/ISG/ - Internet Spectacle General

A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

<1 Planet, 3 Worlds Edition

🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

<Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

What do we do about immigration?

>Europoor

It's becoming increasingly clear that the majority of proles in Europe and North America are being brainwashed by their phones into believing immigration is the biggest issue in their countries. I have largely ignored this issue, as I don't really think it matters but then, last night, there was a lumpen riot in Dublin against an IPAS centre in which a foreign national who had been denied asylum and was told to "self-deport" had apparantly raped a 10 year old girl who was under state care. I usually don't believe a lot of the lies told about "migrants" online but this case makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.

It was a clear failure from the neoliberal Irish government and it's institutions that allowed something like this to happen. Why wasn't this man deported immediately after being denied asylum? Too expensive, apparently. Why was this man allowed to be in a situation where he could sexually abuse a child? Why is this man in my country in the first place? Ofc, the Free State institutions are keeping silent on it, pissing off people even more.

So, how do leftists feel about immigration and the current asylum process? Obviously, I understand this wouldn't be an issue if western corps weren't raping the third world but I also think there is a discussion to be had. Are open borders in the current world really working? Would they work post-capitalism? How do you feel about immigration, positively or negatively?

I wish one day people would learn how fucked up this is.

I saw a Veterans Day mural where people but up pictures of veteran family members and there were literal WW2 vets hung up next to Iraq War vets. Its just so disgusting to equate the morality of our involvement in those two wars.

Israel fears KARA BOĞA (TÜRKIYE)

Do you think that a Turkish-backed Syria could win against Israel? If not, what kind of damage are we talking? Erdoğan is trying to rebuild the Ottoman empire. They already fought the US-armed and trained Kurdish forces in Iraq and Syria, so they're arguably better trained than Israel, because Israel only messes with countries that have little to no support and thus limited training, especially against a modern army. Iran is the closest match, but even they aren't nearly as developed. Egypt and Saudi Arabia would remain neutral, Russia might just respond diplomatically. Turkey DOES have an air force – they're a NATO state. Turkey has mobile air defenses, although not many of them. Turkey has more tanks than Israel. They also have a bigger navy than Israel. They're literally a NATO state, so they have a NATO military, NATO doctrine, NATO training, not to mention diplomacy. Not only that, but due to the Gaza war, many Israelis are leaving the country, generation z Israelis oppose fighting anyway, Orthodox IDF bans were recently lifted and there were protests on the street, Israel is already stretched thin between Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon, plus financial offsets from the Gaza War amidst international condemnation. While America loves Israel, it's still possible the US might sit out on this one. Turkey has a bigger GDP than Israel and are more efficient economically (they manufacture almost everything domestically, including their own cars, steel, textiles, electronics, weapons). Plus Turkey is planning on taking over the T4 air base in Syria right along Israel's border and make Al-Saara's Syria a protectorate).

MAGA movement leans on protests against Claudia Sheinbaum to push for military intervention in Mexico
In the United States, they have been picked up on by some digital media outlets and commentators from the Trumpian MAGA movement — such as Steve Bannon and Alex Jones, both known for spreading misinformation — to denounce Mexico’s supposed transformation into a “narco-terrorist state.” In a context where the United States has declared war precisely on “narco-terrorism” in Latin America and has already sunk more than 20 alleged drug-running boats in the waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific, resulting in at least 80 extrajudicial killings, the implication is clear: they are calling for Mexico to be the next target.

Ex-UK PM Johnson oversaw 'chaotic' response to COVID which led to more deaths, inquiry finds
Had Britain locked down just a week earlier on March 16, as the consensus of evidence said it should, the number of deaths in the first wave up to July would have been reduced by about 23,000 or 48%, the report concluded. A failure to act sooner again as cases rose later in the year also led to further national lockdowns, it added.

Emirati, Israeli and far-right influencers 'invented Christian killings in Sudan', report says
The objectives of the coordinated campaign, Beam Reports stated, included shifting blame of atrocities away from the RSF, recasting Sudan's war as a religious conflict to "evoke foreign sympathy", and flooding the online space with fabricated content to confuse media coverage. The RSF carried out mass killings and abuses as it stormed el-Fasher, some of which were documented by its own fighters and have been corroborated by satellite imagery. Beam identified Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst, as the architect of the campaign.

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.

>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.


>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.


>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.


>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.


>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single Atari console owner, plus another two million people, to purchase a copy.


>Now, fast forward to 2025. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered sold nine million copies according to the parent company, Bethesda Studios. Many of these units were sold online without the company having to pay for manufacturing and distributing a physical game disc. Despite this and the fact that it opened up to universal praise from critics and players, the studio who did the bulk of development is being hit with mass layoffs.


