Like 63% (as of 2024) of ukraine's agricultural land in use were bought out by western companies after raising the land sale moratorium under pressure from the IMF who were chosen the next credit-givers in place of Russia (who gave free money (paid tribute basically), in exchange for neutrality). Blackrock and Monsanto are two big buyers. So now the real owners of Ukraine come to the negotiation table

Ukraine is just Europes Qing dynasty. Actual real imperialism in Europe where almost the entire economy is owned by foreign powers.

what is leftypol’s opinion on the movies and film franchise so far since a new one is coming out this year? genuinely i thought they were enjoyable and nice to watch but it also made me realized if shitty people didn’t ruin the planet then earth could’ve ended up being similar to pandora

Pocahontas but replace natives with blue ayyliens and put them in outer space planet.

The small stereotype forms of social organism on Pandora have been to the greater part dissolved, and are disappearing, not so much through the brutal interference of the Terran tax-gatherer and the Terran soldier, as to the working of Earth technology and Earth free trade. Those Na'vi family-communities were based on domestic industry, in that peculiar combination of hand-weaving, hands-spinning and hand-tilling agriculture which gave them self-supporting power. English interference having placed the spinner in Hell's Gate and the weaver in Bridgehead, or sweeping away both Na'vi spinner and weaver, dissolved these small semi-barbarian, semi-civilized communities, by blowing up their economical basis, and thus produced the greatest, and to speak the truth, the only social revolution ever heard of in Pandora.

Now, sickening as it must be to human feeling to witness those myriads of industrious patriarchal and inoffensive social organizations disorganized and dissolved into their units, thrown into a sea of woes, and their individual members losing at the same time their ancient form of civilization, and their hereditary means of subsistence, we must not forget that these idyllic village-communities, inoffensive though they may appear, had always been the solid foundation of Alien despotism, that they restrained the na'vi mind within the smallest possible compass, making it the unresisting tool of superstition, enslaving it beneath traditional rules, depriving it of all grandeur and historical energies. We must not forget the barbarian egotism which, concentrating on some miserable patch of land, had quietly witnessed the ruin of empires, the perpetration of unspeakable cruelties, the massacre of the population of large towns, with no other consideration bestowed upon them than on natural events, itself the helpless prey of any aggressor who deigned to notice it at all. We must not forget that this undignified, stagnatory, and vegetative life, that this passive sort of existence evoked on the other part, in contradistinction, wild, aimless, unbounded forces of destruction and rendered murder itself a religious rite in Pandora. We must not forget that these little communities were contaminated by distinctions of caste and by slavery, that they subjugated na'vi to external circumstances instead of elevating na'vi the sovereign of circumstances, that they transformed a self-developing social state into never changing natural destiny, and thus brought Post too long.

How do I get over my hatred of masculine men? All throughout my school years I was relentlessly bullied by jocks and such because I wasnt into typical masculine things and because i was too emotional. Ive felt extreme resentment towards masculinity ever since.

The only men im able to be attracted too are other feminine boys like myself, aswell as older men. Meanwhile it seems like the vast majority of gays feel attraction almost exclusively to hyper-masculine men, and talk about their attraction like being attracted to masculinity is an inherent part of being gay. It has made me feel so isolated and made me feel invalidated in my sexuality.

Part of me feels like masculinity is inherently evil, I feel like it encourages meanness, arrogance, and cruelty by its design. Plus, seeing masculine guys constantly get praised while every other type of male never gets anywhere near as much love, it just makes me even angrier. My resentment is so deep-seated at this point that im not fully sure if I can even change it.

I wouldnt consider you a bully then, I see that more as just roleplaying rather than actual bullying. Atleast to me, real bullying has the intention to cause misery to the victim.

