AI Will Be Used to Build Socialism

The debate over whether AI is “ethical” is mired in petit-bourgeois moralism. Technology itself doesn’t create suffering — capitalism does. The real question isn’t whether AI should exist, but how it can be used for human benefit instead of private profit.

The outrage toward AI is highly selective. People claim it “steals,” as if corporations haven’t been extracting labour, culture, and data for decades. They claim AI is destroying the environment — meanwhile, online video streaming accounts for the majority of global internet traffic and emits far more CO₂ than AI use does today. According to The Shift Project, an hour of streaming produces roughly 55 g of CO₂, and a typical Netflix user emits around 17 kg of CO₂ every month. Pornography alone occupies a huge portion of global bandwidth. Yet no one demands the abolition of streaming; our habits and pleasures are completely normalised.

Before attacking AI, remember that streaming culture is part of the spectacle of late capitalism: endless passive entertainment that keeps people distracted while the system churns on. People fixate on AI because it is new and unfamiliar — not because it is the true driver of ecological or social harm.

What is never discussed is the role AI could play outside capitalism. Under a rationally organised, democratically planned socialist economy, AI could become an instrument of genuine human emancipation. AI could eliminate monotonous labour, optimise resource allocation, reduce systemic waste, plan production in real time, expand access to education and culture, and coordinate complex systems on a scale no bureaucracy could ever achieve. Instead of reinforcing exploitation, AI could free people from it — shortening the working day, expanding leisure, and allowing individuals to participate meaningfully in cultural and intellectual life.

In other words: AI is not inherently exploitative. It simply reflects the system into which it is born. Under capitalism, it becomes another tool for profit extraction. Under socialism, it becomes a tool for human development. The question is not whether AI should be used, but who controls it — capital or society.

Whatever

It just hit me we dont have any general chit-chat threat, so here it is. Post whatever you want, share whatever you want.
R: 3 / I: 3
What do you feel about this world? Maybe humanity in general. I feel like I never really liked it I think even before I was ever really "lefty" to any extent. My dad was a thirdworlder ML revolutionary before he gave that up. My uncle of the same name as me died in the field for the ML thing. Don't want to doxx myself giving too many specifics. My dad didn't raise me ML or Marxist or anything, but I guess he had a lot of his same tendencies that I probably absorbed although I was different back then.

I don't have a hatred of people, I just have a strong dislike. The only people I ever feel like I relate to are like the fucking hobos although I have never committed so far as to be one of them and I guess I was blessed to not to ever be one of them. Honestly I can't relate to the average person. It's like they're not even real people. These people wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire because they would be thinking about their liability or who knows what. Honestly the only real people are the ones with nothing to lose. Everyone that has something thinks of that first and foremost in every interaction. I hate it. I don't want to be Holden Caulfield, but really you're all phonies. I think I will make that the OP image for my rant.

I hate babies 👶

I fucking hate babies so much, they are so stupid because they don't do anything but cry and sit around and expect people to feed them with nothing in return. They are also dumb because they can't even walk or talk. Also they kinda scare me because they are one of life's big mysteries since nobody knows where they come from.

The Global US Appeasement Strategy

As blatant US aggression has been rising the past few months, from bombing Iran to colour revolutions (CIA coups) in South East Asia, trade war with China, escalations in Africa, genocides, stealing Venezuelan ships and striking Russian ones in international waters, the reaction globally has been basically non-existant. Nobody, and I mean nobody has been retaliating at all to discourage the US from this, well, terror campaign, even countries that would have more than enough means to hurt the US back. I'm not asking for war obviously, but there are many other things one could do. But instead, the world seems to have collectively decided to do nothing, which only appeases the US and encourages more aggression, because, as we know, Westerners interpret restraint as weakness.

What is the rationale behind this? I don't understand. Have all countries, run by various ideologies, suddenly lost their sense for self-preservation or is there some big 4D chess play I'm missing?

TRVTHNVKE

Non-binary and other invented genders aren't truly gender identities. If you look at what they post, you'll realize they're primarily experiencing a coming-of-age complex, wanting to return to their pre-pubescent, gender-neutral childhood.
But this isn't gender dysphoria, and non-binary people often don't take any hormones and, after a couple of years, become normal adults.
Yet, they often speak on behalf of the LGBT community, and many liberals support this, even though, in reality, they're cisgender heterosexuals with youthful maximalism and some personality disorders.

