Facebook's Threads is so depressing by Jason O. Gilbert
https://jogblog.substack.com/p/facebooks-threads-is-so-depressingWhat's up with contemporary Western leftist suffering from some weird sentimental nostalgia when it comes to outdated forms of media? Early communists were fascinated by mass media technology for propaganda purposes. Lenin was an actual radiohead. Why do they scoff at things like social media and streaming being used for political ends?
>>2884749It's basically more ultraloid BS.
If you want to help the 'masses'… you should not fear difficulties… but must absolutely work wherever the masses are to be found.
>>2884615>we must hide our power levelWasn't the idea that white nationalists hid their "power level" because otherwise they would be outed at complete racist sociopaths and lose their jobs (rightfully)? How is this applicable to socialism? Acting like a liberal, agreeing with liberals, and voting for liberals in a bourgeous party, isn't hiding a "power level". Its just being a lib. It also makes no sense and reeks of personal aspirations within bourgeous politics. I mean, when is the mask gonna come off? A few years? A decade? Two decades? Two decades of voting for liberal zionists, war criminal vet candidates, genocide funding bills, military rearment. Only to at the end (when you get some level of meager power), fling the mask off and say "ah ha! I was a socialist, no not just a socialist, a true communist all along!". That is not gonna happen.
Its like being in the closet and instead of accepting your sexuallity and coming out, you convince yourself that in order to have people accept you for being gay you need to always ally with anti-gay people, be anti-gay but not too anti-gay, convinse other gay people to hide thier sexuality, and just hide being gay all together until that "right" moment when you befriend enough gay hating people that you will just declare that you are gay! Nah, shit that never happens and if it did, it did not end good.
>>2884752>>2884760He did say it worked before so it might work again.
>>2884749uygha reading and writing is essential for learning and transmitting ideas. it's not an "outdated form of media" it's the backbone of human knowledge. if you're a digital illiterate or don't read books that's fine, nobody is going to take away your socialist card, but you should be aware it's a major disadvantage and hinders your understanding of crucial marxist concepts
>>2884735What did hasan do now?
>>2884746i remember when curtis arvin/moldbug did something similar
>>2884792what a fucking moron, moved to the only continent on the planet more fascist than america
>>2884615>my main goal is to conceal my power level<The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but theirchains. They have a world to win.
<Working Men of All Countries, Unite! Alright! I've been away for months and I'm back here just to ask for some Perez Hilton clips from the incident last night. If that's not Internet Spectacle, I don't know what it is!
>>2884792What's with these American streamers like Styxhexenhammer and Agent Kochinski shacking up with bipolar Dutch women?
>>2884792Fulfilling the prophecy of pic related it seems
>>2884813>the communist manifestoI swear people really do not know what manifesto means. In the new society all streamers should be forced to prove they can read above a 4th grade level.
>>2884824Desperate need for pussy
>>2880595No boobs, so much that her bra looks like a pathetic excuse. Her only redeeming quality is being tall and athletic, but her face isn't that great either.
Bear in mind that, while I definitely enjoy big, voluptuous, perky milkers, I don't necessarily dislike women not much endowed in that department. It's just that on the whole isn't really that better than any average twenty-something sportswoman.
>>2880645I don't know and I don't care if that lady hides a big surprise down there. A real gentleman doesn't really argue about such small - or big - things.
>>2884771ultraloid nonsense, books are reactionary and donating to hasan is progressive
>>2880100Absolutely, give it a go. If anything, for the Brazilian accent. Do that in English or in Portuguese or both. I would listen to all those ão sounds all day. It's verbal Samba and Bossa Nova and it's fantastic.
Also, if you make it about Linux, try to make it look like something most people could use and don't get into crazy stuff like install Arch, break it every week and get used to that.
>>2884842I'm going to regret watching this aren't i? TLDR? What happened?
>>2884846 there is nothing really graphic.
>>2884842Compared to average Mexican gore is quite lame.
I found a couple of short clips of PH and it's almost like a kind of disturbing David Lynch/Cronenberg kind of stuff.
>>2884846First minute and twenty five seconds: three guys just fooling around somewhere in Mexico. Last seconds: two hitmen approach them with a bike a blow out the brain of the guy with the beard and the white hat. Then there's a shot of the crime scene with a puddle of blood on the ground.
>>2884846Not sure, just a bunch of delivery guys streaming, by the end a motorcycle shows up and the rider shots one guy in the head.
>>2884846Let's put it like that: it's less graphic than the CharlieKirking in Orem, Utah last year. I wouldn't recommend it anyway, tho.
>>2884842damn what did he do
also bruh he didnt even cover his face
>>2884870the least amount of people possible lol

>>2884870>what the fuck the target audience for this shit isuyghas who unironically thought Iran's AI slop propaganda videos looked cool.
>>2884870Hezbollah larp. It's made to appeal to people on twitter not people in real life.
>>2884870I think I just caught schizophrenia from watching that
>>2884870>>2884872If you don't think your idiosyncratic, baroque ideology actually has potential, you can double down with the weird stuff and alienate people in the hopes that those who stick with it will remain more committed.
>>2884532This is a troll, none of this is real, haven’t been for a while, prob not a dedicated psyop, feels too sloopy and sad, not enough effort
>>2884810Because they lowkey always "kissed the ring" and the pedophile Hollywood bourgeoisie noticed and let them in.
They have always been pro-establishment politics underneath a lot of surface noise. From I remember even the South Park guys have a more critical analysis of society than these wastes.
>>2884792As a Evropean I would like to formally deny entry to this malicious foreign actor into our precious community
>>2884924This is true though

Which country? (Not giving him another view).
If it's where I was born I will start a harassment campaign ASAP.
>>2884845I was doing an imagesearch to try and find that picture of Agent Kochinski and his ogress GF nude, and while I didn't find that, Kiwifarms was in the search results.

