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

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

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

>very real and common feeling amongst proletariansyeah its called liberalism!!!!!!!!!!!
We've seen countless anti-state coups over the years, like Soros currently in Indonesia, which were celebrated by "anti-fascists" whose praxis is destroying their own nation for finance imperialism. Ironic to see them wave One Piece flags since that series explicitly celebrates violence against the "World Government". Leftists believe they support One Piece, but look at them cringe and squirm at the thought of workers saying "we need to punch NWO globalists". The leftist anti-authoritarian mind cannot comprehend this very real and common feeling amongst proletarians:
https://crimethinc.com/2022/02/15/war-and-anarchists-anti-authoritarian-perspectives-in-ukraine<At this stage, our role can be described as the most radical approaches and views in the democratic camp. If liberals prefer to complain to the police in the event of an attack by the police or the far right, anarchists offer to cooperate with other groups that suffer from a similar problem and come to the defense of institutions or events if there is a possibility of an attack.Despite what your meme claims, anti-nationalism do understand patriotic pride! They are proud of their identity as Ukrainians! They gain dignity by getting together with their comrades to be the most radlib anarcho-Bidenists, who literally fight for Hunter Biden to be in the boardroom of one of the biggest resource extraction companies in their country.
>>2907576<Stalin: "I hope Israel weakens the British empire with the Egyptian Suez crisis"<Xi: " I hope Israel weakens the American empire with the Iranian Strait of Hormuz crisis"is this revolutionary defeatism?

You pay tribute to those states. You pay taxes to those states. You leave your surplus value to those states. Empty words aren't anti-nationalist. Paying taxes is. Leaving your sweat on the hands of those porkies is.

the ability to do that does not make you a capitalist. but you're right that the economic relations have been convoluted and confused in various ways as modern economies have become financialized. for example, most USAnians have their retirement funds invested in the stocks of various corporations. they get a cut, even it is minuscule of the profits of USAnian companies. and as many of these are extractivist corporations or manufacturing corporations or military contractors that directly profit from the subjugation of the global south/developing world/third world whatever you want to call it, average USAnians are made complicit in USA empire. in other words, the average USAnians economic interests are made to align, at least in part, with those of the bourgeoisie in his/her/they/them/xer own country

>>2907684You didn't understand the point.
>>2907688No I get it. by living in a non-ACK-SIS/"imperialized" state I'm "contributing" to it. Even though nothing fundamentally changes by living in a warzone/"imperialized state" because capital is global.
Russian oil is sold to India where it is refined and sold to Ukraine. Chinese proles buy goods sourced from both the west and the "anti-imperialist" states. Thirdy porkies send their kids to study at western universities.
Imperialism at its highest level is tied to capital, not particular states or borders. Adding more of the latter does not end the relation between capital and imperialism. No region is free of "sin" and there are no purely "proletarian" nations and no countries where no one is exploited.
The end of the US/Europe would not mean the end of capital, commodity production, capital export and bourgeois wars.

A porky in India who doesn't produce bombs won't be bombing union workers in Colombia. You shouldn't care, at least for now, if the Indian ones send their kids to Cambridge. That's the only way they get recognition in those circles, but that's doesn't mean they will have power to pull the trigger or lead the US army. You should care about who can order those powerful overly buffed armies to move and kill people.

