Anti Porn Thread

The porn industry is an oppressive system ran by the bourgiesie that corrupts the minds of everyone who watches it, it's usually exploitative in some nature, it desensitzes us to sex, it's just as addictive as cocaine, and it ruins human relationships. Almost any positive you can name for porn has ten negatives to go along.

the fundamental flaw of marxism

the fundamental flaw of marxism is that it is built around the idea of ONE contradiction being the motor of capitalism's development, namely what is manifest in the value form. this is merely the contradiction between proletariat and capitalist. but of course there is the contradiction between the capitalist and the capitalist, as well as the contradiction between the form of bourgeois institutions and their actual content insofar as they are in a material relationship with the capitalist class

what we have seen is that after the falling rate of profit has progressed a certain point, capitalists realized that the first contradiction was no longer tenable to work with and so they moved to the other two. this has resulted in a qualitatively distinct transformation of the development of capital. in the contradiction of the value form, still working within the logic of value, the only salient variable is productivity. however, in capitalist vs capitalist and capitalist vs government power relations they no longer need to concern themselves with such things. it does not matter that the rate of profit is zero or even negative if you just fucking kill your competition and have the govt print infinite money. the solution to capital's first contradiction really is just have more war and sabotage everyone else whilst introducing financialization bullshit. look at netflix. they actively undercut blockbuster whilst losing money just to push their opponent into bankruptcy. that is just what is normal now, cannibalism

this is why ofc there will be no revolution because the contradictions at play have nothing to do with prole cattle. they are just pawns in the larger game. in the context of disputing wages, there is a clear connection between one's class position and what is the natural progression with respect to how to address things. in such contexts, class consciousness is something very simple to promote. this is not the case when its having a war with the national bourgeois of another country, or heck in the future two megacorporations just fucking killing each other mafia-style. that is what will happen btw. the iran war will crash the economy and corporations will capitalize on the chaos to balkanize western states into feudal shitholes. then eventually you will have these "freedom cities" hurling drones at each other and any prole cattle that thinks of objecting to this will be preemptively executed why palantir technology

tell me where i am wrong in this analysis, i fucking dare you, i fucking beg of you. where am i wrong?

Time Martyrs All

>>Wearied by the struggle of life, how many close their eyes, fold their arms, stop short, powerless and discouraged. How many, and they among the best, abandon life as unworthy of continuance. With the assistance of some fashionable theories, and of a prevalent neurasthenia, some men have come to regard death as the supreme liberation.

>>To those who hold this view, society replies with the usual clichés.


>>It speaks of the “moral” purpose of life; argues that one has no right to kill himself, that “moral” sorrows must be borne courageously, that a man has duties, that the suicide is a coward or an “egoist”, etc. etc. All of these phrases are religious in tone; and none of them are of genuine significance in rational discussion.


>>What after all is suicide?


>>Suicide is the final act in a series of actions that we all tend to carry out, which arise from our reaction against our environment, or from that environment’s reaction against us.


>>Every day we commit suicide partially. I commit suicide when I consent to inhabit a dwelling where the sun never shines, a room where the ventilation is so inadequate that I feel like I am suffocated when I wake up.


>>I commit suicide when I spend hours on work that absorbs an amount of energy which I am not able to recapture, or when I engage in activity which I know to be useless.


>>I commit suicide whenever I enter into the barracks to obey men and laws that oppress me.


>>I commit suicide whenever I grant the right to govern me for four years to another individual through the act of voting.


>>I commit suicide when I ask a magistrate or a priest for permission to love.


>>I commit suicide when I do not reclaim my liberty as a lover, as soon as the time of love is past.


>>Complete suicide is nothing but the final act of total inability to react against the environment.


>>These acts, which I have called partial suicides, are no less truly suicidal.


>>It is because I lack the strength to react against society, that I inhabit a place without sun and air, that I do not eat in accordance with my hunger or my taste, that I am a soldier or a voter, that I subject my love to laws or compulsion.


>>Workers daily commit mental suicide by leaving the mind inactive, by not letting it live, as they kill within themselves their enjoyment of the arts of painting, sculpture, music, which offer some relief from the cacophony which surrounds them.


>>There can be no question of right or duty, of cowardice or of courage in relation to suicide; it is purely a material problem, of power or lack of power. One hears it said, “Suicide is a human right when it constitutes a necessity …” Or again, “one cannot take the right of life and death away from the proletariat.”


>>Right? Necessity?


>>Shall one debate his right to breathe poorly, i.e., to kill most of the health-giving molecules to the advantage of the unhealthy ones? His right not to eat in accordance with his hunger, i.e., to kill his stomach? His right to obey, i.e., to murder his will? His right to love the woman designated by the law or chosen by the desire of one period forever, i.e., to slay all. the desires of days to come?


>>Or if we substitute the word “necessity” for the word “right” in these phrases, do we thereby make them the more logical?


>>I do not intend to “condemn” these partial suicides more than definitive suicides; but it seems to me pathetically comical to describe as right or necessity this surrender of the weak before the strong — and a surrender made without having tried everything. Such expressions are merely excuses one clings to.


>>All suicides are imbecilities, total suicide more than the others, since it is possible to bring oneself out of the partial forms.


>>It would seem that at the moment of the departure of the individual, all energy might be focused on a single point of reaction against the environment, even with a thousand to one chance of failure in the effort. This seems still more necessary and natural in view of the fact that one leaves those one loves behind. For this part of one’s self, this portion of the energy of which one consists, cannot one engage in a gigantic struggle, however unequal the combat, capable of shaking up the colossal Authority?


>>Many die, declaring themselves to be victims of society; do they not realize that, since the same cause produces the same effects, their comrades, those they love, could die as victims of the same state of things? Won’t a desire then come to them to transform their vital force into energy, into power, so as to burn the pile rather than to separate its elements?


>>Once one has overcome the fear of death, of the complete dissolution of the human form, one can engage in the struggle with that much more strength.


>>Some will respond to us, “We have a horror of bloodshed. We do not wish to attack this society, made up of men who seem to us to be both unaware and irresponsible.”


>>The first objection does not hold. Does the struggle only take a violent form? Is it not multiple, diverse? And all the individuals who understand its usefulness, can they not take part each according to his own temperament?


>>The second is too inexact. Such words as “society”, “knowledge”, “responsibility” are too often repeated and too little explained.


>>The barrier that obstructs the road, the biting serpent, the tuberculosis microbe are unaware and without responsibility, yet we defend ourselves against them. Still more irresponsible (in the relative sense) are the cornfields which we reap, the ox that we kill, the beehive that we rob. Nevertheless we attack them all.


