I learned nothing from Spanish class >:(
I am from the United Stated and I took a Spanish class for 5 YEARS in the entirety of my elementary school years and learned nothingโฆ That's not entirely true but we learned more about how to make papel picados than how to speak Spanish, The only thing I learned how to say in all of those 5 years is "Me gusta las frutas." And it was only because of this song they made us watch in 5th grade that has been stuck in my head for the rest of my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWn2fkJTdCs I did have the same teacher for all 5 of those years and she was pretty cool, She was from Spain, specifically Catalonia, but she moved to Portugal, then Mexico, then the United States so she could speak 4 languages which is more then I would ever be able to speak. The best thing though was that every year we would sell Bracelets to other kids in the school and out parents would gives us money to buy them, and all of the money would go to buying some poor family in the Andes a Llama, so that was pretty cool. I don't think is was bad that we spent so much time learning about Latin American and Iberian culture but I just wish we were taught the fucking language more because we only were taught Colors, Days, Numbers, and Body parts, most of which I forget. But the dumbest part though was the "Spanish name" thing where kids would adopt a new name, I have no Spanish heritage but I have a Latin derived name so my teacher just added an "-ino" at the end of it, I was a kid and I was stupid so I assumed that if I ever traveled to a Spanish speaking country I would have to use this name. I shared this story because I thought it was funny, but one question I have for you /latam/ is if English classes exist in your countries in vice versa?

I've been extremely disillusioned with the so-called "left". Communism is not an extracurricular activity for university students and the revolution will not be led by people sitting around talking about how much they agree with each other and validating each other on how much of a very smart boy they are. As a dirt poor communist who takes the ideology seriously, what the fuck do I do when this is what I'm given to work with? I'm thinking of starting my own movement but I have no idea how I'd organize on a budget of $0.00.

A quote that trascends time
>>"Prostitution is the outlet of too many bourgeois. One turns the son of the poor man into a slave and his daughter into a courtesan. The exploiter class asks for your sons to degrade them, Your daughters to rape them, you and your wives to exploit you. Watch out Parisians. Long Live Anarchy! Long live the commune!"Albert Libertad, 1898

The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries. The notion that modes of production always (rather than merely sometimes) transform through deliberate revolution is ahistorical projection of the bourgeois revolutions forward in history. What history shows is that modes of production do exist and do change, but whether they change through revolution, reform, or in a totally unplanned way over a long period of time, is up to local material conditions.
The uncertain nature of transitions between modes of production
Transitions between modes of production are of an uncertain nature. They are not always brought about by revolution, reform, or planning, but sometimes by a combination of all 3, or by blind historical forces operating over several centuries.The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries.

Conspiracy theories are so interesting. I love hearing about them, especially if it's weird stuff.
However I dislike how the term conspiracy theory is used to discredit people sometimes. Something that used to be called a conspiracy theory is that companies and government organizations collect as much data as possible about everyone.
I also believe that powerful groups have a lot of control over things like the other anons mentioned.
>Music played on the radio and as it's sold is played at 'dead' frequencies, and the melodies are simple and uninspiring. Buildings are becoming uglier, making for less spiritually enriching surroundings, and creating less pride in the nation. Our food and water has become more unnatural, and our devices are made to hook us and detach us from reality, from spiritual saturation. The media is deliberately uninspiring and creates a sense of doom and dishonesty, and division, and humans are being encouraged into engaging in hedonism to avoid forming long term relationships, and distracting from the spirit with the flesh. Which leaves you empty.

AI is labour. [Welcome to hell.]
>"As a leader, one of the things that you need to understand is you need to stop looking at generative AI and AI and AI agents and all these things as just technical things that you go and approach. You need to think of them fundamentally differently. And I think the model you need to think of is that AI is labor. You wanna think about AI as the future that you use to augment your workforce and to give your workforce additional capacity. Every person in your workforce is going to be using AI to give them additional labor to support them. They're gonna become leaders. Now, some people think, well, this AI stuff, it's only really isolated to certain specific roles."Dr. Jules White