>>2908035All culture belongs to chuds. it was made by chuds for chuds. Th left has black and white European movies about gay mimes or heroic revolutionary war movies where the country is now another node in the capitalist world order.
>>2908035>So, I actually think the chuds do have a valid claim to 40K. No matter how much some GW writers and leftist fans retroactively claim that the Imperium is meant to be the bad guys, that doesn't erase the fact that the setting is fundamentally a war setting. Around 98% of the focus is on the demigod super-soldiers.>That said seeing chuds claiming that Space King is retarded and it's a good example of how incoherent the online anti-woke sphere can be. Tom and Dan aren't tradcath nationalists. They probably wouldn't openly express any particular political views and would likely say that caring too much about politics is lame and gay. But based on their cartoons and podcast episodes, it's pretty obvious that they're some variety of libertarians who believe in essentially unlimited personal freedom, weed, porn, edgy jokes(including jokes mocking Christianity)Nothing will ever make you happy.
>>2908238>Good.Is that quote about an incel forum?
>>2908240NTA but being happy isn't something to strive for. People don't climb mountains or swim across the English channel to be happy. Selfish narrow minded people are "happy." Happiness is temporary anyway.
>>2908237Chuds don't have culture, they just take it from already existing culture and claim it as their own.
>>2908035The problem with 40k really boils down to how it portrays its fascists. It insists that the Imperium are evil bad guys, but then goes out of its way to justify each and every one of their actions as a necessary measure against the many forces threatening to destroy humanity. It makes it come across less like a pointless "eternity of carnage and bloodshed" under "the cruelest, most bloody regime imaginable" and more like a series of galactic D-Days and Stalingrads. Sure, you may lose millions of men to take or hold a single inch of ground, but these are noble sacrifices made to hold back the dark forces of oblivion threatening to swallow humanity (and often all life in general!).
And this really kind of undermines the setting as it wants to present itself. They want to say that this is the most GRIMDARK setting of all time, but I would argue that the average real world war is far more "grimdark" even on the conceptual level. The men who died in World War 1, for instance, died in their millions for absolutely no reason. They didn't die defending their families or their countries or for their religion or for freedom or for democracy or anything else. They just died. And the reason for their deaths was that hungering war machines that had been built up in the century prior (and the pride of their officers) demanded it. At most, it might determine some bullshit like if Britain got to keep Gibraltar. It's a far more "grimdark" situation than anything in 40k.
You could contrast it with how the fascists are treated in Starcraft 1. There has never been some big audience of people fantasizing about being in the penal legions of the Terran Confederacy, Terran Dominion, or UED because it is made abundantly clear that you aren't fighting and dying for some noble cause, but simply to fulfill the personal political ambitions of assholes at the top. And this is how fascism SHOULD be portrayed, but I think it gets undermined by the liberal creators thinking that people proudly believing in things is scary. So, to a liberal, a man being a blind fanatic is always scary and evil and don't understand that some people might think that being a blind fanatic in the cause of saving humanity against death, oppression or total oblivion is actually kind of awesome.
>>2908242>NTA but being happy isn't something to strive for. People don't climb mountains or swim across the English channel to be happy. Selfish narrow minded people are "happy." Happiness is temporary anyway.Both the far right and far left have this in common. Can't they just take it all out in UT3 and leave politics to happy people?
>>2908111>>2908039>>2908240The original Warhammer is about thug space super-soldiers fighting other equally evil thug super-soldiers. It also blatantly mash up of various science-fiction and fantasy influences that the writers liked. Starship Troopers, Terminator, Dune, Moorcock, Judge Dredd and 2000 AD. The “satire” of Warhammer mostly comes from things it copied from the Dredd series, such as its over the top megacities and exaggerated dystopian society. While that over the top comedic aspect has been lost, I don’t see Warhammer itself as satire. It’s just a setting for a war game. an excuse to be ultra-violent.
>>2908262But I don't see the Imperium as Fascist, because they aren't, unless you use Umberto Eco's definition. It's basically a space-feudal empire.
>>2908288Ah great, loved that vid from DreadAnon and the craziness of first edition 40k.
>>2908322Nolan is a conservatoid hack and always has been, rewatch his Batman movies if you don’t believe me
>>2908325I know. I hated those when they came out. Only Nolan movies I've ever enjoyed were the The Prestige and Memento. Yeah he sucked the soul out of Batman, dry ass boring films. So I wasn't even expecting much at all from the Odyssey but it somehow managed to be worse than I could imagine. I guess in some meta way, it had me very invested in his odyssey because I just wanted that fucker to get home so I could fucking go home already lol.
>>2908330Even as an 8 year old I saw the whole mass surveillance angle in The Dark Knight and said “they would never turn that off”
>>2908322>Just saw the Odyssey and that was maybe the worst movie I've seen in my life.Is it for the same reasons as the guys on X and the memes say it was bad?
>>2908242>Selfish narrow minded people are "happy." Happiness is temporary anyway.Somehow I feel like the goal of politics isn't a better world but just more politics for politicians. Kind of how communist revolutions keep getting taken over by the wrong kinds of people.
>>2908340>Is it for the same reasons as the guys on X and the memes say it was bad?No, if anything it inclined me to root for it. Don't care about the race swapping, or not being faithful to the original. It was just fucking terrible.
>>2908345>It was just fucking terrible.I was actually considering watching it despite the memes, just to see whether it's good on it's own.
>Don't care about the race swapping, or not being faithful to the original.I care because they're pulling the classics into the culture war and I don't really want to get involved. It's not even a right-left debate anymore, it's a mindless free-for-all.

