The American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

- If not, then existence is the only thing that exists without attributable characteristics
- Therefore, existence is the only thing that simply exists without any attributable characteristics
- Then, nothing can be said of existence other than it exists

Joseph Stalin is the most reviled opponent of the liberal bourgeoisie. No one causes more lib seethe than Stalin. The man was also firmly socially conservative and anti-cosmopolitan. And most importantly, he won the fucking war and died on old man at the height of his power, and the Soviet empire he built survived for decades afterwards.
So why is the online right still in love with a miserable loser like Hitler? Why are chinlet shooters and insecure browns still chanting "Hitler was right" instead of embracing the chad superiority of Stalin? Are they just stupid?

If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????

tl;dr: Google has created an AI that readily trains specialized AI models that act as data scientists who collect data in an eclectic manner to make predictions for a wide array of real world use cases that are on a large scale, such as predicitng the spread of disease in a country or estimating which regions are at risk of food insecurity. Their AI has produced the best results so far in terms of making reliable predictions ranging from 60-90% depending on the subject. We can only go up from here.
Planning an economy and all social affairs relevant to it is not just theoretically feasible but Google themselves have released an AI that could plausibly do it, even if they haven't explicity stated that.

Planetary prediction engine: Automating global models via Earth AI
https://research.google/blog/planetary-prediction-engine-automating-global-models-via-earth-ai/
<Google's paper introduces the Planetary Prediction Engine (PPE), an autonomous AI system designed to build high-accuracy geospatial predictive models from plain-English requests.
<Traditionally, predicting real-world global events—such as tracking a disease outbreak, forecasting local food shortages, or mapping environmental changes—requires months of tedious work by specialized teams. Data scientists have to manually find datasets, clean satellite imagery, merge census data, eliminate bias, and code customized machine learning models.
<The PPE automates that entire pipeline end-to-end, turning a process that used to take weeks into an automated task that completes in minutes.
<The PPE breaks down complex predictive prompts into three automated stages, orchestrated by Large Language Models (LLMs):
<Intelligent Data Gathering: The user asks a question in natural language (e.g., "Predict regional food insecurity across West Africa over the next 6 months"). The AI parses the request, translates it into geographic and temporal boundaries, and automatically hunts for relevant data across satellite databases (like Google Earth Engine), public statistics (like Data Commons), and live web repositories.
<Data Fusion and Quality Control: The system merges satellite images, demographic data, and climate patterns using specialized foundation models. Critically, it runs automated checks ("Feature Gates") to prevent "data leakage"—ensuring the model doesn't accidentally peek at future or circular data to falsely inflate its accuracy.
<Automated Model Building: The engine tests multiple types of machine learning algorithms, fine-tunes them, guards against overfitting, and outputs a deployable prediction model along with a full explanatory report.
<The primary impact of the Planetary Prediction Engine is democratizing complex geospatial forecasting. You no longer need an elite team of satellite engineers and data scientists to get high-resolution global predictions.
<• Rapid Disaster Response: During sudden crises (flooding, tropical storms, viral outbreaks), humanitarian organizations can instantly generate location-specific threat maps in minutes to route medical supplies or emergency shelter where they are needed most.
<• Public Health Tracking: Public health officials can ask the system to track and forecast conditions like chronic disease prevalence or active virus outbreaks using dynamic local data.
<• Food Security and Agriculture: International relief groups can anticipate crop failures or spot early warnings of famine at a fine-grained, local level rather than relying on outdated, broad regional averages.
<• Policy and Resource Allocation: Governments and NGOs with limited tech budgets can run sophisticated environmental and economic impact analyses directly through simple text queries.

How many of you are actual communists, and how many of you are just contrarian misanthropes who found the far-right too embarrassing?
If it’s the second, have you considered that working people don’t listen to you not because they’re inherently hostile to leftism or because they’re “treatlers,” but because your ideas betray your contempt? And that you’re actually a liability to socialism by getting people to associate it with neurotic contrarians?