The question of revolutionary organization in advanced capitalist societies presents distinct challenges that neither classical Marxism-Leninism nor anarchism adequately addresses. The centralized vanguard party, developed for conditions of Tsarist autocracy and semi-feudal social relations, encounters structural obstacles in contexts of relative working-class institutional integration, the labor aristocracy, sophisticated state surveillance, and racist ideological hegemony maintained through cultural production rather than direct repression. Simultaneously, anarchist models of loose affinity-based organization, while resistant to co-optation, demonstrate limited capacity for sustained mass engagement and territorial consolidation.
The distributed vanguard emerges from critical engagement with both traditions, seeking to preserve the Maoist insight that political power requires organized capacity while incorporating the truthful anarchist recognition that organizational form prefigures social content of revolution. It represents a strategic adaptation to what Poulantzas termed the "authoritarian statism" of late capitalism characterized by intensified surveillance, preventive counter-insurgency, and the fragmentation of working-class communities through suburbanization and precarious employment.
>>Core Theoretical Concepts
Polycentric Coordination: Drawing from Murray Bookchin's concept of libertarian municipalism and Mao's analysis of base areas, the distributed vanguard operates through multiple centers of initiative rather than direct hierarchical command. Each node possesses autonomous capacity for local organizing, resource generation, and tactical decision-making, with large scale political coordination achieved through federated structures and delegated mandates rather than top-down central direction.
The Mass Line as Epistemological Practice: The Maoist formulation "from the masses, to the masses" is understood not as democratic rhetoric but as materialist method. Revolutionary strategy derives from systematic investigation of concrete conditions, testing through practice, and refinement through collective analysis. The distributed vanguard aims to institutionalize this through structural pluralism: multiple nodes investigate parallel questions, with divergent findings synthesized through appropriate network coordination rather than authoritative resolution.
Prefigurative Infrastructure: Following anarchist emphasis on means-ends consistency, the distributed vanguard prioritizes the construction of alternative institutions via workers communes, community land trusts, mutual aid networks that simultaneously meet immediate needs, develop working class organizational skills, and demonstrate the viability of non-capitalist social relations in action. A hockey player does not get good at hockey, without playing it. A worker does not get good at communism, without living it. These constitute what Gramsci termed "counter-hegemonic" formations, creating material bases for sustained oppositional consciousness.
Security Culture as Organizational Principle: The anarchist practice of compartmentalization and need-to-know information distribution is generalized across the organizational structure, addressing the material reality of state surveillance and repressive capacity in advanced capitalist contexts.
>>The Political Wing: Interface with Institutional Politics
The distributed vanguard incorporates a revolutionary workers political wing of formal organizations contesting electoral and institutional space, distinct from but structurally linked to the broader network. This wing's function is not the parliamentary road to socialism, which historical experience has discredited, but rather:
Terrain mapping: Systematic analysis of social composition, geographic distribution of support, and institutional access points through electoral contestation.
Cadre development: Training in public speaking, organizational management, media engagement, and legal navigation under conditions of relative legitimacy
Protective legitimacy: Generation of legal and social protections for the broader network through visible, lawful political presence
Strategic patience: Maintenance of organizational morale and continuity through periods when direct action is tactically inadvisable
The relationship between political wing and network is connected by energy and motion but not command. The political wing does not command the network; the network does not manipulate the political wing as mere front. Coordination occurs through personnel overlap, shared political education centers, and strategic alignment developed through joint practice and regular federated assemblies.
>>The Black Panther Party: A Case Study in Centralized Vanguard Organization
The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (1966-1982) represents the most significant attempt at vanguard party organization in the United States during the late twentieth century. Founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California, the Panthers combined Maoist ideological orientation with community-organizing practice, creating a hybrid form that achieved substantial influence within African American communities and generated significant anxiety within state security apparatuses.
The Panthers' organizational structure followed classical Leninist principles: democratic centralism, hierarchical command, ideological unity enforced through disciplinary mechanisms, and resource concentration at the national center. Local chapters were subordinate to national headquarters; strategic direction flowed from the Central Committee; membership required acceptance of the party's Ten-Point Program and submission to organizational discipline.
This structure enabled remarkable growth and visibility. By 1969, the Panthers maintained chapters in major cities across the United States, with membership estimates ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 active participants and significantly larger circles of supporters. Their survival programs like Free Breakfast for Children, health clinics, ambulance services demonstrated the viability of community-controlled social provision and generated substantial goodwill in targeted communities.
The centralized model provided specific advantages in the Panthers' historical context:
Rapid Mobilization Capacity: Centralized command enabled coordinated national actions, the Sacramento capitol invasion (1967), the Free Huey campaign (1968), the Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention (1970) that generated significant media attention and recruitment appeal.
The requirement of ideological unity, however contested in practice, provided clear organizational identity and differentiated the Panthers from competing nationalist formations. The Maoist framework offered analytical tools for understanding racial oppression as structurally linked to capitalist exploitation.
Centralized fundraising and resource allocation enabled substantial investments in specific programs…most notably the Oakland headquarters and select survival programs that demonstrated organizational capacity and generated community support.
Centralized control of public messaging enabled effective utilization of contemporary media, including the party newspaper, which achieved significant circulation and provided coherent narrative framing for local activities.
The Panthers' centralized organization also created specific vulnerabilities that state counter-insurgency exploited systematically: Decapitation Vulnerability: The concentration of strategic knowledge and public visibility in a small leadership group of Newton, Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, David Hilliard created viable targets for selective neutralization. COINTELPRO operations focused intensively on these individuals through prosecution (Newton's imprisonment 1967-1970), exile (Cleaver's departure to Algeria 1969), and harassment (Seale's multiple prosecutions). The centralized structure meant that disabling the center disrupted coordination across the periphery.
Centralized organizations exhibit predictable communication patterns and decision-making venues. FBI informants could map organizational topology, identify individuals with comprehensive strategic knowledge, and report intentions with high accuracy with ease. The New York Three and Chicago Eight cases demonstrated how centralization enabled conspiracy charges linking local members to national leadership for actions they had not personally planned.
Survival programs required material resources concentrated at chapter headquarters and distributed through hierarchical channels. Police raids on Oakland headquarters (1968, 1971) and the assassination or imprisonment of chapter leaders disrupted resource flows, causing local program collapse. Distant chapters could not sustain autonomous operations without national support.
Centralized parties require the purest form of ideological unity for coordination, and lacks the ability to draw strength from reasonable differences. This is something the IRA dealt with, by not having an explicit political line beyond anti-colonial liberation. This is arguably important to colonized peoples under violence. The Newton-Cleaver split (1971) over questions of armed struggle versus community organizing, nationalism versus internationalism became an organizational crisis because the structure could not accommodate pluralism. Each faction sought control of the national apparatus; the losers faced expulsion or splintering, carrying away members and resources. This forced them to focus on internal issues, vs the outside world. The organization consumed itself in internal struggle because its structure required unity where diversity will always exist, especially so in mass recruitment campaigns.
The Panthers' public visibility and centralized command created contradictions between operational security and mass organizing. Underground military capacity eventually formalized as the Black Liberation Army, which remained organizationally integrated with the public party, exposing lawful activists to conspiracy liability and exposing operations to surveillance penetration.
Materialist analysis requires distinguishing between organizational form and objective conditions. The Panthers operated in a context of intensifying state repression, including COINTELPRO's systematic disruption, the criminalization of Black radicalism through the "War on Drugs" and mandatory sentencing, and the structural transformation of urban African American communities through deindustrialization and suburbanization. These conditions would have challenged any organizational form.
