>>2230281Bombing random countries is an established consensus in USania, deporting residents into prisons with no due process is a relatively new thing thoughever. Both parties realized this and how sensitive the issue is which is why all eyes are on this random deported man.
Paradoxically this very sensitive issue is also rather low stakes for everyone involved (everyone but the migrants themselves) which is why pundits from both sides are openly showing their hand here

From our november issue
https://erikhoudini.com/#post?id=977723&title=gender-wars-and-lazy-analysisWhy does someone like Fuentes have a platform at all? Who’s funding him, amplifying him, protecting him? Why are platforms so inconsistent in applying their own rules when it comes to figures like him? Who benefits from the normalization of these extremist viewpoints? These questions always circle back to class, capital, and systemic issues—which is why they're not discussed. Instead, we get gender war oversimplifications that neither stop the reactionaries nor make women safer.
By painting this misogyny as an inevitable male response, the solidarity of young men pushing back is erased. It undercuts the real story—that reactionaries are failing to win over as many as they want, despite the publicity and billionaire backing. Instead of focusing on resistance, the article inadvertently boosts the very reactionaries it condemns by overstating their cultural dominance.
>>2230475o9a extremely unlikely, the o9a is actually pretty harmless.
the people who are most likely to do some sort of coordinated attack are actually the *other* satanic group who openly dislike the o9a, satanic front.
satanic front and o9a are polar-opposites and satanic front are the ones who focus on fantasizing about schizo mass-attacks while o9a is primarily about self-discovery and psychological change.
satanic front are a very obvious fed-plot and will likely be used to scapegoat terror attacks in the future.
>>2230480This is a nice strawmen right here.
Also if adults are less chud as they age, why are most racist politics and attacks initiated by adults?
>>2230488Echoes my opinion and tbe opinions of my contacts in the army.
There's also a lot ot hubris, like hyping ourselves up and then believing all the bullshit. The gewr is ass, the conditions are ass. There's only a smaller and smaller amount of true kool aid drinkers to pull from. You dont get verbally abused for burning the fries at mcdicks, and that's the thing. When you get down to it, the army is not very well paying and is a whole lot worse to work for than a regular job.
Only way theyve been able to get their recruitment numbers up is via doubling down on recruiting 16 year olds in the worse economic zones of the country. Whole thing is ripe for agitation from within if you ask me.
>>2230476Those are the college protests and if people did mellow out with age then we wouldn't have boomer loud mouths. I see lore middle aged adults participating in political protests than young adults
>>2230486>>2230483Most people usually start out the opposite
>>2230480This is a typical paternalistic response to when kids gain opinions that don't align with yours.
Adults tend to be worse than kids with low empathy.
Who creates wars?
Who creates institutional biases in education?
>>2230503Yes, I would also like to see the 'chatlog papers' you are referencing as well. Are they verifiable in any way?
Some good sources to read up on would be the actual Order of Nine Angles books, the Deofel Quintet, and the Satanic Front handbook. Most of the ongoing lore is both in spoken word and verifiable first and second-hand accounts from people who have been involved for a long time.
The O9A is currently being used as a scapegoat organization by multiple groups, primarily by the Temple of Set and Satanic Front. If you go and read any of the actual O9A related manuscripts, you will quickly find that all the 'scary terrorist' shit is bogus and is literally people taking concepts from the O9A and warping it into something completely unrelated. I don't keep PDF files of that shit on my computer, but I implore you to give the mildest skim of the following document:
https://www.o9a.org/wp-content/uploads/guide-o9a-v2.pdf >>2230498>This is a typical paternalistic response to when kids gain opinions that don't align with yours.no i was more thinking about how kids bully each other and don't have any control over their emotions. it wasn't a generational thing but me remembering how other kids acted when I was a kid, and then remembering how a lot of those same kids were less crazy when they got older.
>Adults tend to be worse than kids with low empathy.idk take a look at a toddler and then look at the adult who patiently changes its diapers every day, teaches it to walk and talk, comforts it when it has a meltdown, etc.
>Who creates wars?I would also ask "what" creates wars, not just "who," but since you're asking and not me, I would say the ruling class creates war. You are implying that adults create wars, and that is true, but that is because children don't usually wield political power except in the most backwards political systems (think of a Absolute monarch dying and their 8 year old son ascending to the throne), and even then they are usualyl advised by a regent.
>Who creates institutional biases in education?institutional biases are an emergent property of the superstructure and base of society. In fact children get their biases from society before becoming adults. People are products of their society before their society becomes a product of them.
