Replacing morality.

"Good" and "evil" is idealism and should be discareded, but replaced with what?
My answer is with this binary: communitary and anti-social.

Communitary actions and people are those that do things that help the group. Anti-social actions and people are those that harm the group.

Giving people food for free is communitary, stealing is anti-social.
Another useful binary is problem-solving and trouble-making.
Why do people love heroic characters? because they are portrayed as characters that solve problems, help and even save other people even at their personal expense. Why do people hate villanous characters? because they cause problems for everyone else for their own gain.
We like people that are communitary and that solve problems, we don't like people that are harmful to the group and make problems.

Then what about justice? Justice is also not real. Then what should it be replaced with? with problem solving.
If a guy kills 10 people then it doesn't matter whether he deserves to be tortured or not, what matters is whether that'd solve any problem. If not, then there's no reason to do it.
Thinking of giving criminals proper punishment is pointless, because even if you do give them the most deserving punishment you are not fixing the problem of people commiting crimes in general nor the problem of this particular person being anti-social. If effort was concentrated on the issue of problem-solving rather than justice-seeking then we'd be closer to actually solving our problems.

Kamala Harris is the biggest threat to the success of both socialist electroialism (ex DSA) and the creation of revolutionary conditions.
Kamala leads the neoliberal LARPing as social democrat and is currently trying every measure to rework her previously awful policies and opinions into now some barely agreeable shit, for example she now is condemning biden (while not menitioning herself LMAO) about the gaza genocide. She still believes in imperialism of course and anybody denying this is retarded
>she supported the coup against manduro and occuption of venezulia
>she supported action against iran
>she hasn't condemned trump's economic's once excluding traffis
>she supports ICE, both during her time in government and now

If we do not prevent her from getting elected we are gonna face huge issues, she used idpol against those who opposed her before and will do the same now.

I enjoyed reading Mein Kampf to laugh at Hitler's chuddery:

>My knowledge of the trade-union organization at that time was zero. I could have proved neither its usefulness nor its uselessness. As I was told I must join, I refused. I gave as my grounds that I did not understand the situation, but would not be forced to do anything whatever. Perhaps the former was the reason why they did not throw me out at once. They may have hoped they could convert me or wear me down within a few days. In any case they were deeply mistaken. But within a fortnight I had reached the end of my ability, even if I had wanted to go on. In that fortnight I came to know my surroundings better, so that no power in the world could have forced me to join an organization whose members I had seen in such an unfavorable light. The first few days I was annoyed. At noon some of the men went to near-by public-houses, while others stayed on the lot, and there consumed a (usually quite pitiful) lunch. These were the married men, whose wives brought them their midday soup in miserable dishes. Toward the end of the week their number kept growing; why, I understood later. Then they would talk politics. I would drink my bottle of milk and eat my piece of bread somewhere aside, and would cautiously study my new surroundings or ponder my wretched lot. But still I heard more than enough; and it often seemed to me that people sidled up to me deliberately, perhaps with the intention of forcing me to make my attitude clear. In any case, what I heard in this fashion was calculated to irritate me to the extreme. They were against everything: the nation, as an invention of the “capitalistic” (how often had I to hear that word!) classes; the Fatherland, as a tool of the bourgeoisie to exploit the workers; the authority of law, as a means to oppress the proletariat; the schools, as an institution to (rain up a body of slaves, and of slave-owners as well; religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation; morals, as a symbol of stupid, sheep-like patience; and so on. There was simply nothing which they did not drag in the muck of a fearful baseness. At first I tried to maintain silence. But finally I could do so no longer. I began to express my attitude, and began to contradict. Then I realized that this was quite useless until I knew something definite about the points under dispute, so I began to go to the sources from which they drew their supposed wisdom. Book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet had its turn. On the building lot there were now often heated arguments. I went on struggling, growing day by day better informed than my adversaries were, until one day the means was used which most easily vanquishes reason: terrorism, violence. Some of the spokesmen of the opposition forced me either to leave the job at once or to fly off the scaffolding on my head. As I was alone, and resistance seemed hopeless, I preferred to follow the former advice, richer by one experience. I left, filled with disgust, but at the same time so agitated that it would have been quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole affair. No; after the flaming up of the first indignation, my stiff neck once more got the upper hand. I was absolutely determined to find another construction job just the same. My decision was strengthened by the privation which closed me in its heartless embrace a few weeks later, after I had eaten up what little wages I had saved. Now I had to, whether or no. And the game began all over again, only to end as it had before. I struggled with myself: were these human beings, worthy of belonging to a great people ? It was a painful question. If the answer were yes, the struggle for a national body was really not worth the effort and sacrifice which the best individuals must make; but if the answer were no, our people was poor indeed in human beings.

