A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

Erdogan sacks adviser amid efforts to repair ties with Azerbaijan over headscarf row
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sacked a chief adviser on Sunday in an effort to mend ties with Azerbaijan amid a dispute over a headscarf ban, Middle East Eye understands.
Oktay Saral, a chief presidential adviser, confirmed his dismissal to MEE.
“I have absolute respect for the president’s decision,” he said in a message.
MEE reported last week that Azerbaijan had demanded that Ankara sack Saral, along with the prosecution of social media commentators who had insulted Aliyev.

How Sudan's RSF destroyed the survivors of its el-Fasher massacre
Three weeks ago, Hala, a Sudanese woman, left the refugee camp in Tawila and returned to the city of el-Fasher.
RSF fighters immediately approached her as she got out of the vehicle. “They asked me where I was going".
“I told them I was going to our family home because I needed to collect some documents, including my birth certificate and ID. They asked me how many days I was planning to stay and where exactly our house was located. They wanted to check whether I was lying to them or not.”
“Dealing with them is very difficult; they can easily enter your house and threaten to rape you if you refuse to go with them. They might rape you if you refuse, beat you, and if you argue with them, you could end up in prison,” she said.
“The strangest thing is that they might assault you and then tell you that el-Fasher belongs to you, that this is your home, and that you are welcome to return at any time. But there is no security in el-Fasher at all. Women face sexual violence, and anyone who refuses the RSF's demands can be tortured or beaten.

So this is kind of silly but I'm playing through Ace Combat 8 and I'm noticing some interesting themes playing out against the backdrop of insane super science and dogfighting.

Spoiler Warning

So when the game got announced as "Wings of Theve" I kind of rolled my eyes and imagined it'd be based on the Ghost of Kiev, and… well, it is. Though not in the sense that the writers bought into the propaganda. In fact one of the fun elements of the game as you learn is that "The Wings of Theve" is entirely a PR stunt; some bullshit "ultimate fighter ace" concocted by the Federation of Central Usea (roughly analogous to a more federalized EU) to shore up morale.

Throughout the game you see the war through the lens of deception: you have a PR guy working for an NGO that's using AI to make it look like your squadron is bigger than it actually is, your kill count is faked for the sake of improving morale, so on.

As the game goes on you hear some chatter that expands on the conflict way more than I expected. There are various separatist groups you'll fight against who argue that the FCU has undermined their sovereignty for the sake of making it easier for megacorps to exploit local resources. You see a return of the Space Elevator from AC7 that's become this kind of idealized autonomous zone that houses refugees from across the world… and you have to defend it from nationalist terrorist groups trying to destroy it because, and I'm not joking, they literally say that Internationalism is a lie, people who are internationalists are "traitors to their nation", and they explicitly call you a globalist.

By the end of Mission 19 you learn that one of the big hands behind the war is the NGO that your PR guy works for. Their master plan as he lays it out is abolishing national borders for trade and taxation. Basically just neoliberals. The game really emphasizes that this is a nebulous org that owns everything from sports teams, restaurants, heavy industry, you name it. He literally points out that even the pens you're using that come from Ace Combat's version of the USSR were simply another product of theirs thanks to this incomprehensible network of ownership and investment.

It's thrown me for a bit of a loop, because while Ace Combat's never really shied away from politics (and held a pretty strong anti-war, anti-fascist stance in some iterations) this is more than I expected froPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Ever since Call of Duty Cold War, the move with all these propaganda military game series is to give a very slight cynicism and deconstruction where the US does shitty things but is ultimately the lesser evil. The fucking Captain America comics from the 80s and 90s where he calls out the invasion of Grenada and Iran Contra had more balls.

Trump Administration Weighs Seizing Private Oil Reserves as Iran War Threatens U.S. Fuel Supply
>The White House is considering using emergency powers to acquire unused petroleum stocks and auction them to energy companies as crude prices approach $120 a barrel

>The Trump administration is considering an executive order authorizing the federal government to take control of privately held, unused oil stocks and storage capacity, with the petroleum subsequently auctioned to the highest-bidding oil companies, according to officials familiar with the discussions.
>The proposal is being examined as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran continues to threaten global energy supplies. Disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's seaborne oil normally passes, have pushed Brent crude toward $115 a barrel and intensified pressure on American consumers.
>President Donald Trump has already invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA) to support domestic petroleum production and refining. Administration officials are now reportedly examining whether existing emergency legislation could justify a more aggressive intervention in privately held reserves.
Legal authority remains uncertain
>The principal statute under consideration is the Defense Production Act of 1950, particularly Section 101, codified at "50 U.S.C. § 4511" (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title50-section4511), which permits presidential priorities and allocations for materials and facilities supporting national defence.
>Section 303, "50 U.S.C. § 4533" (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title50-section4533), separately authorizes certain measures to expand domestic industrial capacity.