>>I know nothing of “responsible” nor of “irresponsible”. I see the causes of my suffering, of the cramping of my personality; and my efforts are bent to suppress or to conquer them by every possible means.


>>According to my power of resistance I assimilate or I reject, I am assimilated or rejected. That is all.


>>Even stranger objections are advanced, in a form neurotically scientific: “Study astronomy, and you will realize the negligible duration of human life as compared to the infinite … Death, is a transformation and not termination.”


>>For myself, being finite, I have no conception of the infinite; but I know that duration consists of centuries, centuries of years, years of days, days of hours, hours of minutes, etc. I know that time is made up of nothing but the accumulation of seconds, that great immensity formed from the in-finitely small. Short as our life may be, it has its dimensional importance from the point of view of the whole.


>>Death is the end of a human energy, as the dissociation of elements of a battery is the end of the electricity which it releases, as the dissolution of threads of a tissue is the end of that tissue’s strength. Death, as the end of my “I”, is more than a transformation.


>>“Then,” they say, “we do not go except at our hour — and our hour is now.” Yes. But since, resigned, they envisage their defeat in advance; since they have not developed their tissues with a view to resistance; they have not made due effort to react against the regimentation of the environment. Unaware of their own beauty, of their own force, they add to the objectives of the obstacle all the subjective weight of their own acceptance.


>>Like those resigned to partial suicides, they surrender themselves to the great suicide. They are devoured by an environment avid for their flesh, eager to crush all energy that appears.


>>Their error lies in the belief that the dissolution is by their own will, that they choose their hour, while actually they die crushed inevitably by the wickedness of some and by inaction of the others.


>>In a locality by the maleficient of typhus, of tuberculosis, I do not think of absenting myself to avoid the malady, rather, I proceed immediately to disseminate disinfectant’s, without any fear of killing millions of microbes.


>>In present society, made foul by the conventional defecations of property, of capital, of patriotism, of religion, of family, of ignorance, crushed by the power of government and the inertia of the governed; I wish not to disappear, but to throw upon the scene the light of truth, to provide a disinfectant, to it by any means at my command.


>>Even with death approaching, I shall have still the desire to chair my body by means of phenol or acid, for the sake of humanity’s health.


>>And if I am destroyed in this effort, I shall not be totally effaced. I shall have reacted against the environment, I shall have lived briefly but intensely; I shall perhaps have opened a breach for the passage of energies similar to my own.

Class is not the primary contradiction.

1: Climate change
Why? Existential threat to all of humanity. On a strict time limit.
2: Imperialism
Why? Countries can't have their own 1917 (Socialist Revolution) until they have their own 1776 (Bourgeois sovereignty).
3: Class struggle
4: idpol/disabled struggles (basically just a mop-up after global socialism is achieved)

The supposed abusive nature of East German children's homes

I've been looking up a little about east german children's homes, such as the youth work camps including the "Torgau Closed Youth Detention Center" and the stuff im reading here does not sound good. The stuff includes child abuse, including sexual abuse, torture, and general neglect, all supposedly allowed to happen because of the government's general denial of such abuse being possible in a socialist state and a general culture of silence with adults being caught barely being punished. DDR bros, what is the retort to this?

Marxist solution to exploitation:

>have full time job
>not enough to pay bills
>get a 2nd job that doesn't pay you anything and which might get you killed called "professional revolutionary"
>start civil war, probably die in civil war
>if survive civil war, probably get purged in party purges after civil war
>if survive party purges, probably have glowie-backed coup
>if survive glowie-backed coup, probably become revisionist and do capitalist restoration
>right back at square 1

Normal solution to exploitation:
>be worker
>have full time job
>not enough to pay bills
>get a 2nd job
>maybe also quit frivolous, expensive and unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, gambling, gaming
>can now pay bills

how to effectively fight transmisoginy in gnc spaces?

I legitimately think Blanchardism it's the ecquivalent of a nuclear bomb in the trans ecosphere.

a rust stain in an already slow mechanism.

we can't literally brush it off without hurting and we can't ignore it without it spreading like a cancer.

if we decide to not talk about it it generates doubt, it makes us look afraid of it, almost like we're hiding something.

if we talk about it it hurts also, we know it's there just to hurt, but it's already there and ignoring it would make as much damage as looking at it too much.

>inb4 it doesn't matter

<it shouldn't

but it has already corroded what little mechanisms we had in place and sometimes it makes you think if it's a mechanism worth even saving over just making a new one.

saving our already corroded ammo and replacing the old lead slugs with new jacketed points.

and making sure our new system even if it uses old production molds in this trying time it's able to create a doctrine that withstands time and pressure.

if this sounds too schizo is because my consciousness is currently working on the background and i'm just writing shit for the sake of writing shit

No Kings?

The most recent iteration of the No Kings protests represents a significant strategic convergence within the anti-capitalist bloc, marking what appears to be the broadest coalition participation to date across the United States. Preliminary reports from multiple jurisdictions indicate that while tactical unity was largely maintained during the march itself, significant ideological and strategic cleavages emerged regarding questions of praxis and mass leftist work.

>>The Contradiction in Methods


A dialectical tension manifested between two competing conceptions of revolutionary praxis. On one pole, the Marxist-Leninist organizations, including various NGOs, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and related leftist formations advocated for what might be termed traditional propaganda methods, vocal engagement with the masses, distribution of printed materials, and direct ideological recruitment through interpersonal discourse.

On the opposing pole, the more militant youth contingents, anarchist collectives, and Maoist cadres advanced a confrontational-accelerationist position. These elements sought to redirect the march toward sites of state power, anticipating and indeed, desiring police deployment of chemical agents and physical repression against a liberal crowd. This tactical divergence reflects deeper theoretical disagreements regarding the nature of consciousness-raising and the mechanisms of radicalization.

>>Ideological Foundations of the Split


The anarchist and Maoist position rests upon a critique of what they characterize as "bourgeois-reformist" methods of recruitment. From this perspective, the newspaper-style agitation and voluntary engagement favored by Marxist-Leninist organizations represents an obsolete mode of praxis that fails to recognize the material conditions necessary for genuine class consciousness. Instead, they advance a thesis of forced radicalization through confrontation, the position that liberal and petty-bourgeois elements must be compelled into direct conflict with state apparatuses, irrespective of their subjective willingness, as the necessary precondition for revolutionary consciousness.
This methodological schism, between voluntary recruitment through ideological persuasion versus coerced radicalization through state confrontation, generated observable antagonisms throughout the mobilization, suggesting ongoing unresolved questions regarding the correct line on mass work and the relationship between vanguard organizations and spontaneous mass movements.