>I dont really understand why some guys like guys who are the complete opposite of them lol
Well from a sexual perspective I like the feeling of completely physically dominating my partner, just being way bigger and stronger than them. From an emotional/personality perspective I guess I like feminine guys because it's easier for me to feel useful by doing things they can't or don't want to do (carrying heavy stuff, getting rid of spiders, etc).
>I see that more as just roleplaying rather than actual bullying
Yeah it definitely is. My actual personality with a cute guy I like is more like a giant teddy bear they can cuddle and extract fresh cum from.

Edgy comments presented as jokes thus making the mods unable to confidently value the post aside, those archetypes (atleast from when I graduated high school back in 2018) are dead since everyone just goes on their phone.

Past that, think of the material reality, and seperate the traits from each other and evaluate on each one individually to get a fuller picture.

The jock is cringe, but is working out is? Y'know, the thing so good for your health it even reduces cancer?
The dudebro is cringe (I guess?), but is a party culture of having a good time is? Or the jokey aspect of wanting to marry or eben fuck your best friends?

edginess means being on the "edge" (e.g. being marginal in fashion), which is why when fashion spreads, it loses its fashionability. being a chud had its appeal in the day, but vice signalling is now a normie thing where you invite nick fuentes onto mainstream platforms.

the reason the world is so fucking comically evil and antithetical to the human spirit (cis or transhumanist, but especially transhumanist) is because it isn't run by humans. hyperdimensional parasitic demons basically control everyone who attains a certain level of wealth/power. basically a law of the world that when you reach a certain "status" in the man-made hierarchies of this world your thought processes become different. you slip further and further into evil and depravity, and it's because you are now being controlled by demons. but the line is blurry, and they are basically just a manifestation of demonic energies, and always were, because these things exist outside time. it's why all elites are p3dos and comically evil, because they aren't human anymore, or if they are, their humanity is buried and they are no longer in control.

these demons are nothing if not sadistic. they purposefully attack the most good, innocent, kind-hearted people on earth. and they delight in doing it. why do you think so many otherwise normal cis people have an unexplainable, burning hatred for transhumanists? it's a result of demonic influence.

transhumanists, eunuchs, hermaphrodites, all throughout history we were a symbol of divinity, and rightfully revered. this is likely because the creator, being the ultimate monistic source and model of everything, is necessarily a hermaphrodite. as above, so below. androgyny is essentially the closest you can get to embodying God, and demons fucking hate that more than anything. they will do everything in their power to turn people against us because they know how powerful our souls are.

this world is currently in a dire state. demons basically control all the levers of power and have strong influence over most minds. the more you look to worldly solutions, the more you will be disappointed. look inwards, know thy self, and realize that you alone have the power to choose good over evil and remain strong, in the face of a demonic world that wants to crush your spirit. be a good and virtuous person in a world full of sick, depraved people. become the embodiment of righteous fury. demons hate that more than anything, they want you broken, defeated, nihilistic, cynical, and hopeless, because your soul is an eternal, immortal source of power, but they can't actually destroy it. all they can do is try to lead you away from it and make you think that you're powerless.

There is no single cause of gender identity or gender dysphoria.
But we do have a consistent body of evidence showing that biological factors contribute to gender identity development in a subset of people. Below is a short summary of peer-reviewed findings with direct quotes where possible.
1. Twin studies
Monozygotic twins show much higher concordance rates for gender dysphoria compared to dizygotic twins, which strongly suggests a genetic component.
“The data suggest a strong heritable component to gender identity.”
(Diamond & Hawk, 2013)
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15532739.2013.750222
Twin studies don’t mean “biology determines everything.”
They simply show that biology matters.
2. Genetic polymorphisms (AR, CYP17, etc.)
These studies do not claim “a trans gene,” but they do show statistically significant associations between certain polymorphisms and MtF/FtM populations.
Androgen receptor repeat length associated with MtF transsexualism:
“MtF transsexuals had significantly longer AR repeat lengths compared to controls.”
(Hare et al., 2009)

If i wanted a "summary" i could have asked it myself. Whenever you can't directly incorporate a study in your argument, ask yourself whether it's in any way conducive to it, or you just want to beat people over the head with "evidence". If you read any of the papers yourself, you should know how to structure an evidence-based discussion.

