https://itch.io/jam/zine-o-rama-iiYou want to see the open road this summer? Gas is expensive — it might just be on a bike. Summertime approaches. El Niño is heating up. This is going to be the hottest year yet, or the coolest going forward, depending on your perspective. Irregardless, the heat is cranking up. Bodies are finding each other on sweat‑soaked dancefloors. The open road glistens with heat, more seductive than any man’s muse.
The indie printing presses keep pressing. More writers than ever before have been imprisoned. The zine represents the ultimate freedom, just like the rumble of a bike beneath you on an empty highway.
Fuck it, we’re living in the end times. This is the era of hedonism, the era of abandon, the era where you can’t win so you might as well take pleasure in losing. There’s never been a better time to make and print some zines.
Zines have had a big revival over the last few years. We want to keep that momentum going. Grow it. Tend to it like a beautiful flower. We feel compelled to encourage people to make these things and just get them out there.
So HOUDINI Magazine is continuing our annual tradition, the yearly Zine-o-Rama returns. This is the second Zine‑O‑Rama. It’s unranked. The goal? Just get people to make something. Low pressure. We want to see all types of submissions.
(We’re using “zine” pretty loosely here, the only rule is it has to be something you can reasonably print at home or the library, fold up, and carry around to give to someone in person. Tuck one into your bike's saddle bag. Leave a few on the bar counter. Hand one to the older woman who let you bum a Parliament. Leave a zine with your tip at the diner. Slip them into library books. Whatever.)
Take a look at last year's submissions for more inspiration!
Your zine could be:
- Poetry and prose
- Informational harm reduction drug education guides
- Pulp fiction, horror, and other short stories
- Comics, flipbooks, and graphic stories
- Political theory, essays, opinions
- Tabletop RPGs, small games, dice zines, playing card guides
- Erotica, confessionals, gender philosophy
- Sketchbook samples, collage, photography
- Literally anything
But if you need a bit of help, the bonus theme for this year is “After Hours”, for all the things that happen when the sun sets, when the shops close, then the rest of the world rests.
We welcome an 18+ audience. The vibe is adventure, night life and summer love in the age of collapse. The theme is completely optional.
Make it in Photoshop. Scan it by hand. Use a tool like Decker for digital versions. Crumple it a little first. However you want to do it. Just make sure your submission includes a PDF file for printing.
We just want to see as many people as possible making zines, printing zines, sharing zines. Self‑publishing thoughts and creations that can’t be pigeonholed into an algorithm. You speak it, you print it, it exists.
Let’s make some zines.
>>2826245>Tabletop RPGs, small games, dice zines, playing card guidesThis is why you aren't serious
>>2826245I rip on ya Erik, but this is pretty neat. Maybe Ill submit smt
>>2826174>None of these people work alone unless they surround themselves with other more talented people.I remember seeing a pic going around of Brace Belden hanging out with Dasha when they were quite young and before anyone knew who any of these people were, and others were reacting like, what the hell??? Like this media zone is really a small group of people who all know each other, and many of them already did know each other before doing anything.
I think that's probably common in most "creative" scenes though. We're talking about comedy / podcasting but it's also similar in music. I like industrial music and in the late 1980s there were two concentrated points of it in Chicago and Vancouver. Most of the "famous" bands were from those two cities. Then there were groups like Revco which were members of different bands who all knew each other. For whatever reason there was enough concentrated fans locally as well but there were enough musicians doing the same kind of thing in the same place to form a critical mass and generate a lot of creativity, but individual talents uh, varied. Like individually one of these guys was just barking and banging a drum.
>>2826235It's the other way around. These girls adopt a nazi larp because it's easy to get attention that way and there is a lack of women in those spaces (because they're actively hostile to women). I don't think they know much about politics
>>2826239>videotoday's satire, tomorrow's reality sadly
>>2826235>the new nazi egirl that killed herself the other day is further proof this place needs its own egirlyour conclusion doesn't follow your premise
>>2826014you need to get back on the meds.
Why do you guys hate so much trots?
t. trot
>>2826329You talk about how you want to be the epic aura farming Red Army soldiers and run a Bolshevik style party and then all said party does is do entryism into social-democratic organisations and tail the country's bourgeois liberal party. And I'm being generous by assuming you want to run a Bolshevik style party when in real life every single Trot group are more like the Mensheviks (SWP doesn't require ideological education for its members and doesn't think revolution is an achievable thing, for example).
>>2826371I watched that one I think, it's some Lebanese anarchist glowie seething for an hour lol
>>2826374>anarchist glowie seethingmany such cases, and all of them need to stop happening.
>>2826329thoughts on roman polanski?
>>2826377Yeah he was pretty much identical in content and tone (snarky, demure, pretentious, resentful, holier-than-thou attitude) like that guy Badmouse, but with an "Im lebanese so you have to listen to me" twist
It was a pretty good laugh if you wanna ragewatch something tho
>>2826385Hakim is an arab also from a nation destroyed by liberalism and a tankie, what now """anarchist""".
>>2826384admitted to drugging and raping a 13 year old
should have immediately executed
>>2826422If only, but he was talking bout Hezbollah and stuff, not Israel
>>2826426Islamists are reactionary. So is Israel. Simple as
>>2826422>uhh he's hecking lebanese, check your priviledge westoid.not a source for an actual argument about a regime being reactionary, sorry dear.
also being against Nvrth Goatria or Cubased is instant rejection of any following cope, shows you are just a whore to the status quo in every way that matters.
>>2826430these islamists in question are fighting colonization by a well backed by the global hegemony nation, so is not the same thing unless you simplify everything to justify inaction.
>>2826431How has DPRK changed the status quo in the last 70 years and how are they different from the average thirdie hybrid regime besides running a more state-directed economy and getting fucked by sanctions?
>>2826235What happened to that trans Dixiebol one we had? I forget her name
>>2826433I hate nationalists and religious nuts in my country, even if they're anti-NATO. Why would I apply a different standard to leftists from the MENA?
>>2826436Shay. I wonder if she's still alive tbqh, I hope to see her post on /siberia/ again
>>2826422>>2826426>lebanese guy doesn't like reactionary regimes>western leftoid: "NOOOOOO GLOWIE GLOWIE GLOWIE!">"If only"i still wouldn't be surprised if pro-palestine radlib would turn down a potential ally tho
they're just the new western maoist at this point
>>2826430Sorry pal, but it depends on the conditions, when islamists are fighting against the spearhead of US imperialism they are not reactionary. Not every islamist group is ISIS
>>2826441What are you trying to say?
>>2826434simply by existing and opposing the status quo of liberalism and capitalism while claiming socialism already puts them against the world order, in fact you already point at them being sanctioned, because it's a war for systems and you just want to deny for self satisfaction that amounts to nil.
>>2826431>heckingopinion discarded
>>2826216>>2826201BE LLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTT
>>2826443They are though. Their entire strategy is fighting to the death, killing commies and enforcing IMF diktats. Why not recognize both the Islamist militias and Israel as fundamentally hostile to everything the left is trying to achieve?
>>2826440>I hate nationalists and religious nuts in my country, even if they're anti-NATO. Why would I apply a different standard to leftists from the MENA? because is retarded to go against the only groups in question fighting against genocidal colonization even if they are reactionary, what is this shit, Hezbolah and Hamas are reactionary, they are also enemies of the left, propped up or organic purgers of communists, but if they fall it won't be a trotskiite falacy where the true leftists will rise up after they and they will defend against colonizations that we can support, no, the lebanese and palestinians will turn into the new indians and all the leftoids and liberaloids will do is go "mea culpa, how evil we are/you are." and nothing will change.
