Laws, religion, governments, wars, technology and farming destroyed us as a species
Think about it. Humans have been around for 300,000 years and didn't have code of law until the last 3,800 during the Bronze Age when Hammurabi ruled Mesopotamia. Before that, humans were animals just like any other. Before the farming revolution of the neolithic period 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, we were all hunter-gatherers. The moment we switched from stones to metal was the moment humanity messed up. When we were cave and hut dwellers, our world was way different. Humans are going outside of their very nature to enslave itself, basically. Laws, religions, all of these are forms of control. We need to stop pretending we are above other animals. We are destroying the world with our bullshit.

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. 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?????
The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

The Odyssey 2026
It was a really great film. As a massive enjoyer of the poem I loved this film and I think it excelled with both its visuals and sound and the twist of it being about like a soldier's guilt is kind of interesting considering it is an amerikkkan film, however it was really effective emotionally in the film and I just enjoyed it a lot. I do think they should have included Phaeaicia and Nausicaa since that was important in the story. Having the Greeks coming back from Troy being the sea people was a good twist / not so much of a twist if you know about the bronze age. It was both sincere but it also updated the story for the modern day. As for the costumes, well the poem was anachronistic anyway.

A Peruvian cardinal who received a barrage of death threats when he challenged the firm behind a toxic smelter has called a $150m (ยฃ111m) out-of-court settlement to more than 1,000 people who were allegedly poisoned by the plant as children โa historic milestoneโ. Cardinal Pedro Barreto, 82, was in Rome meeting Pope Leo XIV and other cardinals in June when he received news that the firm that ran the smelter, the Doe Run Company, a subsidiary of Renco Group, would pay $150m to 1,373 Peruvians who have suffered health impacts since childhood.

'UK tribunal confirms professorโs anti-Zionism is legally protected belief
Miller told Al Jazeera the ruling was a victory for all those in Britain who are opposed to Zionism, a nationalist ideology that contends that Jewish people have the right to self-determination in historic Palestine, which Zionists view as their ancestral homeland.

Peruvian cardinal hails $150m lead poisoning settlement for 1,300 people as a โhistoric milestoneโA Peruvian cardinal who received a barrage of death threats when he challenged the firm behind a toxic smelter has called a $150m (ยฃ111m) out-of-court settlement to more than 1,000 people who were allegedly poisoned by the plant as children โa historic milestoneโ. Cardinal Pedro Barreto, 82, was in Rome meeting Pope Leo XIV and other cardinals in June when he received news that the firm that ran the smelter, the Doe Run Company, a subsidiary of Renco Group, would pay $150m to 1,373 Peruvians who have suffered health impacts since childhood.

Colombiaโs left presents evidence suggesting De la Espriella won through fraud
Legal expert William Villanueva said that original tally sheets were scanned and subsequently reprocessed, removing the metadata that would allow them to determine whether the E14โs were uploaded or introduced digitally. โWe found documents marked โconfidentialโโฆ and others that said โnot digitizedโ on a blank page, whichโand this is importantโwere later republished with different information,โ said one of the computer scientists.

Chile Congress approves sweeping Kast reform to spur growth, rollout to face delays
The reform โ which amends 36 laws and 15 decrees โ includes a gradual cut in the corporate tax โrate to 23% by 2029 from 27% currently. Critics say there is no guarantee the measure will deliver the investment boost โthe โ government expects. The package also spans a wide range of other issues, from support for areas hit by wildfires to the relocation of aquaculture concessions.

Uruguay: preliminary deal signed in construction to cut working hours
The text is not final. It must be ratified by Sunca's general assembly, endorsed by both parties and approved by the Labor and Social Security Ministry. The immediate precedent warrants caution: days earlier, three of the four employer chambers disavowed a previous understanding on this same point, setting talks back.

Hundreds camp in Rome heatwave as Meloni government cracks down on squats
The centre, which over the last decade has transformed into a space offering various social and cultural services, including a food bank, a restaurant and co-working, hit the headlines in 2019 after an aide to the late Pope Francis, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, climbed down a manhole to restore the electricity, provoking the fury of Matteo Salvini, who was the interior minister at the time and is now deputy prime minister.

