what a blast from the past >>2499817>>2499818https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi
>Bacha bazi[1] (Persian[a]: بچه بازی, lit. 'boy play') refers to a pederastic practice in Afghanistan and in historical Turkestan, in which men exploit and enslave adolescent boys sometimes for sexual abuse, and/or coerce them to cross-dress in attire traditionally only worn by women and girls.[6] The man exploiting the young boy is called a bacha baz (literally "boy player").[3] Typically, the bacha baz forces the bacha (young boy) to dress in women's clothing and dance for entertainment.[3][7]
>Often, the boys come from an impoverished and vulnerable situation such as street children, mainly without relatives or abducted from their families.[3][8][9] In some cases, families facing extreme poverty or starvation may feel compelled to sell their young sons to a bacha baz or allow them to be "adopted" in exchange for food or money.[3] The bachas are obliged to serve their patrons and their wishes, through cross-dressing and sexual entertainment. However, the patrons' options are not limited, as they often had recruited bachas for daily tasks in war,[10][page needed] and for becoming bodyguards.[b] Facing social stigma and sexual abuse, the young boys, who often despise their captors, struggle with psychological effects from the abuse[11] and suffer from emotional trauma for life, including turning to drugs and alcohol.[3]
>Bacha bazi was outlawed during the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan period.[9][12][13] Nevertheless, it was widely practiced. Force and coercion were common, and security officials of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan stated they were unable to end such practices and that many of the men involved in bacha bazi were powerful and well-armed warlords.[14][15][16] The laws were seldom enforced against powerful offenders, and police had reportedly been complicit in related crimes.[17][18] While bacha bazi carried the death penalty,[19] the boys were sometimes charged rather than the perpetrators.[8] The practice carries the death penalty under Taliban law.[19] Despite the official ban, the practice continues, although some scholars argue that since the mid-2010s, the practice has gradually begun to recede from the view of the public and is increasingly subject to condemnation in places like Kabul.[10] >>2499821It's kind of funny how the early Christians were basically Jews that were split over the issue of whether to still care about the old testament laws. The ones who didn't became the Pauline Christians that eventually became Nicene and split into Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants. The ones who weren't were basically Hebrew Christians that stayed in the East, and that eventually evolved nto Islam. Muhammad was born to Eastern Christians who still practiced some variety of Hebrew dietary practices.
So something like Mormonism was inevitable. Christianity keeps splitting. Now you have Q-Anon Christianity which will probably evolve into a cult centered around Charlie Kirk or some shit.
>>2499836everyone uses chinese weapons because they are easily available in the black market
also
>top grade>look inside>small arms >>2499842>America, Italy, and Germany sell the vast majority of weapons to Israel, in addition to giving them logistical support, intelligence, and free stuff<umm, yeah, but china maintains trade relations with israel for non-military commoditiesI've said this about 100 times before.
China should stop trading with israel. But I have no control over them or proximity to them.
Let's look at
material conditions.Stop pretending what China does is the same as or, more laughably, worse than, what America does. America sold 665 million dollars of weapons (mostly high yield explosives) to Israel in 2023. China sold 2 million dollars of weapons, mostly unassembled pistol parts and knives destined for the civilian market. The worst thing China sells to Israel is commercial drones that can be retrofitted for military use. Ignoring the qualitative difference already laid out, the quantitative difference is literally a factor of 332.5. America sells in a given year about 332.5 times more weapons to Israel than China does. And that's ignoring the logistical support, intelligence, and the nature of the weapons. To flatten these real material differences is childish, especially when you are in the country whose government constitutes the biggest pillar of zionist support. Ultras love flattening these real material difference and turning everything into a binary. To the ultra, anyone who sells anything to Israel is equally bad, regardless of the real material differences in what is being sold, how much, and whether there are other forms of support to Israel. People ought to grasp the large and let go of the small when constructing a hierarchy of priorities. The biggest mistake being made is to prioritize the things you can't fight (China's trade policy) versus the things you can fight (your own government's foreign policy). The only means you have, as an American, of fighting China, is mediated by your government. To fight China therefore is to serve your government. To fight your own government however, is to erode the main pillar of zionist support during an ongoing genocide. Your top priority therefore, should be fighting your own government, using tactics both within and outside the confines of the law.
Ultras will make excuses.
>>2499864China could collapse Israel in a month if they wanted to simply by ceasing all operations at the Chinese-operated Haifa port (they have literal remote kill switches in the cranes).
They don't do it because they like Israeli Shekels too much. Simple as. Stop making excuses for capitulation to Zionists.
>>2499881You're responding to what you think the post is saying and not what it actually says. I even made it easy for you by highlighting the part you wanted to hear in red. But apparently that doesn't matter. One of the very first things I said is China should stop trading with Israel. I completely conceded that point but you are acting like I am defending that because I am telling you, a burger, that you should prioritize fighting your own government who provides the bulk of MILITARY support to Israel. My god you people are dense and love missing the point on purpsoe over and over.

Like you said they are always ignoring material conditions and squishing everything into a false dilemma: does it pass my purity test or not? In 2-10 years they will no doubt put on a US military uniform to go kill Chinese, rationalizing it, because the Chinese sell too many labubus to Israel or whatever, and America is actually existing maga communism.

The Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to review whether President Donald Trump's attempt to limit birthright citizenship in the United States is legal, a move that could alter longstanding interpretation of the U.S. Constitution on the subject.
On Sept. 26, the Justice Department appealed lower court rulings that blocked an executive order Trump signed on his first day back in office in January.