>>2826447America doesn't ideologically discriminate in terms of sanctions or trade, they readily trade with China and Vietnam for example.
>>2826448>opinion discardedyou can't read either way, too much for your lib brain.
>>2826462>they readily trade with China and Vietnam for example.pff, yeah, i wonder why they trade with them, because they are too pasive to do anything, China and Vietnam are neutral, good or bad, but don't ever expect Fighting against the status quo in anyway from them.
>>2826443If you are fighting for socialism: you're not reactionary
If you are fighting for literally anything else: you're reactionary
>>Bbbut they're le hecking wholesome anti-imperialist nations!!!!!!!!!MLkiddie cope that has gotten us nowhere for the past 100 years.
>>2826329Why do you guys hate so much frots?
t. frot(ter)
>>2826466why uyghas in this site supporting any of these clowns, it's a waste of time.
>>2826456Eternal Yankee reduced to making fantasy stories about how they'd totally BTFO The DPRK just so hard if they had the chance.
Lmao. Lol. We've been here before and it never seems to go well for them. Even in much preferable conditions. In Afghanistan or Iraq at least they had a chance at 'victory', for the DPRK this fantasy is the closest they're ever going to get, and i think they know that to the point even the idiot american wouldn't be stupid enough to try.
>>2826422*lebanese-american (ie, american)
>>2826473>If you are fighting for socialism: you're not reactionary >If you are fighting for literally anything else: you're reactionaryso Marx and Engels were reactionary for supporting Poland against Russia is that what you are saying ?.
>>2826466>BEcuckscels exposing themselves as even bigger racists Curious that out of all the countries in the world Giorgio LARPopolous chose one where a genocide against black people occured and nazis retreated to when they lost…..
>>2826478Yes. I don't idolize M&E like MLkiddies. When they fucked up about something incall them out. And they fucked up in supportung any kind of nasoynalist struggle. Simple as.
>>2826456will it have a good ending like in that cold war game where you can side with the USSR to nuke europe ?.
>>2826482> And they fucked up in supportung any kind of nasoynalist struggle. Simple as.ah, okay, you just think the oppressed should always be oppressed if it's not your kind of revolution.
no wonder non ML's did nothing in the past 250 years.
>>2826478They supported the republican and socialist movement in Poland as a counterweight against the feudal despotism of the Russian tsardom, consistent with the fact that they wanted to break down the feudal remnants of the previous mode of production. They were right at the time given the fact that Poland was a hotbed of revolution within the Russian Empire and didn't live to see the reactionary white regime that would come to rule the Polish later.
>>2826483>will it have a good ending like in that cold war game where you can side with the USSR to nuke europe ?.Absolutely not. It does look like the best koreans will be doing a shadowy evil conspiracy in locations as far as New York and Paris, though.
>>2826456>O'Hara explained that the two nations have been deadlocked since the Korean war, and as a result, North Korea has thousands of artillery batteries pointed directly at Seoul, the capital of South Korea. To Infinity Ward, it "felt like a setting that could be ripped from the headlines," which is one of the core pillars the team is striving for when telling a story in the series.<He went on to say that it's been a long time since the "grunt perspective" has been portrayed in Modern Warfare, with the series opting for special ops teams and military veterans to lead the way in recent games. Due to South Korea's mandatory military service for adults aged between 18-28, however, it makes for the perfect setting to return to the perspective of young soldiers who "have no idea what's going on" and are blindly following orders, just trying to survive to the next moment. >>2826509Not even pretending not to do propaganda:
>Dr Sarah Son, Senior Lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield, said the move "could be controversial" as it "turns still-unresolved war into entertainment". Some Koreans reacted more positively, with one calling Korea's inclusion in one of gaming's biggest franchises a "symbolic moment", external.<Developer Infinity Ward said the game will be "grounded in the military authenticity Modern Warfare is known for".
>mong them, some Koreans reacting to the setting have embraced Infinity Ward's decision to tell the story from the perspective of ordinary South Korean soldiers caught up in the conflict.<-"The soldiers' faces and the atmosphere of the locations all have that familiar Korean feel, so I'm genuinely excited," said one, external.>-"When I heard the rumour that the ROK Army would be in it, my immediate reaction was 'obviously just an extra…'," posted another, external.>-"Then I heard they're not just present but one of the playable protagonists? And not even special forces, handled from the perspective of an ordinary conscripted soldier, that's what gets me."Oh and also, they're just trying to follow the success of battlefield, which is atm dominant in these FPSs:<Beyond the setting, Infinity Ward announced significant changes to gameplay, including revamped movement mechanics and more interactive environments.
>The studio is also overhauling DMZ, its extraction-style multiplayer mode, and introducing a new 'Frontlines' system designed to make battles feel more dynamic and reactive. >>2826498b-but it's her turn clap emoji
>>2826488MLs have achieved little to nothing for the past 40 years except reform themselves until the most radical elements are shed
whats some stupid internet drama that is going on
>>2826453Because they are in opposition to imperialism, thus they are actually in favor of leftist goals atm. Should the situation change, they will obviously become reactionaries pretty much right away, but for now they are allies
>>2826473Thank god they're fighting for socialism by militarily opposing imperialist hegemony then
>Le MLism is le fascismyawn, ultroids need to get new material
>>2826529And yet, they still accomplished vastly more in those 40 years than non MLs have accomplished in the last 250. Curious that
>>2826450BE cleared, cope & seethe
>>2826490yet in today's world the previous modes of production are all gone and political "progression" are just taste changes and nothing really revolutionary in any way, the only difference today is that one group is being exterminated and the other is not, why should ignore the political context of genocide for political instrumentation is never talked about really.
call me the j-word
>>2826546really? 90% of MLs spend their time writing shitty newspapers and running parties no one gives a fuck about, talking about how we should support failed bourgeois state #72 because le anti-imperialism while they protest with their crowd of old men
>>2826543>BE instantly becomes closer and closer to a gropyerhe's a grifter and cult leader
>>2826529and even then they are far more relevant to take the mantle of vanguard of the proletariat in any place of the world than non ML's, what does it say about ideologies that even at the lowest moment to MLism's strength, education, Popularity, organization, development of new tactics and strategies and resources thanks to the fall of the USSR can't even surpass them, devolving to namecalling and cries about being evil and being vectors to liberalism thinking after them ML's fall its our turn !.
>>2826558still waiting for MLs to do anything but write newspapers, go to protests with their 20 members, and get ignored by even the FBI and other similar groups
>>2826556>really? 90% of MLs spend their time writing shitty newspapers and running parties no one gives a fuck about, talking about how we should support failed bourgeois state #72 because le anti-imperialism while they protest with their crowd of old menactually progressive over the void of non MLism.
>>2826556Hilarious thing to say when the CPC has over 100 million members and has lifted billions out of slavery and extreme poverty all while turning China into the most powerful nation on earth, meanwhile the greatest accomplishment of the western left is CHAZ and terrorizing people into voting for the guy who would green light the Gaza holocaust. Sad!
>>2826564>muh cpc bro!!!!hardly ML in the traditional sense
>>2826565all of them besides china and vietnam are isolates that have simply become social democrats, the MLs everywhere else are either reformists or irrelevant completely
>>2826561More like still coping lel
>>2826567How’s CHAZ doing?
>>2826561>still waiting for MLs to do anything but write newspapers, go to protests with their 20 members, and get ignored by even the FBI and other similar groupsagain, you fetishise the glorious revolutionary moment over anything close to building any concentration and education between the working class, in fact you seem to disdain it, ignoring modern needs and lack of development and vain traditionalism, something every leftist, even sucdems aprove, what even are you.
