Am i the only one here who is not opposed to RFK's idea of wellness camp for autistic kids from a Left wing perspective?
Like yeah i get the concern that these could be euthanasia camp for disabled kids in practice (even though i think this is mainly fearmongering, the rhetoric used by the Trvmp admin for autistic kids are clearly removed from the dehumanizing ones they used against migrants) but a wellness camp run by the state is what socialized healthcare means in practice.
The current model of autistic therapy which focused on a collaboration between psychiatrists and nuclear family units is kinda reactionary but above all just doesn't work. Most parents are not well equipped to handle an autistic kid and often resorted to either abusing or neglecting them. It makes more sense, both from a humanist and economic perspective, to pool these kids in a camp where a specialized staff of professionals will help them in a controlled environment. Feel free to disagree though i'm looking at this from a layman perspective

But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

Political implications of more Americans converting to Catholicism?
The American right was heavily associated with Evangelical idpol for the past 50 years. They became the cultural backbone of the GOP from the 80s to the late 2000s. Now it appears like a huge number of former Evangelicals are converting to Catholicism. I even know some ex-Mormons who are Catholic now.
At the same time, it seems like leftists are embracing Catholicism too. Remember when everyone was convinced Pope Francis was a secret socialist? Jacobin mag goes out of their way with appealing to Catholics as well (every other article of theirs is something along the lines of: “Move over pink-haired bipolar feminist queers, here’s why the Catholic Church are the REAL socialists!”). People like Dorothy Day are propped up even though her actual contributions to the American left were minimal and symbolic at best (the Catholic Worker also referred to the priests killed by /ourguys/ in Catalonia as “martyrs” which is disgusting). Not to mention, the Jacobin crowd seems very big on appealing to right-wing Catholic sentiments like complaining about birthrates being too low and proposing Bernie-style policies like universal healthcare to “fix” it, as if low birthrates are a problem to begin with.
But anyway, if Catholicism becomes a major cultural force in America in the next few years how do you see it affecting the political landscape?

