/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftypol.org)

I also find it encouraging that no one replies to him and it is good a example of how most fash theory is just >5 paragraphs of yapping so some dipshit imageboard user can explain how hes like totally SOVFVL and magic is like totally real guise and I'm basically Conan the barbarian guise. Even the most vulgar materialist on here is has better analytical skills than someone who not only believes magic and that all the reality boils down to somesort of manichean soul energy battle but they are the chosen one with magic powers.

the ever hopeful and resilient materialist>>>>>>>>>>>>>the hopeless romantic

This is what happens when you're a college student who praises pointless intellectualism tbh. Like sorry it isn't much worse than the average psychoanalytic or philosopher pseud in here.

>>39165
I suppose it's encouraging that nobody replies, but it's also discouraging that almost nobody uses the board anymore. *shrug*

>>39166
if pursuing intellectualism for its own sake at least like be a math major or something that could theoretically have a material application in the future and not an occultist lol

>>39166
>it isn't much worse than the average psychoanalytic or philosopher pseud in here.
don't really know shit about those topics so I'll take your word for it. It does track with the college philosophy guys I do know irl. Could be a just me problem but 9/10 times they just start making up random ass hyper specific thought experiments and using some boof ass version of the socratic method(like yes bro ik what your doing when you keep asking why) and like they really did something. Not to mention they can never get to fuckin point and most believe claiming that your right and others are wrong is literally North Korea 1984 authoritarianism. After a certain point they're just playing mental calvinball with themselves and not actually engaging with material reality. Like these same mfers will jack themselves off about being neetschian superboy or how nuanced all there takes are and then unironically repeat state dept. lines about 8 Russians dying for every Ukrainian.

>>39167
ong /edu/ is easily my fav board and that shit is dead af sometimes. Would be cooler if it was more active

Yeah it's bad.

>>39169
I used to post there and I really enjoy seeing what people are reading about. I tried writing a little book review a while ago but tor seems to not be usable

It's now two people. And they are sharing insights such as "Fascism and communism share more similarities than differences"… RIP to what used to be the best thread on this entire website 😔

>>40200
fr newgene and the nazi are shitting up the best board mods pls exile them to a different board

Why are this site's mods so incompetent? Why has this been allowed to continue freely for months? This is the kind of moderation I would assume feds to promote on leftist websites.

>>40202
A variety of reasons.
It's about to get worse before it gets better.

>>40200
Which thread?

>>40202
Something I've noticed too. They had that survey a few months back but it feels like nothing changed.
Fix /edu/ at the very least you good-fah-nuffin hacks.

>>40202
>>40262
Shut the fuck up. Trying to goad the mods into banning anyone without a severely narrow worldview and thus ensuring leftism remains a niche hobby is fed behaviour

Its unfortunate, but it says more about the board then it does about the Nazi. The one naziflag poster is the best poster on the entire site when it comes to hegel and dialectical materialism, and that is a tragedy. I reply to him sometimes, but usually I have nothing to add because he covered it all. Idk if that is who you are talking about and I dont read all the threads but if that is what you are characterizing as psycho analytical schizo babble and magic then you are more of an anti-communist then they are.

Edunazi is now posting ITT

>>40272
there is literally an example of this schizo babble in the OP post

>>40274
yeah im still thinking the problem is that he is more well read than his detractors. i dont see what is wrong with summarizing what you are reading in the edu checkin thread. and below that he is comparing the criminality of anarchists and fascists which he is also not wrong about. esotericism isn't magic and there are a lot of parallels with marxism and promethianism and gnostic or mystic abrahamic religions. philosophy and science did originate with religious institutions so studying their history makes sense and understanding symbology isn't the same thing as believing in unicorns or whatever.

>>40276
>he's just more well read ok?!?!?!
Well read in schizo babble. Follow the Feynman principle. Explain this post like I'm 5. What is he actually saying that is of any immediate relevance to the labor movement in any country on earth?

>>40276
its literally doesnt matter what bros writing abt him and newgene shit up every thread there on with ts and no one wants to see that shit anymore. just exile them to siberia this is an educational board not just two pseuds spamming.

>>40282
it doesn't actually work like that and the idea that it does it meant to dismiss complex things that actually take time to understand. and this time you picked a post that is directly about marx so i really dont know what to tell you. freudo-marxism is a huge field

>>40283
>no one wants to see that shit
i do
if you dont like it make better posts

>>40283
I agree.

>>40284
>freudo-marxism is a huge field
Please take this shit anywhere else

>>40285
I'm not the one posting it and I dont agree with it but I dont see it as a problem. Instead of whining to mods you could actually critique his position but that would require you to open a book and participate in the board, hopefully making it better.

>>40282
this. well read doesnt necessarily mean good lol. i once found some weird 19th century french occult books my grandpa used to have and it was all slop (though they were an interesting read)

>>40284
>>40286

I could literally upload pictures of my actual fucking poops from the toilet bowl and it would be better than +5 paragraphs of psychoanalytical woowoo. Also why tf would anyone waste any amount of their time even engaging with a literal nazi user who genuinely believes in magic and new "schools are like basically dachau broooo" gene. Engaging with them is the opposite of what should be done.