Under capitalism, cops, scabs, criminals are all byproducts of underemployment, which is a byproduct of the reserve army of labor. Capitalists know that a 100% employed society is easily unionized and difficult to scab against, so they need a reserve army of labor of desperate unemployed people who can be brought in as scabs. They also need a churning labor market with high turnover rates. the more people ragequit their jobs and spend a few months looking for new ones, the less likely people are to deal with their problems by unionizing, since that requires a long term commitment and they'll have become used to just ragequitting jobs they don't like. Another thing is when there's unemployment people turn to crime if they can't get the money they need to pay rent and buy food. Capitalist society deals with the problem of crime not by getting rid of the conditions which lead to crime in the first place, since that would interfere with capitalism. Instead Capitalist society throws more pigs and prisons at the problem. This is why more unemployment = more scabs and more criminals = more pigs and prisons = less unions. Interestingly criminals and cops are treated as being "against" one another but this is kayfabe. Cops use criminals as informants, witnesses, and assistants in corruption. Criminals can also be brought in by cops to help scab and break strikes. Also when there is high unemployment, a dumb guy who doesn't want to become a criminal or a scab will just become a cop instead. In a really shitty society like USA one of the only only work forces left with strong unions are cops, because they are universally armed, nearly impossible to strike break, and are themselves strike breakers, so the bourgeoisie tolerates them being unionized and highly paid, since they perform a useful function. Since the prison system also supplies scabs through convict leasing, cops turn criminals into scabs by throwing them in prison. The only conclusion one can come to is that under capitalism, cops, criminals, and scabs have a mutually symbiotic relationship and their populations grow in proportion to one another, the root cause being the chronic unemployment required by the bourgeoisie as a systemic feature.

The Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (All the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, with all Women forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. The Worldwide flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary will ironically cause a noticeable Global decline in Transgenders (less Men will desire to become Women once the Aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity such as Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, are banned for Women) in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes will still be Free and Legal to anyone who wants one, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ฆฒ!

All societal systems that have existed since humans became sedentary roughly 10,000 years ago are fascist. Before that, for nearly 95 percent of our speciesโ 300,000-year history, humanity lived in hunter-gatherer or forager societies. These communities had no permanent hierarchies, no inherited positions of power, no state institutions and no ruling class at all: decisions were made through collective consensus, and people with particular experience or skill held only temporary authority rooted in mutual respect, never the power to coerce others. They were entirely classless and egalitarian, with land, tools and hunting grounds held as common property, food distributed according to need, and no exploitation of one groupโs labour by another. There was no organised state violence, no standing armies and no large-scale warfare between communities; internal conflicts were resolved through mediation rather than repression. Gender relations were broadly equitable too, as womenโs foraging work supplied 60 to 80 percent of most groupsโ food supply, earning them equal social standing. Groups were small and flexible, usually made up of 20 to 50 related people. This form of organisation is known as primitive communism: the default way humans lived for almost all of our history, before sedentism gave rise to the fascist systems that have defined every society ever since.

This form of organisation is known as primitive communism: the default way humans lived for almost all of our history, before sedentism gave rise to the fascist systems that have defined every society ever since.