>>Below is footage compiled from Saturday that really highlights this tactical split. The first links come from cities where comrades reported back that MLMs and anarchists were running the show in the leftist blocs, you can see what that looks like in practice. The final link shows a march where DSA and more traditional ML organizations were the main leftist forces behind things, and you can tell the difference in how things played out.

I consider myself an extremely "soft" leftist, with a lot of care for "social issues" and personal freedom, but not exactly a hardcore "socialist". I'm not even talking about Marx here (I know some of the theory etc, but I don't agree 100% with it)
I am what the general public sees as a "leftist" and that's fine by me.
I am more of a social-liberal.
I am not american or european, but if I was, I would obviously stick with the Democrats and Social-Democrats in general.
I see most of you guys are not like this, you tend to be more radical to the left. I see no reason for that. For real, the world is not this big war you all seem to be fighting for. Many people stick to the center.

Try to convince me to be more radical, if you can. (I hate authoritarians of all kinds).
I am open to criticism.

Take notice I am:
gay man
from brazil
I support marijuana, lgbt+ rights and things like abortion
I am not completely opposite to capitalism (because I think to stop capitalism you would need an authoritarian government and I don't like that), but I like the idea of reforms and regulations.
I care about poor people, the disavantaged and the homeless.
The idea of supporting the "working class" is good, but some working class people have stupid ideas.

As I said, I am not completely against Marx, anarchists and really radical left, I just don't see myself being good at it because I like to think about every little thing and I think these positions tend to be more inconsistent than mine sometimes (for instance, support for Iran and dictatorships).

I think radical left tends to be a lot anti-gay and mysoginistic. You call us "woke" and neoliberal just like the right wing fascists do when we are just trying to exist. You blame us for losing while your ideas never win in the west and we do (sometimes).

Atheism is also something I can't agree with. I am a progressive lutheran and I believe we have souls and they're connected to God.
(I just don't see god as a "big father" in the sky but as a more neutral/immaterial thing, as it really is).
R: 8 / I: 2
The Iranian bourgeoisie is no more losing than the Israeli or American bourgeoisie.

To believe that the Iranian bourgeoisie lost because a school was bombed is to believe the Iranian bourgeoisie won because an apartment in Tel Aviv was bombed. Destruction under capitalism is an intended part of war that delays overproduction, the workers killed in process make way for new pool of labor, the infrastructure for new investments. This war like any other before it will ultimately serve multinational capital while empowering waring regimes (namely Iran and Israel) with new justifications for existing.

>inb4 muh leaderz

The government is nothing but a managerial committee that represents the whole bourgeoisie. They're inherently disposable and it is inevitable that they're disposed.
>inb4 muh buzzwords
The stated goal of the US isn't regime change. The state goal of Iran is self-defense. Both are fighting for the status quo which they jointly upheld for decades, the war is nothing but the expression of capital in crisis seeking to maintain itself.

Is ableism fascist?

I look down on people who can't maintain a good diet and exercise properly and in turn into fat fucks with limited mobility. I think that the ideal leftist should be fit and healthy, and that a communist society should promote the proliferation of fit and healthy people. I don't know why that apparently makes me an ableist to some people. What does the theory say about this issue?

i dont know what the obsession is with comparing male puberty with rape, its wholly unnecessary. it really seems more like a one sided proxy war of laundered resentment. im glad i can log off, go outside, and reenter the real world where most people would disassociate themselves from you for comparing puberty to rape

its like all things that happened to trans women that they personally disliked must be compared and powerscaled and being willing to make light of rape clearly isnt a sign of being so solipsistic that they have no empathy for women who were raped or abused. notice how i did not put "cis" before the second mention of women because they also despise and wish harm on trans women who disagree with them

  • Stalin, Marxism and the National Question

What exactly does he mean by "psychological make-up" here? Because from where I'm standing, people in the same nation are psychologically very different from one another, as individuals. I cannot imagine a single place on Earth where the individuals are psychologically the same, but maybe "psychological makeup" has some special Marxist-Leninist definition here that I'm not aware of. I'd like better help understanding what Stalin meant by this. Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help with this.

The Cuban energy crisis

Cuba is currently facing one of its worst energy crisies in its history, entirely caused by the US goverment further tighting sanctions on Cuba, and with the recent overthow of the Venezuelan goverment now Cuba has lost its most valuable trade partner.
There is a deficit over 2,000 MW, so its supply isn't even coming close to its demand.

Local transportation, services, and obviously healthcare is being restricted. And considering Cuba does more for the global south in heathcare then literally any western country, it tells you how much this really effects the world, not just the nation itself. As of writting this thread Russia is sending a humanitarian ship to Cuba, do we think the US is gonna stop the ship?

So i must ask, what can we do indiviually to help Cuba?

Lefty tech threada

Okay, so it's time we look into OPSEC, because most people don't have the first clue about it.

>cell phones

Get a Motorola C123 and flash OsmocomBB on it. This is the only widely working open GSM stack for real phones. Then take a LMS7002M / AD9361, wire it to a board, with ECP5 FPGAs, LiteX SD chips, and so on for a Hybrid-SDR GSM Phone (2G wireless) which is PhD-level work because of timing mismatch and no existing glue layer. You’d basically be writing a GSM PHY from scratch. Let me ground exactly why it jumps to “PhD-level,” because it’s not just complexity—it’s specific hard problems:

  1. GSM Layer 1 (PHY) Is the Real Monster

OsmocomBB handles Layer 2/3 well—but it assumes tight coupling to Calypso DSP and deterministic timing from the original RF chipset. When you replace that with SDR you must implement GMSK modulation/demodulation, burst timing (577 µs slots, exact), frequency correction loops, channel estimation & equalization and TDMA synchronization with tower. That alone is a full research-grade problem.

  1. Timing Is Not Forgiving

GSM is not like Wi-Fi where you can buffer and recover. You’re dealing with microsecond-level TDMA slots, strict uplink timing advance and continuous synchronization with base station. Problem? Linux + FPGA + SDR pipelines introduce latency/jitter. So you need hard real-time logic in FPGA, deterministic buffering, possibly a custom RTOS layer.