However, organizational form conditioned the manner of decline. Centralized structures amplify both success and failure; they achieve rapid growth but exhibit catastrophic fragility. The Panthers' decline was characterized by decapitation, infiltration, factional collapse, and resource exhaustion, patterns directly linked to structural vulnerabilities rather than merely to objective pressure.
Comparative analysis supports this assessment. The Puerto Rican independence movement, operating through more decentralized structures, maintained organizational continuity through comparable periods of repression. The American Indian Movement, EZLN, despite significant state violence, preserved capacity through localized base building rather than national coordination. The Panthers' specific trajectory reflects their specific organizational choices, not merely general conditions.
>>The Distributed Vanguard Alternative: A Counterfactual Analysis
The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (April 1968) and the subsequent urban uprisings, combined with the intensification of COINTELPRO adjacent operations following the Chicago Democratic Convention protests, created conditions favorable to organizational transformation. The Panthers' centralized leadership was already compromised: Newton imprisoned, Cleaver in hiding, Seale facing trial. The organization was surviving through local chapter initiative rather than national coordination.
A distributed vanguard reorganization would have formalized this emergent reality rather than reconstructing centralized command. Specifically Regional Federation Structure: Chapters would have been organized into regional federations (West Coast, Midwest, Northeast, South) with autonomous coordination capacity. The Oakland headquarters would have been reconstituted as a resource/education center and training institute, providing technical support and ideological education without command authority.
Survival programs would have been transformed into economically self-sustaining institutions, worker-owned food cooperatives, community-controlled health centers, mutual aid housing associations and squats, thus reducing dependency on national fundraising and creating material bases for long-term organizing.
The public political organization would have been formally separated from security-oriented activities, with the latter operating through cellular structure coordinated through regional federations rather than national command. This separation would have protected lawful activists from conspiracy liability while protecting clandestine capacity from systematic informant penetration.
The organization would have accommodated the Newton-Cleaver strategic divergence as regional variation rather than organizational crisis. Different regions could have emphasized community organizing versus armed propaganda marches according to local conditions, with results evaluated through shared practice rather than authoritative resolution into one singular approach. Diversity is a strength, when principles are not violated.
Under distributed structure, the Panthers' historical trajectory would have exhibited significant differences.
The imprisonment or exile of national figures would not have disrupted organizational coordination ability. Regional federations would have continued operations; local chapters would have maintained programs. Fred Hampton's assassination (December 1969) would have been a tragic loss for Illinois organizing but not simultaneously a blow to national strategy. The organization would have demonstrated the resilience that decentralized structures provide against selective targeting.
Cellular security structure would have limited informant access. Compartmentalization would have prevented comprehensive organizational mapping. The polycentric verification of major decisions being something requiring confirmation from multiple regional nodes would have made unilateral informant action difficult. COINTELPRO operations would have achieved local disruptions without organizational collapse.
The Newton-Cleaver split would have manifested as regional strategic variation rather than organizational schism. Cleaver's internationalist orientation might have developed in specific urban contexts; Newton's community-focused approach in others. Both would have contributed to organizational learning; neither would have required the other's expulsion. The organization would have preserved membership and resources that historical factionalism dissipated.
Transformation of survival programs into cooperative infrastructure would have generated material self-sufficiency reducing vulnerability to funding disruption. By the mid-1970s, regional federations might have maintained substantial economic capacity such as housing, food production, health services, thus supporting membership without total dependence on external fundraising. This autonomous capacity would have enabled survival through the resource crises that historically devastated the centralized party and traditional modern mutual aid programs.
The political wing, ideally operating through regional federations, could have contested local elections, developed municipal policy interventions, and maintained visible public pro black presence without the vulnerabilities of national coordination. Rather than the dramatic collapse of 1979-1982, the organization might have experienced gradual transformation, with some regions dissolving, others consolidating, but the overall network preserving capacity and experience.
The centralized Panthers survived approximately sixteen years (1966-1982), achieving substantial influence but ultimately destroyed by the specific vulnerabilities their structure created. A distributed vanguard organization method might have survived thirty or more years, maintaining presence through the Reagan era and into subsequent periods of social movement resurgence.
This survival would not have constituted revolutionary victory. Objective conditions in the United States during this period, relative white working-class prosperity, ideological hegemony of liberal capitalism, did not support insurrectionary transformation. The distributed vanguard does not promise revolution where objective conditions withhold it; it promises organizational survival and capacity preservation through periods when mass revolutionary action is impossible.
The measure of success is therefore not seizure of state power but maintenance of infrastructure of resistance: cadre development, community institution-building, oppositional consciousness, and technical capacity for collective action. The centralized Panthers achieved significant infrastructure development but could not preserve it; the distributed alternative might have achieved comparable development with greater durability and fluidity.
The Distributed Vanguard: Mass Movement Organizing and the Political Wing in Anarcho-Maoist Theory
>>The Problem of Vanguard Organization in Advanced CapitalismThe question of revolutionary organization in advanced capitalist societies presents distinct challenges that neither classical Marxism-Leninism nor anarchism adequately addresses. The centralized vanguard party, developed for conditions of Tsarist autocracy and semi-feudal social relations, encounters structural obstacles in contexts of relative working-class institutional integration, the labor aristocracy, sophisticated state surveillance, and racist ideological hegemony maintained through cultural production rather than direct repression. Simultaneously, anarchist models of loose affinity-based organization, while resistant to co-optation, demonstrate limited capacity for sustained mass engagement and territorial consolidation.
The distributed vanguard emerges from critical engagement with both traditions, seeking to preserve the Maoist insight that political power requires organized capacity while incorporating the truthful anarchist recognition that organizational form prefigures social content of revolution. It represents a strategic adaptation to what Poulantzas termed the "authoritarian statism" of late capitalism characterized by intensified surveillance, preventive counter-insurgency, and the fragmentation of working-class communities through suburbanization and precarious employment.
>>Core Theoretical Concepts
Polycentric Coordination: Drawing from Murray Bookchin's concept of libertarian municipalism and Mao's analysis of base areas, the distributed vanguard operates through multiple centers of initiative rather than direct hierarchical command. Each node possesses autonomous capacity for local organizing, resource generation, and tactical decision-making, with large scale political coordination achieved through federated structures and delegated mandates rather than top-down central direction.
The Mass Line as Epistemological Practice: The Maoist formulation "from the masses, to the masses" is understood not as democratic rhetoric but as materialist method. Revolutionary strategy derives from systematic investigation of concrete conditions, testing through practice, and refinement through collective analysis. The distributed vanguard aims to institutionalize this through structural pluralism: multiple nodes investigate parallel questions, with divergent findings synthesized through appropriate network coordination rather than authoritative resolution.
Prefigurative Infrastructure: Following anarchist emphasis on means-ends consistency, the distributed vanguard prioritizes the construction of alternative institutions via workers communes, community land trusts, mutual aid networks that simultaneously meet immediate needs, develop working class organizational skills, and demonstrate the viability of non-capitalist social relations in action. A hockey player does not get good at hockey, without playing it. A worker does not get good at communism, without living it. These constitute what Gramsci termed "counter-hegemonic" formations, creating material bases for sustained oppositional consciousness.
Security Culture as Organizational Principle: The anarchist practice of compartmentalization and need-to-know information distribution is generalized across the organizational structure, addressing the material reality of state surveillance and repressive capacity in advanced capitalist contexts.

