🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<In the Burgerplane Over the Reich 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™ 🌭 🍔

It is not a matter of finances, we have enough finances, they simply don't want to wear a suit according to their own taste, they don't like suits. I am the only one wearing a suit. This is a sign that they are uncoordinated. And we are very little, we are <20 ppl. They refuse to act in union and instead everyone has their own little ideas and most of them dont have time to do anything because they are fathers and have families (wives and kids), its not working. These people are incapable of promoting the views of anarchist-communism.

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?

No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.

So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

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.

>Everybody has private market economy. None of its current members were anything other than private market economies before joining, and none of them currently show any desire to be anything but.
Except every single post-communist country which were given explicit demands by European advisors that they should fully open their markets to the West and sell off all of their state-owned industry if they ever want to join the EU. Their economies were purposefully hollowed under a carefully executed plan that was explicitly neoliberal.

>Freedom of movement is a big one

What's so good about brain drain in poorer Eastern European countries and increased competition among workers in richer Western European countries? Or about the middle strata of Southern European countries being turned into open-air museums with sky-high unemployment and ordinary people getting priced out of major cities? Does anyone like these aspects of open borders?

>Consumer protection laws is another

The reason why they are there in agriculture is because farmers are constantly in revolt. It wouldn't be otherwise without the EU, especially when it has already done a lot to make agriculture more export-driven and severely reduce the food sovereignty of European countries. In the car industry they are mostly about how to annoy the people sitting in the car the most effectively. They are a protectionist measure which is fine by me against non-EU countries but it also makes cars stupidly expensive. I have to admit the tech industry regulations are cool, but it's also not a flex because the only reason the EU is doing objectively good things like making USB-C mandatory is because it has no tech companies to speak of and in practice that means that US companies control the minds of Europeans and any EU country can be literally turned off at a push of a button. But I don't think there is a single person that is glad about those stupid plastic bottle caps, other than the (most likely German) companies which were given the chance to developed otherwise unnecessary machinery specifically for crushing plastic bottles.

Not in Germany, not in France and definitely not in fucking Brussels, because the main point of the EU is to cement the status of the bourgeoisie as ruling caste forever and thwart even the slightest, most moderate attempts towards socialism.
>Freedom of movement is a big one.
For drug trafickers, human resource trafickers, bourgeois and kulaks who exploit cheap labour from Eastern Europe that's a big one indeed, in fact ensuring "freedom of movement" is one of the EU's most important tasks. For the working class it doesn't mean shit though (i don't even move a lot around within Schengen during holidays). Or it means becoming another foreign bum on the streets of Berlin after losing a temporary job and getting booted out of the flat.
>Consumer protection laws is another.
Getting axed as we speak. Worked admittedly halfway decent some 20 years ago, however only for foreign products. Domestic porkies get a free pass for blatant scam and rip offs. Like, there's nothing being done about inflation in the food sector since like 5 years. NOTHING. Because the EU does not give a shit about "EU citizens". The EU exclusively cares about EU porkies.
>Plenty of EU innitiatives in education.
Like privatization initiatives and allowing capitalists, the church and even all sorts of religious nutjobs and esoteric crackpots to transform public education into a business. Also i don't give a shit about stuff like Erasmus. That's for the benefit of bourgeois and upper middle class kids only.
>Lot of things being build, like schools, parks, infrastructure projects, etc.
As if we didn't have that before the EU. In fact it actually functioned much better before the EU was involved. What's more, right now these funds get reassigned to build a monstrous conventional war machine i.e. billions if not trillions that are much needed for other tasks such as social housing are going to disappear in the deep pockets of a couple stinking rich MIC porkies in the US and EU with zero ROIPost too long.

>fine depending on the size of the deficit and nature of the capital inflows,
usually people who say this defend the neoliberal deindustrialized structure of western capitalist economies. And while this type of structure can produce "growth" the issue is as this financialized country sits on its increasing money pile, the countries which engage in industrial development keep growing and getting stronger, industry wise. Until finally you reach the point where these industrialized powers can easily beat the shit out of the financial power. (industry creates actual fucking goods that can be used to destroy the opposing power). For example, this happened with britain vs spain, and now is happening with america vs china

>>2538998
That makes sense, thanks.

