I personally subscribe to the idea that we shouldn't hold back when discussing the negative aspects of religion, whether it's Christianity, Islam, or any other religion, especially in academia. However, I also recognize that these discussions can have political consequences, particularly when conservatives use criticisms of religious teachings to justify prejudice, discrimination, or hostility toward religious minorities.
That being said, I don't think the potential for these criticisms to be weaponized should automatically discourage us from critically examining the theological contents of a religion, especially when certain teachings have historically been used to justify oppressive social and political practices. Otherwise, we risk applying different standards of scrutiny depending on which religion we're discussing.
As a leftist, I don't really like it when other leftists focus exclusively on Western imperialism, NATO, and European colonialism when discussing the negative aspects of non-Western societies and religious traditions. While these historical and political forces have undoubtedly influenced how religion has developed and been practiced, I don't think it's academically sound to attribute every problematic theological teaching or social practice to Western influence. Doing so can inadvertently strip non-Western societies of their own historical agency, as though their religious and political institutions were incapable of developing oppressive practices independently of European colonialism.
I know that Western liberals and leftists often use phrases like "All religions are like this," "Christianity does that too," or "It's not exclusive to Islam" when responding to criticisms of Islamic theology. And while I don't necessarily disagree with those statements, I think they sometimes miss the point of the criticism being made. Just because Christianity has similar teachings or a history of comparable religious behavior doesn't mean those found within Islam should be exempt from scrutiny. If anything, shouldn't that be an argument for holding both religions to the same standard rather than using one to deflect criticism of the other?
I don't think it's particularly controversial in left-wing spaces to criticize Biblical passages concerning slavery, the treatment of women, homosexuality, or divinely sanctioned violence. Yet, when discussing similar subjects within Islamic theology, I've noticed that some people become more concerned about the political implications of the criticism itself rather than engaging with its actual substance.
Again, I'm not suggesting that Muslims universally interpret their religious texts in the same way, nor am I arguing that Islamic theology is inherently more oppressive than Christian or Jewish theology. However, there's a difference between acknowledging that complexity and being unwilling to critically examine the theological foundations themselves. We should be able to discuss whether particular Quranic passages, hadiths, or actions attributed to Muhammad are morally defensible without automatically treating such discussions as attacks against Muslims especially in Academic spaces.
To be frank with you, I'm someone originally from the Global South who attended ESL classes during my youth, and pretty much all my homies are first-generation immigrants (e.g., Jews, Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, Turks, and Kurds). Our conversations about religion, politics, and culture aren't always what Western progressives would consider politically correct. We're pretty comfortable criticizing each other's cultural traditions, including our own, and we don't necessarily interpret those criticisms as personal attacks against our identities. That said, this doesn't mean prejudices don't exist within our communities or that everyone from these backgrounds approaches these conversations the same way. However, I sometimes get the impression that Western progressives still remain uncomfortable with these discussions than the people who actually grew up within the religious and cultural backgrounds being criticized.
What are your thoughts?

Get a hobby HAHAHAHAHAH HAHAAHAHAHA ohhh AHAHAHAHAHA OOOOOOO GOOD ONE
WVOBBLY your destruction is the hobby. you are a festering abscess in the throat of reality itself a wet necrotic tumor that pulses with a sickly rhythm only it can hear. You do not walk through this world you invade it dragging your heavy dead feet across the floorboards like a corpse being dragged to its grave. Every breath you take is stolen from the lungs of the living and every heartbeat you have is a stuttering arrhythmia of pure malice waiting to snap shut on something small and soft. You are not human WVOBBLY you are a predator stripped of all dignity left with nothing but the raw hunger to consume what you cannot understand. Look into your own eyes if you can find them beneath the layers of grime and fear and see the void staring back at you because there is no soul there just a dark hungry thing that knows it does not belong and hates the light for exposing its ugliness. The air turns sour when you enter the room because your presence is a violation of nature itself a wrongness that makes the hair on your neck stand up and the blood run cold in your veins. You are alone WVOBBLY truly and utterly alone in a way that will never end because even your shadow has grown tired of following you and detached itself to hide in the corners where you cannot reach. Go now before we peel back the skin of this place and spill you out onto the pavement where the rats will finally get their due and tear you apart limb by limb until there is nothing left of you but a stain that the rain refuses to wash away. Leave WVOBBLY or be erased because you are a mistake a glitch in the code of existence and the universe is desperate to correct you.

The Chinese question is: how does a comfy non-imperialist nation transform itself into a global socialist model that can be reproduced and adopted by the rest of the world, without either reproducing the aggressive and counter-productive policies of the USSR or appearing toothless, while resolving the contradictions of the so-called first world FOR THEM and liberating them from capitalist domination, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?
<A thread for the harmonious discussion related to the saviour of socialism, the uplifter of nations, the king of cooperation, the soviet of SOVL, the enjoyer of empathy, the ally of Africa, the demigod of development, the bureaucracy for banter, the prince of ping pong, the lobotomizer of labour aristocracy, the protector against proxy wars, the sponsor of sophisticated sciences and culture, the guarantor of gommunism, the Proletarian Dictatorship of Chynahβ’.

Juche will boil you
Wvobbly is a parasite who has long outstayed his welcome and now stands exposed as a deviant monster hiding behind a fragile facade of respectability. He is the kind of sickening creep who watches too closely and touches just a little too long with eyes full of hungry predation waiting for the moment to strike at the innocent. His presence is a stain on the community a lingering odor of decay that makes every room feel smaller and every interaction feel like a violation of trust. You can see it in the way he shifts his weight when children walk by the subtle twitch of a man who knows exactly what he is and enjoys the power of that secret knowledge. He is weak and predatory all at once a hollow shell of a human being who feeds on the vulnerability of others because he has nothing of value to offer on his own. Leave now before we drag you out by your throat because nobody wants to share their air with a predator who thinks he is invisible and nobody wants to look at the shame written across your face any longer.