>>2826571and? chaz was a piece of shit, i like how you take "MLism is a failure" to mean that i support every piece of shit failure also, because it's non-ML
>>2826567That's still an ML government that governs one fifth of the the world's population dumbass, it accomplishes more every day by simply being than nonMLs have accomplished in 250 years
>>2826575Again, how is Marxism Leninism a failure when China single-handedly disproves this?
>>2826574being an irrelevant, reformist party means nothing if you don't actually reach anyone, how relevant is the average ML party in the west? or even in the wholesome other nations?
>>2826557honestly I briefly entertained the temptation of "making content marxistly" until I observed shit pastry's trajectory
>>2826578because china surpassed MLism and became something moderately related to it? it is nothing but a social democracy now
>>2826581Completely incoherent take
>>2826580a guy like him will only ever gravitate to controversy, and will take the most absurd positions if they gain respect, he'll start saying all the groyper shit and so on, if it produces controversy and allows him to get into meaningless debates
>>2826584elaborate how china is even a ML state at this point? because it has a strong party? because it nominally calls itself communist?
>>2826590social democratic bootlicker #1784, thanks for your great response
>>2826588Because it leads the real movement
>>2826602maybe, but it is still hardly ML except in the more trivial of ways
>>2826605give me a quote from principles of leninism by j.v. stalin that contradicts what china is doing
>>2826605It's ML in the sense that it uses Marxism Leninism as the basis for their entire political structure. Hardly trivial
What's LeftyPol CONSENSUS on President Sunday?
>>2826579>being an irrelevant, reformist party means nothing if you don't actually reach anyone, how relevant is the average ML party in the west? or even in the wholesome other nations?more than non ML's i assure you, meaning even then they can grow, what about your kind ?.
>>2826646this is why every political question "in the abstract" is meaningless without the lens of the primary contradiction (imperialism) acting as an epistemic razor
>>2826466It's even sadder. Every sort of IDPOL grifter immediately abandons their own identity to declare Jewish supremacy if given the chance. Because they know it is the better label to wear. They know the power that Zionism carries in western society and, from one side or another of the political spectacle they want to latch on to it. Everyone knows that Zionism will get infinite institutional support insofar as Israel is a strategic asset for NATO. Which is forever as long as NATO exists. Which is forever as long as the USA exists. All IDPOLers wish they could claim to be Jewish right now: Ten times the claims of oppression to benefit from while being actually privileged in everything within western society.
A leftoid like FDS can't declare themselves a Zionist, but they can signal their utility by gatekeeping and crying about atisemitism and generally being useful to imperialist interests behind Israel.
Real bad pickme energy behind FDS.He demonstrates that he'd wield his blackness to defend Zionism at the drop of a hat. Or rather, at the faintest whiff of money to be made. Goyslave is appropriate. Uncle Tom for Zionists even more, but that may be too spicy for the audience, yet.
>>2826646>A counterargument is to disregard the entire discussionI get tired of this gaynazianon. Don't you ever have something non pedantic or obtuse to contribute?
Japan is not China, the historical conditions, political structures, economy and contemporary geopolitical position of these countries could not be more different. Pointing to a tokyo skyline and saying, well Japan developed too, is meaningless as a point of analysis or critique and does nothing but obfuscate the real developments of the socialist movement as it exists. We're also not talking about individuals who might have accomplished so and so, but ideologies or political ideas and what they accomplished historically and contemporarily, in their totality
>>2826341The SWP is openly zionist.
>>2826663It's not a pedantic point, especially given the point of socialism being about the social relations of production
>>2826543He's got to get those internet bucks some how
>>2826576I remember when MLs shit on China for siding with Amerika to destroy the USSR, oh how the mighty have fallen.
>>2826087Interesting that they've got a bot dedicated to saying this every time Socialism4All gets mentioned anywhere on this site. Subtle way to discourage engagement with the channel.
It's a bullshit criticism btw, since he uploads the audiobooks with commentary spliced out as well. He's not an amateur anymore and has been at this for over 6 years now. But nice try.
>>2826543He's on his way to become a Haz tier lolcow at this point. Dunno why he still has shooters here.
>>2826545>militarily opposing imperialist hegemonyThey're begging for US investment in Iran now.
>>2826565>>2826576Not even the CPC considers themselves to be ML. Stop with the cope, tanKKKidie.
>>2826868The Chinese are the biggest treatlerites on this Earth. All their influencers are rich nepobabys flexing their wealth on social media.
>>2826874You tried to bully them into caring about conquest and space and shit, but now man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind, and it's treats and gambling.
>>2826861At least Haz has a political party that gets invited to international conferences. BE is an Aussie neckbeard sitting in his apartment in Argentina with his YouTube channel. I don't why he tries to be so repulsive, his doubling down on the Jew shit is not a healthy trajectory.
>>2826874Show an average Chinese person the top western influencers and then ask them what they think of westerners based on this.
I mean one of the top political influencers is a guy who is literally nicknamed roach king and wallows in his own filth. The rest are OF whores
>>2826867Yes they do
>>2826868That is a huge accomplishment for a country operating outside of the control of US hegemony. And on a much larger scale than any other country, China could just as easily have looked like india, were it not for the Marxist Leninist foundations.
Dirigisme operated under the support of US imperialist hegemony and can only function because of that, were these countries independent or semi independent of the US hegemony, but not ML, they could not accomplish what China does and they continue to not accomplish what China does to this day. They are slaves
>>2826892The Chinese have lolcows, sluts and grifters of their own. Stop with the noble savage view of them.
>>2826905>Yes they doSource and citation, tanKKKiddie? Last time I checked they dripped ML for "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" aka succdem nationalism.
Treatlerite theory isn't Marxist. It is only for online grifters. Real life communists don't call the people they should be representing idiot sheeple. Mao didn't belittle the people, he organised all of the exploited classes.
>>2826907>Source?The chinese constitution
<Both the victory in China’s New Democratic Revolution and the successes in its socialist cause have been achieved by the Chinese people of all ethnic groups under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought by upholding truth, correcting errors, and surmounting many difficulties and obstacles. Our country will long remain in the primary stage of socialism. The fundamental task for our country is to concentrate on achieving socialist modernization along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We the Chinese people of all ethnic groups will continue, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, to uphold the people’s democratic dictatorship, stay on the socialist road, carry out reform and opening up, steadily improve the socialist institutions, develop the socialist market economy and socialist democracy, improve socialist rule of law, apply the new development philosophy, and work hard in a spirit of self-reliance to modernize step by step the country’s industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology and promote coordinated material, political, cultural-ethical, social and ecological advancement, in order to build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. >>2826918The same constitution that lets workers suffer wage theft, and overwork, yearly average workhours close to those of african and south asian neocolonies? Hope Shanghai bobo middle classes can treat themselves on the superprofits extacted from the natural resources china is monopolizing in the Congo. Next they can help the US "peacekeep" strategic straits and rowdy regions. Can't have any anti-systemic revolutions breaking out now that chinese capital is being exported into western imperialist markets.
>>2826921I'm running out of time to make enough to bother fixing my chopped ass. I'm 40 in a few months it's kinda pointless now.

