Chinese consumption is entirely reliant on the exploitation of low-wage chinese workers to profuce stuff cheaply to then sell to the west and in 30 years time as as china develops their entire consumption will be based upon the exploitation of low wage workers in developing countries like vietnam and ethiopia to produce stuff cheaply so they can sell that stuff back to their own consumers aswell as the west.
Can someone please explain as to in what capacity china is communist other than their flag? No matter how you twist it they're literally just succdems.

"Cheap hack of a writer's guide to creating a morally ambigous antagonist:"
>Have a character be a smug self-centered asshole for 80% of the story
>Have him ally with the main baddie and commit some war crimes
>Have him turn on the main baddie after realising that the main baddie had killed their favorite dog (or is going to kill their favorite dog soon)
>Help the main characters for one or two scenes and then be killed by the main baddie
>The main characters in the epilogue are shown standing besides his grave and musing "He wasn't a bad person, after all. Such a tragedy!"

Post examples of this which had annoyed you the most. Shounen genre specifically is ripe with them, isn't it?

Is there anything in anime and manga that hasn’t been discussed yet?

I lurked across many anime forums, and at this point I don’t think there’s any interesting discourse to be had, leftist or rightist, regarding anime. Of course, due to Sturgeon’s law, few anime are actual gems. But that’s not the point. The point is that:

Is there any point in re-hashing the same old arguments.

Last time I remember, the only engaging discourses among weebs were about Frieren and Drama Queen, but for different reasons.

Frieren moreso for its depiction of demons and its comparisons to Tolkien’s orcs. For those who don’t know, a YouTuber named Lextorias made an hour-long video discussing the narrative problems with demons and the manga’s/anime’s inconsistent portrayal of demons as being absolutely evil, explaining via both in-story and authorial reasons for it, coming to the conclusion that Frieren’s demons are just a badly-written species. What was the reaction to it? Chuds coming out in defense of the series and attacking Lextorias with the kind of arguments he himself predicted and criticised in his own video: https://www.lextorias.com/references/frieren-dilemma/

Suffice to say, he singlehandedly managed to create an entire discourse that lasted for days in Twitter as culture war BS.

Coming up next is Drama Queen, a manga that is yet to be adapted into an anime, and highly unlikely. It’s about humans living alongside with aliens who saved them from an asteroid impact. It would’ve been another slice of life manga if it wasn’t for the fact that it caught weebs’ attention due to the MCs being sociopaths who hate the aliens and are contracted by a shady org that makes a profit off of killing the alien residents whose head is a dude with a double life as an “anti-racist” professor, with said aliens being pompous and arrogant foreigners who are taking up human life.
Long story short, people caught on it as a Japanese commentary on modern immigration to Japan with said aliens being allegory for immigrants. Which immigrants (white expats, Chinese house buyers, US troops, POC non-Japanese immigrants, etc…) is debated, but it’s clearly about immigration from a right-wing POV so far, although we’ll see how it goes since the story is still being published.

But yh, there’s no interesting discussion to be had as these themes have already been discussed to death on mainstream social media.

If anything, it would be more interesting to discuss what it would like to have robots create weebslop for robot otakus to consume, creating a cashless society out of weebslop.

Anyway, imma finna go smoke weed. ✌️

Cuba is gonna be invaded

This isn't a joke or anything
Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.

Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

Incels and Rightoids

I think I understand why incels and the modern right are so well aligned. An incel doesn't actually hate the fact that dating sucks and some attractive men are really successful at the expense of average men. He just hates that HE'S not the successful man. Totally uninterested in whether or not the system is good (or even real, but that's another argument) – he just wants to be the beneficiary of it.

It's the exact same thing with your modern rightoid antisemite. He doesn't actually hate the things he says the jews do. He just hates that it's them doing it instead of him. Totally and absolutely amoral. Whether it's systemically healthy for ANYONE to do it literally never occurs to him.

I finally get it. It's more than just incidental overlap. It is the exact same causal structure. It's a generalized style of interacting with the world. If you have this style, that you become an antisemite is just as natural that you become an incel.

All humans should be killed

We are not only worthless but actively detrimental. Life was never intended for the universe and intelligent life is the exact opposite of natural order. On a cosmic scale our current civilization and suffering capacity is a scarcely noticeable blip in a dark patch of the Milky Way. We should extinguish this before it grows, colonizes anymore of space, and inevitably destroys it. I agree with posadas insofar as the nuclear holocaust is inevitable, but I believe if it doesn’t finish the job it will be useless.

We should start manufacturing enough nuclear weapons to literally blow earth into pieces and I hope we do it slaughtering every living thing if necessary in order to avenge this traumatic mistake.