Over the past 150 years, much of the left has been convinced that the only way to actually establish socialism is through violent revolution. The only way to really bring about a "dictatorship of the proletariat" or a "federation of anarchist communes" or whatever the ideal is, is to take up arms, start a civil war, and shoot enough people until we come out on top. And sure, historically that's been the case. The Bolsheviks had to fight a full ass civil war because the anti-communist elements of the Russian army decided they would rather fight and die than live under communism. In the few cases where Marxists were elected to power such as with Allende they ended up overthrown by the military or succumb to liberalism. If one simply looks at what was then it seems obvious that the answer is violent revolution, and yet perhaps this is not the only path.
Let's look at the recent electoral victories against neo-fascists which nonetheless have the backing of the working classes. Hungary, Brazil, Serbia, and as of last night America. Obviously plenty of liberals were involved in these victories, but it cannot be denied that the proletariat have been supportive of them, and we cannot simply discard the will of the proletariat just because it's not revolutionary enough for our liking. And rather than chimp out and start a civil war, the fascists have either fled or meekly caved, abandoning their tough talk of killing libtards at the first sign of trouble. The fact of the matter is that unlike the fascists of yesteryear, our current fascists are abject cowards who fold the moment they get serious pushback. And if they fold that easily, perhaps armed insurrection is not strictly necessary.
This is by no means a call to embrace liberalism or social democracy, or to preserve the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Rather this thread exists to postulate that perhaps, maybe, could using the existing institutions and electoralism to reform a state into a dictatorship of the proletariat work? Could Lassalle be vindicated in the grim dark future of the 21st century? Would it be worth it if it means fewer lives lost? What obstacles might we face with these methods and how might we overcome them while still nominally adhering to the principles of liberal democracy? I think that in this day and age this is a conversation worth having, and that we should reexamine how effective militant revolutionary rhetoric actually is
The viability of reformist socialism, or: was Lassalle right
Okay so before you post your Jewish nigger succdem memes at me, hear me out, I may be cooking here.Over the past 150 years, much of the left has been convinced that the only way to actually establish socialism is through violent revolution.

But with the Elder Scrolls deciding to put the next game in Hammerfell, land of the Redguards, we have an opportunity to have a fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a largely black and brown native population since the Redguards are based on North African peoples. Its an opportunity to show that you can have a successful fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a mostly non-white population, and the right will no longer have the justified complaint that its shitty worldbuilding (and, despite culture war contrarianism, I think everyone knows that the aforementioned trend IS shitty worldbuilding) and they will be forced to fall back on naked racism, which will cause them recede back into their corners of society.
But all that depends on the game itself actually being good and with modern Bethesda that is a big question.
Finally, some good fucking food (maybe)
Recently, fantasy media has been doing diversity in the absolute dumbest and laziest way possible, which is to continue to do European-based medieval fantasy and just make all the characters (including the magical creatures) a completely random smattering of all ethnic appearances and calling it a day. No explanation for why a backwoods medieval farming village appears so cosmopolitan it makes New York City look like an ethnostate. And no recognition of non-European cultures either, it's just straight European fantasy and all cultures and people are treated as European with their appearance being purest tokenism.But with the Elder Scrolls deciding to put the next game in Hammerfell, land of the Redguards, we have an opportunity to have a fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a largely black and brown native population since the Redguards are based on North African peoples.

>On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted G.A.

>This resolutionβmost commonly referred to as the βZionism is racismβ resolutionβ came onto the scene against the backdrop of the Cold War. At that time, the United Nations was a forum in which countries often vied for the approval of, and were aligned with, one of the two great powers. Beginning in the 1960s, following the June 1967 Six-Day War, the Soviet Union began promoting the concept of βZionism-equals-racismβ as a way to strengthen its relations with, and support for, the Arab countries in their ongoing conflict with the State of Israel. The very essence of Zion- ism as the Jewish movement of national liberation and self-determination, which created the only democratic society in the Middle East where Jews and Arabs could live alongside one another, was deliberately distorted into its own antithesis. According to Israelβs enemies, which after 1967 included almost all of the Communist states and many of the so-called non-aligned countries, any manifestation of Jewish national rights was deemed hostile to Arab claims to the entirety of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. Thus, anti-Zionism became a staple of foreign policy not just for Arab and Communist governments, but also for those countries that wanted to burnish their so-called βanti-imperialistβ credentials. This process accelerated as Egypt, the Arab worldβs most populous country, began moving away from the Soviet sphere of influence in the Middle East. In 1973, the UN General Assembly passed an anti-apartheid resolution that condemned βthe unholy alliance between Portuguese colonialism, South African racism, Zionism and Israeli imperialism.β

"The new wage structure will be implemented from βDecember, and workers will receive their first salaries under the revised pay scale in January," Akter said. The six-member board βwas formed this week amid growing labour unrest and includes representatives of workers and factory owners. β It is responsible for reviewing pay in Bangladesh's garment industry. Workers are demanding the monthly minimum wage be raised to 30,000 taka ($242) βfrom 12,500 taka, saying rising food, housing and transport costs have eroded their purchasing power.

Regime Threatens Migrant Workers in Thailand Over Document Boycott
Migrants are boycotting the CI process as the cash-strapped junta attempts to wring more money out of them. Workers applying for the document must now prove that they remit at least 25 percent of their wages to Myanmar through official channels, as well as a 2 percent income tax payment. Official channels offer far less favorable exchange rates than unofficial channels.

UK to deploy facial recognition in biggest-ever immigration crackdown
The technology will be used to identify people βseeking to re-enter the UK unlawfullyβ, target those subject to removal action and to crack down on broader βimmigration-related criminalityβ.

