Facebook's Threads is so depressing by Jason O. Gilbert
https://jogblog.substack.com/p/facebooks-threads-is-so-depressing>>2902558>>2902559he hasn't been the same since bernie lost
>>2902544Disheveled guys who wear wide-brimmed hats like that are always conspiracy manics for some reason.
>>2902562The question with these things however is how do you "disallow" someone from attacking you other than attacking them first in "preemptive" war.
Part of the difficulty is that the people in governments often know that war is coming one way or another, so they try to shape the conditions upon which the war begins. There's also a gap between when a decision to make war and the actual beginning of it because it takes time to move the pieces into place. This also happened at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War where Lincoln sent ships to resupply a fort off the coast of South Carolina knowing that Confederate forces would begin firing rather than just starving the Union garrison out. In that sense Lincoln b&'d them but the Confederacy still started the war. Are they gonna be like "Lincoln was a hypocrite!" Herp derp.
There's a kind of irony / plot twist / historical "cunning" to Jimmy Dore types. He was kind of like a petit-bourgeois anarchist in his mentality. Then with all things there was a movement to the opposites so he has become a rightist. But there's a throughline in the underlying logic to his thinking. Also I'm sure he opposes the Iran war but the Trump administration essentially claims it's a "preemptive" war because they say Iran is run by religious nutcases and if they had a nuclear weapon then they'd use it. So it's probably for the best we bomb the bejesus out of them lest we not "allow" another Pearl Harbor to take place!!!
what is jimmies dores current political beliefs, anyway?
>>2902559I know he has been an anti-covid vax warrior, even praising rfk jr; completely out of depth, out of his field and out of his mind with covid vaccines; and technically speaking the US was expecting a military attack from Japan, since the US stole a bunch of Japanese assets that were held in US bank accounts, so the US wanted to join WWII…
but call Pearl harbor a 'false flag' implies that the us pilots were bombing the harbor, that's borderline alex jones behavior.
>>2902564yeah, I saw him losing his eyes sparks gradually, but steadily, with every bernie de-radicalizing decision.
jimmy would have been bernie's foot soldier in a US civil war, in the first line of any offensive or defensive position, gladly, and he would have had those fiery eyes everywhere in those trenches, even if he were to face certain death for the old vermonter cunt.
>>2902576At this point the most fitting characterization I can think of is that he's an anarchist.
>>2902496those are still amalgams of abuse imagery. this ruling implies that child porn is ok if it has been laundered by "AI"
>>2902578I thought he had become a bit of a rightard?
Inb4 >same thing I’m currently writing a science fiction novel inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Alan Moore, Hideo Kojima and the Cybernetic Research Unit.
>>2902575>pre-emptive attackAs someone interested in the "laws" of war, say, I have found this idea interesting. The theory of Just War is one of self-defense; and so is always responsive rather than offensive. Intent is classified as a type of crime in civil law, where premeditation gives cause to prevent it. For example, if someone plans to commit a crime, this itself is a crime. If a terrorist plans to terrorise, this itself is terrorism, and thus grants a right of the potentially-offended party to intervene by pre-emption. We can otherwise call this a "threat of force", quite related to incitement. The issue is then determining the extent of potential crime, since this gives reminiscence of "pre-crime", such as in Minority Report, or the crimes of the unconscious in Orwell's 1984 (of course, in totalitarian Liberalism, "unconscious bias" has official registry as an offence). The potency of something is not its actuality, which is to be understood, yet potential is what causes activity, and activity may be offensive.
In the realm of pre-emption, however, a worldview of "total war" is inevitable, which leads to the persecution of all potential enemies. It is something which cannot end well, since it makes everybody guilty. Fir practical purposes, pre-emption secures the rights of a hegemon, as opposed to allowing for constant competition. This is why both Kant and Hegel regarded war as progressive, since it leads to a greater peace. For example, tribal conflicts lead to national concessions, and international conflicts lead to imperial concessions, and so on. War is imagined to collapse states into a larger body, and this is why Kant saw a global government as the ONLY means of "Perpetual Peace". But is this even possible (regardless of its desirability)? I am reminded of the cartoon series "Code Geass", where the British Empire never ended, and took over most of the world. What we see is like what we see today, which are the contradictions of core and periphery. It seems impossible to deliver the maximum demands of all people at all times, which is why anti-colonial nationalism (e.g. African politics) was seen as necessary, but independence does not mean security, or freedom, if your leaders are corrupt, say. To conclude on this point, war cannot resolve its internal contradictions, because it is bound to the same laws as civil society, in the protection of private property.

