🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Poonald Dump Edition


Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: ''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''™ 🌭 🍔

was talking about the fans. the anime itself isn't really as chuddy as some people make it out to be. there's militarism and patriotism and even genocide and stuff, but I don't think it isn't thoroughly critiqued. I think the entire 4th season is a thorough critique of it, just not from a Communist perspective. Also there's a lot of supernatural stuff going on with Ymir, and the Coordinate, and the Paths, and the 2000 year history, so it's going in a spiritual direction more than in a political direction. After Eren is dead and buried there's that time lapse where Mikasa moves on, gets married, grows old, gets buried next to him, then the tree turns into the same kind of tree that the founder Ymir ran into when she was trying to escape Fritz's soldiers. Then it shows a kid wandering into it. So the cycle is implied to continue. I think Isayama has a spiritual outlook where he sees everything as cyclical.

They do this even if they are forgettable one-dimensional cutouts though. Have you considered that these people just want to be evil because it looks fun?

>>718228
Yeah it's kind of Nietzschian/Hegelian as a show. It has a sort of dialectical logic to it, but it is thoroughly idealist rather than materialist. But the story it's trying to tell is a spiritual story and not a physical one. I popped over to the anime boards both on leftypol and hexbear to see what those people have been saying about it over the years, since, all things considered, it's still "smarter" than 4chan, and a brief search of their posts over the years also revealed a lot of them thought it was fascist too. Just skimming through the posts, I saw a lot of fundamental misunderstanding of the plot, or people dropping out earlier because they didn't like the aesthetics or the characters, or people thinking a depiction of something is an endorsement of it, or even people getting confused and thinking the Eldians were literally supposed to be Zionist Jews (as opposed to simply understanding that the author lifted some aesthetics from mixed historical sources, using them as metaphors in a story). I think the most damning reason for thinking it's fascist is because the author is kind of a Japanese Nationalist chud, but I think the fiction kind of transcends the person who wrote it sometimes, especially when it becomes collaborative in a TV show. The show (I haven't read the manga) does not seem to endorse Eren Jaeger or the Jaegerists. It does not seem to endorse anyone. It seems to put forward that, yes, there are "innocent" people and there are people who do "bad things" for what they imagine to be good reasons, but there aren't really "good people," just people trying to survive, or protect their loved ones, drunk on ideology or instinct. It's not that "deep" but I think a lot of people didn't even bother to engage with what it was saying and tapped out because they got vibes they didn't like from it.

Remindar that Camatte, after leaving communism, was always a terrible person. He invented a fictional version of Bordiga by trying to reinterpret him, then joined some neo-esoteric fascist group in Italy and Agambenians in France. Those neo-esoteric fascists even host all his archived writings.

What were you like before you became a lefty/socialist?

Ah, I remember before I adhered to socialism, I was, and may yaldabeoh forgive me for uttering this, a libertarian.

I know many adopted socialism extremely early, that was not the case for me as I was almost always a libertarian, but I never really aligned myself with rightoids, neither did I align with other lefties, I was a sort of centrist, or in better words, a pussy fence sitter thinking I had attained true enlightenment by thinking that "both sides is… LE BAD". The process of me turning into a lefty was an extremely slow one, but it was always because rightoids seemed like retards, and I noticed most problems can easily be traced back to them. All things changed of course when I saw the complete right wing degeneracy under trump, the failings of the economy and eventually getting to read theory…

So were you always sort of Socialist? Or did you gradually shift to it? What were you like before being a left?

i used to be a nazi pedophile but then i discovered socialism and now i'm just like you guys

Ive always been economically left wing and have always thought capitalism is retarded
But i also used to be socially conservative

A child. incapable of thought.

How do you think American liberal politics will play out once Trump is no longer in power?

For the past 10 years, the entire crux of the Democratic Party has been "STOP TRUMP". The average American Democrat or liberal now bases their political views solely on how much they hate Trump, MAGAts, "manosphere" podcasters, so-called "alt-right pipelines", and everything in between. They have no real principles and it shows.