>Back in 1983, Atari lost money on Pac-Man and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial partly because, in that era, developers were financially responsible for buying back unsold games from retailers. But that wasn’t enough to crash the industry – the problem wasn’t with retailers or gamers, but with the executives. In 1982, Atari’s parent company Warner Communications projected that revenues would only increase fifteen percent, down from fifty percent earlier in the year. This prompted a panic among investors, who sold off their stocks and withdrew investment money.


>Video games are capital intensive and require a skilled workforce to produce, with the average game developer needing a bachelor’s degree in computer science or software engineering. Many developers experience what’s called “crunch,” a time when mismanagement by corporate executives causes workers to go through mandatory 60-hour to 80-hour work weeks, often without overtime pay or sick days. According to Jason Schrier in the New York Times, at least half of industry employees have gone through crunch and, as a result, have experienced serious physical and mental health problems such as ulcers, memory loss, severe anxiety and PTSD.


>When we are children, we love playing games in which we are super spies, Italian plumbers or magic heroes on a quest. As children we’re also taught that capitalism is about being successful and making money.


>Gaming journalist Stephanie Sterling once said, “Games are not too expensive to make – executives are too expensive to pay.” The people who make all the money in the games industry don’t do any of the actual programming, writing or art behind the games. They assume none of the risk and their whims and projections are based off of nothing but gut feelings that can destroy the lives of thousands.


>The lie of capitalism, which the video games industry lays bare, is that it’s not enough to be successful. Even if you make money, you and your job will be destroyed because investors will forever expect astronomical profits, and mass layoffs are the only way to give the illusion of eternal growth.


>E.T. didn’t kill Atari – capitalism did.

American woman describes being arrested for abortion

>By the spring of 2024, a newly sober Isenberg felt like she could finally stop performing all the time and just be herself, a complex human being who was still learning. She planned to spend the summer living with her parents while saving up money. In the fall, she would become the first person in her family to attend a four-year college. Then she got pregnant.

>The news brought a “sense of dread,” says Isenberg. Her first thought was strong and immediate: I’m not going to have a baby. After a friend had described having an abortion, Isenberg’s own mindset had started to shift. She’d begun to think of herself as pro-choice. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, she thought, if I had an abortion. This is something I’m allowed to do.


>It may seem strange that Isenberg would reach out to Turner in this moment. But she was feeling stressed, sick, and confused and wanted to have a backup plan just in case she didn’t go through with the abortion. She knew Turner—who’d also recently left PAAU but whose politics were growing more, not less, conservative—would try to talk her out of it, but she’d also recently seen Turner using her social media platforms to raise money for pregnant women and mothers in need. Isenberg had less than $100 in her bank account. If she changed her mind, she would be in dire need of financial help.


>“I was also thinking, This is Kristin Turner, the girl I was friends with,” remembers Isenberg. “I wasn’t thinking, She is acting as a vessel for people who are much more powerful than her.”


>Turner put Isenberg in touch with an organization that gave money to women with “crisis pregnancies.” She also asked for Isenberg’s address so she could send her a care package and promised a McDonald’s breakfast if Isenberg agreed to get her ultrasound at a crisis pregnancy center instead of the Charlotte Planned Parenthood (Isenberg declined the latter).


>Isenberg expected Turner and members of PAAU to offer her “counseling” and a lecture on the psychological impacts of abortion and how carrying out a pregnancy is a “nonviolent choice.” She assumed they’d ask their Instagram followers to “say a prayer for my friend who’s chosen the heartbreak of abortion,” as she’d once posted for others. But she believed that in the end, they’d respect her right to choose her own care. She thought that after she’d ignored Turner at her Planned Parenthood ultrasound, Turner would leave her alone.


>Her boyfriend, who’d been supportive since Isenberg had told him she was pregnant, drove them back to his house that day. Isenberg changed into comfortable clothes, hoping to take a nap or watch TV. A few hours later, at around 4 p.m., Turner texted again. She was at a nearby hotel with a young woman named Lydia Gibson.


>Over coffee, the women chatted for more than an hour before Turner mentioned that Isenberg’s boyfriend seemed like a nice guy. Didn’t she want to marry him and have his baby? Maybe in the future, responded Isenberg, but not yet, not now. And just like that, Turner’s tone changed. She started questioning whether Isenberg’s boyfriend was abusing Isenberg and wondering if he was forcing her to have an abortion.


>Isenberg was done. She asked for an immediate ride back to her boyfriend’s house. Turner refused, saying that Isenberg was in an “unsafe situation” and they didn’t feel comfortable taking her there. “She was putting increasing pressure on me,” recalls Isenberg. “And it’s like the frog in the boiling pot, you know? It gets to the point where you realize you’ve been cooking the whole fucking time, and it’s like, ‘I need to get out of this situation.’”


