>>2895077
Normies love to make fun of you for being parasocial but they don't provide any alternatives for dealing with loneliness. Talking to people irl obviously doesn't work. Parasocialism is just a coping mechanism, it isn't something you can stop people from doing without addressing the core issue.

Okay and? They still deserve to be ridiculed.

why? this is like the modern equivalent of making fun of the disabled. it just makes you seem like a shitty person.

>>2895078
No judgement, I did the same with pornstars on fansly, got myself some credit card debt thankfully not too much, but Iโ€™m lucky, you just have to remember itโ€™s not real. Maybe to really succeed and survive you have to cut out that part of you that longs for socialization, how you would do this idk.

Incredible research is being done on this subject over in /siberia/ btw

>>2895083
>Maybe to really succeed and survive you have to cut out that part of you that longs for socialization, how you would do this idk.
Humans weren't meant to be solitary animals I'm not convinced it's actually possible to lead a fulfilling life without any connection to other people. I've encountered "former incels"/MGTOW types who say this but they all just seem just as bitter as they were before but instead of channeling their loneliness towards achieving their goals they channel it towards resentment towards women. I don't want that life man.

>>2895085
Then you need to leave the first world to somewhere less developed and thus more social, donโ€™t know what else to tell you

>>2895078
Only the truly introspective hold the answers to this dilemma, and even then never completely. One can become content with themselves and themselves only, but humans are not built for an absence of social support for long durations.

>>2895086
The poor are often doomed to die alone

>>2895083
>Maybe to really succeed and survive you have to cut out that part of you that longs for socialization, how you would do this idk.
Get on SSRIs and spend as much time as possible on the internet, preferably from as young an age as possible. Trust me, this combo will completely eradicate any desire to socialize.

Shut the fuck up and harken ye to this latest ballad of American political drama of disproportionate representation previously unheard of

So during a rally on Sunday, Jon Ossoff, Democratic senator from Georgia, made several points about how Trump seems utterly uninterested in doing his job, citing his constant falling asleep and obsessing over the ballroom. One of his examples of Trump shirking the preceived responsibility of the presidency was a single comment about how Trump wastes a lot of time "traveling with Natalie". Referring to Natalie Harp, some blonde woman in her 30's that's one of Trump's closest aids and was previously an OANN pundit who would sign off with Bible quotes or Trump quotes. She's apparently held in very high regard by Trump, and was one of the few people who was with him on that catering truck that time he left Air Force One to die from a fake Iranian terror attack

The right wing media ecosystem, up to and including the White House, somehow interpreted this as a vicious attack on Trump's fidelity and tantamount to calling Natalie Harp a whore, and for the past 36 hours there's been endless pearl clutching and performative outrage from the government and your usual talking heads. Normally I wouldn't give drama like this that much mind but considering the sheer amount of coordinated outrage against Ossoff, I'm inclined to believe he may have accidentally struck a nerve. Either that or Trump is just desperate for something to distract from Iran.

>>2895096
> Trump's fidelity
Lmao

>>2895100
Yeah no seriously, that's actually a major talking point. "How DARE you imply a devout Christian would be unfaithful!" The most insincere pearl clutching imaginable

>>2895058
a grand declaration but how do you intend to put it into action

honestly if they just jerked off and called it a day it would be understandable. it's that they throw money at something that is basically disposable and free that baffles the mind. everyone needs to empty out their prostate of fluid every now and then but you gotta do it in moderation.

>>2895152
You wait until you die, thatโ€™s all any human activity is in the end

>>2895140
Well, let's provide analytical structure:
  • (i) [No-thing good]

If we take the term formally, we negate goodness to provide evil.
So, we can see this meaning [evil].
  • (ii) [can ever happen]

We see that this applies to the potential of a future event, and if we apply the previous clause, we render [evil must happen], by a negation of "good" ever happening. So then, the anon's message is:
  • (iii) [evil must happen]

This is an unconditional statement, but is it true? Only if we deny thep potential of goodness. So then, we cannot define the good merely as negativity, but positively, as a quality of a thing. If we do simply permit the possibility of good things, we thus terminate anon's statement.

So, if we are able to positively define goodness and see that it has the potential to become real, then evil must not happen, in place of good. The term thus applies both the (i) absolute and (ii) relative case.