TL;DR Hitler is impoverished in Vienna, gets a job, refuses to join the union because "i don't know nuffin bout dat shit and u cant make me do nuffin", workers try to educate him, he gets annoyed with them for not being nationalist enough and being anti capitalist, starts to debatebro ben shapiro style, they threaten to beat his nerd ass, he leaves pissed off and decides they're all subhumans. This is hilarious to me because all the neo nazi revisionists try to make hitler out to be more anti capitalist than the "judeobolshevik" marxists.

The SOLE reason Bolsonaro Jr. is winning and the parliament is fillen with reactionary sociopaths is because the ZUKA population is majority sociopathic bigoted vermin

Zukas, ESPECIALLY hetero male vermin are overwhelmingly hateful sociopaths who voted on the right to make the lives of these minorities worse, is literally idpol for them and that's it no matter how much they complain about corruption (the right is 100000x more corrupt than the socialdemocrats)

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.

There is no "AI" ya nincompoops. It's just dead labor feasting on living labor.

Marx called capital "dead labor" that feasts on "living labor" because capital is the result of past human labor that has been accumulated in the form of money, machinery, factories, and other means of production, no matter how "advanced" and "futuristic" those means of production get. Although these things were created by workers, they become instruments of capitalist power when privately owned and used to generate profit. In capitalism, workers must sell their labor power to survive, producing goods and services whose value exceeds the wages they receive. The capitalist takes this surplus value and reinvests it to accumulate even more capital. Thus, “dead labor” feeds on “living labor” because the wealth created by workers in the past becomes a force that controls and exploits workers in the present, continually expanding through their labor. For Marx, this expresses the central contradiction of capitalism: human labor creates wealth, yet that wealth confronts workers as an independent power that dominates them. Now take that basic Marxian principle and apply it to "AI."

There is no magic "AI." There is an emerging body of technologies built by human beings, trained on human-generated data, powered by enormous human-built computing infrastructure, and sustained by significant human-made investments of energy, water, hardware, labor, and capital (dead labor!). Calling these technologies “artificial intelligence” can obscure more than it explains. The term encourages us to imagine an independent, almost supernatural intelligence that exists apart from human knowledge and effort, when what we actually have are complex systems that identify patterns, generate predictions, and produce outputs based on statistical relationships learned from data. That data comes, directly or indirectly, from people: their writing, research, art, expertise, experience, and accumulated cultural knowledge. These systems do not emerge from a vacuum. They are built upon the intellectual labor of human civilization, and their capabilities are inseparable from the quality, diversity, and limitations of the material on which they were trained.

The quality of these systems depends on much more than the quantity of data they consume. It depends on whose knowledge is represented, whose experience is excluded, how accurately the material reflects reality, and how effectively the system has been trained to distinguish reliable information from error. A system trained on a broad mixture of knowledgeable experts, careful researchers, skilled practitioners, and diverse perspectives may be useful in many contexts. A system trained on incomplete, biased, outdated, or poorly vetted information may reproduce those weaknesses with remarkable confidence. Even high-quality training data does not guarantee high-quality answers in every situation. These technologies can make mistakes, fabricate details, miss context, and produce plausible explanations that are fundamentally wrong. They can be powerful tools, but their outputs still require judgment, verification, and often the very expertise that people are being told they no longer need.