>>2902147gimme link.
>>2901238>>2901239Well, I've read abut the history of Spain during the fascist era, and by the time the first deals with the US and Spain started (similar like the Marshall plan) in exchange for military bases, franco was long gone from the public sphere and appearances, with people speculating his death.
I recommend you to some novels from that time, like
The Backroom from Carmen Martin Gaite. I remember specifically the author describes that for years Franco disappeared from the public scene, because his acolytes were hiding his deterioration and decay.
franco was a clownish man, loved parades, speak on the radio, be on tv every day, be the centerpiece of the public scene.
>>2902717You do realize that's fake right? That's his friend pretending to be his "Dad".
>>2902451the reaction podcast is still going still has mike from penny arcade and this weird ass defamation campaign isn't working.
Good job on taking XCancel down Elon I'm still not creating an account on your site
>>2902969Well, Trump managed to normalize his derangement, but that doesn’t mean normie Democrat voters accept Hasan.
>>2902603sound cool, I hope it turns out well. Are you drawing from Moore's comics or prose fiction?
>>2902974normie democrat voters are hasan's audience
>>2902998Unironically how Hasan will look in a few years. He's gonna age twenty years in five and lose most of his fitness chasing the advice of Democrat handlers for whom the image of health and privilege is "unapproachable". To please a target audience of constitutionally-decrepit, intersectionalmaxxed, liberal progressives and their unfortunate children.
Like Asmongold, with whom he shares managing agency, Hasan has to maxx out on mediocrity not to offend the fragile egos of the rock bottom common denominator.
>>2903014quite the opposite actually. the reason they like him is that he presents as aggressively masculine. he is the best fit for the golden goose they've been chasing: the joe rogan of the left. the only problem the democratic party have with him is that he is too leftist. so they're pressuring him to liberalize his views. they've made a lot of progress in that regard. and the work continues.
>>2903016>Will he call fink a liberal Zionist ???Is he not ? I vaguely recall in his interview with Jeremy Corbyn that he though a "one state solution is impossible" (I'm paraphrasing) which, at least to me seems like liberal zionism by proxy. Saying it is a genocidal society and that's bad, but there's nothing to be done besides state our disapproval for the record.
>>2902998>>2903014>>2903016I will never understand neocons framing of Hasan and especially Mamdani as radical Maoists or Bolsheviks when they’re just standard wimpy DemSocs. like Hasan chickened out of fighting Sam Hyde of all people
>>2903048Because communism is evil (muh gorillions) and democratic socialism is when the government does stuff (respectable)
>>2903016Finkelstein
eats books. I don't think he follows any streamers closely.
>>2903050RW boomers and Gen X have a pathological fear of socialism. Even those on the left who purported to support it among that generation, 99% of them were just using it as a symbol to piss off their parents and society. So they lump it in with other contradictory, broadly leftist and liberal movements, like Free Tibet for example.
>>2903102talking point shamelessly stolen from russell brand 😣
respect your ancestors
>>2903048I don't see how fighting Sam Hyde is going to advance class consciousness
>>2903109rip russell brand
he a legit did a 180 in his entire anti establishment anti-voting politics after accusation
>>2903128he had been drifting right for years TBF, most notable during COVID where he went full far right but even before that he was promoting psuedo-right wing ideas
>>2903127You have to beat the shit of a fat ugly retard like sam fag to advance communism, thats what marx said.
>>2903145It would only be acceptable if Hasan went in there, completely ignored the rules of boxing and just lumps the cunt with a hammer before proceeding to stomp him in the head. Maybe finish with an amusing quip about how reactionaries deserve no consideration.
Hasan would never.
>>2903148In a alternative timeline, Hasan is based like that and doesn't pander to democrats. Unfortunely we don't live in that one.
>>2903166It's the way that without fail double down whenever they end a random person or beat a child that really sickens me the most.
>>2903174I've never seen footage of a cop apologising, ever.
They will lie to the ends of the earth to protect their ego.
>>2903176I imagine it's more policy than it is ego. Something about not admitting fault for legal reasons.
>>2903127>I don't see how fighting Sam Hyde is going to advance class consciousnesssam is literally bourgeois, the class enemy of the proletariat, class consciousness is born out of class struggle, not the other way, beating the shit out of the bourgeois is literally the thing that advances class consciousness the most, you are a complete moron that doesnt understand communism at all, never post again
>>2903303Rare good effortpost.
>>2903303If our side was guaranteed to win then yeah sure, but Sam Hyde seems like a nasty repellent cunt, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a decent fighter otherwise he wouldn't be going around challenging people. Btw, "punch Nazis" isn't saying "engage them in fair fights", it's saying fucking batter them.
hasan fans be like: shilling for a bourgeois party? class consciusness, fighting the bourgeoisie? this has nothing to do with class consciusness you fucking fed!
>>2903326Hasan has enough money to find a profesional trainer and he does steroids so there is no excuse, the truth is Hasan simply has too much class solidarity with Sam to fight him
>>2903333Why though? The weird fucker doesn't deserve any attention beyond being clobbered in an alley somewhere.
>>2903333There's still a risk of losing no matter how much training he does, and what does he have to gain? Hasan s one of the most popular figures on the internet and Sam Hyde is a washed up weirdo. Even if Hasan wins it wouldn't help him that much but if he loses it would be a humiliation.
>>2903143Anthony Fantano used to be alt-right (not surprising since he got his start on 4chan) even inviting people like Sam Hyde to his podcast, then Fader wrote a hitpiece about him and he started pretending he was always a leftist. It worked.
>>2903357>picYea, there's no way he's on steroids lmao.
>>2903393I used to post on /mu/ from 2014 to 2019, you can pinpoint the exact moment the board went to shit to that "Unbereable Whiteness of Indie" article on Pitchfork in 2015 which foreshadowed the whole 2016 election bullshit. The board has never recovered since then.
Pretty sure all the hipster millenials that posted on boards like /fa/, lit/ and /mu/ are on the Red Scare subreddits now
>>2903393i don't think melon is sincerely a leftist tbh
you can tell when someone who came from the 4chan scene is actually a leftoid and when they are just masking, i think he's much more chuddy in private
how do I know this? bc i also arose from the 4chan scene, lol during gamergate when i was in high school I had over 10k twitter followers and had people like sargon's personal phone numbers.
basically fantano would tell you that saying faggot is wrong and you're bad for doing it and i'm just gonna call you a faggot because you can't take the imageboard out of a mf
>>2903048bro. you're so good at bait.
>>2903393Fantano was a 4chan edgy oldhead but never alt-right or /pol/cel. I mean, he is vegan, staunch democrat supporter and had a black wife. That's just something chuds ain't into.
>>2903048I think Hasan fits in "centrist Marxism". It's a term for communist parties that supported proletarian revolution but also weren't opposed to social reforms, in opposition to more radical parties that opposed social democracy out of principle.
>>2903442this is the most rational position to have as a leftist but leftypol will never admit it because they want to larp as bolsheviks
>>2903441I wonder if the baddie shirt is her standard gear?
alleging the address
Lucia is going to become a pop culture icon on par with the Major from GITS. I am calling it.
>>2903466Right-wingers be like:
Hard science like climate change, evolution, vaccines is fake
Soft science like autism score (psychology) is unquestionable truth
>>2903464One of those gay guys should've pity fucked her.
>>2903466Is this the "capitalism is the most scientific shit ever and communism is the opposite" woman?
>>2903466based fuck this transphobic foid
>>2903467Not to mention most of these "race and autism score" studies that they love to cite were made by people like Richard Lynn who used faulty methodology and were trying to push a political agenda, not exactly unbiased outside observers that were just concerned with the truth
autism score differences between racial groups can be attributed to class differences but it doesn't fit the right-wing ideology that billionaires deserve their position because they are genetically superior
Nathan Cofnas is a philosophy grad student by the way. No disrespect to philosophers but not exactly the people you should trust when it comes to matters of neuroscience or psychology
>>2903333Uighur's he's Terrified to fight him.
>>2903441It's funny how in ten years the right went from "Those SJW feminists are offended by everything" to whining and crying all the time about media.
>>2903469It's funny because you go read that Austrian School "praxeology" stuff that rightoids love, it's literally just vibes. They actively reject the use of mathematics because it contradicts all their bullshit
Marxian economics while unorthodox is much more scientific than that crap, not to mention mainstream schools of economics like Keynesianism
>>2902958>Flyover State Progressive-HicksWhat the fuck does this even mean? Pretty sure flyover states are all red.
Are rightoids trying to LARP as smug liberals now?
>>2903507That's the entire point of the Dimes Square/Thiel/Red Scare stuff, NYC liberal smugness combined with right-wing ideology
Genuinely the most annoying people on Earth
>>2903102>when i was broke>nephew of Cenk1-800-555-LARP
these types can never just accept that they aren't poor. Hasan would blow his brains out if he had to live one (1) day in my shoes as an actual poor person
>>2903441the worst thing about these people is that they will never engage with you, if you take the time to deconstruct their horseshit. like, if you point out that the image in its totality is likely comprised of images that were created independently of one another and sort of amassed into a holistic image, and therefore the male character's position relative to the fucking passenger side door is largely irrelevant, they won't acknowledge that. they won't acknowledge that the man's gun is on display for everyone to see, thus his body language may communicate a sort of swagger or peacocking with a criminal bent, rather than "tucked and cucked". they will never acknowledge that they're looking too hard into the color of each character's bandana for fuck's sake.
they just won't acknowledge anything that will run counter to their schizobabble narrative.
>>2903507not that anon but there is a stereotype called the "hick lib", basically a liberal who for some reason lives in a red state
>>2903393>Anthony Fantano used to be alt-rightI don't think that's true. Being a south park style edgelord in 2014 and posting on /mu/ doesn't necessarily make you alt-right.
>>2903519it's cool how gaming is overrun by these types, like this woman has done more for the culture than any rightoid has period but she's not welcome and they are, fuck em
total gamer death tbh
>>2903538a lot of the feminism of the 2010s was not really based on anything material or centered around economics or class in any real way. one of the big things with gamergate was the banning of booth babes and the policing of cosplayers. well the labor around "booth babes" (a term the workers themselves strongly dislike, prefering promotional model or product stewardess) didn't go away. it became more precarious, instead of getting a W2 and a slew of benefits that come with being hired by a publisher like Square Enix to dress as Lara Croft and promote the new game, now "professional fans" live of onlyfans and patreon funds to do the same thing. So all of these women either lost their jobs or had their labor capacity greatly reduced in the name of making the industry more friendly to women, despite the fact that these women (not the right kind of women) worked in the industry, and according to one of the biggest proponents of the "booth babe ban" Stephen Chen most of the marketing teams were women! "Most of the marketing teams that I have worked with are predominantly women, but it's frankly not the battle that they choose to fight."
https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/13/booth-babes-dont-convert/so the marketing teams are mostly women, who are hiring women to promote the product, and the issue is that we need to get rid of these women, in order to make the industry more friendly to women?
And there was no discussion of unionizing, or building a list of demands, no discussion of worker's protections, seldom did these people ask what the promotional models wanted. It's pretty easy to see how this type of feminism shifts into TERFism especially given that the largest cultural space for TERFs (the Womyn's Festival) shutdown in 2015, right around the time that trans rights, and trans women, especially in gamer spaces, were becoming more and more accepted. What would have happened if, in 2015, when PAX banned 'booth babes' and also had Jessica Negri removed for her cosplay being too sexual, if those models and cosplayers unionized? What if they had worked with the IWW, which had already organized sex workers in San Francisco and strippers in Portland? What if this lead to a charter for a new local: the Promotional Models and Brand Ambassadors Union. That's what actual materialist feminism would have looked like in the 2010s, it didn't happen and now we have to live with the pincer attack of the right and the terfs smothering everything, which is exactly what happened last year when feminist group Collective Shout forced Itch.io to demonetize all adult and lgbt content to "protect women". Despite the fact that the majority of the creators on the platform for those genres are women! It's madonna/whore shit.
>>2903538Total ant death.