Anon literally said China should stop trading with Israel in bold red, very high up in the post you're too afraid to read or respond honestly to, and went onto say it's important however to recognize that the main military support for Israel comes from America and that it's important to not ignore the real differences. Do you disagree?
Since you didn't say otherwise, I assume that means will prioritize fighting the US government that you actually live under, rather than thousands of mils from, who constitutes the main MILITARY support for the zionist regime, right? Or will you keep reproducing "muh molotov ribbentrop" cope for the modern age by complaining about China trading commodities with Israel while the West provides the main pillar of military support, weapons sales, diplomatic enabling, intelligence, etc?
Am I getting that right? You won't respond honestly. You'll just keep repeating short platitudes that don't address anything being said. Nobody is saying China is off the hook for selling shit to Israel. They are saying it should not be an American's top priority to seethe about China when America and NATO countries are the unrivaled central pillar of support for the zionist apartheid state. You are patently dishonest and afraid to even READ for two minutes.

>>2499968There is leftist once that wrote like this saying the holcoaust was simply a class struggle and had zero to do with antisemitism lol
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_or_the_great_alibi
>Auschwitz or the great alibi" (French: Auschwitz ou le grand alibi) is a 1960 article published in Programme communiste, the French magazine of the International Communist Party (ICP), later reedited in the form of a brochure. The authorship of this text has been attributed to both Amadeo Bordiga and Martin Axelrad. However, the Programme communiste was a Bordigist (edited by disciples of Amadeo Bordiga) revue, publishing its texts anonymously in order to emphasize its character of a collective work.[1][2]
>According to the author, or authors, of this article, the Nazis did not exterminate the Jews because they were Jews, but because they were an important group within the petite bourgeoisie, a social class condemned to disappear by the concentration of capital; and antisemitism in its modern form developed within that same petite bourgeoisie in an attempt to preserve itself as a class by sacrificing a particular part of itself. Concentrated German capital interests, when confronted with the economic crisis, it is claimed, saw this development as a windfall: "It could liquidate part of its petite bourgeoisie with the consent of the petite bourgeoisie, or even better, have the petite bourgeoisie itself take charge of this liquidation". Thus, according to the author(s), antisemitism was determined by socioeconomic conditions:
>Under horrible economic pressure, menaced by a diffuse destruction that made the very existence of its members uncertain, the petite bourgeoisie reacted with sacrificing part of itself, expecting in this way to save its other members. Thus, antisemitism did not originate in any "machiavellian plan" or "perverse ideas": It was a direct result of economic constraint. Hatred of the Jews, far from being the a priori reason for their destruction, was but the expression of a desire to delimit and concentrate the destruction on them.
>The article refers to Adolf Eichmann's offer to "sell a million Jews" as related by the American relief worker Joel Brand to support the claim that the Nazis at first tried to get rid of the Jewish population by expelling them and that no other countries were prepared to receive them as these other countries were confronted with the same problems concerning their petite bourgeoisie. As the war aggravated the whole situation, the concentrated capital forces of Germany ended up organising the extermination of the Jews.
>The phrase "Auschwitz or the great alibi" refers to the more specific claim that after the war the Holocaust was made use of in order to demobilize the working class as part of a propaganda effort establishing a belief that the "antifascist democracies" were of an entirely different nature from fascism, making the working class forget, by being exposed to the relics of the extermination, that these were in fact the outcome of the same logic of capitalism that they themselves also were obeying. In this perspective, the exhortations to fight fascism in the name of democracy were in fact a lure destined to make the proletariat forget that their true enemy is and continues to be the capitalist system: It is in this sense that "Nazi barbarism" would be the "great alibi" of the capitalist democracies.https://www.marxists.org/subject/jewish/bordiga/auschwitz.htm >>2499962>You got caught claiming we said Amerikkka was betterWhere did I say that. If you think I am the original anon in this post:
>>2499864 you're wrong. But that anon wasn't even saying you think america is better. that anon was saying that too many people pretend that all countries who maintain a relationship with israel are enabling the genocide equally. That is obviously not the case when America provides the bulk of intelligence, logistical support, free stuff, and weapons trade. China trades with israel more in terms of pure commodities, but America is selling way more weapons, namely explosives, and they are saying you shouldn't be reductive and go after the large before going after the small. especially if you're american. are you american? do you priortize defeating your own government and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat in your own nation before going on a crusade against far away countries at the same time as your government is manufacturing consent against them? It's such as simple question but you keep answering it with "shut the fuck up dengoid."
Literally anon said "china should stop trading with israel" in red bold text but you just cry "i can't read and you're a dengoid and I'm afraid to answer any real questions."

