<“There is, in general, a move away from organized religions and toward spirituality,” says Helen Berger, an author and sociologist of contemporary Paganism and witchcraft. Female empowerment and gay rights movements, the climate crisis, and a desire for a more life-affirming religion have fueled interest in the growing spiritual community, she adds.
Paganism and neopaganism (i.e. wicca) are rising. Partly it is a reaction against secularization, the dialectical antithesis of secularism is post-secularism. The stereotype of the pagan is either an astrology thot, a young usually white woman who has liberal/left politics. The other stereotype is the far right skinhead Odinist or Satanist who believes christianity is a jewish plot to destroy the trve aryan people's spirituality.
Logically if you think of it the modes of production
Primitive Communism -> Animism
Slave/Classical Antiquity -> Paganism
Feudalism -> Monotheism
Capitalism -> Secularism
Logically we only have one long lived example of a non commodity producing society, of hunter gatherer primitive communism which didn't correspond to atheism, but rather animism. I think this means that Wicca and other eclectic versions of paganism (not reconstruction/revivalist history nerds) is a positive development.
Paganism: Based or Not
>Modern paganism, also known as contemporary paganism and neopaganism, is a term for a religion or a family of religions which is influenced by the various historical pre-Christian beliefs of pre-modern peoples in Europe and adjacent areas of North Africa and the Near East. Although they share similarities, contemporary pagan movements are diverse and as a result, they do not share a single set of beliefs, practices, or texts. Scholars of religion often characterise these traditions as new religious movements. Some academics who study the phenomenon treat it as a movement that is divided into different religions while others characterize it as a single religion of which different pagan faiths are denominations.<“There is, in general, a move away from organized religions and toward spirituality,” says Helen Berger, an author and sociologist of contemporary Paganism and witchcraft.

>Since its independence in 1824, Venezuela has claimed the area of land to the west of the Essequibo River. Simón Bolívar wrote to the British government warning against the Berbice and Demerara settlers settling on land which the Venezuelans, as assumed heirs of Spanish claims on the area dating to the 16th century, claimed was theirs. In 1899, an international tribunal ruled that the land belonged to Great Britain.
In recent years a load of oil/gas was found there by Exxon, and now it's one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Venezuela has been building up troops in the region for a while, and assuaging the nervous international community that they're merely fighting smugglers in the area. Now they're talking about referendums on annexation and have supposedly already moved troops into the area.

Amirite?
Rightoids like capitalism because it generates inequality but they just want that inequality to be arbitrarily racist. They get mad about corporations going "woke" because it exposes their spooks as completely meaningless in the face of capital.

What does /leftypol/ think about this franchise and the online subculture it spawned? I feel like now that the little girls who made up the target audience are young adults I’ve been seeing more zoomers tell stories about how they were “traumatized” by the adult fandom and it’s becoming more in vogue to decry the whole “brony” phenomenon as “problematic”.
On the other hand though what’s the sociological explanation for millions of grown men becoming obsessed with a little girls cartoon in spite of hegemonic Western gender norms? I’ve read a lot of conflicting theories from academics and culture critics regarding this. Is it autism? Post-Irony? Or is there something about it that just makes it genuinely appealing?

execute order 66 on silicon valley. the whole point of digital entities is that they can be copied and pasted easily and infinitely without any kind of interference. But more and more web developers, in defense of "intellectual property" specifically and "private property" more generally are trying to reverse the economic development of computing to more closely resemble the era of print, when, if you wanted some text, you had to copy it by hand, or type it out on a typewriter, or God forbid, buy the damn book, or drive to the library.
How much more are they going to encroach on us with this parasitic, rent-seeking bullshit? Will they start manufacturing keyboards without a printscreen button? Are they going to start charging you for each character you type? Are they going to stop letting you copy text that's in your web browser? Will they equip every OS with a keylogger to make sure you aren't violating copyright law when you ctrl+c and ctrl+v? Are they going to start wrapping every single fucking thing that used to be easy to rightclick->copy in seven layers of javascript nonsense so that you can no longer access it?
And increasingly every web application's bloated and unoptimized front end is written to pander to mouth breathing phone and tablet users who never knew you could do this stuff in the first place. Soon you won't even be able to right click stuff at all, because that's obscure. That's a privilege only developers should have. End users are too stupid everything should be done through left click only.
We're building a web app for an engineering firm at my job and our client asked us to remove all keyboard shortcuts because they're too confusing for users.
The kind Vladimir Ilyich would have shot everyone here.