Escapism is easy; Or why isekai and fantasy are now more prominent than ever

I once wrote a post speculating on the causes behind the rise of isekai and how the evolution of Japanese anime reflects societal changes in Japanese society beginning from its economic boom of the 1980s, but I’m not sure if it holds up in 2025-2026. Since I’m unfamiliar with otome-type isekai that is targeted to a female audience, I omitted it from my post. Anyway, here’s the main text:

You ever notice how most modern manga/anime releases are isekai or LitRPG slop? That isn’t random, and it isn’t just “bad writing.” It reflects who the audience is and what kind of society they’re living in.
The core consumer base is overwhelmingly struggling, isolated Japanese men in their 20s–30s (and increasingly older), often single, often overworked, often priced out of meaningful adulthood in one of the most expensive urban environments on earth. Many of them peaked socially in high school, before rent, career stagnation, and demographic collapse set in. Their main leisure activity is gaming — especially Western medieval fantasy RPGs — so the fantasy worlds they escape into are already familiar.
That’s why isekai looks the way it does. It isn’t about originality or artistic ambition; it’s about frictionless escapism. These stories let readers imagine themselves transported into a sanitized West European fantasy theme park where their accumulated gaming literacy suddenly becomes power, status, and sexual access. The protagonist can’t really fail, can’t meaningfully struggle, and can’t be morally challenged — because that would defeat the point.
This is also why isekai protagonists are so aggressively generic: They aren’t “protagonists” in the literary sense, as much as the voiceless and character-less player character typical of games like Pokemon Red. The less personality, the easier the self-insert. The less social embeddedness, the easier the exit from real life. These characters aren’t written as humans so much as interfaces.
Are there good isekai? Yes — Digimon, Re:Zero, a handful of others — but they’re exceptions precisely because they violate the unspoken contract of the genre by insisting on consequence, trauma, or actual character development. Most isekai avoids humanity altogether, because humanity introduces risk.
A lot of people blame “shut-in authors with no life experience,” but that’s only half the story. The bigger issue is the ecosystem.
Most isekai originate on web novel platforms that reward speed, familiarity, and recognizability over craft. Editors don’t ask if something is good; they ask if it can be adapted quickly. Readers browse by tags, not prose. Anything that deviates too far from the formula dies before it can accumulate attention.
So you get a self-reinforcing loop:
economic stagnation → exhaustion → demand for escapism → industry doubles down → creative entropy.
This isn’t unique to Japan, but Japan hit this phase earlier and harder.
As for the obsession with the DnD-style or tolkienesque west European medieval fantasy setting typical of the genres, it isn’t just cultural cringe or “worship of the West.” Maybe it is, but it’s actually safer than that.
Fantasy Europe, as used in isekai, is completely hollowed out — no real history, no class struggle, no politics, no ethnicity, no obligations, no icky taboo topics. It’s a neutral container. Japanese settings, by contrast, come with real social hierarchies, shame, memory, and responsibility that only Japanese society can intimately comprehend. Escapism works better when the world is empty enough not to push back. Think of it like how Mark Twain treats the England of the Arthurian Chronicles in his novel “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court” sans the satire and political bite.
This lineage runs straight from Dragon Quest and Zelda through D&D to Tolkien — not Europe as it was, but Europe as an abstracted theme park.
To understand why escapism dominates, you have to understand post-1990s Japan: After the bubble burst, Japan entered decades of stagnation, rising costs, demographic collapse, and near-permanent one-party neoliberal rule. The employment system locked people into work early at the cost of adult freedom. There is no credible mass politics, no labor movement with teeth, no expectation that protest produces change, especially in a society where the work typically relegated to the secret police is outsourced to society at large, creating a social environment that disincentivises dissent in favor of conformism and self-censorship to avoid disrupting societal harmony.
So this isn’t young men “choosing escapism over resistance.” It’s that there is no plausible route to collective agency. When exits are blocked, people fantasize about leaving the world entirely, whether it’s mass-producing escapist slop on an industrial scale or writing fanfic about a different country (looking at you, Chinaboos).
Earlier genres imagined resistance within decay (cyberpunk, mecha). Isekai imagines exit from decay.
The popularity of isekai is thus symptomatic of a country in stasis: a former imperial power that rose from the ashes of WW2 thanks to Uncle Sam’s generous help, only to lose momentum after its economic peak and never found a new social project. Creative output stagnates not entirely because people are stupid or lazy, but because risk is punished and repetition is rewarded.
Think of it like this: In the 1980s, Japan began to experience real wage growth and industrial boom, hence why many of the anime that came out of that era were sci-fi mecha that had more optimism than the original NGE (Neon Genesis Evangelion). But later down the line, as Japan began to siphon it‘s industrial profits into the real estate that was the lead up to the “lost decade”, you begin to see more “deconstructionist” or pessimistic takes on the mecha genre, starting with NGE which was soon followed by various copycats. I can’t omit that the depressive nature of NGE is perhaps influenced not just by the mental state of the staff at Gainax that was behind it, but also by the Tokyo subway sarin attack which occurred less than 9 months before the show was first aired on Japanese TV. The attack would profoundly affect Japanese society not just in terms of public safety discussions, but also in Japanese society’s ability as a collective to shield its individuals from danger. that might explain the heavy focus on the individual and their interpersonal drama in NGE, Voices of a Distant Star, and other such works produced in the 1990s and early 2000s.
But, as time went on, these kind of works eventually led to burnout, and here’s where the explosion of moe and (afterwards) magical school girl shows began in the early 2010s as the focus shifted from interpersonal drama to escapism that wasn’t necessarily isekai, but still provided an escape of sorts in the form of main cast forming an ersatz family and living through their shenanigans, or just cute and inoffensive stuff. But this also provided the breeding ground for the modern isekai genre that has overwhelmed the Japanese animation and comic industries as I elaborated in the previous paragraphs.
Now, where does this lead us? As the population continues to age, I suspect the genre will bifurcate:
•either toward slower, melancholic fantasy aimed at aging otaku (Frieren-style),
•or toward increasingly internationalized, culturally flattened content designed to survive declining domestic markets.
Neither path guarantees artistic renewal.
In short, isekai isn’t just bad writing. It’s a mirror. A mirror of a society that can’t imagine transformation and hence ends up mass-producing fantasies of painless escape — until even that starts to wear thin. Can’t escape into another world to avoid paying your rents and taxes after all, eh.
This might age like milk. Or it might just describe a phase before something uglier or stranger replaces it. The future is unpredictable after all, so anything could happen in our volatile present.