No matter how much some GW writers and leftist fans retroactively claim that the Imperium is meant to be the bad guys, that doesn't erase the fact that the setting is fundamentally a war setting. Around 98% of the focus is on the demigod super-soldiers.So? It being a war setting with demigod super soldiers doesn't mean that chuds "have a valid claim" to it. The setting and themes of a particular nerd franchise don't mean that it has any inherent political leaning. Except if it was purposefully constructed to be that way and to say something. 40K to me just seems like crazy edgy spacewarfare taken to it's logical conclusion. Trying to give it some inherent political meaning to me seems like it's always going to be some kind of dumb projection. As in, you could spin it either way if you throw enough youtube essay buzzword slop at it

>>2908514Nolan nailed the grimy Gotham aesthetics in Begins but in TDK and TDKR, the city is literally just fucking Chicago with a blue tint.
I could pass the creative laziness but the last two films are pretty much just pro- War on Terror and anti-Occupy Wall Street KKKopaganda. Deeply conservatard trilogy of movies only saved by a couple cool action scenes and Heath Ledger's acting.
>>2908586More like grimderp
>>2908507X-Men started all that gritty realism shit and did it many times better IMO. My main gripe with the films beyond being boring and pretentious is that Bruce Wayne was completely unlikeable to me and I think Christian Bale is an amazing actor. I think if there is anything Nolan can do, writing and directing actors is definitely not one of them. Don't know why you're trying to make some genpol argument.
>>2908514I have some of the Frank Miller Batman comics. To me the definitive Batman outside of comics was the 90s TV show. Nolan had no style at all.
>>2908566> TDK and TDKR, the city is literally just fucking Chicago with a blue tint. Yes.
>I could pass the creative laziness but the last two films are pretty much just pro- War on Terror and anti-Occupy Wall Street KKKopaganda.