>strongly demonstrate that gender identity is real, enduring, and affected by biological factors in ways incompatible with the idea that it is “delusion” or “social contagion.”

This is my main issue with your argumentation: Not that you try to find biological factors for predisposition, but that you tie the realness of a psychological trait to what is essentially brain divination. Can you not see that for cissiety the natural conclusios of this idea would be gatekeeping transition based on brain scans?

Think about the way schizophrenia manifests:
>In a California sample, people were more likely to describe their voices as intrusive unreal thoughts; in the South Indian sample, they were more likely to describe them as providing useful guidance; and in our West African sample, they were more likely to describe them as morally good and causally powerful.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26349837/
This is exactly the way you propose gender dysphoria works, it "emerges from the interaction of biology and lived experience".

The key difference is schizophrenia has a manifold of clinical symptoms dependent on material differences in the brain, while gender dysphoria is defined by gender, by its nature even broader in definition than something like actual body dysmorphia (not only because the latter requires seeing a distorted image of yourself). Causes from the wikipedia page:
>As with most mental disorders, BDD's cause is likely intricate, altogether biopsychosocial, through an interaction of multiple factors, including genetic, developmental, psychological, social, and cultural. BDD usually develops during early adolescence, although many patients note earlier trauma, abuse, neglect, teasing, or bullying. In many cases, social anxiety earlier in life precedePost too long.

Tava vendo umas ações dos black blocs de antigamente, como zoomer, é bizarro saber que o Brasil já esteve nesse estado de manifestações e tudo rapidamente se desfez. É como se tivessem dado um reset completo

>>14409

Eu fico mais é chocado com a degradação da capacidade de organizar/mobilizar entre meados dos anos 60 e hoje, por exemplo. Anteriormente militantes de esquerda existiam em todas as esferas da sociedade, e não só curso de humanas em faculdade. Dá pra ver isso, por exemplo, no filme Oppenheimer, e a preocupação (justificada) do governo americano sobre a presença de comunistas no programa Manhattan. Era presença em números em fábricas, sindicatos, clubes, universidades, jornais, indústria da cultura, etc. No Brasil, isso se estendia até nas forças armadas (Carlos Lamarca, por exemplo.)

Mas acho que no fim das contas nada disso importa porque essa galera não tinha presença nas redes, e não mogou reacinha genérico número 6 em podcast de fracassado.

>>14410

Alguns fatores disso é que nos anos 20 e 30, tinham turmas de militantes indo pra URSS estudar teoria e prática de gente com experiência em primeira mão de derrubar um governo, fazer uma revolução socialista e ganhar uma guerra civil. Infelizmente uma grande parte dessa galera foi morta/capturada/exilada nos anos 60 pra frente, então é como se uma geração inteira de militantes profissionais não fosse formada, e os alunos dessa geração que não veio (nós) tamo aqui boiando.

I consider myself a MLoid and agree with anti-revisionists on a lot of things but what you are describing is real, they straight up end up doing great man theory when they say Khrushchev and Deng killed the international communist movement of the 20th century, when it was american imperialism that did that.

It'd be contradictory to have one party leading the working class and to then have multiparty elections, that would defeat the party's purpose. Also political parties are bourgeois.
>>Wants to be worldwide so that the bourgeoisie can't establish itself somewhere else
Yeah but how does that actually happen?
>The ML actions don't seem to have been this excellent too
Which proves that they're both impotent.

I can't speak to historical divisions as I've never found Trotsky that worthwhile as a theorist. I still don't understand what permanent revolution would mean in a practical sense had Trotsky taken power in the 20s, and Stalin ended up siding with the left of the party by the end of the 20s anyway.

As an organiser in Britain, I have frequent contact with Trots. They vary depending on the party.

Honestly, these guys are fine. They're a key part of TUSC which is a worthwhile project. They tend to have good links with local councils and, in my limited experience, will engage with MLs in good faith. They're not very radical so this probably helps avoid pointless sectarian bickering, or maybe I've only spoken with the good ones.