Rust

What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.
On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.

Of course someone like Nietzsche would say that you should do it because virtue is its own right but most of the people who affirm this philosophy are chuds seeking an excuse to harm people, like Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment, or some terrorist justifying bombing civilians, which is a completely different dimension from taking harm to yourself and your loved ones.

Iran overturns death sentence for Kurdish leftist leader Verisheh Moradi
Verisheh Moradi, a member of the Community of Free Women of Eastern Kurdistan (KJAR) who previously fought against the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria, has been on death row in Iran since November 2024 over her support for the Mahsa Amini protests. The state accused her of "armed rebellion" for backing the protests, which broke out after the death of a Kurdish woman arrested in Tehran for "inappropriate hijab".

Bangladesh’s BNP seeks Hasina’s liberal mantle before elections
Addressing party supporters this week, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rehman invoked the blood-soaked memory of Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War against Pakistan, saying “people saw” what happened then. He did not name the Jamaat, but the reference was clearly understood across Bangladesh: The Jamaat had opposed Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan. He also accused the Jamaat of misusing religion to seek votes.

Why is it that right-wing pipelines/propaganda are so much more prevalent than left-wing propaganda?

Hello, new user here so please excuse my naivety or possible ignorance.

As I've spent the past few months trying to research history and further define my own political identity, I've fallen down a rabbit-hole from mainstream social media platforms to smaller imageboards (such as this one, which has particularly interested me!).

I was hoping to hear some of your own conclusions as to why it's so much more common to see people fall for right-wing pipelines and propaganda, and whether or not it makes them stupid or just gullible. I started to research niche right-wing online communities (which I will avoid mentioning by name) and have noticed their significant influence despite their small size, and their sheer output of content.

My theory is that right-wing politics provide short, simple answers to complicated issues. Because of that, it's easy to build a community that produces content which mocks people who provide answers that can't be explained in a single paragraph. Also the fact that this content is played off as simply a joke or absurdist humor rather than legitimate propaganda.

Again, sorry if this sounds dumb or has an obvious answer!

Mass Surveillance

Australia just implemented a child social media ban making websites and apps make you verify if you’re over 17. Now I do believe that we must regulate these social media platforms because they are full of pedophiles but none of this is about that. If they really cared about that they wouldn’t have exempted Roblox, Discord, and LinkedIn from the ban. This is so you have to insert your information so that those websites can sell your information to AI mega corporations for the purpose of mass surveillance. Internet anonymity is dying!

Western Marxism Conspiracy Theory by Stalinists Chuds

How much value do you put it into Western Marxism (Trotzkyism) being Anti Communism. This is often spouted by the ACP etc.

From the small Marxist communist circles I know, opposing USSR or the CCP is not anti-communist, but actually a principle of simply upholding workers first principles. I mean it's that simple - worshipping and being campist to some kind of state is not Marxist in the slightest.

How can communists in the imperial core be normal?

Not really sure how to explain the problem. It just seems in general like there's an extreme lack of interpersonal skills, patience, pragmatism and empathy for others. IDK just seems very dysfunctional.

Machine Learning general. So anybody here actually do any ML programming? I just installed PyTorch yesterday and actually started training some shit. It was pretty easy to get working. But… I am a dumb dumb, so I am going to go back and learn all the basics I think, because I have delusions that maybe I'll be able to do something interesting with it, but I know unless I'm really knowledgeable about it, the probability is less than zero.

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"

This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

Socialism AI

On Friday, December 12, 2025, the World Socialist Web Site, the online publication of the International Committee of the Fourth International, will launch Socialism AI, a chatbot that will use the power of amplified human cognition to advance the development of socialist consciousness in the international working class.

Socialism AI will expand and accelerate the education of workers, student youth, progressive intellectuals and artists on the basis of the world scientific outlook of Marxism. It will prepare them for the irrepressible escalation of the international class conflict.

For the ruling class, AI’s role creates new means of intensifying exploitation, displacing labor and increasing profits.

But, paradoxically, AI technology also makes possible an unprecedented expansion of knowledge and social consciousness.