>>2903562Trans women on Twitter kept pestering Nick Land to watch Serial Experiments Lain but I don't think he ever got to it, there are many similar ideas in the two since they were both inspired by cyberpunk fiction
There's also a lot of fan art of Lain with Aphex Twin T-shirts for some reason
>>2903572Nick Land watching Lain is especially funny because the entire ending is basically telling people like him to fuck off and die
>>2903562The new Neuromancer show looks fine but honestly the only way to truly capture the manic seedy energy of the book would for it to have been a late 80s/early 90s professional-budget grindhouse anime like Wicked City
>>2903572>There's also a lot of fan art of Lain with Aphex Twin T-shirts for some reasonBecause people usually discover these two at the same age (about 16) when they have their angsty teenager phase
Nick Land was just a nerd who was big on RPGs like The Call of Cthulhu and Cyberpunk and decided to become an academic philosopher while taking drugs and going to techno clubs on his free time
Once you get past his "theory-fiction" gimmick there's very little original thought in there, it's mostly just a hodgepodge of Deleuze-Guattari, Gibson, Lovecraft, etc. Mark Fisher was a far superior writer besides having better politics
Thomas Ligotti also did the Lovecraftian horror way better
Didn't Oneohtrix Point Never said his album Age Of was inspired by Nick Land, then got shit on for it and he had to clarify it was early work and he didn't approve of his later reactionary turn
This uygha invented vaporwave, produced for major artists like The Weekend and he still has the time to read some obscure philosopher that's mostly known because of being a meme on /lit/
>>2903595Respect to american black people. Fuck adverts, they just have the self-respect not to want their likehood on that shite.
I forgot the most important part, he dated DASHA
>>2903618That wasn't why they were against it.
Dasha Nekrasova known for… hosting a shitty podcast, doing a voice part on Disco Elysium that was later removed from the final game and being the subject of a Charli XCX song
Why are you guys so obsessed with this dumb hoe
>>2903621They have a parasocial crush and are ashamed of it due to dasha being a shitty asshole
>>2903562so heccin quirky

idk if I'm getting old or what, but plot twists are reddit
You guys need to stop using this general as your microblog. Go to /siberia/ or fucking Twitter already
>>2903621Which Carli XCX song? I genuinely don’t know
>>2903588I mean yeah, there’s not enough meat for a TV series. The story material fits pretty neatly into a 2.5-3 hour movie
>>2903675Charli has to marry Adam Friedland for the storyline to be complete
>>2903687>film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky>based on Dune by Frank Herbert>art direction by H. R. Giger and Moebius>soundtrack including Gong, Magma, Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream>starring Mick Jagger, Orson Welles and Salvador DalíIt was just too ambitious to ever work out. They actually sent the script to a bunch of studios and it influenced a ton of science fiction movies like Alien, The Terminator, Star Wars, etc.
>>2903687We need Elon Musk's "historically accurate" Odyssey first (Germanic actors in Ancient Greece)
How does anyone make "historically accurate" Odyssey. That's like historically accurate Lord of the Rings
Has Elon even read the fucking poem
>>2903694By historically accurate they mean portraying all characters as blonde blue eyed white people in true Nazi propaganda style
>>2903617nick land isnt obscure, he is like THE philosopher of the silicon valley tech elite alongside yarvin
>>2903700Which is ironic because he lives in mainlaind China
>>2903710Socialism with Chinese characteristics for me technofascism for you
Left-wing accelerationism: We need to accelerate the contradictions of capitalism to bringsits own downfall
Right-wing accelerationism: We need to accelerate the contradictions of capitalism… just for the hell of it
And then there's "militant accelerationism" which is Neo-Nazis completely misunderstanding Nick Land because they are retarded
>>2903721It's actually similar to left-wing accelerationism except instead of "capitalism" it's the "ZOG" o algo
Where Nick Land wanted to create a hypercapitalist technological utopia
Ah and there's "effective accelerationism" which is the tech bro version
Nick Land was actually quite influential, from the Christchurch mosque shooter to Peter Thiel
Have you guys considered he may have fried his brain with all the drugs he was taking
Like how do you from collaborating with Mark Fisher to simping for Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. He's not mentally well
>>2903743I mean I’m not an academic philosopher but that’s pretty obvious what happened. I tried reading some of his CCRU shit back in the day and each one was visibly more deranged than the last
>>2903704and that would work how exactly
Has anyone used AI to recreate Das Kapital volume 4?
Instead of reading reactionary garbage like Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land, you could read Yanis Varoufakis’ “Technofeudalism” which describes their ideology from a leftist perspective.
A Greek Marxist economist who worked for the left-wing Syriza government and also private companies like Valve. One of the most interesting figures alive.
Charli XCX really put a song about a trans woman (Sophie) and a transphobe (Dasha) on the same album
>>2903782Is she actually a TERF though? From what I’ve heard from the podcast Anna is the chud while Dasha is just stupid and goes along with everything her friend says
Anna seems to hate black people in particular to the point even Azealia Banks called her out on her racism, I wonder if she had a bad experience with blacks.
What happened to that Academic Agent guy. I only knew him from losing a debate on the LTV back in the day (WHAT DOES C V AND S STAND FOR?)) and now I see him making videos about Baudrillard and shit and his video on Althusser got a response from paul Cockshott lmao
>>2903774Nick Land does writes some interesting stuff, “Fanged Noumena” is a genuinely good piece of experimental literature even though he owes a lot to his artistic and philosophical influences like schizoanalysis, Lovecraftian horror, cyberpunk, etc.
Curtis Yarvin is just cringe neckbeard trash and I don’t know how anyone takes him seriously.
The owner of Hyperdub (which is Burial’s record label) was part of CCRU, Mark Fisher was a Burial fan and mentioned him as an example of “hauntology” in music.
Simon Reynolds (British music journalist mostly known for coining the term “post-rock” in a review of Bark Psychosis’ Hex) was also strongly influenced by Mark Fisher.
The Caretaker (known for the 6 hour ambient concept album about dementia sampling old jazz records which went viral on TikTok) made a tribute album to Mark Fisher after his death.
(I trans heart flexing my cultural capital to strangers on an leftist imageboard)
>>2903688>Gong>Magma>Tangerine DreamMy man had great taste. The 70s progressive rock scene really was some of the best music ever made
I mean Gong was a commune who made psychedelic songs about dwarves and mushrooms
Tangerine Dream were making space music with analog synthesizers
And then Magma might be the weirdest band ever. They invented their own genre called Zeuhl which is progressive rock + John Coltrane jazz + operatic choques inspired by Carl Orff sung in a constructed language.
>>2903774>you could read Yanis Varoufakis’ “Technofeudalism”you also could read actual books that aren't dumbed down pseud slop that gets lost in its own incoherent ramblings.
>>2903795lol i remembr that 3hr debate with jack the marxist. at some point he got into grover furr and became stalin-pilled