Talk space socialism to me. Was recently rewatching a few series with my fiance, both old and new Trek, and we both feel like Deep Space 9 is our favorite series (closely followed by TNG).Everything else in order from best-to-worst would be:
Deep Space 9
The Next Generation
Voyage Home
Wrath of Khan
Undiscovered Country
Enterprise

You‘ve probably heard claims before such as
<„Consciousness collapses the wave function“
<„The collapse of the wave function produces a parallel universe for each possible outcome“
<„A particle could be anywhere until it is observed“
Much of this is straight up bullshit and some claims are an aberration of technically correct statements turned fantastical and far fetched.
First of all, „observe“ is misleadingly phrased. This gives credence to a consciousness-centered explanation of the wave function‘s collapse as people think of a person looking at something when they hear the word „observe“. By „observe“ physicists actually mean that a device physically interacts with something to measure a physical property. We aren‘t simply looking at something when we „observe“, instead we are physically interacting with it.
Additionally, the wave function isn‘t real. The way this term is used it makes it sound like it‘s a physically existing entity in the world. It isn‘t. The wave function is a mathematical abstraction that describes that we approximately know where, for example, an electron is probably going to be, whilst lacking precise knowledge where exactly it is UNTIL we have „observed“ it, i.e. physically interacted with it through a device that pinpoints this incredibly small object that we could otherwise not locate. The „collapse“ of the wave function is having moved from probabilistic knowledge to discrete knowledge. „Collapse“ yet again makes it sound like as if we are dealing with a materially real thing when in fact the term is just a mere abstractions describing the amount of knowledge we have about something on the quantum scale.
The wave function is not collapsed by consciousness. Your consciousness is the emergent product of neurochemical processes inside of your brain that are stimulated by your senses translating physical stimuli onto your body into electrical impulses carried by your nerves, such as light stimulating your retina or pressurized air physically pushing your eardrums. There is no physical interaction between the activity inside of your skull and an electron „that “chooses” to go through one or both slits in the double slit experiment“. Your consciousness didn‘t influence anything. What did was a device that physically interacts with the electron which bore an influence on its trajectory and behavior.
Likewise, the wave function is „collapsed“ in macro scale objects not because of consciousness but because these numerous particles on a quantum scale are interacting with each other in a confined space which limits their movement. You end up with a larger material object whose behavior is described by classical physics.
The claim that the collapse of the wave function „leads“ to the creation of parallel universes for each possible scenario is utterly baseless. The word „leads“ implies there is a physical and causal relationship between „the collapse of this wave function“ and the creation of a whole fucking universe (lol). Remember that the wave function is just a mathematical abstraction that describes how much we know about the properties of a quantum object. This should go without saying, but there is no physical and causal relationship between the amount of knowledge changing that we have about a physical system and that leading to the creation of a parallel universe. It‘s a baseless claim.
Fun fact, when Schrödinger created his thought experiment, now known as Schrödinger‘s Cat, he wasn‘t describing that it were real that a cat was „both dead and alive at the same time“ when trapped in a box with a toxic substance that would be released if some quantum mechanism was observed. He was ridiculing such a scenario that is founded on the Kopenhagener Interpretation of quantum physics. Actual physicists (should) know this, but popsci content will still frame it as a serious thought experiment, or as not a thought experiment at all but as something that actually happens.
Finally, once you understand all the nonsense regarding this field you have to ask yourself, why would such archaic interpretations spanning back roughly a hundred years ago still be so prevalent? It‘s because the vast majority of people will either not have the intelligence or time to study all of the details themselves. They are therefore reliant on actual scientists giving them illustrative and watered down explanations to acquire an at least vague understanding of the real thing. Two things have led to the persistence of these obviously moronic theories.
1) There is a sect of physicists that have a personal affinity to religion/spirituality/metaphysics which makes them favor such an interpretation of quantum physical processes. The Many Worlds Hypothesis is not debunked per se, but it‘s unscientific and can‘t be proven. It‘s as if I said: Whenever I fart on Taco Tuesday there will be a new parallel universe created. How? I don‘t know. Can you prove there isn‘t a new parallel universe whenever I fart? Haha, gotcha! Guess you have to seriously consider my bullshit now. It‘s the same line of reasoning by religious people. „You can‘t prove that God doesn‘t exist!“
2) There is a money to be made with popsci. As said, the general public is reliant on scientists making difficult subjects understandable to them with no deeper knowledge of those subjects. By making science as magical and fantastical as you can get away with while retaining the trustworthiness and prestige of science you can build a larger audience. I mean, wouldn‘t it be cool if portals to infinite parallel universes were real and you could use warp drives to fly to other galaxies? Magic can lead out of the boredom of a predictable and boring reality. Cluelessness about science can be abused to turn science into magic to give people the same thing they are seeking in magic, spirituality and religion. Some charlatans even try to prove magic, spirituality and religion with quantum physics.
So, I hope this has helped you to not fall for the bullshit. Maybe this all sounds obvious in hindsights but almost all popsci content online describes quantum physics in misleading terms and contrived interpretations. The truth about quantum physics is much more sober than that, but still it‘s rare to encounter a no bullshit explanation for quantum physics.
Idealism in Quantum Physics
This has annoyed me for a while and I would like to have addressed this for people who are also interested in this subject. I am not studied in physics and specifically quantum physics. I just take a general interest in this subject on the periphery of all the other things I am occupied with. When learning about physics through popsci videos and occasionally reading articles on the matter it has always bothered how nonsensical ideas and contrived theories are spread on this subject, and that shit needs to die.You‘ve probably heard claims before such as