The worst thing Chomsky did was go against his anarchist principles by being friends with a billionaire pervert. There is zero evidence he did anything criminal himself. No woman has come forward and said Chomsky did anything to her on Epstein Island. Chomsky gave Epstein advice on how to defend himself from the media because they were friends and Chomsky believed his friend (no matter how awful of a person he was) was innocent. Thatโs not a valid reason to cancel someone or Chuck out their lifetime of work.
Letโs be honest: a lot of the stuff said about Epstein is dubious at best. Thereโs no solid evidence he was a Mossad agent luring in high-ranking global elites in order to get blackmail material on them on behalf of Israel. Not only does this narrative completely ignore capitalism and class interest, but itโs not supported by much. For one thing, most of the girls Epstein was having sex with were over 18. Yes, sone were underage, but itโs most likely they lied about their ages the same way underage groupies in the 1970s lied about their ages in order to bang rock stars. I donโt deny Epstein was a disgusting sleazeball, but he wasnโt some three-headed Illuminati alien sacrificing babies to Satan. Thereโs also no evidence of Epstein ever being a pimp. None of the women he trafficked have said he was pumping them out to others. One woman, Virginia Giuffre, has made multiple claims that havenโt been substantiated yet the media takes as gospel truth. Some of the things said in the files are so outrageous itโs hard to believe them. Look at it with skeptical eyes.
But back to Chomsky: his work is now being thrown out by 99% of the left precisely because the left operates on a very rigid moralism. They will dogpile on anyone for every single little thing. Modern leftist spaces have no leaders and no real structure, so theyโre unable to resolve any internal conflict in any other way than mob justice. This is a huge problem that needs to be addressed and solved.
Is there a way to hold Chomsky accountable for being friends with Epstein without demanding comrades burn his books? There should be.