The most dangerous misconception is the idea that this technology is a black box into which anyone can type a request and receive an infinite supply of high-quality work at virtually zero cost. The interface may look effortless, but the infrastructure behind it is not free, the resources required to operate it are not infinite, and the quality of its output is neither unlimited nor guaranteed. The apparent simplicity of asking a question conceals layers of human engineering, training, maintenance, evaluation, and physical infrastructure. More importantly, generating an answer is not the same as knowing whether the answer is correct, useful, ethical, or appropriate. A person who understands a field of expertise can use these tools to accelerate their work, identify possibilities, and explore unfamiliar territory. A person who lacks that understanding may have difficulty recognizing when the same tools have confidently led them astray. Expertise does not become irrelevant when technology advances; in many cases, it becomes more important because someone still has to evaluate what the technology produces.

This is why the growing narrative that young people should stop pursuing education, abandon difficult skills, or give up on developing expertise because "AI is going to take their jobs" is so socially destructive. It teaches people to surrender their agency at precisely the moment when they need to become more capable, adaptable, and intellectually independent. Education is not merely vocational training for a specific job that may or may not exist in twenty years. It teaches people how to reason, investigate, solve problems, communicate, recognize flawed arguments, understand complex systems, and make responsible decisions. Learning mathematics, engineering, medicine, history, writing, art, or a skilled trade develops capacities that cannot be reduced to the production of a finished document or the completion of an isolated task. If society persuades an entire generation that learning is pointless because a machine will do everything for them, it risks creating a population increasingly dependent on systems it does not understand and increasingly unable to challenge their mistakes.

There are also serious economic and social consequences to normalizing this message. If workers come to believe that their skills are destined to become worthless, they may be less inclined to invest in education, negotiate for better working conditions, or organize to ensure that technological gains are shared fairly. Employers may use the threat of automation to suppress wages, reduce staffing, intensify workloads, or justify replacing experienced workers before they have demonstrated that the technology can reliably perform the work. Educational institutions may feel pressured to prioritize immediate technological trends over the deeper development of human capabilities. And individuals who are already anxious about their economic future may experience greater insecurity, alienation, and hopelessness. These outcomes are not inevitable consequences of the technology itself; they are consequences of how societies choose to deploy it and how people are taught to understand their own future in relation to it.

We should be having a more serious conversation. The question is not whether these technologies can be useful; clearly, they can. The question is how to use them without confusing automation with understanding, statistical prediction with wisdom, or convenience with genuine competence. We should teach people how these systems work, where their limitations lie, how to verify their outputs, and how to combine their capabilities with human knowledge and judgment. We should encourage students to learn difficult things, not because technology will never change their professions, but because people who understand the underlying principles of their work are better positioned to adapt when it does. We should demand transparency about the resources these systems consume, the labor and data on which they depend, the economic interests driving their development, and the real-world consequences of their implementation.

Ultimately, the greatest risk may not be that machines become capable of doing more of the work that people once did. It may be that people are convinced they no longer need to understand the world, develop their abilities, or take responsibility for what happens within it. Human knowledge is not an obsolete input to be consumed by a machine and discarded. It is the foundation on which these technologies are built, the standard by which their outputs must be judged, and the resource society must continue to cultivate if it wants to use them wisely. We do not need to worship "AI," nor do we need to dismiss it. We need to demystify it. These are human-made technologies with real capabilities, real costs, and real limitations. Our future will depend less on whether we can make them produce more and more output, and more on whether we remain capable of understanding, evaluating, and directing what they produce.

Noel Ignatiev

So back in the days when I used to browse /pol/, this guy Noel Ignatiev used to be brought up quite a bit especially in those threads full of poorly-sourced infographics about how those Heinous Hebrews want to destroy all white babies yada yada. I remember this guy standing out particularly because his quotes always seemed to be framed as some of the most particularly vitriolic towards white people, pic related.