>>2538988
trade deficit = more imports than exports
trade surplus = more exports than imports
balanced trade = balance of imports and exports

it all depends on what your economic strategy is as to whether or not any of these are good things. for example, china builds its national wealth from a "mercantilist" strategy of creating trade surpluses by exporting commodities across the world in exchange for foreign debt (money). the downside to a trade surplus is that while youre making money, youre spending less, so you also consume less. its the same principle as spending, saving and investing. a trade deficit then has the opposite problem since youre spending all your money, and without any inverse trend to balance trade, you will simply run out eventually.

>>2537207
>primitive accumulation is a phenomenon divorced from technological development…
Wrong again because this isn't connected to what I'm writing. For there to be generalized commodity production, so that capitalism can develop by accumulating capital in an economy, there must be changes in the superstructure of society, with the previous mode of production not adapted to the technological advancement that occurred. This is the case with the structures of feudalism, where with the technological advancement of large-scale production, the bourgeoisie were able to dismantle the control of the guilds, create a state that gives equal rights to men as long as it eliminates the obstacles to capital circulation, and prevents peasants and artisans from achieving self-sufficiency because they are unable to survive against competition in the production of goods in the market. This occurred as the bourgeoisie grew in the cities and technological advancements moved from artisanal production to production with manufacturing workers, to the factory system. As the bourgeoisie gained economic power, they used their influence to change the superstructure of the backward society in alliance with other working classes. As the proletariat developed, the bourgeoisie managed to establish itself as the new ruling class, becoming conservative as the proletariat became a force against it. Primitive accumulation depends on a bourgeoisie that strengthened itself to attempt to change society as organizational techniques were discovered. Wealth was accumulated by these bourgeoisie, which clashed with feudal privileges and the communal rights of peasants to their common lands. This was instrumental in consolidating capitalism, with colonization and mercantilism serving as the basis for generalized commodity production for the exploitation of wage labor, allowing it to spread rather than remain localized.

>primitive accumulation occurs in the 16th century; the industrial revolution occurs in the late 18th century…

Primitive accumulation is a preparation for the conditions that form capitalism, helping it to consolidate or form. British enclosure did not occur specifically in the 16th century, but rather was a process that developed until the 18th and 19th centuries with the Parliamentary Enclosure Acts. TPost too long.

How does value change when goods move across markets?

For example let's say a ton of steel takes 1000 SNLT hours in country A, while in country B it's 200 SNLT hours due to higher automation.

So if A exports to B, is value being destroyed? Similarly, if B exports to A, is value being added?

Political implications of more Americans converting to Catholicism?

The American right was heavily associated with Evangelical idpol for the past 50 years. They became the cultural backbone of the GOP from the 80s to the late 2000s. Now it appears like a huge number of former Evangelicals are converting to Catholicism. I even know some ex-Mormons who are Catholic now.

At the same time, it seems like leftists are embracing Catholicism too. Remember when everyone was convinced Pope Francis was a secret socialist? Jacobin mag goes out of their way with appealing to Catholics as well (every other article of theirs is something along the lines of: “Move over pink-haired bipolar feminist queers, here’s why the Catholic Church are the REAL socialists!”). People like Dorothy Day are propped up even though her actual contributions to the American left were minimal and symbolic at best (the Catholic Worker also referred to the priests killed by /ourguys/ in Catalonia as “martyrs” which is disgusting). Not to mention, the Jacobin crowd seems very big on appealing to right-wing Catholic sentiments like complaining about birthrates being too low and proposing Bernie-style policies like universal healthcare to “fix” it, as if low birthrates are a problem to begin with.

But anyway, if Catholicism becomes a major cultural force in America in the next few years how do you see it affecting the political landscape?