>>2895158
The Bordiga was sitting under a tree talking to his disciples when a man came and spit on his face. He wiped it off, and he asked the man, โ€œWhat next? What do you want to say next?โ€ The man was a little puzzled because he himself never expected that when you spit on somebodyโ€™s face, he will ask, โ€œWhat next?โ€ He had no such experience in his past. He had insulted proletarians and they had become angry and they had reacted. Or if they were cowards and weaklings, they had smiled, trying to bribe the man. But Bordiga was like neither, he was not angry nor in any way offended, nor in any way cowardly. But just matter-of-factly he said, โ€œWhat next?โ€ There was no reaction on his part.

Bordigaโ€™s disciples became angry, they reacted. His closest disciple, Gramsci, said, โ€œThis is too much, and we cannot tolerate it. He has to be punished for it. Otherwise everybody will start doing things like this.โ€

Bordiga said, โ€œYou keep silent. He has not offended me, but you are offending me. He is new, a stranger. He must have heard from proletarians something about me, that this man is an armchair, a dangerous man who is throwing proletarians off their track, a counter-revolutionary, a revisionist. And he may have formed some idea, a notion of me. He has not spit on me, he has spit on his notion. He has spit on his idea of me because he does not know me at all, so how can he spit on me?

โ€œIf you think on it deeply,โ€ Bordiga said, โ€œhe has spit on his own mind. I am not part of it, and I can see that this poor man must have something else to say because this is a way of saying something. Spitting is a way of saying something. There are moments when you feel that language is impotent: such as in the rapid consumption of lasagna after dark. There are intense moments when language is impotent. Then you have to do something. When you are angry, intensely angry, you hit the person, you spit on him, you are saying something. I can understand him. He must have something more to say, thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m asking, โ€œWhat next?โ€

The man was even more puzzled! And Bordiga said to his disciples, โ€œI am more offended by you because you know me, and you have lived for years with me, and still you react.โ€

Puzzled, confused, the man returned home. He could not sleep the whole night. When you see a Bordiga, it is difficult, impossible to sleep again the way you used to sleep before. Again and again he was haunted by the experience. He could not explain it to himself, what had happened. He was trembling all over and perspiring. He had never come across such a man; he shattered his whole mind and his whole pattern, his whole past.

The next morning he was back there. He threw himself at Bordigaโ€™s feet. Bordiga asked him again, โ€œWhat next? This, too, is a way of saying something that cannot be said in language. When you come and touch my feet, you are saying something that cannot be said ordinarily, for which all words are a little narrow; it cannot be contained in them.โ€ Bordiga said, โ€œLook, Gramsci, this man is again here, he is saying something. This man is a man of deep emotions.โ€ The man looked at Bordiga and said, โ€œForgive me for what I did yesterday.โ€

Bordiga said, โ€œForgive? But I am not the same man to whom you did it. The circuit of capital goes on flowing, it is never the same capital again. Every man is a circuit of capital. The man you spit upon is no longer here. I look just like him, but I am not the same, much has happened in these twenty-four hours! The capital has flowed so much. So I cannot forgive you because I have no grudge against you.โ€

โ€œAnd you also are new. I can see you are not the same man who came yesterday because that man was angry and he spit, whereas you are bowing at my feet, touching my feet. How can you be the same man? You are not the same man, so let us forget about it. Those two proletarians, the man who spit and the man on whom he spit, both are no more. Come closer. Let us talk of something else.

German reunification happened with only 40 years of division and it still has a ton of problems. Now imagine Korea where they were both technically at war which made the division even more isolating reuniting after 80 years where only people in their 90s-100s vividly remember a time when Korea was united.

Having twice the population doesnโ€™t matter when theyโ€™re all soft westoids

>the north koreans want to turn south korea into gaza, that's how based they are LOL!!!!!

this is literally just a bizarro version of what the state department says. no they don't want to "Gazafy" their fellow Koreans. They have always want to reunify but under fair and equal terms. Since that is not going to happen, they have given up on it as a goal. But they are not these bloodthirsty monsters who want to commit genocide. That is literally what the US military did to them, and now people like you project that crime onto them.

>>2895239
>south koreans are evil because yankee devils brainwashed them to be evil and north koreans want nothing to do with them and would actually glass them sooner than reunify

This anon is right, there is no way reunification would end up well for the DPRK and even if it was in the DPRKS own terms they'd still end up with a large fascist insurgency in the metropoles at least, leaving the DPRK to either abandon the south or take a 'security based' approach, which in time will look probably not too dissimilar to Gaza.
Such an act of reunification would be a death blow to the DPRK, honestly.