>As AI models evolve from simple text generation to more complex image, video, and music generation, data requirements are expanding rapidly, further amplifying energy demand. Since 2022, global investment in data centres has nearly doubled, reaching half a trillion dollars in 2024. However, this boom has also triggered mounting concerns around the sector’s growing energy footprint. Today, data centres and data transmission networks are responsible for about 1 percent of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
>AI-optimised data centres, particularly hyperscale facilities, are pushing energy use to unprecedented levels. Some centres now require 100 megawatts or more of electricity. For perspective, a single large-scale facility can consume as much electricity annually as 350,000 to 400,000 electric vehicles.
>In 2022, data centres consumed an estimated 240 to 340 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, accounting for approximately 1 to 1.3 percent of global electricity demand. Electricity demand from AI-optimised data centres is projected to more than quadruple by 2030, reaching about 945 TWh, which would exceed Japan’s current electricity consumption.
>As of March 2025, the United States holds the largest number of data centres globally, operating 5,426 facilities. As a result, the USA accounts for the highest share of global data centre electricity consumption, responsible for 45 percent of global usage in 2024, followed by China at 25 percent and Europe at 15 percent.
>In the United States, data centres are expected to drive nearly half of the country’s electricity demand growth between now and 2030. By the end of the decade, the USA will consume more electricity for data centres than for the production of aluminium, steel, cement, chemicals, and all other energy-intensive goods combined.
>A recent study examined 2,132 data centres operating across the United States, representing 78 percent of all facilities, between September 2023 and August 2024. The findings showed that these data centres accounted for over 4 percent of total US electricity consumption, with more than half of that electricity sourced from fossil fuels. This contributed to more than 105 million tons of CO2e emissions, representing 2.18 percent of total US emissions in 2023.
>The strain on local power grids will continue to intensify as more data centres are built. Construction timelines for new centres often outpace upgrades to grid and transmission infrastructure. Several jurisdictions have already paused new data centre projects to process connection backlogs and evaluate grid capacity. Rising concerns over electricity availability and prices have led some regions to consider temporary moratoriums on development.
>Data centers consume water primarily to cool servers from overheating. A Cornell University study estimates AI demand alone could require 4.2–6.6 billion cubic meters of fresh water annually by 2027, roughly half of the UK’s yearly usage.
>The demand for water for data center cooling is exacerbating the water crisis in water-sensitive regions already suffering from the effects of climate-related water shortages. Stakeholder engagement is most necessary while choosing a location to set up new data centers. While huge data centers generate employment and create an uptick in the economy, the environmental cost of setting up a data center needs to be assessed first. One such example was the proposed approval for a data center in Arizona which is known for its arid landscape and water woes.
>In 2021, Google’s global data centers consumed approximately 4.3 billion gallons (16.2 billion litres) of water altogether. Though water-cooled data centers consume less energy to cool heating and emit roughly 10% less carbon emissions than air-cooled data centers, they still place immense stress on freshwater resources.
>Data centers contain thousands of components with varied life cycles. While servers, batteries, and networking equipment typically require replacement every 3–5 years, infrastructure such as air conditioning systems and generators may last over a decade.
>Short upgrade cycles—especially in high-performance facilities—result in significant volumes of e-waste. In a 2020 survey, 42% of IT managers reported replacing servers every 2–3 years. Given the scale of global data centers, e-waste volumes are staggering.
>Data centers require substantial real estate and resources, often competing with agriculture, housing, or other commercial sectors. In some regions, their expansion fuels gentrification, increases land costs, and stresses local infrastructure.
>Noise pollution from data centers is rarely ever spoken about, even though it increasingly affects nearby communities. The constant hum of servers, network switches, routers, air conditioning systems, and industrial cooling fans creates significant and persistent noise levels. This mechanical chorus can generate sound levels exceeding 80 dBA, comparable to a leaf blower.
>Communities living near large data centers frequently report health concerns linked to the unceasing background noise. Chronic exposure causes sleep disturbance, headache, hearing loss, elevated stress hormone levels, hypertension, anxiety, and even cardiovascular risks.
>Persistent land-based noise pollution also affects other species. Noise from data centers disrupts animal communication, alters natural behavior, and forces wildlife to change migration patterns.

Data Centers are killing the planet
>The exponential growth of data and the rising demand for data centres is challenging global climate progress.

>In 2021, Google’s global data centers consumed approximately 4.3 billion gallons (16.2 billion litres) of water altogether. Though water-cooled data centers consume less energy to cool heating and emit roughly 10% less carbon emissions than air-cooled data centers, they still place immense stress on freshwater resources.
>Data centers contain thousands of components with varied life cycles. While servers, batteries, and networking equipment typically require replacement every 3–5 years, infrastructure such as air conditioning systems and generators may last over a decade.
>Short upgrade cycles—especially in high-performance facilities—result in significant volumes of e-waste. In a 2020 survey, 42% of IT managers reported replacing servers every 2–3 years. Given the scale of global data centers, e-waste volumes are staggering.
>Data centers require substantial real estate and resources, often competing with agriculture, housing, or other commercial sectors. In some regions, their expansion fuels gentrification, increases land costs, and stresses local infrastructure.
>Noise pollution from data centers is rarely ever spoken about, even though it increasingly affects nearby communities. The constant hum of servers, network switches, routers, air conditioning systems, and industrial cooling fans creates significant and persistent noise levels. This mechanical chorus can generate sound levels exceeding 80 dBA, comparable to a leaf blower.
>Communities living near large data centers frequently report health concerns linked to the unceasing background noise. Chronic exposure causes sleep disturbance, headache, hearing loss, elevated stress hormone levels, hypertension, anxiety, and even cardiovascular risks.
>Persistent land-based noise pollution also affects other species. Noise from data centers disrupts animal communication, alters natural behavior, and forces wildlife to change migration patterns.