Out of curiosity, I decided to do some research on him, and it turns out this guy was actually a Giga. Here's some interesting episodes from his life:

>For twenty years, Ignatiev worked in a Gary, Indiana steel mill and also in the manufacturing of farming equipment and electrical components. A Marxist activist, he was involved in efforts by African American steel workers to achieve equality in the mills. In 1984, he was laid off from the steel mill, approximately a year after an arrest on charges of attacking a strike-breaker's car with a paint bomb.
>Ignatiev was accepted to the Harvard Graduate School of Education without an undergraduate degree.
>From 1986 until 1992, Ignatiev served as a tutor (academic adviser) for Dunster House at Harvard College. In early 1992, Ignatiev objected to the university's purchase of a toaster oven for the Dunster House dining hall that would be designated for kosher use only. He insisted that cooking utensils with restricted use should be paid for by private funds.
>In 2008, the American Jewish Committee objected to an encyclopedia article on Zionism that Ignatiev wrote for The Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. In the article, Ignatiev described Israel as a "racial state, where rights are assigned on the basis of ascribed descent or the approval of the superior race" and likened it to Nazi Germany and the Southern United States before the civil rights movement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Ignatiev

So here's one of his more inflammatory quotations that nazis like to attribute to him:
>"Make no mistake about it: we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed—not "deconstructed" but destroyed".

Sounds pretty awful right? Like he just hate all whitoids or something? Well, the language used is definitely edgy, but the edginess was used to bring attention to a much more nuanced point:

>Ignatiev's web site and publication Race Traitor displayed the motto "treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity". In response to a letter to the site which understood the motto as meaning that the authors "hated" white people because of their "white skin", Ignatiev and the other editors responded:

>We do not hate you or anyone else for the color of her skin. What we hate is a system that confers privileges (and burdens) on people because of their color. It is not fair skin that makes people white; it is fair skin in a certain kind of society, one that attaches social importance to skin color. When we say we want to abolish the white race, we do not mean we want to exterminate people with fair skin. We mean that we want to do away with the social meaning of skin color, thereby abolishing the white race as a social category. Consider this parallel: To be against royalty does not mean wanting to kill the king. It means wanting to do away with crowns, thrones, titles, and the privileges attached to them. In our view, whiteness has a lot in common with royalty: they are both social formations that carry unearned advantages.

To me, this sounds like your run of the mill progressive position that most white people take. His book How the Irish Became White illustrates it pretty plainly, and it's common knowledge today that Irish, Italians, and other European groups worked really hard to become accepted as "white" in America, and a lot of that has to do with buying into a system of social importance, making all the right dogwhistles, and paying homage to all the right people in power. We can see the treadmill continuing to move today with so many Hispanic Americans now starting to begin their own journey by voting for Trump or Joining ICE, following Nick Fuentes, hell they even got Marco Rubio in the white house. I wouldn't be surprised if the first Hispanic president got elected on a Republican ticket.

His work is still relevant today. Whiteness since its inception 400 years ago in colonial America has always been an arbitrary categorization used by Capital to maintain institutional and political power, ever since it became obvious that free blacks, whites, and natives had more in common than landowners. "Whiteness" is one of, if not the biggest barrier to intensifying class struggle in the USA right now. Thanks chuds for keeping this guy's memory and work alive for us to appreciate.

<If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?

>The government wants us all to start preparing for severe disruption to our lives. It wants us to stockpile canned food and drinking water, strengthen our civic resilience, and plan for the possibility of war.

>Work has begun on the government's so-called "war book", which hasn't been updated in decades.

>The UK's most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the "most dangerous" period of his 35-year career in the armed forces.

>But what is the threat? In 1940 the danger of a German invasion of the UK was very real. But the chances of Russian tanks rolling up Whitehall are surely negligible.

>"It's not the tanks you need to worry about," says historian Margaret MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us.

>"It's the cutting of cables on the ocean floor. It's the hacking into systems on which so many things depend. The possibility for asymmetric war, for cyber war, is growing by leaps and bounds."

>But are we ready? After 80 years without war on our own soil, are we, as a society, psychologically prepared for it? Are we ready to approve large increases in defence spending, and for the sacrifices that that might entail in other areas of our national life? Or does the threat seem too far-fetched to be real?