>>2499980<At that same time all our good democratic anti-fascists threw themselves on the corpses of the Jews. And since that time they wave them under the nose of the proletariat. In order to make them feel capitalism’s infamy? No, on the contrary. It’s to make it appreciate, in contrast, the true democracy, the true progress, the well being it enjoys in capitalist society. The horrors of capitalist death must make the proletariat forget the horrors of capitalist life and the fact that the two are indissolubly connected. The experiments of the SS doctors must make them forget that capitalism experiments on a large scale with carcinogenic products, on the effects of alcoholism on heredity, the radioactivity of “democratic” bombs. If they show lampshades made of human skin it’s to make us forget that capitalism transforms the living man into a lampshade. The mountains of hair, the teeth of gold, the bodies of men turned into merchandise must make us forget that capitalism made a merchandise of living man. It is labor, man’s very life, that capitalism has transformed into merchandise. This is the source of all evils. Using the corpses of the victims of capital to try to hide the reality, to have the corpses serve as protection for capital, is the most despicable way of using them to the ultimate degree. >>2500005This is stupid because people just changed how they consume media. There's nothing inherently more intellectual about reading a physical book vs reading a website.
Yes, people don't really read books much, but that's because the world evolved. If you're interested in a topic that isn't biographical or fiction there's not much you can get from a single book that you can't get from a google search or wikipedia. Or at least, that's how it was before AI ruined everything.
Just a reminder the same people who complain about the "decline of reading" subscribe to NYT and bought Kamala's post-loss memoir. They aren't actually any more intelligent than the folks they're complaining about.
>>2499980I'm willing to entertain the idea. I wish I could find the leftcom essay I read years ago about the economic dimension of the holocaust.
Tbh antisemitism alone was never a good explanation for me. It seems akin to when people say that Trump got elected because of racism or sexism or whatever, or the crusades were about religion.
And it seems like we're seeing similar economic activities now in the US as economic crisis deepens and the haute bourgeois cannibalize the petite bourgeois, though obviously they're not herding them into camps, yet.

They are afraid of bringing down England, they are afraid because they know that with it, the whole capitalist system will collapse. […] I still hope that Hitler will not renounce the struggle, and will go all the way, to the extreme consequences.<The great and authentic revolutionaries of the world are two: ᴉuᴉlossnW and Hitler. But ᴉuᴉlossnW's past shows that Il Duce has always been against the plutocracy and against the democracies, which paralyze the life of nations.>Stalin, allying himself with London and Washington, has betrayed the cause of the proletariat. Moreover, I can say that on this I agree with Il Duce, when he says, as he did in his speech from last November, that if there is a man who desperately wanted the war, who first prepared it and then instigated it, it is the American president. From my point of view, however, I clarify that Roosevelt is nothing but the exponent of supercapitalism that aims at the conquest of a totalitarian imperialism. >>2500044Bordiga has the same hairstyle as Cockshott

Zelenskyy says ‘mega deal’ in works for US arms purchases
The package under discussion is estimated to be worth $90 billion, according to media reports
Ukrainian officials will visit the U.S. later this month or in October for technical talks on the arms purchases and a separate drone-production deal, Zelenskyy said.
Separately, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko will meet with officials in the U.S. next month on potential American projects in Ukraine as a part of the joint investment fund agreed on last spring, Bloomberg reported
https://www.politico.eu/article/zelenskyy-says-mega-deal-in-works-for-us-arms-purchases/The Ukrainian leader also said that an Israeli Patriot system has been in use in Ukraine for a month. He added that Kyiv will receive two more new systems in the coming months, without saying who would provide those systems. "An Israeli complex has been operating in Ukraine for a month. We will get two Patriot systems in the autumn," Zelenskyy said.

President Donald Trump on Sunday morning invoked federal law to take control of the Oregon National Guard, court documents show. Oregon sued to block the move Sunday afternoon.
“Earlier today, the Secretary of Defense sent a memo to Governor Tina Kotek authorizing 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to perform federal functions for 60 days, including protecting federal property ‘where protests are occurring or likely to occur,’” the governor’s office said in a news release.
The state moved to block the move in court hours later. In documents filed Sunday afternoon in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Oregon argues that the President lacks authority under Title 10 of the United States Code to federalize the National Guard. Oregon says the law only allows for the federalization of the guard in circumstances of invasion, rebellion, or when federal laws cannot otherwise be executed
“None of those circumstances exist in Oregon,” the state says.
The state will seek a temporary restraining order to pause the actions of the president and subordinates, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a news briefing Sunday afternoon. He said the state hopes to be in front of a judge within days.
Trump said Saturday he had authorized a U.S. military mission to protect “War ravaged” Portland, a move local leaders immediately condemned as an egregious abuse of power.
https://www.wweek.com/news/2025/09/28/trump-assumes-control-of-the-oregon-national-guard-oregon-suesThe war on Iran seeks “US global dominance” and to “weaken China”, said Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, General Mike Flynn.

>>2500039President Trump plans to attend an unusual gathering of U.S. generals and admirals at a military base in Virginia on Tuesday, an event coming at a moment when Mr. Trump has pushed for a new kind of war-fighter culture at the Pentagon.
It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Trump planned to give a formal address to the hundreds of military leaders from around the world at the base at Quantico, Va., or whether his remarks would be made public. The Washington Post reported earlier on the president’s attendance.
But for Mr. Trump, who has long favored images of himself surrounded by military leaders, such a setting may prove irresistible.
“It’s really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we’re doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a lot of good, positive things.” Mr. Trump told NBC News in a phone call on Sunday. “It’s just a good message,”
“We have some great people coming in and it’s just an ‘esprit de corps,’” Mr. Trump said. “You know the expression ‘esprit de corps’? That’s all it’s about. We’re talking about what we’re doing, what they’re doing and how we’re doing.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who summoned the generals and admirals, is expected to speak about grooming and fitness requirements, and other aspects of what he calls a shift toward a “warrior ethos” at the Pentagon.
Few details about the event have been disclosed, not even to the officers expected to attend. The secrecy has sparked alarm at a time when Mr. Trump is accelerating military action against drug trafficking boats that he says are coming from Venezuela, as well as deploying the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and Memphis for law-enforcement purposes and using troops to guard federal facilities.

