That’s a very good question. Found this:

>There is growing concern that uncharacterized, minimally manipulated cellular preparations from different sources are being misrepresented as stem cells.40 The term ‘stem cell’ specifically refers to rare cell populations in native tissue that are usually resting, not dividing. They are induced to divide infrequently, but when they divide they do so in a manner that is ‘asymmetrical’. This division results in ‘self-renewal’, with one cell returning to the resting state, and the other daughter cells expanding to generate cells, whose progeny can contribute to new tissue formation. Native tissue contains vastly more progenitor cells than stem cells and vastly more mature cells than progenitors. Under normal conditions, connective tissue progenitors (CTPs) are not detectable in human blood. In human bone marrow, a mean of one in 20,000 cells may be CTPs, with far fewer true upstream stem cells.41,42 The bottom line is that while it is possible to refer to blood and bone marrow-derived therapies as ‘cellular’, if any true stem cells are transplanted they are one of the least common type of cell in the mixture. The use of the term ‘stem cell therapy’ is therefore an inappropriate and intentionally misleading misuse of the term that should be purged from advertising materials.


>The term ‘mesenchymal stem cells’ is also misused in marketing and research literature, contributing to confusion. MSCs, now mesenchymal stromal cells, are defined by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) as culture-expanded plastic adherent cells that have trilineage potential and express defined surface markers (Table I).45 Freshly isolated cells from tissue do not contain cells that meet these criteria. However, advertisements frequently lump together all the cells in native tissues that might contribute to either repair or immunomodulation under the banner of MSCs. This conflation between information known about the attributes and performance of culture-expanded MSCs and the highly heterogeneous and rare population of connective tissue stem and progenitors (CTPs) that are available in native tissues has resulted in considerable confusion among scientists, patients, clinicians and regulators.46 Commercial bodies have seized on confusion in nomencla

>Yes treating a group of people as second class citizens and refusing to protect them.
When did I ever say this ? Just because some rape shelters would be based on sex doesn't mean all would be, just like there should be some for men as well. But you have to protect both cisgender women and trans women.
As for Epstein, he raped cisgender women ? He litterally has nothing to do with what I'm talking about, and it just sounds like you're calling me a pedophile for diagreeing with you.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7846503/
Studies show that despite medical treatement, there still exists a physical difference between trans and cis women. This is mostly important for sports.
There are also concrete material reasons for why socities divide people into men and women (one sex gives birth, the other gives the sperm) even if that model is simplistic. Those reasons are still relevent to this day.

>The rate of profit is getting raped in the first world. Organized labor can rape it further and seriously hurt capitalism.
Not necessarily a "revolutionary" by itself. It's just what moves keeps capital moving. An increase in the rate of exploitation would encourage more activity.

>Stop all the LARPing and electorialism and adventurism and billions of hours spent online arguing.

I agree

>Propagandize. Join unions or create ones. Make it militant. Do strikes. Demand higher wages and better working conditions.

You just contradicted yourself. You oppose electoralism because it's this stupid fucking dumb-dumb idea that you can enter the bourgeois house and tell them to do communism. Well, trade unions are a fully absorbed and expected part of capitalism as a form of wage negotiation performed by the labor aristocrat leadership. In WWII, the trade unions actively made sure their members didn't go on strike. They are controlled opposition which leaves the (failed, objectively) idea of Leninists that you can transform them from within, even though the Bolsheviks NEVER relied on trade unions to take power (instead opting for a political coup, promise of land reform to peasants, sailor mutinies and armed suppression of opposition) and the attempted application of that theory in the developed world at the time (Germany) failed SPECTACULARLY. It's HOI4 larping.

I know you said labor unions but the only one is the IWW and it's dead with its only activity being pointless activism sign waving

>Oppose immigration (foreign scabs)

You can't "oppose immigration" because it's a fact of life. There might be some electoral (once again a contradiction) activity to prevent the H1B scabs but it's unlikely because once again you're entering the doghouse that will make you play by their rules. Marx actually wrote about the topic regarding Irish immigrants and he gave a really simplistic answer of "they should organize with the native working class" but this hasn't ever actually worked out that way. I think the early CPUSA was heavily immigrant (iirc from what I read) but it eventually withered away.

