>Now shut the fuck up and start the invasion. You dumb fucking losers haven't even invaded Yemen, and Houthis still control the Red Sea, invaliding USN's entire reason for existence and wasting all the trillions spent on it.
Everyone who doesn't support a hyper-corrupt military dictatorship that at best runs at most a dogshit social democracy is a glowie apparently.
No, I oppose Maduro because like Assad, it is not a good look for the left to just support evil fucking degenerate cocksuckers looting their own population out of pure campism.
>duh, let's start shit with Venezuela
>heavy sour crude is where it is at!
Genuinely going to laugh when the PSUV collapses, Chavistas are lynched in the streets to cheering crowds and you campist retards are still "IT'S STILL GOOD IT'S STILL GOOD".
Venezuela is a clownshow country of hyper corrupt narco/scam artist "politicians" and officials looting the country in the most brazen fucking ways possible. Stop defending it because Chavez was once good.

>The nuke happened in 2008 bro, even Venezuelaanalysis agrees with this. Venezuelan diversification efforts all implode during the GFC and the country returns to oil dependency.
It didnt even happened, all stupid statements
in 2011, venezuela had a higher IDH than brazil, by 2025 the venezuelan economy lost half and most of its GDP. You cannot argue that the venezuelan crisis started in 2008 using a stupid assumptive analysis that tries to link the 2008 crisis with oil depedency

>>2582213
Everyone who says "hyper-corrupt military dictatorship that at best runs at most a dogshit social democracy" is a glowie, yes.

Consult with your station chief on how to reply to people that actually remember Guaido and conservatives boycotting the elections, because Maduro is actually popular, and they would lose, so they shid and fard to get their way.

Opinion of Nick Land(CCRU time)/Deleuze?Are they too schizo? Also opinion on Dugin/Nick land(Atlantism vs Eurasianism). I think they are greatest philosophers and they were not clear to everyone.

>Dugin
Court jester of David Brooks and David Frum variety
>Land
Depending on how (un)charitable you are, either mentally ill, a hack or a genius secret-socialist who single-handedly mindbroke the American tech-bourgeois into becoming aloof and barely class-conscious nutjobs. Most of his writings are just ideas lifted from better thinkers (eg Deleuze) and then plastered them with his schizo-babble teleology on top.
>Deleuze (and don't you forget Guattari)
Actually great thinker. Case and point, territorialization, a far more advanced framework than dialectics that refuses to engage in teleological wishcasting and thus creates a far more grounded mapping on examining change from micro to the macro level. Should be foundational for modern communists, however the dogma of Hegel's rotting carcass that drags behind like the weight of generations past stops this.

can you recommend any non-impenetrable texts that can help me understand this stuff? I always thought there was something there but mainly just seems aesthetically interesting. I'd love to understand real work political applications if there are any.

Nick Land is american Dugin. Thiel is american Putin.

They were axiomatically worse than Hitler.
Say what you will about him like the vid in >>2581674 says in Germany at the time the petit bourgeoisie and middle class were the majority of the nation.
Hitlers petit bourgeoisie Bismarck socialism no matter how much it sold out to big business and so on, still made it clear who it was for, he even named the petit bourgeoisie in speeches.
For the Falange it was the aristocracy and middle class taking full on power away from the prole and peasant majority.
>But they read Marx before Franco!
So did Hitler.
Anyone who would support the Falange might as well just support Hitler. It would be an improvement.

>>2581779
One thing when you read about how the core of the Falangists' support were "students," this is the 1930s in Spain we're talking about where that coded strongly right-wing, sons of aristocrats, etc.

Another odd thing that doesn't get brought up much is aviation. The fascists were enthralled by aviation and there were famous aviators in different countries that joined fascist parties. In the Spanish case it was Julio Ruiz de Alda Miqueleiz (later shot by anarchists).

>>2581727
There's a funny moment where the Falange gets invited to ᴉuᴉlossnW's attempted "Fascist International" but Jose Antonio reiterated that Falangism isn't Fascism. Allegedly some of the anger that came from his followers was based on him being way less willing to commit to offensive violence when they really wanted to crack skulls. I think Ledesma actually used this as a critique of him and Mosley, that they were "soft" aristocrats who were concerned with high-minded ideals whereas the more "radical" and "working class" types (closer to Lumpen imo) wanted to beat people to death.