Oldfag already found BE to be dodgy at the minimum, it was only after he said pro-palestine talking point radlibs and other anons were gassing/praising him up
>>2827007clout-chasing contrarianism is not an ideology
everyone shut the fuck up and give me a recap of the interview right fucking now
FUCK I missed it, nobody archived it?
i am too lazy to watch that. give me a recap right fucking now.
>>2827022>>2827023grok give him a recap
>>2825904I hate walking ouyghshells too.
>>2827039@grok responds:
the video you are talking is an interview between two people. it's important to emphasize that elon musk is cool and likeable and normal and hasan piker did not cuck him by having sex with ashley st clair.
>>2826905>And on a much larger scale than any other country, China could just as easily have looked like india, were it not for the Marxist Leninist foundations.I think the most you can say is that without accelerated reform of social conditions you don't get the same level of development later on, but what that looked like in China was several decades of semi-permanent war, including one of the most insanely long-lasting episodes of mass violence in the history of humanity from 1936-1949. But industrialization also just doesn't happen from nothing, China opened up trade barriers to the U.S. in the 1980s and studied American and Japanese industrial management methods. Like that's how they got those cyberpunk cities not because they believed in Mao Zedong Thought super hard (after a certain point).
>Dirigisme operated under the support of US imperialist hegemony and can only function because of that, were these countries independent or semi independent of the US hegemony, but not ML, they could not accomplish what China does and they continue to not accomplish what China does to this day. They are slavesIndia was allied with the Soviet Union (against China).
BE is fundamentally, by his own admission, opposed to the west - he's a third worldist who sees the first world as irredeemably evil and in need of destruction.
That is his primary political drive. Economically he's admitted he doesn't give a fuck about communism. He's more likely a social democrat than anything else.
Used to think he was based on his anti zionism and takes on Israel but now he's just devolved into using the term goy as much as possible refering to goycattle goyslaves etc which as terms originate in neo-nazi circles and he uses these terms specifically because he knows it's controversial and edgy and will annoy people.
>>2827101well, clout chasing contrarianism is not an ideology, and all that, also anti-westernism is not an ideology either
>>2827101Trve. Ever since he denounced communism altogether I just don't care about what he has to say. He's just another dime a dozen edgy political streamer.
>>2827104he's ultimately like a anti-western groyper, he believes in nothing but being a contrarian, in generating controversy, and picking fights for the fuck of it, at one point he's just gonna go fully in with no sense of irony
>>2827101>and will annoy people.it only annoys liberals and zionists (kind of the same thing), no one else cares
>>2827107>You're Zionist if you don't deep throat BE!!!You're in a cult.
>>2827107sure man, you can suck up to your cult leader but he'll never love you
>>2827101yeah whatever sure ok
>>2827165If NAMBLA/Trump/Israel supporter Chris Cutrone is against you, you have won.
>>2827176It's proven he inflates his views with bots. Also the algorithms very much likes to boost inflammatory political content such has Asmons. I wouldn't be surprised if there's ZioMAGA dark money at play as well.
>>2827104When has he denounced communism
>>2827177100%, this applies to every single rightoid online figure.
>>2827100Nobody said it's because they "really believe" in Mao Zedong thought. I am saying that the conditions that gave rise to the contemporary Chinese state are those of succesful socialist revolution, that is the primary difference between it and comparable economies. Other countries have opened up economically to the US or always were and have not seen the achievement on a scale anywhere near that of China.
India being an "ally" of the ussr at one point does not make them not subject to US economic hegemony