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM"

https://paulcockshott.wordpress.com/2026/10/04/on-my-expulsion-from-the-communist-party-of-britain/

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM" AMONG OTHER THINGS

Quote:

The basis for this seems to have been that I retweeted commentary by Craig Murray and David Miller about the arson that was committed against a group of ambulances in London that belonged to a Jewish community charity. As readers may recall, the media and the Government immediately described the arson as evidence of growing antisemitism and suggested that it was probably part of a conspiracy directed by the Iranian Government. Security Minister Dan Jarvis told Parliament: “The House will be aware that the police are treating this arson attack as an antisemitic hate crime.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer described it as: “a horrific antisemitic attack”. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood referred to it as an: “Iranian-linked firebomb attack” and an “abhorrent crime”. By July the Government’s language became considerably stronger. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced sanctions on an Iran-linked group and stated that the organisation had: “publicly claimed responsibility” for attacks including “the antisemitic arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green in March” The same statement further asserted: “members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force … almost certainly directed IMCR attacks across Europe.” You may recall that clause 15 of the CP’s Social Media Protocol states that members should not promote antisemitic conspiracy theories or conspiracy theories based on unverifiable claims. It is evident that a conspiracy took place because, in law, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a criminal offence. Arson is a crime, and three people were filmed setting fire to the vehicles. The existence of a conspiracy is therefore not unverifiable. What remained unverified was any claim about the perpetrators’ motivation, organisation, or links to a specific foreign government. At the time, responsibility for the attack remained a matter of public dispute. Government ministers advanced one interpretation of the evidence. Craig Murray advanced another. Reposting a journalist who questions a government interpretation of events is not the same thing as promoting antisemitism. The commentary I retweeted by Craig Murray included links to an article he had published casting serious doubt upon the government’s version of what had happened. The social media rules do not prohibit communists from drawing attention to articles by journalists that question the positions taken by His Majesty’s Government. Whether the conspiracy theory promoted by the Home Secretary is correct is a matter of legitimate public debate. The panel asserted that certain reposted material constituted antisemitism. This assertion is not supported by evidence and is inconsistent with established legal standards. Another repost concerned commentary by Professor David Miller. The panel treated Miller’s statement as inherently antisemitic. Professor Miller had been dismissed by the University of Bristol following allegations made by several organisations regarded as sympathetic to Israel. Two independent investigations reportedly concluded that Miller had no case to answer on allegations of antisemitism. The Employment Tribunal subsequently ruled that his anti-Zionist beliefs were protected under the Equality Act. The investigatory panel nevertheless treated quotations from Miller as self-evidently antisemitic. In Miller v University of Bristol (Employment Tribunal, 2023), the Tribunal held: Anti‑Zionism is a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Criticism of Zionism, Zionist organisations, or the political influence of Zionist groups is not antisemitism. Miller’s anti‑Zionist arguments were rational, coherent, and lawful. Disciplinary action based on anti‑Zionist political speech is unlawful. It follows that reposting legally protected political speech cannot in itself constitute antisemitism; nor can reposting legally protected anti-Zionist political speech in itself constitute misconduct. The panel appears to have given credence to allegations against Professor Miller that were subsequently found, through repeated investigatory processes, to be unfounded. It then transferred the unjustified taint associated with his writings to me for quoting him.

nature of belief

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?

<feels good man
<shekels coming in
<hope-pilling intensifies
<property rises
<wanting to share rises
<increase interest in communism
<petit bougie sentiment inside me stabilized
<selfishness decreased
<discipline stronk
<confidence in planning restored

Why does this happen? Not only why does my psychology change due to material conditions, but why does it change the way it does? I see so many who want communism when under stress and then lose interest to it when they go up the economic ladder, but to me it's the opposite.
I don't want communism when under stress and want more gibs for myself.
But when I reduce stress after successfully working, I want communism.
Am I retarded or something?
I think this aspect of human nature is missed often in leftist discourse especially psychological changes among plebs when communism arrives and potential implications for USA.

Neocon Iraq War criminals

Why is it that the surviving members of the George W. Bush administration who acted as the architects of the Iraq War have never faced any legal penalties for what they did?

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????

The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

Arguments on race "realism" and the one-sidedness of it all

I'm specifically talking about atheist racists who want to prove there are superior and inferior races.
My main argument is that racists are given platforms to spread pseudo-science but basically no real scientists fights them out of fear of being grouped in with them and losing their reputation. No respected biologist wants to be known as the "racism debate guy" and this creates a lack of pushback.

