Am I the only one who thinks Maupin needs to update his book with discussion on?:
>the Tesla burnings
>the Pennsylvania governor’s house being arsoned
>the shooting of the two Israeli embassy workers in DC
>the Minnesota school shooting
>the recent shooting death of Charlie Kirk
Seems like this is a good opportunity since it furthers his argument that an American Years of Lead are already here.
nothing ever happens
>>2470732You’re free to tell him this in the comments of the video you posted.
Maupin should release the sex tape
Who carees what doc mop says
Guys the term American Years of Lead © is a trademark of Center for Political Innovation LLC
I'm seeing it used here a lot lately without the due credit given to its creator, the Journalist, Political Analyst, Writer, Author, Innovationist, American Patriot, Dr. Pastor Caleb T. Maupin prophet of God. keep this in mind thanks.
>>2470883>bring a communist>upholding intellectual propertyNo.
>>2470870That would go hard as a sticker.
>>2471159What a fucking tool.
Is this a color revolution?
American Years of Lead sounds based af.
What about the Hohol refugee getting killed on the train in North Carolina? Does that count?
>>2471159this imbecile has clearly never read Capital and has no clue on the difference between money capital and actual produced goods
how can someone talk in such a way about topics they have no understanding on without immediately dying from embarresment?
>>2470732The Manhattan shooter as well, the former football player who killed a slumlord.
>>2470732Maupin is so boring. I listen to these videos when I need help falling asleep.
>>2471239He's just a reactionary whose job is to spoil communism "from the inside."
Same with Spaz Al Din who said "revolutionaries are conservative" and Whackson Stinkhole who said "communists don't want to abolish private property"
>>2471159this is true. under communism everyone will be a billionaire.
>>2471159Maupin denies climate change. Not surprised.
>>2470732A Years of Lead might be the only thing that finally wakes up the American left.
>>2473096seen several larpers already posting unfunny referential humor memes like this one and right after saying how scared they are of trump persecuting them. you cant have your cake and eat it too
>Whackson Stinkhole
Who?
>>2470732>>2471736Most boring “Years of Lead” ever.
>>2473093there is no American 'left'
>>2476099It has gotten so retarded here of course it must be. The ruling class is only interested in ratcheting up the contradictions, they can't do anything else.
>>2472347i mean but i understand haz's appeal a little bit, for people who want some sort of economic re-organization but still allow themselves to be massive chauvinist in any other regard, but what does maupin offer to anyone, really
>>24741481. Latino.
2. The Afro-Japanese Hawai'ian that created the situation in NYC must be one of /pol/ worst nightmares. Also, he wanted to kill people at an NFL office, but got to the wrong floor and ended up killing bankers. He complained that playing gridiron football caused him brain damage and possibly his lack of orientation during the shooting vindicated that.
3. Italian. I hope at some point a shooter named Mario will emerge. That would be epic.
4. ??? Who's that? He looks like Hellraiser, tbh. Can't tell anything except he's white.
>>24742025. The guy who proved Charlie wrong seems to be of Anglo descent.
So, basically, this shooter thing proves that inter-ethnic solidarity is possible.
>>2476148I guess Caleb comes off as almost affable and not abrasive, especially if compared to Haz or actually many other political influencers. But the facade crumbled three years ago with glorious SPANKGATE and he proved to be an insufferable narcissist. I haven't followed him since, but apparently he set up his Centre for Political Innovation again.
>>2476533too much to read on the Kirk thread
can a kind soul summarise the shooter's 'iDeOlOgY' and motives please?
>>2476537Some people say that he is a lefty, the others claim that he is a Nick Fuentes fan.
>>2476544Аll adventurists are the same ideology - liberal.
>>2476544All the revolutionary terrorists of the early 20s would disagree.