The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing. These proofs were often ritual in nature and lacked scientific rigor. Over centuries, especially under the influence of Roman legal principles, canon law, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and liberal constitutionalism, legal systems increasingly emphasized that guilt should be based on evidence against a specific individual rather than group affiliation. Thinkers such as Beccaria and Blackstone argued that protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment was more important than maximizing convictions, leading to higher standards of proof, formal rules of evidence, due process, and the modern principle that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite these legal prohibitions, governments and armed groups have at times been accused of imposing measures that amount to collective punishment, especially during wars, occupations, and counterinsurgency campaigns. Whether a specific case qualifies is often legally and politically disputed.
The transformation from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual liability and the presumption of innocence was driven largely by changes in state capacity and legal administration. As governments became stronger, more centralized, and more bureaucratic, they relied less on kinship groups to police their own members and more on professional courts, investigators, and judges. Improved record-keeping, forensic methods, written legal codes, and standardized procedures made it increasingly feasible (but not necessarily easy) to determine who actually committed an offense, reducing the perceived need to punish families or communities collectively. At the same time, expanding commerce and more diverse populations required legal systems that were universalist in nature, and treated strangers as individuals under uniform rules rather than as second class citizens, gradually making individualized justice and procedural safeguards the foundation of modern law.
From a class and economic perspective, the shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual responsibility can be understood as a consequence of the rise of market economies and capitalist social relations. Collective liability was well suited to feudal and kin-based societies, where obligations were shared by households, villages, and estates, but it impeded commerce by making contracts and property rights unpredictable. As merchants, urban aristocracy, and later industrial capitalists gained influence, they demanded legal systems that treated people as autonomous individuals capable of owning property, entering contracts, and being held liable only for their own actions. The resulting legal order replaced inherited collective responsibility with individualized rights and duties, not simply out of humanitarian concern, but because wage labor, private property, investment, and impersonal markets functioned more efficiently when legal responsibility was attached to discrete individuals rather than families, classes, or communities.
However, there is a problem which persists. Engels' concept of "social murder" refers to the idea that when a social and economic system predictably produces premature death through poverty, unsafe working conditions, malnutrition, or inadequate housing, those deaths are not mere accidents but the foreseeable consequences of institutional arrangements. Under this interpretation, responsibility is diffuse rather than individualized: no single capitalist or official commits murder in the ordinary legal sense, but the ruling class collectively maintains a system whose predictable effects include preventable deaths. Should the ruling class be collectively punished for this crime, potentially undermining or reversing the the historical changes described above? Furthermore, are not the proletariat themselves being collectively punished by the bourgeoisie for the crime of being poor?
One could argue that this represents a functional return of collective punishment, despite the formal triumph of individualized criminal law. Modern legal systems generally reject punishing innocent individuals for another person's crimes, yet they often tolerate economic institutions that systematically expose entire classes to greater risks of illness, violence, and early death based on their socioeconomic position. In that sense, the poor may experience harms not because of anything they individually did, but because they belong to a structurally disadvantaged class. The "punishment" is not imposed by a judge but by social and economic arrangements.
Bourgeois apologists argue that collective punishment involves intentionally imposing penalties on innocent people for the actions of others, whereas poverty-related harms arise from impersonal market processes, policy tradeoffs, historical contingencies, or individual choices rather than a deliberate punitive intent. From this perspective, calling these outcomes "collective punishment" obscures important distinctions between legal sanctions and structural inequality.
Collective Punishment Versus Individual Responsibility
Today most legal systems nominally reject collective punishment, emphasizing individual responsibility. It is also prohibited in armed conflict under international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. This was not always the case. The Athenian Draco is remembered for harsh laws, from which we get the word "Draconian" but one of his major reforms was to replace private blood feuds with state-administered justice. Before his code, killings were often avenged by the victim's family, leading to cycles of retaliation.The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing.

Should I drop aspirations of being a conservationist? I find myself lucky enough to be able to go back for a second degree and have wanted to get a degree in biology since before I finished my first, entirely unrelated to that field (though much more marketable), degree. Everyone seems to be in love with environmental rape and collapse now and I can't muster much hope in regards to the importance of futilely trying to keep the various floundering ecologies of the world afloat anymore.
I'd resigned myself to the truth of environmental collapse but reading daily about how America has decided to kill another endangered species, actively, entirely without any remorse, has become more than I can handle.
I don't want to be doing shit in an office 'till I die, but I don't know if going back to follow what I'm actually interested and passionate about will yield much fruit, if any at all.