The leftypol server goes down all the time, why do you guys think this is final?"

>>2884934Right on bro we need to keep this filthy scum off our streets. He's going to the Netherlands in a month it seems, Possibly a warning should be posted on indymedia.nl
>>2884337Didn't elon publicly say that if he was presented with a plan to end world hunger that he'd do it, was thus presented, and just pretended neither ever happened
>>2884870It's for low autism score contrarians who love AI slop, want a cult to fall for, and get erect over any kind of socially reactionary ideology.
The ACP only larps as being communist because they think le epic Stalin hated the gays.

>>2884938it wasn't that the server was down, it's that they were already debanked and kicked off every commercial webhost and got kicked off cloudflare and russian cp and credit card fraud cloudflare in a couple of days.
this has permanently degraded their quality of service and revenue, the next time they piss the internet off they're going down harder.
the fact that the bitch made pedo that runs the place has no other means to support himself is not a flex in the slightest.

>>2885276I dunno man, I think he's right when saying China' s cultural exports suck for the most part.
>>2885280How many more high school superhero iseakis does the world really need?
>>2885281Weebs mostly limit themselves to Akihabara, Tokyo. The conventional drunk tourist is more of a hassle.
>>2885285>How many more high school superhero iseakis does the world really need?Lel as if China didn't put out the same shit but of even worse quality and with gacha gambling characteristics
>>2885280Why should they bother "exporting" their culture?
Go watch chinese movies and animation with subtitles there's shitloads of stuff
>>2885287I'm not really defending China. But pretending anime manga is some high point is laughable. It's most interesting and creative impulses are gone. Only thing left are otaku obsessives being squeezed by corporate hacks.
>>2885276>>2885285China's main media export are webnovels, webcomics and wuxia tv shows. All of which are actually shit and I mean that every single one of these is shit. Obviously there are plenty of great Chinese books and films but it isn't really exporting those.
>>2885296Just like the entire rest of the world had to learn english just to play video games, westies will have to learn chinese to partake in the chinese century
>>2885296>China's main English-translated media exports are webnovels, webcomics and wuxia tv showsftfy
china puts out slop for people that they know are slop enjoyers
learn chinese to access trve chinese culture
>>2885184Once again the right constantly uses AI slop to create their realities that don't actually exist.
>>2885357>manga is changing:A lot of manga now relies on light novels since writers are too lazy to come up with anything themselves.
>>2885280They dont need cultural exports. They arent a US colony like Japan and Korea.
Also uygha you never ate chinese food?
Its in every city in America, thats a cultural export.
Also half the shit the Japs have is just ripped off from China.
>>2885384>nowbrother! Manga has been in large part adapting LNs for well over 20 years at least.

>>2885426This is a cope. Like the USSR wasn't an AmeriKKKan colony and yet they made several groundbreaking works of art in the fields of film, literature, animation and even video games.
China legit just seems to copy whatever's popular in Japan or the US.
>>2885589Niagara come to me when yoy invent soy sauce
The owner of the soyjak website banned everyone from the sharty IRC after the imageboard, their wiki and their booru have been down for more than two days and people tried flooding it to find out what is going on. Some are speculating he may have just shut down everything because he became sick of the website it and the users.
>>2885637That shii was like 2000 years ago bro
>>2885655It's too late. Online culture has been permanently made worse due to the existence of soyjaks .
>>2885487That is about people who are permanently committed. Different states have laws for how fast you get your gun rights back. Although apparently in Florida you lose them indefinitely until you petition to have them restores. Some states you don't lose your gun rights for an involuntary hold, some states like California it is only a five year ban. Interesting that Florida is stricter. Fun fact: Loony Loomer's brother is one of those permanently committed to an institution. Some other looners in her family as well, the whole story is fucking crazy. I remember apparently she grew up with a TV in each room playing Fox News 24/7 lol, her father sounds like quite a Looner too.
>>2885487>using google ai for infomation.Remember the "old" days of citing stuff???
Yeah. It’s actually what we did. Reading books or spending hours, minutes looking for infomation, but doing that now is considered ”time consuming” by most. Now, we use this bullshit called Genimi, GPT or whatever the fuck its called to find our info now. When you see the word ”Gemini” written on Google, you its some bullshit.
>>2885815Let's be honest man, the amount of people who actually went through extensive academic research to argue online was almost zero. Most mfs at best just copy-pasted the first result they found on Google Scholar or Pubmed that supports their claim. AI is only saving a couple clicks.