I have yet to find a single intelligent "race realist", it's pretty much all ramblings about supposed hatred against whites and jewish conspiracies. On the flip side however I have not found any serious intellectuals actually contending with these ideas. Real scientists seem to not care about this topic whatsoever. Race "realists" are given free roam to spread propaganda with zero pushback.

Basically what I'm asking for is what are some intelligent discussions on biology in the context of race. The only really decent *popular* video I've seen is "the bell curve" by shaun but shaun is not a scientist and one video is not enough. There was another guy who I remember made good videos debunking these ideas but he had a heavy accent (perhaps german?) and I have not been able to find him since.

>It's because of censorship that this topic is not debated more!
I think the censorship angle actually works to the benefit of the racist as they are allowed to spread propaganda with zero recourse while an actual scientist engaging with them marks them to be endlessly harassed and looked down upon by other intellectuals for giving a racist a platform.

>I'm from /pol/ and race is real because of this chart I saw
I want someone with an actual interest in science not a 15 year old who just found out dylann roof exists.

Hunger strike in Lebanese prisons ends after settlement over amnesty bill reached
The bill, which was passed by parliament in August, was suspended after a parliamentary bloc filed an appeal against it, citing fears it would allow the release of Islamist detainees accused of mounting attacks against Lebanese army soldiers and servicemen. Some of them have spent long years in prison without standing trial. The country’s constitutional council rejected the appeal, instead mandating amendments to some clauses and the removal of others. More than 600 prisoners had been on hunger strike for 30 days in protest against the suspension of the law, which would have benefitted thousands by reducing their prison terms.

>republicans stop the coup in 1936 and force the nationalists to struggle for 3 years to achieve a victory
>numerous republicans refuse to surrender and continue a guerilla war that lasts up to the 1950s, even attempting to invade Spain with a large force from France at the end of ww2
>before the last maquisards have even left the mountains, a new generation of radicals emerge from university campuses in late 1950s that havent even fought in the civil war and start clashing with police frequently, along with miners holding strikes
>late 1960s those same students start creating different anarchist and communist groups who carry out bombings, bank roberries and kill police officers
>ETA emerges spontaniously and carries out literally thousands of attacks (im not even joking look it up)
>groups in exile do the same thing attacking embassies and a yacht gets sucesfully hijacked and extorted for freedom for political prisoners
>riots, bombings and general violence force the state to imprison and execute people, causing the international community to shun Spain and pull out embassies and investments
>ETA kills Blanco and leaves Franco without a heir
>even the fucking catholic church turns their back on Franco
>Franco ACK!-s and overnight all the former republican parties and movements reconstitute politically and lead Spain to democracy
This all happened even though Spain was literally Fascist the whole time and liberally used arrests,executions, torture, and states of eception. Hell they even did human experiments trying to find a way to genetically prevent people from becoming leftists. How did other "Authoritarian" governments, whether Left or Right in Europe at the time manage to root out militant opposition within years of taking power and the Spanish resistance continue from the first to last day of the dictatoeship, even though they were ultimatelly not a major threat to the government, it is impressive to me how consistently radical it remained for the duration of the regime.

Three years after October 7th this very difficult question needs to be asked:

Materially speaking, what can the American left — or any country’s left — do to actually “support” Palestine?

I’ve been an activist for Palestine solidarity since 2008. I’ve seen this movement change drastically during this time. Basically, 18 years ago you could support a two-state solution on the ‘67 border just fine without scrutiny. Now, post-Gaza genocide, you’re considered a “Zio” or “normalizer” if you support anything other than a full-blown Algeria scenario whereby every single Israeli Jew is deported or forced to flee. But let’s be honest: even if this is what we wanted, the American (or overall western) left has no ability to make this happen. It’s as stupid as claiming you’re a sellout unless you support a gigantic communist uprising happening tomorrow. Given that what we mentally support means nothing unless we can do material support, what’s the fucking point?

Oh but it’s a MORAL LITMUS TEST! — so fucking what? Even if we wanted to weed out the “immoral” people from our movement we still have no ability to carry out the results we want to see.

