Part of the reason the US hasn't cut off ties to the Zionist Entity is the fear of the ruling class, the leaders on the older side, on psychic interference by Zionist agents on their bodily functions, their lives basically.

For this to occur, the network of colonial power among the 5 eyes nations needs to be completely nullified. The tight bond between Israel and the Five Eyes nations isn't about shadowy control and blackmail; it's structural kinship. Zionism isn't something foreign to these nations at all, it operates on the same settler colonial logic; the loudest support for Israel doesn't simply come from imperialists, it's distinctly from the modern settler-states (5 eyes). Israel and zionism is the latest project of the global white settler and their economic order. In the USA you just don't recognize the machinery when it's been running smoothly for centuries, its violence can be partially buried under layers of institutional legitimacy and carefully orchestrated veils.

Palestine and it's images lays the logic out bare. There, you see the settler state in its raw form, it's earlier stages; the land seizures, the demographic engineering, the legal frameworks designed to disappear indigenous presences while sanctifying settler possession. It's the earliest phase of a process these other states completed ages ago; the same logic exists but in the form of a later stage of the settler colonial project. They protect them, based on common ground and a shared goal; not to mention the geopolitics. Make no mistake if israel's project for the future succeeds, they would have the similar types of developments that the USA had; then you'd eventually see the logic and functions of their apartheid settler state as normalized social order and enforcement. Viola! this is the current logic of AMERIKKKA and the entire existence of 5 eyes.

Skyscrapers and tall buildings are excellent, the key to solving the housing crisis, and they are unfairly hated. They allow housing supply to be maximized in the smallest possible space. People who complain that new buildings are expensive don't understand how vacancy chains work. Treating cities as your personal museums is, without irony, a bourgeois mentality and does not differentiate you much from the /pol/tard who shouts EVROPA when he sees a building or city that has not grown in height in 400 years, or the conservative American evangelist who glorifies and worships the single-family home in the middle of nowhere as his golden calf. “Cyberpunk” is simply the result of the solution found by the Japanese government and the rest of East Asia to maximize housing supply as best as possible, and all countries will eventually, due to population pressures and other factors, reach the same conclusion and adopt the same urban model (as a kind of evolutionary filter of civilization). If communist China is not afraid to build skyscrapers, nuclear power plants, and mass public transportation, I don't see why the rest of the socialist parties, socialist organizations, and the anons here should be afraid to do the same.

>Skyscrapers and tall buildings are excellent, the key to solving the housing crisis
There are enough possible homes, so that wasn’t the actual problem. Skyscrapers are cool though.

Zionism is rooted in the thought of Hegel, and the more Hegelian you are the more Zionist you will be.

>>2705165
>There are enough possible homes, so that wasn't the actual problem.

In fact, no, and this surprised me too. Housing construction productivity has been declining since the 1970s in most developed countries, and part of this is due to deindustrialization and neoliberalism, of course, but another factor is height restrictions and local opposition to taller buildings and upzoning in general. New York and San Francisco appear to have a lot of housing if you look at them superficially in photos or videos, but the truth is that they haven't been building much housing relative to demand for a long time.

- it's weird that cuba gets so fetishized so much in leftoid circles but the DPRK is demonized when both countries operate under a very similar system. In fact the DPRK is even more sanctioned but they get almost no solidarity from the western left, only by weirdos

- whoever does not support or at least sympathize with Russia in this conflict right now will be a liberal in a few years

- I'm against the death penalty, there is no argument for it. People who are an incurable danger to society can be put in high security psychiatric wards. Only when no resources can be spared, like in war, should the death penalty be permissible

- gender dysphoria is a real thing, but most people who claim to be trans, especially on the internet just use this as cope for another undiagnosed (or diagnosed) mental illness. I don't mind it tho, the "woke hysteria" was maybe a necessary vehicle to get real acceptance for people who do really have gender dysphoria. Same how the flamboyant guy era was necessary to get gay people accepted etc. - it will fade back to normal

>>2705259
>>western left, only by weirdos

This is not true.

>>2705259
It's because nothing works in Cuba and the Westoid left loves dying children who can do nothing against imperialism (Cuba, Allende's Chile, Venezuela, Palestine, etc.), but hate socialist states that possess the capability of permanently destroying Washington D.C (China, North Korea, Belarus).

>>2705259
>cuba gets so fetishized so much in leftoid circles but the DPRK is demonized when both countries operate under a very similar system
cuba despite sanctions had a lot of tourism so it isnt seen as 'closed', and their language is spoken by a lot of people in the world so its harder to just make shit up about them. And culturally they seem a lot less foreign for the west
Being an island and not having endured a genocidal nato war with a vassal US occupied state on half their territory, they're also less militarized which makes them look more sympathetic and less of a threat too

>>2705694
oh and I almost forgot, a couple of very charismatics and obviously humanists leaders and a relatively bloodless and romanticized revolution certainly play a role

>>2705259
because of orientalism. the DPRK is viewed as stern, cold, serious, weird, belligerent. while Cuba had cigars, rum, mañana culture, women.