They don't tend to always, but in many two-party systems it's because of electoral rules, boundaries redrawn, known as gerrymandering, and things like this.

Wrong. There is no communist revolution that has been made by giving the bourgeois state the power to repress crime and be "tough on crime," because communists and workers can only overthrow the bourgeois state, establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, and organize against the bourgeoisie by doing what is considered a crime by the bourgeois state. Therefore, scientific socialist theory does not tolerate giving the bourgeois state the power to repress crime, whether to judges, prisons, the standing armed army, or the police. All of these elements serve as obstacles to the supremacy of the proletarian class.

As Lenin's own text in his program before the revolution wrote:

<The party of the proletariat cannot rest content with a bourgeois parliamentary democratic republic, which throughout the world preserves and strives to perpetuate the monarchist instruments for the oppression of the masses, namely, the police, the standing army, and the privileged bureaucracy.

<The party fights for a more democratic workers’ and peasants’ republic, in which the police and the standing army will be abolished and replaced by the universally armed people, by a people’s militia; all officials will be not only elective, but also subject to recall at any time upon the demand of a majority of the electors; all officials, without exception, will be paid at a rate not exceeding the average wage of a competent worker; parliamentary representative institutions will be gradually replaced by Soviets of people’s representatives (from various classes and professions, or from various localities), functioning as both legislative and executive bodies.

[…]
<11) Judges and other officials, both civil and military, to be elected by the people with the right to recall any of them at any time by decision of a majority of their electors.

<12) The police and standing army to be replaced by the universally armed people; workers and other employees to receive regular wages from the capitalists for the time devoted to public service in the people’s militia.

Not sure if this was noticed here as well but in the first round we got 3 communists (Jones Manoel, Elias Jabbour, Humberto Matos) elected and alot of new faces for the left in general that helped our win. Alot of people talked about the left being "wiped" this election but this is a lie, in congress we only lost one seat in comparison to 2022, what got wiped by the far right this election was the big tent center parties who can be reasoned with and brought to Lula's side.

Theres a ton of pressure right now for Lula to govern with the people instead of just following the neoliberal ways he has been doing since forever, lets see what will he do.

I can't be sure of the future but im hopeful, even if Lula doesnt do shit im atleast happy people like Jones and Elias will be pressuring him and the rest of congress. It is infinitely more comfortable to do radical leftwing criticism in a left leaning government than in a rightwing one.

France imposes curfews in parts of Paris, other cities after weekend of riots
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-macron-declines-interior-ministers-offer-resign-2026-10-19/

>French authorities set curfews in parts of several cities on Monday, including Paris, Lille and Nice, as they faced pressure over security failings after a weekend of riots and looting stemming ​from nationwide anti-government protests.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had ruled out a blanket curfew in Paris but not a state of emergency, and had said it was more appropriate for now to ‌apply partial and localised curfews.

>"My determination to restore order is absolute," he told reporters.
Paris police said they had issued orders barring protests in certain areas of the French capital from 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) and had issued a curfew around the Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11:00 p.m. Both would remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

>"A police deployment is in place to ensure strict compliance with these measures," the police said in a statement.

>A source in Lecornu's office said a curfew for minors had been set between ​8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the next two days in Lille, Douai, Wattignies and Denain with the agreement of the local mayors.

>That wiki is libtarded to the gills.
Yes, I can see that.

>Belarus and Nicaragua are both socialist. Belarus is the only European country where Communists can actively attack liberals in the streets and receive the backing of the security services when doing so. If you read Belarusian opposition media it's very funny when they publish an article whining about the Communists in Belarus beating people up or participating in writing the education curriculum.
Doesn't that make the government just sympathetic to communism, no? I understand that Marxism is not a dogma, but this hardly gives the impression of Belarus being a socialist country, unless there are other things which I am unaware about.

>Nicaragua experimented with social democracy for a bit to try to see if the West would ease up, and then Ortega and the FSLN said "fuck it the Americans hate us anyways", and they took back power and recently banned the bourgeois opposition.
This does feel a bit closer to what I had in mind regarding Nicaragua, thank you for clarifying this.