As I learn about this guy, there’s a lot of debate about “radicalization” but frankly there doesn’t appear to be much radical politics here. Or any radicalization. College drop out, lives in a suburban hellscape, plays a lot of videogames, reads imageboards, uses discord. I dunno just seems like a Zoomer. My conclusion is that many people are out there ready to basically do something for the lulz and I suspect this is widely understood by exactly the people participating in the discourse around it. Pretty normal levels of alienation leading to spectacular attacks just to see the reaction.
>>2476757the deprgoam reddit got shut down
do you think he was a hakim fan?
>>2476771No, REddit just does that.
More like years of bread amirite?
Get it? cuz carbs make you fat? ok ban me pls.
>>2476757Someone on twitter was saying that police interviews were saying he killed him for not being conservstive enough. I guess it's still too early to really know what's happening.
>>2476788America is filled with tupid people who can't tell the difference between communism and groyperism.
>>2476788why would he put antifascist anthem of the italian partisans if he was extreme right, that makes no sense
>>2476099>1890s>1910swhat a retard, it was the 1900s with the SR assassination campaign that we have something like an assassination spree. those other decades are irrelevant.
>>2476842We live in an age where context is overtly ignored and "irony" allows the recapitulation of just about anything for any reason.
>>2476892Still him saying “catch fascist” doesn’t seem like a groyper thing, unless this was specifically an attempt to frame the left.
>>2476689>many people are out there ready to basically do something for the lulz and I suspect this is widely understood by exactly the people participating in the discourse around it. Pretty normal levels of alienation leading to spectacular attacks just to see the reaction.<"…The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth—it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_SimulationLate capitalism is nihilist, its a a death cult where human life has no value. Its a tragedy that these killers become Jokerfied instead of finding a way out of their alienation by envisioning a third option for some utopian productive ideal beyond Blood Meridian settler culture
>The alienating, atomizing nature of today’s internet landscape has been credited as a major radicalizing force, but what is unique about the internet is not the degree of radicalization it cultivates, but rather the level of abstraction of that radicalism. For lone wolf ISIS or incel terrorists, the organic community they profess their allegiance to is immaterial compared to those of radical movements of yesteryears; the German Nazis who carried out anti-semitic violence on Kristallnacht at least lived among an “Aryan” race (even if the contours of this race was an ideological fiction), the socialist revolutionaries in 1918 still had a real connection to the Worker Councils and the labor movement (even if that movement lead to the establishment of a Social Democratic Republic, rather than direct rule by the Councils). Modern day violent radicals, who have grown up in the information age, have no such connection. What is the community of betas and virgins to the incel? There is no such community. What is the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to the ISIS terrorist or supporter in the West? Nothing but a faraway symbolic fantasy. Not even a fantasy with a material representation in their lives … It used to be the case that violent, radical movements had the end goal of either influencing policy or taking state power themselves. Totally atomized radicalism throws such assumptions on their heads. Without intimate personal relations, and concrete goal-directed organized form, traditional methods of social control break down. Material carrots and sticks lose their value along with the dearness of life itself. Suicidal violence projected outwards is a threat that states are not, and cannot, be prepared for. It’s the only kind of violence that can fully actualize the possibility of a war of “all against all,” which was previously only hinted at in the threat of civil war.https://www.palladiummag.com/2020/03/09/do-you-feel-lonely/
>The effective disappearance (or non-appearance) of organized terrorism has gone hand-in-hand with the rise, above all in the U.S., of dramatic attempted or successful assassinations or indiscriminate public mass-murders committed by individuals usually acting alone: mad bombers such as Timothy McVeigh and Ted Kaczynski, and too many public shooters and vehicle murderers to cite by name.
>These individuals typically have a reputation for anti-social tendencies, often leave behind a manifesto or other evidence of radical political convictions and motivations of some sort, and sometimes have degrees of peripheral involvement with some political community, but act on their own initiative. These lone-wolf attacks comprise a form of terrorism and can’t be dismissed as so many senseless criminal acts committed by demented loners—but nor do they qualify as political action in the conventional sense of social action carried out collectively.
