Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?
The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

One Battle After Another
Knowing the real history of American radical left-wing groups, this film is far too generous about their capabilities. In reality, they wouldn’t have killed any political figure higher than a superintendent, would likely have set off a bomb that killed a good portion of their members or been shot dead and arrested if they actually tried fighting against an armed resistance.

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?
No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.
So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

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

FTL Time Travel Future
The relativity of time is not just a reason we cannot "travel in space and make it back", it is a utility that can be used to preserve the subjects to travel in FTL speed or even a beam me up scotty wormhole and calculate a journey back to skip time whilst preserving their own biological clocks. In other words indeed a person that is 25 in 2025 may go to another place in space through FTL travel and come back only to see the Earth is gone despite still being 25 years old biologically, but in the same manner if the journey is calculated the subject can effectively skip time for a set period of hundreds of years and if there is hope in development may return to live and benefit from the fruits of it in the future's availed life extension technology if humanity proves successful in not destroying itself, if it does destroy itself. It is effectively time travel into the future and thus any persons who wish to see if the species will succeed and live to see it or live to see if it has been insufficient and unworthy they may be able to do that through space travel. We currently do not possess FTL travel or wormholes, but it is simply the easiest way to be able to time travel into the future. With the development of AI a ship could be able to decide its own course and trajectory safely and be able to calculate how to return, all that is needed is research on the method for propelling and the type of energy consumption and materials needed to be able to initiate FTL, to which particle accelerators may hold an answer to that.

Anyone else really hate the "social theory" of transness?
That is, the idea that being trans is in some way caused by socialization and has no physiological component (ie brain differences, hormonal abnormalities, etc) to it at all. I keep seeing other lefty people, both trans and cis, repeat this. I'm not even going to get into all the evidence that points towards a physiological origin because my real point is that I honestly find the idea just really invalidating and kind of offensive. It's as if they're saying my dysphoria isn't real, that transness is equivalent to being a fashion choice and I just need to get over it or find a more accepting community or whatever instead of transition being a medical necessity.

What’s stopping China from helping Detroit?
Think about it. China does foreign policy based on sift power rather than militarism or blackmail. China builds hospitals in Mali in exchange for good, rather than invading and seizing the gold for themselves. China is the reason hundreds of millions of people in Africa have electricity and running water, right? If China can do this, why aren’t they stepping in and helping Detroit rebuild?
China could fund mass construction projects. Build housing all over Detroit that resembles housing in Chinese cities. Build a functioning metro/train system. Build more hospitals. Build better schools that look like wonder museums rather than prisons. Build urban farms to fix the food desert issue. Give Detroit the latest and greatest tech. Bring back millions of jobs. Why not?
China turns shitholes into functioning cities. Just compare their cities from 37 years ago to their cities now. They could easily do the same for Detroit. Trump Administration be damned. Just get the mayor of Detroit to form a working relationship with Xi and the CPC and watch things happen.

For the past 10 years, the entire crux of the Democratic Party has been "STOP TRUMP". The average American Democrat or liberal now bases their political views solely on how much they hate Trump, MAGAts, "manosphere" podcasters, so-called "alt-right pipelines", and everything in between. They have no real principles and it shows.
The right-wing, on the other hand, believes it is creating a new world; it's a much worse world, but that's how they want it. This has caused liberals to prop up the old, dying system as a way of preventing it from collapsing into something worse. Now, we're seeing liberals who claim to be "left-wing" embrace everything from free trade agreements (on the basis Trump's tariffs need to be stopped) to hyper-consumerism (on the basis that spending money on fashion and makeup and mindless consumer goods helps maintain your "individuality" against Trump-era conformity) to literal junk food (in order to own RFK and MAHA). It doesn't take much to realize all of these were once things American liberals strongly opposed 20-25 years ago; I'm old enough to remember when "clean girl" no-makeup aesthetics, eating organic, and herbal medicines were leftist things.
American liberals are now pushing a culture of hyper-rationality and order to counter the mass chaos that has erupted in America under Trump. They hate ICE agents terrorizing communities but they hate the sporadic community defence and protests that pop up to beat back ICE even more. They hate the Luigi Mangiones and the Tyler Robinsons and the prospects of an American Years of Lead. They want everything to be "rational" and based on slow progression and linear shit. But this way is outdated. Trying to find the "middle path" doesn't work when capitalism is in a state of collapse. For the liberal, everything that doesn't fit their paradigm is "mysticism" which always equates to "fascism" and needs to be stamped out before it manifests into authoritarianism. But how can this hyper-rationalism win?
The same is true of foreign policy. Liberals insist on American soft power, which arguably won't work in a world post-Gaza where American support for the most documented genocide in recent history was on full display. Trump, on the other hand, is an old school imperialist who simply seizes whatever he demands without caring.
So where does that leave the Democrats and their liberal base? What happens if Trump succumbs to kidney disease or whatever illness he has and dies in office from natural causes? The Dems spent 10 years obsessively attacking Trump and the "irrationality" of his supporters without providing anything worthy of their own. Realistically, what's going to happen?