In 1551, Taqi al-Din, who is more often remembered for his astronomical and mechanical inventions, described a device that essentially functioned as a steam turbine.
His design involved a small boiler that produced steam, which was then directed through a nozzle onto the blades of a wheel. The force of the escaping steam caused the wheel to spin. This wheel was connected mechanically to a spit, allowing meat to rotate over a fire without human effort.
What makes Taqi al-Dinโs description remarkable is that it shows a practical understanding of converting thermal energy into rotational mechanical energy. While earlier inventors had experimented with steam for curiosity or simple toys, Taqi al-Dinโs turbine had a concrete application: automating a kitchen task. His work was part of a broader tradition of Ottoman engineering, which included astronomical clocks, observational instruments, and water-raising machines.

epstein cannibalism moloch worship
How actually likely are the rumors that epstein's network was engaging in cannibalism? I feel like I don't really know what to believe since a lot of what is being circulated is blatant misinformation. So are we just collectively in agreement that qanon was right? But I was under the impression that qanon was manufactured by epstein as well? so qanon was a psyop to help trump win the election but also it wasnt actually a conspiracy and the alt right was right about the elites the entire time… like what? It's also like the fucking baal and moloch shit, like any scholar who knows their shit will tell you these weren't real deities that anyone worshipped, and were mostly fabricated by christians based off of mistranslations, but apparently the elites worship them and now we all have to turn to christ… whatever

What the fuck even is the point of harem series? Aren't most of them just romance but with an even greater chance of blueballing you?
Yeah, it SEEMS like pure wish fulfillment, but it isn't even good at that because in most shows there's only relentless teasing instead of any actual romance and the MC only ends up with one of the candidates anyway.
The only explanation I can come up with is that it's just a way to increase the appeal (and thus commercial potential) of a standard romance series by cramming it with different archetypes. Either that or anime fans just love getting teased with no real guarantee of a reward, which would explain a lot, actually.
(Also) This thread is for all the harem anime, manga, light novels/virtual novels etc. Post your Favorite Anime, Favorite Scenes, What you like about them, memes, discussion, lewds and anything in between.