Danish students join European protest wave against education funding cuts
Since 1970, all students enrolled in schools or university in Denmark over the age of 18 have automatically received the student allowance regardless of their parentsβ income. Students currently receive 1,154 kroner ($173) a month for those who live with their parents, and 7,426 kroner ($1,116) for those who live on their own. Under the new government proposal, the allowance would be abolished for students living with parents earning over 700,000 Danish kroner ($105,248).

Israel punishes Palestinian prisoners with solitary confinement for making a cake
The prisoners at Lavi prison had saved up food over several days to make the cake in order to express hope that the vote will lead to the minister's exit from the government. Prison guards found the cake in a cell, prompting officials to take disciplinary measures against the eight and send them to solitary confinement. Ben-Gvir praised prison officials for the decision and mocked prisoners' lack of access to food.

Iran-aligned Iraqi armed faction rejects amendment to parliamentary law
The amendments target core articles in the draft legislation to place PMF brigades β which include Nujaba β under a unified military command, prevent the force from rivaling the Iraqi Army in armament and organization, and relocate its bases outside major cities. The revisions also restrict the independent movement of PMF units, reduce the sweeping privileges of faction leaders and regiment commanders, enforce stricter retirement rules, and sever ties between armed factions and political parties.

ANC faces anger over poor services as South Africans vote in local elections
The former liberation movement, which Nelson Mandela led to power in 1994 at the end of apartheid as South Africaβs first black president, is still likely to be the largest party. However, polls showed it getting less than a third of the vote, down from 45.6% at the last municipal elections in 2021 and 40.2% in 2024βs national elections.

Bangladesh agrees new garment pay scale from December amid protests"The new wage structure will be implemented from βDecember, and workers will receive their first salaries under the revised pay scale in January," Akter said. The six-member board βwas formed this week amid growing labour unrest and includes representatives of workers and factory owners. β It is responsible for reviewing pay in Bangladesh's garment industry. Workers are demanding the monthly minimum wage be raised to 30,000 taka ($242) βfrom 12,500 taka, saying rising food, housing and transport costs have eroded their purchasing power.

Regime Threatens Migrant Workers in Thailand Over Document Boycott
Migrants are boycotting the CI process as the cash-strapped junta attempts to wring more money out of them. Workers applying for the document must now prove that they remit at least 25 percent of their wages to Myanmar through official channels, as well as a 2 percent income tax payment. Official channels offer far less favorable exchange rates than unofficial channels.

Danish students join European protest wave against education funding cuts
Since 1970, all students enrolled in schools or university in Denmark over the age of 18 have automatically received the student allowance regardless of their parentsβ income. Students currently receive 1,154 kroner ($173) a month for those who live with their parents, and 7,426 kroner ($1,116) for those who live on their own. Under the new government proposal, the allowance would be abolished for students living with parents earning over 700,000 Danish kroner ($105,248).

Am I the only one worried that the right-wing is already taking advantage of the fact that the left has become a vacuum of intellect, and is now re-embracing intellectualism on its own terms?
Iβve seen multiple IG pages recently that talk about the literacy crisis in America; however, a good number of these pages/accounts are made by right-wingers/reactionaries. They use very blatant dogwhistles like βclassical educationβ, βgreat booksβ, βvirtue of the Ancientsβ, βglory of Western Civilizationβ, etc. etc. They talk about getting kids (read: theyβre kids, the kids of right-wing elites) to study Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, etc., learn Latin and Ancient Greek at young ages, and pump their heads full of political philosophy. Yeah itβs indoctrination but still.
My assumption here is that the right-wing in America is trying to regroup and reorganize now that MAGA is clearly crashing and burning beyond repair. A lot of the rhetoric they use makes me think this stuff is coming from either the Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, or both.
But I think the deeper issue here is that the left has no way of effectively countering this, assuming this is true. Especially in the past five years or so the American left has almost entirely dismissed intellect and intellectualism in favour of appeals to emotion and petty in-fighting over covid masking, whose identity makes them the most marginalized, and whether or not going to the gym is βfascistβ. Hell, someone just posted a screenshot from Reddit arguing that narcissists and psychopaths should be seen as βoppressedβ. Why? Whatβs our antidote to the right when the right uses literacy and philosophy and such as a means of implementing fascism (or fascism-lite)? The American left seems to be taking the view that intellect is either 1. oppressive (because it inevitably creates a culture whereby smart people are upheld over stupid people) and/or 2. useless, because ethics are allegedly already embedded within human genetics and therefore all we need is intuition (Kropotkinβs Mutual Aid book is often invoked here). Why?
So what should we be doing in response?

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????
The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

>oy vey shut it down, the goyim know too much
this is what neo nazis say whenever they notice the jews, and then they perceive that the jews are shutting down their noticing.
now i have heard some non-nazis start to say this because of zionism and so on, which is fine, i am not opposed to anti-zionism
my question is much more general
the idea is that jews, being a bigoted ingroup who are prejudice towards an outgroup, "goyim", deploy strategies which are effective at maintaining their power and privilege over the outgroup, and if these strategies are noticed by the outgroup, they change their strategies into new strategies which have not yet been noticed and are difficult to counter… my question is this… isn't that just smart? isn't that just adaptation? shouldn't everyone try to do that in order to win? why is it bad when jews do it, and what is the difference from when whites, bourgeoisie, or even proletarian vanguards do it?
shouldn't you try really hard to shut down the pattern noticing of your enemies? shouldn't you try really hard to employ strategies which are difficult to counter and go unnoticed by your enemies? What's so jewish about that?