Technology does not lead automatically to the improvement of the human condition. Without politically conscious mass action, guided by scientific Marxist theory, technological advances under capitalism intensify the exploitation of the working class and threaten the destruction of the planet.

Therefore, the problem of bringing into proper alignment the development of technology and the interests of the working class must be solved. The socialist movement must make use of the most advanced tools available for the education and unification of the working class.

That is the significance of Socialism AI, which will gather, clarify and make accessible the theoretical, historical and political experience of more than 150 years of the Marxist movement, above all, the heritage defended by the Fourth International.

Its aim is not to substitute technology for politics, or algorithms for revolutionary leadership. On the contrary, it is to assist the development of consciousness by overcoming the barriers of distance, language, specialization and time. A worker in Detroit, a student in São Paulo, a nurse in Johannesburg, a young intellectual in Mumbai will pose questions about theory, history, economics, philosophy and politics—and receive answers grounded not in the lies of the ruling class but in the scientific method of historical materialism and in the accumulated strategic experience of the international working class.

The experiences of exploitation, war and crisis can radicalize millions, but without a conscious, historically informed perspective, they can also produce confusion, disorientation and despair. The working class requires a memory of its own struggle, a theory that explains its position in society and a program that links immediate demands to the conquest of power.

Only a Marxist party can provide this. Socialism AI will be a powerful weapon in the struggle against capitalism, a 21st century interactive encyclopedia of socialism, continuously enriched and corrected through the practice of the revolutionary movement itself and the participation of its readers.

At this point, objections may be raised: “But is not AI itself dangerous? Can it not be used for surveillance, for manipulation, for censorship, for the perfection of dictatorship?”

Of course, it can. That is already happening. But this is neither new nor unique to AI. Every great technological advance in history has been double-edged. The printing press was used to publish both revolutionary tracts during the Reformation and reactionary sermons and papal bulls. The telegraph and railway networks served the needs of capital and empire, but they also knit together the national working classes and made possible coordinated action on a scale that had never previously existed. Radio and cinema became instruments of fascist propaganda—but at the same time powerful means of artistic and political education.

It is necessary to address a widespread source of ideological confusion: the designation of AI as “artificial intelligence.” The term has been repeated so incessantly—and with so little precision—that it obscures more than it clarifies. It creates the impression of something mystical, autonomous, somehow divorced from human thought, and therefore either wondrously omnipotent or terrifyingly alien.

The phrase “artificial intelligence” suggests that we stand in the presence of a kind of counterfeit or ersatz intelligence. Yet we do not speak this way about any other technological extension of human capacity.

We do not call a forklift or a hydraulic press an “artificial muscle,” though it multiplies human physical power many thousands of times. We do not describe riding a bicycle, driving a car or boarding a jetliner as “artificial running” or “artificial flight.”

Modern telescopes no longer rely solely on visible light but detect invisible electromagnetic radiation—radio, infrared, X-ray and gamma—thereby vastly extending the sensory powers of humanity.

These technologies amplify human capability; they do not replace its essence.

Why, then, this insistence on labeling computational systems as “artificial intelligence”? The term is not scientifically neutral. It mystifies technology by implying that intelligence can be somehow fabricated in isolation from human intellectual labor, as if it were an autonomous substance that can be synthesized like a chemical compound.

This is not merely inaccurate; it is ideologically useful to the ruling class. It encourages passivity. It encourages awe. And it encourages the belief that the technology exists above and beyond social control.

In reality, what is called “AI” is better understood as augmented intelligence—an extension and amplification of human intellectual labor. Its foundations lie in centuries of accumulated human practice and knowledge: logic, mathematics, linguistics, engineering, computer science, and the collective experience of billions of people using and generating language, images and data. The algorithms do not invent meaning; they learn from vast human-generated corpora. Their architecture is designed by human engineers; their parameters are shaped and refined by human intervention; their failures reveal the limits of human training, not the existence of some alien mind.

The intelligence is not artificial; the automation is. What AI systems automate are operations—classification, search, retrieval, pattern recognition, language prediction—that previously required specific forms of human labor.

The term “augmented intelligence” emphasizes not a break with humanity but a deep continuity. It recognizes that these systems are built on human labor and knowledge, shaped by human purpose and deployed to amplify human capabilities. And most importantly, it clarifies the essential social and political issues at stake.