Bloomberg) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to hold a crucial White House meeting with US President Donald Trump on Monday amid assertions from Washington that an ambitious plan to end the war in Gaza is nearly complete.
The meeting — the fourth between the two allies since Trump took office in January — comes after the US leader shared a 21-point proposal aimed at concluding the Israel-Hamas conflict with other regional heads in New York last week.
“We have a real chance for greatness in the Middle East,” Trump said on his Truth Social account on Sunday. “All are on board for something special, first time ever. We will get it done.”
Trump’s claims don’t always pan out, and both Israel and Hamas say they need to study the plan. On Friday, a senior Israeli official told US editors in a background briefing that only after the Monday meeting would Israel comment. Hamas said it’s not yet seen the plan.
Among those engaged in designing the Gaza peace plan are former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/netanyahu-meet-trump-us-intensifies-211154041.htmlThe California State University system is now under investigation by the Trump administration over allegations of antisemitism.
The probe by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was revealed in an email sent by chancellor Mildred Garcia to the Cal State community on Friday. The Los Angeles Times first reported on the email.
"[T]he EEOC has begun direct outreach to some faculty and staff members across the system to review allegations of antisemitism and to speak with them about their experiences on campus," the email reads.
Garcia went on to state that Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has alleged that the Cal State system, among other universities across the nation, of "racial discrimination" over their links to a private nonprofit called PhD Project, an organization with the "goal of diversifying business education and the corporate workforce."
The Cal State L.A. campus was the site of a pro-Palestinian encampment in the spring of 2024, during a wave of protests over the war in Gaza
The union. which represents some 29,000 faculty members, has asked CSU to not comply with the subpoena until it can review its content.
The Cal State investigation comes on the heels of similar probes targeting the UC system, USC, and other higher education institutions in the state

Donald Trump has issued his latest challenge to test corporate America’s fealty to his administration. On Friday, the President decided to wade into the personnel decision of Microsoft and called for the company to fire its President of Global Affairs, Lisa Monaco, over her previous work under the Obama and Biden administrations—a warning shot fired apparently at the advice of far-right activist Laura Loomer.
Why the President issuing opinions on an employee who doesn’t even appear on Microsoft’s leadership team page? It appears that it’s because Laura Loomer got in his ear again. Back in July, Loomer took aim at Monaco, tying her to Microsoft’s decision to use engineers in China to help provide tech support to the Defense Department. The connections take some red string and corkboard to make, but Loomer went ahead and connected the dots.
On Friday, she took credit for the President following suit and calling for Microsoft to dismiss Monaco. “After I alerted President Trump to the fact that Microsoft has hired Lisa Monaco to be their new President of Global Affairs, he has just called on Microsoft to terminate her employment,” she wrote on X. (For what it’s worth, Monaco was hired in May, and Loomer didn’t mention her until July, so apparently it takes a while for her alerts to get to Trump’s desk.)
In the post, she also tagged Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and asked, “Are you going to comply?” which certainly has some echoes of Federal Communications Commission head Brendan Carr telling ABC, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way” in regards to punishing Jimmy Kimmel over a monologue that conservatives didn’t like. It sure feels like an attempt to compel corporations to capitulate to the wishes of the administration—though, at least in Loomer’s case, she doesn’t have any formal power.