>>2903795academic agent believes in something called elite theory, basically elites control everything and voters dont matter or something like that. for a while he had a hard on for tony blair and moderate neoliberlism.

>>2904050Ah that's like James Burnham.
>Elite theories arose when it became evident that the working class was not capable of doing politics. I regard them as an attempt to preserve the possibility of politics in the aftermath of this collapse. They involve positing an alternative social unit that is able to do politics. There are all sorts of candidates—the oligarchs, the professionals, the middle class, the students, the new social movements, et cetera.
>Elite theories operate from the premise that politics still occurs, so someone must be doing it. The task of the theorist is to figure out how to best describe the social unit that does the politics that must somehow still be going on. But there is another possibility—politics itself may no longer occur, or its form may have changed, such that it is no longer appropriate to speak in this way.https://bmstudebaker.substack.com/p/against-elite-theory >>2904049You can't beat something with nothing, and the democrats have nothing

Being outside of America amplifies that but I feel most young people just know these as meme/pop culture "icons" not for their politics.
It's kind of crazy the first time I heard Hasan was on DeProgram which was very fringe but has turned out to be more similar to Hasan.
I can't imagine anyone sitting down to watch a stream when 40-90% of it is seemingly misc boring activities like eating.
I heard of a friend of a friend that actually watched/was a fan of him but started hating on him with all the drama. These people just cultivate their own fans and parasocial relationships not people into any serious political movements (and in Hasan's case even if he does he's just funneling them into the Democratic party).

>>2904192chuds have been angry at gta since they decided that killing pigs was wrong
>>2904459really doesn't make sense because from the beginning of the HD era the bleak violence and sadism has outpaced the humour and the games only truly serve the reactionary mind.
the moral panic was retarded, but gta obviously encourages violence: there is no relation between the player character and NPCs that is non antagonistic. creative play with them is limited to provocation then assault. the world is as vast as the ocean but deep as a puddle.
gta was way cooler when it was lo-fi and transgressive. now that it's an institution and one of the highest grossing series of all time it underscores that the games are bloated with slop side content and don't have much to say.
>>2904504>there is no relation between the player character and NPCs that is non antagonistic. creative play with them is limited to provocation then assaultTotally untrue. Yeah it's not like it's a full life sim where you can just pick a random person on the street and go on a date with them, but you can be like "heyy : )" at least in GTA IV (dunno if in GTA V). You can also play as a paramedic in the older games, they reintroduced playing as a firefighter in GTA V online mode as well.
If we're talking named NPCs then there's ones you can hang out with, do random activities and be generally not anti-social.
I mean it's just such a ridiculous critique anyway, truly Anita Sarkeesian level, like obviously the game is basically a criminal simulator, but so what? Do you also hold movies/books/etc to the same standard, everything has to be Sylvanian Families where nothing bad ever happens and there's no conflict in case it makes people anti-social? Somehow I imagine that no you don't.
>>2904518>the game is basically a criminal simulatorso you admit he's right, that the critique is accurate, but… it must be wrong or irrelevant because it makes you feel uncomfortable?
he's right, the game caters to reactionaries, but at the same time, the chuds are a step ahead of the liberal writers, they can see that the police is instrumental to their antisocial behavior, and so they would much rather have a game where you only brutalize the underclass
and they hate women, and I don't mean this in a abstract or metaphysical way, they personally dislike women, specially the stock woman character that has been constructed by media. incel chuds are not "shy" they are not "unprepared for relationships" or whatever other bullshit the liberals have made up avoid confronting reality: they straight up can't stand women
so it doesn't really make sense for me. it is still a gta game, which means it is still a shooter and racing game, they are not targeting women as a demographic… I guess the public is vaguely liberal men that nonetheless like violent videogames? it's weird
>>2903357How old is this man? He acts like a 20 year old, for shame.
>the game is a criminal simulator
Literally only matters if you ascribe to the reactoid theory that art is a magical brainwashing bad vibes contaminant (believing this is a sign of needing to touch grass)
>>2904649this woman is not right in the head, and her testimony that she heard voices might hold water, but it's hard to gauge, because according to what I have read, which is just the wikipedia article, it seems like the professionals responsible for treating her couldn't agree on a diagnosis. she was given a cabinet drawer of different drugs to solve her problems over the course of months, but then told that she was over medicated when she joined a support group for postpartum depression. sounds to me like she didn't get the treatment she needed, and no, it doesn't excuse what she did, but like… you can't help but have some amount of sympathy for this woman.
however, none of this changes the fact that she did it so she should probably be institutionalized.

>>2904693- talk normal
- the "media is just media" thing is liberal, marxists have always regarded it as something capable of influencing people
and you're out of your mind if you think a game like this would be allocated as much funding as this game had, or allowed to be publicized in the open like this. if it was allowed to exist in the first place, that is
>>2904711better yet: it's nothing at all, they made it up. it's an ad. they are advertising it as a dating simulator. anime has really become mainstream: rockstar is making a slice of life dating sim. I hope they add gacha too so you can gamble to get new girlfriends