You ever notice how most modern manga/anime releases are isekai or LitRPG slop? That isnโt random, and it isnโt just โbad writing.โ It reflects who the audience is and what kind of society theyโre living in.
The core consumer base is overwhelmingly struggling, isolated Japanese men in their 20sโ30s (and increasingly older), often single, often overworked, often priced out of meaningful adulthood in one of the most expensive urban environments on earth. Many of them peaked socially in high school, before rent, career stagnation, and demographic collapse set in. Their main leisure activity is gaming โ especially Western medieval fantasy RPGs โ so the fantasy worlds they escape into are already familiar.
Thatโs why isekai looks the way it does. It isnโt about originality or artistic ambition; itโs about frictionless escapism. These stories let readers imagine themselves transported into a sanitized West European fantasy theme park where their accumulated gaming literacy suddenly becomes power, status, and sexual access. The protagonist canโt really fail, canโt meaningfully struggle, and canโt be morally challenged โ because that would defeat the point.
This is also why isekai protagonists are so aggressively generic: They arenโt โprotagonistsโ in the literary sense, as much as the voiceless and character-less player character typical of games like Pokemon Red. The less personality, the easier the self-insert. The less social embeddedness, the easier the exit from real life. These characters arenโt written as humans so much as interfaces.
Are there good isekai? Yes โ Digimon, Re:Zero, a handful of others โ but theyโre exceptions precisely because they violate the unspoken contract of the genre by insisting on consequence, trauma, or actual character development. Most isekai avoids humanity altogether, because humanity introduces risk.
A lot of people blame โshut-in authors with no life experience,โ but thatโs only half the story. The bigger issue is the ecosystem.
Most isekai originate on web novel platforms that reward speed, familiarity, and recognizability over craft. Editors donโt ask if something is good; they ask if it can be adapted quickly. Readers browse by tags, not prose. Anything that deviates too far from the formula dies before it can accumulate attention.
So you get a self-reinforcing loop:
economic stagnation โ exhaustion โ demand for escapism โ industry doubles down โ creative entropy.
This isnโt unique to Japan, but Japan hit this phase earlier and harder.
As for the obsession with the DnD-style or tolkienesque west European medieval fantasy setting typical of the genres, it isnโt just cultural cringe or โworship of the West.โ Maybe it is, but itโs actually safer than that.
Fantasy Europe, as used in isekai, is completely hollowed out โ no real history, no class struggle, no politics, no ethnicity, no obligations, no icky taboo topics. Itโs a neutral container. Japanese settings, by contrast, come with real social hierarchies, shame, memory, and responsibility that only Japanese society can intimately comprehend. Escapism works better when the world is empty enough not to push back. Think of it like how Mark Twain treats the England of the Arthurian Chronicles in his novel โA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtโ sans the satire and political bite.
This lineage runs straight from Dragon Quest and Zelda through D&D to Tolkien โ not Europe as it was, but Europe as an abstracted theme park.
To understand why escapism dominates, you have to understand post-1990s Japan: After the bubble burst, Japan entered decades of stagnation, rising costs, demographic collapse, and near-permanent one-party neoliberal rule. The employment system locked people into work early at the cost of adult freedom. There is no credible mass politics, no labor movement with teeth, no expectation that protest produces change, especially in a society where the work typically relegated to the secret police is outsourced to society at large, creating a social environment that disincentivises dissent in favor of conformism and self-censorship to avoid disrupting societal harmony.
So this isnโt young men โchoosing escapism over resistance.โ Itโs that there is no plausible route to collective agency. When exits are blocked, people fantasize about leaving the world entirely, whether itโs mass-producing escapist slop on an industrial scale or writing fanfic about a different country (looking at you, Chinaboos).
Earlier genres imagined resistance within decay (cyberpunk, mecha). Isekai imagines exit from decay.
The popularity of isekai is thus symptomatic of a country in stasis: a former imperial power that rose from the ashes of WW2 thanks to Uncle Samโs generous help, only to lose momentum after its economic peak and never found a new social project. Creative output stagnates not entirely because people are stupid or lazy, but because risk is punished and repetition is rewarded.
Think of it like this: In the 1980s, Japan began to experience real wage growth and industrial boom, hence why many of the anime that came out of that era were sci-fi mecha that had more optimism than the original NGE (Neon Genesis Evangelion). But later down the line, as Japan began to siphon itโs industrial profits into the real estate that was the lead up to the โlost decadeโ, you begin to see more โdeconstructionistโ or pessimistic takes on the mecha genre, starting with NGE which was soon followed by various copycats. I canโt omit that the depressive nature of NGE is perhaps influenced not just by the mental state of the staff at Gainax that was behind it, but also by the Tokyo subway sarin attack which occurred less than 9 months before the show was first aired on Japanese TV. The attack would profoundly affect Japanese society not just in terms of public safety discussions, but also in Japanese societyโs ability as a collective to shield its individuals from danger. that might explain the heavy focus on the individual and their interpersonal drama in NGE, Voices of a Distant Star, and other such works produced in the 1990s and early 2000s.
But, as time went on, these kind of works eventually led to burnout, and hereโs where the explosion of moe and (afterwards) magical school girl shows began in the early 2010s as the focus shifted from interpersonal drama to escapism that wasnโt necessarily isekai, but still provided an escape of sorts in the form of main cast forming an ersatz family and living through their shenanigans, or just cute and inoffensive stuff. But this also provided the breeding ground for the modern isekai genre that has overwhelmed the Japanese animation and comic industries as I elaborated in the previous paragraphs.
Now, where does this lead us? As the population continues to age, I suspect the genre will bifurcate:
โขeither toward slower, melancholic fantasy aimed at aging otaku (Frieren-style),
โขor toward increasingly internationalized, culturally flattened content designed to survive declining domestic markets.
Neither path guarantees artistic renewal.
In short, isekai isnโt just bad writing. Itโs a mirror. A mirror of a society that canโt imagine transformation and hence ends up mass-producing fantasies of painless escape โ until even that starts to wear thin. Canโt escape into another world to avoid paying your rents and taxes after all, eh.
This might age like milk. Or it might just describe a phase before something uglier or stranger replaces it. The future is unpredictable after all, so anything could happen in our volatile present.
Escapism is easy; Or why isekai and fantasy are now more prominent than ever
I once wrote a post speculating on the causes behind the rise of isekai and how the evolution of Japanese anime reflects societal changes in Japanese society beginning from its economic boom of the 1980s, but Iโm not sure if it holds up in 2025-2026. Since Iโm unfamiliar with otome-type isekai that is targeted to a female audience, I omitted it from my post. Anyway, hereโs the main text:You ever notice how most modern manga/anime releases are isekai or LitRPG slop?