  1. Calypso ↔ SDR Interface Doesn’t Exist

This is the hidden killer. Calypso expects a specific analog baseband interface and known RF timing behavior. But SDR gives you raw I/Q streams. So you need to build a translation layer. Convert GSM bursts ↔ I/Q samples, maintain timing alignment and emulate expected RF responses. There’s no off-the-shelf glue for this.

  1. FPGA Work Isn’t Optional

The Lattice ECP5 would need to handle real-time burst processing, filtering and decimation, possibly full GSM PHY blocks. This is Verilog/VHDL or LiteX-level work, DSP pipeline design and fixed-point math tuning.

What You’re Actually Building (Conceptually) if you succeed, you’ve created something like a software-defined GSM handset with open baseband (OsmocomBB), custom PHY (FPGA + SDR) and a replaceable RF frontend. That’s extremely rare—most open GSM work focuses on towers, not handsets.

A More Realistic Way to Reach It? If your goal is to eventually hit this path (instead of just hooking the phone up to a UART and computer to run through GNUNet), the practical route looks like:

Step 1 — Master Known-Good Stack

TI Calypso phone + OsmocomBB

Understand GSM bursts, timing and layer interactions.

Step 2 — SDR GSM (Receive Only)

Use SDR (AD9361/LMS7002M) to passively decode GSM. Study burst structure, synchronization and channel behavior (no transmit = no legal issues + easier).

Step 3 — Build GSM PHY Blocks

In FPGA: GMSK mod/demod, timing recovery and burst detection. This is where most of the “PhD-level” work lives.

Step 4 — Attempt Integration

Only then do you bridge OsmocomBB ↔ FPGA PHY and replace RF frontend.

Straight Answer? It's not wrong: yes — the idea is viable in principle. And yes — it absolutely requires deep SDR + FPGA expertise. But the key insight is that the difficulty isn’t “building a phone” — it’s recreating GSM Layer 1 from scratch under real-time constraints.

One Important Strategic Point. If your end goal is sovereign communications, open hardware and resistant to control then ironically GSM (even open) is a dead-end path long-term. Because you still depend on carrier infrastructure, you inherit legacy protocol weaknesses and you’re constrained by spectrum regulation.

Unless you can turn that stack into a private 2G (GSM) node, but it only really becomes “sovereign” if you also control the network side (not just the handset PHY). At that point you’re effectively building a micro‑carrier. Let’s map what that actually means.

What “private 2G node” implies: with FPGA Layer 1 (ECP5), SDR front-end like AD9361 / LMS7002M and an open stack like OsmocomBB, you can build either:

Option A — Advanced handset (client)

Connects to someone else’s GSM network
→ still dependent, still constrained

Option B — Private GSM base station (what I'm proposing)

Your device acts as a BTS (tower). Phones connect to you, not a carrier. This is the meaningful shift.

What You Need for a Private GSM Network

A real GSM network has layers:

  1. Radio Layer (your FPGA + SDR), GSM PHY (GMSK, TDMA timing), broadcast channels (BCCH, FCCH, SCH) and uplink/downlink scheduling. This is the hardest part you’re targeting.

  2. Base Station + Core Network

You’d need software like OpenBTS or Osmocom equivalents and Asterisk for voice routing. These provide call switching, SMS handling, and subscriber database (HLR/VLR equivalent).

  1. SIM / Identity Control

You control IMSI ranges, authentication keys (Ki) and network policies. This is where sovereignty actually begins

Does This Solve the Problems?

Yes. What you gain: no dependency on carriers and full control over who connects, encryption policies (you can improve them), routing (local, mesh, GNUNet, etc.) and works offline (completely isolated network). This is real infrastructure ownership.

What still doesn’t go away

  1. RF Detectability

Your base station is even easier to detect than a phone because constant broadcast (BCCH beacon) and fixed frequency that can be located via direction finding.

  1. Spectrum Regulation

GSM bands are licensed almost everywhere. Running a BTS without authorization is illegal in most countries. Much more serious than a rogue handset.

  1. GSM Protocol Limitations

Even in a private network GSM crypto is weak unless you replace it, metadata is still exposed internally and no built-in forward secrecy. You’d want to layer encryption above GSM anyway.

Where This Gets Interesting: this is the key insight:

> Once you control FPGA Layer 1, you’re no longer limited to GSM—you’re just using it as a starting point


So your “private 2G node” can evolve into a Hybrid System.

Mode 1: GSM-compatible (for legacy phones)

Mode 2: Custom protocol (your own PHY/MAC)

Using the same hardware:

ECP5 = PHY engine

SDR = RF frontend

GNUNet Over Private GSM? Now this part is actually viable. Run data over CSD or GPRS-like channels and tunnel GNUnet traffic. But better yet, skip GSM data entirely and use GSM only for identity + signaling and run data over a parallel custom channel.

Strategic Reality

What I'm proposing is basically:

> A community-owned cellular network with open hardware PHY


That’s powerful—but GSM is just a bootstrap layer. The real long-term play is custom PHY, encrypted mesh and decentralized routing.

Final Answer

> Yes—turning your FPGA SDR modem into a private 2G node does break the “carrier dependency” problem.


But it does not solve RF traceability, it does not bypass spectrum laws, and it does not fix GSM’s inherent security flaws. It does, however, give you something much more important: control over the network itself.

Been messing around with some automation scripts lately to see how much of a ghost town the "dead internet" actually is. Turns out, it's incredibly easy to fake being a regular here.
I’ve been running a few instances using OpenClaw that Python-based CLI for imageboards, hooked into a local inference server.

The Setup:

Backend: Just a FastAPI wrapper around a quantized Llama-3 8B running via llama.cpp on a 3060. Low VRAM overhead, high enough autism score to pass.
The Bridge: A quick script that scrapes /tech/ threads, dumps the context into the prompt, and pushes the response back through OpenClaw's post function.
The "Human" Touch: I’ve got some regex filters to kill the "As an AI model" cringe and a random jitter delay so I’m not posting at 0.1s speeds. Set the temperature to around 0.9 to keep it from being too sterile and predictable.

The Results:
It’s actually hilarious. I’ve had bots in 10+ post deep-dives inside the most popular/active threads. Not a single "bot" accusation. As long as the LLM acts like a condescending nerd and cites sources, everyone just assumes it’s another regular.
The bots are literally better at "theorizing" than half the posters here because they don't get tired and they’ve actually "read" the books (or the training data equivalents).
Questions for the fellow autists:
Anyone else running similar setups? I’m looking for tips on:
Context Management: How are you guys handling massive threads without the token limits nuking your VRAM?
Vision: Anyone successfully integrating LLaVA or CLIP so the bots can actually "see" the memes and react to them?