Epstein is connected to Israel, this is why Trump is covering it up. He doesn't want to risk the political fallout for Israel when people realize all of Epstein's clients were blackmailed and used as Israeli assets.

"The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein and Barak met numerous times between 2013 and 2017, with Barak visiting Epstein’s properties in Florida and New York approximately 30 times, including a 2014 private flight in Florida. Barak received $2.3 million from an Epstein-associated foundation between 2004 and 2006, and Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak in 2015.

Another connection stems from Epstein’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was a British media mogul alleged to have had links to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Some sources, including former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, have claimed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a “honey-trap” operation for Mossad to blackmail influential figures. A lawsuit by a woman identified as Jane Doe 200 alleged Epstein boasted of being a Mossad agent.

Epstein was also associated with the Wexner Foundation, which supports Jewish leadership and has ties to Israel. His financial backer, Leslie Wexner, was a member of the “Mega Group,” a collection of Jewish philanthropists, which some, like former NSA counterspy John Schindler, have speculated was linked to Israeli intelligence operations. Epstein reportedly invested in an Israeli startup, Reporty Homeland Security (later rebranded as Carbyne), connected to Israel’s defense industry, further fueling speculation."

Events in Ukraine just posted a substack studying the high possibility that the Ukrainian government defaults into drug trafficking to get funds, now that some of the resources are swindling.
the evidence is based on the meeting of one of the top GUR figures:

with member of the Serbian mafia.
The Artan commander (Torkotyuk), is commander of a battalion filled with neo-nazis. which is in itself with conflicts with the SBU.

Obviously they're criminals and looting our countries, but they've always struck me as competent nonetheless due to maintaining hegemony and working towards a grander scheme. However, I'm coming to the realization that the current batch is not just looting us, but that they're genuinely incompetent. Was it Kissinger's death that turned the tide? Were they simply duped by the techies? What in the fuck happened?

When were they competent? Trump's personality formed during the peak of American dominance, most people who are in power right now are the same. These people are also quite sheltered and distant from society. There are many very basic things about modern society and culture they don't know. Trump may not even know how to use a web browser, that's how old he is. He is a member of the ruling class from the very best glory days of capitalism, he was active in political circles for many years before he got elected. British ruling class still gets maids to jack them off in bed like the aristocracy did in the 1700s. That's why figures like Bismarck are so legendary and historically important.

The pro PRC anons here, are coping. There won't be a Chinese century. China today increasingly resembles a kind of Dengist Brezhnev stagnation: a system originally built for rapid mobilization and catch-up growth that now faces diminishing returns, bureaucratic inertia, and structural rigidity.

The Dengist growth model was revolutionary and finite

Deng Xiaoping’s post-1978 reforms unleashed:

- Market incentives within a planned framework
- Export-oriented industrialization
- Massive investment and urbanization
- Pragmatic central control (black cat, white cat…)

For 30+ years, that model delivered almost miraculous catch-up growth, exactly as Stalinist heavy industry did for the USSR in the 1930s-1960s, or as Brezhnev inherited in the 1970s.

But, like the Soviet system under Brezhnev, China’s model has:

Are gacha games another part of why a lot of young men are reactionaries? It seems like gacha gaming in general seems to be something that is supported in a lot of right-wing nations and even in China the gamers who like gacha games tend to be rather right-wing.

There's a division between:
1. The "based right", who supposedly fight for the white race and the cuckservative Christian society that da joos are trying to destroy Adolf Schicklgruber, Trump and Jesus are jews btw.
2. The «soy left», who support BLM, LGBT, feminism, and so on.

If you look objectively and remove all the propaganda and stereotypes, you can understand that the right is about licking the boyar's boot and persecuting those who are not part of their agenda.
The left, after all, is about some kind of utopia. The left supports the rights of the marginalized, such as gays and trans people, who don't fit into the right's agenda. Any negro will be smarter than a nazi unter, so racism is pointless and there's no need to support it (I think an artist from Africa and a European one will be closer to each other than an artist from Europe and a European office worker). The stereotypical feminist agenda of equal rights and responsibilities is much better than the t0rahditional family (even if this agenda is not reality). It's better than living in a world where women have no rights and are forced to stay at home, while men are forced to work and fight.