When analyzing the matter deeper, we learn that the orcs were designed to represent the uyghurs, and Saruman and Sauron represent jews sending said uyghurs into Middle earth, representing white lands. Saruman (jew) gives the orcs (uyghurs) the mark of the white hand (intelligence quotient) and gives them technologically-advanced (white) seige engines so they are able to fight men, dwarves, and elves (white european tribes). Additionally, the hobbits represent white children. Tolkien is alluding to the 14 words by saying to his fellow reactionaries that they must destroy the jew/uyghur attack to defend the Shire if white children are to have a future. His moral meaning of being evil is being a gold-obsessed jew, represented by Sauron on his quest to retrieve the gold ring, and that future white generations (hobbits) are the key to destroying mammon through destroying the gold ring and refusing the jew's power (interest bearing loans). On the other hand, Smeagol represents the mutt, that was absolutely corrupted by the absolute power of mammon, and Tolkien uses him to serve as an example as to the fate of the white man if they get corrupted.
You would think science fiction would be the genre of silicon valley and Muskish techno-fetishism, but there is plenty of fantasy like the works of Tolkein that is basically a treatise on reactionism, which forms the root of hippie ideology. But there's something about the genre that gets too close to the essence of things. Not that it was important right now but is there any commentary on this? What do you think?
Tolkien's work is reactionary and lies at the root of neoliberalism
Why his reactionary fascist fantasy resonates with the "progressive" cultural revolution of the 1960s is the question. How is it that the most hypercapitalist neoliberalism became fused with feudalistic fantasies found in LOTR? How did fantasy become the literary genre of neoliberalism, or at least its true believers? We know he disavows of white supremacism (letter about "aryan" heritage), but I don't trust it. In his fictional universe, things seem pretty white supremacist. Heroes have to be of worthy ancestry, and Aragorn is described very often as the perfect human due to his heritage. Each and every conflict seems to be extremely black and white. Peasantry is of no importance, they are dirty, stupid and unwashed refugees. The most powerful societies are all feudalist/monarchist, good people have extreme amounts of wealth, colonialism is good, and when a society fails this is due to a greater power such as Morgoth and Sauron, not because of societal failure. After Saruman cut down the forest to build his siege weapons, the trees came down to destroy him. Through his, Tolkien represents feudalism as a flourishing society, and industrialism of Saruman and Sauron as evil. Some creatures have a greater innate value than others, with orcs being irredeemable and elves being immortal. Another recurring theme of his is the decay through time. The world is only becoming worse, it is mentioned that everything was perfect at some point in the past, and people do not have the power to "save" the world. Those are all rather reactionary ideas.When analyzing the matter deeper, we learn that the orcs were designed to represent the uyghurs, and Saruman and Sauron represent jews sending said uyghurs into Middle earth, representing white lands. Saruman (jew) gives the orcs (uyghurs) the mark of the white hand (intelligence quotient) and gives them technologically-advanced (white) seige engines so they are able to fight men, dwarves, and elves (white european tribes).