Ayn Rand is probably the most obvious example of a trans man historical figure I’ve ever seen.
Adopted an androgynous appearance, openly admired men and wrote nearly exclusively about male characters. Maybe if HRT existed back then we wouldn’t have gotten these shitty books.
>>2908639>penly admired men and wrote nearly exclusively about male characters. Is that really that unusual? By that logic, JK Rowling is also a transman lol.
>>2908618>>2908566I disagree about TDK’s style. TDK is basically a love letter to classic Hollywood neo-noir like Heat. Watching it in good quality, it’s a gorgeously shot movie.
>>2908642More and more people are saying this
>>2908642It’s different though. J. K. Rowling could write female characters, women pretty much only appear as coadjuvants on Ayn Rand’s books.
Her whole philosophy is very masculine too embracing individualism, entrepreneurship, strength, etc.
>>2908322It hought it was loud too.
So as we know the Odyssey is epic slop. It's old its before authors knew how to write characters and conflict. So its perfect for Nolan. The man cant write dialog for shit so this was perfect for him.
>>2908658Nolan discourse is annoying because he’s one of those creators where his work has become a lightning rod of bad nerd takes that are never about the movies themselves, but just amount to nerds constantly acting persecuted over petty gripes
>im mad about black people in movies, therefore white genocide>im mad that comic book movies aren’t constantly what I like all the time>im mad that desaturated cinematography exists, so I will pretend everything looks like this >im mad that sometimes genre fiction is realist, so I will pretend that’s all there isThe actual movies whether they’re good or bad are never actually talked about, and I’d rather listen to an honest evaluation of the movie instead of listening to hipster complaints. The man has become to Hollywood discourse what Gooseworx has become to the conversation around indie animation
>>2908692A lot of those things you just mentioned are about the movies themselves. Also there is nothing "realist" about his takes. Speaking of, that was another weird feature of his bastardization of the Odyssey, how he tried to remove the Gods from the story, and then at the end we learn the only god we saw: Athena, was just a figment of his imagination and the guilt he felt for some girl that murdered in the sack of Troy. But then at the same time he has actual magic everywhere, so what was the purpose of removing the gods to make it more "realistic?"
>>2908692The worst thing about the film was that it in no way portrayed bronze age mediterranean. It was just the same sad old christian nonsense wearing the skin of ancients.
>>2908619>Death panel indeed.>>2908619>I hate academia-slop so much dude. These people are insufferableIt's called misandry. You're emotionally blind to it.
>>2908694Except no, they’re kind of not. What it really amounts to is nerds being mad that things and trends that aren’t their taste exist, so they latch onto specific examples and get disproportionately mad about it instead of critically engaging these things on their own merits
>realismThe word has been so abused in the discourse that everybody forgets that realism in movies is inherently relative, and Nolan’s work is a pretty good example of that. The Odyssey is pointedly presenting an alternate fantastical version of Greece and deliberately using surface level realism to play it for horror and tension.
>>2908703I think you're projecting your own emotional attachment to Nolan's work.
Leftism is trооnism. If you are leftist you are a trооn.
>>2908707I find his actual work pretty hit and miss. My issue is that the discourse that I come across surrounding the man’s work really exemplifies a bigger problem with how the internet talks about art: nobody’s actually really interested in art for its own merits or lack thereof. It really feels like media literacy is just cratering these days, and the broader fandomization of culture has played a huge role - you’re no longer allowed to simply enjoy or not enjoy something. A person’s taste in media in a lot of spaces is basically a form of virtue or vice signaling.
>>2908741 (me)
Like another good example of this while we’re talking Hollywood releases is when the new Superman came out. The movie itself is fine. It’s perfectly acceptable. I probably won’t watch it again anytime soon, but it was a fun way to spend two hours. But the actual discourse that came my way basically didn’t talk about the movie at all, it was fans of different interpretations of the character making it into an extension of the culture war so they could basically just be mad that types of comic book movies they don’t like exist.
As a card-carrying insufferable filmbro it grinds my gears
>>2908757>nerd who couldn't fit into traditional masculinity was actually a trans woman all alongShocker!

>>2908972Which? The Wind Rises? I think it still is pretty sympathetic to Japan.
>Miyazaki also attracted political criticism from South Korean internet users, who argued that the Zero represents Japanese military aggression and that many planes were assembled by Korean forced labour.[63] Miyazaki told South Korean journalists that "[Horikoshi] was someone who resisted demands from the military…I wonder if he should be liable for anything just because he lived in that period."[63] In an interview with the Asahi Shimbun, Miyazaki said he had "very complex feelings" about World War II since, as a pacifist, he felt militarist Japan had acted out of "foolish arrogance". However, he also said that the Zero plane "represented one of the few things we Japanese could be proud of—[they] were a truly formidable presence, and so were the pilots who flew them".[63]https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/23/hayao-miyazaki-film-wind-rises<In an interview with the Asahi Shimbun, the 72-year-old said he had "very complex feelings" about the war, adding that militarist Japan had acted out of "foolish arrogance."
<But the Zero, he added, "represented one of the few things we Japanese could be proud of – they were a truly formidable presence, and so were the pilots who flew them".
<Miyazaki, a warplane enthusiast since childhood, insisted Horikoshi was beyond reproach.