The right-wing, on the other hand, believes it is creating a new world; it's a much worse world, but that's how they want it. This has caused liberals to prop up the old, dying system as a way of preventing it from collapsing into something worse. Now, we're seeing liberals who claim to be "left-wing" embrace everything from free trade agreements (on the basis Trump's tariffs need to be stopped) to hyper-consumerism (on the basis that spending money on fashion and makeup and mindless consumer goods helps maintain your "individuality" against Trump-era conformity) to literal junk food (in order to own RFK and MAHA). It doesn't take much to realize all of these were once things American liberals strongly opposed 20-25 years ago; I'm old enough to remember when "clean girl" no-makeup aesthetics, eating organic, and herbal medicines were leftist things.

American liberals are now pushing a culture of hyper-rationality and order to counter the mass chaos that has erupted in America under Trump. They hate ICE agents terrorizing communities but they hate the sporadic community defence and protests that pop up to beat back ICE even more. They hate the Luigi Mangiones and the Tyler Robinsons and the prospects of an American Years of Lead. They want everything to be "rational" and based on slow progression and linear shit. But this way is outdated. Trying to find the "middle path" doesn't work when capitalism is in a state of collapse. For the liberal, everything that doesn't fit their paradigm is "mysticism" which always equates to "fascism" and needs to be stamped out before it manifests into authoritarianism. But how can this hyper-rationalism win?

The same is true of foreign policy. Liberals insist on American soft power, which arguably won't work in a world post-Gaza where American support for the most documented genocide in recent history was on full display. Trump, on the other hand, is an old school imperialist who simply seizes whatever he demands without caring.

So where does that leave the DemocraPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

As covid restrictions were winding down I figured that the two-party consensus would give way to a MAGA party, a socdem party, and an increasingly irrelevant coalition of neocons and conservative Dems, and I think I am being proven right esp post 10/7/23

>>2527440
Yeah that's actually why the US system has been so stable over time. Easy to incorporate different groups and interests into a democratic system so they at least feel like they can be represented in it. For example a lot of the civil rights legislation modern conservatives seek to overturn was essentially designed to stop the black uprisings of the 50s and 60s by allowing at least a segment of the population into professional organizations and the halls of power. On the other hand a large part of the societal instability that resulted in Mexico 1910s or the Middle Eastern crises of the 70s-90s came from middle class strivers being excluded from the kinds of patronal networks one associates with dictatorships embodied by one party or one person.

>How do you think American liberal politics will play out once Trump is no longer in power?
Well after Trump is out of office, then comes the "we defeated Trump" term. That's leftwards movement enough for everybody! No kings!
Probably some split chambers as well so there is no temptation to get anything done.

Then idk, who cares what concessions USAnos get along the way? They ain't gonna challenge the cold war consensus nor are they ever going to experience war on their land and be forced to reflect on "foreign policy". At best they will get some more "blowback" and we'll have to be oh-so-sad for a few months that consistently supporting the fourth reich had some of them blow up or w/e.

Liberals are always condescending, like they feel a constant urge to put the "bad people" (in this case, MAGAts) in their place. Makes sense that so many Democrat Party voters happen to be PMC.

that's not apolitical, because if everyone acted that way, it would be a self-cannibalizing society of two-faced narcissists. nobody would drive the school buses or tend to the sick. nobody would pave the roads or change the diapers. nobody would embrace responsibility. everyone would just be trying to get one over on each other in a race to the bottom be the biggest dickhead.

Anti-imperialism has been shoehorned into leftist discourse just like useless idpol (not talking about the existence of gays) was in the 2010s. The great difficulty of developing class conciousness in service-economy liberal states is made even more complicated by rethoric pushed by feds that the workers in these states can't be socialist. This is used inside this states to prevent organization and outside these states to promote petite-nationalism.

So what you’re saying is service workers are a reactionary sector

>>2527806
Ehh, in reality I’d say it’s more like we’re unable to flex power. If guys at a steel mill go on strike, then steel just isn’t made. If service workers go on strike, then in theory goods can’t be distributed but in reality there’s such a large pool of surplus labor and the nature of the services are fairly decentralized that capitalists can work around it. Not helping things is how they practice scorched earth: you got a store that goes on strike like WalMart or Target? They’ll shut it down and tell the workers they can either quit or work in the WalMart the next town over.

Service workers do play a role in shortening the circuit of, I think it’s M - C - M? Tired so I can’t quite remember, but there’s a world of difference between commodities taking longer to become profitable and commodities just not being made.