people shouldn't have to fight a constant psychological war against all media all the time, it is impractical and exhausting. it's the same argument for why the state should regulate foods: sure, you could leave it as the responsibility of the individual to do their own research and vet brands or whatever, but there is no reason why you should put that burden on everyone
>>2904769>taking an ad at face valueyou're dumber than their target audience
>>2904768I’m going to be honest, you come off as the type of person I’m talking about.
Let’s review:
>writing in informal vernacular means you are cognitively disabled>I don’t like certain things in media, therefore it’s an exhausting struggle to have to be around these things for everybodyI’m going to be blunt, this comes off to me as projection and pearl-clutching
>>2904775>informal vernacularyes, if that's your "informal vernacular", you are either a teenager with issues or you have been so thoroughly influenced by imageboards that you talk like one even though you're an adult (with even worse issues)
>I don’t like certain things in mediaexactly, and when the majority of people don't want paint in their milk, they shouldn't have to research brands or whatever, it should just be a law with government enforcement that you can't put paint in the milk
why do you think all the movies in china have to be pg or lower to be shown in theaters? why do you think the new deal came with the hays code?
>>2904794All you’ve done is double down on projection while idealizing China as supposed evidence. I’m not impressed by your reasoning.
>exactly,No, not exactly. You’re just projecting your own dislikes and assuming everybody is as fragile as you.
>the hays codeWhich got dismantled because folks got sick of it.
>>2904806ok so if I say that something shouldn't be shown in public or maybe even exist, you say I'm projecting my preferences. if I then cite historical examples of progressive media censorship, both socialist and socdem, you claim that I'm idealizing (without providing counter-examples or evidence)
>me no liek censorship!ok dumb dumb, but that's not an argument unfortunately
>>2904807>ok so if I say that something shouldn't be shown in public or maybe even exist, you say I'm projecting my preferences. iYeah that's correct
>if I then cite historical examples of progressive media censorshipBut you didn't. You cited the Hays code which wasn't progressive but reactionary and gestured vaguely at China.
>>2904807Yes, you’re projecting. You can’t logically or empirically demonstrate that other people in aggregate react with the same distress that you feel towards certain kinds of media to the extent that it’s a social problem. You’re just stamping your feet and saying it’s true because you said so.
>but XYZ did it too!So what? Our side can make mistakes too. Stalin was a homophobe, does that mean I should be one?
> >me no liek censorship!>ok dumb dumb, but that's not an argument unfortunatelyWhat was that about talking like a kid?
>>2904742>better yet: it's nothing at all, they made it up. it's an ad.absolutely, they're hyping this up when it's kinda obvious the dating stuff will exist exclusively in some cutscenes during story missions and MAYBE within some recreational side-content and will have little bearing or consequence gameplay-wise. it's not like you can let the player do anything to the relationship when it's so tied to the linear storytelling.
>>2904794>why do you think all the movies in china have to be pg or lower to be shown in theaters?Detective Chinatown 3 is the 9th highest grossing movie of all time in China and it's rated R.
>>2904518I was talking about creative play, you're referring to structured play. mgs manages to have significantly deeper npc interactions in spite of its npcs being armed enemy soldiers. there are no cute or funny (besides slapstick) interactions with the npcs in gta. until V was re-released with first person you couldn't even look at them standing face to face close enough to see their face without raising your fists or pointing a gun at them. the only things gta has an in depth immersive simulation of are reckless driving and spree killing, and the world barely reacts to reckless driving.

>>2904335One thing, Franco had Parkinson. Parkinson is also a cognitive decline illness. Thus, makes it completely possible that by the 50s, when Spain was signing the deal with the US, he was being casted away by his own followers, as I am arguing.
and about his fading from public scene here is some quick evidence:
>By the 1960’s, Franco began to age noticeably. Nearly seventy years old, he was suffering from Parkinson’s disease, a paralytic illness caused by the progressive degeneration of nerve cells at the base of the brain. Hastening his physical demise was a hunting accident that Franco suffered on Christmas Eve, 1961. His shotgun exploded in his left hand, seriously injuring it. This incident made Franco’s followers realize that he was indeed mortal. Although the injury caused him considerable pain, Franco broadcast his traditional end-of-the-year message. By 1968, Franco began to withdraw completely into leisure pursuits and family activities to the growing exclusion of official duties. On January 15, 1969, Franco finally informed Juan Carlos that he would be officially designated as the political heir.https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/death-franco >>2904983if you need a tweet to help you identify an obvious false equivalence in an extremely reductive meme, i dont know what to say to you

>>2904983the meme is objectively correct tho
>>2904886>People have always been killing their babies since forever. Yeah postpartum depression is a thing because of the physiological changes that women go through because of childbirth, and if you add pre-existing mental illness … there's also a danger of shaken baby syndrome where a woman suffering from stress and depression shakes a baby because the baby won't stop crying which then causes irrecoverable brain damage to the child. That's a really horrible thing.

I guess we'll see if that makes it to release: they had lewd stuff in san andreas before they half arsed cutting it out.
doesn't really matter to me. I'm past my edgy phase and GTAV was the most boring shit I ever played to the point I tapped out after the first heist: solo free roam is the most interesting part, but rockstar won't expand it because they want to channel players into the MMO because social gameplay is more retentive and profitable than emergent gameplay.
plus I'm happy waiting a decade for the ps5 to be cracked before I play it because the games are just depressing and I'm fucked if I'm gonna support rockstar and taketwo hiring pinkertons and scabs.

>>2904909 (edited again, ok this is the last time i edit and repost this comment)
Yes but it seems, as seen in your evidence that franco suffered parkinson's disease only during the 1960s-1970s. Besides that when I investigated other stuff, it suggests that franco only had very subtle signs of parkinson's disease since 1961 to the mid 1960s (the 1961 hunting trip was the start of it). He also only truly got privately diagnosed with parkisons in 1965.
The whole stabilization plan, which opened the country to western investment, happened two years before the 1961 hunting trip. And the whole transition away from falange ideologues to liberal opus die technocrats started during the late 1950s, too (it started in 1957) Before the early signs of parkinson started appearing.
(of course it could be possible that maybe they (including franco) just hid the parkinson stuff a lot more sucesfully in the late 50s. I mean the separation between 1957 and 1961 is just four years, so there might have been signs of parkinson even back in 1957. So I will investigate that, I guess)

>>2905105>>2904909> it suggests that franco only had very subtle signs of parkinson's disease since 1961 to the mid 1960s Also to clarify, Im not saying franco only had subtle signs of parkinsons disease through his whole life. The sentence I wrote here is not conveying what I meant to say which is oof.
What I am saying here is that franco only began to show signs of parkinson starting from 1961 (it was subtle). And then after 1965 the parkinson became super blatant

For the past 10 months the deep state has been trying to foment an American Years of Lead, identical to what happened in Italy and Jamaica in the 1970s. They want to see American society be plunged into political chaos, confusion and mass destruction. This will cause the Trump Administration to destabilize and will ensure the Democrats win big in 2028, hence America stays in NATO and the Malthusian abortion lobby is able to keep reducing the human population.
DON’T FALL FOR IT. We do NOT need sporadic political violence but a PEACEFUL TRANSITION to an anti-imperialist government

The surveillance and police state advances as scheduled, without fear of socialists or anything. It's role is to manage the decay of US hegemony, as it settles, while safeguarding liberal hegemony and maximizing profit for the domestic bourgeoisie. Nobody is training brownshirts in fear of socialist revolution anymore. It's just the boilerplate, the script one has to follow so that when it's done and dusted the "good" socdems can claim to have saved the west from fascism, rather than inheriting the relative peace after the fascists are done liquidating the socialist opposition.
THat's the only transition you are gonna get. And the foreign porky will fuckin' love it and fund your oppressors until you are ripe for the looting, I mean, reduction of poverty.
There ain't no collapse coming, no political crisis, no monetary/financial one and no revolution brewing. And for those who try, you'll die in obscurity until the liberals dig you up to sell a cultural product. You made your beds and you will sleep in them.
>>2905206Reminds me of WhatIfAltHist

He's in the business of maximizing that number by convincing the algorithm, not any watcher, that his content is worth propagating..