>>40288
because psychanalysis isn't woo and schools being prisons comes from foucault. its entirely normal politics and not nazi. you are crying about someone knowing more than you instead of recentering what they are saying on class/production/marxism because you clearly dont understand it. if you dont want to engage hide the thread or the user. he is worth keeping around as long as you booklits keep refusing to read. there are plenty of ways that the combining of psychoanalysis with marxism ends up wrong but you aren't even capable of discussing that, what are you going to do with the thousands of mainstream academics who agree with that interpretation? you are not even equipped to bring it back to marx and if we give into banning people who actually can the site will be worse and even less capable

instead of dismissing that schools are prisons, which is stupid because they are and foucault is correct, you could instead investigate what he means by that and how it relates to class politics, what is the meaning and what we should do about, and disagree with foucault on his solutions due to him being a liberal elitist and not with his accurate analysis of panopticon and social control

instead of disagreeing with freudo-marxist concept of a capitalist unconscious being located in SNLT, ask why its important to workers, and disagree with freuds focus on aristocrats and individuality, but accept that there are commonalities between secularized/universal interpretations of frueds analysis of fetish that can give us tools for understanding mass psychology and ideology.

instead of dismissing any talk of esotericism as schizo, you could actually read ancient mystical texts and find a robust throughline between buddism taoism zoroastrianians plato and aristotle the greek and roman pantheons abrahamic religions and modern science instead of being a fedora tipping stemlord who doesn't know the first thing about the topic at hand.

you sound like an ignorant right winger dismissing everything they dont like as cultural marxism and celebrating anti-intellectualism

>>40289
you sound like a pseud lmao

>>40289
If I cared about arguing this I'd just say that that means prisons are really shit schools and that is why even the worst gulags are more humane than the nicest Scandinavian westoid disciplinary system.

Foucault isn't interesting, he just says shit that sounds cool and subversive to teenage and tweenage boys.

>>40291
and you sound like an illiterate who is trying to stifle discussion of dialectal materialism through scapegoating. i wouldn't defend him if there was literally one single poster that was at his caliber.

i would defend keeping someone like AW just the same, despite him being a liberal, because he clearly knows what he is talking about and people like you do not. its not like this guy is talking about how racial souls determine the essence of history, and tbh ive never even seen him nazi post.

a lot of the liberalism of fruedo-marxism can easily be dismantled from a decolonial/antiimperialist pov but i have a feeling your implicit rejection of dialectics is actually your motivator for not liking these posts and its likely that you are attempting to astroturf a consensus that supports western imperialism, which is of course quite common among theorylets

>>40293
>if there was literally one single poster that was at his caliber.
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

yeah edu really needs more of this and less of "5 paragraphs". everyone knows real theory consists of one liner ad hominems as marx famously never wrote anything longer than a tweet

>>40295
>length == substance
It takes a long time to make a meaningful text at length. Anyone here can just spit out 10 paragraphs of pure train of thought.

Marx made every sentence count and held what he published to rigorous standards.

>>40296
oh sorry i didn't know that calling names was considered "substance" around here

>>40295
>everyone owes me a effortpost
lmaooo

>>40297
>take me seriously or ur a dumbdumb!!!!!!!

>>40298
if you want to convince other people you would have to make an argument. it doesnt even have to be an effort post you just have to actually explain why something is wrong instead of just asserting it to be so. if you dont want to do that you shouldn't have posted in the first place

>>40297
Do you lack reading comprehension or was that some attempt at a quip? I'm saying the /edu/ nazi isn't making substantial posts, only lengthy ones.
>>40298
Adding quips won't help.

>>40302
I disagree, I think their posts are good, and you haven't given me a reason to think otherwise.

>>40303
You find their posts "good" but they aren't educational resources, they're just debate spam. /edu/ is supposed to be a library.

>>40303
>I think their posts are good
Their posts:
>Fascism and communism share more similarities than differences

>>40306
??

>>40289
>instead of dismissing any talk of esotericism as schizo, you could actually read ancient mystical texts and find a robust throughline between buddism taoism zoroastrianians plato and aristotle the greek and roman pantheons abrahamic religions and modern science
Do you even hear yourself

>>40311
Wouldn't it have been more efficient to just say "copy [prompt] into deepseek" instead of giving screenshots with no alt-text?

>>40303
>I think their posts are good
this is precisely why your not taken seriously lmao

This thread is so depressing.
And LeftyPol claims to be open minded and not chauvinistic like those "goddamn chuds".

So much for being a "leftist"

>>40349
Ok newgene.
>And LeftyPol claims to be […]
Headcanon + leftypol is not a person. Go back to reddit

>>40350
Not Newgene
But yo guys always say "LeftyPol isn't one individual" yet you act like one individual.
Also, pretty ironic when you guys obsess over Reddit drama

>>40352
Suuure, you just type exactly like him out of coincidence, typos and all.
>yet you act like one individual
Anon has access to everyone else's post history holy shit
Get a hobby

>>40358
I already have hobbies.
That's something you guys need to get instead of whining about liberals

>>40351
wait are you seething about newgene or the nazi?

>>40288
>>40292
Don't you guys complain about work being a hellish punishment?

>>40349
I can't tell if this is a parody or not.

>And LeftyPol claims to be open minded and not chauvinistic
Where?

>>40404
Don't you guys talk about "spooks" all the time?

>>40409
Yes, and?

>>40410
You guys seem that most spooked people of all