Rather this normie left represents an embryonic form of class consciousness with organically American characteristics.

Only something so suited can be adequate to the tasks of American socialism.

>>2909347>"organic" (whatever it is that means)What I mean is that he represents an emerging political trend that has emerged entirely from actual observations of and interactions with contemporary class struggle in America, rather than being imported based on foreign theory and experiences (e.g. Maoist LARPing or whatever).
>its not just somebody is the son of the ex-president of the US, you dont get access to people like that while being "organic"That's a really vague argument that makes a lot of assumptions. We're talking about a guy that crackheads and hookers have access to. His agreeing to an interview really isn't that surprising. When it comes to Andrew himself I'm much more interested in what he actually says than projecting based on who he interviews. His rhetoric has been moving steadily to the left for years, to the point where he's openly using terms like "oppressed proletariat."

>>2909518I still like to make effort posts but I unironicaly do them on reddit now. It's just designed better and it allows me to archive stuff properly, and don't make the same post over and over again. This is also because you don't really get any interactions most of the time when you effortpost here. Stupid NAFO shit and all that gets a free pass because of some laissez-faire imageboard culture, but then mods ban you for no reason and are extremely petty. If the mods are the same who run the official /leftypol/ twitter account, I am not at all surprised.
Also, boards like /hobby/ which I used to frequent are broken and left for dead, we didn't even have a World Cup thread because admins are too lazy to fix it.
Politically, the user base has matured, less silly ideologies like Bordigism and Bookchinism which dominated old /ledtypol/. That is a good thing but it also incentivizes you to get organized because the latter are just internet ideologies and spend less time here.
However, we never degenerated like /pol/ which is now mostly populated by children and Indian bot farms.

However, when you got the China vax you were counted as "unvaxxed" in most Western countries, e.g. you were de facto an "anti-vax schizo".

>>2909612>muh mrna vaxLmao
>>2909701I only watched her clip because I don't care about whatever crusade you have against the others. she makes the point that you shouldn't try to "get fit" because that's just playing by the beauty standards set by capitalism
the obvious counterpoint to this is that for the time being, you have to go by those standards because being "fit" and "pretty" makes you more convincing and appealing to people, which is important if you want to organize a political movement. case in point, I'm pretty sure she paid more for that haircut that I paid for food last month, she knows that she has to look good to be a "credible author" and that she has to "look smart" to be a "respectable intellectual"
as I said, she's not necessarily wrong in the points she makes, but the conclusions are reductionist and incompatible with reality. it's the type of sophistry and vibe-reading that verso loves to publish
btw, you're weird for obsessing over her, you're in an even worse bucket than any of those guys
>>2909848so she basically has no point and is a bigot to boot?
>>2909872kind of, it has been around since forever
the merit of muslim algebra was representing it through a symbolic language. but the progress they made was eventually abandoned because the historical conditions for it's development weren't there. that is, algebra, and symbolic representation as a whole, wasn't that useful at the time, so there was no incentive to keep it around

>>2909694>>2908497third anon here, i can't really imagine giving a fuck about the historical accuracy of a hollywood movie. these people are scumbags and will never care about such things. the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class, and the odyssey itself is ancient propaganda from the perspective of the Aegean ruling class, and was already being told 500 years after the alleged legend took place. regarding the aesthetic philosophy of adapting such material in general… I'd say the documentary approach of maximizing historical accuracy is nice to see, but very rare, very hard to pull off, and audiences generally don't care. As long as entertainment is made for profit you are never going to get the documentary style. The style of exaggerating things, changing things, and caring more about what audiences think looks cool than historical accuracy will probably always dominate; even in the period of the renaissance, the great masters made paintings of biblical subjects standing in renaissance italian clothing, and standing around renaissance italian buildings. Why? because these were for popular consumption, and both the church and the great artists knew that biblical propaganda would "stick" better if dressed in contemporary garb.
>>2909872A particular Muslim invented Algebra. Algebra was invented by Al Khwarizmi. The Latinization of his name was Algorithmus from which we get the word "Algorithm." He wrote "The Concise Book of Calculation by Restoration and Balancing" which in Arabic is called " al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb
al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah". From the words highlighted we get "Algebra". In latin the title of the book was "Liber Algebræ et Almucabola"
The book was a compilation and extension of known rules for solving quadratic equations and for some other problems, and considered to be the foundation of algebra, establishing it as an independent discipline. Prior to Al Khwarizmi, in the "west," the approach to problems we now think of as "algebraic" were dealt with using geometrical methods.
>>2909694>There's really no reason that Helen can't be black even if you "stick to the original" because there are black characters in the Iliad and Herodotus makes a big deal about the beauty and youthfulness of the Aethiopians.There's a bit of a plurality in aesthetic and beauty to be honest.