>Isenberg began the long walk back. She only made it a few blocks before an Emergency Medical Services vehicle stopped her.


>The driver said they’d received a call from someone who was concerned her friend was going to hurt herself. They were looking for a petite white girl wearing a brown t-shirt, which Isenberg was, walking by herself down the street. She found herself explaining the spiraling situation—that she was thinking of having an abortion and her former friends were upset about it. The EMTs believed her and called a police officer to drive Isenberg home.


>While her boyfriend cooked dinner, Isenberg went outside to make a phone call. As she paced across the lawn in her bare feet, wearing boxers, a t-shirt and no bra, blinding headlights approached. For a second, she thought it was Turner and Gibson again, but it was a different cop who stepped out of that car. “We have a warrant saying you are a danger to yourself and others,” Isenberg remembers the officer saying. “We’ve got to take you into custody, and they’re wanting to hold you for 72 hours in the psych ward at the hospital.” They were going to have her involuntarily committed.


>Isenberg and her boyfriend tried to explain and, in shock, she took a few steps back. “Don’t turn away from me, girl, because I’ll cuff you,” she says the officer warned. I have to stop moving and stop crying or else I’m not going to make it out of this in one piece, thought Isenberg. As she was put into the back of a squad car, she asked her boyfriend to bring her a pair of shoes.


>At the hospital, Isenberg tried to pull herself together. Her fate seemed to hinge on her credibility, but it was hard to look credible when two huge cops were marching her through the ER. In a triage room, nurses checked Isenberg’s vitals and gave her a gown. She repeated her story to every person she met, hoping someone would recognize she wasn’t supposed to be there.


>Isenberg would later learn that Lydia Gibson, in a sworn affidavit to the Gaston County magistrate, said that Isenberg “was struggling” and had taken “a bunch of pills trying to kill herself.” Gibson went further, asserting that Isenberg had “been raped before” and was “in the worst mental place of her life.” Gibson said that Isenberg’s “personality” was “not aligned with her values.” Gibson said she had driven to North Carolina “out of concern for the patient regarding her health care decisions.” (In a Reddit post from early 2025, Gibson claimed that she went to the magistrate because Isenberg had recently been to rehab and expressed “suicidal ideations” during their conversation. “I do not regret trying to intervene, to save her and her baby, and to get her the help she needed,” wrote Gibson. Cosmopolitan reached out to Gibson, who declined to comment. Isenberg says she has never experienced suicidal thoughts and certainly never expressed any to Gibson that day.)

In Copenhagen, Frederiksen’s close personal friend, Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil, who is understood to have been handpicked by the prime minister to run for lord mayor in the Danish capital, failed to get the votes she needed. The position of lord mayor, it was announced, will be held by Sisse Marie Welling from the Green Left (Socialistisk Folkeparti, known as SF), which won 17.9% of the vote. “We have written history at city hall,” she said. The Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) remained the capital’s biggest party with 22.1% of the vote.

Former police officer David Carrick guilty of fresh charges
Mr Carrick, 50, who served as an armed officer in the Metropolitan Police, sexually assaulted the child in the late 1980s. More than 20 years later, he repeatedly raped a woman and subjected her to “degrading and humiliating” abuse during the course of a toxic relationship. The offences came to light after he pleaded guilty in 2022 and 2023 to 71 sexual offences, including 48 rapes, against 12 women over 17 years.

Afghanistan seeks Indian investments, goods as Taliban minister arrives in Delhi
Landlocked Afghanistan is seeking access to grains, medicines and industrial goods following the closure of its border with Pakistan in recent weeks after armed clashes last month between the neighbours killed dozens. India operates the Iranian port of Chabahar with land links to Afghanistan and last month received a six-month sanctions waiver from the U.S. to continue its operations, reducing Kabul's reliance on the Pakistani port of Karachi.

Disease fears as Argentina child vaccination rates hit historic lows
While coverage has been slipping since 2015, public health specialists say the speed and scale of the drop in 2024 is without precedent – a collapse deepened by Javier Milei’s sweeping austerity programme, which has slashed the national health budget and strained the outreach networks that once underpinned Argentina’s vaccination successes.

Internal Rifts Delay the Democratic Center’s Selection of Its Candidate for Colombia’s Elections
Uribismo appeared ready to project a united front ahead of the 2026 primary, but in practice it has run into a storm of disagreements. The various aspirations — from Senator Maria Fernanda Cabal to the veteran Miguel Uribe Londoño, father of the slain pre-candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay — have clashed not only over personal interests but also over the party’s internal mechanics.

Mercenaries are working for the privately-owned Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

The firm guarding sites where aid is distributed in Gaza has been using members of a US biker gang with a history of hostility to Islam to run its armed security, a BBC investigation has found.