Take account of the all the facts
I can't simply can't pull off a dress
So in trenchcoat shall I be clad
When it comes time for speech
Calm and frankly should I speak
Pick my words at every step
And never let my tounge be slack
I might make a freudian slip
And let my inner thoughts be known
How I wish to be a maid
And have a skateboard of my own
I could be cute
I could be cool
But I would only be a fool

Despite the anguish laying there
As the sadness slowly fades

This isn't a social club, or a chat. We help one another not be lazy, work on projects. Give each other ideas, support one another, comment, criticise, give feedback, etc.
Support is the focus, so if you're gonna talk in memes, act like a dick, troll, or whatever, don't bother. Some level of maturity required.
Nothing illegal, no "bomb making", gore, nor porn. Provocative yes, edgy no. No commercial focus, all will be released as public domain / CC0.
If that sounds like something for you, drop your email (can be burner) or xmpp address, and I will contact you from a disroot email.
There will never be a fbi.gov, or a matrix chat. XMPP, email and newsletter. If you prefer to give your PGP key (if it is in some public keyserver) that is also fine.
No "entry interviews", no need to write about yourself, who you are or what you think you are. It's all about what you can do and create.

The Purpose of This Thread
I've seen about a dozen threads asking about Fascists: "Why are they like this?" "What is Fascism?" "Is Fascism Far Right?" "Is the modern KPRF Fascist?" "Why do laymen Nazis hate America?" "How did Hitler organize the Nazis?" "What does /leftypol/ think of <insert random Fascist here>"
These repetitive threads get a lot of attention and people end up retreading the same few questions, so I figured I'd make a general for all questions and inquiries into Fascism. Consider it a study group for a niche subject. Whether it be out of genuine curiosity or means of countering Fascist ideology, I'm hoping people can point to this thread instead of starting new ones or bumping a dozen different old ones.

Closing Statement
This thread is not for the propagation of Fascist ideals or apologism for Fascism. However, in some instances, I may practice a neutral tone when describing Fascism or give it the benefit of the doubt to better understand the Fascist psyche and its stated ideals. In that regard, I'll be treating Fascism as an alternative theory of social, political, and economic organization no more incapable or insidious than any other and not dismissing it out of hand.

Sonic the Hedgehog
I have a weird fascination with this franchise, particularly its fans. How do they remain so loyal when there's been maybe one or two good games in the last two decades in a sea of average-to-terrible garbage released year after year? How did Sega manage to take all the wrong lessons away from their colossal fuckups of the mid-late 2000s?