Prediction (pessimistic): The US government will be overthrown, not by "social fascist" DSA members or by "True marxist leninists" (they don't exist since they are an impossible standard for a westoid to meet) but actual fascists like patriot front or proud boys. The US government will triple down on ethno-nationalism but will recede from the world stage. "Multipolarity" will bloom but will prove to be a farce. "Free trade" will collapse and all countries will be forced to become "self sufficient". This will lead to a period of basically universal Juche style self reliance mixed with ethnonational zionist kibbutz style "socialism." Neofeudal schemes will tie neo-peasants to agriculture since countries will be forced to produce surplus, but neo-peasants will double as neo-proles through digital office jobs. Basically they will grow crops for the state but also be responsible for digital maintenance of statistics. Hyper surveillance will prevent people from hoarding or hiding what they produce. Climate change will make everything harder to grow, the end of free trade will mean that all countries become isolationist and produce for themselves, and ethnonationalism and hyper surveillance will create a self reliant neofeudal national socialist dystopia in each country with its own characteristics. Each country will become an open air fallout vault. Transhumanism and gene editing will result in speciation of humans into several new sub species meant to specialize. Mind altering substances and technology will be used to enforce obedience, and transform pain into pleasure. This will entrench artificial castes and turn life into a hell disguised as heaven.

It's normally over gameplay or some dude just talking into the camera of their phone. These get so many views too. Also they are all super reactionary every time. Normally they'll throw in some christcuck nonsense or some right wing propaganda. R: 206 / I: 114

โDanger no longer only comes from the hitmen, but from the stateโ: the Honduran farmers labelled terrorists for protecting their land
Located in north-eastern Honduras, the Bajo Aguรกn valley is a fertile region that has been the countryโs hub for palm oil production โ the ubiquitous ingredient used in everything from shampoo to instant noodles. It has also been the site of a bitter 30-year conflict over land, involving small-scale farmers, or campesinos, large palm oil corporations backed by the government, and drug-trafficking groups.

Comparing Israel to Nazi regime is not a criminal offense, German court rules
Citing her right to freedom of speech, a higher regional court in the southwestern city of Zweibruckem has acquitted her of any wrongdoing, according to the report published earlier this week. According to the court, the criminal offense of using symbols of unconstitutional organizations is not fulfilled if someone uses the symbols to sharp criticize the state of Israelโs methods and thereby clearly distances herself from or condemns Nazi-era injustices.

For 60-year-old Ali Bani Odeh, the destruction of the wells was more than merely the loss of infrastructure.

Iraqi Kurdish leader in Damascus for talks on Syria Kurds' deal
Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa met Monday with Nechirvan Barzani, leader of Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, as official sources told AFP the talks aimed to advance an integration deal between Damascus and Syria's Kurds. Syrian state news agency SANA said Sharaa received Barzani at the presidential palace in Damascus, in the first visit by the head of Iraq's Kurdistan region following the December 2024 ouster of longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad.