What's the best way to convince anarchists that power and hierarchy aren't inherently bad?
Anarkids act like they understand theory and sociology better than Marxists do. They love getting on their moral high horse by calling everything "oppression". Yet when you actually pick apart their arguments you'll see that they're full of hot air 95% of the time. They talk a good deal about intersectionality and anti-oppression, but when pressed on how to abolish those oppressive structures in society they have no clue.
Marxism, OTOH, is scientific. We understand that political power is necessary to reshape society. We also understand that hierarchies need to exist until we reach the stage of communism, and even then you will still see things like hierarchies of intelligence, talent, beauty, strength, and so on that can't simply be abolished through idealist methods.
But how do you explain this without looking like you're making apologia for oppression? I've tried the Hegelian way of simply saying "the real is rational" but that doesn't get through anarkids' heads very well.

>immigration in general
I'm not against immigrants actually, but I do think bring millions of immigrants from very radical different culture is recipe for creating tension and division inside of a country
>genes and behaviors
Yeah, that one is a hard, I think genes play a strong role on human behavior, I actually told that to some leftist in real life and I got shot down by being called "eugenicist", only a gay dude agree with me because he says that he didn't choose to be gay, he was born that way and could see other behavior having gene influencing too
>religion
I don't support religion at all, I think they are reactionary as fuck, especially desert religions like christianity, judaism and islam are especially bad and very very reactionary and should be fought against.
So far as I remember those are to topics that cause me to clash with my leftist tendencies, do you have any opinions and views that you considered to clash with your progressive views?

I feel like such a failure as gay guy. the only thing other gay people seem to talk about is sex, yet im 19 and still havent ever experienced sex. I havent even ever been able to get a boyfriend. I cant relate at all to all the things other gays talk about because of how I have no experience. It makes me feel so pathetic and out of place in any online gay community.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.
Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.
Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.
Is there anything else happening?

Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.
Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me.

Fix the anarcho-transhumanist flag name please
Its not just the flag of transhumanism, its the flag of anarchist-transhumanism - bisected blue and black. Transhumanism on its own generally does not have a flag but mostly commonly is just represented by the h+ symbol. All the other anarchist ideologies have Anarcho- before them, fix the flag name please.

Transsexualism a condition that develops in the womb. All these studies prove that transsexuality is not a schizotypal disorder or delusional disorder and gender dysphoria is real. Trans women have feminized brains, trans men have masculinized brains.But even these facts do not necessarily cause gender dysphoria (steriotypical passive gays experience feminization, but without gender dysphoria). The mechanism of gender identity is currently unknown.

STG sets up roadblocks on the roads leading to Suwayda, pursuant to the ceasefire agreement.
Remaining tribals in Suwayda governorate launch a last-ditch attack on Suwayda city.
Tribals enter some of the city's northwest areas. They suffer heavy casualties and retreat from the city on the same day.
Straggler tribals launch a few attacks on Druze villages here and there, nothing significant.
Overall ceasefire holds up after that. STG prevents further entry of tribals and their numbers keep dwindling.
STG releases their report on the massacres of Alawites in March of this year. They say that they aren't directly responsible.
Saudi announces they will buy a bunch of property in Syria.
Israeli and Syrian officials meet in Paris. A second meeting in Baku was cancelled.
Accusations that the STG is doing a soft siege on Suwayda governorate and worsening the humanitarian situation.
Turkey/SNA starts threatening the SDF and launches a few attacks against them in Deir Hafer and Tishreen dam.

Liberals don‘t understand the importance of revolution, the cost of revolution, how it is misguided to complain about what necessarily happens in revolutions and why reasoning must reject and move past that of the established status quo because liberals are not taught the importance of their own revolution. You may learn about the events that have happened, but you are not philosophically educated about revolutions in themselves and their necessity in moving past a system that is inherently bad and whose rulers and those privileged will fight tooth and nail to keep it, at the cost of everyone else living in misery.
I suggest that if you want to convert liberals to socialism then educate them about the liberal revolution. Make them grasp the necessity and good of a revolution regarding something they wouldn‘t possibly disagree with. Additionally, you could then translate this to our times and make analogies of the current ruling class acting like kings and everyone else having to live like a serf.