>>2905621>bruh aren't "fandoms" in and of themselves communities? I kind of see what he's getting at if you think of fandoms in their usual meaning as people devoted to particular entertainment franchises. He's talking about fandoms around particular "political" influencers but the relationship between a person and the influencer is similar because it's like an entertainment franchise where you consume a particular aesthetic. There's something about that which is kind of like a retreat from politics even if it's an ostensibly political fandom. But I'm not sure just creating an "organization" will really do much because it's happening on a completely different scale. Maupin doesn't like how atomized people are but that probably has to do with a much larger structural forces at work. Like people don't go to churches (as much) anymore but going to church is kind of like trying to shore up a collapsing dam with a shovel. The problem is more that "churches" themselves don't function anymore like they were historically set up to do.
>buuuuuut how is that any different from what this dude is doing when you get right down to it?What struck me was how he has this self-care kind of ethic, which is another example of a kind of apolitical cope that people do. Think of Jordan Peterson for example. There's also accelerationist stuff or worshipping tech CEOs like Elon Musk as someone who is going to save humanity. Maupin meanwhile says how his group is a community that will "build each other up" and also they have a pro-growth mindset.
>>2905715>Here I see some rational people (might just be from being exposed to so much) but it feels the Baltics are just braindead.I don't know whatever crazy theories people have but they don't want to be swallowed up by Russia which is way bigger than them. They declared independence when the Russian Empire collapsed and remained independent until 1940 when the USSR issued an ultimatum, and they had no choice except to give in, then they got swallowed up again. From the Soviet perspective it was for security reasons to shore up their western flank but it was never recognized by anybody else (including China) who basically agreed to treat it like the German occupation of Alsace-Lorraine in the 1800s. Then once the USSR fell apart the Baltic countries bolted for the exits. There are also bad memories of OMON troops shooting people there while trying to hold out in the early 90s.
There has been a lot of this on the Russian frontiers. I was watching some video of man-on-the-street interviews with Azerbaijanis and when asked who their #1 enemy was, a lot of people said Russia, which surprised me. I thought they'd say Armenia.

A big part of this is the liberal left is abandoning woke and just about 90% of what they might have one day considered "progressive". Because the cold war needs them leftoids to be just that much inline with the rest of the liberals. The script is changing and woketards are being left behind. So now all these things like GG are being dragged out to pan them. And the people for whom GG shared a space with that time they wore a tail to school are squirming.
Nothing was gained by decades of liberal left, and nothing will be lost when they merge with the fascists.
Actually, lots of freedoms and benefits will be lost. But you deserve it for taking those as a bribe during 50 years of ascendant hegemonic imperialism. >>2905972I've been saying this for years.

>>2905955the falklands belong to argentina btw
>>2906064Honestly I've realised the Falklands should be an independent country. There is no reason it can't be one other than that the people living there probably wouldn't want it (though they can be brainwashed to accept it)
>>2906064Then argentina needs to have English as an official language
>>2906066>the self proclaimed nationalist wants more nation states, not lessshocker. you are a fascist disguised as something progressive
>>2906071Every nation needs right of self determination before you can have a functioning one world government
>>2906069>cyprus needs to have english as an official language before we stop imperializing themkys
>>2906073indeed, but only nations have that right and the falklands are not a nation and have never been a nation. a nation would be invented for them out of thin air. its extra retarded since argentina has a stronger claim on the islands than anyone else
>>2906076But there’s no argentine or spanish speaking population on the island
>>2906077so? there's no Comanche or Navajo speaking populations in the territories the native americans should be given, like most of Utah. language isn't a barrier for anything. Do you think France should hold on to French Guiana because French is spoken and not Spanish?
>>2906076If you think argentina has an actual claim on the islands you have to be actually retarded imo, or at least not thinking objectively. The people living there were never argentinian.
>>2906081why are you such a slut for the british empire?
>>2906081under the legal principle Uti Possidetis Juris the entire colonial territory transferred from spain to argentina after independence, including the islands. britian will never bring this case to the UN courts because they know they'd lose like in the case of Chagos
>bourgeois legalism!!!lenin and castro were lawyers
>>2906082I have done more to damage the British empire in the last year than you will ever do anything in your entire life.
>>2906083I don't care about the law, what I care about is if it is colonialism. Chagos was colonialism because people got occupied then kicked out. People lived there. NOBODY lived on the Falkland islands except a fucking military base, there was no native population, there was no Argentinian population who lived there, nobody experienced colonial relations there. So why does everyone act like it is a colony when it isn't if we are speaking with the Marxist usage of the word? The Mapuche have a trillion times more claim to every part of Argentina than Argentina does to the Falklands. The actual colonialism went on in Patagonia (including British colonialism, like the Welsh colony which was ran by the British imperial bourgeois).
>>2906086>I don't care about the law, Typical engloid behavior, thinks they're above the law and doesn't apply to them. Justify your imperialism in South America all you want, we will kick you off our continent, same with the French and dutch.

>>2906088Incoherent whining.

why is the welsh nationalist sucking off the british empire? strange case of stockholm syndrome. you would think theyd be happy with the UK getting weaker in any regard.. nope! uncle john bulls honor must be defended at all costs
>>2906092Because I have autism and I can't just accept something which I think is wrong just because it is consensus, unless it has been concluded through Party democracy since then it would be damaging the organisation.
Like it's worthless to say something is wrong just because it is, without actually explaining why it is wrong.
Though I would like to retract my previous statement saying that only retarded or confused people could take that stance. I think if someone is a strong anti-imperialist in South America it would be normal to support Argentina taking the Falklands. But that doesn't make that position technically correct.
>>2906093im just confused why your personal view of the falklands not being colonial takes precedent over your desire for the UK to be weakened, it would be like a Alaskan nationalist defending americas right to all the shitty little islands they have in the pacific because they were uninhabited beforehand. like yes, thats not wrong, but shouldn't the priority here be stripping away the empires ability to project power across the planet? wouldn't the falklands be used as a landing strip to suppress uprisings in south america? makes no sense