A whole lot more of mainstream academia/science/history/technology is cooked by bourgeois interests than you average schizo or communist believes. It's just not flying cars. It's mundane stuff like cures for cancer and technology that makes petroleum obsolete and suppressed history of classless societies.

>it's weird that cuba gets so fetishized so much in leftoid circles but the DPRK is demonized
I think the DPRK in part makes it easy to be demonized because of how closed off they are. You can't freely roam around as a tourist, whereas many Westerners visit Cuba and have the run of the place. My aunt has been there so many times and made so many local connections there that she's now actively promoting solidarity events organized by communists, despite being petty bourgeois herself. Cuba also doesn't really engage in the kind of cult of personality around their leaders, or implement any kind of (apparently) hereditary rule. It's much easier to see it as a country in which institutions are more important than individual leaders, and thus it appears much closer to what most socialists envision when they talk about worker's democracy. In other words, the DPRK being so closed off makes it easy to portray them as bizarre and backwards, which is made worse by how some of their political practices appear from the outside. I'm highly sympathetic to them, but even I can't say with any certainty how their politics actually work, whereas the politics of Cuba are far more transparent.

Hivemind communism is a good idea. We should create pheromone organs through genetic engineering or brain chips to link up humanity

I think that's unironically just this. Cuba is le laid-back latinos smocking cigars under palm trees in che guevara shirts. DPRK is le evil troops marching in totalitarian weather. That's all there is to it to the westoid brain

>>2706191

There's also the fact that more Americans have lived in cuba even during the blockade. It's culturally more interlinked with the US and the Americas.

I dislike Marxists which go after businesses which produce a valuable product.
I dislike capitalists which go after government because government.

Controversial but fair and true, the above opinion always gets me into people's bad books.

>>2704033
The only counterpoint to the death penalty that I've heard of and respect is that courts aren't trustworthy enough to ensure innocent people aren't convicted. Many many news stories of innocent people appealing and overturning life sentences.

For any extreme antisocial action where responsibility is established with certainty, execute them efficiently. No point wasting more resources. I don't care if you want prolonged 'justice' (torture) against someone who hurt you.

My controversial opinion is that puberty blockers should be mandatory until the age of majority. Prevents teenage pregnancies and delays adolescence until the mind is prepared to logic your way out of hormonal urges. Also, this way it is easier for people to choose non-standard genders.

>>2752017
>mandatory
so, 8 billion people will be forced by a global military, and be imprisoned if they dont comply?

>>2752017
girls should take puberty blockers so they can remain lolis forever

>>2752021

I did say it would be controversial, did I not?

>>2752017
Teenage pregnancy has already gone down significantly without that though? It's a big reason theirs a fertility crisis at least in the United States. And I think that's a good thing.

>>2752033
but do you not find it extremely inefficient?

>>2706038
>Cuba also doesn't really engage in the kind of cult of personality around their leaders, or implement any kind of (apparently) hereditary rule.
Fidel didn't like it. They don't name things after him iirc. There's a statue of Che but they don't usually do that kind of thing or place portraits of the leaders on walls. More emphasis on popular participation. Bureaucracy and the cult of personality seem like opposites but they are like twin tendencies that reinforce each other. Socialism is supposed to be the self-government of the working class.

There need to be mass re-education of the population. Of everybody even me. A mass cultural revolution if you will. I don't know how it would work or who would it, other than some communist or progressive force, but it needs to happen.

>>2752017
>lets just fuck with the natural growth processes of the human body of everyone because we cant be arsed to educate properly or for the benefit of a tiny minority of "non standard" genders (that should have been identified and taken care of way earlier)

do you glowies not understand the meaning of controversial?
Kids should not be having sex. People do not desire sex before puberty. Therefore, puberty should be delayed until adulthood.

Indigeneity is ethnonationalist blood-and-soil horseshit. I don't care if you've been fucked over by a dominant group, you don't get special rights to land or political power after emancipation because muh ancestors. Fuck you. Ethnicity is bullshit. You're not better than anyone else.

>>2752177
How come I had sex thoughts when I was in kindergarten if people aren't supposed to have sex thoughts before puberty? I remember talking about sex with girls with another horny friend when we were 8 or 9 year olds. I never had sex in the end but I think that's beside the point.

>>2752177
how the hell do we define "kids"? in most countries 16 year olds are able and often quite willing to have sex, but this would likely be too much for a guy like you, so you'd have to restrict everyone so a few could benefit

Lightpoles, billboards, and larger illuminated signs should be torn down so that the population can have a natural view of the stars in their daily lives.

None of these takes are controversial. They are the most maistream normie takes imaginable.

My opinions:

1. Leftists are just turbo liberals and leftist theory doesn't help us solve the problems of capitalism
   
   
2. Chudism is a logical outcome of industrial capitalism, and chudism is also contaminating the left (which you can see on leftypol)
   
   
3. Heidegger was better than Marx and fundamental ontology is better than diamat woo woo, but his practical philoosophy is dogshit. We need to use Heidegger to help ground Marx and patch over his crappy ontology.
   
   
4. Islamists are better than 99% of leftists and represent a genuine but very flawed revolutionary movement which failed in the 2000s because it took the knee in the face of neolib dogshit