>>2527806
>So what you’re saying is service workers are a reactionary sector
maybe. you would have to conduct an analysis to be sure. i would say it depends. you will probably get different results depending on the country and how that role is reproduced. retail cashiers, tech support, and banking are all "services". "services workers" and "service-economy liberal states" are very different things

i am implying that labor aristocrats are reactionary though, while not making a claim about whether "services workers" or "service-economy liberal states" qualify. for that you would again have to look at the data. a reactionary state doesn't even mean that the workers in it are reactionary, you would have to prove that they materially benefit and that their consciousness is generally aligned that way

a hedge fund manager in an imperialist country that votes for war is obviously different than a clerk at a gas station in a dependent county who is a member of a communist party

The lack of class consciousness has got nothing to do with whether the economy is a service economy or a manufacturing economy, it's just the result of propaganda and class warfare. Americans used to be much more class conscious and used to form labor unions and things like that but starting in the 1920s the government colluded with the private sector to smash the labor movement and eradicate class consciousness and socialist ideas from American thought forever.

File: 1760852850729.jpg (200.58 KB, 1000x1481, lookism.jpg)

 

In the past, adhering to lookism helped me get ahead in life. I got a fancy job, dressed a fancy way, and people thought I was a normal member of the PMC. And it made me revile the human race even more than ever before. Because I saw humanity for what it was: a herd of cattle that devours the slop it is fed, only to vomit it out and recannibalise these humours. After a while, my bitterness for the human race turned to revolutionary ire, only for it die away into the aches of listlessness. I decided we were unfit for existence. We are a herd of dumb cattle that only know the barbed fences of society, we only think through the slave mentality branded onto us.

I saw how shallow and frivolous humans were. With all this talk about enlightenment and civilisation, we only thought with our fucking cocks. The "fairer sex" merely had to rub their cunts, like unthinking sows, to designate me a human or not. And we never care for people as they are, no; instead, we choose to section people off into these branded categories like grocery store items. So much for the heights of art! Who gives a fuck about the apotheosis of human endeavours, or the sciences, when people merely regurgitate the slop thrown at them? The undifferentiated gruel shat out by fashion brands and Hollywood movies and music corporations! Mmm! Tasty! I found people only cared about you if you could afford the same suit as an advertisement or get the same haircut as everyone else.

But the more I fixate on looks, the less I really care about them. They really are just appearances. When I was focused on being normal, I got a job, lost a lot of weight, lifted daily, and wore normie clothes. But I still felt horribly depressed and ugly to the core. What kind of society would breed this false adherence to the social norms of herd animals, of unthinking ungulates? The only time I felt comfortable was when I used presented as an effortless, slobby twink in band t-shirts. Welcome to the spectacle, where we make fashion statements about uniformity and the true individual is an 'ugliness' that must be stamped out by the same threads, the same brand of shoes, the same moisturiser.

You're talking to someone right now while pretending you're unable to. Embrace your own ability to change and grow and stop using your shortcomings as a deterministic excuse to not even try.

Honestly I think the world needs more loneliness, not less of it. People should be comfortable with silence and solitude, not afraid of it. People are too plugged in, they're thinking too much about what other people think and what other people say and they're too susceptible to outside influence and they're afraid to just sit somewhere in total silence with nothing but their own thoughts.

It seems like a lot of guys I see bemoaning their loneliness are guys who haven't had much experience with relationships and have a naive understanding about relationships, thinking that they are a solution to loneliness or depression or low self-esteem, because they're really not. After a few years of experience with serious long-term romantic relationships it becomes clear that relationships don't really solve your problems, if anything they just give you a whole other slew of problems to navigate.

>>2527500
there is wisdom to what you say. you rightly call for self reliance and comfort in solitude in society that rewards constant attention-seeking. it's also true that relationships aren't a solution and can creat their own problems. I think people should be less transactional in relationships. relationships can be good though. humans are social animals. relationships will never have a perfect balance of trade and it's wrong to treat them that way. we pay things forward. if you're lucky enough to have good guardians, biological parents or otherwise, who didn't abuse you, who were able to keep you safe, feed you, clothe you, and eventually teach you to be self reliant and go out on your own, you can't really pay them back perfectly in a tit for tat transactional way. you have to pay it forward.

relationships, when healthy, can serve as a profound support system, offering connection, empathy, and shared experiences that nurture growth. there's also nuance in the idea that seeking love and connection isn’t always about avoiding personal work. sometimes it’s about mutual development and comradery in a shared journey of growth and increasing self reliance. people should be "inter-dependent" and mutually reinforce each other while still maintaining self reliance and not becoming "co-dependent" i.e. locked in toxic relationships they can't get out of.