This sort of reminds me of how you'd previously get this divide in the right where establishment politicians would vaguely gesture towards whatever brainworms their base had, but wouldn't actually believe in them. Like they'd talk about small government and maybe throw a bone to the freaks that think the government is using chemtrails to make them gay. Well there'd be flare ups of contempt in the base because these "soft" old money WASP types want to do things like tort reform whereas they want a real shit-kicker who'll bring back corporeal punishment in schools. It's like "we don't give a fuck about your gay-ass business grant scheme, we want to elect the guy that stands outside of the local mosque screaming slurs"

>>2581726
So something about "rejuvenation" of the Bourgeoisie according to Sorel, as I understand it it's less "Oh they'll be better" so much as that when actual class conflict and violence declines, the Bourgeoisie sort of fall into mindless hedonism. Look at Musk, look at Altman, look at all these billionaires. They're jerking themselves off on pie-in-the-sky ideas, they're lazy, they're self-absorbed. The "rejuvenation" of the Bourgeoisie is more or less their class necessarily having to get its shit together to survive open class war. Elon Musk can't keep shitposting while paying Chinese dudes to play Path of Exile 2 for him when there's a genuine threat of open warfare from the proletariat, and if he tries he'll get his Darwin award. This isn't just localized either, the entire Bourgeoisie as a class would get a wake up akin to how a quiet suburb might be on guard if there's a brutal murder in their neighborhood.

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.

As capitalism experiences a crisis of profitability, two things can happen. Either the concrete members of the bourgeoisie, petit-bourgeoisie and professionals surrender to monopoly capitalism by allowing themselves to be cannibalised by monopolies and/or seeking employment from these monopolies. What is technically counted profit is really from the standpoint of the economy as a whole functions as monopoly rent. This is primarily facilitated by stock markets in our day, where value flows from the real economy to the fictitious economy and monopolies.

The other option is a socialist revolution. This has already happened in China. The Chinese government holds a huge stake in the economy and has the political power and will to nationalize companies that seek to turn into monopolies. This is described by President Xi as the fight against "the disorderly expansion of capital". Look at how Jack Ma's attempts to break the state monopoly on banking was handled or how the recent real estate crisis where the companies responsible were forced to take the fall instead of getting a bailout and allowing their monopolistic behaviour to continue.

The Chinese stock market does not facilitate the outflow of value from the real economy. As a whole it doesn't appreciate in value, it always stays constant. Its only function is to force companies to be accountable to the general public, as the ratio of small investors is much greater and to allow people to legally gamble.

So we're back with this since the old one died. This is a thread for those among us who use AI generation tools to share and discuss their work because /draw/ is a space for traditional art and there is no point in us intruding on their turf.

As usual, there are some guidelines for everyone posting to follow:

1. If you're sharing any art, preferably only post your own artwork. If you really wish to share someone else's art, always provide sauce to credit the original author.
2. Be willing to explain your process and tools used to others so they too can learn how to make art like you do.
3. Criticism is to be requested by the author, not handed out willy-nilly. Some people just want to share their work, not have it be deconstructed by every armchair critic that comes across it. Be respectful of their wishes.
4. Any work of yours that is posted ITT should meet at least two of the three following criteria:
A) Your work had at least the minimal amount of your own input. This can mean manual edits to generated images, the use of inpainting/outpainting tools, the use of controlnets, and so on. This also means you made an honest effort to check for obvious mistakes such as unwanted visual artifacts or anatomical errors and fix them. Basically as long as your contribution to the piece included more than typing the prompt, it counts.
B) Your work has a specific style to it. This can mean a specific medium like oil painting, black and white ink sketch, a LORA based on a specific artist's style (or even a hybrid of two styles!) and so on. No default shiny "hyperrealistic" anime style please, the internet already has enough of those.
C) Your work made use of tools that were free/open-source when making the piece and you did not willingly give your data/money to owners of proprietary software like OpenAI

Anyway, with all covered. Happy generating!