>>2230506George Carlin once said America loves war because it's the only thing they're good at.
But even he knows that America cannot even do war right. No modernized country is able to do war properly due to bureaucracy.
>>2230523>I would also ask "what" creates wars, not just "who," but since you're asking and not me, I would say the ruling class creates war. You are implying that adults create wars, and that is true, but that is because children don't usually wield political power except in the most backwards political systems (think of a Absolute monarch dying and their 8 year old son ascending to the throne), and even then they are usualyl advised by a regent. Then by definition kids are not low empathy. Adults are the ones who create war, whether or not they're ruling class
>>>2230525I beg to differ. Empathy is low across the board for all age groups. It's just that kids aren't respected as people. So people are less willing to not pathologise them.
>no i was more thinking about how kids bully each other and don't have any control over their emotions. it wasn't a generational thing but me remembering how other kids acted when I was a kid, and then remembering how a lot of those same kids were less crazy when they got older.I also see those same kids whom were chill as kids become irate and toxic as adults.
>idk take a look at a toddler and then look at the adult who patiently changes its diapers every day, teaches it to walk and talk, comforts it when it has a meltdown, etc.Why are you referring to children as "it"?
This is what I mean. We dehumanize kids be referring to them as "it". Yet we never do that much with even animals.
Also, adults are often impatient with kids and even each other. Adults would pay other adults to raise kids for them..
Also the same adults who are patiently changing the kids diaper would then demand the spouse to clean up the house for them.
>>2230528I understand but I think it's an overused excuse.
Because a lot of racist people I meet have encountered minorities. And they're not all sheltered nor have everything handed to them.
>>2230523
>institutional biases are an emergent property of the superstructure and base of society. In fact children get their biases from society before becoming adults. People are products of their society before their society becomes a product of them.So then,.why do we blame kids for the dark side of human nature?
If adults don't create the problems then who is responsible?
>>2230523>no i was more thinking about how kids bully each other and don't have any control over their emotions. it wasn't a generational thing but me remembering how other kids acted when I was a kid, and then remembering how a lot of those same kids were less crazy when they got older.The reason for this is because adults cannot respect the person good of little kids. Adults comicalise and downplay kids problems. Kids may be low empathy but it's not really inherently biopsychology. It's more social conditioning.
Adults treat themselves like gods, so bullying is less prominent in adulthood because adults can sue or kill each other for disrespect.
>>2230523>it wasn't a generational thing but me remembering how other kids acted when I was a kid, and then remembering how a lot of those same kids were less crazy when they got olderThose same kids either got punished or their behavior gave them trouble in the future so they learned from it. However, many adults never any of that happened and still behaves like "kids". If you go out you will notice that
>take a look at a toddler??????
>then look at the adult who patiently changes its diapers every day, teaches it to walk and talk, comforts it when it has a meltdown, etc.A toddler is absolutely useless without an adult and cannot even survive let alone have reason a lot of the time. We are not talking about a 4 year old but someone younger than that. Toddlers are not even kids.
>and even then they are usualyl advised by a regent. Which is an adult.
>People are products of their societyWhich is ran by adults. Your notion that kids are more sociopathic and have low empathy is a false one. Kids tend to be the most empathetic and idealistic group but slowly gets piled away as theh get initiated into capitalist society and told to see everyone as a competitor. They tend to get sad and confused seeing a homeless person and ask why he isnt housed. The adult responds with a societal answer to make that kid believe its ok despite leaving a bad taste.
>>2230545>A toddler is absolutely useless without an adult and cannot even survive let alone have reason a lot of the time. We are not talking about a 4 year old but someone younger than that. Toddlers are not even kids.I thought toddler was ages three to five.
>Those same kids either got punished or their behavior gave them trouble in the future so they learned from it. However, many adults never any of that happened and still behaves like "kids". If you go out you will notice thatThis. Notice how society is more reactive toward juvenile transgression vs adult transgression?
If Donald Trump was under thirty acting the way he did for the past three decades, he would get his beat.
But because he's an adult, and an adult male, and especially one that's over thirty, he's given moral allowance.
>Which is ran by adults. Your notion that kids are more sociopathic and have low empathy is a false one.