>What all this points to are cultural sensibilities that increasingly place private resort to lethal violence, and terrorism in particular, so far beyond the pale of conscionable political action as to make it the province of individuals so anomic and anti-social as to be incapable of collective action, lacking either the desire or the wherewithal in social skills, and in any case not numerous enough, to connect with like-minded others and get organized.
>Very few people will take to terrorism under present conditions. When they do, it must assume the character of an incontrovertibly and self-consciously deranged and depraved war against society and humanity in general fought by career criminals who radicalize in the demi-monde in and around prison, or wholly asocial and self-radicalized lone wolves—a prophecy already fulfilled in the now-familiar figures of disgruntled school shooters and guys who drive vans into pedestrians. These attacks arguably represent the final form of domestic terrorism, as private violence is increasingly pushed far into the margins of social life.
>The sensationalist publicity and moral panics that attend these incidents overshadows how rare they are. There can be no doubt that the decline of religious and family ties and values, and the corresponding increase in social isolation, alienation, and anomie, together with the demise of quasi-legitimate forms of interpersonal violence has inflated the incidence of these occurrences. But again, the growth potential is self-limiting in that political violence has truly fearsome growth potential to the extent that it is a form of social action carried out by people who are normal and don’t see themselves as sociopathic misanthropes, but on the contrary are motivated by heroic altruism—a quality that the anomic, alienated, and maladjusted loner lacks by definition.
>Most well-socialized people will answer the call of duty and take lives while exposing their own when instructed to do so by legitimate superiors; a varying number will take it upon themselves to fight as irregulars in such a cause when it appears lost but not hopelessly so; but infinitesimally few will resort to what their own laws and morals define as murder, and least of all to murder of a degree far more heinous than those that occur in the course of ordinary gangland disputes and romantic triangles. The last point applies no matter the extent of alienation and anomie. Alienation and anomie are only relative risk factors for what, in absolute terms, is among the rarest of rare aberrations even in these populations, indeed even in the subsets of criminal offenders within them.https://www.palladiummag.com/2018/11/16/mass-political-violence-wont-happen-in-america/ >>2476672Unbelievable he was clout martyred by a fucking groyper of all things.
>>2478867That wasn't confirmed to be him. Also
who. cares. >>2478872For these brainbroken people it's evidence that Kirk was killed by the pedophile globalists for not shutting up about the Epstein files. I guess.
>>2476099For a country that flaunts 2A, shouldn't every year be an american year of lead?
>>2478464I didnt even hear about the elias whoever thing
>>2479148It should and would be based but most people in this country are huge cucks. I include myself but I think most of us are either authority worshipers and I think the best armed element is the most, cowards or just completely fucked in one way or another either mentally, economically ,socially or whatever. Maybe the coming years will change that but I don't know
>>2478867>mormon kids jack off to cublol
>>2479219In Wyoming they don't give a shit. That proves something I heard many years ago: they don't have electricity yet so news take days or even weeks before they reach Wyoming.
>>2479568The former governor of Arkansas and pretend husband of Hilary Rodham getting spectacularly kidnapped and then executed by the Red Guards Austin or whatever those supposed maoists showing up with guns at demos are called. He would pen a memory while in captivity about everything that went on with Jeffrey Epstein, the real inner workings of the DNC, the shit he did in the eighties for the CIA and the contras and, most important of all, all the truth about his lovely virago of a wife. Those pages will misteriously emerge more a decade later the events while a safe house of the captors would be searched by the feds. Yet, doubts about the integrity and the authenticity of the document will be a thing and many conspiracy theories will appear.
The alternative would be Obama, but he would drove the kidnappers to desperation with his vapid yet slick rhetorical abilities and they would simply let him walk away to stop listening to him.
>>2478464Who shot who in DC again?!
>>2477028Isn't the "catch fascist" part of some Helldivers catchphrase?
>>2478464Lel, was she banned for this?
>>2479568Hopefully, anarchist comrades kidnapping and [REDACTED] Lila Rose or some Catholic influencer similar to her.