So trans rights are a distraction, but the deserted shithole is the number two problem after the economy?
Also, you can't rely on economics alone anymore; the workers' situation is too good now, and a revolution on this basis is impossible (at least in first-world countries; the third world still suffers from unbearable economic conditions, which can be turned into a revolution with a couple of PMCs and a million dollars).

No, you're still not going abstract enough: they are wars between different basic personality types, taste / "cultural capital", and, in aggregate, intelligence.. While petite-bourgeoisie skew one way and "PMC" skew the other, this pseudo-class analysis breaks down when you have to account for proletarians on both sides, different kinds of lumpen and pseudo-lumpen on opposing sides, tech workers generally skewing reactionary but occasionally skewing outright communist, and so on.

If you take a look at any piece of polling data you can find, the last thing on earth you want is the decline of university education. Politics today is fundamentally a conflict between high-openness, high agreeableness, mid-high neuroticism leftists/liberals, and low openness, low agreeableness, low-mid neuroticism reactionaries. The number one empirical predictors of where you'll fall on that scale are education level, and age. Now, you can't do anything about age, but you can control education levels. (And since University enrollment has gone up over time and older degree-educated people generally skew left-liberal, age may just be a proxy for education anyway.)

The dominant material factor beyond liberals losing control of culture is that the underlying neuroticism of the liberal type lead them to social justice and thence to socialism. That constant sense of unease needs an intellectual explanation, and they settled first on identity issues, and then as token measures on that front didn't work, on the economic system as a whole. The bourgeoisie as a whole realized by around 2023-4 that the carrot approach to co-opting these demands wasn't working, so they went for the stick and backed Trump, which set an expectation of a general rightward cultural shift.

This, however, has not really materialized. Institutions will continue to skew liberal because you have to be pretty smart to run an institution and rightists have basically made it their mission to look as dumb as possible. The cultural status of liberals remains basically intact. AI slop undermines the market position of freelance logo designers or whatever, but it does nothing to harm the cultural status of artists as a whole - if anything, it raises it because now people with bad taste can flag themselves more openly.

>Likewise, the working-class doesn't care about cultural issues all that much either and really only cares about short-term economic stuff like the price of gas.
I wonder if it's just because material factors figure more highly. Another example I was thinking of was the Ukraine war. In Ukraine, it's a real war that people are fighting. But overwhelmingly most NAFO people on the internet speaking English are pretty comfortable, their politics tends to be very establishment, and I think they relate to the war in a symbolic way.

>On an almost identical note, multiple liberal women have raised hysteria over big retail chains like Target and Nordstrom selling milkmaid dresses, calling it "tradwife coded" and saying it's indicative that women's civil rights will be taken away … We also see this very clearly with the "clean girl" aesthetic being demonized as right-wing or "eugenics-coded" with the heavy makeup/blue eyeshadow look being championed for being (allegedly) progressive.

You're telling me all of this for the first time, because I don't really use social media anymore (a little bit for different subjects). But I also thought it was the other way around? Like the clean girl look was liberal, and the heavy makeup look was conservative. Look at MAGA women for example, they go pretty heavy on makeup and plastic surgery.

I'm tempted to almost try to explain this more with psychoanalysis or something. People seem to "interpellate" politics through social cues, race, gender, how people dress, talk, walk. Do you remember Milo Yiannopolous. He was a right-wing provocauter who is washed up now, but he would go to college campuses and perform in drag and say stuff that was right-wing as hell, which provoked extreme, red-in-the-face rage among campus liberals. He knew they were going to do this and exploited it. But I'm not sure those liberals would have the same reaction if he wasn't gay and doing drag, because it wouldn't have destabilized their own framework of ingroups/outgroups (which includes gays in the ingroup as basically magical elves who exist to affirm their beliefs). He was just really threatening to some of these liberals, even though he was just some scummy fag with a drug problem.