Adults often like to pathologise kids for showing faux pas behavior
"Kids are dumb"
"Kids have no empathy"
Yet, adults do the same behaviors but a hundred fold worse and more frequently because adults have rights and privileges
And remember, who is the most mocked demographic for vulnerability?
Kids.
Adults use kids as metaphors of faux pas/weakness.
Like this guy here at
>>649648 >>2230480>kids are low empathy shitheadsThe average western adult wants state mandated bullying of (young) trans people while the average female western adult wants to send "young white boys" to humiliating struggle sessions about why theyre evil for liking diddyahh media while brown adult manosphere guy say all females are whores on social media.
We have a massive growing biomass of sadistic nihilo-conservative adults whos politics are entirely about enacting their ressentiment on the younger part of the population.
The whole trans panic and the "young white male misoginy" panic is about mentally molesting the western youth, particularly the white-coded western youth, into being enslaved to their gen-X/faillenial tiger parents for eternity because err you know da brain dont develop until your 37 or something.
Nothing is more hated than young people's agency, their display of vitality and young people's morality these days, it was always like this but at least previous generations youths were plentiful enough to assert themselves, not anymore, they are demographically overpowered by the globogerontocracy.
Young uyghas cant even jack off anymore without riling up the radfem biomass and the girldad freaks. So they developed insanely weird retarded fetishes like gooning furry inflation femdo because they cant just say they want to cum in an attractive young woman anymore. Even the cultural production made by adults and aimed at them is some toxic sludge.
I feel bad for them i really do.
>>2230565No it's gonna entail hegemonic christcuck-radfem morality lectures with BASED multiracial interfaith queerbashing with only legal outlet for vitality being participating in fandom space filled with subhumans to discourse about kultureslop and which type of youth have the most problematic sexuality. Thee people voted for this.
The TFR will keep on collapsing of course.
>>2230600This. And people accuse post Millennials of being sex negative reactionaries
Millennials are even worse than boomers now with how they wanna infantilise young people so much.
Nowadays, 18-22 is the new 8-12 in terms of maturation.

>>2230955And remember, AI is not the toy that you get. The toy consists not just of models but entire toolchains themselves. For example, you won't get one such psyop AI confused, it's responses and environment and so is not just running a model. It's not a chatbot. It will have systems to curate it's answers, to make them make sense, to keep situational awareness not just of a conversation but an entire website or multi-platform community. It will be able to parse the aggregate of the media output of the place. It will be plugged into not just the target, but lots of complementary data the glow has access to about the people there, able to exploit their weaknesses without disclosing it being privy to private information.
More importantly. The AI strengths are not in articulating particular extremely compelling characters to move the masses. AI is great precisely because it's own gargantuan pattern matching capabilities and to produce "good enough" estimates. Thus, the AI, for all their claims towards the public is not something you can identify as any particular character. The AI is the large volume of irrelevant posters that nonetheless shape the discourse. It is the engine at the core of making sense of the data and how to steer the discourse( amplify an opinion, suppress another, counter or start trends…)
Do not be fooled by this idea that a sufficiently able human can tell the AI apart, like a skillful detective, academic or journalist. The AI works best in the areas where human standards are already so low as to avoid examination. You won't tell Xitter AI from Xitter human for the simple reason that the standard of posting is low enough. And such analysis would compiling data from hundreds of thousands of paper thin personas to, ironically find the patterns that AI is best at finding, that users have no access to.
Also, this should be necessary to say, but AI doesn't have to "add" to the discourse it can shape it through bourgeois control of the platforms. It doesn't need to overwhelm a feed with a particular message, it can simply set the contents of the feed because the security state has such access to the platforms. This control is why the social media platforms are here to stay and have stopped "evolving". Their worth in the old model stemmed from selling data and advertisements and monopoly rights. However now a new kind of power is emerging from the bourgeois consolidated, security state integrated, social media.The new way of looking at things benefits more from stability which allows the processing of the data (often through AI) to extract the insights that previously you had to bother the user for, leading to "Enshittification"

