely long-lasting episodes of mass violence in the history of humanity from 1936-1949. But industrialization also just doesn't happen from nothing, China opened up trade barriers to the U.S. in the 1980s and studied American and Japanese industrial management methods. Like that's how they got those cyberpunk cities not because they believed in Mao Zedong Thought super hard (after a certain point).
>Dirigisme operated under the support of US imperialist hegemony and can only function because of that, were these countries independent or semi independent of the US hegemony, but not ML, they could not accomplish what China does and they continue to not accomplish what China does to this day. They are slavesIndia was allied with the Soviet Union (against China).
BE is fundamentally, by his own admission, opposed to the west - he's a third worldist who sees the first world as irredeemably evil and in need of destruction.
That is his primary political drive. Economically he's admitted he doesn't give a fuck about communism. He's more likely a social democrat than anything else.
Used to think he was based on his anti zionism and takes on Israel but now he's just devolved into using the term goy as much as possible refering to goycattle goyslaves etc which as terms originate in neo-nazi circles and he uses these terms specifically because he knows it's controversial and edgy and will annoy people.
>>2827101well, clout chasing contrarianism is not an ideology, and all that, also anti-westernism is not an ideology either
>>2827101Trve. Ever since he denounced communism altogether I just don't care about what he has to say. He's just another dime a dozen edgy political streamer.
>>2827104he's ultimately like a anti-western groyper, he believes in nothing but being a contrarian, in generating controversy, and picking fights for the fuck of it, at one point he's just gonna go fully in with no sense of irony
>>2827101>and will annoy people.it only annoys liberals and zionists (kind of the same thing), no one else cares
>>2827107>You're Zionist if you don't deep throat BE!!!You're in a cult.

>>2827176It's proven he inflates his views with bots. Also the algorithms very much likes to boost inflammatory political content such has Asmons. I wouldn't be surprised if there's ZioMAGA dark money at play as well.
>>2827104When has he denounced communism
>>2827177100%, this applies to every single rightoid online figure.
>>2827100Nobody said it's because they "really believe" in Mao Zedong thought. I am saying that the conditions that gave rise to the contemporary Chinese state are those of succesful socialist revolution, that is the primary difference between it and comparable economies. Other countries have opened up economically to the US or always were and have not seen the achievement on a scale anywhere near that of China.
India being an "ally" of the ussr at one point does not make them not subject to US economic hegemony

Getting upset over someone using goy is the same kind of pearl clutching as getting upset over a black person using the word uygha.

Which countries get attention, by the numbers
Of all the resources in the world, there’s a case to be made that attention is the most valuable. No one buys from a business they don’t know exists. No one protests their government about a cause they’ve never heard of. Attention is the prerequisite to action.
Like any valuable resource, one should want attention to be distributed relatively equitably. Unfortunately, that is anything but the case.
Even though a large majority of the world’s population lives in the Global South, in all likelihood these people occupy just a corner of your brain. People from countries like the US and France mingle comfortably in your brain’s chandelier-lit ballroom. People from countries like India and Ethiopia cram into a dimly-lit back room.
I ran the numbers to prove it. Relative to the size of their populations, the New York Times covers developed countries 25 times as much as developing countries. Wikipedia grants them 10 times more attention per person. The same pattern plays out for who you’re likely to meet. Compared to their populations, Italy gets 1400 times more visitors than Bangladesh, and Italians are also 50 times more likely to travel to the US.
Of your thousands and thousands of thoughts per day, the Global South might be lucky to catch a few. For most people in countries like the US, our worldviews are missing most of the world.
Who are the most and least overlooked countries?
Which countries get the least attention relative to their size? Or in other words, which countries should you be thinking about a lot more?
No single metric is a perfect proxy for attention, but as you can see below, I analyzed several: how much countries are covered in the media, attention via Wikipedia and Google, and how much people physically cross paths. Then, I compared these numbers to the size of countries’ populations.
Across these metrics, Bangladesh generally comes out as the country that is most overlooked, closely followed by the DR Congo and Nigeria.