>Venezuela under Chavez & Maduro was also arguably moving towards socialism as well.
I will take your word for it on this one.

>It is America and Europe in control of the global financial system, from the IMF to the World Bank. The current capitalist order is based upon American and European financial and military hegemony. That hegemony is a net negative for humanity as their structural adjustment programs and military campaigns constantly destabilize and destroy other countries, retarding economic development and delaying the onset of an active class struggle by forcing entire countries to regress into struggle for subsistence, or turning them into active warzones.
Yes, exactly. This is what I was asking. Why support any of the side in the war? The lesser of two evils is still evil, after all. The endless wars they wage for profit are a net negative, better to reject them, no?

Student-led Serbian movement ousts right-wing leader Aleksandar Vucic in seismic win
Mr Vucic told supporters at his party’s election night event in Belgrade: “It is now clear that we have lost and the Students’ List has won,” though he blamed the media, alleged interference by unnamed European countries and the “American deep state” for the loss. Radomir Saicic, a Students’ List candidate, said “tonight is not just about results. “It is about people who believed and continued to fight,” he said. “This is a victory over fear. It is nobody’s trophy, it is a citizen’s victory. But victory carries responsibility.”

Berlin’s Plan to Take Back Homes Will Cost Europe’s Biggest Landlord £7bn
Die Linke, which won Berlin’s state elections in September, has agreed to talks with the city’s Greens and Social Democrats as part of plans to transfer ownership of flats from companies that own more than 10,000 apartments, with the legislation scheduled to be brought forward in 2028. Any apartments owned above that 10,000 threshold would have to be transferred into public ownership as part of the policy, with Die Linke proposing an average compensation of around €100,000 per apartment – around 40% below the market value.

In Orthodox Christianity, a synodik is a list of names of the living or the dead who are remembered in prayers and church services. Likewise, Synodik’s members pray for Russian soldiers like they would in a real church. The comments, mostly posted by women, are filled with Orthodox prayers, animated images of icons and cross emojis.

Cuts to rural healthcare become key issue for upstate votes in race for NY governor
The latest flashpoint is in the Hudson Valley, where the Albany Med Health system has filed a plan to curtail services at Columbia Memorial Health in Hudson. Critics say patients in Columbia and Greene counties will now need to drive about an hour north to Albany to receive services that were once in their backyard.

CP of Greece, The way out for the Greek and all other peoples lies in overthrowing the exploitative system
On Friday 23 October Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, visited the islands of Kastellorizo and Rhodes. In Kastellorizo, he visited the Island Defense Command of Megisti, where he met with the officers and staff. He also visited the island’s primary school and medical centre, and met with the mayor. In the afternoon, speaking at a KKE rally in Rhodes, he highlighted the dangerous developments in Greek-Turkish relations and the rivalries among the bourgeois classes and imperialist powers in the Eastern Mediterranean. He stated that the KKE opposes “the policy that transforms Greece into an energy and transportation hub and serves the interests of large monopolistic business groups, a policy that has nothing to do with the interests of the Greek people.” He reiterated the KKE’s position on defending the country’s borders and sovereign rights, opposing any change to the borders and the treaties that define them, while also emphasizing the need to foster friendship and solidarity between the peoples of Greece and Turkey.

Serbia's Election: Student-led opposition triumphs, but communist alternative remains absent
According to preliminary results released by Serbia's Electoral Commission, the Student List secured 52.54% of the vote, compared with 39.29% for the Vučić-backed United Serbia coalition. The result followed widespread demonstrations against corruption and government policies, sparked by the deadly railway station canopy collapse in Novi Sad in November 2024. Serbia's communist organizations approached the elections from different positions. The Communists of Serbia highlighted the student movement under the slogan “Students Win,” while the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) participated through the electoral list of the Russian Party, promoting cooperation with Russia and BRICS and opposition to NATO and the European Union.