>>2885950>>2885946>>2885487Here is the twitter post where Milo tells the whole tale.
https://x.com/Nero/status/1835423223300976687
>How Loomer expects to protect Trump isn’t clear, given that she is barred from owning a firearm anywhere in the United States. In fundraising emails, Laura Loomer tells her fans that she has been targeted by the FBI for political persecution. They’ve blacklisted her from owning a gun, she says, which threatens her physical safety.
>But Loomer’s account misses out a critical detail: It’s not her politics, but rather her fragile mental state that prompted the Bureau to block her from possessing a firearm. Far from singling her out, the FBI has bent over backwards to gently explain to Loomer why she is not a fit person to own a gun.
>For instance, a letter they sent her in 2020, in response to her appeal, delicately cited the two involuntary psychiatric holds her own father, Jeff Loomer, had placed her under in the prior half-decade. I know because I’ve seen the letter they sent her in response to her appeal. I have a copy of it in my safe in Los Angeles.
>And I know because Jeff, at first reluctant to speak with me, but eventually, once again fearing for his daughter’s mental health this week, confirmed it by telephone on Friday. Jeff, evidently frightened of his daughter, spoke in hushed tones about her emotional volatility and admitted she had attempted suicide several times. “I wouldn’t allow her a gun,” he admitted.
>Laura Loomer has been diagnosed at various times and by various doctors as suffering from bipolar disorder, histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder. Loomer’s mother, whom we are not naming today, is an alcoholic, manic depressive and suffers from bipolar disorder, in common with her daughter.
>“I just remember the police were often at my home.” Loomer told The Spectator in 2019. “I grew up a very anxious, depressed kid. I had struggles with depression, so I would use politics as a kind of outlet to escape all the dysfunction of my life.”
>“I had really bad anxiety and depression, and then I started to basically deal with the depression by doing cocaine. I was never a drug user before, but I was using cocaine to kind of deal with it.
>“There were phases when I wouldn’t sleep for three days straight, and one morning I woke up and drove myself to a cliff, and it was cold and kind of snowy outside. It was February. I tried to kill myself… like, legitimately tried to kill myself.”
>Journalist Jon Levine says Loomer once texted him: “What is the point of life anymore? … I’d rather kill myself than let them take a victory lap.”
<Loomer has two brothers. One is a violent schizophrenic who is permanently incarcerated in a psychiatric facility. He will never be released. The other also suffers from depression and mood disorders, and has been in and out of institutions all his life. We are not naming either brother for the sake of their privacy.
>It was an open secret at every level of her congressional campaign in 2020 that Loomer was on a cocktail of prescription drugs, including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants.
>Throughout Loomer’s Congressional campaign, she had her phone confiscated and was instructed to delete dozens of screeds about other candidates, including this now-deleted Telegram post about Trump-endorsed Anna Paulina Luna, now a sitting Congresswoman:
<…
>Years earlier, James O’Keefe had taken Loomer out of the field during her employment at Project Veritas until she got back on her medication. O'Keefe declined to comment for this story, possibly because, according to two people who worked with Loomer between 2021 and 2023, Laura claims she secretly filmed the pair of them having sex, and says she threatened O’Keefe that she would release the tape if he ever talked about her publicly.
>In order for Loomer to run for office, her general consultant required that she regularly see a psychiatrist, and that she stay on every medication prescribed to her. She didn’t. Eight days out from the election in 2020, Loomer–after being confronted about sexually assaulting a young male campaign volunteer–called advisor Roger Stone, and told him she had driven past the retailer Lowe’s several times, mulling over the purchase of rope with which to hang herself.
>The news surprised no one. Nor did the oblivious ingratitude of shopping at Lowe’s when the founder of Home Depot was a major donor to her campaign. Even when contemplating suicide, Loomer couldn’t stay loyal to the people who were loyal to her.
>After losing the election, Loomer was confined to the guest bedroom of a well-known Palm Beach County political operative on suicide watch. “I have nothing to live for,” Loomer would repeat on an endless cycle, wandering listless through the four-bedroom gated community mansion.
>“I was supposed to be the youngest ever Member of Congress,” she complained despairingly. “Now I have nothing. I have nothing. My life is ruined. I have no future.” >>2885950>>2885956Here we go, a non Milo-based source.
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Laura-Loomer
>Loomer was born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1993 to a Jewish family. Her parents divorced when she was 11 years old. Shortly afterward, one of her two younger brothers was involved in an incident in which he violently attacked their mother. Following the occurrence, the brother was placed in a government-run residential care facility. Loomer and her siblings eventually went to live with their father, a rheumatologist, after a court granted him custody. He sent Loomer and her other brother to the Orme School, a racially diverse boarding school an hour north of Phoenix, while he kept their violent brother under watch.Hmm, maybe he got out.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/us/politics/laura-loomer-trump.html>She grew up in Tucson, Ariz., in a tumultuous household. When she was 11, her parents divorced. Five months later, one of her two younger brothers, who had already been hospitalized multiple times “due to uncontrollable behavior problems,” according to medical records, attacked her mother and was placed in a government group home. A decade after that, the same brother tried to choke his father to death and was charged with aggravated domestic assault, although he eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser crime.So he did get out, at some point apparently if he choked the dad out a decade later.
>>2885956>>2885963>Loomer has two brothers. One is a violent schizophrenic who is permanently incarcerated in a psychiatric facility. He will never be released. The other also suffers from depression and mood disorders, and has been in and out of institutions all his life. We are not naming either brother for the sake of their privacy.Maybe the one that keeps attacking the parents is the in and out guy, I can't find any other sources for the permanent one.
>>2885956God please take her Xitter away
>>2885956where is part 2? expose on her non-jewish heritege ?
>>2885956It sounds like papa loomer should've kept it in his pants. Maybe the sex with his crazy wife was mind blowing.
>>2885655Soyjaks were always an ugly faggot looking meme and at its peak had only a 50:50 good to bad meme ratio and when soyjak party happened it basically blew it up and left it in pieces by turning it into an extremely unfunny contrived piece of shit meme that gets the same 5 macros spammed again and again by the stupidest uyghurs on Twitter (a place of already Dogshit culture that spilled back into the Sharty after it retardedly made the soyjak mainstream by raiding everything like they were trying to be on some edgesphere shit)