I've realized how many people are like this, they'd just be unhappy no matter how things are set up. Liberals are not really incorrect when they point out how miserable a lot of traditional relationships were/are, and i can see it with my own family, but obviously this laissez-faire environment of sexlessness for all but a few men who won the genetic lottery and constant bombardment of gender war propaganda has not worked out at all because no matter how many times you can repeat the word 'entitled' humans need companionship. It seems like everyone except for a happy few who fell in love early or on a chance encounter are doomed to be miserable forever. Yes alienation etc and im sure the phones have ruined this like they ruined everything else but I am not so sure this would not be the case in all societies. Is there any solution?

Isn't "office work" most prone to bullshit jobs in the first place. Ripe not for automation by AI, but for erasure.

>>31217
Well offices are a property value thing, make buildings where hundreds of people do shit that could've easily been done from home by one gal with linux on her laptop that knows bash script, and you have a commercial building, with all the zoning laws and tax implications that entails. And that's profitable enough that you can pay someone to be the "senior stapler inspector" or "blockchain synergy consultant."

>>27264
but it doesn't automate the office jobs though. because it gets shit wrong a lot. so in reality, at best it's used as a tool by a human being who has to double check all of it's work to make sure it's correct. and office work isn't like work on an assembly line where in theory there is an unlimited amount value you could produce were you not limited by your own body. in any given day there is a finite number of human to human communications tasks that have to be done by an office worker (and are the core of most of their jobs) which put a hard cap on the value they produce in a day and then they just play minesweeper or whatever and do their best to look busy

I've started making regular trips into the woods near my house, down a natural stream because it's the lowest part and creates a natural trail through what is essentially untouched forest and it's extremely nice to be out there and just center myself. There's deep water at some points so I've taken to just hiking in completely barefoot for about 2km.

It's become my new favorite hobby, you're not bored, you're not anxious, you're not worried about what people think, you're not in society, you don't have technology, any negative emotion evaporates about 1-2 hours in. The worst part of the entire thing is the walk back to my house. If it wasn't switching to winter I think I would just bring a tent out there and start living out there.

They were removed over a year ago. They need to be formally expelled to be replaced.

>>2527687
The simplest answer is that it's counterintelligence signalling. If it were run of the mill corruption, or a failed coup attempt, the plotters wouldn't have been sentenced all at once. They'd have been detained, individually replaced, then they'd all be in jail.

7 of them being knocked out at the same time implies counterespionage, it's intended as a signal.

BOLIVIA AFTERMATH THREAD
The ballots spoke, the centerright with Paz won.
The slogan
<Capitalism for all!
Evo is in his Kamehouse in the mountains saying
>Plepleplease don't change the constitution
Arce…he is just a painting in the Palace

interview to Evo
Nothing much, just the pleplease and that both candidates are in the empire pocket, but the bolivian people are free to choose.

Why didn’t Arce just let Evo back in? Arce is not a charismatic politician and he knew it, why not give i back to the guy who can actually rally people?

>>2527823
Too much interparty conflicts, Evo accused Arce of a rightwingzation and Arce accused Evo of corruption and gave freeway to an attempt of a Deevization, obvious example, the case of Evo having a lover who was a m1n0r was brought back in

Being TERF is a fetish. How else one can explain that toilet obsession? There is literally no other consistent theory explaining their behavior. Every other attempt on explaining why they are so fixated on sex and genitals of trans people does not produce consistent explanation.
2 posts omitted.

>explaining why they are so fixated on sex and genitals
They are British, that's what I expect from the neurotic weirdo country. TERF biopolitics ideology was probably invented alongside eugenics in the Victorian era when they modernized treating humans like cattle

>>3970
How is fantasying about trans people masturbating in a toilet cabin near the one you are taking a dump in nationalistic in any way?