✊😜 - MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM WITH SOCIAL LIBERTARIAN CHARACTERISTICS: THE DIALECTICAL MATERIALIST PRAXIS OF KING LEAR - ✊😜
My eclectic ideology called Marxism-Leninism-Maoism with Social Libertarian Characteristics is based on a unique juxtaposition of highly divergent Marxist praxis in the Imperial Core and the Periphery/Semi-Periphery, due to the dramatically different material conditions and class consciousness in these two regions. Thus, in the Periphery/Semi-Periphery I advocate for the traditional Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Praxis of Protracted Peoples War against all Bourgeois Dictatorships (of both the Comprador and Imperialist variety), while in the Imperial Core I advocate for critically supporting Left-Liberals/Social Democrats in order to defeat Fascism and eventually implement a UBI (that would replace the current Means-Tested and Earned Benefits Social Safety Net and be funded by a VAT and Flat Income Tax) that will divorce Income from employment as the 4th Industrial Revolution Automates most of the Workforce, combined with the legalization of all Victimless Crimes (legalized Abortion, Birth Control, LGBTQIA+ rights, Sex Work, Drug Use, Gun Ownership, etc.) in order to Hyper-Rationalize the Superstructure (ie. destroying the power of Organized Religion, Patriarchy, Nationalism, Systemic Racism, etc), and a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy, with these policies essentially being a fusion of Social Democracy and Libertarianism, that I refer to as “Social Libertarianism: The New Synthesis of Liberalism”, ✊😜!
You are probably wondering how these two seemingly contradictory ideological positions for different regions of the world come together to form a coherent whole that will ultimately place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, 🤔? The answer is through the 4th Industrial Revolution of AI, E-Commerce, Self-Driving Cars, 3D printing, Quantum Computing, Advanced Robotics, etc. that will Automate the vast majority of the Global Workforce in the next several decades, with the effects of this dramatic transformation of the Productive Forces creating the conditions for a dramatic shift in the mode of production worldwide from Capitalism to Socialism, ✊😜!
The effects of this in the Periphery/Semi-Periphery, will be seen through the Automation of global supply chains (thus, reshoring these supply chains back to the Imperial Core) in the next few decades, combined with the Green Energy Revolution (thus, eliminating the need for Oil/Gas production worldwide), leading to the rapid economic collapse of cheap labor/“sweatshop” countries like China, India, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, etc. and Petrostates like Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc. that will leave all of these places ripe for successful Maoist PPWs that will sweep away all of these Bourgeois Comprador and Imperialist regimes and immediately establish Socialists states, thus effectively rapidly destroying Capitalism and Imperialism throughout the Periphery/Semi-Periphery, ✊😜!
The effects of this in the Imperial Core will be seen with the establishment of “Social Libertarianism: The New Synthesis of Liberalism” in these countries through a pragmatic alliance between Left-Liberal/Social Democratic political parties/labor unions/social justice activists and the Progressive wing of Capital (moderate Libertarian Silicon Valley Billionaires who support UBI and vote Democratic like Sam Altman, along with the Democratic voting Bourgeoisie in Hollywood, Academia, and the Media), who together will vanquish the Ultra-Reactionary Theocratic Christian Nationalist Zionist Fascist Right-wing “Populists” backed by the Reactionary Bourgeoisie (ie. the Military-Industrial Complex, Wall Street, the Oil industry, Big Pharma, the Prison-Industrial Complex, the Musk/Thiel PayPal Mafia in Silicon Valley, and the Murdoch Media Empire, etc.) and subsequently implement UBI, Legalize Victimless Crimes, and institute a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy (this will lead to the closure of all overseas U$ military bases, the end of the “New Cold War”, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State as described in the Geneva accords), that will create the most historically Progressive form of Capitalism possible that will be literally one step away from peacefully transitioning to Socialism, ✊😜!
By the end of the 21st century both of these processes will be completed, and both the Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery and Social Libertarian Imperial Core will be ready to slowly peacefully merge together into a Global USSR (that will make arrangements with the Progressive Bourgeoisie in the Imperial Core, and allow them to maintain most of their wealth, in exchange for giving up political power to the Communist Party and allowing for the creation of a Cybernetic Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) with every major ethnic group receiving their own SSR or ASSR (their will finally be Self-Determination for New Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine, Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan, Baluchistan, East Turkestan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, etc.), that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜!

I've noticed that with people who have false consciousness they often think in terms of "income levels" and "wealth inequality" rather than in terms of relationship to the means of production. For example, they'll see a single digit millionaire petit bourgeoisie and a worker as having more in common with each other than a multi-billionaire and single-digit-millionaire have in common with each other. Because they see the wide numerical gap between a multi-billionaire and a single-digit-millionaire and they perceive this as having greater importance than relationship to the means of production. They are pathologically unable to think in terms of how a person makes their income, and they are only able to think in terms of how much a person makes. They are unable to see that there is a certain point after which it doesn't matter how much money you have, it only matters that you no longer need to work for it. That you can earn it passively through profiting off of the surplus value of the labor of others, either directly through capitalist production, or indirectly through financial speculation and usury. People seem unable to think abstractly. This is how you get petit-bourgeois reactionaries who think they are the true face of the common people. Small business owners and cops and church pastors seeing themselves as rebels against the woke globalist corporations. And reactionary proles/lumpen joining them because they have the same brain worms.