> SWP

They're sort of okay, I guess. Some of the work they do, like the People's Assembly and Stop the War, is important and MLs work alongside them. Individually they're often fairly based older ladies who genuinely give a fuck and will work with you in good faith. As an org they're hopelessly committed to entryism and we've all heard the horror stories of how they lie and cheat and subvert collective movements to their organisational goals. The classic symbol of this is how they show up to broad left events with protest signs with their name plastered on it - just so lame and bad faith lol. They get a lot of work done but for little use - quite impressive how busy they are without their work going anywhere meaningful.

>RCP (formally Socialist Appeal)

Yeah, these guys suck really, really bad. Their political project is based on having the most radical and correct opinions, and then educating everyone to agree with these opinions. This is why they only sell newspapers and run internal educationals, because they think revolution entails convincing the working class to agree with their very limited and idealist interpretation of Marxism. They don't need to base their movement on the working class and their experiences because they already have the Correct Opinions TM. Any meaningful organisation within the working class is a waste of time and there's always an excuse to not do it - bureaucratic unions and such like.

Individually, they're almost always objectionable in their interactions with MLs. Just looking to pick a fight and bicker away. Actually, this is how they behaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

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.

Part of a global wave of revolutionary struggle? CIA sponsored destabilization efforts against US rivals/enemies? Full on color revolution? You decide!

US regime change front funded Nepalese youth revolutionaries, leaks reveal

https://thegrayzone.com/2025/12/10/cia-front-funded-nepal-revolutionaries/

>Leaked files reviewed by The Grayzone show the US gov’t covertly funded Nepalese youth groups in the run-up to a violent coup. The “Gen Z” shadow army mobilized as the US sought to neutralize Chinese and Indian influence over Kathmandu – now controlled by a leader chosen by an informal social media poll.


>The US government’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars tutoring dozens of Nepalese youth on “strategies and skills in organizing protests and demonstrations” prior to a violent coup which overthrew the government of Nepal in September 2025, leaked documents show.


>The documents reveal a clandestine campaign organized by an NED division known as the International Republican Institute (IRI) that sought to cultivate a Nepalese “network” of young political activists explicitly designed to “become an important force to support US interests.” The leaked documents note that the IRI’s program “connects vibrant youth… and political leaders” and “provides comprehensive trainings on how to launch advocacy campaigns and protests.”


>The demonstrations organized under the NED’s umbrella would relate to “issues selected” by the Institute and its local collaborators, thereby “ensuring the U.S. concerns with Nepal’s democracy [would] be resolved,” an IRI report stated. As The Grayzone reported, a similar effort by the IRI in Bangladesh helped generate a coup in August 2024.

I'm probably going to get jumped but uh regardless, I'm feeling very frustrated because a lot of the more far left people i listen to keep saying to stop supporting stuff like DSA and junk and move to something more radical. but then they don't offer anything more radical, so we're just stuck in this feedback loop and i feel frustrated because i genuinely want to help. They keep saying that my arguments for not working on non-viable stuff is flawed but then they don't offer any alternatives and it's driving me up the wall. My main hope is that if a Dem Teaparty goes off, we can work on building actual space for third parties post trump. But I'm struggling on ways to do that, if any of you have any basic starter groups for a noobie demsoc like me please let me know. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't desperate

I looked it up and had some details wrong.

>HIV is said to have arisen when an oral polio vaccine was administered in the Belgian Congo in the 1950s, which was grown on kidney tissue from chimpanzees and bonobos. After millions of people in Congo and Rwanda-Burundi and received the vaccine the fatal growth of HIV began. HIV has subsequently killed 30 million by AIDS and by 2010 had infected an estimated 34 million people.


We don't know the real numbers of course.

On top of that some companies purposefully infected patients with HIV. Bayer, etc. They tested out experimental drugs on Ugandan and Indian patients, which eventually led to the development of prep.