The popularity of isekai is thus symptomatic of a country in stasis: a former imperial power that rose from the ashes of WW2 thanks to Uncle Samโs generous help, only to lose momentum after its economic peak and never found a new social project. Creative output stagnates not entirely because people are stupid or lazy, but because risk is punished and repetition is rewarded.
Think of it like this: In the 1980s, Japan began to experience real wage growth and industrial boom, hence why many of the anime that came out of that era were sci-fi mecha that had more optimism than the original NGE (Neon Genesis Evangelion). But later down the line, as Japan began to siphon itโs industrial profits into the real estate that was the lead up to the โlost decadeโ, you begin to see more โdeconstructionistโ or pessimistic takes on the mecha genre, starting with NGE which was soon followed by various copycats. I canโt omit that the depressive nature of NGE is perhaps influenced not just by the mental state of the staff at Gainax that was behind it, but also by the Tokyo subway sarin attack which occurred less than 9 months before the show was first aired on Japanese TV. The attack would profoundly affect Japanese society not just in terms of public safety discussions, but also in Japanese societyโs ability as a collective to shield its individuals from danger. that might explain the heavy focus on the individual and their interpersonal drama in NGE, Voices of a Distant Star, and other such works produced in the 1990s and early 2000s.
But, as time went on, these kind of works eventually led to burnout, and hereโs where the explosion of moe and (afterwards) magical school girl shows began in the early 2010s as the focus shifted from interpersonal drama to escapism that wasnโt necessarily isekai, but still provided an escape of sorts in the form of main cast forming an ersatz family and living through their shenanigans, or just cute and inoffensive stuff. But this also provided the breeding ground for the modern isekai genre that has overwhelmed the Japanese animation and comic industries as I elaborated in the previous paragraphs.
Now, where does this lead us? As the population continues to age, I suspect the genre will bifurcate:
โขeither toward slower, melancholic fantasy aimed at aging otaku (Frieren-style),
โขor toward increasingly internationalized, culturally flattened content designed to survive declining domestic markets.
Neither path guarantees artistic renewal.
In short, isekai isnโt just bad writing. Itโs a mirror. A mirror of a society that canโt imagine transformation and hence ends up mass-producing fantasies of painless escape โ until even that starts to wear thin. Canโt escape into another world to avoid paying your rents and taxes after all, eh.
This might age like milk. Or it might just describe a phase before something uglier or stranger replaces it. The future is unpredictable after all, so anything could happen in our volatile present.