BBC News has confirmed the identities of 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club working in Gaza for UG Solutions - a private contractor providing security at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, where hundreds of civilians seeking food have been killed in scenes of chaos and gunfire.

We can reveal that seven members of the gang are in senior positions overseeing sites at the controversial aid operation backed by Israel and US President Donald Trump.

UG Solutions (UGS) defended its employees' qualifications for the job, saying it does not screen people out for "personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance".

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said it has "a zero-tolerance policy for any hateful, discriminatory biases or conduct".

Infidels MC was set up by US military veterans of the Iraq war in 2006 and members see themselves as modern Crusaders, using the Crusader cross as their symbol - a reference to the medieval Christians who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem.

The gang is currently hosting anti-Muslim hate speech on its Facebook page and has previously held a pig roast "in defiance of" the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"Putting the Infidels biker club in charge of delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza is like putting the KKK in charge of delivering humanitarian aid in Sudan. It makes no sense whatsoever," said Edward Ahmed Mitchell, deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading Muslim civil rights organisation in the US.

"It's bound to lead to violence, and that's exactly what we've seen happen in Gaza."

The gang's leader, Johnny "Taz" Mulford, is a former sergeant in the US Army who was punished for conspiracy to commit bribery, theft and making false statements to military authorities. From May to August, he was "country team leader" running UG Solutions' contract in Gaza.

We emailed Infidels MC for comment. In response, Mr Mulford instructed fellow leaders of the biker gang not to reply but included the BBC when he clicked "reply all" - inadvertently disclosing email addresses and names of fellow Infidels MC members, some of whom were working in Gaza.

By matching up names with public information about Infidels MC's leadership, and evidence from UG Solutions insiders who worked with them, we have identified 10 members of Infidels MC who Mr Mulford recruited to work with him in Gaza.

In addition to Mr Mulford, we have identified three leading members of Infidels MC who also have senior roles at UGS's Gaza operation:

Larry "J-Rod" Jarrett, who has been publicly named as the Infidels MC vice-president, and is in charge of logistics
The gang's national treasurer, Bill "Saint" Siebe, who leads the security team for one of GHF's four "safe distribution sites"
One of the gang's founding members, Richard "A-Tracker" Lofton, a team leader at another distribution site

Confidential documents, open-source information and former UGS contractors have enabled us to confirm the identities of a further six Infidels bikers hired to work in Gaza. Three of them are leaders or deputy leaders of the firm's armed security teams.

Mr Jarrett, Mr Siebe and Mr Lofton did not respond to requests for comment.

UGS told the BBC it conducts comprehensive background checks and only deploys vetted individuals. However, news reports indicate Mr Jarrett was arrested two years ago in the US for drunk driving and has a previous charge of driving under the influence from about a decade earlier. It is not known whether either case resulted in a conviction.

The founder and chief executive of UG Solutions, Jameson Govoni, was arrested earlier this year in North Carolina for his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run incident and for fleeing from police to evade arrest, according to court documents. Mr Govoni, who is based in the US and is not a member of Infidels MC, declined to comment.

Until now Mr Mulford was the only UG Solutions contractor to have been identified as a member of the Infidels. The BBC's investigation reveals how widespread his hiring of members of the biker gang has been, notably to better-paid jobs leading the UGS armed security teams.

Social media posts show that in May, just two weeks before travelling to Gaza, Mr Mulford sought to recruit US military veterans who follow him on Facebook, inviting anyone who "can still shoot, move and communicate" to apply.

In total, at least 40 of about 320 people hired to work for UG Solutions in Gaza were recruited from Infidels MC, according to an estimate by a former contractor.

UG Solutions is paying each contractor $980 (£720) per day including expenses, rising to $1,580 (£1,160) per day for team leaders at GHF's "safe distribution sites", documents seen by the BBC show.

One leader of a team in Gaza overseeing site security, Josh Miller, posted a photo of a group of contractors in Gaza with a banner reading "Make Gaza Great Again".

The banner advertises the logo of a company he owns which sells T-shirts and other clothing, including one which has the slogan "embrace violence" and another which says: "Surf all day, rockets all night. Gaza summer 25."

His company also posted a video online showing scenes of gun violence and advocating the shooting of criminals, with the caption: "Remember, always shoot until they're no longer a threat!"

Mr Miller has the word "Crusader" tattooed across his fingers and "1095" on his thumbs. This is the year when the leader of the Catholic church, Pope Urban II, launched the first crusade, attacking Muslims as a "vile race". Mr Miller did not respond to requests for comment.

A post on the Infidels MC Facebook page selling "1095" hats says it signifies the start of the Crusades, "a military campaign by western European forces to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control". The "Holy Land" refers to the area mostly covered by modern-day Israel and the Palestinian territories.