>The Communists of Serbia highlighted the student movement under the slogan “Students Win,” while the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) participated through the electoral list of the Russian Party, promoting cooperation with Russia and BRICS and opposition to NATO and the European Union. Neither organization, however, entered the electoral contest as an independent communist force presenting a comprehensive socialist alternative. The NKPJ's electoral alliance failed to secure parliamentary representation, while the student-led movement attracted support from a broad assortment of opposition parties with differing political agendas.
The NKPJ and the Russian party are SNS allies. And no opposition parties got any seats, it was just the Student list, which did not give any of the spots on their candidate list to those other parties. The new parliament is composed of just the Student list, the United Serbia list (SNS) and less than 10 minority party seats. And both these communist parties are extremely niche. The anti-capitalist left is generally outside of the political discourse in Serbia, and the prominence of the Student movement might have brought it back a little (because there are left-wing factions in it), but the Student movement itself is not on the anti-capitalist left. If we're judging it based on the Student list's political program, then they are social democrats and somewhat anti-neoliberal.

Why did you write grassroots movement in quotes? It was not formed by an existing institution and it is composed of many students across all public universities in the country, except for the one in Kosovo. Or do you mean that a non-marxist movement cannot be grassroots by definition? I don't see why that would be like that.
>>2940319
The Bulldozer revolution (which is called just "the 5th of October" in Serbia) is considered the original color revolution but it involved the USA-backed opposition winning an election against Milosevic which he then tried to blatantly steal after the votes were already counted to be in favor of the opposition.
The stronger argument against this being a color revolution is that the West usually blatantly supports them while there is no such support here.
But the real reason is of course that this is a directly democratic student movement making its own decisions at meetings any student can come to. Color revolutions are by definition supposed to take resources and orders from the West, and this is not the case here.

what's the synthesis of IBs and trans culture?

obviously pre-2016-fed/pol/ era, if you're a tran browsing IBs you're or should obviously be old enough to remember life before the rise of "beta" and "incel" culture in 4chan, where the absurd became nihilism and then it came the grooming;

it's not a conspiracy, the "glowie" meme became a thing thanks to the known fact of federal agents browsing these sites, but back on topic:

Recently I've been thinking about why people believe in things, why they act or think in one way or the other. I am now leaning towards "people believe in X or Y to justify killing people".

I really hate to be a doomer or use my fee-fees for opinions but all the drama on twitter, all the bullshit i see on the internet or irl is getting to me

I spent a bit reading up on people's opinions, on some historical massacres, the genocides in sudan, palestine, the cultural revolution and the blood spilled there, the horrible crimes committed in the name of capital or communism or liberation or fascism and I think I understand a bit more about people now.

My dad and I often argue about one thing or another - and i love the man, but he is stubborn and old - and one of those arguments was about empathy. I argued that it is intrinsic, and not just a learned behavior. He argued against it, and now I think he was right

People dont *really* care about achieving a political goal (tho some do). What they care about is justifying their behavior. And most people are crude, violent apes, who behave accordingly. In every age people thought they were the enlightened Modern Man - free of the barbarity of the past. They thought that as they murdered their neighbours, raped children and whatever. So many people just want a group they can hate - whether its brown people, trans people, jews, women, atheists, muslims. Anyone who isnt you, basically.

Doesnt matter which political belief, doesnt matter who or what you are, doesnt matter where or when you live. Most people just want an US and a THEM, and the more of THEM that are subject to violence the better.

How can i begin believing in humanity again when hate mobs kill transhumanists like me, when soldiers murder, steal and rape all over the globe, when people all around the world justify the deaths of innocent people because of how or where they were born?

Why is it so hard for people to see others as people?

Art, music, social hangouts. Boredom creates ideas if given time to think about them, it would force us humans to think smarter and a more logical basis.

>>2940535
>>2940539
double-posting, but holy i do want to emphasize that boredom is something we should actually feel, nobody is "bored" under capitalism because we are fed things by everything and everyone every single fucking time to the point we cant exactly leave room and space for us to really think about the stuff that actually matters.

communism abolishes a lot of that, it reduces the dopamine-kicks you get from capitalism but also contributes to long-term dopamine, or you can just drink and mow the field for 2 hours, life well lived nonetheless.

A lot of it comes from insecurity not imo lack of empathy itself. There's something misanthropic and anti-social about what passes for the "right" these days beyond all the racism, homophobia, transphobia and sexism itself.
You have these (mostly) men hurting because they're failing (in their eyes) in some way (sexually, career wise, status) or imagine themselves as being threatened. (plenty of it ingrained through mass media, peer pressure, etc) And they can't cope the way some do by practicing some self-reflection, and focusing on other goals or appreciating what they have. So they bond over their shared hatreds. Live vicariously through people doing heinous shit. Feel empowered through cruelty, and so on.