All you see from terfs is:
- rape in toilet fantasy posting
- trans jerking off in cabins by theirs fantasies
- unhinged posts about genitals
- /pol/ grade cartoons about having facial hair and all three above

>>3983
Sexuality isn’t about pleasure. Its about power. What seems like a weird fetish is in fact a form of mocking and demeaning others and establishing your own moral superiority. This is as true for queers as it is for TERFs. In the TERF case, it’s away of emphasizing they are ‘real’ women and more desirable (I have the correct genitals, I am so attractive unlike an mtf that men want to dress as women to rape me) and also performative victimhood (I am a target of male oppression and sexual violence). According to this logic, trans women are both inferior and feeble but also existentially threatening. How should this threat be warded off? By enacting laws that punish trans women, ejecting them from women’s spaces, subjecting them to surveillance. So what looks like a stupid fetish is a bunch of anxieties and fears. These narratives allow TERFs to paint themselves as morally virtuous agents resisting vicious practices (rape, and they see transgenderism as simply an extension of the male desire to violate women’s bodies). Within their own group, this type of posting is like a moral parable, they serve to teach others to respond to a new moral regime of right and wrong.

This

I think it's actually more so a general lack of empathy and education in general, albeit especially regarding trans people.
Most of the evidence suggests that the modern rightoid population is so, and will breed like rabbits anyway. I will expand more on this later.

As it pertains to Trans people specifically:

Interestingly, TERFs are much more likely to enable rape via fundamentalism and Rape Myth Acceptance, which is beautiful ironic that they then blame us for it (Keep in mind that this was in 2008, before the turning point)

I dont think displacement really describes what is going on here, its more like simple substitution. You want to be cute. Boys can be cute, girls can be cute, women can be cute, not men though. So as you age out of boy/girl, becoming woman is an obvious choice.

Question for “Christian anarchists”:

Why do you deny Jesus came to earth to establish a government? Why do you act as if religion wasn’t fully intertwined with the state and all religious institutions were de facto government institutions, and that the Church in which Jesus established was meant to be a government?

If not, what did Jesus leave behind? A Bible that wasn’t fully compiled and finalized until centuries after His death by… the Catholic/Orthodox Church?

And yes, the Church is both a spiritual AND earthly authority, so please don’t come at me with the “Jesus was only against earthly hierarchies not spiritual ones” cope.

No, you don't. You can define it however you see fit, that's the whole secret to religion is everyone really just makes it up themselves. Ask a thousand people what being a Christian/Jew/Muslim/Hindu/etc. means to them personally and you will get a thousand different answers.

More than 2,500 “No Kings” protests are being held on October 18 throughout the US, in every major city and many smaller towns, as well as in other countries. The Socialist Equality Party supports these demonstrations and calls for the broadest possible participation. The last “No Kings” demonstrations, on June 14, attracted upwards of 10 million people in what is believed to have been the largest single-day political protest in American history.

These demonstrations are taking place under conditions of a mounting conspiracy by the Trump administration to establish a presidential dictatorship. In the days leading up to October 18, administration officials and leading Republicans denounced the protests as a “hate America rally,” branded demonstrators as “terrorists” and threatened to launch investigations against those organizing them. The White House is also preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would give Trump sweeping powers to deploy the military throughout the United States under his direct command.

National Guard troops have already been deployed to major American cities, including Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland and Memphis. In Chicago, the third-largest city in the country, residents face daily assaults by a combination of police, ICE and Department of Homeland Security agents, while National Guard forces have arrived in preparation for further action.

The language coming from the White House is the language of civil war. Trump has called for the military to be used against the “enemy within.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has described even the Democratic Party as a “domestic extremist organization.” Trump has opened up the White House to neo-Nazis, Christian nationalists and far-right propagandists, who are openly plotting the abolition of democratic rights.

What is unfolding is not a temporary aberration or a passing episode. There will be no “return to normal.” With the Trump administration, the American ruling class is breaking with constitutional forms of rule.

The decisive question is: What is to be done? How can Trump’s coup be defeated?

The October 18 demonstrations express deep hostility to the Trump administration’s efforts to set up a fascistic dictatorship in the United States. The central slogan, “No Kings,” articulates vast popular hostility to autocracy, (though we would add to it, in the present-day context of the neo-Nazi programPost too long.

you also forgot by the time of the American Revolution the thirteen colonies had already developed a independent ruling class. they wanted to break free because it served their material interests.