If AI is an augmentation of human intelligence, then the question is not what “it” will do, but who controls it, in whose interests it is developed and for what social ends it is used.

In the hands of the capitalist oligarchy, AI is being deployed to intensify exploitation, expand surveillance, manipulate populations and wage war. But this does not arise from any inherent malevolence in the technology itself. It arises from the imperatives of profit, competition, militarism and private capitalist ownership.

To fear “AI” as an autonomous threat is to misidentify the problem. The danger does not lie in the machine but in the class that wields that machine.

The intellectuals and artists who fear that AI will smother individual creativity, and who oppose this technology as a threat to “intellectual property,” not only accept uncritically the bourgeois commodification of science and art but also fail to recognize that their work, so essential for human progress, can be defended only through the social struggle against all forms of capitalist property.

AI does not depersonalize “intellectual” labor in some narrow sense. It is the outcome of the entire historical evolution of human labor and culture—of the process, described by Marx, in which humanity opposes itself to nature as one of nature’s own forces. This historical activity is the basis of the development of human consciousness. As Marx explained: “The forming of the five senses is a labor of the entire history of the world down to the present.”

AI is a product of the human mind as it has been formed by millennia of physical and intellectual labor. It embodies the human capacity to analyze, abstract, symbolize and model the world. Controlled democratically—subordinated to social need rather than private accumulation—it will become one of the most powerful instruments for human emancipation ever created. It will reduce the burden of labor, shorten the working day, expand access to education and allow billions to participate in cultural and scientific life at levels previously unimaginable.

And, as it is increasingly integrated into the work of artists, it will provide a powerful new impulse for the cognition of the world and the vast range of human experience and emotion.

Handyman Exploitation

I had an argument with my anarcho-radlib autistic adhd CPTSD nonbinary GF and we live in a rental unit. The toilet broke and I put in a maintenance request for the landlord to send a repair guy to fix it.

She said I should fix it myself and if a repairman came they might rape her and she was psychologically unsafe and also I was being classist by expecting to have a repairman repair my shit and exploiting their surplus value, and also racist because the repairman was likely going to be latino or black.

I said its normal to call the landlord to repair shit when it breaks rather than fix it yourself and also some shit you're not even allowed to fix yourself because if you fuck it up you can get in alot of trouble or at least lose your security deposit and possibly have to pay even more and its safer to just let the landlord send a repair guy.

Then she started crashing out and then she went to an internet cafe.

Am I the asshole here or is she right? Is using repair guys directly or indirectly exploiting them? Am I being a petit bourgeois or something by not repairing shit myself using home depot and either eating the cost or just trying to get the landlord expense that shit after the fact?

Knowing the real history of American radical left-wing groups, this film is far too generous about their capabilities.

How did Tumblr conquer the world?

How did Tumblr come to become so insanely influential in almost every social sphere? From scenes being taken over and only really enforcing "gatekeeping" based on Tumblrs values, to Social Academia and Universities enforcing Tumblr standards on students and staff and even the funding of research, to middle management forcing proles to sit through eye rolling incoherent Tumblr course nonsense, to Pop culture largely adapting entirely to Tumblr values and IP's one after the other being turned to only really appeal to Tumblr standards, to even gigagiant evil corpos like Blackrock enforcing Tumblr nonsense through many of their funding. The left itself has largely been taken over and had it's social values and political values rewritten to place primacy on Tumblr's takes on identity, you have actual politicians running for offices that sound like a 14 year old on Tumblr in 2014.
As someone who has been pretty familiar with Tumblr trends since the late 2000s it's been wild watching often what were trends and theories that were created by teenagers, get taken out of that context, to become mass political liberal/left establishment and middle management/academia talking points. It's also been very wild watching massive franchises, just get run roughshod over with Tumblr to the point that is actually obnoxious (WotC, DnD, Star Trek, Star Wars etc).
How did Tumblr do this? Reddit is technically a bigger site but has nowhere near this influence, 4chan was a bigger site back in the day, and again, not this influence at all. So how is it that I'm watching Politicians and business leaders, spout crap that was the domain of confused larping scene kids on Tumblr a decade ago?