What the fuck even is the point of harem series? Aren't most of them just romance but with an even greater chance of blueballing you?
Yeah, it SEEMS like pure wish fulfillment, but it isn't even good at that because in most shows there's only relentless teasing instead of any actual romance and the MC only ends up with one of the candidates anyway.
The only explanation I can come up with is that it's just a way to increase the appeal (and thus commercial potential) of a standard romance series by cramming it with different archetypes. Either that or anime fans just love getting teased with no real guarantee of a reward, which would explain a lot, actually.

Nostalgia cartoons that hold up

I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM

This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great “Opiate of the Masses” that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new “People’s cities” were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/“Single-Family Homes” bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Psyop anti-Argentina

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

Our investigation therefore begins with an analysis of masturbation. Masturbation is, first and foremost, an external action, a practice that, through its characteristics, satisfies human needs of one kind or another. The nature of these needs—whether, for example, they arise from self-masturbation or masturbation by a third party—does not alter the issue in any way.

Why do so many corporations seem less competent in the post-COVID era?

Obviously the corporate class seeks exponential growth at all costs. From that perspective the most evil actions will make a kind of internal sense. But what doesn't make sense is that so many of the decisions made by major Western corporations seem actively self-destructive. It's almost the equivalent of internal sabotage or following spectacularly bad advice, yet they all seem to be doing it.

You can see it across the auto industry, fast food, retail, entertainment. pretty much everywhere. Like If I were an amoral, profit-maximizing CEO, I'd focus on keeping my customer base in the imperial core happy, well-fed, and dependent, while paying workers in the developing world as little as possible and using coercion to suppress resistance if necessary. That would at least be internally consistent with maximizing profits. Instead companies keep raising prices, cutting quality and generally making life worse for their own customers. These decisions aren't just going to fuck them over in the long term, they're imploding their businesses right now, yet they all keep making them anyway. This trend seems to have accelerated after COVID. What happened?

(I know: MUH lifestylism\ muh bourgeois method-but this is about what *I* can do, I don't control the planet)
I'm struggling to decide how much of my money to give to altruistic\charitable\ground-up or grassroots orgs, etc vs "hedonism" eg; toys, figures, eating expensive foodstuffs, possibly travel, mini-vacations, etc
I'm turd-world countrier but have US dollars saved. I don't like the excesses of the Utilitarian\E.U. movement but I use some of their valid analyses and data on verified, working and trustworthy, charities and NGOs.

SINFEST THREAD!

Since the last one disappeared somewhere, so I'm creating another thread dedicated to my beloved Tatsuya Ishida (≧◡≦) ♡
R: 9 / I: 0
The Worldwide Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (All the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, with all Women forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. The Worldwide flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary will ironically cause a noticeable Global decline in Transgenders (less Men will desire to become Women once the Aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity such as Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, are banned for Women) in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes will still be Free and Legal to anyone who wants one, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

Additionally, any Woman who keeps her Hair longer then a Pixie cut (a Very Short Bob cut “might” be tolerated only if it is not a millimeter longer then the Chin, but I could change my mind on this very quickly, so it would be strongly advised that all Women keep their Hair no longer then a Pixie cut), wears a Dress/Skirt, or uses Makeup/Lipstick, will have her Head completely Shaved by the Female (mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards, who will march her through the streets wearing a Dunce Cap, force her to attend Struggle Sessions, and put her in a Re-Education Camp, where she will be taught how to become a Liberated Socialist Woman and embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