Democrats and Republicans alike, we value and cherish your support, and there is an active effort to erode it. That effort to besiege Israel, not merely isolate it, that effort is supported by the same forces that supported Iran: Iran's effort to put a military siege on us and ultimately choke us… We were able to break loose from that siege. And we will have to do several things to break loose from
this siege that is organized by a few states, one is China, and the other is Qatar. They are organizing an attack on Israel's legitimacy in the social media of the Western world and the United States." - Benjamin Netanyahu
>>2500068>>2500079>under a non-capitalist system, the overwhelming majority of gun violence will simply go away as people are lifted out of poverty, removed from their alienation, given access to healthcare and community.This is simply untrue. China still has (semi-frequent) mass stabbing sprees even without access to guns because some people just can't behave themselves in a society even if you give them everything.
I'm against gun control because I don't trust the american government specifically, but in my socialist utopia only rural people should have guns. There's just not really a reason to walk around with a gun in your pocket in day to day life if you don't feel your life is under threat.
>>2500113>Usernet forums died and anonymous image boards remain for a reason bro.I mean if you want to go that route it's imageboards that are dying while "usernet forums" are thriving in the form of reddit.
>Most of us don't like having a name attached to your every post. You're just speaking for yourself, not "us." In any event I said there should be a separate board for it specifically.
>If you want to make friends or build yourself a reputation go on social media or Reddit.Yeah, I'm craving popularity on a forum with less than 500 people on it, by advocating for another niche sideboard on a website with a bunch of other dead, niche sideboards.
Tbh it seems more like you're the one worried about your popularity if people get to know you by reputation.
>>2500133>Perhaps there's a reason imageboards died, because anonymous posting just gives people an excuse to say the most extreme possible thing for (you)sI think that's a factor, yeah. After a certain point discussion on 4chan basically died when posting became about upsetting people for attention rather than actually arguing.
Which isn't to say that getting rid of anonymous posting would fix leftypol, but I think the problems that 4chan and every other imageboard have continue here as well, to the detriment of the site and the users, and it doesn't seem like there's any interest in fixing them.
>>2500153It is kind of incredible that they're allowing this to happen. Part of me wonders if it's a goldeuygh situation. The zionists may buy tiktok, but changing it in it ways they want is just going to poison it as a platform. They want to make it a zionist propaganda outlet, but what good will that do them if everyone just drops it for some other app because it's a little cia agent in your pocket now?
Or maybe they just don't care and business is business.
President Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview Sunday with NBC News, accused former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray of “inappropriate” behavior during his tenure and said that he “would think” that the Justice Department is investigating him.
“I would imagine. I would certainly imagine. I would think they are doing that,” Trump said during a phone call when asked whether the Justice Department should investigate Wray.
Trump accused the former director of wrongdoing in the interview, telling NBC News that Wray, who resigned at the end of the Biden administration, “did a terrible job and we just found out about it.”
Trump also spoke about directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to send troops to Oregon and that he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary” to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in “War ravaged Portland.”
“They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place. … It looks, like, terrible,” Trump said. “Can’t have that in an American city. But this has been going on for a long time. This has been going on for years, actually.”
Though on Sunday the president stopped short of committing to send in troops, telling NBC News that “we’ll make a decision on that pretty soon.”
He also promised federal operations in Chicago, something he’s been floating for weeks.
“Chicago is a mess. It’s a crime-ridden mess,” the president said, adding later, “Any place where there is big trouble, we want to go and help out.”
Trump also referenced what he called a “successful” operation in Washington, D.C., where the federal government surged federal law enforcement officers and National Guard troops in August.
“Look at Washington, D.C., it’s doing so beautifully now. Everybody is so happy. This was a crime-ridden mess, absolute crime-ridden mess, and look at it now, it’s so successful,” he said.
Trump and congressional leaders are also facing a looming deadline to avoid a government shutdown on Wednesday, if Democrats and Republicans don’t agree on a continuing resolution.
On Sunday, Trump said that a shutdown is “a possibility.”
Last week, the Trump administration laid the groundwork to permanently lay off mass numbers of federal workers that would normally be temporarily furloughed for the length of a government shutdown.
“We are going to cut a lot of the people that, you know, we’re able to cut, if there is [a shutdown],” the president said Sunday. “We’re able to cut on a permanent basis and we will be doing that. I’d rather not do that.”
“The problem we have with the shutdown is that Democrats want to do all healthcare for illegal immigrants,” Trump said. “We’re not going to do that.”
The president also spoke about an upcoming meeting he has planned on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, telling NBC News that he’s optimistic a deal can be reached to end the war in Gaza.
“We’re doing very well. It looks like there is a really good chance for peace in the Middle East. Everybody is on board. Everybody,” Trump said
So far, no one has revealed the details of a potential peace deal between Hamas and Israel, but Vice President JD Vance on Sunday told Fox News that he was “cautiously hopeful” that both sides could reach a deal.
“But I think the President’s optimism is warranted here. I feel more optimistic about where we are right now than where we have been at any point in the last few months, but let’s be realistic, these things can get derailed at the very last minute. So while I remain very hopeful, I am cautiously hopeful,” Vance said.

>>2500172Why would the Chinese care? They'll sell Tiktok and then all the zoomoids will move to RedNote or whatever and they'll sell that one too and keep making money off US taxpayers' desperation to prop up zionism.
Forgive me for sounding like a liberal but, people gravitate to platforms that allow them to say the things they want to say. They use Tiktok BECAUSE it is free of CIA control. When that changes, they'll seek out somewhere else to post their anti-Zionist takes because they need these platforms as an outlet when they aren't allowed to say this stuff irl.
We're gonna have a genuine dark woke enlightenment from all the pent up young people that just wanna scream at conservatives for ruining everything and hop from platform to platform to avoid the Mossad censors.
>>25001514chan's primary problem was just not moderating spam and letting troll farms control the narrative. The admins/mods actively let it happen. You can't go on any board without every discussion devolving into /pol/. There's starting to be some pushback against that shit now, but at its peak during Trump's 1st term it was so fucking bad how blatantly astroturfed the entire site was.
I don't think anonymity is the problem but you would need to hire a ton more moderators to remove low quality content and not allow them to editorialize just because a single moderator does 90% of the work and happens to be a nazi.

>>2500198I should say I'm a big PT Anderson fan. I think I often don't like this or that with his films, but I think he's the best American auteur director of modern times along with Charlie Kaufman. I'm not so hot on Cohen Bros and Tarantino.
I thought the movie was pretty good. I thought their was some stuff I think he could've done plot wise to add a little more depth. It seems like their was a little more human connection moments missing between the leads as opposed to just comedic and thriller action scenes. Leo and his daughter only have like 3 scenes together total in the film actually. Most of the runtime is just thriller scenes, no real slow down and connect kind of scenes for the leads. It was pretty great tho. I think No Country For Old Men was maybe my favorite Cohen movie because the thriller plotting kept everything on track storywise.

>>2500234publicly it's probably because verifying the identity, consent, and age of every porn image is impossible and you're opening yourself up to the glowies spamming cp and then raiding you when you run a leftist board that allows porn.
the non-public reason is leftists don't really agree on anything, not even whether porn is good or bad, and it's just easier to avoid the topic altogether than have 5 daily complaints from angry lost tumblrites that a picture of a naked woman triggered them.