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.
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?

I live in Montreal. For the past seven years, our city has undergone a pretty serious transformation investing in “people-oriented” infrastructure like bike lanes, green spaces, third spaces, pedestrianized streets in the summer, more train lines, and lots and lots of trees and community gardens. Even though it’s happening in a bourgeois context, these are all things leftists have been demanding as a way of making cities more pleasurable and inclusive for residents. The problem is, many of these plans have been met with huge public opposition. People complain about lack of parking spaces, a “war on cars”, too many bikes on the road, too little money spent on other infrastructure, and similar things. My question is, under socialism we would want our cities to be redesigned this way, but how would we manage the huge public opposition to it if there was an opposition to begin with? How would we convince people that, say, giant flower pots in parking spaces is a good thing? Or that public transit is better than cars? Or that mixed-use buildings are good?
Just asking because comrades can’t implement shit if the will of the people goes against us.
New Urbanism
How do comrades plan on successfully going about redesigning cities?I live in Montreal. For the past seven years, our city has undergone a pretty serious transformation investing in “people-oriented” infrastructure like bike lanes, green spaces, third spaces, pedestrianized streets in the summer, more train lines, and lots and lots of trees and community gardens. Even though it’s happening in a bourgeois context, these are all things leftists have been demanding as a way of making cities more pleasurable and inclusive for residents. The problem is, many of these plans have been met with huge public opposition. People complain about lack of parking spaces, a “war on cars”, too many bikes on the road, too little money spent on other infrastructure, and similar things. My question is, under socialism we would want our cities to be redesigned this way, but how would we manage the huge public opposition to it if there was an opposition to begin with? How would we convince people that, say, giant flower pots in parking spaces is a good thing? Or that public transit is better than cars? Or that mixed-use buildings are good?
Just asking because comrades can’t implement shit if the will of the people goes against us.

does this phenomenon have a name?
had an argument with a person insisting that putin is communist, and their reasoning was that they promote soviet nostalgia, which I argued is just the most readily available reactionary building material available for them as a fascist. it took me a good while to realize that they were not a tankie arguing in bad faith to push putin, but a manchurian nationalist arguing in bad faith to denigrate them. I don't know what to make of this, but I found it amusing that kuomintang lovers are almost perfectly aligned with tankie russia defenders in their talking points on communism, both having equally well honed anti-communist messaging.

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.
The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.
There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.
The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.
Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

MAGA Pedos on Dark Web Plotting against LGBT
I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed.

You see why most Fascists today just stick to relying on shock value by saying the N-word or posting pictures of dead queer people or finding new meme slurs for jews, because when they try and do actually "serious theory" it becomes too obvious how vapid their ideology truly is, although to be fair not many people would immediately even recognise this as fascist because 99% of people only know fascism as "the bad guys in Indiana Jones". Same reason people don't realize how a movie like Metropolis is actually more "orthodox" fascist than Triumph of the Will.
Hell, most people have no idea what fascist class theory actually was because they assume it was the same as marxism for which they also don't know what it is.

How exactly should we react when a cultural icon (or person with a decent amount of cultural significance) is revealed to be a Zionist?
I know there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, but seeing cultural figures be openly pro-Zionism especially when the Zionist entity is engaged in an overt genocide and mass-starvation is honestly disgusting. I was told that the main purpose of BDS isn’t to “crash” the Zionist entity’s economy but rather to expose how engulfed modern culture is in Zionism, like when you realize boycotting is near impossible because entire industries have ties to the Zionist entity such as the music and film industries.
Soft power is a lot more powerful than we realize and even using a term like “Israeli salad” or working with a Zionist settler normalizes Zionist colonialism and genocide. What must we do to end this? And how should we treat notable figures who are pro-Zionist given that they normalize Zionism and manufacture consent for genocide at all times?