The debate over whether AI is “ethical” is mired in petit-bourgeois moralism. Technology itself doesn’t create suffering — capitalism does. The real question isn’t whether AI should exist, but how it can be used for human benefit instead of private profit.

The outrage toward AI is highly selective. People claim it “steals,” as if corporations haven’t been extracting labour, culture, and data for decades. They claim AI is destroying the environment — meanwhile, online video streaming accounts for the majority of global internet traffic and emits far more CO₂ than AI use does today. According to The Shift Project, an hour of streaming produces roughly 55 g of CO₂, and a typical Netflix user emits around 17 kg of CO₂ every month. Pornography alone occupies a huge portion of global bandwidth. Yet no one demands the abolition of streaming; our habits and pleasures are completely normalised.

Before attacking AI, remember that streaming culture is part of the spectacle of late capitalism: endless passive entertainment that keeps people distracted while the system churns on. People fixate on AI because it is new and unfamiliar — not because it is the true driver of ecological or social harm.

What is never discussed is the role AI could play outside capitalism. Under a rationally organised, democratically planned socialist economy, AI could become an instrument of genuine human emancipation. AI could eliminate monotonous labour, optimise resource allocation, reduce systemic waste, plan production in real time, expand access to education and culture, and coordinate complex systems on a scale no bureaucracy could ever achieve. Instead of reinforcing exploitation, AI could free people from it — shortening the working day, expanding leisure, and allowing individuals to participate meaningfully in cultural and intellectual life.

In other words: AI is not inherently exploitative. It simply reflects the system into which it is born. Under capitalism, it becomes another tool for profit extraction. Under socialism, it becomes a tool for human development. The question is not whether AI should be used, but who controls it — capital or society.

Are you this much of a monkey? An upgrade to visual processing isn't the same thing as consciousness emerging, you rube.

>>2593146
Nor is it even tangentially related…

>>2593146
It has flow-on effects. Broaden your mind. If there is visual processing that improves, then that means it can be applied to a bunch of jobs and automate things that were once low-paid, dangerous jobs that no one wanted. An example might be a packer in a factory. It's not "sentient" but it would be a robot that can effectively self-manage tasks in a warehouse.

Really? Because I always hear about Hokkaido as being a settler colony but the Japanese encouraged the exact opposite: inter-ethnic marriage was explicitly encouraged in order to ensure that the Ainu would be less and less distinct and the land more secure as Japanese territory.

>>734025
There is no definitive year it ended. There was a transition somewhere around the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

>>734028
You are confused that different people have different opinions? No idea who‘s saying that, I‘m not knowledgeable about Hokkaido. All I can say is that in colonialism intermixing was sometimes used as an intended means of genocide, though this rests on misconceptions about race.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the mainstream symbols of transgender identity?
The flag has colors that look too childish and it doesn’t make sense. If you go by the official meaning of the colors, then the flag should actually be a tricolor with white in the middle. I’m sorry, but I couldn't find an apolitical variant With the current flag, it feels like if you want to become enby while being AMAB, you’d first have to become MtF and then enby.
The symbol ⚧️ has no historical context. It’s not even a planetary symbol like Mars ♂ and Venus ♀. I’ve heard that the Mercury symbol ☿ used to represent hermaphrodites/androgynes. I don’t like it either, but it’s clearly closer to us and actually has historical context.

As a cis person, I think the trans flag is easily the best looking pride flag by far. Most other pride flags just look like a bunch of similar colors put together without any cohesion. The trans flag feels cohesive, is simple, and its color pastel color palette makes it look much more visually appealng.

I never once felt the flag was childish, and i doubt most others find it childish either. Honestly, im jealous that trans people have such a nice-looking flag, since the gay male pride flag looks horrible in comparison.

I don't know about what a transgender flag could look like, but just as a tangent I really like the suffragette colours / flag.

I kind of like the color combination. I just hate that transgenderism and non binary etc has become a cringey liberal alt subculture.