He says in this video if he had to choose between mandani and Cuomo he sure as fuck would not vote for Cuomo. But that also he is not a socialist.
>>2500303America has an major isolation problem caused by car dependency, poor urban planning, segregation, travel costs, and the general toxic influences of capitalist society.

idk why the left is so adverse to just being like "yeah we killed him, Tyler Robinson was based"
every mealy mouth pundit has to cry tears for a literal white supremacist, Hasan out here writing eulogies and shit because he knows that it's all for the paycheck at the end of the day. Debating ghouls like Kirk only platforms their views, Kirk deserved to die and I'm glad he did.
It used to be, if you start talking about revolutionary politics, you knew your life was on the line for doing so. Now you have a whole generation of grifters making millions off working class donations and they do not want things to get real.
The chickens are coming home to roost. Peace means peace for the oppressor, fuck peace. I want liberation.
"Don't give them a reason!" I keep hearing from others who clearly belong in the cuck chair. They don't need a reason, 1800 people are missing, they were in a concentration camp, alligator Alcatraz, you do the math. But I guess they don't matter, because who gives a fuck about poor brown people being disappeared when there's podcast money to be made?
The whole spectacle makes me sick. These people stand for nothing but will tell you everything you want to hear. Not a single one of these people even have a bail fund. I'm sick of them. Sick of the grift, sick of the youtuber class. Sick of whatever these Austinite fucks have to say.
"We had to seal off the room, there's black mold coming in from the roof leak the landlord won't fix, so now the kids are sleeping in the living room", real story I heard the other day from someone making 22k a year as a teacher. None of these media grifters can relate to that, nor could they even conceptualize the type of organizational work that has to be done to fix this type of problem.
>>2500313So then what about in the places in America with good public transit like NYC or Chicago or wherever?
The other anon is right, the culture in America is all fucked up.
>>2500297It's so many layers of fucked up I could write an essay but maybe to get to a general point that sums it up, I think the nature of the liberal cultural industry, no culture can remain "counter-culture" without being co-opted and subsumed by the greater bourgeois culture. Rebellion is just another brand identity. Also Americans are deeply unserious people as evidenced by the discussion about porn and our leftist discussion forum going on ITT simultaneously as this discussion.
>>2500330>So then what about in the places in America with good public transit like NYC or Chicago or wherever? The average person is being priced out of those places. More than half of Americans live in the suburbs.
https://washingtondc.jhu.edu/news/three-facts-about-americas-changing-suburbs/https://www.census.gov/library/video/2020/how-do-households-describe-where-they-live.htmlAnd that can afford it tend to be locked in their own work loops.
>>2499848Yeah I've noticed this. I mean, look at the Trump administration. Most actions thy have taken have little to no justification based in reality.
Trumpists are completely insane and I have no idea what to do about them.
>>2500356all circus no bread
>>2500355did you see his speech at the UN?
>>2500352I used to believe that the idea of a professional revolutionary was inherently disconnected from the working class, creating a class of PMC types that manage everything. (Think: High ranking members of the DSA.)
But, there's an alternative path for the professional revolutionary. No material possessions and the ability to survive on minimal to no funding means you can essentially do anything and go anywhere, assuming you can get the funding to do so. Most professional organizers live much, much better than the working class (think: Second Thought), this creates an inherent disconnection, while also removing any level of actual stakes, and in fact can often be counterrevolutionary.
The alternative model sees the professional revolutionary living among the lowest end of the masses, working under the table jobs, getting by on just cash and the occasional donation. Lumpenization. Any issues the professional revolutionary is then dealing with or discussing are the same issues as the working class.
>>2500351>Unlike the US, China never wanted to be the World Police. Have you ever thought that maybe that's the actual problem?
>The Arab nations need to band together against the US and Israel. Lol never happening, the arab league are already dogs of the US and Israel.
>>2500365No I think it's really telling and kinda fucked out we immediately started platforming this absolutely no-proof narrative that he was actually a righ winger!
The inability of the left to understand that armed struggle is what a revolution actually is, is due to the spectacle directors. Your favorite streamer is not a revolutionary.
>>2500371We are the only platform I know that said anything positive about this dude.
—
Tyler Robinson is a hero of the people. There can be no room for debate with the oppressor class. While the president calls for a national day of mourning, Israel kills thousands in Gaza. Why is the life of one white supremacist worth more than half a million Palestinians? Because Charlie Kirk and the oppressor class make good money advocating for the killing. You know what's really, especially pathetic to me? Streamers like Hasan, who spend hours disavowing the radical actions of the people. Why does the media class of the 'left' always come out in lockstep when these actions happen? It's because they are from the same class. To someone like Hasan, the harm that the oppressor does is abstract, he mourns Charlie Kirk because to him, these debates, this media spectacle, is ultimately for a profit motive. To the media class, the harm of a disrupted status quo is immediate and terrifying. Hasan sits in his studio, a palace built on the crumbs of the very system he claims to critique, and his primary function is not to radicalize but to manage radical energy. To channel justified rage into safe, non-disruptive, and ultimately profitable avenues: donations, subscriptions, merch.
This is the ultimate betrayal, to watch a supposed ally, a self-appointed leader of the people mourn this disgusting white supremacist Charlie Kirk. "I was going to debate him in a month!" he screeches, knowing that a line of profit has been silenced. These cats all play with the same ball of yarn, at the expense of the working class. It is the role of the comprador intellectual, the leftist who has been granted a seat at the table on the condition that he explains to the masses why they cannot overturn it. When a Tyler Robinson acts, he makes their comfortable position untenable. He shatters the myth they so carefully cultivate: that change can be won through debate-club performances and voting guides. That the violence the system inflicts upon the working class is the only acceptable form of He exposes their analysis as a parlor game.
The media left, the streamer left, the PMC class, they are not allies. They are the shock absorbers for the system. Their condemnation is not based on a strategic disagreement; it is a class instinct. They must, at all costs, protect the property relations that afford them their platform and their privilege. To them, the death of a white supremacist is a greater sin than a bombed child in Rafah. A disrupted speech is a more visceral threat than a vaporized family.
They speak of "violence" and "optics" because their world is made of images and discourse. They do not live in the world of material consequences, of bulldozed homes and embargoed medicine. Tyler Robinson did not attack people; he attacked the machinery of genocide. He attacked the profit motive. And that is the one sin the professional-managerial class cannot forgive.
The oppressor class hates Tyler Robinson because he was effective. He moved beyond their controlled reformism and struck at the material base of their power, a voice of unfettered hate has been silence, not by debate, not by the ballet, but from where political power really grows, with the barrel of a gun. And the left-media class disavows him because they know, in their gut, that their entire existence is predicated on the premise that such actions are "unthinkable." They must make an example of him to prove their own loyalty to the very system they purport to oppose.
Tyler Robinson is a hero of the people, and the time has come to ask the most essential of questions: "Which side are you on?" Our supposed allies have already answered, and they have chose fast profits and media clout over revolutionary struggle, and for this? We the people cannot forgive.