PTA doesn't understand the left, Vineland or Fascism

I reread Vineland and rewatched One battle for this. Modern /tv/ is too stupid for this, /film/ and /lit/ would find it boring or wouldn't get the discussion. You'll probably get more mileage here than any of them would have because this isn't so much about the plot structure or anything.
Although yes, One Battle After Another is the "blockbusterization" of the original novel. In the original Zoyd (Bob) is a side character to Prairie (Willa) and is actually third "protag" to Frensei(Perfidia) and Brock Vond(Lockjaw) mostly because he also doesn't look for her, he goes off screen because he is the one who sends away Prairie to go to DL(Deandra) from the start to split up so Vond can't get them together. Also because the book is 50% flashbacks, and that's probably because this is Pynchons attempt to put various short stories together into an over arching plot, but it means most of the book isn't action heavy. In fact any and all action is sort of kept to a flashbacks and single shot or hand to hand 1 on 1 combat.
This is because PTA doesn't understand the left or what Vineland had to say about it. Thanatoids are a big aspect of the original book. Thanatoids are debatable but are ultimately just Pynchons way of describing the average person becoming a treatlerite in first world nations due to immediate comfort and entertainment being granted to them, especially in the 80s, of which ones like Weed Atman, a leader of the 2nd major left wing org in the book, who was thought dead, is a part of. The entire thing is a massive critique on how quickly pacified the entire American left is, and PTA completely flushes it down the toilet for quick scenes of Mexicans fighting riot police.
In the actual book, whenever the army and cops get involved, the thanatoids don't do shit. DL (Deandra) and Takeshi (Sergio or at least close as possible to them in the book) take back Prairie with them to check out the situation at the same time the rest of her family go back to Vineland, and they note how scared everyone is and none of them do shit.
This is because the entire book this is just part of life too to a lesser measure, Americans are absolutely fine with fascist like regimes and PMCs strolling their streets as long as it doesn't affect them, it's only when Brock Vond starts to push it a little too hard that they get upset enough to be scared. Not act, just get scared.
-In fact earlier in the book during a flashback it's made clear during Weed Atman's day the entire reason people run to him and create a leftist org centered on him is because an ex Nazi working for the DEA is already doing what Brock does in the future by riding around in a helicopter for CAMP and ruling the local Cali county with an iron fist. This implies before Vond there was already someone else doing this, and there "always will be" in a sense, who ends up being replaced because Vond is the one who pacifies Atman and his org with Frensei as his pawn, not the Nazi who isn't even aware of the op going on.
-In the first (or 2ndish) chapter Zoyd gets a scare after a squad raids a restaurant he's at only for it to be revealed they're a private security army for a local asylum trying to capture ex DEA Hector. Who is not in the movie because PTA reduced a lot of it and Hector kind of just exists to be an easy out for Frensei.
It's pretty apparent how hopeless the situation is by the end as they eventually all come back to Vineland and no one does anything, Zoyd plans on eventually trying to get some guns and taking the fight to Vond, but so many people tried assassinating Vond that he knows it's impossible, so it's of no surprise that even as they hide out in the woods Vond finds them pretty easily and kidnaps Prairie for like 5 minutes.
Which brings me to Brock Vond himself, Vond in the novel is pretty clear cut evil fascist I'd say that his character in the movie, although entertaining is pretty much a liberalized white washing based on "racism is bad."
Yeah racism is bad, but Vond is as fascist as it gets, he doesn't see race because he is outright Lombrosian. He goes around measuring criminals skulls and considers them non human regardless of race. He might send people to impersonate him unknowingly and get them killed but putting innocents in danger is the most innocent thing he's done compared to how he views the world.