Non-binary and other invented genders aren't truly gender identities. If you look at what they post, you'll realize they're primarily experiencing a coming-of-age complex, wanting to return to their pre-pubescent, gender-neutral childhood.
But this isn't gender dysphoria, and non-binary people often don't take any hormones and, after a couple of years, become normal adults.
Yet, they often speak on behalf of the LGBT community, and many liberals support this, even though, in reality, they're cisgender heterosexuals with youthful maximalism and some personality disorders.

I agree that, for something to be a gender , it needs to be part of the wider culture in some sense, like third genders are in the pre-modern world. I would argue though
>experiencing a coming-of-age complex, wanting to return to their pre-pubescent, gender-neutral childhood
meets this criterium in the west, particular in regards to protestant purity culture, even if i don't necessarily think it's a beneficial outlook on life.

blanchardism should be formally and explicitly banned from this board
it is total pseudoscientific drivel that hurts trans people, especially trans women.
We have a site-wide mandate against wojaks and pepes, but not against this bullshit?

blanchardism fails to meet even the bourgeois scientific standards of validity, let alone the scrutiny of dialectical-materialist analysis
it's a crackpot theory concocted by an ameriKKKan Klanadian cishet boomer moid working in the aKKKademic mediKKKal SSience establishment.

All blanchardist lingo should result in an immediate ban lasting 3 to 7 days, with repeat offenders being permabanned.

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"

This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

>This is a Franken-left. I won’t even call it a “left”.

Literally every generation says this. Old Left comrades like the ones who participated in CPUSA in its heyday and who went to jail during McCarthyism hated the 60s/boomer New Left. Those same boomers who were active in the New Left all hated the Gen X/xennial left from the 90s. Gen X/xennial leftists who participated in the anti-globalization movement all mocked millennial leftists for being too sensitive about feminist and queer issues. Now millennial leftists like you cry about zoomer leftists being too sensitive to neurodivergent issues and issues regarding generational trauma. This is the SAME SHIT in every generation. "Why isn't the left the way it was when I was 21?" BECAUSE MATERIAL CONDITIONS CHANGE YOU FUCKING MORON.

You know how when conservatives are asked what period in US history they consider to be the "good old days" they always point to the time when they were 10? Aging leftists like you are no different. When asked about when you think the left was good you'll always point to the time when you were in college and ask why the new generation of college students doesn't believe what you believed when you were their age.

Agree the rhetoric appeals to a tiny minority (most of whom seem to be on leftypol) but it's just detached from reality. I don't get the point of even saying it, and clearly she doesn't really know what she means but she knows it sounds good to her target audience. But that means she's targeting a vanishingly small part of the population. There's actual pragmatic steps that should be talked about, like building up competence within the state apparatus and moving away from outsourcing, creating an nationalised infrastructure company, and talking about that would make you sound less delusional.
She is just stupid and I don't know why she's even got such a prominent position in YP. The entire thing is a farce at this point. I hope the Greens whoop them.

You underrate the importance of staking out a general vibes-based position. Reform got away with obviously-not-happening economic policies (and Farage's recent "oh yeah there won't be big tax cuts after all" speech is the final forewarning that they're an establishment party, not an anti-establishment party) because they stake out the right general direction for some of the people they're trying to appeal to.
If every other party is saying you can't nationalize anything, there are merits to saying "nationalize everything" over saying "um, maybe renationalize the railways… like labour have already claimed to do… uhh…. you know if it's not too much trouble, we used to have public water too… maybe… oh… the bond markets don't like that? nevermind then…", you help drag the overton window in a direction where "nationalize something" is a sensible compromise rather than deranged ultraleftist wilsonite deviationism.

The left will not be taken seriously by the press whether it goes for option #1 or option #2. 1, however, is much easier to defend so long as you don't really care that you're bullshitting or going for a headline-catching maximallist "in 100 years" type demand because you know what you're really holding out for in 2029 is making a referendum on parliamentary sortition your condition for entering into coalition with the greens. It gives you the hammer that magically turns things into nails.
yeah yeah she's just running her mouth and not thinking it through, but the actual president of the USA uses the same strategy. maybe it'll crash and burn, but at least it's crashing and burning in a new way compared to re-running 2019.

How do I cope with the fact that i'm probably genderfluid?

For years now ive constantly been conflicted with my gender, wanting to be a girl but also wanting to just be a femboy. Ive been told by many that im likely some type of non-binary, but I dont want to be. I just either want to be either a normal trans girl or a femboy, but if I identify as genderfluid then I fear that people wont see me as a real transgirl or as a real femboy, so it would be like I just dont get to be either.