>>2500367they want to outsource every American job to china, including the job of overthrowing the US bourgeoisie and stopping Israel's US-backed genocide

>but the genocideyour government is the main pillar of support for it
>>2500405I don't expect AmeriKKKa to act in any way different than how they act now, it would be like expecting a tiger to be vegan.
I do however, expect a self-proclaimed communist party to show solidarity towards victims of genocide specially when there's so much they could do to alleviate their situation.
>>2500357No I didn't see it, what was the jist of it?
>>2500379It's almost hilarious how rightoids claim to abhor political violence despite having a worldview entirely predicated on it.
There is just no logical consistency in their views. They are the real Orwellians. You may dislike the term but it is the only accurate description.
>>2500439also, streaming requires near constant attention, you need to be online 12 or more hours a day. How would that possibly be conductive to being an IRL organizer? There are discussions I have nearly daily offline that I simply would never discuss online, because ultimately the online aspects of organizing are merely a tool to bolster your ability to organize IRL. I only care about funding insofar as we have to be able to support more professional revolutionaries, more people who spend the majority of their time engaged with the struggle. The funding needed for this is actually much lower than you'd think. One person can live off less than 2 grand a month, and even then the majority of the cost is just in housing. Remove the housing problem (ie a safehouse network, couch surfing, collectively owned housing) and the cost to maintain a single professional revolutionary drops to less than 500 dollars a month.
I am far more interested in getting this community pantry project off the ground IRL, than I am interested in modeling myself after counter revolutionaries who are "in their bag on this socialism shit". Second thought makes around 90k a month. That's great and I'm sure he's eating well, but a revolutionary he is not.
It's not about the bag, its about the infrastructure we are building.
Anyone who wants to stream and be part of the collective fine, but I am not the collective nor do I really care about debating counterrevolutionaries for clout.
>>2500327Rightiods post this fantasy shit while at the same time crying about the male loneliness epidemic. This pic has no source but from my anecdotal experience it’s bullshit. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a bunch of bitter rightiod men being created by make loneliness epidemic due to the lack of 3rd spaces, a crumbling economy, and dying eco-system. They’re heralding themselves as the solution to the problem they created.
>>2500375Calling Tyler a Hero doesn’t make sense cause he didn’t do it. It’s pretty obvious he’s a patsy and Charlie Kirk is a sacrificial lamb to try and rally the right. Thank fuck it was such a sloppy fucking job it’s obvious the Kirk shooting is rightiod long knight of knives. They’re all trying to purge each other before liquidating the U.S into whatever stupid bullshit they come up with. Hyper corporate-Catholic burger mega fascism or whatever. Tyler is a victim of his chud dad that was prolly paid off with an autographed MAGA hat, likely algorithmic sourced by plantiar from trump mailing list as the most likely to do so.