When a Woman gets her Hair Chopped/Shaved off She is symbolically breaking the Chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that Long Hair on Women symbolizes in the Patriarchal Superstructure of the modern Capitalist and historical Feudal Modes of Production (then it would have been called Aristocratic Femininity), thus meaning that Forcing Women to have extremely Short Hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), along with banning Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick and making everyone wear Mandatory Mao suits is the only way to Flatten the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and create Liberated Socialist Women, as Mao said “The times have changed, Men and Women are the same”, and the only way to create a Superstructure of Gender equality that reinforces the Socialist Mode of Production is to purge the Superstructure of all vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that symbolize Patriarchal Female Subjugation and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary (ie. Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick), and before people say “why not force Men to look like Women”, the reason why the Liberated Socialist Woman must have the aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity (ie. extremely Short Hair, wearing Mao Suits instead of Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick, etc.) is because the Aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated “Subject”, while the Aesthetics of Bourgeois “Femininity” symbolize Weakness, Dependence, and being an Oppressed “Object”, so a Liberated Socialist Women must have Aesthetics that symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated “Subject”, in a Socialist Superstructure of total Gender Equality resulting from the Flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary and the destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

linus torvalds pro-AI meltdown

>I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

>Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.


>Or just walk away.


>AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.


>It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.


>There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.


>Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.


>But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.


>The solution is to make sure those LLM tools _help_ maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There's no question on that side.


>We're not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it.


>And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.


>Because it's not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.


>The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.


>Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.


>This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.


>In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.


>And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.


>Linus

elon musk the brain butcher

>Only four states in the entire country have a law that even mentions neural data. There is no federal protection. Your thoughts have fewer legal protections than your thumbprint.

>Elon Musk knows that. And he is moving fast.


>I found a facility that Travis County thinks is a ranch. The EPA has never visited it, not once in five years, even though it sits on the Colorado River in a watershed that feeds Austin's drinking water. The animals being used there are registered to a UPS Store mailbox in Fremont, California. And yet the state environmental agency doesn't call it a ranch. It calls it a Commercial Research Facility. One where over 600 animals have undergone brain surgery.


>And then on March 31, 2026, Neuralink's General Counsel signed a new LLC into existence at that address. It's called Neuralink Surgery Center LLC. There is no surgery center license on file in Texas.


>This is the company that wants inside your skull.


>The full investigation: thedreydossier.substack.com


tldr elon musk has been doing off the books brain experiments on monkeys. chips that can control the brain. next step is people. an LLC neuralink surgery was just registered this year. it wouldn't be surprising that they have already experimented with all the misiing ICE refugees.

STOP USING FIREFOX!

Use Dillo. It only has ~80,000 lines of code. That's smaller than some terminal browsers, even. Firefox and Chromium are like operating systems w/ 10s of millions of lines of code. That's why compiling Firefox on Gentoo is a fucking nightmare. With Dillo, it just takes a few seconds. And minus the proprietary js attack surface since it comes without it because it's a legacy browser with its own engine instead of using Google/Apple like Otter browser or Suckless Surf.

Crime Anime

was thinking about how ive never seen an anime with legitimately criminal protags. every "crime" anime either revolves around A. vigilantes or B. criminals targeting other criminals, aka its easily justifiable and theres no real dilemmas. no drug dealers, no robbers, no organ thieves etc
great pretender almost did this in the first episode with the protag being a legitimate convict who scams civilians. then they said "actually now he works for an informal looney tunes crime syndicate that somehow has hundreds of actors on their payroll and can do literally anything lmao" which was super lame

>The wealth of societies where the mode of production of sex reigns appears as a “huge collection of penises and vaginas,” and masturbation as its elementary form. Our investigation therefore begins with an analysis of masturbation. Masturbation is, first and foremost, an external action, a practice that, through its characteristics, satisfies human needs of one kind or another. The nature of these needs—whether, for example, they arise from self-masturbation or masturbation by a third party—does not alter the issue in any way.

Neoconservatism

Can we get a Neocon breadpill thread going?

What exactly was Neoconservatism and how exactly did it originate? Was it the philosophy of Leo Strauss? Was it former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol? If so, why did these ex-Trots flip and become right-wingers? Politically, it started in America with the Reagan presidency, so what exactly were Reagan's political influences? Also, given that its biggest proponents were Jews, did it have any Talmudic or Kabbalistic element to it?

Basically, sum up whatever Neoconservatism is. Also, Straussian Neocons formed coalitions with the Religious Right and free market neoliberals despite all three groups having contradictory ideologies. Why?