Labelling hamas 'islamist' is pretty insincere.

>>2895257
Depends on the relative prosperity of the two Koreas and how effectively the DPRK could exploit class conflict in the South. If the West continues to decline while the DPRK experiences steady improvement, we may return to the situation that prevailed until the 1970s where the North was actually the richer country. In that case I don't think it would be so difficult to bring the bulk of the Southern population into the fold. People need to remember that a lot of popular anti-communist sentiment is based on the fact that the West has historically been more prosperous than anywhere else. This leads to the erroneous belief that any country can be as rich as the West if they just emulate them hard enough and cooperate with their every demand. It's how you get people like Poles who are convinced that they were behind held back by communism and that adopting Western institutions has led them to prosperity (even though it was actually EU gibs and being allowed to participate in the world imperialist economy). If the West loses this advantage in prosperity then they lose their single strongest ideological weapon.

Also the theory going around is the reason Karoline Leavitt left recently is because she found out Natalie was in the catering truck while she was with the other schmucks as bait in Air Force One. It's all conjecture at this point but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a contributing factor

>>2895265
Even if the DPRK gets a large percent of the population, still, the mix of military service, an incredibly hierarchical society, historic fascist undercurrents and western moneey/funding/guns etc would IMHO basically all but guarantee a very bloody and sustained insurgency with plenty of bodies ready to be thrown into the meat grinder.
The choice DPRK has taken to go it's own way is really the most prudent.

>>2895279
You can nip most potential insurgencies in the bud simply by actually giving people a decent quality of life, which the DPRK will be in a position to do without America constantly breathing down their neck. I have no doubt reconstruction and reconciliation is probably going to take a long time, but most people when push comes to shove are going to side with the guys giving them the means to live comfortably, and the Burgerreich sure as hell isn't doing that

True or False
if the majority of [group A] supports [atrocity A] it does not matter what happens to any member of [group A] including the minority of [group A] that does not support [atrocity] because [group A] is collectively guilty of [atrocity] especially the minority that failed to stop the majority. this reasoning is valid for all groups, regardless of who they are.

Maybe it is patriotism for a genocidal US government that shits on workers all over the world, including American workers, that gets you accused of "pol" and not shitting on Israel. Just don't get seen as patriotic for the US government that funds Israel. And definitely don't appeal to some interclass "The People" that includes the national bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie as allies of the proletariat against Israeli influence when really the bourgeoisie of the USA have allied with the international bourgeoisie, including the Israeli bourgeoisie, against the workers of the whole world. This government commits genocide in your name and is not your friend. Millions of people grow up chanting death to America because of what the US government does in your name. Why stand behind that? why view that government as ONLY being bad because of israeli influence when in fact israeli influence is the shit cherry on top of the shit sundae that is 250 years of capitalism, slavery and genocide.

Yeah, but just hating the Republicans isn't enough. The democrats will sabotage their own candidates if that's what it takes because they're fighting an insurgency from their progressive wing, which unlike the Republicans poses an actual threat to party leadership and their interests. And we already know what their plan is regarding Trump: do nothing and let Trump make people vote for them.

As much as people might not like Trump or the Republicans, their success as a party is that they serve their various bases and give them reasons to vote for them. The democrats have nothing to offer, which is a big part of why this progressive insurgency is such a threat to them. There's nothing they can offer to beat them, so in the midterms all their energy is going to be spent against their own side. The Republicans don't need to be liked. They just have to service their same awful voting blocs with their same old policies, because their opponents are going to be busy fighting, and the losers of those contests aren't going to vote for the winners.

for the same reason Leftists generally support anti-imperialism even when it means the national bourgeoisie is just as corrupt as the international bourgeoisie. removing layers of influencer is a good thing for enabling class consciousness. when your enemy is your billionaire neighbor it's easier to wage class war compared to when your enemy is some billionaire in tel aviv. this shit DOES matter both in terms of practical revolutionary potential and general political optics(people are less likely to be politically involved if they believe they are under occupation by a foreign entity and have no real means of self-determination).