It kind of makes sense. When’s the last time you read an article about Bangladesh or watched a movie set there? I would be very surprised if you’ve ever travelled there. But Bangladesh is a huge country! There are 169 million Bangladeshis, two Bangladeshis for every German.
Other countries are dramatically overlooked, too—including India and China. Yes, the two countries get a lot of attention relative to the average country. But India and China account for one-in-three humans, and they’re not getting anywhere near one-third the attention.
Of the biggest countries, Indonesians and Ethiopians also get little attentional weight, while countries like Chad (more populous than the Netherlands), Malawi (twice the size of Greece), and Madagascar (three times as many people as Sweden) are also stuffed into the recesses of our brains.
And which countries do we spend too much time thinking about? Sorry Europe, but you’re doing a real manspread in our brains over here. Of the big European countries, France, the UK, and Italy get the most attention relative to the size of their population, while the effect is even more extreme for smaller countries like Portugal and Ireland.
Now, I know that there are legitimate questions about how one should allocate attention, and whether my approach here is too simplistic. I promise I’ll get to those, but first let’s look at the numbers.
(A note: I explain my methodology for the charts and statistics in the footnotes all the way at the bottom of this post. I made sure to run some quality control and I’m confident the numbers are in the right ballpark, but you should take them with a grain of salt—you are reading a Substack with a regular dog pic section, not an academic journal.)
Who is the media showing us?
The media is the most traditional arbiter of attention, and no outlet quite captures media priorities like The New York Times. So, when I wanted to see who the media covers and who it doesn’t—without taking on an insane amount of data—I decided to look at how many NYT articles mentioned each country in 2025.1 (I imagine other major media outlets would produce similar results, though not identical.)
What do the numbers show us? The New York Times covers developed countries dramatically more than developing countries. This chart compares how many New York Times articles cover countries in comparison to their populations. (It only shows countries with more than 50 million people.) And indeed, the bars for many lower-income countries are functionally invisible—much like their citizens are to readers of The New York Times.
The ratios are staggering. Overall, when adjusting for population, The New York Times covers developed countries 25 times more than developing countries. This quite clearly skews our understanding of the world.
Imagine you’re in a stadium on a sweltering day, looking up at the stands. Your eyes scroll past an expanse of 25 rows of sweat-drenched fans, before eventually noticing a (presumably air-conditioned) glass box at the top. Imagine a journalist were covering fans’ experience of the game, and they decided to interview two sources: one from those box seats and one from the 25 rows below. It’s very apparent why this would not produce a representative story. But that’s essentially how the media covers the world.
Facile justifications don’t explain the disparities in coverage between richer and poorer countries. It makes sense that an American paper would cover the US much more than other countries, but why should this extend to developed countries more broadly? And it’s not geographical, either. Mexico is twice as populous as Italy and much closer to the US. But guess who gets more coverage in the NYT?
Developing countries are hidden on Wikipedia, too
Wikipedia serves as a fairly good proxy for the amount of information out there about different countries. As it turns out, however much we might think all people have equal worth, we know much more about some groups of people than others.
When you look at how many English-language Wikipedia articles mention each country, developed countries show up far more than developing ones.2 Among countries with more than 50 million people, developed countries are mentioned in nearly 10 times as many Wikipedia articles as their population would suggest. Just look at the chart: high-income countries are shown in green.
Here, too, this goes well beyond a fair reflection of influence and importance. Wikipedia allows us to learn extensively about even small towns in rich countries. Williamston, Michigan, a town of 4,000 people near where I grew up, has a 2,200 word Wikipedia page. But when it comes to Agbon, Benin—the 4,000 person community I lived in for two years—it has no page. The neighboring 20,000+ person town of Gouka has just a 50 word page.
Which countries are we googling?
Let’s put the ball a bit more in our court. New York Times coverage and Wikipedia entries are about what we are shown, but what about what we are seeking out? If normal people had a more holistic view of the world, we’d see them searching for countries on Google at rates closer to those countries’ populations. On the other hand, if most people have a blinkered view of the world that weights people in rich countries far more than people in poor ones, we wouldn’t.