Johnny Mulford, who in addition to leading the gang is listed as the registered agent of a Florida company called Infidels MC, has the date 1095 tattooed across his chest. He has a Crusader cross tattooed on his right forearm and another on his left upper arm along with the word "Infidels".

"When you see anti-Muslim bigots today celebrating 1095, celebrating the Crusades, they are celebrating the wholesale massacre of Muslims - the erasure of Muslims and Jews from the holy city of Jerusalem," said Mr Mitchell from the US Muslim civil rights organisation CAIR.

He said the gang had the hallmarks of anti-Muslim hate groups which for decades have used the name "Infidels".

Anti-Islamic views expressed by the gang include a flyer for the pig roast during Ramadan, which the BBC found on an archived web page. It says: "In defiance of the Islamic holiday of Ramadan… we invite you to attend the Infidels MC Colorado Springs Chapter open bike party & pig roast."

The flyer also shows a woman wearing a burka that has been torn off from the neck down, exposing her chest.

The Infidels MC Facebook page has hosted clearly Islamophobic discussions. In 2020 the club shared a link to a false, satirical article claiming four US Democratic politicians, two of them Muslim, wanted the Bible to be deemed hate speech.

Comments from members of the Facebook group included: "Filling my magazine to the max. Would not be the first time we were at odds with muslims"; "Deport these pathetic skanks to a pathetic third world crap hole where they won't be offended by the Holy Bible"; and a comment dismissing "them and their Mohammad" with an expletive.

As of Wednesday, the comments remain on the Infidels MC Facebook page.

The Infidels MC website also used to show the skull logo of the violent Marvel comic book character Punisher, a symbol appropriated by white supremacist groups, inscribed with "kafir" in Arabic script - which translates as "unbeliever" (or "infidel").

Scenes of chaos and danger have been common at the aid distribution sites in Gaza since they opened at the end of May. Up to 2 September, 1,135 children, women and men were killed near GHF sites while seeking food, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

The UN has said most of the killings appear to have been carried out by Israeli security forces. Incidents where civilians were harmed while seeking aid are "under review by the competent authorities in the IDF", the Israeli military said.

UGS has denied allegations that its security contractors also fired on civilians and that it put people seeking food in danger due to incompetent leadership. However, the company has admitted that warning shots have been used to disperse crowds.

In a statement, UG Solutions, based in North Carolina, said Johnny Mulford is a "trusted and respected figure" with more than 30 years' experience supporting the US and its allies globally. "We stand by his reputation, record, and his contributions to the success of complex missions," the company said.

"We do not screen for personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance or security standards. Every team member undergoes comprehensive background checks, and only qualified, vetted individuals are deployed on UG Solutions operations," UGS said.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it relies on "people from all backgrounds" to provide aid in Gaza and to build trust with Gazans.

"The team providing aid at the Foundation's sites is diverse - and it is successful for that reason," the GHF said.

If the price of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it, how does one explain the price of luxury items or artworks (which only require a little bit of work but are overpriced due to the supply/demand imbalance)?

It might seem like a bunch of impertinent exceptions that could be overlooked but
- the luxury industry is far from being marginal
- if the premise that the value of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it isn't true in every context, then the whole law of falling rate of profit doesn't hold true in every context either

White transexuals

why are white trans women such petty pieces of shit?
you'd think being slightly more marginalized despite being in a first world country would make you at least a bit less of a bitch but it's like ya'll really just wanna fit the annoying white woman mold so much it's unreal you still wanna act like you own the queer community.

i don't want to believe in optics, but ya'll legitimately make being a transhumanist in the third world so much fucking worse in every way.

and no wonder /tttt/ thrives with how fucking milquetoast a bunch of you are yet go around with radlib talking points with next to no sense of class consciousness.

seriously the 2 sides of the white transexual are either annoying r/traa radlib or racist r/4tran grifter?

Was the Waldotop-Ribbenbop pact Bad or a Necessary Evil.

If you ask me it was bad, I don’t think that Stalin was a Nazi and the double-genocide theory is liberal propaganda but I just think Stalin was a Social-Imperialist who thought spreading communism by invading other countries was a good idea. I think he proved it isn’t. Also I don’t know why the Munich Agreement doesn’t get as much flack.

Will immigration crackdowns in the west benefit revolutionary states in the Global South?

The crackdown on immigration in the west has the potential to be a good thing for revolutionary and anti-imperialist states, because it will prevent both brain drain and loss of labor forces. The downside is that these countries won't be able to expel the reactionary elements that would otherwise go to the west, especially the US.

In Russia it's not gay to suck a cock of your superior. It's trad and Orthodox.