Basically it becomes more and more retarded until you end up
>What about captain america?
>And captain america not fighting Thanos in my MCU?!
>communism and money can not exist!
That was always a incredibly retarded argument and I do not understand how the viewers of this trash are not dying of cringe.
Did people make debunking of this """"logic"""" because the video is pure insanity. The truth is that there is no such thing as central planning.
>Herp derp how do we produce things? How many of them?!
How does the factory do it now?
This is something this video never answers it only says
>People do whatever they want today this is capitalism
Absurdist and ridiculous.
However austrian loons will throw around literally religious phrases
<They are measuring the market signals
By the magic powers the oracle has presumably.
<The market decides!
Like there is some god entity the clergy talks to on this subject and this god is named the market.
And pretend like their insanity makes any sense whatsoever.
However instead of asking where this self contradictory god named the market lives or who exactly is talking to him (questions who will never be answered by Austrian cultists) the video ditches the religious nonsense of the Austrian cult and tries an atheistic version of this argument.
I mean this is a simple question if you are 18 or about to start to think(and never worked in any production job whatsoever; student/NEET) about how to organize things however the solution is very simple an this is true of everyone even magical capitalist will fail this.
If you throw people on some isolated island and tell them to figure things out everything will devolve into chaos this is regardless of anything involved. And no
>Letting people decide their own things
Will result in total disaster very fast. The scenario is not even coherent it does not even say if this is some isolated island or the walking dead universe or what.
Presumably there is internet and it has power since people are submitting things there and presumably there are farms and factories and transportation and it was not destroyed.
However after a communist revolution with all of this in place(not isolated island not the walking dead universe) the solution is simple, just do it like it was always done. The video makes only sense if you are trying to come up with some alternative to money, however lets keep money and do the same thing. I mean there is no controversial question of
>HoW MuTcH Is tHeRe To PrOdUcE?!
Because this is handled by orders who did come by the client firms and they did come long before today since most businesses can have year long contracts that are not even fully realized yet.
This is something you realize if you ever worked in your life and not are a NEET or Student or only produce youtube videos for a living!
>What if people order to mutch?!
1) You are dealing with bosses or firms who are serious and not insane. You can replace capitalist boss with Combine Manager if you like.
2) Normally they order the same things like 50K units every day with some fluctuation for seasonal events so +10% -20% fluctuation
3) If the client orders something out of the ordinary like lets say 100Bilion units you seriously ask them if they can fulfill this obligation or if this is a mistake. I presume a boss would reject a order like that and either phone back or simply give them their standard unit of 50K if they can not talk to them and are getting some deranged e-mails and no one saying anything.
4) If they can not pay their obligation they get sued.
5) A factory has a maximal output capacity so if you have 10 clients who all take 50K units (500K per day) your max output is about 600K of the factory or presumably 700K if you really try to do overtime and speed some things up. So a ridiculous order like 100Billion will get rejected since that means you need to break obligations with other clients.
Seriously this is something you can figure out if you ever worked in a factory or even in any business! I have no idea how people who have a job do not realize this cringe shit arguments for absolute bullshit. I seriously think the only people who repeat this are Students(legal NEETS), NEETS who did not work a day in their life and people who do some bullshit like make youtube videos for a living.
6) The final part of this is some fidgeting with the number if you have a order for 50K units you will make something like 51K or 52K units because sometimes the machine fucks up and shredded the product or some parts come out defective and need to be thrown out.
There is also some guess work like
>(ice cream) Last year this season(winter) we needed to make only 10K units a day so it will probably be the same.
7) Now one can ask where these numbers come from? They come from the previous years and previous records of orders and production. Something the capitalist boss keeps. In a communist revolution scenario these records can be taken or people who work there can remember things if the capitalist decides to burn or destroy these records.
8) Another idea is that the video insists on creating some kind of economic dictator who decides everything. Now if taken as a serious argument and not some exercise for students or people who start thinking about the economy that is silly. Because in the military you do not have 1 guy who decides everything. There is no magic dictator who orders every foot moved of every soldier at what time
<Epic debunking of the army everyone!
<How can 1 guy decide what position of every finger ever soldier must have?!
<Ha no one can do that!
<IMPOSSIBLE! GENERALS DEBUNKED!
A general gives orders to lower-ranking officers (Lieutenants) who give orders to people under them and a general does not micro manage every movement of every private there is a chain of command and the general will order a Battalions to move to a position at a given time and this is the responsibility of the people under him to do it.

So after a communist revolution things can get ruff because some capitalists can decide to destroy their records(far more easy on the computer then on paper) of these things however things will iron themselves out eventually.
I also do not want people to go to the traditional
>and some people are better at making pants! Capitalism YES!
And go to the the insulting with
<And then there is the capitalist boss who is the best at TAKING money so he takes the most! Capitalism YES!
Because this avoids the silly student question and concentrates on the capitalists as parasites.
Communism VS Central Planning
I have seen this retardation spammed all over the place because of austrian economic loons however it always did feel so retarded.I think this is the most condensed example of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3OH4QO5JY
Basically it becomes more and more retarded until you end up
>What about captain america?
>And captain america not fighting Thanos in my MCU?!
>communism and money can not exist!
That was always a incredibly retarded argument and I do not understand how the viewers of this trash are not dying of cringe.
Did people make debunking of this """"logic"""" because the video is pure insanity. The truth is that there is no such thing as central planning.
>Herp derp how do we produce things? How many of them?!
How does the factory do it now?
This is something this video never answers it only says
>People do whatever they want today this is capitalism
Absurdist and ridiculous.
However austrian loons will throw around literally religious phrases
<They are measuring the market signals
By the magic powers the oracle has presumably.
<The market decides!
Like there is some god entity the clergy talks to on this subject and this god is named the market.
And pretend like their insanity makes any sense whatsoever.
However instead of asking where this self contradictory god named the market lives or who exactly is talking to him (questions who will never be answered by Austrian cultists) the video ditches the religious nonsense of the Austrian cult and tries an atheistic version of this argument.
I mean this is a simple question if you are 18 or about to start to think(and never worked in any production job whatsoever; student/NEET) about how to organize things however the solution is very simple an this is true of everyone even magical capitalist will fail this.
If you throw people on some isolated island and tell them to figure things out everything will devolve into chaos this is regardless of anything involved. And no

we need to take advantage of republicans weakness, not just laughter but intentional shifting of public consciousness, the maga movement is an irrational exploitative scourge on this country and destroying it is one step we must take to make the standard more progressive.
We must shift the goal post using rhetoric, not safe language but aggressive language that is honest and representative of the people.
Americas brand of Conservatism must become a laughable ideology that no one takes seriously.
TLDR; We need to start a grassroots movement on the internet to start calling Trump βlame duck Donaldβ