As it turns out, the masses, too, have their eyes on rich countries. While Google search results give developing countries greater attention than Wikipedia and The New York Times, rich countries still take up much more space in Google users’ minds than their share of the global population.3
As you can see in the chart below, India gets significant attention, ranking number one in search interest. But that search interest still isn’t proportionate to the size of its population, and just look at the disparity in search interest between 260 million-person Pakistan and 80 million-person Germany. (Countries are listed in the below chart in order of their population.)
Still, it makes some sense that Google users distribute attention somewhat more evenly than other indicators of attention. You do of course need internet to be able to google, and that rules out some people in poor countries. But you also have plenty of Indians, Brazilians, and the like who are on Google, and they are more interested in their own countries than Global North-based New York Times and Wikipedia. (The fact that Google is blocked in China likely explains China’s low search interest.)
But the above chart shows who Google users worldwide are thinking about. Who are Americans thinking about? Alas, Americans’ attention is far more weighted towards rich countries. For example, Americans google Japan more than India and China, even though each has 10 times as many people as Japan.
Who are we seeing with our own eyes?
All the data I’ve presented so far has been about information we’re getting from a distance: whether we are devoting our attention to a New York Times article about a country, or if we are thinking about a country enough to Google it. But what about the places and people we see directly? The best way for something to get your attention is for it to come right into your line of sight.
Unfortunately, the places and people we see are anything but random. People from rich countries are simply much more likely to end up physically proximate to us.
This works in two directions: first, where we go. If you’re leaving your country to experience the world, there’s a pretty good chance you’re going to explore the rich world.
This chart looks at the ratio between the number of visitors countries receive and their population.4 This ratio largely follows’ countries income levels. Even relatively safe, beautiful Philippines gets one-sixth as many visitors as South Korea, a country with less than half as many people.
What about the other direction of travel—people who come to us? Before Trump, immigrants to the US actually provided a fairly representative sample of the world. Even relative to their share of the global population, the US got slightly more immigrants from developing countries than high-income countries.5 (Though immigration rates are far higher for upper-middle-income countries than lower-middle-income and low-income countries, with the UMIC figures pulled up by Mexico.)
Put together, this makes a lot of sense: people from developing countries have more of an incentive to move to the US than people from developed countries, but their path to a visa is harder and they are less likely to have the means to finance their immigration.
And they are even less likely to get the money or the visa to come to the US just for a visit. When it comes to people traveling to the US, we are dramatically more likely to come into contact with people from rich countries. A person in a high-income country is 10 times more likely to visit the US than someone from a developing country.6 For people from low-income countries, they are 200 times less likely to visit the US than someone from a high-income country.
How should we direct our attention?
To be clear, a rigid one-to-one relationship between attention and population wouldn’t make much sense. On an individual level, it’s ok (indeed, encouraged!) to pay more attention to your family than other people’s families.
And even on an aggregate level, some people and places deserve more attention. The New York Times should cover Israel and Sudan—countries actively at war—more than less eventful Austria and Algeria. Some of France’s disproportionate attention compared to China surely comes from its much better soccer teams. I understand why Aruba gets more tourists than North Macedonia.
And it is just objectively the case that the UK and France have a greater impact on the world than equally populated Tanzania and Myanmar. The UK and France are former colonial powers who now wield UN Security Council vetoes. Understanding the world requires allowing them to take up a larger share of your brain than their share of world’s population.
But where attentional inequalities become a problem is when they reinforce real world inequalities. Attention determines whose needs we prioritize, whose ideas we value, and which opportunities we take.
When Nigeria never enters our minds, it means we aren’t thinking about what we could do to make life fairer for 230 million people who, right now, tend to face daily hardships we can scarcely imagine. And misdirected attention doesn’t just hurt them—it also hurts us. It means we aren’t thinking about how to build pandemic surveillance systems and responses to climate change that protect Nigerians and Americans alike. It means we’re missing out on business opportunities and catchy songs that would make our lives more prosperous and more fun.