So where does that leave us? What should the left be doing for Palestine that it already hasn’t been doing for the past 20 years? We’ve done mass protests, boycotts, pressuring politicians, attempting to blockade weapons shipments, etc. Some people like Elias Rodriguez even used political violence. And guess what? Nothing happened in terms of the Palestinians winning. Israel’s reputation is in the shitter, but why hasn’t that translated into a Palestinian victory? How much longer do we have to wait for Israel to collapse, and if that happens on what basis would an “Algeria” scenario emerge?

Maybe I’m wrong but I really want to know what it actually means to “support Palestine” now.

Why do Israeli Jews hate Poland so much? (real long answers please, no derailing)

Not only Israeli Jews, I noticed Zionists living in a lot of countries antagonizing Poland and Poles as well. Just because Poland talks about being victimized by Nazi Germany, Ukrainian UPA, Russian Soviets, Zionists always seem to want to suppress this knowledge, even about the existence of KL Warschau (which existed in my opinion). Jews want us not to have great positions in this society, they would degrade us into criminal status, using DARVO technique as well. What motivates them to be extremely hostile against Poland like that? I'm even leftist, I believe in women's rights and they hate me for being Polish. I wonder why. How is Gaza, I'm asking right now? Why aren't those people given any chance? So many questions at once. I have an impression that antipolonism is even promoted on social media and Tucker Carlson blamed us for the WWII as well. I think Putin is a Zionist pig as well and Russia is controlled by Israelis. Same with Ukraine, but they are more Nazi. Any explanation why does it happen to Poland? We are bombarded with Polish jokes as well and Polish sense of humor is interpret as a legit threat by Israeli-controlled Westerners. Our country is being a scapegoat and Westerners are told "you will end up like Poland if you won't be democratiĉ". Westies ofc are "allies" to us, my ass. Some of you wish upon us war against Russia, too.
Those folks are actually every single reason why I hate the West as a Pole and I don't want to have anything in common with it. I'm risking being called a Russian onuca with this attitude. But I prefer my own happiness than being constantly guilt-tripped by the Western powers for the crimes we the Polish people have never committed. I used to be philosemitic, because I was taught like that at school, forced to this or else I would face the consequences of "lawlessness", now I think that they don't like us.
During PRL at least there wasn't that craziness for Zionist America like now.

>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

But without supplies, “not even the most capable factory can complete the cycle.” The government also struggles to obtain packaging such as blister packs and bottles and says U.S. financial sanctions complicate payments for imports. Cuban authorities say shipments of medical supplies have also been stranded in third countries because shipping companies fear U.S. penalties for calling at Cuban ports.

Hello I have the potential to become a supervisor at a mail company and want to become one for the benefits, less body strain, and more potential growth in my career.

Owning guns shouldn’t be a issue yet it is.

Look i love guns as much as the next person but sometimes i feel like we’re pointing in the direction of either major reform or outright banning them. And theres no way to cure a mental health crisis or poverty not without money some people arent willing to pay owning guns should be a right people retain till the end of time but its hard to think about it feeling like sometimes your in the wrong

"Magical thinking" is the number 1 problem in the world

When using material analysis the contradictions of capital become obvious. Anyone who is grounded in reality can understand the problem. The unfortunate part however is that very few people are actually living in reality. The vast majority have "magical thinking", this commonly manifests in religious delusions but it can take on many other forms.
Examples would be unproven conspiracy theories (eg flat earth), counter-productive diet advice (eg raw milk), or even believing common myths.
I think all humans have a tendency towards irrationality and in order to avoid magical thinking you must have self-awareness. The kind of self-awareness that makes you constantly question yourself and your beliefs and seek out counter-arguments out of your own volition. This is the most important part.

Every single bad idea that sticks around despite being disproved relies on this thought process to become immortal. I'll use a creationist as an example. Here's the sample thought process.
>The bible is true
>Evolution must be false
>"ChatGPT give me arguments against evolution"
This hypothetical person starts off with a conclusion and researches backwards in order to justify it. When you're using this lens to form an argument you will never find the truth no matter how much evidence you are shown.

This is basically just a drawn out way of saying the average person is insanely stupid. How do we re-educate the masses?