There's also the element of apocalypticism (you also see this here) and wanting the world to end (because then their suffering ends or they'll at least get an attempt to thrive and rub it in the faces of everyone who has ever slighted them) instead of things improving a little.

It's grim realizing it's not all down to "class" and some people really are fucking bitter and spiteful regardless of how objectively "successful" they are.

[cont]
Think of how need is recognized as the basis of not just human behavior but behavior in general, and is a staple in biology, sociology, psychology, economics and other fields (including "Marxism"). But people seem to lose the plot when discussing isms, phobias and sexual pathologies. And you'll instead have them argue it's down to mysterious forces imposing this stuff from the 'outside'.

It's so retarded. Minimum wage across all age cohorts has increased almost 50% since 2020. Its now a viable strategy to just sit working some low-skill minimum wage job and expect an above inflation pay rise each year. Meanwhile medium income earners are getting fucked both ways with wage stagnation and income tax bracket freezes.

Bullshit or cope, I had a xiaomi and it had so much shit that you needed to turn off in separate places it was insane, and to this day I never figured out how to disable the xiaomj "safe installer" crap. I got lucky on that phone because it was vulnerable to mtkexploit which rescued it from the trash bin

>>34152
I just hit back out of muscle memory when the stupid safe installer appears. Yeah I had to turn off "features" in separate places too but it took me about a day of getting used to the thing. Yet it is still my daily phone after all these years. Battery still lasts a good day use, too.

everyone's giving you bad advice. the best phone is one you can play the best emulated gaming experience on, get 2 days battery out of, has OLED, and is cheap, under $250.

The entire phone market is an oligopoly keeping certain features from budget and even mid range phones.

Namely, all non flagship phones are artificially limited to 4k30 fps recording, it used to be because of the image signal processor on the cpu, but then it became too expensive to manufacture multiple of those for different cpus, now it's just that the option doesn't pop up in the camera app.

Cameras on phones haven't really gotten better since 2020, the limiting factor isn't megapixels but rather the focal length and tiny sensor size. Every new camera feature since then has been a marketing gimmick.
Manufacturers trying to get more from the tiny sensor ironically makes the picture worse year over year due to shitty overprocessing.


To keep phones from getting cheap all brands collectively agreed to limit midrange phones from having zoom cameras. I bought a redmi note 10 pro 5 years ago and it had a main 108mp camera, a macro camera and an ultrawide. 5 years on the same line offers the same fucking features for 2x the price.

The only thing that keeps advancing are phone cpus but the gap between budget and the one flagship cpu (snapdragon 8 gen 5) keeps increasing year over year due to normal everyday tasks not becoming more demanding.

Also I really like sillicon carbon batteries.

For marx, the asiatic mode of production is about the state monopoly on land ownership, and the apparent lack of division between town and country that was in asiatic society, where the ones doing agriculture and early industry where living in the same places, unlike feudal serfs (also control over irrigation)
It is a concept that has been mostly rejected by any contemporary marxists, including those in the soviet union, with some rebranding it the "tributary" mode of production, where the governing body exerce total control over vital sectors and lord over peasants without tying them to the land

I get it, all good.
Whether China is capitalist or socialist or both or neither is up to debate, and often times it's a semantic one, I wouldn't worry about it. What matters is what China is and what can be learned from it. You'll probably learn MMT and Neokeynesian bullshit at college, which is fine, and it's good to be educated on liberal economics. But do not forget to study Marxism as well.
I think video related is a good starter on Das Kapital. It's a very good channel. But watching videos is not education, you need to read and to write and to debate and be wrong and corrected by others.

WHY? You are insane! What if the technology itself makes it impossible to be not tracked 24/7 like cell phones? The cry for alternative is insane, the technology itself is wrong and can not be fixed.

Anything with a GSM modem is tracking you 24/7 and your geolocation to whoever controls the cell network. In 99% of all cases it means the government of the country you live in.
<Oh no it is not the government! It is the corporation who controls the cell towers
<Who are only 5 max in the country
<Who all can be compelled legally or extra legally to give up this data and given gag orders
<Or the government simply deciding to sit on cables that send their data and record that
<WEW glad I cleared that one up!
This is how GSM technology itself works.