Heredia read the sentence to the court in an afternoon hearing on Friday. Uribe will be fined $578,000, Heredia's ruling said, and barred from public office for more than eight years. Uribe, whose legal team has said it will appeal, is to report to authorities in Rionegro, in Antioquia province, where he resides, and then "proceed immediately to his residence where he will comply with house arrest," the ruling said. … Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this week that Uribe's conviction was a "weaponization of Colombia's judicial branch by radical judges" and analysts have said there could be cuts to U.S. aid in response.

Collapse at Chile’s major copper mine kills 1 worker and leaves 5 missing
Authorities said they’re still investigating whether it was a naturally occurring earthquake or whether mining activity at Codelco’s flagship El Teniente mine caused the quake. Chilean prosecutors also launched a criminal investigation to determine whether any safety standards were violated. Chile’s national disaster response service, Senapred, said that the tremor struck the Machalí commune in the O’Higgins region, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the capital, Santiago.

Argentine Justice Minister under flak for hidden camera footage
Argentina's Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona is facing calls for his resignation after a video was leaked showing him offering to help former CIA agent Timothy Ballard clean up his public image. Ballard, who inspired the film Sound of Freedom, has been accused of sexual violence by former employees of his anti-trafficking organization, Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.).

Peruvian informal miners suspend talks with government due to disagreements in negotiations
CONFEMIN union leader, Maximo Franco Bequer, told reporters the government refused to alter an August 17 deadline for miners to move explosives into formal "powder magazines." He said 20,000 miners who cannot meet the deadline would be excluded from a government program to formalize their work.

South Korea’s jailed ex-President Yoon defies probe, removes prison uniform to avoid questioning
South Korea’s jailed ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to attend questioning by investigators Friday, using a new method to resist: He took off his prison uniform and lay down on the floor at his detention room. … . On Friday, Min Joong-ki, a special counsel named by his liberal rival and new President Lee Jae Myung, sent investigators to retrieve Yoon from a detention center near Seoul after the former president twice defied requests to attend questioning. Min’s team is tasked with delving into allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife Kim Keon Hee, including that she and her husband exerted inappropriate influence on the then-ruling party’s election nomination process in 2022.

Worker resistance stops Karnataka government’s plan to increase IT work hours
Workers in India’s IT hub have won a significant victory. The government in the south Indian state of Karnataka – the hub of the Information Technology (IT) industry in the country – has finally decided to withdraw its proposals to increase the maximum working hours in the IT/ITes sector, following a relentless struggle by the Karnataka State IT/ITes Employees Union (KITU). After a meeting with the state’s additional labor commissioner, KITU announced its victory against the regressive move in a statement on Tuesday. Scores of IT workers took to the streets to celebrate the victory.

Secretive overhaul of New Zealand terror law targets protests
Beagle said the changes proposed by the New Zealand government could be similarly used to shut down organisations it did not like. “People will be criminalised not just for being members of an organisation but for expressing support for the issue it was focused on. These are highly dangerous attacks on freedom of expression and freedom of association,” he said. Speaking to independent journalist Mick Hall, Beagle added that the NZCCL was “horrified that they [the UK] have sunk so far and so quickly.” The NZ proposals, he noted, accompany a decision by the Independent Police Conduct Authority seeking to give police the power to unilaterally ban protests in the event of a “high chance of public disorder and threats to public safety.”

Decision delayed for pro-Palestine protest on Sydney Harbour Bridge as police warn of possible crowd crush
Pro-Palestine protesters will have to wait until Saturday to find out if they can legally march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge this weekend, but organisers are vowing to go ahead regardless of the court decision.