God, whats wrong with me? Why couldnt I have just been born as a normal gender-binary-fitting person? I dont want to be genderfluid.

Material explanation of this song?

It's been going viral on social media recently. The "artist", Spalexma, is an entirely AI-generated project that's made multiple CCM and Christmas-themed albums.

Listening to this song, you can hear the so-called "AI accent", that warbly, tingling robot voice.

What does it say that this song is the perfect artifact of conservative culture in America? They don't even give Jesus as much praise as Charlie Kirk.

because the phrase "social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism" dates to weimar Germany, the death of rosa luxemberg, the rise of fascism, etc.? It's in the historical context of the phrase itself. What kind of answer did you want to this?

>>2582180
The cpusa is a fascist party that has never armed a single worker. Social fascists, like that demented one, always blame Communists, not the social fascists, for rise of fascists. They take Dimitrov Report which calls for temporary tactical alliance with social fascists (which can only exist under very peculiar conditions) to arm workers against fascists. That is why they are revisionists who cannot be Communists.

Joe Simms thinks he is applying Dimitrov United Front. Joe Simms hasnt armed single worker. That is why we say Joe Simms and all who follow him are liquidationist dick riders. They just want to ride social fascist dick eternally and call that a united front

>>2582182
The CPUSA literally said that ww2 and the rise of Hitler was actually Rosa fault for not working with Ebert. This is total revisionism. This is fascist line par excellence

Gaddafi did have a lot of aura but politically he was a mixed bag.

Also I believe in state secularism so religious socialism is a bad idea in my book. But he did improve the lives of a lot of people by Nationalization of the oil industry and clean water programs and this song will always be a banger.

Next year marks 18 years since the Great Recession. There is going to be a massive black hole in consumption where the children of Millennials are supposed to be. A lot of people won't be turning 18 next year. They won't be on campus. They won't buy cars. They won't work and pay taxes. They certainly will never invest in the stock market or real estate.

As this happens, AI has already cleaned up the entry level knowledge work market. This process actually started in 2020 when Western students stopped paying tutors in Africa and Asia to write their crappy undergrad essays because of ChatGPT. I seriously think that if we don't beat concessions out of the ruling class in the 2030s, then we never will. They will figure out a way to install a surveillance state and abolish the proletariat with soma and techno-lobotomies.

Yes.

I think it's inevitable that they will roll out a paltry universal basic income along with the incoming central bank digital currencies that will act as a control system for the poor that can debank and impoverish anyone at any time while allowing some freedom to select treats. I think there is no intention nor possibility to bring back productive jobs barring a massive debt crisis from dedollarization that makes labor in the west cheap again and available for future Chinese investment. That is decades away and the elites would probably prefer ww3 instead

It's their tradition. Tradition didn't even mean wearing burkas in Muslim countries until the Saudi Arabia started pushing their salafite interpretation of Islam in the second half of the 20th century. Tradition was actually the way people lived their lives, and that included sex. That's inconvenient to "trad" people today because they are reactionary.

Really dumb post. I don't want to defend rightoids but "family values" rarely means absolute total puritanism. Almost all societies have a mixture of the conservative and the risque in their culture.

A lot of people misinterpret Marx's "first as tragedy then as farce" as if history is cyclical, usually for the sake of memes like picrel but some people act like he meant it literally. In reality he was talking about cases like this where people adopt the 'costumes' of those who came before them to push political programs steeped in issues of modernity.

Salafists are actually some of the best modern examples of this because AQ/ISIS propaganda portrays jihadists as part of a continuity that started with Mohammad and his warriors in the desert, when in reality the spread of political Islam has little to do with things that happened in the 7th century and a lot to do with the institutional failures of Arab nationalism, Cold War great power politics and Western imperialism specifically, the interests of wealthy Saudis, and elite overproduction in the ME.

This is more of a world building problem than a gameplay problem. But gameplay should come first, the world building should be created after the fact.

I don't even see how you could implement magic in a game that's more complex than what you get in something like D&D or just being superpowers with an occult theme. Real life magical/occult practices are usually subtle and free form in how they're supposed to work. It's something I only see working narratively.