Has anyone here ever read Stirner’s works cover to cover? Do you think they suffer from mistranslation? I became an egoist anarchist when I was 18. But I do not read German very well and found that I got confused by a lot of the writing. The strangest was not being able to parse the writing because of its poetic nature. Take this as an example:
>Where could one look without meeting victims of self-renunciation? There sits a girl opposite me, who perhaps has been making bloody sacrifices to her soul for ten years already. Over the buxom form droops a deathly-tired head, and pale cheeks betray the slow bleeding away of her youth. Poor child, how often the passions may have beaten at your heart, and the rich powers of youth have demanded their right! When your head rolled in the soft pillow, how awakening nature quivered through your limbs, the blood swelled your veins, and fiery fancies poured the gleam of voluptuousness into your eyes! Then appeared the ghost of the soul and its eternal bliss. You were terrified, your hands folded themselves, your tormented eye turned its look upward, you—prayed. The storms of nature were hushed, a calm glided over the ocean of your appetites. Slowly the weary eyelids sank over the life extinguished under them, the tension crept out unperceived from the rounded limbs, the boisterous waves dried up in the heart, the folded hands themselves rested a powerless weight on the unresisting bosom, one last faint "Oh dear!" moaned itself away, and—the soul was at rest. You fell asleep, to awake in the morning to a new combat and a new—prayer. Now the habit of renunciation cools the heat of your desire, and the roses of your youth are growing pale in the—chlorosis of your heavenliness. The soul is saved, the body may perish! O Lais, O Ninon, how well you did to scorn this pale virtue! One free grisette against a thousand virgins grown gray in virtue!
The first time I read it, I thought it was about Stirner perving on a teen girl.

Idealistic garbage that ignores the object-subject distinction

The worst people are the ones who don't get a lot of the Hegelian "idealism" is a joke and take him literally.
>“Do you philosophers actually have an inkling that you have been beaten with your own weapons? Nothing but an inkling. What retort can you hearty fellows make against it, when I again dialectically demolish what you have just dialectically put up? You have shown me with what ‘eloquence’ one can make all into nothing and nothing into all, black into white and white into black. What do you have against it, when I turn your neat trick back on you? But with the dialectical trick of a philosophy of nature, neither you nor I will cancel the great facts of modern natural research, no more than Schelling and Hegel did.”
If Goethe was alive at the time, I would say he wrote it.

>>2527726
This is an interpretation I favoured for some time, but I think it is unlikely that Stirner was entirely anti-Hegelian. Stirner still defends his work after the fact, even in the text you pull that quote from, including its structure and logic.

It doesn't really make much sense to suggest that Stirner wrote the entire work, some 340 pages in my copy, just to show that philosophy is a trick that can prove anything. He believes most of what is said

>>2527726
>This monotonousness and abstract universality are maintained to be the Absolute. This formalism insists that to be dissatisfied therewith argues an incapacity to grasp the standpoint of the Absolute, and keep a firm hold on it. If it was once the case that the bare possibility of thinking of something in some other fashion was sufficient to refute a given idea, and the naked possibility, the bare general thought, possessed and passed for the entire substantive value of actual knowledge; similarly we find here all the value ascribed to the general idea in this bare form without concrete realisation; and we see here, too, the style and method of speculative contemplation identified with dissipating and, resolving what is determinate and distinct, or rather with hurling it down, without more ado and without any justification, into the abyss of vacuity. To consider any specific fact as it is in the Absolute, consists here in nothing else than saying about it that, while it is now doubtless spoken of as something specific, yet in the Absolute, in the abstract identity A = A, there is no such thing at all, for everything is there all one. To pit this single assertion, that “in the Absolute all is one”, against the organised whole of determinate and complete knowledge, or of knowledge which at least aims at and demands complete development – to give out its Absolute as the night in which, as we say, all cows are black – that is the very naïveté of emptiness of knowledge.

>The formalism which has been deprecated and despised by recent philosophy, and which has arisen once more in philosophy itself, will not disappear from science, even though its inadequacy is known and felt, till the knowledge of absolute reality has become quite clear as to what its own true nature consists in. Having in mind that the general idea of what is to be done, if it precedes the attempt to carry it out, facilitates the comprehension of this process, it is worth while to indicate here some rough idea of it, with the hope at the same time that this will give us the opportunity to set aside certain forms whose habitual presence is a hindrance in the way of speculative knowledge.

How familiar before I read Stirner I only read Hegel's "Philosophy of History" and "History of Philosophy". And I felt like I understood all the main points Stirner made. I read the Unique and His Property Translation.

Stalinoids have a tendency for projecting their great man idealism and assume Marxist critique of their cult is based on vilifying Stalin the man. However we reject their mythology of the one man (Khrushchev) singlehandedly dismantling an entire mode of production.