In the movie we don't get half as many flashbacks to Vond (Lockjaw) who is a DEA prosecutor in the book that looks like RFK Sr and is a vampire, in the movie he's just shown as this racist colonel following orders who eventually gets told "Oh yeah join our racist society for 30% discounts at McDonalds only if you kill your black daughter." In the book though Vond is probably the best fictional fascist ever. He doesn't get any one reason for the way he is but multiple. His first memory is laughing at the tv so hard he thinks he's going to choke to death only for the pain of throwing up to break up the loop and as a child becoming alienated from the notion of joy brough on by modern artificial society aka "the tube" bringing it about before he's ready for it. This makes Vond grow isolated from himself, and eventually he locks away parts of himself he's afraid of as much as everyone is afraid of him, his "anima" which grows just as vengeful as the rest of him. Brought about by a deep hatred of capitalist societies contradictions propping up through left wing groups filling him with rage, he psychologically becomes domineering and manipulative. He's no physical threat, he barely even has a gun, but he doesn't just get off on sexually assaulting women, he actively worms his way into others minds, acting like a dark vampiric figure sucking their energy and acting through them. His transformation becomes so apparent that there's a fun scene in the book where he goes on a plane and a little girl instantly clocks his aura and starts screaming he's going to molest her so he uses his diplomatic power to get her and her mother kicked off.
Which is why Brock also doesn't give a shit deep down if Prairie is his daughter. PTA clearly just didn't get the book because the fact is Vond only wanted to abduct Prairie just to play with his food. In the movie it's a center point because he needs her dead but in the book it's clear Vond doesn't give a shit, he plans on killing them all because they aren't humans, and the only reason he did it then is because he finally had Atman, DL, Frensei, Zoyd, and who knows how many more ex hippies living there to finally kill under the guise of the war on drugs. Prairie is blonde and blue eyed like Frensei in the book, but like the Nazis, Brock doesn't give a shit, in his puritanical and violent mentality these "criminals" are a different breed and not human. He never stopped hating communists enough to shift enemies which is why Regan cut his funding right as he thought he won. The book even mentions he never wanted kids or gave it much thought, letting Zoyd keep Prairie for years on end because he was an actual fascist who felt crusade and war mattered above all, and child raising was just a NPC retarded goycattle act, and these are practically Pynchons exact words. To make it even more concrete Pynchon sets the novel a year prior to the first forensic DNA test. Prairie see's more of her features in her dad after not seeing him for a while, implying Brock isn't the dad in the book, but the fact it is it doesn't matter. Not even because "Durr Bob raised her." But because Vond never would have seen her as anything more than an abomination he would have aborted in her mothers womb if he had the chance anyway. That's why Prairie says "My blood type is A, yours is Preparation H." Vond isn't even human by the end his fascism has transformed him into something else completely.
Credit where credit is due his death is pretty equivalent in book and movie, in the book he steals a helicopter and revolver after military support is cut and he is called back to DC, presumably to try and kill everyone on his shitlist by himself but crashes it then his soul has to be escorted to the afterlife by Blood and Vato, two characters who are implied to be modern shaman types who tow a car in a area near bigfoot earlier in the book just to set them up that way– it's a whole thing. Likewise in the movie he crashes a car after his own support network turns on him and survives only to be killed later, surreally enough to be a believable dying fantasy. It's pretty cool but it alone isn't enough to make up for the fact that PTA stripped so much out of the novel it kind of misses the entire point and actively just defangs many of its messages. Yeah I'm aware it isn't a adaptation of Vineland, just "inspired by" but here's the thing:
I think in the worst way possible PTA sort of contributes to this in a cosmically ironic sort of way. Vond and the thanatoids are either birthed or controlled by the tube, which is a metaphor for the modern worlds consumerist spectacle. By stripping the book of these complexities to make it a topical modern antifa vs the chud ICE military wignats he sort of just contributes to both the pacifying critical thinking through reducing aspects or the enraging people into further fascism aspect. The book is very much about how Frensei and 24fps intended on using film to spread awareness of leftism, only for the world they end up bringing their children to, to have pacified them further on top of birthing their worst enemies. The further I compare the two the more depressed I realize that every time some lib blindly praises it on Letterbox'd or reddit we are just guaranteed that this thanatoid world will continue for another century or more at least.
Well there you have it that's my analysis. The left has been pacified, maybe it never even existed, and fascism neither prevails nor dies, it just continues business as usual.