>>2885803His PhD dissertation is embarrassingly dog shit and he had to shop around universities across Europe because all the academic advisors he wanted to work with (for example, Habermas and Luhmann) wanted nothing to do ("fobbed him off") the halfwit as it was obvious to most people who met him that he embodied what Marx called, "an intellectual skunk."

>>2885803i didnt know the palantir HQ was in miami but it makes sense.
>>2886648Seems fairly accurate. Their initial growth was quite a lot, though it's probably slowed down significantly as time went on
>>2886640“But Karp has this other story where he wrote, I think if one were being cynical one might say he was just trying to study with the most famous German but if one were being a little bit more charitable, you could say he also had a deep enough investment in Frankfurt School social theory to move to Germany and get a PhD in it.
Well, how did you go from that to where he is now?
I think at the time he had inherited some money from a grandparent maybe and was trying to do some investing or pitching in Europe like while he was doing the PhD. But at the end of the PhD, having read the PhD, I will say he made the quite reasonable decision to not try to become an academic professionally and then joined up with Thiel and became the CEO of Palantir pretty early. I would have to check the exact timeline, but he's not there at the founding, but he becomes the CEO pretty early, and he's Thiel's friend, and I think that's the main reason.”
“But now he's like he wants to kill communists.
Yeah.
This political transformation is curious.
I started writing about or like thinking about these figures in the mid 2010s, late 2010s in San Francisco, and one thing that fascinated me was that I'd just hear around because people were talking about and starting to organize against Palantir. I would just hear people talk about this fact that this eccentric CEO referred to himself as a cultural Marxist. I mean, it's very interesting, almost nobody self describes as a cultural Marxist historically, but he does and talks about how he's a neo-Marxist and talks a lot about his interest in social theory.”
“So that was intriguing to me and was actually at this moment when Teal was becoming the nationally famous figure of the Silicon Valley right after appearing at the RNC. I sort of had this head scratching moment of saying, huh, how is it that the CEO of Palantir says he's a cultural Marxist? And that was what led me to investigate his work.
I will say, once again, a crude materialist answer and I say crude with love, and then also a more intellectual answer. The more intellectual answer is that from the beginning, in ways that I can explain it as much length as you want, I'd say he has a sort of idiosyncratic reading of the Frankfurt School where really he's interested in stripping critical theory and particularly Adorno's theory of all of its normative commitments and just saying, what does this teach us systematically? And again, at risk of being glib, I would say if you take the Frankfurt School and take away their normative commitments to emancipation, what you have is a guide on how to do a fascism.”
“If you think about a text like the authoritarian personality and you say, I'm going to study this, but I don't have a commitment to emancipation. It's like, well, what you have is a playbook for Cambridge Analytica. It's like, how do you use people's, not that I think Cambridge Analytica is fascist.
Lots of people fight about that kind of thing. But so anyway, I think from the beginning, he has a very idiosyncratic, one might say misguided relationship to the tradition, where he is interested in just saying, what can we learn about how aggression or a certain kind of sadistic tendency in human beings shape social order? How do we describe that, quote unquote, systematically or without the desire to fight it?
Carp exudes that sort of thing.”