Porky has only themselves to blame for believing that someone 6 inches from their brain being splattered on the ground was going to retain the same mental psyche from 8 years ago
>>2230488>And yes this is first-hand experience.I noticed "leftist" burger vets are always trying to say it's just a jobs program and understate how murderous it is and say people just join up for the benefits, that poverty is the draft, etc.
Meanwhile "right" military vets actually agree with "ultraleft" US military haters: The military is a patriotic organization, they're there to defend US interests, people join to kill third worlders with impunity, people join because they're sadists who think killing is fun, plenty of impoverished people don't join and plenty of comfortable middle class people join, also gang members and shit so they can get better at gang shit
So what's the truth? What's the synthesis here? I see elements of truth in both these perspectives.

>>2231107actually gonna expound on this a little bit more: the weird sex shit has, for our intents and purposes, always been a thing. I've been into this shit for a long time and I've known people who were getting into it when the hot new thing was IRC channels and uploading your art meant using an FTP site or a self-hosted website. Some of these are still around, and they still broadly look like they did in the 90's.
What we're seeing is simply the fact that we're all being herded onto a handful of platforms and forced to interact with one another in ways we probably wouldn't have before. There's just nowhere to hide on the internet anymore. Everything gets funneled into a handful of retarded bloated websites trying to actively suck as much as they can in and blending it hard while algorithmically streamlining it to show you more than you can handle. This also gets to feeling why everything is so stiflingly oppressive: nobody has their own social space to do their own thing anymore, we are heading away from an online free space and starting to desperately need Authenticity again.

I think the mistake is to underestimate your enemy and pretend they are merely stupid even as they are driving the knife into your heart.They can be still stupid but you're right. They're on the winning side. But as we all know with current politics, hive it another decade and the progressive side will have their turn to raign doing the same shit.
>Modern war is only possible because of bureaucratic organization and regimentation. What is your vision where vast nations do war without bureaucracy? That's just chaosYou misunderstood. I don't want war, with or without bureaucracy. In just saying that even with the War On Terror, it was a fucking mess. Not unlike Vietnam.

>>2231253utterly lukewarm take that gets dredged up every couple months.
what's "telling" is the part where nobody who was in the military and became a leftist later recommends this,k and instead suggests going through milita courses instead. Besides you're not going to have access to what the military has without a military revolt, and what you get taught especially in the US is to just rely on vomiting tons of weapons at the opponent.
>>2231292Well Trump also frames "free trade" to be whatever benefits the USA. Of course they are not going to rail against the neoliberal global regime that they have worked so hard to institute through imperialism. But the next president could just say that "free trade" is when US companies face no taxes and have to abide by no regulations abroad and we'd be making the same demands.
See? Once Trump stops being behind the policies, they become common sense. The next Democrat could rail against the traitorous Europeans opposing true "free trade" and the secret cabal of puppets who only seek their own profit at the direction Chyna. And now it's perfectly reasonable non-orange-man rhetoric in the ears of every other USAno.
With the other half only demanding a more crass version of the same, with more slurs.
>>2231275Militia courses are fucking useless it's just some obese redneck larpers.
The point of infiltrating the military is that you yourself become a point of contact for other Leftists within the military, and hopefully within a decade or two can form a sizable enough faction to trigger a coup.
Of course the catch here is that the US military doctrine is already prepared against ideologues and rotates officers around frequently to avoid grunts developing loyalty to any one commander. They've done those types of coups often enough in latin america and africa to know how to avoid it at home.

Of course there's actually no plan, and it's just a dumpster fire.
>>2231316This is a graph of people who "strongly approve" which I'd view as having an intellectual or ideological commitment to it.
I'd imagine the bigger decline would be among Republicans who somewhat approve or moderately approve of free trade becoming slightly against it (or neutral) rather than Trump winning over economics nerds.