Picking the reactionary mind

Is it worth it to understand how the right-wing thinks?

I get that we aren’t supposed to debate fascists, we’re supposed to shoot them. Yet there’s always that curiosity concerning how and why right-wingers believe what they believe. I know the standard answer is that they’re all a bunch of straight rich white men looking to preserve their institutional power, but there has to be more to it than that. Not all super-rich white guys are overt reactionaries, and there’s a lot of working-class people who are reactionaries. Shouldn’t it make sense, then, to read what they’re actually saying so we can better understand them and their formula?

Freezing sperm

I had to wake up today at 6:00 AM and got ready to get to the clinic, pretty nice but i felt forced to look like i didn't got there from the ghetto…

got to sign some documents, they took my ID and i paid for the tests, a while in i got called for getting my blood drawn, the usual at this point; they got 2 tubes of blood and had me in for some questions regarding my medical background, after that i was taken to the "sample room" which was basically like a sink, a chair and a TV.

so i did some hand washing and such and i had downloaded a bunch of stuff in my phone yesterday, the whole time feeling like i'd just burst and ruin the 3-5 days abstinence recommended.

but i had already washed my hands and i don't think washing my phone be viable + i'd have to hold my phone as well as the sample cup and everything?

so i just used the TV with the USB which was kinda slow so i just kinda did a faproulette with it and actually seeing the sample size i got scared it'd be too small but it was just about 0.2ml short according to the doctors; besides that the sample was very good and i'll be able to freeze from 2 to 4 vials with a doctor's recommendation and go back on estrogen hopefully by next month.

overall everything is going fine which is scary because whenever things are going fine i get this feeling of calm before the storm.

IT’S OVER for Zohran

I’m done with this fraud.

Mamdani was elected specifically to fight against the Zionist Lobby and yet he’s show MULTIPLE TIMES he’s a full-blown Zio himself. He sells out to Jewish feelings over Palestinian resistance every time he can. He quotes the satanic Talmud which calls for Jews to enslave and oppress “goyim” in order to appease Zionists. Then he has the NYPD arrest hundreds of anti-Zionist protesters. Now he attends a “memorial” lead by an “Israeli” hasbara group to memorialize 1200 Zionist settlers killed during the greatest act of anti-colonial resistance in modern history. If Ziohran was truly principled he would have unequivocally stated that “Israelis” have no right to life given that every single one serves in the army and that Hamas and the PFLP have a right to resist.

Fuck this man.

the future of politics isnt left vs right, but bio conservative vs post humanism. This is especially going to play out if AI and tech dont turn out to be duds.

You can already see the seeds of these movements blossoming between people who are anti AI, pro human, and people who are pro tech and accelerationist slap fighting on various social media

And I watched it when I was a kid and even then I HATED it, I had a friend who also watched DBZ and he hated it too, even we who were just two little dumbass kids could recognize how shit this cartoon was. And dont get me started on Super.
Naruto is just as bad if not worse, they somehow contradict their own message every god damn time, and have a little privileged retarded kid as the main character who was born with le epic god powers, and never works a day in his life to achieve anything, its all just handed to him

Voting

There are large protests in my country surrounding the affordability of housing, elections draw near and this got me thinking on who should I vote.

>PSOE: center-left dinousaurs, their attitude towards any problem is to hide and pretend it doesn't exist, that is both their biggest strength and weakness.

>Sumar: lib leftists, not radical by any means but they're more of the "go fast and break stuff type", on one hand they defend things that benefit me such as welfare programs for the disabled (which I am considered part of), on the other hand they defend social causes that go against my interests, such as euthanasia.

I'm using what shrinks call "profit-and-loss thinking" (because shrinks love to patholigise everything). I do not care about any progressive causes, or causes of any kind, I perceive anything that is not my material self-interest to be a "spook" as you like to say, I have been greatly abused by "oppresed" individuals and left-wing ideologues for me to give a shit about either, the opposite of love is indifference (not hatred) and the best revenge is to live well.

I'm in the following situation:
>minimum wage
>cisgender male
>disabled (sperg)
>assets in the 10000s of euros.

>inb4 don't vote