Campists (authoritarian leftists/Third Worldists) explained for you
The reason why this is occurring is an interplay of various things, ranging from seeing other international populations (e.g., Iranians, Palestinians, etc.) as being the recipients of American/Western hegemony, to a justified historical skepticism toward American foreign policy that eventually becomes so excessive that it turns into an almost reflexive opposition to anything associated with the United States or the West.
Many of these people are of American or Western origin, some of whom are LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, racial or ethnic minorities, or otherwise belong to groups that have historically experienced discrimination within Western societies. Because of their own experiences with marginalization, they may understandably become deeply distrustful of the political institutions, cultural norms, or foreign-policy narratives produced by their own countries. They then sometimes identify very strongly with populations abroad whom they perceive as similarly oppressed by American or Western power.
Unfortunately, rather than evaluating every government, political movement, or conflict according to the same standards, they begin dividing the world into an imperialist Western camp and an anti-imperialist camp. Once that framework becomes internally crystallized enough, almost anyone opposing the United States can be interpreted as part of a broader struggle against imperialism, even when those actors themselves are authoritarian, imperialistic, socially reactionary, or actively repressing the very kinds of people these Western leftists claim to support.
This obviously creates some pretty strange contradictions, as someone can correctly recognize the discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people, women, ethnic minorities, or political dissidents in the United States and then suddenly become extremely reluctant to criticize a government that imprisons dissidents, suppresses independent media, persecutes minorities, or violently represses protesters simply because that government is hostile toward Washington, Israel, etc. In some cases, they will acknowledge those abuses but treat them as comparatively unimportant because American imperialism is viewed as the primary contradiction from which nearly every other political problem supposedly derives.
I think this is also why you sometimes see the political agency of people living in these countries being really sadly ignored. An Iranian protesting against the Islamic Republic will be dismissed as a Western-backed regime-change supporter; a Taiwanese person who does not want to be governed by the PRC becomes a victim of American propaganda; or a Ukrainian who supports closer relations with Europe becomes a NATO proxy. Instead of treating these people as individuals with their own political beliefs, historical experiences, and legitimate grievances, everything they do gets interpreted primarily through their relationship with the United States and Israel.
Personally, I find this type of American/European youth to be too emotional, as many of them don't understand that despite all of them experiencing similar oppression by the imperial core, they don't see that cultural, philosophical, religious, and historical differences can produce radically different values, political goals, and understandings of liberation. Two groups can both experience oppression without therefore sharing the same worldview. A queer American leftist, an Iranian Islamist, a Palestinian secular nationalist, a Kurdish socialist, and a conservative religious Arab may all have legitimate grievances against American or Western foreign policy while simultaneously disagreeing with one another on almost every major question concerning religion, sexuality, gender, nationalism, democracy, or the organization of society.
I think some Western leftists project their own political values onto these populations because they assume that being oppressed naturally makes someone progressive. It does not. An oppressed person can be socialist, liberal, conservative, religious fundamentalist, nationalist, monarchist, feminist, homophobic, secular, authoritarian, democratic, or practically anything else. Oppression tells you something about the power relationship that person exists within; it does not automatically tell you what that person believes.
This is why solidarity, in my opinion, should not require romanticization. I can personally believe that Palestinians deserve freedom from occupation without pretending that every Palestinian political organization shares my values. I can also oppose American intervention against Iran while also supporting Iranians who oppose the Islamic Republic. Those positions only appear contradictory if you have already reduced international politics into two moral camps where one side must always be the oppressor and the other must always be virtuous.
Also, I feel like another piece of it is that they're sort of ashamed of being Western and they sort of romanticize the Orient because it just seems so exotic and different. I am a Filipino immigrant with a father who comes from the old leftist tradition, and my interactions with Western leftists in the past have sometimes given me the impression that certain people are not merely expressing solidarity with non-Western societies, but are also projecting onto them a kind of imagined authenticity that they feel is missing from their own personal lives (i.e., American culture is bland and without seasoning, eating the same food gets boring after awhile). There is almost this assumption that because a society is non-Western, colonized, indigenous, or historically oppressed, it must therefore possess some deeper cultural purity or moral wisdom that the modern West has lost. However, this is quite orientalist because instead of treating people in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, or Latin America as ordinary human beings living in complicated societies, it turns them into symbols of resistance and revolutionary virtue

No, Mr Juchecultschizo. It's because you are in fact a tweaker.
>>2887884Makes sense for it to happen so much in the third world.
In the past, the third world could look forward to using foreign aid or international trade to potentially bring up their position in the world. But now?
Now it's all been replaced by a fear in the first world of all that is poor, and thus refusal to trade or in any way associate with the poorer nations.
They can't even hope to immigrate due to the right wing's new, extremely nihilistic ideology.
To go on a bit of a tangent, I genuinely believe the new right sees people not as individuals with hopes, and dreams, but as problems.
In their mind, less people means less competition for jobs, less competition for renting apartments, less noise in cities, less traffic, and less welfare money being spent. No man, no problem. It's zero sum thinking applied to humanity.
It's, interesting, to say the least, that an ideology this nihilistic has become so popular in the first world. Is this the end stage of unrequited capitalism?

BE is fighting with the Deprogram now?
He just can't stop with the dramafarming. I guess it must pay good.
Anyway, basically just rehashing several above posts here but fuck them both, the following is all true:
Both BE and the Deprogram are 3rd worldists / campists who love regimes that mass executed leftists because they adhere to uncritikkkal support for all reactionary third world regimes.
BE has explicitly stated he isn't a communist and just hates the first world (despite being an Australian firstie digital nomad gentrifying Latin America himself).
It's been clear for a long time he likes stirring drama between personalities for clicks. And he's just rude to people.
The Deprogram on the other hand are ideologically speaking everything wrong and insufferable with modern MLism.
They are unironic social democrats. They are Dengists. Market enjoyers. Reformists.
Honestly it's like they've never read any of Marx or Engels debunking of Lassalle, or Lenin or Luxemburg's debunking of Kautsky.

>>2889877What I can't believe is that it looks like there's going to be a remake of the remaster of Halo 2.

Halo 2 Anniversary already exists and it already has PS4-level graphics that have barely aged, yet it looks like they're going to go ahead and drop $200+ million dollars to remake it again.
Remakes are ruining gaming. I lose more and more interest in big budget "AAA" gaming every day and will probably won't bother upgrading my graphics card and will just stick to the low budget PC exclusives I've been playing the most anyway.
An exception to the remake rule is Silent Hill 2, because that was a bad game with a good story. >>2889870If you molest one kid, people think you're the devil.