Did marx account for retarded proles?
Hello I'm new to this whole thing. I understand that proles are supposed to work together to overthrow capital but how is that possible when so many proles are retarded cattle? What do you do with proles who love the bourgeoisie like hardcore elon musk/trump fans. What about blue collar guys that blame everything on immigrants and love capitalism. What about military veterans who actively aided the capitalists and have zero regrets. What do we do with all those people? There's too many to just kill them all and the idea that "education" will suddenly change them seems idealist. I don't see how those guys would be compatible with revolution, what's their role in this?

All this, combined with a history of failure to stand up against injustice and explotation of this world, it creates a feedback loop where more and more layers of ‘post’ are being added to something, more new words are being invented, and more old words are being used in different, “wrong” ways. This results in works that are at best a very advanced schizopost, and at best some broader psyop.
It all becomes obnoxious, everyone knows it is obnoxious, and even pointing it out is counter-productive.
Every sincere expression of a revolutionary zeal both rightfully and wrongfully is percived as naive, as real possible change is drifting away to the realm of history.
It makes everything seem like theater, a way to fulfill your need to feel good about yourself and the world, all while the subconcious truly fights against that.
The paradox of it is that, this very critique (and possible critique of it), creates so many layers of meta-meta-meta-meta-meta-meta answers and questions, one could say this sort of “realism” is a immunization of capitalism, but so does that very statement and even whatever I am doing right now, and whatever you could say about it. It is an unwinnable situation.
The performance can be both something good, it can be art, it is also quite literally the only way to state something, an opinion in modern times without the pretense would not be an opinion, in most cases it would be a punch to a face of the other people in discussion. We are simply trapped in it. Even every single asshole which claims to point it out (including me, being just one meta layer above) like Mark Fischer and co. fuels the same thing, repeats the same patterns, and plays social games with language. Talking about talking about capitalism. And what I am doing is talking about talking about talking about capitalism. Every layer repeates the mistakes of the last one.
I don’t want to claim a solution, or know enough about what truly causes it or how it can be resolved.
The only two ways to ‘win’ (that I percived) is to be either ignorant, and avoid the trap of this very conversation and instead be happy, this just being a rare 3am thought.
Or know the age-old revolutionary optimism, and a sort of paradoxical materialist idealism, a faith in history and what some dead old dude wrote like over a century ago, side-stepping every point of this as counter-revolutionary. (Which at certain point circles back to the start when some assholes critiques you and you answer them. This can only be stopped if your bullshit revolution works out and you can execute the people bitching about you[1])
In either case it is important to be aware you are performative, it is imporant to know that art is performative. That politics are performative. That friends and love are performative. That saying the word “performative” is performative.
The only un-performative acts are; eating, shitting and having sex[2].

post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-critique
I am of a strong belief that most contemporary “theory” “writers”, convey relatively simple ideas in more and more words, there is so much insanity that can be possesed in a statement, so much shock you can pack into another bullshit essay. Post-modernist, post-marxist, post-structualist, post-rational, post-post-post-post-post, post post blah blah blah it all becomes a meaningless babble. I don’t give a shit, kill yourself.All this, combined with a history of failure to stand up against injustice and explotation of this world, it creates a feedback loop where more and more layers of ‘post’ are being added to something, more new words are being invented, and more old words are being used in different, “wrong” ways.

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.
But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.
It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…
This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/
Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.
Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.
Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code. It’s one thing to maintain decorum in conversations and being opposed to extremism, but you won’t get far if you try to overpolice on every little convo your members have.
What’s the takeaway from me then? The left rejecting sex-positivity and embracing ageism were its two biggest mistakes that cost them an entire generation.
P.S.: It’s one thing to oppose sexual hierarchies that devalue humans, it’s another to devalue the body and the Eros in and of themselves. The left shouldn’t necessarily embrace prostitution, but it also shouldn’t embrace sex-negativity either. I would personally suggest reviving the free sex movement because, if sex does become widely available under a secular sex positive society, then obviously prostitutes and porn studios and pimps would be out of business. That’s why Marx often noted how traditionalist marital moralism coexisted with prostitution, with or without its prohibition. But I’m open for other suggestions.
Again, can’t say if it’s said already or not, but I do think those points need to be hammered home as it seems that the left prior to the Gaza genocide was struggling to remain relevant, especially as Big tech right figures like Musk and Thiel were pumping a shit ton of dollars to aid the remnants of the alt-right to carve their mockingbird network out of it; their work has paid off in the form of the current unholy MAGA and alt-right and neocon nexus that I’d like to call “white neoconservatism with Enoch Powell characteristics”, with Australia’s and Canada’s brightest minds Drew Pavlou and Captive_Dreamer starting out differently only to end up being rabid racist neocons.
So yh: Sex-negativity and Ageism are bad things, folks.