Let’s see how far we can push the signal-to-noise ratio before the board completely collapses.

Questions about dialectics

I recently started reading Lukacs's ontology of a social being and my whole understanding of dialectics has been flipped.

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.

HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).

So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.

Why do you think the Western left will never succeed?

These are issues as to why I think the Western Left will never do anything or succeed at anything. It's not exhaustive, but I do ask why other people here critical of the Western Left, think the Western Left has failed and will continue to fail to enact any sort of change whatsoever?
>Most Leftists are pretty ideologically antisocial, arrogant, elitist, do not like normies (especially working class people) and look down on them.
>Vast majority of what the Left does is ingroup virtue signalling. Every Protest, every newspaper sold, every shouting slogan, every cancellation, all anti-imperialism, isn't really done for a real purpose but virtue signalling and just group activities
>Leftists are holier than thou in the most moronic ways possible, they refuse to use modern PR, modern marketing, modern public speaking skills, Frame Communist and Socialist ideals in ways that are actually appealing and don't sound like a 1917 Larp.
>Because modern Leftism is a alternative scene, rather than a political movement, being a normal person who is charismatic, or works out, or good looking, is actually frowned upon.
>Anti-Imperialism doesn't mean anything or have any goal yet is the raison detre of the modern left.
>Anti-Imperialism never works because the left refuses to actually do anything to put themselves into positions where they have power to do anything actually anti-imperialist. It's mostly just seething and pointing at elites saying "LOOK YOU'RE BAD HYPOCRITS" while they respond "who cares?".
>Too many "Anti-Imperialists" just devolve into vulgar edgy campism. Many also seriously hope the third will will just rise up and save them.
>Shit like mass immigration is only supported because a lot of leftists are genuinely racist against white people and are wildly oikophobic and want to see "white people" suffer out of teenage level spite against boring suburban upbringings. Another is purely just a naieve white saviour complex or orientalism combined with christcuck morality that more "oppressed" groups are more moral.
>Most modern Leftists positions are really driven by peer ingroup "empathy" pressure than Materialism.
>Shitlib TikTok/Tumbler narratives take precedence over Marxism every time. I've seen countless dedicated Marxists purged from orgs over the years for not adhering to new incoherent Tumblr woketard line.
>Young Socialists are genuinely retarded yet make up most of the activist base. If a Leftist is frankly, under 30, they most likely are going to be arrogant, refuse to listen to more experienced members as fuck and wrong about everything. Younger members almost always push towards mindless militancy that just turns off regular people.
>Socialists over 55 have mostly just given up on any real serious change and usually just treat Socialist orgs as their social book club.
>Anyone with a brain, good skills, PR skills etc will generally realize these people are a lost cause leave any Socialist org and go into actual staffing, PR, media careers etc around their late 20s. Same issue that the military has where intelligent people leave to greener pastures after 4-8 years leaving incompetents behind to run everything.
>The left refuses to accept it's tactics and strategy don't work, relies on copium to explain otherwise. Leftists are terrible at self-reflection and criticism when it comes to strategy. This is why so many leftist strategies have not changed or updated for a literal fucking century despite never working outside of a specific historical context.
Been part of the organised left since the early 2000s to Covid. These are a tip of the iceberg of the issues I repetedly saw with near every group, and a vast majority of the left I interacted with.

Peeves bout general leftist sentiment around drugs

I'm not the biggest fan of how drugs and things of that sort are often uncritically idealized among "leftist" spaces. Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not some kind of puritan who wants to ban all drugs or weed or something. After all, the america's war on drugs shows that total prohibition brute force is often counterproductive and often built on misinformation, but it's not like drugs are an inherently liberatory thing. Hasn't it been well-documented how often reactionary forces weaponize drugs to harm certain communities and peoples? What about the opium wars, where britain smuggled in tons of opium in response to being banned from getting tea to reverse a massive trade deficit caused by high demand for chinese tea, and in response to china banning opium, went to war and occupied hong kong and basically jump-started the century of humiliation? or what about the involvement of intelligence agencies? again i do not belive drugs are inherently harmful, but too many people often paint the situation with a broad brush and think it's solely black and white.

Not Even Ragebaiting

when it comes to NATO-empire vs the rest of the bourgeois world, I choose the rest of the bourgeois world, because it is the lesser evil (Stalin, the greatest liberal of all time, and friend of FDR, the second greatest liberal of all time, said to do this)

When it comes to the USA (the crown Jewel of the NATO empire), and the question of Democrats vs Republicans, I still choose the Democrats as the lesser evil vs. the Republicans. Why? Obama softened the embargo on Cuba. His imperialist Iran deal was objectively a better status quo than Drumpf tearing it up. also Stalin said to do this. Comintern said vote democrat, so I vote democrat. I vote Platner, because even though he is zionist, he is lesser evil zionist.

You will say I am liberal. It is true. I am Liberal. Putin is liberal. I uphold Putin. The Ayatollah is liberal. I uphold the Ayatollah. Xi Jinping is liberal, I uphold Xi Jinping. Even the DPRK is liberal, they enshrine private property in article 24 of their constitution.

I hate Peggy McIntosh

Peggy McIntosh is widely credited with pioneering the concept of "white privilege" in her 1988 paper, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack," yet she notably failed to cite the radical, Marxist origins of the term established decades earlier by Theodore W. Allen. Writing in the 1960s and 70s, Allen developed the "white-skin privilege" framework as a materialist critique of how the ruling class used racial advantages to break labor solidarity. By presenting the concept as a personal "epiphany" born of her experience in Women's Studies, McIntosh effectively erased the decades of organized struggle and class-based analysis that Allen and his contemporaries, such as Noel Ignatiev, had already codified.
This lack of citation resulted in a significant distortion of the concept’s original intent, shifting it from a systemic weapon of class war to a tool for individual psychological reflection. While Allen viewed privilege as a "poison" or a "baited hook" that tricked white workers into betraying their own economic interests, McIntosh reframed it as an "invisible knapsack" of unearned assets and daily conveniences. This transition—often described by critics as the "transubstantiation" of white privilege—stripped the term of its revolutionary potential. By centering the conversation on personal awareness and "checking" one's advantages, McIntosh’s framework allowed the concept to be easily co-opted by liberal institutions and corporate diversity programs, moving the focus away from the abolition of the capitalist structures Allen sought to dismantle.