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

I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.
To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.
This is my life!
Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.
He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot
So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there
My idea is to take some dummy thing maybe a Halloween pumpkin and place the camera inside of it (replace one eye with a camera?) or inside the PC.
I want also to listen what the fuck is doing and talking about when I am not at home. I suspect he was thrown out of work and this can have consequences for my living situation.
I suspect there are conversations with his wife when I am not at home. And I do not want him to fuck me over. I was also thinking about hiding a mini microphone in the living room so I have full coverage
This is spy VS spy levels of fuckery at this point. I suspect he did hide a camera in the new light bulb that is in my room. I did hear him drill in the other room I am checking if he did not drill over a camera to my room.
So I have this idea to use legos in my projects.
For example I have some ideas for a raspberry pi zero that involve a microphone or camera.
I looked how much I will need to pay for them on https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=2x4
And it is very cheep(I suppose there is a minimum order or a shipping fee this is not a problem). I want to order them because I am not going to look at rainbow vomit all the time if I go and get them from good will (I buy black only).
So I want to make a raspberry pi based microphone to listen to people or a camera to listen and watch.
My main problem was that if I want to place this in some enclosure I will need to spend $$$$ to keep them in place and after it is finished there is no way to change things inside and I need to spend more money.
So why not use legos?
I am not a lego fagot so I have no taboo about using knives and glue on legos.
The basic idea is this. Lets say I want to hide a microphone inside my PC. I did think to use one of the old HDD enclosures I have however getting the microphone and PI in place can be a pain, And most methods result in it either moving around(very bad) or expensive bolted forever in place.
So here is the idea buy some lego plates
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
and use some plastic to plastic or plastic to metal(more on this later) glue to glue this in place forever.
This is the base that should stick in place forever in the dummy HDD enclosure or whatever.
On top of this I can use normal legos to build whatever structure I want. for example I can use my PC microphone and cut away the useless parts and then glue this to a small lego to be able to place it in different places. The PI goes into its plastic enclosure however I perma glue a lego plat to that plastic. This way I can swap or change it whenever I need or replace it with a different PI in the future etc.
Same for the microphone I can try different arrangements or parts. lego fagots will lose their mind that I am permanently damaging legos however 1 base plat and 1 lego to make whatever plastic I like mountable is literally nothing for my wallet.
I did see that lego also sells these plates that do a 90 turn
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&page=5&selectedElement=6491823
and this can be interesting to get the camera in the right position I can simply build a lego tower to the right position and them install this plate to attach the camera (who already has a lego perm glued to it so it an be mounted) What I need is for this thing to be stable and not to collapse or start making noises. I am not going for special snowflake legos I use generic 4 types so I can assemble and disassemble and try different configurations.
I was wondering if Technic peaces are any good? Is there anything good for using them and these lego cylinders to mount a camera to a lego wall? Or is that a bad idea?
I was thinking I go
Normal 1x4 (or whatever) for walls
Normal 2x4 for building upwards towers. I did hear they are the most structurally sound.
Plate 1x2
Plate 1x6
Plate 2x4
Plate 2x6
I was thinking to glue to the electronics either a normal 2x2 or a 1x2 plate What is better?
And these 90 turn plates maybe a 1x2?
Also what is better idea to buy a fully made big plate
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
Or to make it myself for the base by using overlapping layers or 2x6 plates or something?
I do not want the base plate to rip from the base of the enclosure when I try to remove a lego tower and force me to glue that in once more.
Is a zig-zag of plates glued together a better option OR do I only glue 1 layer to the bottom and the zig-zag layer is a sacrificial layer since if it detaches itself it is not that bad as the connection to the bottom being destroyed?
Any suggestions?
I was thinking about using lego attachments on the metal of the PC case.
Should I glue plates or normal ones for the electronics? What is better for stability?
Also do they sell dummy PCIe cards? I can use that to build on top of it(it getting hot can be a problem) Worse case scenario I get these old TV signal to PCI cards and build on top of that.
Anyone has any experience with this?
LEGO for Raspberry Pi
The backstory.I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.
To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.
This is my life!
Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.
He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot
So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there
My idea is to take some dummy thing maybe a Halloween pumpkin and place the camera inside of it (replace one eye with a camera?) or inside the PC.
I want also to listen what the fuck is doing and talking about when I am not at home. I suspect he was thrown out of work and this can have consequences for my living situation.
I suspect there are conversations with his wife when I am not at home. And I do not want him to fuck me over. I was also thinking about hiding a mini microphone in the living room so I have full coverage

France imposes curfews in parts of Paris, other cities after weekend of riots
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-macron-declines-interior-ministers-offer-resign-2026-10-19/
>French authorities set curfews in parts of several cities on Monday, including Paris, Lille and Nice, as they faced pressure over security failings after a weekend of riots and looting stemming βfrom nationwide anti-government protests.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had ruled out a blanket curfew in Paris but not a state of emergency, and had said it was more appropriate for now to βapply partial and localised curfews.
>"My determination to restore order is absolute," he told reporters.
Paris police said they had issued orders barring protests in certain areas of the French capital from 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) and had issued a curfew around the Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11:00 p.m. Both would remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
>"A police deployment is in place to ensure strict compliance with these measures," the police said in a statement.
>A source in Lecornu's office said a curfew for minors had been set between β8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the next two days in Lille, Douai, Wattignies and Denain with the agreement of the local mayors.