>>2479940Yeah. In HD you're a fascist soldier fighting for "Super Democracy" against the "fascist insects" your government processes into fuel, the "communist cyborgs" it exploits for labor, and the alien Illuminate that they stole hyperspace technology from and are trying to eradicate for being technologically superior.
>>2479940>>2480132this whole debacle is so fucking soy god damn
>>2479203I don’t oppose what Luigi did at all, but you can’t really deny that the media’s glamourization of him did a lot to inspire the copycats listed here.
Does anyone have a PDF of Caleb’s American Years of Lead book they’d be willing to upload on Catbox?
>>2480195Maupin needs to bite the bullet and become a Calvinist preacher already.
the problem is that to my knowledge there’s no organized class warfare organizations right now most are individuals doing these things
>>2480195>antifa are the real fascistst Maupin
how original
>>2480274because the second you get an org going the CIA sends and MKULTRA schizo to school shoot your chapters up
>>2479219I take it the people in DC who are frantically googling "Years of Lead" are three-letter agency agents?
>>2480514When did amazon call centers do daily news?
>>2478872>who. cares.gay.
there no proof but still u gay
>>2481542He’s going to be released in the next few days due to lack of evidence. Just wait.
>>2481562then hes going to be hit by a bus
>>2481562yep - he has given no police confession and will plead not guilty. #freetyler
>>2481591So there are potentially two Isekai opening sequences to come of this incident is what you're saying?
Who will be the next target?
>>2482419Maybe Hasan or Mamdani
>>2482423ben's the one who put out the hit
>>2479203Interesting how none of these acts triggered a mass revolution like anarkids 120 years ago would claim.
>>2480518>I take it the people in DC who are frantically googling "Years of Lead" are three-letter agency agents?Yeah they see people saying "Years of Lead" and think they're
declaring an armed struggle campaign.
I think the jurry will fail to convict Tyler Robinson, because of how many Americans believe in stupid conspiracy theories that he isn't the real shooter. On X I have seen rightoids argue that the following were the real shooter.
>Israel
>Groypers
>Jackson Hinkle and ACP
>CIA
>Lizzard people
I have never seen the American information space this jammed with stupid skitzo shit, but it might end up saving Tyler's life.
>>2486629>Jackson Hinkle and ACPThis is by far the funniest possible outcome
>>2486629Most normies don’t care about this shit or even know these theories though since the feds were extremely suspicious with the messages he sent to his boyfriend that might save him
>>2486629tyler is a patsy but is not the real shooter
the story just doesnt add up
if the official narrative was on film it would be accused of having plot holes or employing a deus ex machina
>>2486660he literally hasnt confessed or co-operated with police. he's smart keeping his mouth shut.
>>2486651
Kek
>>2486665I'm not knowledgeable in burger law but with how they are completely fumbling the investigation and muddying the waters even more by doing some insane political recuperation I'm thinking it may not be a bad strategy to just wait until they fuck things up enough for this case to mistrial. This guy becoming free like that would be the funniest shit ever.

>>2479203This proves why insurrectionism and adventurism fail.

>>2470732>Random scotastic terrorism happens sometimesThe reason the Years of Lead or The Troubles were a big deal was that those events involved constant terrorist attacks, militia fighting in the streets, and international influence in terrorist groups. This is just Americans sperging out. Nothing ever happens.
>>2486649I guess Jackson went completely mad after Miss Russia 2022 left him. I mean, who wouldn't have some form of withdrawal after being dump by such a piece of stunning poonani? He went psycho, he started planning high profile assassinations et voila. I guess this version also provides a Russian angle and that would make libs and never-trumper republicans happy. The only sure thing is that Haz is not involved in any way. First, he only loves to talk and talk and talk, but not actually do anything. Second, if he was involved, he would have said something at some point maybe even inadvertedly during a stream.