>>2906132First is cringe but actually seem to have fun with their hobbies like Nintendo or whatever
Right are just miserable
>>2906132A lot of white incels think they’re temporarily embarrassed philosophers for making themselves miserable
>>2906107I guess its is / aught. The people living on the falklands do have a right to their land same as anyone else, and I think trying to argue against this undermines national liberation. It seems horribly cruel to say that these people shouldn't live there when they have every right to. But what is "right" is different to what actually needs to be done. Though right now I would hardly say Argentina is an anti-imperialist force (it is a settler colony of the USA), if it does become one I would be completely on the side of it against the Falklands because that would benefit socialism. In revolution "right" and "wrong" don't have any meaning, only things that benefit the revolution and things that don't. So in that case I think the Falklands are Los Malvinas. I just wish people wouldn't claim it is morally right or good in any way for Argentina to take them, because that building a moral case for genocide against a country deemed evil. We will probably have to commit genocide, but we should never act like that is a morally good or justified thing, or we will continuing doing it when it is no longer necessary.
>>2906159>Though right now I would hardly say Argentina is an anti-imperialist force (it is a settler colony of the USA), why does a nation have to actively be anti-imperialist for you to support their de-colonization? Do you refuse irish re-unification because ireland is a settler colony of the UK? Both argentina and ireland are oppressed nations in the global hierarchy of capitalistic imperialism with vast quantaties of labor value extracted by the british and americans, have you considered the colonial vestiges in south america like malvinas are hampering the cause of anti-imperialism in south america itself?
>So in that case I think the Falklands are Los Malvinasas a marxist you should realize small nations have no such autonomy or sovereignty, an 'independent' malvinas would be nominally yankee territory forced to sign unequal military treaties. the only de-colonial option is reunification with argentina
>>2906164>have you considered the colonial vestiges in south america like malvinas are hampering the cause of anti-imperialism in south america itself?I haven't seen someone convincingly explain how. Like there are a few thousand sheep farmers there, and they're 300 miles away from Argentina. In what sense are they extracting any labor or wealth from South Americans? Most of the population of Argentina lives in Buenos Aires which is more than 1,000 miles away to the north. Arguably the farmers on the Falkland Islands were the ones being exploited by absentee landlords until they did land reform after the Falklands War.
Usually the argument that Argentina should take over is based on geographical claims, and also the idea that it's a British colony. It is. But usually anti-colonial movement of the left are about struggles of oppressed "people" against their oppressors. The actual population of the islands are not even a Spanish speaking group of people struggling against British imperialism.
>>2906164>why does a nation have to actively be anti-imperialist for you to support their de-colonizationYeah you are right that was a mistake form me
>>2906190my reasoning is this: because the stakes are so high politically, the only way to handle the Malvinas is through a negotiated settlement at the UN, and its the UK thats blocking argentinian attempts to get a ruling, largely because the british know the court has a good chance of ruling against them. So until the UK grows a pair, the argentinians are infected with nationalistic brainworms over the Malvinas so long as the case is still active, nationalistic resentment that gives leverage towards right wing fascism in south america that can seize and use Malvinas as a fascistic symbol and sucks the air out of the room of non-nationalistic movements. (this isn't a joke, the argentinians take this case seriously, in buenos aires there are malvinas slogans and imagery everywhere) so the case needs to be settled asap for anti-imperialism to better flourish and that involves changing the status quo the UK fights to protect
>In my view, this will simply not happen. Ever. I might well eventually be proven wrong, of course, but it seems to me that the Falklands dispute is, as a political matter, almost singularly unsuitable for judicial resolution. Here’s why:https://www.ejiltalk.org/why-the-falklands-dispute-will-probably-never-go-to-court/ >>2906197If you care about the ownership of the Falklands at all, you are THE fascist right wing nationalist.

>>2906081>If you think argentina has an actual claim on the islands you have to be actually retarded imo, or at least not thinking objectively. The people living there were never argentinian.Bait aside, I think the Malvines should got to Argentinian jurisdiction for no better reason than it prejudices NATO strategically.
"Claims" are the polite terms among friends who won't bring guns into the matter. If I was the head of a Spaniard communist government, for example, step one after leaving NATO and encircling all their assets would be to take Gibraltar and close it to NATO and either have the entire Br*tish population expropriated and deported or driven into the sea, their choice.
>>2906197I think the problem is that the Argentinians are just kind of retarded.
Let's recall that that the military government in the 1980s fell because they lost the war and wrecked their army in the process while strengthening British control over the islands at the same time because of the boost to the military garrison there and land reform which meant more profits from the wool industry were now reinvested in the islands than being taken out by absentee landlords. That's why Argentinian right-wing nationalists are stupid.
But you can make the argument in this inter-left zone that it'd be easier for the Argentinian left if they could put this issue to bed if Argentina got the islands back, but again, the reason Argentina doesn't have them is because they fucked up. Idk man, are the Falkland Islanders supposed to just go with this so the Argentinian left has an easier time? Doesn't seem realistic. It's not their problem. Honestly Argentina's best shot if they weren't broke-ass chumps would be to just buy the place outright through some corrupt bourgeois business deal (FUCK THE FARMERS) to turn the place into some offshore Bitcoin mining / money laundering hub. It'll be the UAE of the South Atlantic.
>>2906242>I think the problem is that the Argentinians are just kind of retarded. yes true. exceedingly so. lets be realistic however, the british military of today is not what it used to be 40 years ago. americas level of support for argentina and chinas satellite imagery will make holding the islands much more of a challenge.
>Idk man, are the Falkland Islanders supposed to just go with this so the Argentinian left has an easier time?3500 people live there. the answer is obviously yes lmao. my high school in texas had more students than that. they don't need to be ethnically cleansed or anything, they would simply be dual argentinian british nationals
>>2906083>the entire colonial territory transferred from spain to argentina after independenceBritain had a colonial presence there before Argentine independence, but I'd consider that far less important than the desires of the actual population. A population that (unlike the Argentines) didn't exterminate the indigenous inhabitants to settle it.
>>2906238>I think the Malvines should got to Argentinian jurisdiction for no better reason than it prejudices NATO strategicallyArgentina is a firmly pro-Western country so that's a moot point. From the perspective of imperialism British or Argentine sovereignty makes little difference. If Argentina established a socialist or at least national bourgeois government I would support their position, but until then its basically just shit vs piss.

you're both retarded <3
>>2906254reductive take. i expect better from you sabo
>>2906256If you're going to take sides in a conflict like this as a communist then you need an actual reason for why one outcome is better than the other. Losing the islands to Argentina won't harm Western imperialism if Argentina is an agent and ally of Western imperialism.
>>2906254No Sabo communism is when you uncritically cheerlead the revaunchist ambitions of whatever side is non-white coded, and the less white coded they are the more revaunchistier they can be and the more you have to support them as a communist
>>2906248>lets be realistic however, the british military of today is not what it used to be 40 years ago.That's true but Argentina's military is in even worse shape. Like they practically have no operational navy at all beyond a few corvettes, and for all practices purposes had no air force until they started acquiring a couple of F-16s from Denmark in the past year or so because their planes couldn't take off. I have to look at the details but their ships were keeling over in port, and one of their submarines imploded at sea and killed everyone on board and now none of them are operational.
After looking up the wealth and class character of Falklands residents I am much less sympathetic to them. As long as Argentina allows them to stay and doesn't wipe them out and allows them to preserve culture, I think Argentina taking over the islands would only be a good thing tbh. I still think the claims are bullshit and an independent islands would be better, but I've decided Argentina right now owning them is probably better than an imperialist Britain (England) owning them.
>>2906257So with ireland morocco and spain being agents of imperialism themselves, you support none of their de-colonialization movements?
>>2906263At this point I'd say that those conflicts are non-issues for communists yes. Ireland may be different because the Irish Republic is at least a neutral country with no history of acting as a proxy for US imperialism, and from what I understand Irish Catholics are still very much an underclass in Northern Ireland. However as you pointed our Ireland is still very well integrated with European imperialism more generally, so I don't think the issue of Northern Ireland is very pressing. I don't give two shits about the Spanish enclaves in Morrocco. When I asked about them here nobody could give me any evidence of there actually being a colonial social relationship between Spain and the inhabitants of Ceuta and Melilla.
so what you're saying is that genocide and colonialism is historically progressive. kill all brownoids. that's what leftism marxism is