Now regarding class, I really don't think these things (PMC, petit bourg, urban/rural divide) matter much here. Remember the "diner goth" thing that came up a while ago? Due to the internet, you will find subcultures everywhere across different classes and ethnicities.

There are soyfacing IT workers making $300k/year who are furries and into Kpop and there lumpen Nazis who are into the same shit as well.

And finally regarding fashion, I was never much into fashion but I'll just give my vibes based opinion. Looking at picrel, I think people are just slapping random shit together. And this has been happening for many years now, so it's getting increasingly difficult to identify any real MASS trends. I emphasize mass here. Sure there are dozens of microtrends but they don't give much fodder for analyzing the underlying base.

Based lad.

If David gets laid off or his employer goes out of business, david has no more income.

A deli owner decides who gets the privilege of luxuries like food to survive, and maybe 4 walls and a roof to sit in between shifts. The deli owner could liquidate their property and make significantly more than they would in a year to invest or fuck off and do whatever, otherwise they wouldn't bother running the business in the first place and just get a similar job as david.

Additionally, he can take out loans, pay very little in taxes, and other benefits.

It indicates a lack of knowledge and life experience to think that the main benefit of owning a businesses is getting to write ones own paycheck, and a special kind of retardation to think that the hypothetical is anywhere near a gotcha.

Not unlike how patsoc fascists get when they talk about PMCs. Labor aristocracy is a thing but it will never change the fundamental class relations.


 

Is it fair to say that most of the culture wars that take place in American politics are merely fights between the petite-bourgeoisie (small business owners) and the PMC?

The ruling class doesn't seem to care about the cultural bullshit since they're not really affected by it. Likewise, the working-class doesn't care about cultural issues all that much either and really only cares about short-term economic stuff like the price of gas. Many of the conservative cultural attributes that are thrown on to the working-class are actually the traits of the petit-bourg (being anti-abortion and anti-queer, for instance).

Right now, in the era of social media, it seems like culture wars and "symbolic crusades" are at an all-time high. Interestingly though, much unlike the culture wars of the 80s-2000s which were lead by the right, these contemporary culture wars seem to be mostly lead by snarky white liberals who overwhelmingly make up the PMC. Take, for instance, something like the backlash against Olivia Rodrigo's babydoll dress: for decades liberals pushed "choice feminism" and told people to stop attacking what women wear, yet now seem very concerned about what women wear. Olivia's dress is an issue for them because they associate it with pedophillia, which of course they link to Trump and Epstein (never mind the fact Olivia is a proud liberal herself who works with Planned Parenthood and pro-Palestine organizations). On an almost identical note, multiple liberal women have raised hysteria over big retail chains like Target and Nordstrom selling milkmaid dresses, calling it "tradwife coded" and saying it's indicative that women's civil rights will be taken away. Obviously, this is bullshit. How could something as petty as a milkmaid dress destroy the decades of feminist struggles in America? We also see this very clearly with the "clean girl" aesthetic being demonized as right-wing or "eugenics-coded" with the heavy makeup/blue eyeshadow look being championed for being (allegedly) progressive. For a leftist, all of these things are simply a case of consumer identity vs. consumer identity.

But that's not the point. The real issue in these contemporary examples is that snarky liberal white women fear the decline of their social and cultural status. Jill from Manhattan is mad that Fynnleigh the Mormon tradwife has more TikTok followers than her, even though what Fynnleigh does in her home in Utah has no effect whatsoever on Jill.

Kind of, not really. Most working class Americans are Joe Rogan centrists when it comes to social issues, myself included.

As an example, I'm openly gay, but I've never got any pushback on it because I don't act like a fag or talk about it constantly. The real chuddy politics, the kind of shit h*zoids lean into, are in reality concentrated within the petite bourgeois and the small-business affiliated PMC.