Hezbollah stocks aid in north Lebanon as fears of renewed Israel war grow
With Lebanon still reeling from last year’s war and economic collapse, fears of another large-scale conflict are growing. Southern villages have been devastated, and civilian casualties continue even under the ceasefire. The Lebanese government places the death toll at 4,000, while Reuters previously reported that Hezbollah may have suffered around that number in its ranks alone. Since the ceasefire, Israeli strikes have continued to kill civilians. Hezbollah rarely acknowledges casualties.

US weighs designating Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group
The New York Times first reported on Tuesday that the administration was pushing to designate the group, but the idea is not new. Some people think the Muslim Brotherhood does not meet the legal criteria required for the designation. Others think the organization is too diverse and spread out across nations, making it difficult to enforce a one-size-fits-all description. There also questions about whether a designation would complicate U.S. diplomacy.

Colombia ex-president Uribe sentenced to 12 years of house arrest, will appealHeredia read the sentence to the court in an afternoon hearing on Friday. Uribe will be fined $578,000, Heredia's ruling said, and barred from public office for more than eight years. Uribe, whose legal team has said it will appeal, is to report to authorities in Rionegro, in Antioquia province, where he resides, and then "proceed immediately to his residence where he will comply with house arrest," the ruling said. … Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this week that Uribe's conviction was a "weaponization of Colombia's judicial branch by radical judges" and analysts have said there could be cuts to U.S. aid in response.

Collapse at Chile’s major copper mine kills 1 worker and leaves 5 missing
Authorities said they’re still investigating whether it was a naturally occurring earthquake or whether mining activity at Codelco’s flagship El Teniente mine caused the quake. Chilean prosecutors also launched a criminal investigation to determine whether any safety standards were violated. Chile’s national disaster response service, Senapred, said that the tremor struck the Machalí commune in the O’Higgins region, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the capital, Santiago.

South Korea’s jailed ex-President Yoon defies probe, removes prison uniform to avoid questioning
South Korea’s jailed ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to attend questioning by investigators Friday, using a new method to resist: He took off his prison uniform and lay down on the floor at his detention room. … . On Friday, Min Joong-ki, a special counsel named by his liberal rival and new President Lee Jae Myung, sent investigators to retrieve Yoon from a detention center near Seoul after the former president twice defied requests to attend questioning. Min’s team is tasked with delving into allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife Kim Keon Hee, including that she and her husband exerted inappropriate influence on the then-ruling party’s election nomination process in 2022.

Worker resistance stops Karnataka government’s plan to increase IT work hours
Workers in India’s IT hub have won a significant victory. The government in the south Indian state of Karnataka – the hub of the Information Technology (IT) industry in the country – has finally decided to withdraw its proposals to increase the maximum working hours in the IT/ITes sector, following a relentless struggle by the Karnataka State IT/ITes Employees Union (KITU). After a meeting with the state’s additional labor commissioner, KITU announced its victory against the regressive move in a statement on Tuesday. Scores of IT workers took to the streets to celebrate the victory.

Secretive overhaul of New Zealand terror law targets protests
Beagle said the changes proposed by the New Zealand government could be similarly used to shut down organisations it did not like. “People will be criminalised not just for being members of an organisation but for expressing support for the issue it was focused on. These are highly dangerous attacks on freedom of expression and freedom of association,” he said. Speaking to independent journalist Mick Hall, Beagle added that the NZCCL was “horrified that they [the UK] have sunk so far and so quickly.” The NZ proposals, he noted, accompany a decision by the Independent Police Conduct Authority seeking to give police the power to unilaterally ban protests in the event of a “high chance of public disorder and threats to public safety.”

"Tomorrow, special envoy Witkoff and ambassador Huckabee will be travelling into Gaza to inspect the current (aid) distribution sites and secure a plan to deliver more food and meet with local Gazans to hear firsthand about this dire situation on the ground," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday. The visit will be Witkoff’s second to Gaza and the first visit from a US ambassador to the enclave in over two decades. It reflects mounting pressure by Trump to address the enclaves' starving Palestinians, as resentment grows not only among US allies but within his own MAGA base.