How do I get over my hatred of masculine men? All throughout my school years I was relentlessly bullied by jocks and such because I wasnt into typical masculine things and because i was too emotional. Ive felt extreme resentment towards masculinity ever since.

The only men im able to be attracted too are other feminine boys like myself, aswell as older men. Meanwhile it seems like the vast majority of gays feel attraction almost exclusively to hyper-masculine men, and talk about their attraction like being attracted to masculinity is an inherent part of being gay. It has made me feel so isolated and made me feel invalidated in my sexuality.

Part of me feels like masculinity is inherently evil, I feel like it encourages meanness, arrogance, and cruelty by its design. Plus, seeing masculine guys constantly get praised while every other type of male never gets anywhere near as much love, it just makes me even angrier. My resentment is so deep-seated at this point that im not fully sure if I can even change it.

The Holy Bible

What's the leftypol take on this book? I'm not trolling - it's existence has haunted my life. I was raised catholic… Christianity has both ruined & saved my life and my opinions on it have only gotten more complex.

Some of the greatest art of all time has been religiously motivated. But the question of Christianity specifically is a big one. On one hand all manner of brown people are more sincerely christian than a lot of white people have ever been. It might be the one thing saving Africa right now!

But on the other hand The first Roman Empire & Greek empire were polytheistic & they might have achieved a civilizational peak that surpasses the situation we live in right now. Christianity is very homophobic & a huge portion of Europe/UK demographics are atheist & seem to be some of the happiest nations on earth. Christianity might even be the reason that the Roman Empire fell & is responsible for a lot of really bad imperialism & colonialism.

What am I supposed to make of it? Jesus was surely a good man, no? The word of god has saved homeless, sick, and morally corrupt. Where does the justification to do evil come from when people read this?

>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

General strike in Portugal causes major disruptions in national services
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has insisted that the labour reforms, with more than 100 measures, were intended to “stimulate economic growth and pay better salaries”. But the communist-leaning General Confederation of the Portuguese Worker (CGTP) and more moderate General Union of Workers (UGT) have lambasted the plans. The CGTP organised about 20 demonstrations across the country. Its secretary-general, Tiago Oliveira, called the reforms “among the biggest attacks on the world of work”.

France Unbowed 'has become a target' of the UAE, Melenchon says
“LFI has become a target of the Emirates,” he wrote on his blog on Tuesday, shortly after his party, the largest left-wing group in parliament, filed a complaint to the public prosecutor regarding a highly controversial poll on Muslims in France, suggesting it could be part of an Emirati “influence operation” in the country. The survey, which suggests that there is “a phenomenon of 're-Islamisation'" in France "accompanied by a worrying increase in adherence to Islamist ideology”, has been the subject of several legal complaints from Muslim organisations, who accused it of being “based on biased questions” to spread “the poison of hatred in the public sphere”.

Argentina's Milei submits labor reform proposal to Congress
The proposed labor bill will seek to give employers more flexibility on working hours and vacations, as well as modify the system of severance pay in order to reduce costs for companies. It also provides financial incentives for employers to hire workers on-the-books and allows salaries to be paid in foreign currencies. Unions have strongly opposed the bill, which also states that unions must receive authorization from employers to hold assemblies in the workplace and characterizes a union takeover or obstruction of entry to a workspace as a "very grave" infraction.

Indian farmers protest new seed bill, calling it a threat to the country’s sovereignty
The proposed bill will establish MNC control over the supply of seeds, ending the existing arrangement, which provides greater flexibility to the farmers to source the required seeds from local or public sectors. The control of MNCs will endanger indigenous varieties, public institutions, and traditional/informal seed networks and “bring disaster for sustenance farming in India,” claims SKM in a statement. The bill will leave the crop cycle in India at the mercy of the MNCs.

He later said that despite his personal desire to resign, he would let the next government decide his future. “If they tell me they plan to choose their own president, I will step aside,” he said late on Thursday. Opinion polls suggest the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of former prime minister Khaleda Zia and the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami will be the frontrunners to form the next government.

Symbols

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the mainstream symbols of transgender identity?
The flag has colors that look too childish and it doesn’t make sense. If you go by the official meaning of the colors, then the flag should actually be a tricolor with white in the middle. I’m sorry, but I couldn't find an apolitical variant With the current flag, it feels like if you want to become enby while being AMAB, you’d first have to become MtF and then enby.
The symbol ⚧️ has no historical context. It’s not even a planetary symbol like Mars ♂ and Venus ♀. I’ve heard that the Mercury symbol ☿ used to represent hermaphrodites/androgynes. I don’t like it either, but it’s clearly closer to us and actually has historical context.

Do your parents know about your political ideology?

Do they? And if not will you ever tell them? Or if so then how did they find out? do they agree with you, agree to disagree with you, or shun you from the family?
I know the answer because your mom told me last night when I was having sex with her.