I understand the argument that "it doesn't matter" who your ruling class claims allegiance to, but I think it's a strategic mistake for Leftists to (yet again) give chuds all the rhetorical advantage when it comes to an issue we've been vocal about for decades just because they're willing to shamelessly parrot "America First" without an ounce of self-awareness while we sit here criticizing eachother for not "choosing our words correctly" when it comes to criticizing Israeli influence over US politics. Obviously, "America First" is tone deaf national chauvinist nonsense, but it takes advantage of a sentiment that exists among the American working class: that we have no political representation and our needs are being ignored in favor of Israel's needs. Instead of shouting about how this is "wrongthink" we should probably be looking into how to push the working class in the right direction and away from right-wing slop.

and before you say it we should care about sustaining natural ecosystems not out of some naive hippy dippy tree hugger bullshit but because we vitally depend on them in a roundabout way. the crude shortsighted ecological engineering of diverting rivers hurts food production in the long term.

Look at history of fascism:
-no liberal thinkers were involved in the early creation of fascism
-fascism was created primarly by ex socialists, national syndicalists, and anarchists
-liberal and other group support only came after fascism started rising, not when it first was created.
-the prime support for early fascism was from national syndie, anarchist, and ex-socialist
-the founder of fascism was a nationalist schizo who was a former socialist

Just a thought. But I think there might be obstacles to transferring an anti-imperialist form of politics in a colonized / third-world country to the United States, but the United States is not actually (as a matter of objective reality) colonized by Israel. I mean it's not like French colonialism in Algeria or S.E. Asia, or British colonialism in India. I think you need more than for people to just "feel" like they're under occupation by a foreign entity, in those situations they literally were under occupation by foreign troops from Europe who spoke a different language.

Israel does try to push its agenda in the U.S. very hard, but the vector for that is a well-organized, highly civically engaged Jewish community in the United States. It's those people who assembled like Voltron and voted for Jared Moskowitz on Tuesday night. AIPAC money comes from within the United States. We have a pretty good sense of who the largest donors are, and the top guys are Jewish CEOs like Bernard Marcus of Home Depot, Jan Koum of WhatsApp, and various real-estate executives and directors of deluxe hedge funds from the East Coast financial sector:

But their investments are also global, and they have investments in Israel as well. But these ARE your neighbors. They live in New York and Palm Beach. Well maybe not your neighbor neighbors, but they live here in this country and they're Americans.

I don't know what political implications we can draw from that. The far right wants to make it an ethnic conflict: the problem is the Jews. And look! (They'll say.) Here's a list of money-grubbing Jews with a lot of power! What they want to do is construct a cross-class alliance against the Jews. And then socialists on the left want to construct a politics that is "us vs. the billionaires" (more populist) without regard for the ethnicity of the billionaires. Or the working class vs. the capitalists.

One critique that Marxists have made of antisemitism is that it can paradoxically reaffirm the system of global capitalism by identifying the many problems as being caused by this minority group (as wealthy as it is). Even "capitalists" too if you want to get more leftcom with it; rather it's more of a system in which capitalists are also functionaries. In any event, the problem doesn't go away either because of the manifest badness of the situation and the relative weakness of the left at offering an alternative since socialism widely came to be viewed as discredited.

The scapegoat might shift to other people as well. This is running pretty hot at the moment, but it could recede in the future (it comes and goes), and people will find some other group to project all the ills of the society on. Also anti-imperialism is a hard sell because a lot of Americans don't believe that they're the moral equivalent of the Empire from Star Wars. A lot of Americans are more likely to view aggressive wars by the U.S. as idiotic mistakes than how the anti-imperialist left often likes to present them. So again, that allows the far right to advance the argument that "Americans" are basically good but "the Jews" are responsible. And on the left you might hear "Israel" as opposed to America.

And there is a danger of the left doing the "America deserved 9/11" stuff. But there might also be a danger of over-doing the anti-Zionism (which holds regardless of whether it's correct or incorrect) becase that risks getting ahead of the left's emphasis on advancing the interests of the working class and the poor. If those people feel like the left has abandoned them, they will vote for right-wing nationalists who will then produce a foreign policy that the left is likely to view as even more imperialist than what the U.S. is doing right now. So that can be a bad spiral. Idk, I've said enough, what does everyone else think?

>The US leaves South Korea as its domestic situation gets more chaotic and its foreign policy goes up in flame particularly in MENA.
So South Korea becomes more militarily independent as the US retreats step by step. But it seems like Japan would end up taking the vacuum just in time for their remilitarization.