I need feedback on this fundraiser text before it goes live:
HOUDINI as a collective is assisting a trans woman in moving from Arkansas to a safe location in Philadelphia, and we cannot do it without the support of our audience.
HOUDINI as a collective has grown significantly. Over 200 people are in the official Discord. We average 20k weekly readers for our magazine, and over 750,000 unique visitors. We could never have grown like this without the support of our audience. HOUDINI is 100% audience funded; our money comes from donations, the occasional t-shirt sale, and our monthly magazine releases. Our resources are persistently stretched thin, yet we continue to maximize what we can do with so very little. It turns out you can do a whole lot with some gumption, group effort, and a vision. We've proved that, and we'll continue to prove that.
Our goal with this fundraising effort is to enter the big leagues; these are the material actions we want to be taking, the liberation we want to be pushing. This is our first actual fundraiser to support someone materially, and we hope it will be far from the last.
The HOUDINI collective currently supports one full-time organizer (me) who makes a bit less than minimum wage after all is said and done. This fundraising effort is designed to lower the strain on the collective, while allowing us to support one of our biggest endeavors yet: moving a trans comrade from the deep red heart of Arkansas to a safe location in Philadelphia. This entire operation has been arranged by the HOUDINI collective and funded by collective members. However, this move, in combination with supporting a full-time organizer, has stretched our resources as thin as they can possibly go. This is why we've created this fundraiser.
HOUDINI promises to use any funds donated for solely two purposes:
- Ensure that Trixie, our trans comrade, is able to complete her move smoothly with a small cushion of income to help keep her footing solid as she settles in Philadelphia.
- Ensure that the needs of our professional organizer are met, as the move expenses are being pulled primarily from the collective funds that support them.
Therefore, we are asking for a total of $1500 to be split between these two purposes. This will allow our collective significant breathing room in terms of day-to-day operations, while allowing a much smoother transition for Trixie from Arkansas to Philadelphia.
We're very proud of what we've been able to accomplish with the HOUDINI Collective and the magazine that it runs. We're even more excited to grow, and to see just how much good we can do with our platform.
We are redistributing resources to directly save a comrade's life and sustain the organization that makes this work possible. Every dollar you contribute is a direct blow against the system that wants her trapped in Arkansas and wants our collective to starve. This is not charity; it's mutual aid. It's an investment in liberation.
Thanks for the support.
- Erik Houdini, Founder of HOUDINI
>>2500510I thought the Left is supposed to dislike charity?
Anyway start a youtube channel or some shit, genuinely. If you can't sustain your collective AND it's your primary source of income then you need to treat it as such and be more serious about finding revenue sources, ie exploiting bourgeois capitalism to get that bag and fund the revolution. Not begging for donations. Go rob a bank like Stalin if you have to.
>>2500566I don't use any of those either, but I'm not trying to promote anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know how it's really a lot. It's free to post. You have the resources to post here.
>>2500567What about Tik Tok?
>>2500510video for it
Gonna do a few changes to make the call to action and problem being solved more direct, plus Trixie is going to include a message in the text on why this is such a big deal

>>2500598We should have a Rainbow Panther Coalition.
>>2500610I just sometimes wonder if a more positive conception of whiteness might be better for the crackas.
>>2500626It's great that I actually have to care what this crazy Nazi bitch thinks.
>>2500587you already know the answer
fizzle gang never stops winning
>>2500648religion in america is on the decline, all those extremely online right wing Christians are all larpers and even they are skeptical of Israel.
Once the boomers die off we will get a horde of millennials and zoomers raised on the internet entering politics and power. And both right and left wing are increasingly anti Israel
also that guy is pastor anderson, he is a notorious anti jew anti gay christian who is in the news every now and then for being an extremist
>>2500654Anti-Netanyahu-ism, Anti-Likudism, anti-Kahanism, these are all just symptomatic liberal zionist copes avoiding the fact that the solution MUST be anti-zionism. Liberal zionists try to meet Palestinians halfway by pretending Israel would somehow be acceptable if you just got rid of the crazy rightwingers like Netyanyu, Smotrich, Gvir, and so on.
Would it though? Would it really?
>>2500646It's so ironic funny when left liberals complain about Taliban being religious oppressors.
Like, BRUH, you put them there. Twice.
And the Taliban were still the
lesser evil compared to the
even worse shit that your "western values" NATO installed. Again , TWICE.
>>2500430>No I didn't see it, what was the jist of it?He showed up at the UN, gave a speech 3 times longer than any other leader present (about 1 hr), and said to everyone at the UN, basically, "your countries are going to hell and America's never been more hot, we're so back, the stock market is doing great, the inflation is fixed, I deserve a nobel peace prize, I've fixed more wars than anyone else in human history, my "Trump Was Right About Everything" hat was the best selling hat, the UN can't stop wars like I can, but also Venezuela has it coming and sells all the drugs, and also it's really good that NATO has increased its military budget, wind and solar power don't work and are hoaxes, only oil, gas and coal are worthwhile energy sources, climate change is a hoax, renewable energy is a hoax, immigrants are outta control criminals invading poor defenseless america who never did anything bad, blah blah blah."
some of that is literal quotes (like the going to hell thing) but a lot of it is paraphrasing.
>>2500696Reminds me of a certain someone's old prediction that left populism will be rolled into 90s neoliberalism.
Sister Souljah moment = anti-woke
It's the economy, stupid = class first
Latte sipping coastal elites = Anti-PMC
Welfare work requirement = jobs guarantee
https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/09/28/ice-agents-spotted-downtown-on-michigan-avenue-along-chicago-riverFeds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are arrested based on ‘how they look’<Immigration agents wearing tactical gear and carrying long guns made arrests in downtown Chicago and the River North neighborhood Sunday. “This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation,” Gov. JB Pritzker said.
>Gregory Bovino, commander at large of the border force, contrasted the people being arrested with a white WBEZ reporter, saying agents consider a person’s appearance before taking them into custody.
>“You know, there’s many different factors that go into something like that,” Bovino said. “It would be agent experience, intelligence that indicates there’s illegal aliens in a particular place or location.“Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.
Bovino, who brought his “Operation At Large” deportation campaign from California to Illinois this month, made the comments about three weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court said federal agents could continue stopping people based on factors including race and language during the campaign in California. The court’s majority did not explain itself.

>>2500865>>2499776It's a demoralization campaign.
He wants an escalation of violence like he did during the summer of George Floyd, to radicalize those of both sides who are easily prone to suggestion via the agitprop of live streams which feeds the broader media narratives, and to normalize martial law… but the law of unintended consequences has combat vets responding in their own way. Peaceful protests could disarm and dismantle his plans but it would be better if the so-called left could ignore him instead of taking b8 and playing the desired role. One man shouldn't dominate the world's attention. The struggle should be easier, but people don't seem willing to outwit them and instead choose the reckless path of violence. Mind over matter is how to outlast them. Just a thought…