>I mean at the end of the day what matters I think that the lying about the Frankfurt school not in terms of did they get CIA money or not but no their ideas what did they actually think what did they actually write and how did they understand their own work in in light of the political tasks that's epiphenomenal meaning does it you know does it matter that Gabriel Rock Hill lies about the Frankfurt School not that much, but I feel like his audience, what he's really lying to his audience about is that China is a socialist state, right? That's the bigger bigger sin than lying about the Frankfurt schoolThe CIA Frankfurt school is actually socialist but China is not and thinking otherwise is sinful.
This is what leftcoms actually want you to believe
>>2827233no they don't, turning pins into iron bars here about the frankfurt school is pretty similar to right wing conspiracists doing the same bullshit, but communistly, a crank is a crank
>>2827236>turning pins into iron barsI have never heard this turn of phrase
>>2827239it's a personal variation on the "turning straw into gold" phrase, so there you go friend

Even the turning straw into gold thing doesn't really work. It means to make something valuable out of something worthless. When it seems more like you were trying to say "make a mountain out of a molehill" or smt. Much ado about nothing kind of thing

>>2827101This post reads like I was written by a goyslave.
Jewish supremacists use goy as a racial insult. Settlers scream it as Palestinians as they force them off of their land. Getting upset over anyone else using goy is playing into the jewish supremacist idea that somehow jews are just special, they deserve the right to use slurs against others and their slurs should be protected from mockery. Getting upset over someone using goy is the same kind of pearl clutching as getting upset over a black person using the word uygha.

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

I just get tired of seeing him get pushed so much on this board, I'm not interested in his drama.

>>2827578It's even more hilarious considering the Shah couldn't manage to eliminate the communists, the Islamists did it with the help of the CIA. Some of the critical support people would make an alliance with a nationalist group in the name of democracy or anti-imperialism o algo during a revolutionary situation and end up getting impaled 2 weeks afterward
>>2827595If communists fail at revolution it's their own fault. What, you want a gold star for "being a communist"? A participation trophy?
Not every glorified communist book club deserves " support" (see afghanistan)
And yes, communists have allied with nationalists several times in history. Who wins afterwards is, again, a matter of competence. Git gud and deal with it.
You know what never happens though? Communists allying with "leftists".
>>2827619TanKKKiddies will say the thousands of communists massacred by Ayatollists or mujahideen deserved it and just "needed to git gud" but then turn around and call you a glowie wrecker for reading Adorno. No wonder they have achieved nothing besides losing the cold war.
>>2827671Trotskyite intellectuals are not communist
>>2827675The real communists were Islamists backed by CIA and Mossad!
>>2827677The “real communists” converted to Twelver Shiism because they correctly understood that was where the real movement was located in the Iranian context. It’s almost like Marxism Leninism isn’t a static dogma but dependent on the material conditions of each nation