They want to push us into a corner where the whole world is against us, and our only choice is to fight back, so they can use that retaliation to manufacture consent for our eradication. It's the exact same playbook they've been using against the people of Palestine.
But even as horrible as things are for them, at least they have people fighting for them. The powerful stomp them into dust, but there's a dim light at the end of their tunnel of thorns. Journalists risk their lives to spread awareness, citizens risk arrest for speaking out. They have real allies in this fight, a frayed thread to cling to. We have no flickering light of hope, we have only ourselves.
People might feign support in passing, but anything more than empty platitudes is asking too much. Nobody wants to make even minor sacrifices for us. Nobody wants to spread empathy or awareness for us. Everyone is all too happy to let us sink to second-class citizens. Everyone is all to happy to publicly dehumanize us without so much as flinching. Nobody knows we're 10 times more likely to be murdered. Nobody knows there's state-mandated conversion therapy and human experiments. Nobody even knows what V-coding is. When they start marching us into the ovens, will anyone even know? Will anyone even care?
How can I cope? How can I not become jaded? I don't want to hate the human race, but anything less feels like letting myself be in an abusive relationship. I'm so tired.
How do I stop from hating humanity?
I'm so tired of it all. Everyone believing the lies. Everyone legislating our torture. Everyone celebrating our oppression. Everyone pretending they're justified. All the money, all the technology, all the grifting, all just to hurt me and the handful of my kind. I just want to give up and cry.I know that's what they want.

i am looking to build a low-cost sacrificial CMOS sensor test rig. interested in characterizing how permanent sensor degradation propagates through an image pipeline and eventually causes OCR failure. not primarily interested in temporary saturation/blinding. the question is where the functional threshold actually occurs after persistent sensor damage accumulates.
>Hardware
Raspberry Pi 4 as controller and replaceable CSI camera modules. IMX477 HQ Camera as primary test sensor IMX296 global-shutter comparison. IMX219 as cheap disposable baseline. interchangeable optics, fixed hardware and software baseline.
>Optical source
controlled, wavelength-defined laser source. output will be measured and recorded to construct a reproducible guide. fixed image sensor mounting and consistent exposure intensity and angling analagous to real world conditions. treat each camera module as a sacrificial test article. the goal is the destruction of optical recognition capabilities in a reproducible and on-the-go formula.
>Software
Raspberry Pi OS/libcamera OpenCV + NumPy Tesseract + PaddleOCR RAW + processed-frame capture automated OCR against a standardized text target
>Goal
log dead/stuck pixel count, persistent defect distribution saturation/clipping noise/SNR contrast and edge degradation OCR confidence character error rate / word error rate
>tl;dr
baseline sensor, controlled exposure, capture RAW + processed frame, run OCR, map persistent defects, repeat with fresh sensor
The interesting result is the curve:
sensor degradation → image-quality degradation → OCR error rate
rather than simply declaring the camera “dead” when OCR first fails.
Looking for recommendations on Pi-compatible sensors that would make useful analogues for higher-end commercial OCR/machine-vision cameras, particularly sensors with RAW access and well-documented characteristics.