The Postcolonial Volk
By Benjamin Zachariah
Polity, 176 pages, $25
You might have noticed that at some point, progressive types began to use the term โfolksโ to refer to โpeople.โ There are black folks, queer folks, indigenous folks. The change is significant. Whereas โpeopleโ evokes a sense of a universal subject, โfolksโ is particular. It implies a world of distinctions: different cultures, different experiences, different interests. No people, just โpeoples,โ all speaking with a different voice. From this perspective, โThe political world is a pluriverse, not a universe.โ
While the idea of a pluriverse has become increasingly popular within decolonial thought, that last line didnโt come from the traditionโs ever-proliferating ranks of academic adherents. It came from Carl Schmitt, the Nazi jurist. At a time when everything is โliterally Hitler,โ the comparison can seem overwrought. But it is precisely the comparison between post-colonial particularism and the vรถlkisch right that Benjamin Zachariah reveals with a keen sense of the absurd in his new book, The Postcolonial Volk.
Zachariah critiques the โconglomerateโ of postcolonial and decolonial theory clustering around whatโs come to be known as โtheory from the Global South.โ But appearances are deceiving, because itโs not really from the Global South at all. As Zachariah describes, its language and legitimacy claims are crafted in the Global North, exported to the Global South, and then reimported as authentic non-Western knowledge.
And just as it is not really of the Global South, this ostensibly left-wing โpostcolonial-decolonial-Global South conglomerateโ is not really of the left either. Despite the rightโs insistence that the ghost of Karl Marx is currently undertaking a long march through the institutions, Zachariahโs central claim is that the contemporary left actually has far more in common with anti-communist and proto-fascist forces than with the nineteenth-century founder of โscientific socialism.โ In important respects, its ethos actually arises from an entirely rival tradition, one that encompasses romantic nationalism, indigenism, cultural organicism, and vรถlkisch thought. It is, Zachariah says, โRomanticism, rather than the much-reviled Enlightenment, that suggests itself as the intellectual basis of the โpost-Enlightenmentโ world that Global Southistan now lays claim to.โ
This is why, as Zachariah shows, the postcolonial outlook now common on the contemporary left is so hostile to the Enlightenment and its ideal of universal truth. In his satirical โTwelve Theses on Postcolonialism,โ he condenses its outlook into its propositions including โthe individual is an Enlightenment conspiracyโ and โthe Age of Reason is the Age of Empire.โ Contrary to popular belief, universal reason and the emancipation of the individual were central to Marxism and the socialist and communist traditions shaped by it (โWe are communists out of egoism,โ Engels once wrote to Marx), however miserably they failed in practice. Marx and Engels were part of the Young Hegelian milieu, who were deeply impressed by the โheroes of the French Revolution,โ and even called themselves โencyclopaedistsโ after the eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosophes. This is a far cry from the unholy trinity that Zachariah skewers, however much its adherents may sometimes rummage in the dustbins for what he calls the โdebris of Marx- and- Engels-isms.โ
Postcolonialism does not simply swap out the working class for some other group of the oppressed. Its object is a mystic unity of culture, collective memory, fraught relationships to race and place, and inherited victimhood. Blood and soil in these formulations are only slightly obscured by a thin rhetorical dust.
As Zachariah shows, the postcolonial tendencyโs hostility to individualism and universalism follows precisely from its Romantic and vรถlkisch premises. This is why, as Zachariah describes through a number of jarring examples, its language passes so easily out of the mouths of Hindu nationalists, Islamists, and white identitarians. All emphasize authentic peoples, violated inheritances, foreign contamination, internal betrayers, and cultural restoration as a magical solution to social and political problems.
One of Zachariahโs most illuminating examples is that of Benoy Kumar Sarkar, a Bengali social scientist whom Zachariah describes as โa self-conscious and dedicated user of vรถlkisch ideasโ and โzealous co-worker with the Nazis,โ who is now unselfconsciously revered as a pioneer of Indian sociology, political science, and forebear of postcolonial thought. That Sarkar was a resolute admirer of Hitler, whom he called โVivekananda multiplied by Bismarck,โ is forgiven or ignored by those eager to find in him a postcolonial precursor.
The story is similar, if more well known, regarding Martin Heidegger, whom Zachariah describes as โpostcolonial scholarsโ preferred philosopher of โaffectโโ and whose defendersโ attempt to save him from the charge of Nazism โfaltered on the evidence of his own diaries.โ One compromised intellectual ancestor might be a mere misstep, a product of a momentary lapse in judgment (even if lasting many years). But when the fascist affinities of your forebears must repeatedly be bracketed or explained away, it should tell you that something is wrong with your outlook.
Not that this is really possible, because postcolonialismโs epistemology means it is singularly incapable of recognizing the proto-fascism of its vรถlkisch affinities. As Zachariah writes, these are instead routinely โunderplayed or explained away in terms of the โdifferenceโ of non-Western cultures, which are allegedly incapable of fascism or to whom Western concepts such as fascism simply do not apply.โ If the volk is light-skinned, the politics belong to the right; if dark-skinned, to the left, and neโer the twain shall meet. And so, the right remains evil for its organic nationalism, while the left is merely seeking cultural renewal; the right is dangerous for denouncing non-white internal enemies but when the left denounces whites it is merely identifying obstacles to โdecolonization.โ It is the peculiarities of the volk, rather than the politics, that matter.
Why has the left turned to these romantic ideas? Zachariah cites the collapse of the Soviet Union as one cause. But he hits on an even deeper reason near the start of the book, when he draws on Walter Benjaminโs much-quoted vignette inspired by Paul Kleeโs Angelus Novus. This is the backward-facing, forward-blown Angel of History, who is to Benjamin, โsurveying the debris of the pastโ as a storm blowing from Paradise drives him perilously into the future. โHe would like to pause,โ goes the vignette, โto awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed,โ but the gale has got so strong he cannot close his wings.
Zachariahโs intended point is well taken: We can no more return to an earlier materialist left than postcolonial volk can return to the idyllic time before the colonial โFall.โ Both the longing and the backward-looking means of overcoming it are misguided. But Benjaminโs image also answers a deeper question: Just why is there such a passionate desire to escape the forces of history and take refuge in the wholeness of the past?
In You Shall Be as Gods, Erich Fromm reads the expulsion from Eden not as manโs corruption but โthe beginning of his rise.โ Eden is the central symbolic story of manโs gradual alienation from animalhood and nature in the development of his capacity to reason and disobey, that is, his capacity for freedom. But crucially, this freedom is experienced as a painful sense of loss, as freedom imposes burdens of uncertainty, choice, and responsibility.
โMan suffers from this loss of oneness,โ Fromm writes, and โhis most passionate striving is to return to the world of union which was his home.โ And so while man, in Frommโs radical humanist reading of the Hebrew scriptures, reasons and argues with God on his ascent to independence, he is always drawn back downward, โto the womb, the Mother Earth,โ and the certainties and bindings of the past, nature, clan, and idols.
This is the deeper yearning expressed in Benjaminโs Angel of History. We want to go back and pick up the pieces, rebuild whatโs been lost. But the most painful lesson, the one we continually cannot accept, is that there is no going back.