>>2827993First of all, I am literally saying they should have gotten good. By not allying with the fucking nationalists and getting killed afterwards like in most cases when the left liquidated itself by allying with nationalists!.
>The USSR would have supported the KMT if they'd wonBecause the USSR had to deprioritize revolution over its national interests after the Second International failed in Europe. And even after that, they've begun arming the CPC even as the KMT government still existed and lorded over most of China. Secondly, this is a complete nonsequitur, the Islamists were supported by the CIA in their purges of communists, not the USSR.
>>2827994Dworkin definitely had a point, but also she was fat and gross. I doubt her appearance influenced her opinions though. Somehow I don't think getting lusted after by rapey 1980s dudes would've improved her opinion on porn.
>>2828009>By not allying with the fucking nationalists and getting killed afterwards like in most cases when the left liquidated itself by allying with nationalistsWhat would that have looked like in the Iranian context? Supporting the Shah? Sitting on the sidelines as a revolution unfolds?
>>2828021Even sitting in an armchair would have been a better course of action than following the Soviet line and supporting the Islamists. And they did try to solicit support from the Iranian working class, especially oil workers; they could have done that without the united front! There were other leftist groups in Iran who didn't join them in that suicidal endeavor. It would have been much better for them strategically if they continued their work without revealing their hand.
>>2828031How would that have changed the outcome though? Unless they found some way to take power themselves, the Islamists would have come after them regardless of whether or not they had previously been allies.
>>2828039It would have got less of them killed and there would still be an organized left opposition in Iran. The CIA and the IRGC may not have found and eliminated them so easily if they didn't support the Islamic government.
>>2828042>It would have got less of them killed and there would still be an organized left opposition in Iran. I really don't see how that follows. This wouldn't have prevented them from being rounded up, imprisoned, executed, etc. The only thing that could've stopped that would have been a successful seizure of power by the communists themselves.
>>2828044They've began overt activity, participated in the revolution explicitly on the side of the Islamists, started mass recruitment and participated in elections after the revolution, up until 1982. They've survived the Shah by staying in the underground and before the revolution they were in a position to keep biding their time. It may not have changed the outcome entirely but it would have been 100% better than rushing to their own demise

Too many kids nowadays are claiming to be "autistic" "adhd" "bipolar" "schizo" etc. Back when it was normal to beat kids none of this shit was happening but lay off the belt for a few generations and then suddenly every kid is "mentally ill". It's time to restore discipline and to teach these tards a lesson. I was beaten by my dad and I turned out great. Usually kids who don't get beaten become retarded.

"To Infrared, whereas the partisan of a few decades ago would go to the people and hear their concerns, materially change communities, and gain the active support of the masses, the partisan of today is a keyboard warrior:"
>nformation has become the most important battlespace of modern warfare. Having been rooted out of its position in both armed combat and civil society, the partisan revolutionary has retreated into information warfare. Information warfare is the final form of modern war, because it is the site within which universal modern form itself undergoes immanent contestation. In all hitherto spaces of warfare, the modern state could take for granted a basic distinction between the sphere of its own exercise of will, operational capabilities, and identity - and the sphere of criminality outside of it."

Too many people buy bourgeoise psychology these days.
In psychology's early days when it was a science, the dialectical synthesis of philosophy and biology, men like Skinner and Pavlov discovered behavior can be modified. Beatings support this, a small child especially a retarded one o ly understands pleasure and pain. To stop poor behavior pain will be inflicted and they will stop. Children do not have the ability to reason yet so using these core psychology practices is the most scientific.
>>2828651pulling up the clip of him saying talking about palestine would fuck his career by getting him booted off nebula was brutal. IDF signifier is too fucking dumb to not say the quiet part loud.
it'd be real petty to forward this to nebula, because all they'd do is jam him up, but they really need to be pressed to comment on the persistent rumours they're censoring their creators on palestine.

>>2829147Kids who get beat just get better at lying and hiding and sneaking and then use violence on their peers, which you the adult have set as a legitimate example when you need to impose your will. Humans aren’t computers or dogs, you’re baiting anyway.
>>2828937A bit de-materializing ain't it? Idk but I think drones are probably more important in 21st century partisan warfare than information warfare in terms of "irregular hit-and-run, swarm, etc. tactics" because a drone can literally blow you into itty bitty pieces, although I think information warfare is an important aspect of war. I clicked on the link and then went back and scanned the Haz essay they pulled that from:
>What is so silly about people like Jordan Peterson is how - as the most milquetoast ‘centre-right’ ‘conservative’ of the status quo, he accidentally represents something based - which is the minimum of a politico-ideological subjectivity misaligned with the establishment. Watching Jordan Peterson is a vector in the direction of ‘radicalization’ - because he is an accidental conduit of malign sovereignty, grounding the validity, truth, or value of thoughts in something other than the legitimate authorities (accredited professors, experts, mainstream media talking heads, etc.).https://showinfrared.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-maga-communismThat hasn't aged well. What's funny about this is that Peterson's whole scthick is that he's an accredited professor (of psychology) who came to dark Hobbesian conclusions and thus became neocon. Dugin is also a professor. Also if you don't like the video I've embedded these types of weapons are also more important to Iran than co-opting whatever influencers they've got to go on Press.TV.
>>2829482>Kids who get beat just get better at lying and hiding and sneaking and then use violence on their peersSo what you are saying is they will be more successful in life than the average chump who is taught to always bow to peer pressure?
No wonder western leftism is such a failure. Too many think they can cry and hug their way to communism because they never had any conflict growing up.
Like the weird thing about that essay is how much Haz is like a mirror of the liberals he hates so much. He thinks information can be used in a partisan and combative way as opposed to the liberal view that (he argues) that will have some open and global leveling effect. But they're all just yapping on a keyboard (same though).
Idk man. Also what the fuck is he talking about. Are you fucking kidding me. Jordan Peterson is a vector of radicalization? Libs believe that. What if he isn't? What if he's a deradicalizing vector?There are alt-right types who think that, maybe they're right because Peterson says you should just get married and become a good father or a mom and go to church and be a consumer. Your parents were right about everything before you went to college to get a film studies degree and became a leftist. And make sure to always dress for the job you want – not the job you have!