>>2490674>>2491591I don't know inheritance law in Arizona, but if CK died without a will, I guess she and their children are the sole heirs of the entire estate. I don't know how things are divided by default, but even in that case she would manage the children's parts as their sole guardian until they reach majority. Basically this razzledazzle, regardless of who's behind it and who actually did it, made her a millionaire. The only threat to that would be BS who quickly declared his intention to buy off CK's business, and I imagine he also has some strange, talmudically inspired goal to also take her a second wife or a concubine in some sort of "Solomonic" kind of thing. A white, blonde, self-professed "Christian" woman would be a huge flex for Benny.
>>2480472A friendly reminder that one of the originators - if not the absolute OG - of the
le antifascists are le real fascists is the notorious paedophile and self-declared intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini. While he was basically a millionaire living in a luxury flat in central Rome, constantly appearing on state television to pontificate about whatever he wanted and being regarded as some kind of genius with an insight and an intellectual level almost no one else had ever had, he loved to spend a lot of time in the poorest, seediest and most quesionable neighbourhoods of the city where he had ample opportunity to mingle with teenage boys. One night he happened to be more disgusting than usual with one of this underage kids while on his expensive sport car. After finishing his business, he got out of the car for a moment to take a piss. The boy took advantage of this to start the car and run him over repeatedly, killing him.
Fun thing is actual fascists repeatedly attacked him and insulted him publicly - he was publicly known to be gay, yet I'm not sure if his paedophile proclivity for teenage boys was known or at least discussed publicly. Back then, leftwing militants had to organise
security services to ensure demonstrations were not disrupted by fascists and infiltrators and also to guard any place connected with parties, clubs, unions, organisations of every kind, because they could be attacked by armed fascists basically at any moment. Every once in a while, some bug got roughed up or even killed, but I don't see the problem, considering they murdered hundreds of people all across the seventies and many of them went unpunished. Yet, that great mind thought the bad ones were the one simply defending themselves.
Exclusive: The ICE Shooter’s Politicshttps://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-shooters-motive?
>On the off-chance the shooting wasn’t what it looked like, I reached out to people who knew the gunman, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. Three who knew him since at least middle school agreed to speak to me on the condition that I not name them, corroborating their friendship with photos and other records. Their accounts paint the picture of someone with a vaguely libertarian bent who despised both major parties and politicians generally (including Trump) but who didn’t engage with politics beyond that. He preferred edgy humor, video games and the message board 4chan, all of which he became increasingly steeped in as he withdrew from social life as well as their own friendships several years ago, they said.
>None of his former friends believed that the “ANTI-ICE” inscription could possibly be sincere, feeling such a serious political statement was anathema to who Jahn was. His humor was deeply ironic, often offensive and aggressive to the point of alienation.
>“He was most certainly an edgelord, an irony guy,” one friend said. (Edgelord is online-speak for someone who likes to espouse edgy, nihilistic views). Asked about the inscription on the bullet, the friend said: “Josh was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed. I think he tried his best to write something goofy … to rile people up.”
>Another friend showed me a Facebook post describing how Jahn had flooded his friends’ comment sections with rape jokes — “playful shock humor,” the friend said.
>Jahn’s profile on the gaming platform Steam showed the vast amounts of time he spent playing video games, particularly shooters: more than 6,000 hours on Rust, 3,000 on Team Fortress 2, and 1,000 on Left 4 Dead 2. (He even found time to play three and a half hours in the past two weeks, the account shows.)
>Among the dozen or so usernames he used was one reading “#Impeachment.” When I asked if this wasn’t a clear reference to anti-Trump politics, his friends recoiled at the idea that he would express opposition to Trump so sincerely and straightforwardly. Instead they saw it as part of his broader ironic persona, poking fun at anti-Trump “resistance” types.
>That said, one friend recalled that when Trump first came to power, Jahn “was not a fan” — though he had contempt for mainstream politicians in general. His friends say he had more of a libertarian bent, with one recalling an interest in the libertarian figure Ron Paul.
>Still, the friend who recounted Jahn’s dislike of Trump insisted that there was at least a kernel of seriousness to the username.