All emphasize authentic peoples, violated inheritances, foreign contamination, internal betrayers, and cultural restoration as a magical solution to social and political problems.
One of Zachariahโs most illuminating examples is that of Benoy Kumar Sarkar, a Bengali social scientist whom Zachariah describes as โa self-conscious and dedicated user of vรถlkisch ideasโ and โzealous co-worker with the Nazis,โ who is now unselfconsciously revered as a pioneer of Indian sociology, political science, and forebear of postcolonial thought. That Sarkar was a resolute admirer of Hitler, whom he called โVivekananda multiplied by Bismarck,โ is forgiven or ignored by those eager to find in him a postcolonial precursor.
The story is similar, if more well known, regarding Martin Heidegger, whom Zachariah describes as โpostcolonial scholarsโ preferred philosopher of โaffectโโ and whose defendersโ attempt to save him from the charge of Nazism โfaltered on the evidence of his own diaries.โ One compromised intellectual ancestor might be a mere misstep, a product of a momentary lapse in judgment (even if lasting many years). But when the fascist affinities of your forebears must repeatedly be bracketed or explained away, it should tell you that something is wrong with your outlook.
Not that this is really possible, because postcolonialismโs epistemology means it is singularly incapable of recognizing the proto-fascism of its vรถlkisch affinities. As Zachariah writes, these are instead routinely โunderplayed or explained away in terms of the โdifferenceโ of non-Western cultures, which are allegedly incapable of fascism or to whom Western concepts such as fascism simply do not apply.โ If the volk is light-skinned, the politics belong to the right; if dark-skinned, to the left, and neโer the twain shall meet. And so, the right remains evil for its organic nationalism, while the left is merely seeking cultural renewal; the right is dangerous for denouncing non-white internal enemies but when the left denounces whites it is merely identifying obstacles to โdecolonization.โ It is the peculiarities of the volk, rather than the politics, that matter.
Why has the left turned to these romantic ideas? Zachariah cites the collapse of the Soviet Union as one cause. But he hits on an even deeper reason near the start of the book, when he draws on Walter Benjaminโs much-quoted vignette inspired by Paul Kleeโs Angelus Novus. This is the backward-facing, forward-blown Angel of History, who is to Benjamin, โsurveying the debris of the pastโ as a storm blowing from Paradise drives him perilously into the future. โHe would like to pause,โ goes the vignette, โto awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed,โ but the gale has got so strong he cannot close his wings.
Zachariahโs intended point is well taken: We can no more return to an earlier materialist left than postcolonial volk can return to the idyllic time before the colonial โFall.โ Both the longing and the backward-looking means of overcoming it are misguided. But Benjaminโs image also answers a deeper question: Just why is there such a passionate desire to escape the forces of history and take refuge in the wholeness of the past?
In You Shall Be as Gods, Erich Fromm reads the expulsion from Eden not as manโs corruption but โthe beginning of his rise.โ Eden is the central symbolic story of manโs gradual alienation from animalhood and nature in the development of his capacity to reason and disobey, that is, his capacity for freedom. But crucially, this freedom is experienced as a painful sense of loss, as freedom imposes burdens of uncertainty, choice, and responsibility.
โMan suffers from this loss of oneness,โ Fromm writes, and โhis most passionate striving is to return to the world of union which was his home.โ And so while man, in Frommโs radical humanist reading of the Hebrew scriptures, reasons and argues with God on his ascent to independence, he is always drawn back downward, โto the womb, the Mother Earth,โ and the certainties and bindings of the past, nature, clan, and idols.
This is the deeper yearning expressed in Benjaminโs Angel of History. We want to go back and pick up the pieces, rebuild whatโs been lost. But the most painful lesson, the one we continually cannot accept, is that there is no going back.