4. look it up
5. was it invented later or earlier than you guessed? how off were you? do we even know when it was invented?
I'll start
Invention: hourglasses
Guess: Rome 200BC
Answer: We don't know but they started showing up in Europe in the 1300s. pic rel is the first known depiction of one.
I thought they were made way earlier! Surprised. Maybe glass making wasn't sophisticated enough for the thin bottleneck before the 1300s?

I’m seeing so many social media posts claiming maximalist aesthetics like heavy makeup, brightly-coloured wardrobe, etc. are an “act of defiance” against “clean girl conservatism and MAGA fascism”, emphasizing that minimalism and the “clean girl” aesthetic are indicative of fascism, purity, eugenics, and whatnot. This makes no sense to me. Being in my 30s, I remember when minimalism and anti-consumerism were largely associated with the radical left. Think Ad Busters and CrimethInc. Gen X and xennial comrades were extremely anti-consumerist and preached a minimalist lifestyle. At the same time, maximalist aesthetics were largely associated with the right, because they were seen as indicative of mindless consumerism and neoliberalism, e.g. right-wing women were the ones showing off their 200 different eyeshadows, 60 different pairs of shoes, and 27 different handbags. Today, it’s like the paradigms have flipped. Having 200 eyeshadows and 60 different pairs of shoes is now promoted as revelling against “Trump Era conformity”. The beige-ification of everything is entirely blamed on American politics becoming more conservative, despite the fact this was already going on years prior when Biden was in office. Hell, I’m even seeing progressive women complain about a “war on femininity” on the basis that Trump’s America wants to privilege traditional masculinity and wants to keep “girl-like” aesthetics that allegedly emphasize weakness out of public view (ironically, right-wing women have long complained about a “war on femininity” being lead by feminists and queer activists).
So what’s going on? My understanding is that this is another example of how liberals erroneously believe they can offset fascism by propping up neoliberal individualism. It’s liberals who are now pushing mindless consumerism as the antidote to Trump’s system, because they think being an individual who stands out will “defy” a conservative cultural shift. This is so pathetic I don’t even know where to start.
Am I full of shit, or are others seeing the same thing?

7th October: the point?
This is not an anti-Hamas post, this is not to discourage Palestinian resistance or to legitimise Israel. It is also well established that the violence, ethnic cleansing and land grabbing did not start on October 7th. My question is simple, what did Hamas expect to happen after October 7th? Like I cannot understand what this attack, even if everything went their way, would positively accomplish?

But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious. You have to pack, organise a passport, deal with airports, security and there’s just so much waiting! And that’s if everything goes to plan and to schedule. Things can easily get canceled or postponed. Then you’ve got jet lag to deal with, different currencies, language barriers, etc.
Even if you’re not going overseas/flying it’s not like road tripping is any better. Sitting in a car for hours on end just plain sucks.
And don’t think I’m only hating on the actual transport, being away from home sucks too. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb or camping or whatever, you’re away from home and all your things; you’re own bed, your own room, your pets, all your other bits and pieces that make your home your own.
Travel is Kinda Bullshit
We have no history of travel.So many people out there say they love traveling and will happily tell you about all the places they been to and sights they’ve seen and where they want to go to next. It’s also one of the first things people say they would do if they had more time and money.But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious.

None of our cities will survive if there isn't a Nayib Bukele put in charge of every single one
I don't know what to tell you if you don't accept that, but the crime and gang problem in inner city America is out of control. What soy leftists don't want to acknowledge is that broken window theory is actually true. Do they think any of the socialist states would have tolerated lumpen chimp-outs, let alone ones on the scale facing American cities? The calls for "restorative justice", police reform, judicial reform, prison reform can only work if the current generation of gangs are swept off the street. Leftoids forget that the Clinton crime bill was heavily backed by African-American community leaders who were desperate to see the gangs gone. Prison reform? Yeah, send them to a gulag to do some productive labor.