One doesn’t have to think that we should pay as much attention to Egypt as Germany to think that the gap should be a whole lot smaller. This won’t happen without some effort: following inertia will ensure people from richer countries remain far more likely to end up in your consciousness than people from poor countries. The media we consume is skewed towards rich countries, information about them is more easily accessible, and the people we meet are much more likely to come from rich countries.
Despite the challenges, starting to extend your worldview to the world is entirely within reach. Train your brain to remember that your daily experiences are highly unrepresentative of the world, and help make those experiences a bit more balanced.
Read publications that focus on the Global South, like the new magazine Equator (or this friendly neighborhood Substack). Go watch some Bollywood or Nollywood. Or maybe you could even take your next trip to Sri Lanka or Ghana. That doesn’t look so bad, does it?

>>2827340we need a global south/third world week on /isg/ where once a year only internet spectacle from those most ignored places is allowed here, in this way leftypol will do its part in helping making the world of brainrot more equal
>>2827244I liked it, anon.
>>2827357Look sure plenty of the people BE has beefed with are terrible people but that doesn't change that he's an unpleasant little creep with bad politics who is not trying to build anything but just clout chase off of making leftist politics even more toxic than it already is.
>>2827379>>2827377you both are retarded and unserious, BE may have idiotic opinions related to china, peru and ukraine war, but he is doing one of the best jobs regarded to the palestinean genocide and never compromised into adopting liberal zionism.
retards like (you) rather than adress the issues of jewish supremacy, and democrat cooptation, will act snarky like social fascistic breadtubers calling him australian sexpat, or doxxing him. your fuckers probably would take the side of Agent Kochinski or FD signifier which think they are above all on policing movements.
>>2827381When did I dox him lol. Some pro BE stan is the one that just posted where he lives apparently.
I just get tired of seeing him get pushed so much on this board, I'm not interested in his drama. I just think that it's funny that he does try to act like he has some kind of third worldist clout because he's an expat. Sure we have no proof he is a sexpat but that's the usual reason for angry young men to go live in the global South.
>>2827381>BE may have idiotic opinions related to chinahis opinions on dengoid Ch¥na are based tho
>>2827382>Sure we have no proofcertified BEseether moment
>>2827400>How about you motherfuckers listen to actual communists instead?but you posted some socdemslop
>>2827413how is the red line a distribution?
>>2827413i cant see any numbers on the income axis
>>2827413Why doesn't he just say the number, what a retard.
>>2827413Lib on lib violence
>>2827400>What did Stalin stand for?National liberation of Israel and Russian nationalism
>>2827278>He was just pretending to be retarded!Cope.
>>2827233Mfs on this site love deep throating the Iranian revolution and subsequent Islamist stare despite being a literal anti-communist OP paid by the CIA and Israel.
>>2827578It's even more hilarious considering the Shah couldn't manage to eliminate the communists, the Islamists did it with the help of the CIA. Some of the critical support people would make an alliance with a nationalist group in the name of democracy or anti-imperialism o algo during a revolutionary situation and end up getting impaled 2 weeks afterward
>>2827595If communists fail at revolution it's their own fault. What, you want a gold star for "being a communist"? A participation trophy?
Not every glorified communist book club deserves " support" (see afghanistan)
And yes, communists have allied with nationalists several times in history. Who wins afterwards is, again, a matter of competence. Git gud and deal with it.
You know what never happens though? Communists allying with "leftists".
>>2827619TanKKKiddies will say the thousands of communists massacred by Ayatollists or mujahideen deserved it and just "needed to git gud" but then turn around and call you a glowie wrecker for reading Adorno. No wonder they have achieved nothing besides losing the cold war.
>>2827671Trotskyite intellectuals are not communist
>>2827675The real communists were Islamists backed by CIA and Mossad!
>>2827677The “real communists” converted to Twelver Shiism because they correctly understood that was where the real movement was located in the Iranian context. It’s almost like Marxism Leninism isn’t a static dogma but dependent on the material conditions of each nation