>>2906266>Ireland may be different because the Irish Republic is at least a neutral country with no history of acting as a proxy for US imperialismnot neutral. there's no such thing as neutrality. switzerland was always attached to the nazi hip. ireland exists today as a proxy for british imperialism, as evidenced by the fact that the british control their airspace and routinely intercept Russian jets. European imperialism has not simply vanished. crazy how de-colonization is taking a back seat in the western left
>>2906273trook. we stand with the marxist lenninist united kingdom monarchy of wales and scotland and also england. may they commit 2 genocides in argentina because that advances históry
>>2906280own those fraud fuckerz. do they not understand???? marx would have fucked argentina
>>2906126Those are better than your average leftist. Your average leftist these days is fat with dyed hair. They probably have an obscure gender and ride a mobility scooter.
>>2906287what? you are making no sense. anyway. UK must annex argentinia
>>2906275So then the correct conclusion to draw is that Northern Ireland is a non-issue (apart from maybe somewhat improving the lot of Catholics). If the Irish and British governments are comparably pro-imperialist then there is no reason to pick a side.
>>2906275>decolonization just means breaking down US puppets in more manageable pieces (still US puppets)wow so cool
I’m ESL and thought that in the song “Don’t Tread on Me” by Metallica, James Heftield was singing “Soviet, tread no more!” but it’s “so be it” LMAO
>>2906283Nah the they/thems have canes (fake), mobility scooter is MAGA.
>>2906292>>2906266The issue of Northern Ireland is extremely pressing, it is an active settler colony. The Irish Free State is ran by British Imperialism basically, and has been turned into a financial tool by it. Northern Ireland is an extremely black and white example of a settler colony, and the Southern politicians (who are British lackeys) accept a Republika Serbska being set up there by recognising the settlers as a nation.
>>2906341Okay but that's not an issue that could be solved by reuniting Ireland under the current Irish government. If you're talking about socialist revolutions in Ireland and/or Britain then obviously that's another story.
>>2906126>I'm convinced these subs are a psyop at this point. they are lol it's not subtle
>>2906342Reuniting Ireland under the current Irish government would objectively be an amazing improvement. But Ireland can't be truly free unless there is an anti-imperialist government who throws out British meddling and forces the settlers to integrate.
>>2906344>Reuniting Ireland under the current Irish government would objectively be an amazing improvement.In what sense? If the current government is integrated with Western imperialism anyways then what would it improve?
>>2906347The most violent phase of settler colonialism and British Imperialism would be over.
Anyway the current Irish Free State wouldn't get it done because they are working for Britain as I have said. This is the position of Irish Marxist socialist-republicans and I think they probably know the most about their own conditions.
>>2906350>This is the position of Irish Marxist socialist-republicans and I think they probably know the most about their own conditions.Of course and I would expect a socialist Ireland to seek reunification, and a socialist Britain to acquiesce to this. However most of the discourse around this assumes the present governments remain in place and that's what I was commenting on.
>>2906259>biologist and also believing in creationism.No contradiction. More than half the science out there is made up bullshit. No experiments? No right to speak and I get to criticize your bullshit claims all day long. Gay meme btw. You are not a Marxism if you help the west. This is a civilizational war leftychud. Get with the times and stop being stuck in the second international.
>>2906126Outside of the ACP no leftist group fetishizes masculinity. It doesn't matter that a lot of rightoids are dysgenic. It doesn't matter that when rightoids find out an ubermensch chad has leftist politics they go into meltdown mode
>how can this specimen be a leftoid11!!??What matters is how normies perceive you. This is why ACP-fags have a universal reputation of being nazi/fash adjacent because of their vibes and PR stuff until you look at their members and they are no different from your average leftoid/rightoid chud.
>tldr, your movement is judged by the propaganda you put out >>2906407He's a good example of the emerging organic American left. Not yet Marxist or class conscious but imo steadily evolving. The inevitable failure of the DSA experiment will likely be a major milestone in its development.
>>2906407Why does he look like he time travelled from the late 1970s?
>>2906138This is why I like Nietzsche, he could see the pessimism of authors like Schopenhauer was a dead end and argued man should embrace life instead. Camus reached a similar conclusion.
>>2906509Dengoid praxis is verry successfur.
Most successfur praxis in rong time.
>>2906524It's trot or something but China is dengist doesn't matter shit vs poo check bannedthought.net

<Is a sense of national pride alien to us, Great-Russian class-conscious proletarians? Certainly not! We love our language and our country, and we are doing our very utmost to raise her toiling masses (i.e., nine-tenths of her population) to the level of a democratic and socialist consciousness. To us it is most painful to see and feel the outrages, the oppression and the humiliation our fair country suffers at the hands of the tsar's butchers, the nobles and the capitalists. We take pride in the resistance to these outrages put up from our midst, from the Great Russians; in that midst having produced Radishchev,[3] the Decembrists[4] and the revolutionary commoners of the seventies[5]; in the Great-Russian working class having created, in 1905, a mighty revolutionary party of the masses; and in the Great-Russian peasantry having begun to turn towards democracy and set about overthrowing the clergy and the landed proprietors.
<We remember that Chernyshevsky, the Great-Russian democrat, who dedicated his life to the cause of revolution, said half a century ago: "A wretched nation, a nation of slaves, from top to bottom—all slaves."[6] The overt and covert Great-Russian slaves (slaves with regard to the tsarist monarchy) do not like to recall these words. Yet, in our opinion, these were words of genuine love for our country, a love distressed by the absence of a revolutionary spirit in the masses of the Great-Russian people. There was none of that spirit at the time. There is little of it now, but it already exists. We are full of national pride because the Great-Russian nation, too, has created a revolutionary class, because it, too, has proved capable of providing mankind with great models of the struggle for freedom and socialism, and not only with great pogroms, rows of gallows, dungeons, great famines and great servility to priests, tsars, landowners and capitalists.
<We are full of a sense of national pride, and for that very reason we particularly hate our slavish past (when the landed nobility led the peasants into war to stifle the freedom of Hungary, Poland, Persia and China), and our slavish present, when these selfsame landed proprietors, aided by the capitalists, are loading us into a war in order to throttle Poland and the Ukraine, crush the democratic movement in Persia and China, and strengthen the gang of Romanovs, Bobrinskys and Purishkeviches, who are a disgrace to our Great-Russian national dignity. Nobody is to be blamed for being born a slave; but a slave who not only eschews a striving for freedom but justifies and eulogises his slavery (e.g., calls the throttling of Poland and the Ukraine, etc., a "defence of the fatherland" of the Great Russians)—such a slave is a lickspittle and a boor, who arouses a legitimate feeling of indignation, contempt, and loathing. >>2906420Yea, i think of it as the normie-left. Arrived at leftist positions through just life and not theory, which in the US until recently seemed to basically not exist.

>Israeli investors in crosshairs of Argentina’s Milei over Falklands oil project
>Argentine President Javier Milei’s push for sanctions on oil companies drilling offshore in the British-controlled Falkland Islands has put Israeli investors at the center of a sovereignty dispute over which Britain and Argentina went to war in 1982.
>Milei, a proclaimed ally of Israel, on Thursday singled out the Sea Lion offshore oil project as he announced measures targeting companies involved in Falklands oil and gas activities, with penalties potentially extending to shareholders, directors and suppliers.
>The project’s two owners have strong Israeli ties. Sea Lion is operated by Tel Aviv-listed Navitas Petroleum, which holds a 65% stake.
>Gideon Tadmor, a prominent figure in Israel’s energy sector and also the company’s chair, holds about 9% of shares in the company, according to LSEG data.
>The remaining 35% of Sea Lion is owned by London-listed Rockhopper Exploration with Israel-based Noked Capital, Brosh Funds and ION Fund Management among its top five investors, owning between 4.6% and 9.2% each.
>Both companies had already been disqualified from operating in Argentina for 20 years over taking up the licences, which Buenos Aires says are illegal, according to a December 2025 statement on the website of the Argentine embassy in Britain.just give argentina the islands already ffs