Pioneer's edition
In spite of the seething of many supposedly 'leftist comrades', America's unipolar dominance is weakening every day and we move ever closer into a multipolar world. It is clear to any good faith communist that a multipolar world just means that: transitioning from American unipolarity to multipolarity, and that does not automatically mean the expansion and consolidation of socialism. The latter gains more opportunities in this new state of affairs, but nothing is given on a silver platter - communists still have to seize the day. If we make the mistake of thinking multipolarity is socialism, we might as well end up with a multiple poles of fascism and reaction. This is understood by communists, real ones, not agents of NATO clad in 'red aesthetics'. The latter strawman the 'multipolarity=communism' nonsense precisely to then dismantle it and thus ridicule and 'defeat' multipolaristas, doing the work of the NATO Moloch.

French left targeted by smear campaign following death of far-right activist
Antifascist groups and the left party France Unbowed (La France Insoumise, LFI) are being targeted by right-wing and conservative forces after a far-right activist died from injuries sustained during a clash on February 12 in Lyon. The incident occurred not far from a venue where LFI MEP Rima Hassan was due to appear. This information is now being manipulated by the partyโs political opponents and the mainstream media to suggest that LFI and groups which form its base promote violence.

Greece working with another 4 European countries to set up migrant deportation hubs outside EU
The use of return hubs would be for people whose asylum applications are rejected and whose countries of origin will not take them back, the minister explained. He said their existence would act as a deterrent to prospective migrants who are unlikely to be granted asylum. The minister said the aim was for an initial plan to be in place in the next few months, although it wasnโt clear when any such return centers could be up and running.

if you want a trans woman in your life to shut up, just mention every single trait of her body that's clocky and influenced by male puberty to her. hearing it from another person, and giving her confirmation that other people do indeed see it and the testosterone mutilation is indeed real, is bound to make her cry and want to go sulk in bed.it doesn't matter if she's a stealthing passoid, it doesn't matter if you exaggerate and don't even care about the trait you're pointing out. there's something innate about post-puberty transitioners's minds that just flips a switch and makes them horribly sad for hours whenever someone says these things to their face.

Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.
Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.
Threads that otherwise might go in here will eventually find themselves become merged to this thread.

Trump is Asexual-Biromantic
Think about it, it's true, he is uninterested in his wife, he has sex though but only as a power-thing, and he has been known to have sex with men too.

can Law of Assumption (the REAL law of attraction) be enough for it?

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Leninโs principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
However, as I have stated many times before a proper Dialectical Materialist analysis still reveals that a Controlled Opposition is better then No Opposition, and as we see on the International Stage that China is a โControlled Oppositionโ to U$ Imperialism in the same way that the U$ Democrats are โControlled Oppositionโ to the Republicans, thus making China the โGlobal Democratsโ, with the massive caveat that a Maoist faction taking over the CCP and purging the Dengists could place China back in the Socialist Mode of Production on the Shining Path to Communism without another Maoist PPW there, though despite this fact both China (Iran is another example of a Lesser Evil Controlled Opposition) and the U$ Democrats should be โCritically Supportedโ, not because we genuinely support these Bourgeois entities, but because they are both a โLesser Evilโ faction of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System who De Facto prevent the โGreater Evilโ of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System from completely crushing the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World before the World Maoist PPW can be successful when the Global Nuclear War breaks out, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
So with these Dialectical Materialist facts in consideration, what do my fellow Comrades think of this hypothetical โIdeal Winning 2028 Democratic Platformโ (this is making Three Bold assumptions, Firstly, that Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law and suspend all Elections, thus officially ending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy in the U$ and making him De Facto U$ President for Life, which is what I expect/fear will happen, Secondly, that a Centre-Left Social Democrat like AOC would ever be allowed by the Centrist Neoliberal/Neocon Democratic Establishment to win the Democratic Nomination, and Thirdly/Finally that the majority Ultra-Reactionary Racist/Sexist White Settler Labor Aristocrat/Petit Bourgeois U$ electorate will ever vote for Centre-Left Social Democrat, especially a Brown Chicano/Mestizo Woman like AOC) that is based on the principles of Social Democracy, Social Progressivism, and Non-Interventionism, with Pragmatic characteristics, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ค?