I consider myself an atheist and a materialist. I engage in deboonking and making fun of religious and superstitious people all the time.
But there is one supernatural phenomenon that I cannot explain, and that is re-incarnation. This is because of my personal experience.
I have a niece who, when she was very young, claimed to have had a past life where she lived in another state in country, and she vividly described the name of her town and her family members. She was insistent about it being true, even though she was just 3 or 4 at the time.
So my dad and my uncle decided to go to that place and investigate, and they found out that there really was a family in that town with the same names my niece mentioned, and that one of the women in that family died a few years ago.
I saw all this happening with my own eyes. It simply cannot be a coincidence that a 3 year old accurately remembered the names of a family and the name of that town in a far away place, where a woman died the same year my niece was born.
Then after further research, I realized the topic of reincarnation was already being researched by a guy named Ian Stevenson who has collected evidence of thousands of reincarnation.
Now I'm not saying I 100% believe in it, because at the end of the day I'm still a materialist and I need hard evidence to convince myself. But I still have no idea what to think of what I observed first hand.

I've been thinking about drones, especially small FPV ones. Everyone talks about how its going to change warfare yada yada. But the really disruptive thing is that it enables individuals to target the ruling class much easier.
Think about guns for example. Before guns, you needed to have expensive armor, swords, shields, spears, bows and extensive training to be a lethal soldier. Only the elites could afford that, and that's why peasant/slave revolutions were not only few and far between, but they all were brutally put down quite easily.
Once guns came into the picture, the elites were not so safe anymore, and there came about a change in political structures to accomodate the masses more both politically and economically.
Now I think drones are another step in this direction. Indivuduals can easily build drones, and with advances in AI, then can just create a program instructing it to fly and identify a wealthy elite and kill them. With proper op-sec, someone can release a drone a mile away in a forest, set it on its kill path, and then run away.
The elites can be killed en-masse with the security forces having a very tough time trying to counter it and identify the perpetrators. Now all of this is theoretical of course, but technological acceleration is going to make this a reality much sooner than you think.
This is why I think the push for mass surveillance is happening. The elites are aware that there is a material change coming in the relative military power of organized armies and disparate dissident lone wolfs. Mass surveillance is the only way to ensure they can counter the lone wolfs.

Doing Time
If you are queer in prison you are statistically much more likely to get abused and raped than if you are a literal child molester. I doubt leftists would fare much better in the hyper macho rightoid environment that prison is. Not to mention the guards that will intentionally set you up to get attacked if they dont like your politics. I have done time in a criminally insane institution though im not sure how much authotity i have to speak on this considering the environment is a usually regarded and softer and my crime was not necessarily political, even though we had rape and beatdowns there too, though i kept my opinions on anything to myself and minded my own bussiness so i avoided the bulk of the drama. Still, leftists have a big disadvantage on this front considering any type of violent action in service of the revolution will have to face this reality. This will deter a lot of people and i feel especially sad for the queer people that endure so much violence form the right yet cant retaliate because the alternative is being thrown into a sadistic rape dungeon to be tortured till suicide by both cops and inmates. This is a major blackpill a lot of people here are not ready to swallow.