>>2889997IP milking and refurbishing entries is cheaper than chasing novelty. But there's gonna be issues down the line as graphics don't keep advancing past realism. And new titles are gonna have to compete with whats already out there. Add to that the release volume being so great anyway you could never afford to buy it all, or play it even if you had the time.
In the future I can see many of these companies stop churning out new titles (see Valve) altogether and only milk the IP they already have. Look at how some of the new big budget IPs like Concord have flopped. Larger publishers and studios can still afford that, small ones can't. (And smaller studios have been going bankrupt or been bought up for decades now)
Some have also been experimenting with subscription based approaches for years now. (You'll own nothing and be happy) And if you can lock people in with that, why spend hundreds of millions on new titles every year?
I think people are nostalgic for that mid-late 90s to early 2010s indie craze era. But there are many technical and economic reasons why I don't see that being repeated.

>>2890043That era is when gaming saw huge year on year leaps in graphics and other areas and the market wasn't as consolidated around a few publishers and distribution platforms as it is nowadays.
The attention economy was different too in an era where you had to rely on physical mags, visiting stores in person or the occasional television ad. Aside from word of mouth (which relied on the first three).
Online distribution, social media, consolidation, availability of tools, etc. changed a lot about the industry, and profitability down the line.

>>2890267This isn't about free time and taste changing with age. The entire consumer base could consist of 14 year olds and you'd have the same issue.
20 years ago every release beyond being (relatively) novel was also a step forward technically. I don't recall anyone soyfacing back in the day over Crysis because of its captivating story. It was new and it looked amazing compared to anything before it.
Nowadays every game release has to compete with thousands and thousands of releases (see the report), both stuff which was already out there and stuff being currently released. It's a cutthroat competition for attention span, where it's difficult to differentiate yourself by being "next gen".
This maybe isn't as important for lone indie dev hobbyists or slopware producers, where either the costs are low or you aren't looking to make much profit anyway. Nor is it for the big studios with billions of dollars in revenues. But it is for the mid segment, where you need to find millions or dozens of millions $ from investors willing to wait years for a payoff, in a market saturated with AAA releases, some a decade old and still holding up.
And given the choice of doing a remake or sequel for a series that's already known (and knowing fans will buy the next installment), or risking hundreds of millions of dollars on a new IP + advertising, big studio execs are gonna pick the first over the latter.

>>2890691Ultimate confirmation that BE is just a Haz infracel tier leftoid but without the American patriotism
The fact is Zorhan represents basic social democracy and a basic level of opposition to genocide.
Normal, sane people on the left should be able to recognise the following as all being true:
>1 - Zorhan is by his policy positions a social democrat, more or less the type of politician you'd find in Scandinavia or the like, and not a socialist
>2 - His positions do not nearly go far enough to achieve real socialism in any sense, he is ultimately a Democrat and shares in many of their values, but at the very least he isn't totally controlled by Israel, which is good
>3 - That means he is still a big improvement when directly contrasted to his campaign rivals and the general calibre of US politicians
>4 - The USA is the imperial core, the beating heart of capitalism, and is as far from any real socialist movement seizing any power as its possible to be, therefore any minor victory even by social democrat reformists such as Zorhan is likely to get a lot of media coverage
>5 - It's totally okay recognise and like the small improvements made by social democrats of the DSA within US capitalism for what they are - inadequate but at least something in the right direction - and you can recognise this, you can even like Zorhan as a person, without needing to suck off the Democrats / DSA / Social Democrats
>6- Unfortunately people like The Deprogram, Hasan Piker, Kulinski, Agent Kochinski, earn their living funnelling people into the Democrats and promoting / angrily defending any and all DSA / non-AIPAC Dems who get close to winning an election, no matter how evil they are (see: Platner)
>7 - And on the other hand, 3rd worldists like BE will always look for an opportunity to make a video ripping into you if you ever say a single positive word about the little improvements social democrats make because they are drama farmers
>>2890780BE ain't communist, he's a 3rd world nationalist.
>>2890778she is hot, by USA standards, by not being obese
>>2890851She's hoy by all standards bro
>>2890799>The fact is Zorhan represents basic social democracy and a basic level of opposition to genocide.I dont want to sound like a dick but I'm not sure if I care if he "represents" anything (specially social-democracy lol but whatever), I guess it depends on how you understand that word
>but at the very least he isn't totally controlled by Israel, which is goodI'm sure plenty of other US politicians are not "totally controlled by Israel" and their collaboration with the zionist project is more willing than coercive
>That means he is still a big improvement when directly contrasted to his campaign rivals and the general calibre of US politicians I can agree he seems to be an improvement, big? lets take it easy
also this "basic level of opposition to genocide" thing sounds to me like a marketing term for "less collaboration with genocide", sorry, but as you said he is just a democrat at the end of the day
>It's totally okay recognise and like the small improvements made by social democrats of the DSA within US capitalism for what they are - inadequate but at least something in the right direction
I think its ok to recognise if he does good things for workers but Zohran has openly stated his whole thing is making the democratic party great again, I don't think thats the right direction
basically I dont think burgers should kill this guy but I don't think "normal, sane people on the left™" should support him beyond saying "yeah he is ok I guess"
>>2890691complaining about the paywall is absurd: if you care enough to listen buy a subscription. they charge fuck all and across all platforms it looks they barely make enough to pay a salary.
attacking mamdani is pointless: he gives yanks a model of a successful socialist leader. everyone knows he's going to be sidelined or ejected through some obscure (or invented) mechanism. arresting netanyahu or ending the west bank land sales isn't happening any time soon. there's more than enough legal justification, but if he actually ran the play he'd have to deal with:
>police insubordination: the jewish community gives so much money to the NYPD through various charities and associated organizations the FBI had to investigate them. wealthy zionists, NYPD leadership, and the police union all have a direct line to the reactionary press.>federal interference: you get the NYPD to jam them up, but then the FBI or some other bureau comes in to jam you up.>hostile prosecutor: you bust bibi or the scammers selling illegal conflict real estate, but when you get them in front of the state prosecutor she vacates the charges, furious at the manure you've dumped on her desk.>dem excommunication: they already didn't like you, but now they're going to use their media and legal teams to end you.my understanding is that currently protesting is allowed with an exclusion zone from synagogue entrances, and this won't change anytime soon. given the limitations that's not a bad deal: the popular movement gets to continue without being criminalized and the the radicals weren't going to respect any boundaries set by the state anyway.
it's going to hurt like a bitch when he betrays everyone, but there's better targets and there's no reason to do the zionists dirty work by attacking him.