Semen is a bodily fluid and spermatozoid is basically a body (cell). So by swallowing semen of your superior as a Russian you are swallowing bodily fluid and eat body of your superior. Which is basically the same as Holly Communion. in Orthodox Church. In communion you drink bodily fluid (blood) and eat body of Jesus Christ who is your Lord. Lord is your superior.

So when privateer sucks cock of an officer and then swallows it's the same situation as during Holy Communion.
Therefore it's not gay as Holy Communion is not gay.

The mass grooming of young men into nazism on the sharty and imageboards

Imageboards have of course been filled with nazis for a fuck ton of time from even the start, but most people agree it mainly started when moot added /news/ then all the chudcels flooded the rest of the site, then created /pol/ and the rest is history.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).

And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.

They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

A lot of images and posts of the last general got broken. So I think it's better to make a new one.

Discuss anything on Southeast Asian politics. Coming 2024 Elections, open orgs, People that should be dead for different reasons running in Malaysia's elections or just random shit. There are still dozens of us… hopefully! Starting off this general with massive wave of cult sex camps.

Has there ever been a materialist explanation for why western socialist and communist groups are overwhelmingly white, relatively gender balanced and majority cis (disregarding pronoun nonsense)?

Whereas the membership of contemporary rightoid fascist groups is disproportionately hispanic, Indian or otherwise nonwhite, overwhelmingly male, and rife with pedophiles, perverts and other abusers?

Am I not seeing the obvious solution?

Hundreads of years of theory all seem like just useless distractions, if we want to end the capitalist mode of production we simply have to kill everyone who supports it regardless of class by growing an army that's big and strong enough to take them on. Just us versus them, if you're not with us you're against us. Isn't this literally just what has to be done?
Of course there might be people who say they are against capitalism yet not support the movement but they should be killed as well, and if they say they support the movement but don't follow the rules of the movement they should be killed too. Seems to me that cheka had it right all along. Hundreads of years wasted on dialectics and philosophy nonsense.
>BUT HOW DO WE FIGHT AGAINST NUKES?
Just start the rebellion by taking over the nuke sites first and take control. Get the nuclear briefcases and shit first. Prioritize taking over the nuclear sites of a country with nukes in one coordinated go by super special trained bodies of armed men.

Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

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

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

Is there anything else happening?

The Lessons of History.

Many people believe that economic depressions and recessions cause crime, and that economic booms are associated with low crime rates. History, however, tells a different story.

In my new LSU Press book, The Roots of Violent Crime in America: From the Gilded Age through the Great Depression, I examine in detail United States crime rates over a sixty-year period, from roughly the 1880s to 1940. I wrote about a more recent period, 1940 to 2015, in my previous book, The Rise and Fall of Violent Crime in America (2016). Together, these works provide new insights into the relationship between crime and various social conditions: poverty, immigration, economic crises, weakness in the criminal justice system, group subcultures of violence, and more.

A major issue addressed by Roots of Violent Crime, which I would like to touch on here, is the relationship between economic conditions and violent crime. I will limit my remarks to crimes of violence, that is, murder, rape, assault, and forcible robbery. This leaves out property crimes, such as theft/larceny, fraud, burglary, and arson. I’m also excluding so-called public order offenses, including drunk driving, weapons violations, and immigration crimes.

Property crimes and public order offenses correlate with economic conditions in a different way than violent crimes. One can readily see why. Suppose we have a terrible depression, as in the 1930s, with millions of people desperate for necessities and even for food itself. It doesn’t take much to imagine theft and burglary rising in such a situation. As I will show, however, violent crime does not follow the same trajectory as property crime, though it is widely believed that economic decline is a principal cause of crime increase.

The United States has suffered numerous economic recessions, the worst of which (the Great Depression) lasted for more than a full decade, from the stock market crash of late 1929 to the war boom of 1941. Major recessions also occurred in 1873–1879, 1893–1897, and 2007–2009. But there was no consistent relationship between economic decline or economic booms and violent crime.

In the 1890s, a major recession and the influx of millions of massively impoverished immigrants should by popular assumption have produced higher violent crime rates. As I write in Roots of Violent Crime (p. 168):

“If cities breed crime, then the late nineteenth-century United States should have experienced a crime tsunami. Not only did America’s urban population soar, but the living conditions in those cities were, by contemporary measures, petri dishes for criminality. The new urban masses were poor, often desperately so. They were densely packed into the most appalling housing, when not forced by impoverishment to sleep in public places or police station barracks. Urbanites below the middle class were unable to support their children past age twelve, leading city youth to drop out of school to work long hours, or to join street gangs and steal for survival. The cities were governed by thoroughly crooked municipal regimes, such as the notorious Tammany Hall in New York. The police, essentially a security force for the corrupt city governments, were untrained, incompetent, and abusive—free with their nightsticks, especially in dealing with the ‘dangerous classes’ of poor immigrants. The immigrant groups, moreover, along with African Americans who were just beginning their northward migration, were routinely discriminated against because of their nationality, their religion, or their appearance and socially isolated from the city’s middle class, who fled to less menacing suburbs.”