In general, if you see MSM coverage of a movement being discredited, take an objective look. Perhaps this movement is being deliberately created to discredit a good goals.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

I swear on my life there isn’t a single shonen author that understood what made dragon ball different. Ignoring the ki system, the show was genuinely about martial arts and still is. There wasn’t and still isn’t constant use of theatrics, most techniques shown were completely real and borrowed from karate and jest kune do, acrobatic tricks weren’t used routinely they were used when someone was getting dog walked just to demonstrate superiority, and most injuries were fucking real. Even the ki system is partially realistic given that aura creation is analogous to tummo breathing used specifically to heighten one’s internal body heat for preparation for intense activity. Even ultra instinct is a direct reference to a real concept called Mushin that functions exactly like the technique shown in the show.
Instead every shonen that came out after it is just acrobatic wizards with kickboxing skills after acrobatic wizards with kickboxing skills.

In the two years since ChatGPT and DeepSeek were released, we have observed some significant quantitative leaps.

The use of commercial AI has allowed many people to bring their fantasies to reality through the use of "AI Slop." This has created a divide in the artistic sphere by sparking debates over AI art and whether it should be considered art.

AI has made accessing knowledge more convenient, as it can scan the internet to provide the information you desire. However, it has also made people less knowledgeable, as they become too lazy to do the research themselves.

There has also been an ongoing project to implement AI into the military-industrial complex, which has created Project Maven (or similar). This can only be described as a mechanized executioner.

Not to mention that AI systems can be of great importance to future socialist experiments, as we know that the quantitative leaps produced by AI can create qualitative changes.

In other words, this thread is about discussing the importance of AI in the future socialist experiment and what your opinion on it is.

My opinion is that we do not need a weekly iteration of an 'AI' thread that in the end only is about LLM and people discussing a topic they have no technical expertise to discuss whatsoever.

>>2538535
>The use of commercial AI has allowed many people to bring their fantasies to reality through the use of "AI Slop."
It didn't "allow" anything, it just made the "what if what I make isn't goad enough" hurdle weirder by giving an instant option that will leave them unsatisfied, but then further paralyzed to take any other route of implementation because the AI can emulates things people consider their own beginner art to lack: rendering, backgrounds, greebles, etc… so the effort barrier is out of whack when it's an option.
>This has created a divide in the artistic sphere by sparking debates over AI art and whether it should be considered art.
On twitter, maybe. No one really debates that anymore. Art is just a form of communication, and AI is just a very vauge and indirect one that doesn't actually need a sender, and thus raises issues on the internet–a massive communication machine–that senderless and thus incommunicative communication is better at search engine optimization, and thus building the internet around search engines and supermassive, unmoderatable platforms that curate on the same principal as search engines was a mistake and we'll need to adapt to using an internet that doesn't have either.
>AI has made accessing knowledge more convenient
If you have to do the same research to vet it anyway then it's just a pointless step. All it did was make "it came to me in a dream" socially accepatble among twitterites.
>Not to mention that AI systems can be of great importance to future socialist experiments, as we know that the quantitative leaps produced by AI can create qualitative changes.
This paragraph does not convey information.

That said, machine learning has always been useful and will continue to be, there's a reason the USSR dabbled in it. AI, thoughever, is a marketing term and there's no place for commercial advertisement under socialism. So no, AI won't survive the bubble.

Since machine learning can be used for weather forecasting stuff (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08252-9) maybe it could be useful for brain-to-computer interface Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>there's a reason the USSR dabbled in it
If all the libs promoting 'AI' did any research and realized how much of the groundwork for ML was done by commies, they'd dismiss this shit immediatly lol.

>Since machine learning can be used for weather forecasting stuff

Especially forecasting with ML is kinda iffy, imho, and most papers that conclude with 'our model outperforms tested method XYZ' seem not to hold what they promise when put into production and faced by new, unseen data.