They say AI will take over people's jobs, how do we fight against it?
So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

we already got multiple controversial rulers of the US, such as a fascist currently being president for example, which led to many americans being anti migration, and the economy might crash soon. germany is probably gonna become nazi germany all over again. UK literally banned porn i think, ukraine’s invading russia, and the president of israel is presumably sick as well. so will both america and the west collapse? or will it continue to live on but not have as much power on the world as they used to be since they’re just fucking themselves over?

The Algerian independence struggle was exceptionally bloody. During that time, the entire global left stood in solidarity with the FLN and its goals. It was the anti-colonial struggle to end all anti-colonial struggles. However, what really became of it?
Algeria never became communist. It's largest trading partner post-independence was France, its former colonizers. Of course the Soviets provided them with support but the Algerian government joined the Non-Aligned Movement instead of becoming part of the Soviet sphere of influence. The most the USSR did for Algeria was supply them with guns.
So why didn't the anti-colonial struggle in Algeria result in socialism? Why does Algeria today have barely any relevance to the global left? The most we hear about that country is how much it beefs with Morocco over territorial lines or some shit. It's one of the largest countries in the world with mountains and a big ass desert but no vital resources? Plus every Algerian with money or an education has migrated to France or Quebec.
What went wrong, when this country had such a promising future 60 years ago?

Clive Davis is arguably the most powerful man in the entertainment industry, moreso than Lucian Grainge and whomever runs Disney. He is 92 years old and an ultra-billionaire porky. Like Diddy, there have been rumors swarming for years that Davis is behind a lot of shady shit, namely running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in the music industry in the 2000s. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything. This can be explained by the suspicions Davis is a federal informant who's been working with the FBI for decades to get blackmail dirt on celebrities, identical to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Davis essentially buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. Everything Diddy is currently charged with are things he learned from Davis. It gets deeper when you look at the trial. Diddy, like his mentor Davis, is also an alleged FBI informant. It's rumored Diddy orchestrated Tupac's murder (the feds wanted Pac dead because he was a Black communist breadpilling people through his rhymes) and almost certainly had something to do with Biggie's death as well. The prosecutor against Diddy is allegedly James Comey's daughter, Comney being the same prosecutor in the Epstein/Maxwell case. Given that the prosecution is currently floundering (they have yet to prove Diddy is a sex trafficker, only that he's a sexual pervert with a piss and cuckold fetish) one can easily see that this is allegedly a cover up of an alleged cover up: either Diddy walks free and everyone involved goes about doing their evil, or Diddy is found guilty and becomes the fall guy while the bigger villains (specifically Davis) go unchecked.
To put the cherry on the sundae: Clive Davis owns a school at NYU, the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Everyone who teaches there is getting paid by Clive; you can clearly see an overlap with the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

does such a thing exist? we know that we translate a field of information given to our sense organs into intelligible forms of feeling. we see light within a particular EM spectrum, while invisible phenomena may be visible via artificial instruments like infrared cameras. within the broad field of information therefore, we can only interpret some of it, but would it be possible to interpret all of it at once? what would this mean?
other instruments such as large telescopes do not interpret light waves, but rather, radio waves - the stars which we "see" in their final product have been recoded from ancient and distant etchings. so if we had ears like radio telescopes, then we could "hear" outer space by seeing it in a colourless antiquity - but does this make it a more "true" experience?
well, as it should be known, a radio telescope can receive stars as shapes, but it cannot receive telecommunications on earth as sound, because it isnt tuned for this. like frequencies for a radio device, phenomena is only perceptible within a particular band. so information is infinite, but its interpretation is inherently limited. what we experience currently then is still "true reality", but just within a particular frequency band. i think if "true reality" has a face, it is most likely just formless static, like an untuned television. there is nothing to feel with "real" senses.

Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.
March 15th, Belgrade Serbia
Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.Is this really it?