>>2891034I mean I guess, I'm sure this is already happening though, this is just an especially sloppy case
>>2890785It's a fine line between keeping up legitimate criticism of right deviations and engaging in left wing deviations yourself. I haven't heard the comments of the Deprogram guys so I can't comment on what they said or the response to it, but people have a tendency to blow comparatively mild statements out of proportion. Somebody will say something like "The DSA represents a major step towards class consciousness and could lay the groundwork for a new socialist movement" and people respond by accusing them of loving AOC and Chuck Schumer.
>>2890972Wow. That's crazy. Amerikkka is cyberpunk dystopia.
>>2890984One of the funny things about hte video is he is clearly putting out feelers about pitching left with the rise of muslim left wing candidates. He even did a bit in vidrel about half way through deconstructing whiteness.

>>2891077>Somebody will say something like "The DSA represents a major step towards class consciousnesslol yeah nothing says major class consciousness moment as socialists celebrating a bourgeois party winning elections so it can keep rulling over the working class with as little resistence as possible :)
any "somebody" that says something as retarded as that deserves to get clowned on
>>2891229Delcy and the PSUV sold out Maduro and Venezuelan people to get in Trump's good graces. Even NastyEnchilada acknowledges this.
>>2891293>Even NastyEnchilada acknowledges this.dont care what reactionary sexpests have to say on the matter TBH. unequal treaties are unequal treaties
>>2891262You're proving my point. The re-emergence of a social democratic movement actually capable of challenging and taking seats from the neoliberal establishment does represent an improvement in class consciousness. In what way is it not? Nobody is saying its anywhere near enough, the point is that it's some progress.
>>2891316Not when they immediately walk back all the socdem promises they campaigned on once in office and are brought to heel by the neolibs, which literally every DSA endorsed candidate has done
>>2891335>Not when they immediately walk back all the socdem promises they campaigned on once in office but by that point sheepdogs have already convinced many in the "movement" that these bourgeois operators are indeed advancing the interests of the workers, so they percieve anyone that attacks them as an "ultra" and start policing those that have actual class consciuesness, you know, like sabo anon does
>>2891335The degree to which promises are walked back depends on the strength of the movement and its ability to operate under its own power. Its simply not true that DSA candidates always retreat to the neoliberals once in power, at least not fully. Zohran has already pushed ahead with rent freezes, subsidized groceries, infrastructure spending, etc. The more of these candidates get elected, the less dependent they'll be on the neoliberal wing of the party.
>>2891364I wouldn't consider it ultra behaviour to criticize socdems or the DSA. I consider it ultra behaviour to dismiss the significance and benefits of these developments altogether because they aren't a fully formed class conscious worker's movement.
>>2891462I think all tendencies of Goth subculture - from 80s British rock bands to gas mask wearing industrial raves to neofolk chansons - could agree that whatever it is, it is not a porn category.
And yeah, it's supposed to be counter-cultural. It derives from punk, but more about escapeism than social rebellion and commentary. Which feels antithetical to going on a whore dating show with Drake.
>>2891475Do you really think 90s Norwegian Black Metal was a commodity?
>>2891371Germany had a similar class consciousness in the 30s.
They wanted more treats, they elected a "socialist" and they got their treats, for a little time atleast.
>>2891478I dont know enough about it but probably.
>>2891482The old liberal lady with the boat is right
>>2891481Hitler wasn't elected bro.
>>2891482>>2891484I am not saying it didn't become commodified, I am saying it started out in an enviroment that was very hostile to the idea of it. The media back than didn't even view them as musicians first and foremost, but as militant satanists.
Art is a commodity, but it is a special type of commodity because it can only be reproduced by an artist who has a monopoly on his work. So just because they had a fanbase, and sold records, means that they commodification was generalized- this is how opposition to capital in the arts is even possible. Once that is over (with big mainstream metal festivals for example) they cease to be artists and become merely aesthetic technicians.
>>2891481>still milking the "social fascist" cow in 2026Bro even the Soviets immediately realized how retarded that shit was. Just let it go.
>>2891507Even tour brand of socialism is a commodity. Its a lifestyle created, curated, and sold to you.
>>2891529>hurr durr everything is a commodity Unless you are literally buying Che shirts, Kneecap records or Huawei Deng special edition phone cases, it's not. That doesn't mean that it can't be a commodified identity, or function as such in the free marketplace of lifestyles.
A ton of socialism nowadays is recuperated to sustain the domestication of radical ideas, but it is not literally a commodity, that's a post-Marxist error steming from thinkers such a Baudrillard and his system of objects, where what a commodity does or how it can he reproduced is secondary compared to what it signifies, leading to the simulacrum, etc. pp.