The Russian revolution lost because it failed to become international. Stalin had little to no role to play in that. In fact our only contention with Stalin is much less dramatic, it's simply his opportunist decision to not recognize the defeat of the revolution and instead to parade its corpse in order to maintain yet another capitalist state. His and others desecration of the revolution set the workers movement decades back.

Yes yes Jai Sri Ram, kill the muslim kill the chai knee

Marx and Engels, and Western thought in general, have a very teleological linear understanding of history as the story of a class struggle with an inevitable preordained outcome, but teleology is bullshit and history doesn't work that way. Life doesn't have a narrative arc, the world is not a story. There's no phases or transitional periods or eras, there is just life, a bunch of random cause and effect events with no purpose or definitive outcome, at least not one that we could ever comprehend.

what do you call a capitalist society led by a dictatorship of the proletariat to differentiate it from a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie? is the problem with calling it socialism or do you think workers parties should not do revolution until the state reaches advanced capitalism?

I just finished watching Evangelion with my mum and dad (well my dad sat in the room with us but refused to even look at the telly and instead scrolled football forums instead on his laptop). I basically told about every production quirk and lore detail all the time it was really fun. She liked it but didn't think it was that deep, and she said it repeated itself too much towards the end and she liked the beginning more (a very interesting opinion imo). She hated the last two TV episodes and also didn't seem to care about Kaworu that much.

She liked the elevator scene a lot, that was the standout part for her. I think the character she was the most invested in was Asuka (maybe because I am a bit like Asuka). Lastly she liked End of Evangelion but didn't love it that much, she thought it was just repeating what the show said and didn't think it was the most artistic film ever or anything. She liked the mech battle the most.

I think my mum likes fight scenes more than wierd abstract character moments and she doesn't really understand the intricate parts of animation. This is all very interesting to me tbh as someone super into anime since it shows what a normal person thinks of it.

I rewatched the show over Covid, and what struck me was just how good the directing was. Like you really don’t see this much basic goddamn film literacy in animation on either side of the pacific

this post is so autistic that it hurts

As an atheist I like to critique religion and the downfall of it kind of like a death note did it same thing as well? That’s what I liked about both shows.

Any comrades from Utah here?

How do we fix this beyond fucked up state?

The LDS church runs everything here. Nearly every single little detail of the state’s culture is dictated by Mormonism. Mormon temples are the largest buildings in every city and town. Mormon bookstores are more numerous than most other stores, and old school soda shops are more numerous than cafes (Mormons prohibit coffee and tea but allow caffeinated soda for some reason). Multiple buildings, streets, and businesses are named after Mormon things (e.g. “Cumorrah Avenue”). Multi-level marketing companies are everywhere and sponsor things like stadiums (MLM companies are littered with Mormon moms).

The LDS church is basically run like a massive corporation. They are very good at missionizing and making new converts, plus Mormons tend to get married young and have bucketloads of kids. The average Mormon family has between 4-7 children. The point is, the LDS church is highly reactionary and rules over Utah with an iron fist, yet there is almost no internal resistance to it. “Utah” basically is the LDS church. And that’s not even mentioning the entire settler-colonial history of the church either, the mass slaughter of the indigenous that Mormons participated in to create the state of Utah and such.

With that said, how do we deal with this state’s politics if we are socialists living in it? There’s no way someone like AOC or Mamdani or any DSA candidate could ever win here. If there was ever a socialist candidate, they’d either have to ensure the Utah public that they’re a “good Mormon” (which would mean throwing away their principles and participating in a reactionary, settler-colonial theology) or seek to dismantle Utah culture outright by going against the grip of the LDS church, which would be political suicide.

I’m sorry, but I wish this fucking state didn’t exist. Trying to organize anything leftist here feels like a lost cause.

MASS SHOOTING AT MORMON CHURCH.

What's stopping you from starting up a Food Not Bombs in SLC, OP?

The fact this even has to be discussed shows how little American (Protestant) Christians understand about the history of the Church and the Church fathers.

A real shame the Didache wasn't added to the end of the Bible because that would have resolved a lot of this crap. Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the original Church. Everything else is heresy with the Mormons and JWs being the worst offenders.

Mormons aren’t even close to being the worst right-wing Christians. At least Mormons understand what it means to be compassionate. Evangelicals in the Bible Belt are you real enemies, not Mormons.