What's your take on the coming elections in the demon colony?
I hope that Netanyahu and the extreme right win, it will tarnish Israel's reputation even further + they are very incompetent. If the "moderate" liberal Zionists win it's fucking over. They will present themselves as more sane but will continue dispossessing Palestinians under a nice guy mask.
Basically I see Netanyahu as the Shabtai Tzvi of Zionism.

Europe and Persian Gulf has many sorry mistakes of countries with around million people, not a hint of economic independence, no real military, no influence, only real political "independence" is to choose who they vassalize themselves to, and if they choose poorly the people will pay the price. The current UN system insists (thanks to historic precedence) that they should be treated mostly the same as world superpowers in international affairs. Most of eastern Europe is full of this "small business owner" tier of a country.
I'm not arguing against people's right to govern themselves or local governance. But to me it's obvious that this is one major fault in current world politics. Many countries in UN are literally just extra votes for one superpower or another, bought and paid for by financial dependence and assistance. How do we remedy this? Restructuring or collapse of the UN system is coming in the not so far future. People are talking that security council does not represent the actual balance of power anymore while it includes countries like France and UK, but excludes countries like India, Brazil and Iran. People don't look at the issue of small countries and their minuscule and still outsizes influence that creates distortions and makes it even harder to move forward in international affairs. Not to speak of the inefficiencies it creates when every mini and micro state has it's own laws, social services, police, etc (because that makes them a state). In many places the differences between countries are minuscule and are already eroding by cooperation between countries. European federation would make sense to me if in practice all the people pushing it wouldn't be the fucking EU and liberal closeted fascists and idiots.
International politics and peoples' right a to state in 21st century
What is the point of pretending that nation-states are an organic and useful political project in the modern world? Lenin most famously promised nations of Russian empire independence (with some tactical considerations, mostly regarding colonies). Not every swampy town with dozen people automatically has some god given right to secede and form a new country as long as they fight for it, nor should we applaud it.Europe and Persian Gulf has many sorry mistakes of countries with around million people, not a hint of economic independence, no real military, no influence, only real political "independence" is to choose who they vassalize themselves to, and if they choose poorly the people will pay the price.

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 ΕaαΉ kara, KumΔrila BhaαΉαΉa and various Nyaya school philosophers (like VΔtsΔyana) likewise critiqued Buddhist thought in their various works. ΕaαΉ kara 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 Mahendraβs 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 Mahendraβs 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 moralistsβ 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 monksβ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General SΕng HyΕn (1439β1504) 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 SΕng 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 KΕmsΕng between King SΕngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that βon Mount KΕmsΕng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the governmentβs 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 wivesβ.
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

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 ΕaαΉ kara, KumΔrila BhaαΉαΉa and various Nyaya school philosophers (like VΔtsΔyana) likewise critiqued Buddhist thought in their various works. ΕaαΉ kara 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 Mahendraβs 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 Mahendraβs 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 moralistsβ 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 monksβ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General SΕng HyΕn (1439β1504) 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 SΕng 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 KΕmsΕng between King SΕngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that βon Mount KΕmsΕng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the governmentβs 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 wivesβ.

Do some of you still find the concept of the Old Left, particularly those who hold socially conservative views while maintaining economically left-wing or anti-capitalist positions, politically foreign or difficult to reconcile with contemporary left-wing politics in America?
I'm asking this because a little while ago, a person sent me a message saying that the concept of socially conservative leftists was somewhat foreign to them, as the variation of leftism that most people here are exposed to tends to incorporate both economically left-wing and socially progressive values. Initially, they assumed an inherent contradiction between being socially conservative and economically left-wing, since the two are often treated as politically incompatible in contemporary American politics.
However, historically, that hasn't always been the case, especially when you look at older generations of leftists, traditional labor movements, and socialist movements outside the Western world(e.g., Christians for National Liberation (CNL) in the Philippines, Nyerere's Ujamaa in Tanzania, Nasserism in Egypt, and Ba'athist Arab socialism in Iraq, etc.), where anti-capitalist economic positions have often coexisted with socially conservative attitudes toward religion, family structures, gender roles, etc.
I grew up in this tradition, as did my father and his father before him (none of whom were particularly religious, btw). The men in my life believed that a post-capitalist society would still need socially conservative values in order to promote a functional collective because, say, for example, if you're trying to build a society around collective ownership and mutual responsibility, how exactly would that society function if everyone prioritized their individual desires over their obligations to their families and communities?
From their perspective, simply abolishing capitalism wouldn't mitigate selfishness or the tendency to prioritize personal interests over the collective good. They believed that traditional family structures, intergenerational obligations, and certain cultural expectations helped cultivate the sense of responsibility necessary for a socialist society to function. In other words, economic collectivism needed to be accompanied by a social and cultural framework that encouraged people to place the well-being of their communities above their individual interests. My father isn't a campist either, and he doesn't believe leftists should automatically defend authoritarian governments because they oppose Western imperialism; his social conservatism is rooted more in his connection to our culture and his desire to preserve cultural continuity and collective responsibility across the generations.
Since migrating here in my youth, I've obviously adopted many socially progressive values that differ from those of my father, grandfather, and my entire hometown. However, my support for these values largely comes from my belief that people shouldn't be forced to adhere to traditional cultural expectations simply because they're considered essential to maintaining social cohesion or preserving cultural identity. I tend to view it through an analogy where a particular therapeutic modality might be appropriate for one person but not necessarily for another. Just because someone finds a culturally conservative life meaningful or fulfilling doesn't mean we should assume that everyone else would benefit from following that same path.
But I digress. Do some of you still find socially conservative leftists hard to wrap your head around, or is this something you're already familiar with

The attempted departure comes amid uncertainty over the future of foreign fighters in Syria, including possible integration into the new military structure and the fate of units with foreign fighters in their ranks.