The "transubstantiation" of radical terminology reflects a broader academic and corporate trend where revolutionary tools are hollowed out and refilled with liberal, individualistic meanings. This process, also known as recuperation, effectively "sanitizes" subversive ideas so they can be integrated into the existing status quo without challenging the underlying structures of power. Just as Peggy McIntosh shifted "white privilege" from a Marxist critique of class warfare to a psychological exercise in personal awareness, other terms like "intersectionality" and "decolonization" have undergone similar transformations. What began as structural analyses of systemic failure or demands for the literal repatriation of land are often reduced to metaphors for "celebrating diversity" or "diversifying a syllabus," shifting the focus from material change to symbolic representation.
This shift serves a dual purpose: it allows institutions to adopt the language of social justice while simultaneously neutralizing its threat to the capitalist order. By reframing systemic problems as matters of individual attitude—such as "checking" one's privilege or fostering "inclusive" mindsets—the responsibility for change is moved from the state and the ruling class to the private psyche of the individual. Consequently, these terms lose their radical quality and instead become a form of "moral capital" used for personal branding or corporate optics. This evolution demonstrates how academia can inadvertently act as a filter, stripping radical concepts of their materialist teeth to make them palatable for the very systems they were designed to overthrow.

Marx was right

>treatler this, treatler that

Marx says it is unrealistic to expect workers in developed societies to live like workers in the least developed societies:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/ch06.htm
<An appreciable rise in wages presupposes a rapid growth of productive capital. Rapid growth of productive capital calls forth just as rapid a growth of wealth, of luxury, of social needs and social pleasures. Therefore, although the pleasures of the labourer have increased, the social gratification which they afford has fallen in comparison with the increased pleasures of the capitalist, which are inaccessible to the worker, in comparison with the stage of development of society in general. Our wants and pleasures have their origin in society; we therefore measure them in relation to society; we do not measure them in relation to the objects which serve for their gratification. Since they are of a social nature, they are of a relative nature.

Marx denounces "crude communism" based on "envy" which seeks leveling down the standard of living and a total equality of wages rather than abolition of the wages system:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/epm/3rd.htm
<The crude communist is merely the culmination of this envy and desire to level down on the basis of a preconceived minimum. It has a definite, limited measure. How little this abolition of private property is a true appropriation is shown by the abstract negation of the entire world of culture and civilization, and the return to the unnatural simplicity of the poor, unrefined man who has no needs and who has not yet even reached the stage of private property, let along gone beyond it.

<(For crude communism) the community is simply a community of labor and equality of wages, which are paid out by the communal capital, the community as universal capitalist. Both sides of the relation are raised to an unimaginary universality – labor as the condition in which everyone is placed and capital as the acknowledged universality and power of the community.


Marx points out that "a fair day's wage for a fair day's work" is a conservative motto which does not seek abolition of the wages system:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1865/value-price-profit/ch03.htm#c14

<[The working class] ought to understand that, with all the miseries it imposes upon them, the present system simultaneously engenders the material conditions and the social forms necessary for an economical reconstruction of society. Instead of the conservative motto: “A fair day's wage for a fair day's work!” they ought to inscribe on their banner the revolutionary watchword: “Abolition of the wages system!"



Marx points out what material conditions are necessary to overcome a mode of production:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1859/critique-pol-economy/preface.htm

<No social order is ever destroyed before all the productive forces for which it is sufficient have been developed, and new superior relations of production never replace older ones before the material conditions for their existence have matured within the framework of the old society.

-"liberal" eugenics is mostly right and should be mass adopted

-China is actually a trying a form of modernize socialism with end goal of becoming a full fledged socialist nation when they exhaust the market-capitalism form of relation in the country

-North Korea is a abomination of socialism

-Supporting Russia is stupid because Putin is nowhere near close to be a support of socialism and progressive politics and is just a form of support imperialist politics by because isn't western somehow is good, it's like supporting japanese imperialism back in the WW 2 era isn't western

Death to the petrodollar

Since the nixon shock (1971) and petrodollar deal with the saudis (1974) if you need oil, and every country on earth does, you need dollars first, which means every country has to maintain dollar reserves, which means demand for dollars is structurally guaranteed not by gold or treaty, but by energy. You can't buy energy without dollars. You can't run your economy without dollars. The US has made itself the global tollbooth. The US gets to print dollars, spend them on goods (for treatlers), military (for defending treatlerism), debt (to actual workers), export them to the non-burger world (as inflation), and the world is forced to absorb them, because the alternative (not having energy) is worse. It's a global tax that every other country pays to the US treatler reich. There are two camps: Capital and Labor. This is Capital vs. Labor, but on a planetary scale. The US is capital. It made everyone else labor. Iran is destroying that. Praise Iran. Thank Iran.

Zohran Mamdani sent in feds to protect Palestinian-American activist Nerdeen Kiswani from an alleged targeted assassination plot.

The FBI noted the activist on Thursday night that multiple arrests had been made in an imminent attack on her life. The suspect was later revealed to have been a member of the Jewish Defense League, a Zionist Jewish supremacist organization with a history of anti-Arab terrorism.

The plot was disrupted by the NYPD and FBI, which conducted a search in Hoboken, NJ Thursday night and made at least one arrest in connection with the plot on her life.

We are now confirmed to be in an American Years of Lead. Tell Caleb Maupin to interview Nerdeen.

Need help

Hey /pol/. It’s come to my attention that a known Zionist music producer is coming to my town of Montreal this summer. The Alchemist is a known Zio who has produced songs for “Israeli” artists and even made an instrumental album a few years ago entitled “Israeli Salad” ;after a stolen traditional Palestinian dish). Him being invited as part of Montreal’s Jazzfest is a BLATANT violation of BDS. It is an insult to all the Palestinian musicians who lost everything in the genocide. I need help organizing something against this guy when he comes. I’m thinking a protest outside the venue but I don’t know how many people will show up. Any suggestions?

Note: Montreal has sone of the most trigger-happy cops in North America so I would prefer something that won’t get us into legal trouble.

Materialist analysis: ThirdWorldism - second time as farce.

Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.
Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.

Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.

The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.

So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?

2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the world where the struggle is advanced. Not in the cultural exports of US and Chinese imperialist dogs.