Many nigeriens rightfully resent French neocolonialism over the country, especially since 2022 when huge amounts of French soldiers established bases in the country after they were kicked out of neighbouring Mali by a proRussia military junta.
After the coup was announced today, hundreds of procoup civilians came out in the center of the capital, waving flags of Russia and Wagner PMC and chanting antiFrench slogans. This seems to be signaling that Niger might be joining their neighbours Mali and Burkina Faso, who broke free of French control and established alliances with Russia after their French puppet governments were overthrown by military juntas.
Indeed, Mali recently removed French as an official language, demoting it to a "working language", while promoting only local languages to the official status. Like in Mali and Burkina Faso, this coup in Niger was followed by harsh western condemnation, and if the junta doesnt cave in to western demands, sanctions might soon follow like in Mali and Burkina Faso.
This is especially a problem for France, since Niger supplies up to 35% of its uranium. If Niger takes control of its natural resources like uranium, this could spell big trouble for French nuclear energy.

Anti-imperialist progress in West Africa
Last month big news came from Niger. The military announced it had seized power and arrested the ProFrench President Mohamed Bazoum. The Constitution has been suspended and power transferred to a military junta. This was caused by increased unrest in the country, caused by the failure of the government to fight the ISIS insurgency and the endemic poverty that has gripped the country since independence from France.Many nigeriens rightfully resent French neocolonialism over the country, especially since 2022 when huge amounts of French soldiers established bases in the country after they were kicked out of neighbouring Mali by a proRussia military junta.

I would also like resources to create comparisons to slavery in America through economics, social movement and moral decay so I can contrast it with the ways social progress is motivated through change in production that the protagonist and his commune put into effect.
To top it off, this would have to be somewhat digestible in a way that even (neo)liberal leftists can understand, which means it would have to go against idpol and optics (focusing on the work being problematic instead of the work itself), as well as a complete disregard or ignorance of historical materialism.
I'm also deeply uneducated in the subject so I need to deepen my vocabulary as I just wing it from common sense and my own set of beliefs.
Also if someone wants to argue the game with me, I'd be glad to do so.

Strange request but I would like to deepen my analysis of the game and one aspect I'd like to tackle is structural mechanics of oppression, its radical means of dismantlement and historical comparisons from communist and anarchist movements (preferably small communes).

With these conditions, and the election coming closer. could a communist revolution possibly happen soon? Could it happen sometime in the near future? And how would it all go down?
American Revolution
in America, recent polls are showing that teens tend to be more left-wing than all the generations that came before them. Owning a house and retiring in America is nothing but a dream at this point, and people seem to be more stressed out and over-worked than ever, while capitalists keep finding new ways to exploit the people.With these conditions, and the election coming closer. could a communist revolution possibly happen soon?

I just watched the new Batman movie, it's about as boring and derived as you'd expect. The villain is a real psycho, apparently he hates Bruce Wayne's father because of his scam charity orphanage where children froze to death and the villain himself grew up in, and tries to publicly reveal his father's ties to organized crime and political corruption. Luckily Batman eventually teaches him the true meaning of love and forgiveness before the villain is thrown into an insane asylum for the rest of his days, and the credits roll.
I also watched Memoria, which was just as boring and I have nothing to say about.

So, a couple of months ago we had a thread where people were talking about penis size and Shay posted a patent where a vasodilator was used in combination with other substances to enlarge one's penis permanently. I found that pretty intriguing so I wanted to give it a shot. I've read the patent and worked out how I could create an amateur version of the procedure at home with just the necessary parts. I'm one month in and that's not long enough (hehe) to say whether or not it has worked, but from my measurements I may have gained 2mm in length and circumference. Keep in mind that this is a treatment that takes around 3 to 6 months. So at one month time the results will be minuscule.
Anyway, feel free to ask me anything and I will give you monthly updates (if people are interested).