Despite these dreadful conditions violent crime was low, especially in the big cities of the Northeast. Here are the murder rates (per 100,000) in 1890 for six cities. For comparison, consider the murder rates (per 100,000) in these same cities one century later.

As important as the crime rates are, the nature of violent crime in the 1890s was just as significant. Robbery of strangers, the scourge of the crime wave from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s, was virtually unknown in the late nineteenth century. Crime historian Roger Lane once reported that “robbery at gunpoint was so rare in the urban East” that a Bronx saloon holdup in 1895 made headlines in Philadelphia, and the story ran for a week! In 1990, by contrast, an armed robbery in the Bronx wouldn’t even have produced an article, much less a headline, in New York City newspapers.

Jumping ahead to the 1920s, we find an economic boom period. From 1920 to 1929, the nation’s gross domestic product rose 42 percent. The unemployment rate averaged just 5.5 percent. Disposable personal income went from $71.5 billion to $83.3 billion, a jump of 16.5 percent.

Despite the boom, violent crime soared. The chart below shows homicide rates from 1920 to 1940. Notice that the 1920s rates were around 9 per 100,000, which is about the same as the rate from 1970 to 1990. But the big difference was the absence of “muggings.” Robbery was a much greater threat in the 1970s–1990s

Now, you are probably thinking that Prohibition and the booze gang wars were responsible for the high murder rates in the 1920s. Actually, Prohibition had a mixed impact. On the one hand, it spurred shooting wars between organized crime gangs, which increased murder rates in the biggest cities. On the other hand, Prohibition made beer and other alcoholic beverages very expensive, resulting in less public drunkenness and fewer incidents of associated crimes. It also closed down the saloons, which were centers for young male violence.

The Great Depression of the 1930s underscores the inconsistent relationship between violent crime and the economy. Murder rates had been hovering around 9 per 100,000 when the Crash of 1929 occurred. These rates rose even further in the early ’30s, the worst years of the Depression. By 1932 an estimated 28 percent of the nation’s households, containing 34 million people, did not have a single employed wage earner. The economy began to improve after 1934 and voila! Crime fell off sharply. This suggests that economic improvement reduces violent crime. But . . . there was a major economic downturn in 1937–38 (the “Roosevelt Recession”)—nearly four million people lost their jobs, boosting total unemployment to 11.5 million—and despite this recession within the Depression, violent crime continued to decline.

So, there is no trend, no consistent relationship, between general economic conditions and violent crime. This anomaly continued after World War II. Violent crime soared during pe­riods of great prosperity, such as the late 1960s, and declined during recessions, such as in 2007–2009.

What is the explanation for this? The main factor is that violent crimes (except robbery) are not, by and large, motivated by economic concerns. Murder and assault tend to be precipitated by anger, sexual jealousy, perceived insults and threats, long-standing personal quarrels, and similar issues, frequently facilitated by alcohol or some other disinhibiting substance.

Rises and falls in violent crime are less affected by general economic conditions than by demographics (the size of the young male population), weakness in the criminal justice system, the migration or immigration of groups with historically high rates of violence, violent youth gangs, and the widespread availability of firearms

Politically, there are no people more repulsive to me than those Balts (by the way, I’m not a Russophile or anything like that). Such an exhausting underass fly syndrome and good house uyghur vibe radiates from all three countries in that forgotten little corner of Europe. To some extent, it can be understood, considering their position and historical context, but their pathological hatred and Nazi-leaning collusion, in the style of an obedient little dog, is so irritating and disgusting that it goes beyond anything that could justify them.

I don’t know what your experience with them is, but whenever I’ve come across someone from that crowd - mostly online - it’s always the same impression: they throw shade and open hatred toward 'my' country (‘little Russia, blah blah blah’), convinced that they’re above the Russians, with some strange badger-like habitus about them. Incredibly unpleasant people.

Key takeaways are as follows Lenin abandoned his ideals from State and Revolution, that being a state that eliminates the alienation caused by the difference between worker and politician that is prevalent in bourgeoisie democracy, due to the civil war. But kept the elimination of the distinction of different branches of government and that the idea that all political conflict arises from different class interests. The state was separated into two halves the Soviet Government and the Party with a matching set of hierarchy. With the goal of the party to guide the government, but as time went on the distinction between the too blurred. With the Politburo becoming the head of state due to its quick ability to create and pass laws as compared the slow bureaucratic soviet government. The party at all times dominated the government and prevented from any real change in policy from it.