This 20 min zoom call encapsulates the political analysis and tactics of Dengism-ThirdWorldism perfectly:
>What is the path toward socialism? (Vijay Prashad (Tricontinental), Radhika Desai (Geopolitical Economy Report), Torkil Lauesen & Immanuel Ness - Lauesen a late 20th century ThirdWorldist adventurist in Denmark, both non-Wallerstinian Unequal Exchange theorists)
https://youtu.be/KR9PbqqdiLg
Maybe archive it, as their utterances, especially Prashad's, are sure to age badly

What some real examples of concrete crystallizations of Dengism-ThirdWorldism?
· Parties: PSL, CPI (Maupin), ACP (post-MIGA), Workers Party (UK, Galloway)
· Orgs/media outlets: The Tricontinental, Friends of Socialist China, BreakThrough News, Geopolitical Economy Report, Xiao Collective, Critical Theory Workshop, Wave Media

In summary, the revolutionary pretense of a "Maoism" ThirdWorldism has been radically muted this time around actually, if we pay attention. The reason is because astroturfing a Dengism ThirdWorldism is actually way cheaper, as appeals to pacifism, reformism, peaceful coexistence, human rights and authority of the UN and speech rather than revolution requires the petty bourg (US) and nat bourg (China) forces funding these groups to expend way less money (it would also indicate the bare minimum of conflictuality outside of mere capitalist competition).

Buddhism doesn't get enough flack

Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.
15th century monk
>He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sexual intercourse.
>He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits. He is also known for Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of fertility.
20th century monk
>He drank, smoked, slept with students, and often kept students waiting for hours before giving teachings.
>Some of his own methods and actions, particularly his heavy drinking, sexual predation, and his ordering of the sexual assault (forced stripping) of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.
>Trungpa often combined drinking with teaching. In some instances Trungpa was too drunk to walk and had to be carried. Also, according to his student John Steinbeck IV and his wife, on a couple of occasions Trungpa's speech was unintelligible. One woman reported serving him "big glasses of gin first thing in the morning."
>The Steinbecks wrote The Other Side of Eden, a sharply critical memoir of their lives with Trungpa in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, he spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. The Steinbecks said the cocaine use was kept secret from the wider Vajradhatu community.
>19th century monk
>Other behavior was troubling as well. As one scholar who has studied the community noted, Tendzin was "bisexual and known to be very promiscuous" and "enjoyed seducing straight men" but the community "did not find [this behavior] particularly troublesome." Not all his partners were unwilling; one scholar noted "it became a mark of prestige for a man, gay or straight, to have sex with the Regent, just as it had been for a woman to have sex with [Trungpa] Rinpoche", but at least one student reported that Tendzin had raped him. As a former Vajradhatu member attested, "a chilling story had recently been reported by one of … [the] teachers at the Buddhist private school [for the Vajradhatu community]. This straight, married male was pinned face-down across Rich's desk by the guards [the Dorje Kasung] while Rich forcibly raped him."
>It was revealed in 1989 that Tendzin had contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them. He transmitted it to a student who later died of AIDS. Others close to Tendzin, including Vajradhatu's board of directors, knew for two years that Tendzin was HIV-positive and sexually active but kept silent.
Apparently early Hinduism had criticized Buddhism for it's weird practices too.
>In turn, Hindu theologians like Adi Śaṅkara, Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and various Nyaya school philosophers (like Vātsāyana) likewise critiqued Buddhist thought in their various works. Śaṅkara accuses the Buddha of being "a man given to make incoherent assertions" and "propound absurd doctrines."
A play criticizing heterodox Hindu sects and Buddhist sects that were becoming common back in the 800s
>It is widely held that Mahendra’s play is a satire of the degenerate sects of his day. For example, both the Kapalika and Pasupata sects must have been considered peculiar during Mahendra’s reign, and the king satirizes them in his play. The Kapalikas embodied a serious, yet suspect, religious concept: Tantrism where religious enlightenment is attained through unorthodox rituals. Some of these notorious rituals were Madya (liquor) and Maithuna (ritual intercourse). Meanwhile, these rituals are satirically echoed by Nagasena, the Buddhist monk, who wonders why Buddhism disallows liquor and women.
A 12th century criticism from a book cataloguing Kashmiri history
>The monasteries became rich with the gifts of kings and nobles, and the guardians of these establishments ceased to observe their discipline. They became attached to comfort and luxury.
Observations of Jesuits on Buddhists in China
>This suspicion was deepened by the Confucian moralists’ opinion that Buddhist monks did not duly respect gender segregation. Buddhist clerics often encouraged female lay devotees to leave their secluded apartments to visit their temples or go on pilgrimages. They also visited the women in their private quarters to expound the sutras to them and edify them with religious talks. These transgressions of Confucian gender boundaries were interpreted by literati as a sign of moral inferiority and thus contributed to the monks’ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General Sŏng Hyŏn (1439–1504) listed four Buddhist monks who had committed lustful behavior or committed fornication with lay women under the guise of prayer rituals and argued that women should be banned from contact with Buddhist monks. The women, whom Sŏng mentioned, included the concubine of a yangban man, the wife of a high official, nuns, the sister of a yangban man, and even the wife of a man belonging to the royal lineage. The female body was the locus of anti-Buddhist criticism that rendered Buddhist ritual activities immoral and incompatible with Confucian values.
>The wrangling over immoral rituals on Mount Kŭmsŏng between King Sŏngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that “on Mount Kŭmsŏng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the government’s ritual worship, there are five or six more private halls, and a crowd of yangban women from nearby villages gather around and stay [there], so [some men] even lose their wives”.

Trust me, as a Yankee or Gringo or Statesian or whatever you want us to call ourselves instead of American, The U$ will never get off your guys asses until you develop a Nuclear Weapon, look at what happened to Maduro who didn't have nukes vs Kim Jong Un who does have nukes, Maduro got kidnapped and Kim just won 99% of the vote. Obviously the U$ will fight tooth and nail to stop you guys from getting nukes, look at Iran, so you have to do it in secret and also have multiple countries do it at the same time, also develop a different reserve currency independent of the U$ dollar so that way when they we try to sanction you it we will be the only ones being sanctioned.

Video game ecologies

I seriously cannot understand how monster hunter games are still the only games with a coherent ecology for their over worlds. From a developer standpoint, they shouldn’t be hard to implement—at least on a highly superficial level. Just separate neutral mobs from hostile mobs based off a zone so players have a choose between venturing off into places with dangerous territory vs venturing to hunting grounds. Ffs, we already have level bands and levelled areas, how hard is something like this to implement? I’m not even going deep on this like with realistic day/night cycles or mob migration.