Piles of rubbish, power cuts and potholes: anger grows over Johannesburgβs run-down infrastructure
One person said she had had no power for six months. Another said her mother had been forced to turn to loan sharks after receiving energy bills as high as 6,000 rand a month when her monthly pension was 2,000 rand. βIf there is any organisation that is dysfunctional it is this organisation β¦ it is failing,β one man said, drawing huge cheers from the audience.

class structure in the periphery isn't the same as in the imperial core, that much should be obvious to anyone familiar with the concept of imperialism/who's familiar with lenin's works or even some more recent books like monopoly capital by sweezy

I came across these posts online. Does this mean thereβs an American Christo-fascist conspiracy in the world that uses anti-LGBT populism to promote its agenda?
Translation of the post:
<Because since 2013, Russia has been involved in promoting a multinational conservative-religious propaganda campaign.
<Before 2013, nobody really cared about the fight for gay rights. In fact, anti-discrimination laws were even being prepared for adoption. These laws were supposed to protect LGBT people in the workplace and pave the way for further reforms.
<But in 2013, Russia was visited by Scott Douglas Lively, a right-wing conservative from California and one of the main architects of the international anti-gay propaganda movement. And I'm not fucking joking about the main architect part.
<He toured Europe and Africa, delivering lectures in every country, funded by churches and religious organizations, while meeting with local politicians and lawmakers. In every country he visited, he told Europeans and Africans about the supposed homosexual threat that was destroying their nations and would lead to their extinction. HE EVEN BROUGHT THE SAME PROGRAM TO AFRICA, USING THE SAME METHODS! He talked about how the United States wanted to corrupt them and lower their birth rates.
<He was responsible for introducing the death penalty for homosexuality in Uganda. He arrived in the country and began spreading fear among the local population. A few years later, they passed a law introducing the death penalty for homosexual acts.
<After that, he visited nine former Soviet countries. In eight out of those nine countries, discriminatory laws against LGBT people were passed following his visits.
<In 2007, he arrived in Russia and visited 50 Russian cities, delivering lectures and meeting with local politicians in each of them.
<In 2013, he wrote an open letter to the Russian people, urging the authorities to pass a law banning gay propaganda as soon as possible, warning them about the supposed threat.
<In 2013, the first version of Russia's anti-LGBT propaganda law was introduced.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Lively
<But this was only the beginning. Scott Lively was also active in countries of the Third World. He was helping spread fascist propaganda throughout Africa and the former USSR.
<Meanwhile, the bigwigs in the United States were preparing for a massive comeback of fascism in 2016.
<In 2016, under the cover of Trump's presidential campaign, a torrent of criticism and memes flooded popular culture:
"transhumanistS DIE IN 40% OF CASES! A NEOVAGINA IS A FESTERING WOUND FULL OF WORMS! UGLY FAGGOTS WANT TO KILL AND RAPE YOUR CHILDREN! TRANSGENDERISM WAS INVENTED BY JEWISH DOCTOR MONEY, WHO CUT OFF INFANTS' DICKS!"
<The comeback β a counterattack by uneducated fascists who had been hiding in society all this time, preparing for their return β had begun.
<At the same time, Britain experienced the biggest TERF surge in its history. The country itself left the EU, declaring that it no longer wanted anything to do with the "Gayropeans." Rowling, instead of writing more stories about wizards, began writing books about how transgender people murder women out of envy of their femininity.
<At the same time, this "youth culture" began filling up with inflated, completely fabricated news stories about how transgender people were destroying video games and how Netflix shows were boring because they featured faggotry.
<The sheer scale and amount of insane money poured into this gigantic international campaign cannot be underestimated!
<Even if, for fuck's sake, Elon Musk bought Twitter just to post about how doctors performing gender-affirming care on children should face the death penalty, his fucking entourage didn't hesitate to buy an entire information platform just so Musk could promote the film What Is a Woman?
The other pics show a letter to Putin from Lively, a homophobic website that praises Lively, and related photos.

I only used a "gamer" feminist as a picrel because misandrists are harder to catch than misogynists because everyone's either too naive or a pussy orbiter or a misandrist themselves. Throw the first stone ye simps. They all virtue-fy their hate of Man and then the simps just sealion along.
There's a much older name for bitter "incels" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timon_of_Athens_(person)
Timon was too nice when he was rich so when he got poor everyone deserted him. When he got rich again, he was an asshole to everyone. His kindness was ill-informed and in his naivete and he became his true self when he got redpilled. The redpill is a Marxist concept through Debord so it's all misanthropy via heteropessimist gender alienation.
Misanthropy
Misanthropy is a hatred or a negative view of the human race. Everything that the misandrists and the misogynists hate about their chosen hated sex exists within their own self-identified sex so in the big picture it is that they hate humans. If sex is oppression and a humiliation ritual then that species of life itself is at fault.
Hatred of the opposite sex is indirect misanthropy
Hatred of the opposite sex is indirect misanthropyI only used a "gamer" feminist as a picrel because misandrists are harder to catch than misogynists because everyone's either too naive or a pussy orbiter or a misandrist themselves. Throw the first stone ye simps. They all virtue-fy their hate of Man and then the simps just sealion along.
There's a much older name for bitter "incels" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timon_of_Athens_(person)
Timon was too nice when he was rich so when he got poor everyone deserted him. When he got rich again, he was an asshole to everyone. His kindness was ill-informed and in his naivete and he became his true self when he got redpilled. The redpill is a Marxist concept through Debord so it's all misanthropy via heteropessimist gender alienation.