Israel imposes curriculum on 45,000 Palestinian students in East Jerusalem
Israeli authorities are imposing their curriculum on more than 45,000 Palestinian students in state-run schools in East Jerusalem, as part of a wider crackdown on education in the occupied area of the city. The new measures mean that around 38 percent of all Palestinian students - a marked increase on recent years - will be taught the Israeli curriculum rather than the Palestinian one from Tuesday. This includes all new first grade and seventh grade classes opening in the state education system in East Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, parents and those in the private sector are expected to help provide school meals, with some schools only reporting a 15-day supply of food, according to state media. School uniforms also were largely unavailable as the new school year began, meeting only 12% of demand at the primary level. “No workshop can operate without electricity. Without fuel, we cannot transport fabric from one part of the country to another,” Trujillo Barreto said. “Without money or the ability to import, no fabric comes in either.”

I've come to complain about my experience with college and schooling as a whole. As a bonus I posted some pics of my books.
But anyway Ill keep it short and sweet, college feels like an extension the same bullshit I dealt with in high school.
I was expecting college to be more focused on writing in depth essays/proofs and reading big large books and writing summaries and drawing diagrams for the professor. In reality though school has been thoroughly taken over by online bullshit, online assignment sheets that you fill in the answers for.
I'm fine with repetition, in fact repetition is actually good for learning at times, but this just feels lazy, and it blocks actual learning it feels like for me.
Idk, I guess I've just been so accustomed to self study and doing writing summaries and essays according to what the books Ive read that it feels really weak by comparison.
I've told my parents how I feel and they say that I just gotta wait till I get into a more advanced class, but idk If I really have the patience for that :(.
Honestly the one thing I am currently going to school for to learn, medical stuff (surgery) may not even be necessary.
I really really wanna learn brain surgery, but honestly college just seems so boring and a barrier to actual learning that I might just try to learn surgery outside of school.
Of course theres books on it, but for something like that I'd need actual samples to work on.
Idk.
Maybe I should still go to school…. :(
also not trying to bookflex on ppl w that library pic, I havent even begun to read all of them
currently just reading my biology book for the course Im taking and euler algebra (working my way up to his calc textbooks)

Canadian Nuclear Proliferation: NPT withdrawal
An electronic petition with as few as 500 signatures could be considered for review by the House of Commons. It's time for one of us to create a petition demanding that Canada withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The time is right for this. The Canadian public is fed up and forcing Canada's parliament to respond to a petition with enough signatures and a member of parliament's endorsement would deepen the Western rupture.