>>2829672Oh joy, Haz is still a idiot who wants to smash things. He is nothing but a provocateur that says anything to get clout. He is a pointless retard who will never have any power. and BE is also a idiot, saying anything to get clout and rage bait.
TL;DR Stop believing these pathetic retards, they will never have power and are nothing but a bunch of retards and contrarians that want clout and money.

Not only that but In a livestream, Haz claimed that rights in a communist society would be derived from the Bible and Quran and that communism and theocracy are the "same thing.",
Haz is a conservative/fascist retard pretending to be a communist.
>>2829964I'm not simping, i just said that they were right about a thing.

Unrelated but generally speaking I think the purpose of the redscarepod and other such dark enlightenment places is that they exist to shore up clout for the right as cool and edgy rather than mostly boomer and twitch chud pilled. Thus making it more attractive for women and men alike to become a rightiod but your average chud grug is very very cringe, this is what I call "Clout as a currency" it is basically superstructural capital that basically nuked pride month as a whole (Nobody is doing it now) and made being trans illegal but the cost of this is that more and more people think that chuds are weak ugly retards. However /lit/ and redscarepod are basically the farm from warcraft or pylons from starcraft, thus granting even more superstuctural capital. The actual material base however is more akin to gold and lumber which have a finite resource rather than the farms in warcraft. In any sort of culture war you are going to have people who lose clout, Sydney Sweeney is a lost hero unit, Asmongold is still kicking but he's fallen off somewhat with his zoomer pope status being challenged as more women turn chud and more men turn left for example.

Indian Motorcycles is apparently hiring conservative influencers to attack Harley Davidson as being gay. No relationship to actual gay bikers.
>THE CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCERS have spoken: Harley-Davidson—whose motorcycles helped create the paradigm of American masculinity—is in fact woke and gay.
>The past week has seen wave after wave of MAGA personalities and meme accounts decide, seemingly out of nowhere, that Harley-Davidson was company non grata. MAGA influencer Priya Patel declared the manufacturer “fundamentally anti-American,” while Hercules actor-turned-tweeter Kevin Sorbo said his friends were abandoning Harley-Davidson en masse.
>Conservative meme account “Prison Mitch” told his more than 100,000 followers that Harley-Davidson is “woke and gay” then posted a picture of a man in a biker’s vest having gay sex (jarring but basically SFW), quipping that Harley-Davidson riders rode a very different kind of “hog.”
>Right-wing attacks on supposedly liberal corporations aren’t new. But, beyond the confrontational imagery, this campaign against the motorcycle giant stands out for the fact that Harley-Davidson doesn’t appear to have done anything terribly “woke.”
>Instead, the effort seems designed squarely just to benefit Indian Motorcycle, a Harley rival. How can you tell? Because basically every influencer throwing a grenade at Harley is also simultaneously boosting its competitor. Prison Mitch, for example, posted a Marco Rubio meme with the secretary of state in an Indian biker’s vest.
>“Harley Davidson spent years pandering to activists and corporate DEI politics,” complained pro-Trump personality Isabella Maria DeLuca, who is not a noted motorcycle enthusiast. “Indian Motorcycle spent years building motorcycles and honoring American heritage.”[…]
>The bizarre storm began on Wednesday, when mixed martial arts fighter Sean Strickland posted that he was ditching Harley-Davidson motorcycles for the, in his view, substantially less woke Indian Motorcycle.
>“Officially made the switch to Indian Motorcycle,” Strickland wrote. “What does Indian stand for? No fucking clue, the way it should be. Everytime I got on my harley I was indirectly supporting radical idealogy [sic] that actually pushing radical idealogy [sic] on children.
>“There is no going back from that,” he concluded.https://substack.com/inbox/post/200205206Why are people on the internet, in public social networks, so rude for no reason?

The thing is, listening to barely literate midwits for hours on stream reading Twitter hottakes isn't exactly a better hobby than watching Marvel slop or being a Taylor Swift fan.
I would even argue that Swifties have more emotional and social intelligence and genuine human contacts with people around them than the average nerd who develops a parasocial relationship with people like BE or Haz. Most redditors who watch Marvel slop have a wife, a job and a normal family life, and don't spend their whole free time arguing with maladjusted Twitter addicts.
And the irony is that 99% of their fanbases are gamers, they are basically spitting on their niche audience.