>>2231336>whether the tariffs are absorbed by foreign producers or local consumersthis is not debatable. the importer pays the tariff at the port. the exporter sells for the usual price. it's a tax on importing levied by the importing government as a way to collect revenue and dissuade importing in order to protect local industries. It's subsequently absorbed by the consumers in the importing country
unless the government also does price controls to prevent the importers from raising prices. The foreign producer does not absorb the tariff
unless they only export to one country. China obviously has a lot more bilateral trade relations than just the USA. They will simply export more to other countries. It might hurt for up to a decade but they have an administrative apparatus capable of pivoting the state to a new strategy.

>China obviously has a lot more bilateral trade relations than just the USA. They will simply export more to other countries. It might hurt for up to a decade but they have an administrative apparatus capable of pivoting the state to a new strategy.They have to make markets for their goods, because they're removing a massive one, and there simply aren't enough consumers.
This is why one is holding out for the domestic market changes.

posting this here instead of the Spectacle thread because it has escaped containment:
https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/player-one-and-main-character/>To be clear, I do not believe that Musk would casually jump off a building as if he were in a video game, confident he would respawn or wake up on his couch in base reality. That said, it’s difficult to ignore that a man who has repeatedly stated we are likely living in a simulation is making world-altering decisions with an “I wonder what that button will do” attitude. It is similarly difficult to ignore that he is behaving like a gamer who has already mastered a game, when the new curiosity becomes its glitches, the new challenge breaking it. Consider Musk walking into Twitter’s headquarters for the first time carrying a bathroom sink just to make a pun. (“Let that sink in.”) Employees about to lose their livelihoods would have been right to wonder, “Does he think this is a joke?” or “Does he think this is a game?”>I don’t believe Donald Trump literally thinks he is still on reality TV, but the man has had cameras following him around for most of his life, and he just wrapped a campaign season that was essentially a yearlong show with a $16 billion production budget. It would be understandable if the lines have blurred for the 78-year-old. That blur would make it slightly more fathomable that he could be so at ease doing “the weave” in front of reporters and Benjamin Netanyahu, improvising on the most complex geopolitical issue in modern history like a performer “trying something,” an actor who knows he can always “take it again,” that the editors can “fix it in post.”>The dangers of even a minor version of this kind of ontological misalignment are obvious and horrifying. 🍿😀

>>2231378>China sees a global recession from the tariffs, so instead of doing what it will do last tariff war it will take the 2008 route, massive interest rate cuts to unleash domestic expendituresThis is new to me and makes sense.
They might let their US bonds mature too over the next 0-5 years.
>the means through belt and road to physically build other markets This is another super cool initiative. Though it's certainly long term, and am not completely certain infrastructure projects will be enough to develop these markets. Pakistan is a great example of a complete failure on the policy level despite massive investment from the Belt and Road.

Ergot poisoning has additional symptoms that were not reported by those claiming affliction. If the poison was in the food supply, symptoms would have occurred on a house-by-house basis not in only certain individuals. Biological symptoms do not start and stop based on external cues, as described by witnesses, nor do biological symptoms start and stop simultaneously across a group of people, also as described by witnesses.
So it probably wasn't ergotism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_PaulusBeyond that recruitment of soldiers from the bourgeois states they were fighting was standard communist practice in virtually every socialist revolution. Your edginess is impressing nobody.
>>2231687the wehrmacht was drafted and had the choice between the army or the camps.
you volunteered to kill children for your own benefit.
you are not the wehrmacht, you are the SS.
>>2231687>>2231693>>2231698Not even wrong except for the use of terms like "imperial core" and
recently recruited soldiers almost always come from the proletariat. Just look at all the stories of poor German and Italian soldiers celebrating the death of Hitler and ᴉuᴉlossnW when they heard rumors of it.
>>2231695>the wehrmacht was drafted Not all of it, and the Soviets made no distinctions between volunteers and conscripts. Paulus himself was a career officer who commanded German forces during the bloodiest battle of the war, and they still saw fit to recruit him. The same goes for communists in the OG Bolsheviks and the Chinese, Cuban, Korean, Vietnamese, etc. revolutions for the obvious reason that defectors, veterans, and people with military experience are objectively extremely useful for your cause. During the Korean war the DPRK even made efforts to recruit American POWs, again making no distinction between volunteers and conscripts. Your position is based on moralism and is shared by exactly zero real world revolutionaries.
>you are not the wehrmacht, you are the SSMeaningless distinction unless you unironically believe in the clean Wehrmacht myth. Both were active participants in the holocaust and genocide of the Slavs. Also irrelevant to me because I never even left the country lmao.
>>2231662if felix were feeling less edgy today i feel like he would have typed out a longer response like