I have a landline phone, not only is it less intrusive than a mobile it's also comfier, if not a little loud when it rings.
You can get an IP-telephony connection from certain ISPs. for me it costs an additional 40 SEK to my monthly broadband subscription plus a one-time purchase of a telephone router from them and telephones can be found for cheap in charity shops.
When I've been asked for my mobile number and I explain that I only have a landline I've been told that it must be relaxing not to have a mobile and it really is!
Other than telephony the only digital services I'm dependent on can be accessed with my puter.

Just a thread to post what anime from the past year or two you've enjoyed and why you think other anons should watch it. I haven't been able to keep up with anime recently due to personal circumstances so I'm trying to catch up. I know we have old wishlist and seasonal anime threads but this one is primarily to recommend stuff to other people, and then maybe others can comment on the rec. Pic not remotely related

chainsmoker cat and the science saru's ghost in the shell.

i just watched hte first two episodes of studio triggers cyberpunk edgrunners season 2. and i'm digging it so far. one thing that stands out though is all the use of game assets and concept art from the video game. in the game night city can appear deserted at times because it doesn't load crowds and traffic correctly. when establishment shots that use game assets and/or concept art from the game that also show the city to be deserted they stick out and appear strange. they did to me anyway. they don't really sell night city as well as ghost in the shell sells any of it's urban environments

Over the past few years I got over my old 4chan pretentious attitude and started watching/rewatching various series with my girlfriend.
>one piece
It’s fucking awesome, until the filler becomes too much and then reading the manga becomes fucking awesome. 1400 episodes isn’t enough. I miss my adventurous friends. I miss the whimsy and something to look forward to after work.
>demon slayer
Animation is drop dead gorgeous. Why do I have to wait for 2 more movies? Writing is mediocre, but I’m not watching it for the nonexistent character development.
>naruto
I fucking hate him and I wish he would just kill himself. After a few dozen episodes I just started falling asleep. This shit is boring as fuck. Believe it. Dropped.
>jjk
Great animation again. Villain trapped in the main character is interesting, and the savior character being taken out of the equation is a neat trick. I don’t like that it’s now another tournament arch in an absurd set up just so they can have more fights without the real world fallout.
>yu yu hakusho
This one was the biggest disappointment upon rewatching it. I had some toonami nostalgia, but I forgot that what starts off as ghost detective turns into shonen tournament bullshit again.
>hunter x hunter
After watching so many shonen recently, this one was actually kinda fun in how simple and innocent it was. I love that so many fights aren’t resolved by fighting. Overall, just real darn cute.
>dananananananan
Love the art style and the tiddies. Fun monsters of the week. I swear to god if the next season is a tournament arc…

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting: Britain must be ready for war in “a little over 1,000 days”

Labour’s Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has declared that Britain must be ready to fight a war in 1,000 days. Writing in Sunday’s Telegraph, Streeting warned that by 2030 Britain’s adversaries’ “force strength and war economy could put them in a position to attack.” Therefore, “My defining priority… is to make sure that this country is ready to fight and win a war. That is the only metric that counts.”

Streeting continued, “To prevent the worst, we have to prepare for it. In the first instance, that means expanding our capabilities so our adversaries think twice about attacking us. Should that fail, we must ensure that Britain is ready for war.”

The op-ed concluded, “That gives us a little over 1,000 days to complete our mission: to be ready with our allies to fight and win. This Government will make sure it is mission accomplished.”

The only adversary named by Streeting was Russia. He stated that the main threats to Britain were not simply the danger of “conventional warfare, or Russian tanks rolling across our borders”, but “the growing threat of state sponsored terrorism, sabotage and hostile acts designed to disrupt our lives, undermine our security and spread fear in our communities.”

Hardly a day goes by when Moscow is not accused of engaging in “hybrid warfare” against the UK via the means Streeting described.

Three days before Streeting’s intervention, the Cabinet Office published new “Be Ready” advice—kicking off a three-year campaign which urges every household to stockpile at least three days of food, nine litres of bottled water and other items needed to survive without access to supermarkets or electronic payments. The government said that being “emergency ready” was necessary to plan for “severe weather to cyber attacks, emergencies” that “can disrupt the services you rely on.”

Streeting’s intervention makes clear that the new guidance is really about war, as tensions with Russia are dialled up. The message is: if war starts, fend for yourself. Many households—after 15 years of austerity and a surge in the cost of living—cannot afford to stock up a pantry full of tinned food, water and other supplies.