A guy who's famous for talking about hip hop and movies or some shit won't say ZOG, let's make 10 videos about that. Who the fuck cares.
>>2830967You dont understand the dialectical relationship between the US and Israel.
I think its safe two say that both countries have a Zionist Ocxupied Government, or simply ZOG for short.
I don't see what the problem is and why so many leftoids (liberals) are afraid to say it.
>>2830970>both countries have a Zionist Ocxupied GovernmentThe zionist regime is occupied by itself?
>>2830970I don't understand the autistic attachment to that term in particular. Say literally any other equivalent phrase that doesn't have historical baggage.
>>2830970example of zionist occupation is palestine and lebanon. america is a collaborator in zionist occupation that has been bribed and blackmailed. to that extent it is not a victim of zionist occupation but a collaborator. refute this point directly. furthermore "ZOG" is a slogan coined by burgerfat nazoids in the 1970s, which is why leftoids are hesitant to use it. it's like saying pretending 1488 is an anti imperialist slogan. to refuse to say ZOG is not to be pro-zionism, but against the framing of America as a victim of zionist occupation. Palestine and Lebanon are real victims of Zionist occupation.
>>2830970>You dont understand the dialectical relationship between the US and Israel.i explained it perfectly. the US is bribed and blackmaild by Israel. Israel is given weapons by the USA. palestine is actually occupied by zionists. the USA and israel are merely zionist by nature. there is no rescuing the US government from zionism because it was founded on anglo-prot zionism, AKA manifest destiny.
>>2830975no actually you're autistic for noticing the history and context behind the slogan, say 1488 now or you don't really love palestine like i do
>>2830975There's clearly an element of internet edgelordism to it. Saying ZOG makes liberals mad so it's now a mandatory shibboleth despite being a dumb framing where the US is a victim, and despite the fact that it was coined by american neo-nazis who used ZOG to mean, like, race-mixing and shit.
I occasionally chuckle when someone is called a "zog slave" or something similar but it's still retarded.
>>2830978>it's like saying pretending 1488 is an anti imperialist slogan.Someone should get BE to start saying 1488 now lol
Think of the Earth and the moon.
We we agree that the moon revolves around the earth, this is the primary relationship.
Now to say the moon has no effect on the earth is absurd.
The moon controls parts of the earth.
Can controlling here not be considered ocupied?
People simply do not like the origin of the word ZOG despite it being quite an accurate description of the material condition of things.
To say Heidegger didnt bring new thought to metaphysics and ignore him is the same as to ignore ZOG.
The nazis made alot of shit we use today in daily life, LSD, rockets, etc.
5o completely abandon a word due its origin is illogical and liberal.
>>2830990>Can controlling here not be considered ocupied?No that's not what occupation means. Palestine is occupied. The USA is not, it's the perpetrator enabling the occupation of Palestine.
>>2830995So let me get this straight.
If people sworn to idealogy, give money to every single politician and public figure to ensure they all say the same thing, thus keeping their population under their control; this is not occupying?
>>2830875Laura Loomer is the real president of the United States
>>2830970So Israel would be fine if it didn't have a ZOG? And we're supposed to be the liberal Zionists?
My final question to you.
Are there zionists working in our government?
If there are then do zionists not occupy our government?
>>2830995Wrong. Bourgeois Euro"amerikan" lumpen immigrant colonizers occupy land they call amerika.
>>2830994but the word, the grouping of letters, the sound it represents, is just an icon. one that to most people does not even represent the idea you would like it to. no one is saying throw away the idea, they're saying change the icon. if you understand how language works colloquially you will also understand that this is a necessity. you can't epic reddit debate away the perception of the term.
>>2830590>The thing is, listening to barely literate midwits for hours on stream reading Twitter hottakes isn't exactly a better hobby than watching Marvel slop or being a Taylor Swift fan.When did BE suggest people should do that?
All he said is that it’s better to spend your time on hobbies that build you as a person for example researching history.
>I would even argue that Swifties have more emotional and social intelligence You would be wrong to argue that.
>and genuine human contacts with people around them than the average nerd who develops a parasocial relationship with people like BE or Haz.Sure people who have parasocial relationships with streamers are annoying but most BE fans are less parasocial than most swifties and unlike Taylor Swift BE has made a conscious effort to stop his fans from forming parasocial relationships with him.
>Most redditors who watch Marvel slop have a wife, a job and a normal family life,Most “redditors” don’t exist, half of reddit is bots.
Do you think that people who watch your designated hated streamer don’t have jobs and families? I hope you realise that that’s a form of parasocialism aswell, who don’t know these people personally and these caricatures you’ve drawn up don’t exist.
>and don't spend their whole free time arguing with maladjusted Twitter addicts.But they do spend there free time arguing with maladjusted reddit addicts, which they are themselves.
>And the irony is that 99% of their fanbases are gamers, Once again, you’re being parasocial. You don’t know these people personally and wether or not they’re gamers.
>they are basically spitting on their niche audience.Idk the comment seems to agree with BE.
>>2830978>>2830989Stalin talked about how supporting the Emir of Afghanistan helped defeat British imperialism. Campists currently argue that supporting a capitalist theocracy in Iran is anti-imperialist. Using the same argument we should support white nationalism to help start an ethnic based civil war and weaken the American empire. Therefore 1488 is an anti-imperialist slogan.
>>2830994Heidegger was a fuck head.
Read Adorno
>>2831133Yeah who can forget when the Bolsheviks supported the Black Hundreds to weaken the Russian Empire
>>2831150Black hundreds wanted to support the monarchy while white nationalism would destroy the US empire. US only gets away with it's shit by pretending to be a freedom loving democracy fighting tyranny. Leftists know it all pretend but average person doesn't. Third worlders actually think if they moved to the US they can achieve the "American Dream." Third worlders work hard making American porky rich and stabbing their own working class in the back. But the instant the US declares everyone but whites will be slaves even potential collaborators will think twice about running to put a chain around their neck.
Seriously why do you think capitalist liberals love Hamilton and other "anti-racist" media that tries to show how accepting America is? Because by pretending to accept non-whites they get self motivated POC workers who throw their entire lives into capitalism. White nationalism completely destroys this illusion.
>>2831133I believe it. JDPON don has done a pretty good job at ending the usian empire.
>>2831133I hate this quotemining shit. You ever think he supported the Emir of Afghanistan not because it was historically progressive but because it would be useful for the Soviet Union not to have a BOG (british occupied government) on their border?
>>2829548How much did he have to pay her to be in this pic?
>>2831194The same goes or at least went for foreign policy of most states including Russia, Iran and China. Surely they won't bomb me, I got nukes or Hormuz or rare earth metals. Again, they're not always wrong, it looks like they are backing off from China at least in a direct military confrontation sense.
>>2831195And even if it was something third worlders didn't know, now they do because the internet is a thing. Many black children in Uganda or whatever are certainly listening to gamergate/incel slop right now because mobile phones got incredibly cheap for what they can do and that's just what you talk about on the internet basically.
>>2831162>while white nationalism would destroy the US empireIt would not, it wouldn't change much at all, US was white nationalist for most of its history and did just fine. It's basically white nationalist now