>The U.S. decision targeting Autistici/Inventati should not be read simply as another sanction in Washington’s crackdown on violent extremism. According to Beniamino Irdi, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and CEO of Highground, the more significant point lies elsewhere: for the first time, the logic of material support is being applied openly and forcefully to technological infrastructure. The target is no longer only those who carry out an act, but also those who provide the infrastructure that makes it possible. It is a choice that sets a delicate precedent for European allies and for the balance between security, intelligence and legal safeguards.
>Why it matters. The designation marks an unusual use of U.S. counterterrorism sanctions against a European technology collective whose main activity is providing digital infrastructure – from encrypted communications to web hosting.
< It also creates a potential point of discussion between Washington, Rome and Brussels: the U.S. designation carries immediate financial consequences under American jurisdiction, but does not automatically place Autistici/Inventati on Italy’s or the European Union’s terrorist lists.
>What happened. On August 26, the State Department, working with the Treasury Department, designated Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224.
< The State Department describes A/I as an Italy-based extremist organisation that builds and operates digital infrastructure used by violent Antifa cells and other far-left groups internationally. Washington says its services include encrypted email and chats, web hosting, secure videoconferencing and streaming, anonymity tools and the infrastructure behind the Noblogs platform.
>Washington specifically cited the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the United States and is also on the EU terrorist list. Treasury says Autistici/Inventati was designated for having “materially assisted” or provided technological support, goods or services in support of an act of terrorism
>Q: Irdi, what is the most significant element of the U.S. decision?
< A: The most interesting part is not so much the sanction against this organization, but the fact that the logic of material support to terrorist organizations is being extended to the infrastructure layer. Washington is looking not only at what an entity does, but at what it enables others to do through its services, including in third countries.
>Q: So the United States is not targeting an operational organisation in the traditional sense?
< A: Exactly. The United States is not targeting an operational organisation, but an infrastructure. It is an extension of the scope of countermeasures to technical and infrastructure services that can be used by actors considered dangerous. The key point, however, is the principle being established: infrastructure itself can become the object of a countermeasure.
>Q: How much will the sanction actually affect Autistici/Inventati?
< A: The asset freeze is probably the least significant part of the measure: it is difficult to imagine that a small Italian association has substantial assets in the United States. The real effect comes instead through de-risking. A U.S. designation prompts banks, payment systems, registrars, hosting providers and connectivity providers to pre-emptively cut ties.
< An entity can therefore effectively be expelled from the services market without any court ruling ever having been issued in Italy, and potentially without a criminal proceeding even having been opened. In other words, the real coercive power of the United States lies in progressively making it impossible to bank, host or provide services to the designated entity.
>Q: In other words, the strongest effect could be ostracism.
< A: Yes. They have ostracised them. And this is precisely one of the most interesting and problematic aspects of the case. The power of sanctions derives from the ability to influence third parties, financial and commercial operators that, for compliance reasons, may decide to sever relations with the designated entity.
>Q: Why have we reached this point?
< A: Because over the past few years, the evolution of hostile activities in Europe has followed a very clear trend, especially on the Russian side. After the mass expulsion of Russian officers operating under cover, Moscow has increasingly relied on intermediaries and proxies.
< Assessments by European intelligence services describe a model in which recruiters can identify financially vulnerable individuals or people from criminal environments online and task them with surveillance, vandalism, arson or sabotage. Contact takes place remotely, payment can be made in cryptocurrencies and the person carrying out the act may not even know who they are actually working for.
>Q: And does this also change the way authorities need to look at the threat?
< A: The advantage of this model is deniability. If an operation is built through a succession of intermediaries, it becomes much more difficult to trace it back to the principal. And if the operational model is based on intermediation, it is quite natural for the response to begin shifting from the perpetrators to the enablers: not only those who physically carry out the act, but also those who provide the infrastructure that makes it possible or more difficult to attribute. This is an important evolution of the security paradigm.
< The U.S. designation of A/I does not claim that the organisation is controlled by Russia and should not be interpreted in that way. But the analytical perspective is the same: identifying not only those who carry out the action, but also the network of actors and tools that makes it possible.
>Q: From the standpoint of the legal safeguards typical of Western democracies, how do you see it?
< A: That is the main dilemma. In Western democracies, legal safeguards are difficult to circumvent. An organization may be considered dangerous from an intelligence perspective, but that does not automatically mean that the evidence required under the standards set by law exists to adopt a judicial measure.
>Q: Could Washington ask its allies to follow the same path?
< A: It is possible that the United States is setting a precedent and wants to signal to its allies that efforts to contain the infrastructure supporting violent activities should also be extended to other countries. But this raises a very delicate problem. If the criterion becomes too vague, the risk is that it creates divisions with those same allies.
>Q: What would be the critical point?
< A: For example, it is difficult to imagine that all allies would accept the principle that networks which, in some way, are associated with the Antifa sphere should no longer be allowed to provide services. A very careful distinction must be drawn between political affiliation, protest activity, ideological radicalism and concrete support for violence.
< The same infrastructure can be used by a dissident, a journalist, a political activist or someone claiming responsibility for an act of sabotage. In A/I’s case, projects are openly selected based on their compatibility with certain political principles. Taken on its own, that is a rather weak element on which to base judicial proceedings.
>Q: What, then, is the lesson for Western democracies?
< A: That they will increasingly have to confront the structural elements of the threat. Intelligence may reach the conclusion that an organization represents a risk, but moving from that assessment to a measure carrying legal consequences requires different standards. The issue raised by the A/I case is therefore broader than the individual organisation.
< It is another manifestation of a dilemma that liberal democracies are facing in many different forms as they confront modern threats to their security: how to fight them without eroding the safeguards that constitute their foundation and, ultimately, their freedom.