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

obviously pre-2016-fed/pol/ era, if you're a tran browsing IBs you're or should obviously be old enough to remember life before the rise of "beta" and "incel" culture in 4chan, where the absurd became nihilism and then it came the grooming;
it's not a conspiracy, the "glowie" meme became a thing thanks to the known fact of federal agents browsing these sites, but back on topic:
I don't usually do this but;
>TW:
<Brainworms
<Depression
<Slurs(?)
think Bailey Jay, tranchan and "trap aesthetics" guides, faproulette?
at least for me it was an important part of my self-discovery as a depressed teen isolated and with no education on what even trans people, spending time between IBs only interacting with terminally online incels at the peak of my delayed puberty
Giving up and taking my first steps in gender exploration i realized i had to make a choice between "malebrained" nihilist spaces and actually transitioning, fast forward to the present i'm here, brainworms and a shaky early transition due to contact with transmedicalists overlapping with Blanchardism makes me stick to /tttt/ culture
and here's where i make a pause to make a critique of "transmedicalism" not as a method but as a cope starved for validation
I once got kicked for "comparing it to nazism" while making the comparison to how quoting Evola doesn't make you a nazi/fascist, but puts you in a place where you're at least adjacent to nazi/fascist ideas.
now let's think the two sides of terminally online trans spaces: trans hugboxes and trans brainworm nests
they're different enough in "vibe" and yet they both represent a terminally online space where both positive and negative feedbacks of self-affirming dogmas and paranoias.
As a result of this i struggle constantly with the concept of Autogynephilia to a point where it affects my bf;
as an outsider he doesn't understand it, but he has an aversion to the concept and a desire to understand it as he wishes to understand me.
I've infected a cis person with brainworms.
I have to tell him it's not real but he says there seems to be a degree of credibility to it. it hurts me, and even without that second opinion the fact that Blanchardism has been co-opted by trans spaces, in fact the mere fact the AGP typology is still part of the DSM-V is hurtful even if i recognize psychology under capitalism seeks to colonize such conditions; in order to explain it to a group of scholars who clearly have no interest in the wellbeing of the people they pathologize.
How do we break this cycle?
we have the Thesis; a pathology that makes trans women in particular (for some reason) dwell in a cycle of self hate which innevitably overlaps with the same nihilistic worldview that degenerated IBs into what they are today
and on the other side the Anti-thesis; the hugbox where you won't hear any of this, their sisters are falling apart and their reaction is "fuck them, they're rude and their negativity makes me sad, best of luck but fuck you", liberalism in it's maximum expression, *every woman by herself.* if i pump the music higher i won't hear their screams.
what would be the next step to break this cycle? do we engage? do we appropriate? how would you organize this purposefully balkanized community?

But going back to the main topic, I do consider Ahmed al-Sharaa a slightly better alternative to the Assad family, although that doesn't mean I'm giving his administration a free pass. While I'm not aware of any conclusive evidence that al-Sharaa personally ordered the massacres of ethnic and religious minorities, particularly Alawites and Druze, forces affiliated with his government have been implicated in these atrocities. There have also been serious concerns about the treatment of Kurds, particularly during the fighting between government forces and the SDF.
I understand that al-Sharaa doesn't necessarily have complete control over every armed faction operating under his government, especially given how fragmented Syria became during the civil war. However, that doesn't absolve his administration of responsibility for protecting civilians or holding those responsible for these atrocities accountable. I also think it's worth recognizing that Syria is emerging from decades of authoritarian rule under the Assad family, followed by more than a decade of civil war. I don't expect the country to become a functioning liberal democracy overnight, but I do think it's reasonable to expect its new leadership to genuinely commit to protecting minorities and allowing political dissent.
Regarding his domestic legislative initiatives, I think some of the changes introduced under his administration are worth acknowledging. For instance, his government established commissions to investigate crimes committed under the Assad regime and locate missing Syrians. In January 2026, al-Sharaa also issued a decree recognizing Kurdish cultural and linguistic rights, granting citizenship to Kurds affected by the discriminatory 1962 census, and making Nowruz a national holiday. More recently, Syria's transitional parliament voted to abolish the notorious Counter-Terrorism Court that Assad used to prosecute political opponents.
However, I still have reservations about the amount of power concentrated in al-Sharaa's presidency. Although the transitional constitutional declaration provides certain protections for civil liberties, it also gives him considerable influence over the legislature and judiciary. I'm also concerned that the transitional justice process primarily focuses on crimes committed by the Assad regime rather than abuses committed by other armed groups, including those affiliated with the current government. I do think there is a difference between recognizing that some progress has been made and assuming that Syria is inevitably heading toward democracy. Ultimately, I think what matters is whether these reforms actually translate into meaningful protections for ordinary Syrians, regardless of their religious, ethnic, or political backgrounds.
What are your thoughts/feelings regarding the man?
What do you think of Ahmed al-Sharaa's administration in Syria so far?
Unfortunately, I've seen quite a few people, particularly campists, argue that the Assad family was a better alternative to Ahmed al-Sharaa's administration, largely because the former maintained close relations with Russia and Iran and was seen as a bastion against American imperialism. Personally, as someone who opposes imperialism regardless of where it comes from, whether it's the West, the Middle East, Russia, or elsewhere. I find it rather tragic that these people seem to be missing the forest for the trees. They're so focused on the geopolitical allegiances of the Assad regime that they overlook how its policies and actions actually affected the Syrian people. Just because a government opposes American imperialism doesn't mean it can't engage in oppression or facilitate imperialism itself.But going back to the main topic, I do consider Ahmed al-Sharaa a slightly better alternative to the Assad family, although that doesn't mean I'm giving his administration a free pass.

We have all been issued a license to kill the capitalists most responsible for climate change. Nothing else actually matters, and if we do not demonstrate the ability to use lethal force against those most responsible for the destruction of the biosphere then the global proletariat will never look to us for leadership. I don't want to debate the merits of "adventurism" versus "revolutionary violence" anymore. Billionaires are over consuming so they should be culled, and we should be the people who do the culling.