Twitch now uses streams as training for generative AI by default. Streamers can opt out.
>>2891657I think a conspiracy theory about Kirk's murder is a "functional" messaging strategy (or at least that's his aim) if you're like Jimmy Dore and want to unite the left and right in some grand left-wing schizo populist coalition, and so he will push whatever narrative he thinks will help manufacture that. But it has reached a point where it's hard to tell whether he really believes his own manufactured bullshit (he probably does).
For instance, if Kirk was indeed killed by some normie lib-leftist nerd with a trans roommate, if you're a basic normiecon Charlie Kirk flame carrier, what conclusions can you draw from that? You might conclude the left is bad (which is what you already believed) and they killed Charlie because he believed in free speech, but also the solution isn't really to do anything but continue voting for Republicans and maybe moving to a red state if you don't already, get married, have kids, and go to church. That's probably not what Dore wants them to do. Also, the fact that there
are lib-leftists out there who would kill Kirk (statistically speaking in a big enough country) is bad for Dore because that's not what he wants leftists to do either, so it's better to believe he didn't actually do it, rather it was a conspiracy.
I don't think Dore's scheme here is going to work BTW. There are a lot of problems with it. But a lot of conspiracy theories work to try and unite people. The Islamo-leftist "third worldist" enemy hydra stuff on the right is another example, because Israel support is fracturing within the MAGA coalition, so they need to come up with a common enemy which binds together Zionists, nativists, normie Republicans, and so on. How do you get free-market biz conservatives on the same side as a psychotic Zionist like Laura Loomer with the retarded /pol/ racist (who could also be antisemitic) who shouts "turd world!" at videos of a right-wing influencer harassing a Somali daycare in Minnesota. Well it's all "race communism."

>>2891455>turned into a porn subcategory>>2891462>can't decide whether it's primarily an aesthetic Gothic literature is all about women's relationships to abusive and alienating patriarchy, it makes sense. Twin Peaks is a gothic melodrama about a teen girl trying to fight against being possessed by a demon. Capitalism has universalized the condition of being a scary fairy tale Bluebeard vampire guy who grooms teens in his castle, so now every middle class guy can abuse women by turning them into sex objects and forcing them to get tattoos or piercings, or just wear a collar I guess
>>2891567what happens in bible to arrogant Jewish Baal worshipers who sacrificed children to their man-made pagan idols which they claim to be God (the "AGI" of AI cultists)
>>2891744>Twin Peaks is a gothic melodrama about a teen girl trying to fight against being possessed by a demonReminded me of Beetlejuice as well.
>>2891744One thing that tingles my brain is remembering that Marx was a victorian middle class man, so all those classic horror stories were pop culture to him. He was making pop culture references in his theoretical works.
And it's not that horror "seems to" make for good metaphors for capitalism, it's that the genre is the outgrowth of the disorienting alienation of capitalism.
Doesn't Dracula start with him doing a real estate scheme in order to acquire land to move to britain?
>>2891744Classic goth lit is actually about women jumping up the social ladder by taming a rich dangerous man by defeating his crazy wife living in the attic so that she can dominate the lower class servants.

At this point I've come to terms with the reality that the mods are involved with the distributed vanguard. a shadowy research time. i can link it. fuck it.
https://juche.org/briefings/end-of-endingsVideo is related, very related. Nobody who calls me schizo has addressed it. I think the real schizo take is that if a maoist kills himself, it's automatically some far right murder plot. I find it more likely that one of his own cultists took him out than the government. The government isn't going to kill someone for being pro-cultism, maybe watch them, but not harm them.
>>2891797>A shadowy RESEARCH teamFixed. They began off as Praxis Research Team, then later I'm guessing reformed under multiple names we have not been able to find. They were mapping logistics for praxis in different localities, which means what, i have zero clue. The research team is mentioned in the first screenshots. It's not AI you can google it to find it on philly WSAs website.
The mission statement of this organization said "a working-class research collective committed to the materialist study of geographic, political, and social conditions as they bear upon the struggle for liberation. Our analysis is aimed at identifying the concrete conditions under which workers organize, resist, and build power. We reject the separation of theory and practice. Our research is oriented toward the development of praxis, the unity of reflection and action. Every study we produce is designed to answer a single question, What is to be done, and where?"