Everywhere looks about as hopeless right now. Without an actual organized communist party, which can only form through YOUR, yes YOUR effort, it won't get any better. At best there will be episodes of spontaneous action that result in visible but systemically irrelevant victories. The one country in the world that everyone internationally recognizes as the least hopeless, and in fact to be emulated, including reactionaries, also happens to have the largest communist party in the world. The point of communism is that it represents the point in time when things stop "just happening" and mankind takes responsibility for its own social forces, consciously.

>They won't have the resources to resort to the soft power that they enjoyed with the full force of the US behind them, and that will mean resorting to cold, naked brutality and leaving the working classes fair as they may in the depridations that follow.
Yeah, like in Ukraine. There hadn't yet been a communist revolution in post-Soviet Ukraine. The closest we got in absence of a properly organized communist party was LDNR, even with eastern Ukraine being very publicly pro-Soviet and pro-Russian before state-sponsored skinheads established their reign of terror there.

I think it's pretty significant that one of the first things Zelensky did when the war started was ban any party to the left of Attila the Hun and imprison their leaders.

Why do right-wing grifters like pensandpoison and that Joon girl complain endlessly about “Marxism” and “wokeness” allegedly killing the artistry of modern literature when right-wing conservatives were pumping out all sorts of slop novels in the 90s and 2000s? Picrel, for instance, was about a state governor covering up his daughter’s death from a botched abortion because he needed support from abortion rights orgs to win his re-election and is later exposed by a Christian news anchor with prophetic powers; this crap is no different from a Sally Rooney novel or “Yesteryear” just neocon/Evangelical in orientation with the same dogshit writing style. Tons of hypocrisy and ignorance on the part of the “anti-work” literary critic crowd.

Conservatives and fascists do not care about hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is a tool you use for a third party audience. They know there are contradictions in what they say, but what they say feels right to them. Reality to them is just a tool.

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

Beria and Haqim Bey, also Agent Kochinski and Harry Hay

it's not hard to find these kinds of places if you really dig for them. just most people, normal people, naturally don't want to. the feds probably know about it though. just because the current presidential administration is a bunch of pedos and pedo enablers and the top of the doj chain of command is compromised and deprioritizing and suppressing criminal investigations of child sexual abuse, that doesn't change the fact that this is still america the digital surveillance capital of the world and the fbi monitors and logs anything even remotely suspicious they find on the public web without any need for opening a formal investigation - it doesn't really cost them anything to do it, doesn't require any allocation of man hours or navigating any legal red tape or anything, just run a script that scrapes everything on the site and saves it in their giant classified digital evidence vault where it stays forever. their whole job is based on just brute force accumulation of petabytes and petabytes of digital slop in the hopes that maybe 0.000000000001% of it might actually be pertinent at some point in the future. years from now under some new administration and new chain of command some zoomer fed dicking around on the fbi computer with some ai-powered doj database search tool might pull something from it and correlate it with all kinds of other shit and find out it was run by sam altman the whole time or something and then he'll mysteriously hang himself in prison and then the world will be saved from pedophilia once again.

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

Can anyone give me input on whether my game works as a serious leftist argument? Would like it checked by people who’ve read more than I have.
Near future. Israel lost and Palestine is one state with equal rights. But nobody who ran the occupation was ever prosecuted. They scattered into something like Operation Paperclip 2.0, and the apparatus (surveillance tech etc) got packaged and sold to other states. You play locals raiding one of those exported settlements, still under construction, only guarded by soldiers, no civilians.
Right now no location is defined and the world doesn’t look like anywhere specific, but I’m leaning toward Asian architecture for the levels. I’m also planning an international extension where you fly around in a plane like the Nomad in MGS4, linking up with local movements fighting the exported apparatus elsewhere.
Does this hold up politically, or does it fall apart somewhere? Or should I not be doing any of this in the way that I am.

Anyone got any good recommendations for free courses/resources on creating 3D assets? Have some base familiarity with modelling/texturing etc from ages ago, but want to get back up to speed so I can make my own assets

sounds interesting. it's hard to say whether anything that takes place in a highly optimistic future "holds up" politically. just make it and don't worry about that. quote kinda related.

>>48485
It's interesting, I was aware of this quote and I did think I agree with it, but by its logic videogames made for propaganda purposes to shape what gamers think about genocides in the middle east have not just been much of a custard pie sadly. So by the direct reading of that quote, yes a lot of art won't stop anything, but a lot of art over a lot of time will shape what people think is normal. I feel like that is important, and also in some ways a little hopeless

Here it is on an enchanted phone.