>Meaningless distinction unless you unironically believe in the clean Wehrmacht myth. Both were active participants in the holocaust and genocide of the Slavs. Also irrelevant to me because I never even left the country lmao.The fact that you never left the country is irrelevant. You would have followed whatever orders they gave you, and would have murdered Afghans for sport if given the slightest opportunity. Lots of SS never killed anyone, either. The fact remains that they were a death squad, just like the KKKlanadian Army.
I understand the distinction between Wehrmacht and SS better than you ever will, which is why I refer to your army as the SS.

>>2231734Yet you willingly joined a death squad. Curious. Almost like your "beliefs" are fluid and based on vibes.
>>2231736Plenty of people joined the SS for their own benefit and didn't kill any Jews or Slavs.
How do you think they should have been treated?
>>2231765>The Mazdakites were socially radical religious sectarians who dominated Iranian politics in the late CE 5th and early 6th Centuries.Cool
>Mazdak of Fesa, building on foundations laid by earlier heterodox religious leaders from the same part of the country, apparently taught that good and evil are everywhere randomly mixed, even in the nature of God, and that the adept who mastered the occult correspondences governing the universe had no need of outward religious formalities.Fascinating
>Mazdak advocated a social program of vegetarianism, pacifism, anti-clericalism, and utopian communism. When the Emperor Kavadh (Ghobâd), locked in struggle with the high aristocracy and perhaps seeking lower class support, converted to the new religion, Mazdak was able to start putting these theories into practice on a vast scale, opening government warehouses to the poor and closing all but three of the kingdom's Fire Temples.We're so back
>Amid rumors (not altogether improbable) that the abolition of private property and of marriage were next on Mazdak's agenda, conservative Zoroastrians rallied behind the feudal lords to overthrow Kavadh in 496. The Emperor managed to regain his throne, but increasingly distanced himself from the Mazdakites and in 528 Crown Prince Chosroes launched a pogrom to eliminate them entirely. Among those killed in the massacres were Mazdak himself and Kavadh's first-born son, whom the Emperor declined to protect.It's so over
>In remote areas, however, Mazdakism lingered for centuries, eventually becoming hard to distinguish from Central Asian Buddhism which it had always in some ways resembled. Later Islamic writers often use "Mazdakite" (like "Manichee") as simply a generic word for "heretic".It's neither over nor are we back
>>2231746That is literally the opposite of what I've said, and I'm not sure if I should even be surprised that none of you know how to read, given what you all "believe."
>>2231749It's not my advice, it's Joe Slovo's advice. I'm sure you would have called him an adventurist too.
>The Campaign of Sabotage: The sabotage campaign of the early 60s served a special purpose and was never advanced as a technique which would on its own lead to the destruction of the State or even do it serious material damage. Its purpose was to lay the foundation tor higher forms of military activity of the guerrilla type. There was the need 10 create an experienced professional military apparatus which would form the core of future guerrilla forces; the need to demonstrate that the movement was making a sharp and open break with the processes of the previousperiod which had correctly given emphasis 10 militant struggle short of armed confrontation; and the need to provide an effective method for the overthrow of white supremacy through planned rather than spontaneous activity.