>“If it was ironic, it’s that half irony — where you’re half-kidding, half-serious, just in case,” he said.
>“He was never really into politics, especially not politicians,” said another friend, who had known Jahn since age 8. “He was into politics only in the 4chan sense — contrarian, provocative, boundary-pushing for laughs, not conviction.”
>4chan, the anonymous message board where provocation and irony are the coin of the realm, was apparently one of Jahn’s favorite haunts. His abrasive humor is where his friends’ opinions on him diverge the most, with some describing it as amusing but others as grating — especially as his online persona bled into real life.
>“I mostly stopped talking to him when he took his 4chan/irony stuff into daily interactions,” one friend told me. “He was becoming unbearable … once he dropped out of college he had no obligation to be social and none of us reached out due to his edgelord behavior.”
>I wasn’t able to find anyone with insight into Jahn’s more recent views, something that his friends said was unsurprising given his withdrawal from social life over the past few years.
>“If you’re having trouble finding people besides immediate family who knew him, that’s part of the story,” one friend said. “Every mutual friend drifted away over that kind of edgelord behavior.” >>2496207Yeah this is non political political violence, if you could still get headlines and infamy for doing it to schoolchildren or moviegoers he would’ve gone for them. The path to infamy now is going after “important” people like media personalities and the government.
>>2494333Looks like a turbo autist.
>>2496207most surprising thing is that this guy used facebook in the year 20 plus 25
>>2496207The reason people try so desperately to look for definitive straightforward explanations for these kinds of incidents instead of trying to examine the situation more deeply is because they desperately want to believe that the problem is not systemic but just an isolated random mishap, that it's just one guy who went crazy and killed people and not the entire fabric of society falling apart. But society doesn't break down because of the bad people in it, the criminals, the psychos, the obviously immoral people; society breaks down when the good people, the average decent everyday people who are supposed to know better, think that they can also be immoral. Because when those kinds of people think that it's okay to override the rules, then it makes it easier for other people to think that they too can override the rules, and the entire structure begins to break down.
>>2499654>>2499658We don’t even know if this attack is politically-motivated.
>>2512441Problem, liberal?
>>2512649max loves saying shit
>>2511912Critical support to mossad I guess
>>2511912mossad was used for jobs that the cia didn't want to directly be involved in.
>>2511912>Israel funding ultra-leftistsEvery. Fucking. Time.
Wouldn't be surprised if Israel has been pimping J Sakai's Settlers for years, to discredit any chance of a socialist movement in America.
>>2512728Why would it be discrediting? Is there anything leftists generally disagree with in the book?
>>2512798It claims white proletariat has less revolutionary potential because they are "settlers". It's racial essentialism.
>>2512728>>2512810I'm glad we cleared that up and think Israel's proletariat has the same revolutionary potential as the Palestinian one now.
>>2512853USA is not a settler state. It used to be, but that time is long gone, its done.
>>2512853there is no palestinian proletariat, they are either without any job at all or subsistence farmers
>>2512858Plus they've been terrible at carrying out revolution.
>>2512856So if Israel manages to destroy any Palestinian resistance, and loads of Palestinians get mass deported, Israelis now become "indigenous" given that they no longer need a war machine to preserve their control of the land?
>>2511912Italy is also spearheading the protection of aid convoys to Gaza. Coincidence?????
>>2512853Prove America is a settler nation.
>>2512890There are millions of Palestinian refugees who still hold the keys to the homes they were expelled from in 1948. How many Native Americans hold any remainders of the homes they were kicked out of? Americans are fully settled and are as "indigenous" to America as the Natives.
>>2512896are you having a stroke?
>>2512898Most of those homes have since been destroyed and most of the original “Nakba survivors” will be dead by next decade.
>>2479203The thing about terrorism is that it isn't worth the trouble. It never results in what people want it to do. Oftentimes, it does the opposite of the intent. You want to change people's minds about something, put away the bombs, and buy a newspaper. Or whatever the equivalent of a newspaper will be when they all go out of business.