A medieval HRE city and urban society was legally subject to the emperor, however not subject to feudal lords, kings etc. Like for example any urban bourgeois with financial means to do so could recruit a band of Landsknechts and start a proper war against some random rural feudal Junker or other aristocrat of whatever noble rank (not just in theory, such feuds actually took place and could prolong over a long time). What's more, serfs from the feudal countryside might run from their lords, move to a city and become free men if they managed to get a job (i.e. join the proletariat) and accomodation and the former lord could do nothing against it. The cities were ruled by councils which consisted of elected bourgeois guild bosses who would either inherit their position from their family or bought political influence with money. In medieval times the proletariat existed already inside the free cities as free wage workers, however proletarians were not allowed to take part in bourgeois elections, politics was strictly for rich people. This was called "Ständestaat" and it is what our current German rightoids mean when they say "we want to go back to the "good old times", fuck the modern world". As city population grew, manufacturing processes diversified, technology and automation developed and urban societies networked globally the bourgeois guild bosses and merchants became the modern capitalists, amassed more private property and financial wealth than aristocrats (resulting in aristocrats becoming dependent on the richest bourgeois oligarchs to obtain loans for their wars and purchases of the latest representative luxury items) while the situation of the proletariat gradually became worse and worse, which was particularly evident in the form of big slum districts in the cities (like, half of Hamburg used to be a slum of the worst kind) but also in the founding of the predecessors of the unions and first unions, secret worker's societies, in the founding of the first communist party and eventually violent worker's uprisings against the bourgeoisie. Why is this relevant? Well, because the author says that Germany was a monolithic feudal society with dominant feudal entities executing absolute political power well into the 20th century, which is simply wrong: The junkers, barons, dukes etc. and the clergy only ever ruled the countryside, their power Post too long.

Citing from the study:
<A total of 93,642 individuals (3.9 %) had at least one violent conviction. The distribution of convictions was highly skewed; 24,342 persistent violent offenders (1.0 % of the total population) accounted for 63.2 % of all convictions. Persistence in violence was associated with male sex (OR 2.5), personality disorder (OR 2.3), violent crime conviction before age 19 (OR 2.0), drug-related offenses (OR 1.9), nonviolent criminality (OR 1.9), substance use disorder (OR 1.9), and major mental disorder (OR 1.3). […] The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3969807/
So its not that 1% is responsible for ALL crime, but that repeat violent offenders make up around 63% of the prison population, whioe at least 4% of the public have one case of violent offense. So then, some people are petty criminals (~4%), while lifetime criminals are a completely destructive force and total minority (1%). As far as I know, this correlates with the number of sociopaths (4%) and psychopaths (1%).

The real reason veganism died out in leftist circles isn't because veganism became taken over by corporations, but because veganism became a SYMBOLIC CRUSADE, basically a tool by which educated liberal elites (the PMC, if you will) used to "prove" their superior morality to the working-class. Look at any discussion about veganism today (including the one ITT) and you'll see it has nothing to do with anti-capitalism or health or resources or even the climate, but MORALITY. Liberal elites love waving their beyond burgers and soy lattes in the faces of proles as a way of "proving" liberal elites are morally superior and thus deserve to rule over society (if only ideologically).


Not a fascist but I guess you can consider me a national communist with the belief in a stable democratic republic.

The EU emerged from a post-WWI House of Habsburg project with the goal of establishing something like the USA in Europe and retain some power projection cababilities for themselves in areas they used to rule for a long time. For that reason they (and Soros) were main players behind the 1989 color revolution also. The French bourgeoisie wanted a single Euro currency for some reason (it was their prerequisite for approving the German "reunification") and the German bourgeoisie does indeed utilize the EU's "free movement of labour" to exploit Eastern European cheap labour. However, neither French nor German bourgeois and aristocrats need the EU for anything. Both FR and DE are the biggest net contributors in terms of budget while EU law actually puts big countries at a disadvantage within the EU's decision making body, while net receivers like Poland and small nations enjoy more voting power relative to size. Getting rid of the DM came with neglible benefits for German porky and higher cost of living for the working class plus a shitload of problems for the economy, including the problems of € economies who formerly preferred "weak" national currencies. Eastern Europeans and others migrate here since the 19th century when Europe was still multipolar and Euro porkies and aristocrats indulged in inter-imperialist war all the time.
Today France, Germany and Italy would objectively be better off without the fucking EU in any case, that's why we have widespread anti EU sentiment here on the far-left and far-right.