>>2231776Joe Slovo died in the 1990s and was an active writer up until almost the very day of his death.
His accomplishments are vast, his leadership helped liberate half a continent of people. The only reason why he's not venerated alongside the ancient theorists you all jack off to is internalized racism making you automatically overlook everything that happened in Africa.
>>2231788>>2231789You say that like it actually means something. I bet he also secretly holds the position that the Taliban are more sympathetic than his junta now that history has dictated that it was overthrown. That must mean he is a leftist??
>>2231779Keynesian economics is already in practice in all bourgeois countries
>>2231800It's a shame that the fall of the USSR denied the SACP the chance to finish the revolution.
South Africa DESPERATELY needs land reform and all the thugs and killers of the regime are still out there, living their best lives as rich old men in warm beds.
Still, this shouldn't take away from the accomplishments of Slovo and MK. They liberated half the continent, but they couldn't save the world from the grip of American imperialism.
>>2231806Everywhere. BidenomiKKKs was keynesian in every sense. The theory of the British economist J.M. KEYNES (1883- 1946) which he set forth in his book A General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936) became widespread among bourgeois economists.
Concealing the true causes of permanent mass unemployment and crises under capitalism, Keynes tries to show that these "flaws" of bourgeois society arise not from the nature of capitalism but from the psychology of individuals. According to Keynes, unemployment results from insufficient demand for articles of personal and productive use. The inadequacy of consumer demand is caused by the inherent tendency which people have to save part of their income, and the inadequacy of demand for articles of productive use is due to the capitalists' loss of interest in investing their capital in the various branches of the economy because of the general fall in the "profitability of capital". In order to increase employment, Keynes declares, it is necessary to increase the investment of capital, and to this end the State must, on the one hand, ensure a growth in the profitability of capital by reducing the real wages of the workers through inflation and reduction of the bank rate, and, on the other hand, carry out large-scale capital investment at public expense. The extension of consumer demand, according to Keynes, may come from a further growth in the parasitic consumption and extravagance of the ruling classes and an increase in expenditure for war purposes and other unproductive outlays by the State.
Keynes' theory is unsound. The inadequacy of consumer demand is due not to any mythical "inclination of people to save" but to the impoverishment of the working people. The measures proposed by Keynes allegedly in the interests of securing full employment–inflation, increase in unproductive, expenditure on preparing and carrying on wars–lead in reality to a further reduction in the standard of living of the working people, to shrinkage of the market and increase in unemployment. The theory of Keynes in one variety or another is widely made use of nowadays by bourgeois economists and also by right-wing Socialists in a number of capitalist countries.
>>2231809Wrong. Ive suffered through the horrors of keynesian policy. We've seen all its mechanisms
>>2231842Wrong. Neoliberalism is dead. Lenin taught us that the bourgeois state only becomes more important as capitalism develop. The crises and routine interventions and swelling of state budget demonstrates the triumph of keneysian economiKKK over neoliberal economiKKK.
https://jacobin.com/2025/04/trump-protectionism-neoliberalism-trade-globalismJacobin explains, but it is self evident
>>2231874This. Neoliberalism is retarded, no way modern economy is feasible without direct intervention of capitalist state. In fact, it's not keneysian economiKKK that caused the crisis, but it's because keneysian economiKKK is not radical enough! We needs MOAR STATE MANAGEMENT of the economie. The lesson of 90s USSR, the bankruptcy of Neoliberalism against the Great Depression, all pointed to the actual reality that we don't have too much state intervention, but too little of state intervention. If allow me to rule, the first laws I will present to the Parliament is to BAN /biz/ and /gacha/, fuck them all.
Eventually, the state is overburdened with the actual management of economy, and lacking the funds for the actual role of statecraft, that's for actual oppression of society, kekeke…