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?

No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.

So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

Are we doomed?

Climate Change is the biggest threat to humanity and nobody is doing anything about it, 10 years ago we would hear about it in the news and people would protest but people don’t even do that anymore. The only solution to stop the world from being destroyed in 10 years is to nationalize the extraction industry so we only burn as much fossil fuels as we need until we can fully convert to renewable energy but nobody will do that because that’s communism. Conservatives like to deny that climate change exists and censor journalists and scientists who speak the truth while liberals like to say “It’s Trump’s fault!” Even though they are just as responsible because Obama and Biden did nothing to stop this. The only hope I ever feel when reading the news about climate change is hearing about China’s clean energy infrastructure, it’s so good that I have to end this on it so I don’t have a mental breakdown.

MIT Study Shows 47% Of Americans Believe Movies And Television Shows Are Being Broadcast LIVE (In Re

MIT Study Shows 47% Of Americans Believe Movies And Television Shows Are Being Broadcast LIVE (In Real Time)

A recent study conducted at MIT revealed that the American audience believes films are being broadcast in real time. Professor Dalton Peters had been working on this study for “quite some time now”, almost thirteen years. We interviewed professor Peters and he had this to say: “I was surprised by my findings at first but then it started to click. Many Americans believe that any time they watch any movie, the actors, crew, directors, whoever, are all on scene broadcasting the film over and over again… it’s bizarre to think about, the fact they don’t understand the technology involved. We have phones now we record things, how have they not grasped this concept?” We also conducted our own bit of research and opened a poll asking viewers what they believed was going on when they sat down to watch their film. Our polls showed much higher numbers, sixty three percent of people we asked (this is over five thousand people) believed the same thing, films they were watching were being broadcast live. We got in contact with a few of those who took our poll;

“you’re telling me they don’t record it every time we watch it, na, no way LOL. I don’t believe it you can’t believe everything you see on tv everyday, that’s what separates us from them.” - Brad Jacobs, 63

“If that’s the case why do actors get paid millions, it’s because it’s hard work! They have to keep doing it over and over again” - Megan Bologna , 54

“It’s false. Any time I’ve watched a movie again there’s always something different, I’m very observant so I see all these things many people don’t look for. The acting is different every time, it’s false” - Pete Walker, 28

“I don’t believe it, I don’t say that as a way of expressing shock, I genuinely don’t believe it. It’s impossible, like how are you able to keep playing the same movie over and over again it costs money to do that and it’s cheaper to have the actors playing the same part over and over again, never heard of any recordings, that’s why it’s called film it’s a film” - Michael Wednesday

The answers left us stunned, were we being deceived by people online or is there another reality, are Americans severely uneducated? I couldn’t be a straightforward answer, whatever the case a large majority of Americans believe the films and television shows that they watch are being broadcast live. This can’t just be exclusive to America.

100 percent employment LE BAD

one of the biggest things they teach in bourgeois economics is that "actually 100% employment is BAD! because it means people can't quit their jobs if they want to and the supply of labor in the labor market will be too low!" I see it dropped casually like it's just a matter-of-fact by people, especially "influencers" who aren't even bourgeois or economists because it's repeated so often. I hate this myth so fucking much for so many reasons, but it's obviously functioning as an ideological justification for the reserve army of labor whether the people repeating it realize that or not (they usually don't even know what the reserve army of labor is). People quit their jobs because their wages are too low, instead of getting organized, because getting organized is harder than quitting and begging another porky for a job. Then when they're begging porky for another job, which can take literally months, they are getting application after application rejected for no good reason, and finally they get desperate and accept a job that is as bad or even worse than their previous job. Most people desire stable employment and a living wage and only quit their job because their wage is shit. So saying or implying that having an unemployment rate of 5-10% is "good" because "people can quit their jobs due to high mobility in the labor market!" functions to justify this state of affairs.

Porky has always opposed 100% unemployment. Pic and vid related.

India's Geopolitics is a fucking mess

Let's put aside the elephant in the room (India's obsession with Israel), and even their anti-muslim pro-hindu-obsession. Just look at their diplomatic and trade situation with Russia, China, and the USA.

India, by the laws of history, should have become communist-led by 2010, the latest. Socialism was (and still is) the class interest of 98% of their population. It's fucking insane, if you think about how cucked their comprador bourgeoisie situation is + the underdeveloped state of their infrastructure, their semi-feudal small manufacturing, their idiotic e-scam economy, the absolute destitution of their villages/peasants, and so on. Obviously, it was the USA that """"helped"""" India to get rid of the Naxalite """"threat"""".

But then you look at this fucking country's geopolitics/diplomacy/trade and it DOESN'T MAKE FUCKING SENSE, DUDE.