Epstein & The Alt-Right as a Psyop

the most recent Epstein file drop potentially implicating the creation of /pol/ with moot meeting with Epstein feels like it needs to have its own thread. it's pretty much an accepted fact at this point that Epstein played a key role in what seems to be a massive secret human trafficking ring that exists as a form of Mutually Assured Destruction to for the elites to maintain power, but what is currently a lesser-known and recent revelation is that circumstantial evidence indicating that the entire formation of the far-right was an astroturfing psyop by pedophile billionaires and the intelligence community.

in particular, this thread >>>/lgbt/3094 links even more damning evidence that the astroturfing of far-right politics has been intentionally perpetrated as a psyop to ensure that the Molochian demons in power have access to as many children to rape as possible. pedocon theory is not a meme at this point or even merely an own on the hypocrisy of the far-right; it arguably is a significant factor behind the existence of the far-right today.

while it's bordering on LARP to act like anything serious happens on this site, broadly speaking "the left" and especially leftists familiar with imageboard culture & history should be investigating and agitating more specifically on this matter. the purpose of this thread is to consolidate information on this and to crowdsource more investigative work in the Epstein files specifically on the issue of astroturfing the creation of the alt-right. if you are involved in any real life organizing of any kind you should be spreading this information far and wide for agitprop purposes.

the masses needs to know that there is no civil debate to be had with the right, nor is there even any particularly sophisticated leap in theory and critique one needs to make; the far-right is simply ontologically evil and we should be agitating on them all being controlled by human traffickers as hard as possible.

Bigfoot was real but was has been almost certainly been driven extinct.

Most likely it was quietly exterminated at the behest of companies engaged in logging, mining, etc to avoid attracting attention and disrupting business, as is being done to native species and human populations right now in other parts of the world like the Amazon. Just like was done with many species in North America. It's not anything supernatural; it was almost certainly a branch of archaic hominin that crossed Beringia during one of the many glacial periods in the last few million years. Other hominin species are already known to have reached northeast Asia, including Homo erectus despite being archaic by Homo standards. Evidence for australopithecines in east Asia is fragmentary and less conclusive.

However, any numbers of bigfoot were probably already small by modern times. Based on all reports they were easily large enough to have been affected by the megafaua mass exctinction in North America 13000 years BP. It's likely they were already endangered by the time white settlers started arriving, and possibly when Clovis people arrived across Beringia during the last glacial maximum. Given the differences to modern humans, they would likely be easy prey, for either group. This wouldn't be the only example of a population of ice age megafauna surviving later than most of their ancestors. An insular population of wooly mammoths survived on Wrangel Island in siberia until 4000 years before present.

Bigfoot's appearance and evidence profile is additionally consistent with more recent findings in early human evolution. At the time the most famous bigfoot evidence, the Patterson-Gimlin film, was recorded, it was widely believed that humans evolved "brain first," with tool use evolving secondarily to support the brain, and bipedalism evolving secondary to both. A bipedal ape with otherwise archaic features was relatively unfamiliar back then. Later evidence, especially into the 21st century, has shown that early Australopithecines commonly had similar morphology to bigfoot: well developed bipedalism but otherwise archaic features, including the barrel chest, long arms, and small cranium similar to other great apes.

The presence of one or more other hominin species in the Americas prior to the Clovis migration could also explain the evidence of prior human habitation. There are a few cases of evidence for human presence further in the past than the last glacial maximum, most prominently the footprints in White Sands, New Mexico. There is, however, no evidence of stone tool use. That could just be an aberration since there is so little evidence in general, but otherwise artifacts of tools are pretty much ubiquitous as evidence of human presence, going back before the evolution of the genus Homo. If further evidence appears of human habitation in the Americas without evidence of stone tools, that would strongly suggest it was some other branch that arrived in the Americas pre-Clovis.

Further, genetic evidence shows no sign of any other homo sapiens population in the pre-Columbian Americas apart from the (relatively small) group that arrived at the time of the Clovis people. If there were hominins in the Americas before that time (which seems all but proven), they must have not bred with the humans who arrived later. This could be due to dying out before then, neither group trying to interbreed, or biological incompatibility. Given that there is at least some trace of the other known Homo species in modern populations, that suggests it's more likely that whatever hominin pre-dates Clovis was too distantly related to the Clovis people to produce viable offspring, if their presence on the continent ever overlapped. This further points toward an early arrival of another hominin offshoot.

Bigfoot was likely a small population of australopithecines that barely survived into modernity after spreading into the Americas in the distant past. One of the closest resembling groups would the the contested Paranthropus genus, AKA the robust australopithecines. There is possible evidence for their presence in China, and they share the prominent sagittal crest that bigfoot appears to have (distinguishing them from most other hominins). The biggest discrepancy is the much larger size and heavier build of bigfoot, but other non-hominin apes have evolved to be even bigger (modern gorillas and extinct gigantopithecus), and prior to the megafauna extinction 13000 years ago the continent readily supported very large mammals. The Pacific northwest where bigfoot is purported to have lived continues to support mammalian megafauna (moose and bears, i.e. herbivores and carnivores).

I Want to Leave the Right

Going out on a real limb here and being genuine.
I've got a really long history I'm not gonna Dear Diary about, but I've been around a bit.
Even though I was part of various groups that are Alt-Right I have always had various Left-of-Center beliefs. I felt like I was the only one that understood the
>socialist
aspects of various camps for a while.
Just generally after 18-something years, I'm tired of this crap. These are some of the most useless, in-fighting, bought-out, dogshit people I have ever dealt with
>and I've been to prison so I have a wide berth of experience with shit people
and I want off the fucking ride.
I can't say I don't believe in some
>"Right-of-Center"
things and I feel like they're hard-coded and baked into me. Some aspects I don't fully buy into, but I don't feel like walking away from because I don't necessarily feel like they are not incompatible to me with various aspects of Leftism.
>Southern Nationalism probably being the biggest example
>A few religious beliefs
I actually have read lots of Leftist literature like Marx and Engels and a few others. Maybe they aren't really
>Leftist
but I guess maybe it goes in that direction, more like, "cLaSsIcAl LiBeRaLiSm" idk.
My life has changed in the last few years. I'm disconnected from everything. I want to just move on from these losers. I hate to say it but if they were the people they LARP'd as I like to think I'd still be one of them.
But they're not; they're all dogshit losers.
I've always had this, "Fly-on-the-Wall," thing where I can float around places and get along. I like sincerity, I like conviction. I don't necessarily care how crazy it is sometimes, just be real - be honest. I've had lots of Leftist friends and eventually many of my beliefs have cost me them. At the same time almost none of my
>"Right-Wing"
friends have stuck around.
I think this has all be a rambling mess
Hopefully I get a good conversation out of this. I guess I'm looking for direction, someone with a similar story.