>>2231956>>2231961The black community in the USA has the highest racial solidarity, for every Uncle Tom or rational man who see's past race 10 more donated to Antony.
I'm gonna drop a brutal
TRVKE on who is actually in the right
321Metcalf deserved to die and Antony deserves to go to prison!1. Metcalf was a generic Chad piece of shit cracker jock.
He died because his retarded "Good ol' boys" Southern raised cracker whiter than white ass was taught to politely remind people of their place.
As a New Yorker, you are meant to walk by people being violently raped and killed and not bat an eye or call the police.
Rule number 1 of survival:
It is not your problem!Metcalf dumb Chad cracker he is, thought he could politely remind Antony that he was in the wrong spot. Antony wasn't a bully he was just out of time and raised by boomers who still think you can smile at people, say good morning and go, "Excuse me sir." without being stabbed.
In the end not minding his fucking business got him rightfully killed.
Nothing of value was lost, petit bourgeoisie, Chad cracker piece of shit who would have just settled down with a Becky because Stacy is now Gigachad only life gone in a flash, it was probably a better end, had he lived he would have wasted it doing nothing.
2. Antony is blatantly a violent knuckle dragging chimpanzee.
He 100% probably did just kill Metcalf over being told he was in the wrong seat.
His friends all remember him being in fights beforehand, not for being a regular guy, just for being in fights.
He posted a photo on social media holding a gun.
He was 100% a low inhibition, violent thug, and no it is not racist to say that, that's just what he was.
Another case of a dumb milquetoast 90s liberal good manners cracker being taken out by an easy to aggravate kid with mental issues because they don't realize that good manners to one person=insult to another. It's like tips, good manners are a spook that vary from nation to nation and a tip in the USA is an insult in other parts of the world.
One got the Darwin Award he deserved, the other will either pay bond yet again, or get guilty charges and be sent to prison.
Both of them deserve it.
Fuck Chad and fuck Tyrone. They need to start taking each other out more often.
>>2231973I wouldn't call it a flashpoint more like boiling over.
If you look at my truthnuke post above you can see that it has to do with whites being enraged that their Protestant petit bourgeois cultural hegemon of their very static idea of good manners and how to behave is being viewed as condescending and microaggressive by pessimist prole blacks.
This kind of stuff has been going on for years. It's just bubbling over because blacks gradually distinguished themselves from white behavior which no longer is acceptable in their communities, this decolonizing effort has the backfiring that
1. Violence is a virtue to them without organization.
2. Condescending "order and rules being politely upheld" by whites is viewed as an attack and insult.
I doubt it will be a race war thought it might deepen the ever growing rift between the black population of the USA and whites as both sides realize they don't really operate on the same mentality, but a race war not yet.
>>2231979Metcalf also started it because he couldn't mind his own business and began trying to point out school rules as per petit bourgeois protestant 90s liberal "manners" which was likely seen as an offensive gesture by Antony. Whatever escalated it further began there and then Antony ended it by stabbing him.
Like I said this stuff does not happen without economic and geopolitical material conditions fueling it beforehand.
Metcalf was a naïve white idiot, Antony was an on edge angry black man. A tale as old as time or as old as 300 years or however long.
>>2231971Man this is gonna sound incredibly naive but it seemed like race relations were way better when I was a kid. Yeah it might be seeing the past through rose tinted glasses but it seemed like there was some genuine belief we were moving past racism.
I blame the social scientists, mostly. I dunno if it was arrogance or what, but they wanted everyone thinking about race constantly and, well, they got their wish. Congrats.
>>2231991No because the NBA will win the case for being a corporation.
You need to be in a public space like a US public school, with rules set in place that no one uncool follows and then goad the white, yes white, let's be real only whites do this, boy telling you to move to fuck off and hope he fighrs back THEN stab him.
Then it's a 50-50.
trum admin is now claiming they ACCIDENTALLY asked harvard to enact affirmative action for republicans
Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard
>Harvard University received an emailed letter from the Trump administration last Friday that included a series of demands about hiring, admissions and curriculum so onerous that school officials decided they had no choice but to take on the White House.
>The April 11 letter from the White House’s task force on antisemitism, this official told Harvard, should not have been sent and was “unauthorized,” two people familiar with the matter said.
>It is unclear what prompted the letter to be sent last Friday. Its content was authentic, the three people said, but there were differing accounts inside the administration of how it had been mishandled. Some people at the White House believed it had been sent prematurely, according to the three people, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about internal discussions. Others in the administration thought it had been meant to be circulated among the task force members rather than sent to Harvard.
>After Harvard publicly repudiated the demands, the Trump administration raised the pressure, freezing billions in federal funding to the school and warning that its tax-exempt status was in jeopardy.
>A senior White House official said the administration stood by the letter, calling the university’s decision to publicly rebuff the administration overblown and blaming Harvard for not continuing discussions.
>“It was malpractice on the side of Harvard’s lawyers not to pick up the phone and call the members of the antisemitism task force who they had been talking to for weeks,” said May Mailman, the White House senior policy strategist. “Instead, Harvard went on a victimhood campaign.”

<Why can't we all just get along?So anyways the song is a race war fantasy where the riots weren't kettled to the areas where the city didn't care. A race war where anyone can get it. "Creepin into the little white huts," out in the suburbs.