>>2909824>>2909839>>2909840I'm feeling like 10 things right now
- it tucker unironically a psy op to make anti-zionism look stupid by associating it with cranks who think knowing basic math makes you a "goy slave?"
- to answer the question, we use letters to encapsulate variables and constants, to show that a particular approach to a problem works even when you substitute different numbers. It's used to generalize. It's basically a way of saying "substitute this letter with any number you can think of and the problem will still work". It's like when you see a socket in the wall. "plug any compatible device here and I will give that device electricity." that's the power of abstraction and encapsulation. It allowed you to make statements that are very general but also very rigorous and true.
- yes i agree math is often taught very badly by people who lack the linguistic and social skills to simplify concepts or explain them in plain english. this is because hyperspecialization makes cripples of all of us. i can go into that more if you like.
>>2909957>I'm feeling like 10 things right nowThere's a matrix and factions are dumping tons of shit into it. Sorry but the early 2000's redpill was 100% right about things before it got invaded by the rightoids

>>2910032At best its cope by fatties who don't want to feel pressure to lose weight. At worst it's pushed by medical and food porkies to get people to consume more and be more dependent on medication. The idea that capitalism requires and demands physical fitness and disciplines those who don't conform is obvious nonsense. Were there any truth to that then America wouldn't be the fattest society in human history. Capitalism needs workers to be just healthy enough to do their jobs and consume for long enough to generate profits. Beyond that capitalism is at best indifferent to health since both obesity and fitness are lifestyles that facilitate consumption of commodities. Capitalism can accommodate both. The real stupidity of the whole "the more dysgenic the better" nonsense is in thinking that revolutionary struggle doesn't require physically fit people, or that it's not something society and individuals should strive for to the best of their abilities.

Because these people can actually play with their appearance in a pretty elaborate way. Then on the other end, you have communists who want to look big and strong and masculine because that's what they think hardass Marxist-Leninists should look like according to Soviet propaganda posters. But I'll just say the Vietnamese kid who kicked my ass was skinny as hell. He hit hard though.
It's hard to look like chad if you're Asian. But my point is that appearances can be deceptive. I think people are also probably way too neurotic about image now because of social media with cameras everywhere and people trying to be influencers. It somewhat reminds me of right-wing survivalist stuff where you need to have all this stuff to make it through the apocalypse and if you look bad and act bad then people will treat you as bad. But they would just be hopeless in a really tough situation compared to a Somali girl who is only carrying a toothbrush. Also the other point I want to make is don't fuck with Vietnamese people.
>>2909606>Why are right-wing accounts suddenly nostalgic for Puddle of Mudd, one of the worst bands of the 2000s? There's a right-wing meme that Nickelback losing popularity is a psyop by the CIA to demoralize white people. I couldn't believe it at first. Like no way, this is just too stupid. But it's a real belief among a very boomer, Q-adjacent chud. It's funny too because these bands were overplayed so heavily on the radio after corporate consolidation of FM radio stations. Also the music got toned down to safe-edgy after 9/11.
>>2910207>Nickelback losing popularityI never liked this soy commercialized post-grunge bullshit. All these bands sound the same.