The right starts putting shitty statistics over nature scenarios with nightcore blasting through? The left copies it, only changing the statistic and adding a ushanka to the retarded greek statue reaction image,
The right starts doing Agartha/Hyperborea edits? The left copies it, only changing the symbolism from the Black Sun to Red Shambhala (And yes, I know the whole Red Shambhala thing is supposed to be a parody of that),
What the fuck are we doing in that department? Any suggestions?

Sliwa >>> Mamdani
Sliwa would make a much better mayor than Mamdani. What's going to happen is Mamdani is going to win, and then he'll either become another AOC/Bernie and sell out his base, or he'll just be an incompetent fuckup nepo baby. Either way NYC isn't going to change much. Sliwa has more of a connection to actual working class New Yorkers and knows how to play the game. He was shot by the mob and lived to tell the tale.

Is a self-driving car really an invention that society needs? We already have a machine that was fundamentally designed for a human operator, there is no entity in the universe more well-suited to the task of driving an automobile than a human being, but now we want to try to retrofit every car with some software that replaces the human driver and will never be as good as a human driver and for what? Is driving really such a laborious and horrible ordeal for humans to endure, having to sit in a comfortable air-conditioned chair and listen to music for a while? Is it really worth wiping out an entire category of jobs that humans depend on to survive, just to replace them with software that is not nearly as well suited to the task and will likely kill people with no accountability?

Humanity is facing a similar situation, power in the hands of a few thousands, yet billions of people can't free themselves. So the question remains: how comes the minority rule over the majority?
David Hume attempted to wisely answer such question:
"Nothing is more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than to see the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and to observe the implicit submission with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.
When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that as force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is, therefore, on opinion only that government is founded."
As such, to change society masses to change opinion. It is, therefore, political education the most important task of the revolutionary.
How comes the minority rule over the majority?

PKK leader Ocalan urges progress in Turkish peace process
"To progress to a positive phase, it is essential for everyone to act with sensitivity, seriousness and a sense of responsibility," Ocalan wrote in the message, which was published by a delegation from the pro-Kurdish DEM party that visited him in jail on Monday. "The basis for this must be to integrate the Kurdish question in all its dimensions into the country's legal framework and engage in a solid transition process."

Top Israeli trade union chief arrested as part of corruption probe
ISRAELI police detained several senior officials from the country’s main trade union federation, the Histadrut, on Monday, including its chairman Arnon Bar-David, as part of a major corruption investigation. Authorities said the probe, which has been ongoing for more than two years, involves allegations of bribery, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and tax offences.

Violent Maccabi fans were organised fighters 'linked to IDF', UK police found
the West Midlands Police assessment which led to the ban was based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match in Amsterdam last November. The Guardian reported on 21 October that the police assessment "concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club". Now, as the match approaches, MEE can reveal new details of the police assessment which have not been previously reported, and which raise further questions about claims made by government ministers.

Spain grants citizenship to descendants of civil war’s International Brigades
An estimated 32,000 volunteers from around the world joined the anti-fascist brigades during the civil war, including approximately 2,500 men and women from Britain and Ireland, of whom 530 were killed. At a ceremony in Madrid, the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said of the new citizens: “It will be an honour to call them compatriots.

If it wasn’t for that I would probably be in jail.”

Protesters could be jailed for six months for demonstrating outside politicians’ homes
Under proposed amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill, demonstrating outside the home of public office holders — where the intention is to “influence them in their role or an aspect of their private life” — will be made a criminal offence. Security minister Dan Jarvis claimed the measure was “serious but necessary and proportionate.”

DPD uses mass sackings against UK delivery workers standing up against pay cuts
According to reports by the BBC and Guardian, between 1,300 and 1,500 DPD drivers joined the nationwide stoppage organised via online chatrooms and forums. Even these initial stirrings of organised opposition were enough to strike fear into DPD which, like Amazon, has become a byword for sweatshop labour.

Tanzanian opposition claims security forces are secretly dumping bodies after election violence
Authorities declared a nationwide curfew and security forces cracked down on protests by firing live bullets and tear gas canisters. The main opposition party, Chadema, has claimed that more than 1,000 people were killed and said Tuesday that security forces were trying to hide the scale of the deaths by secretly disposing of the bodies.

Cameroon's security forces killed 48 civilians as they responded to protests against the re-election of President Paul Biya, the world's oldest ruler, according to data shared with Reuters on Tuesday by two U.N. sources.

Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing.

Material explanation for why so many pop stars are using blatant Nazi dogwhistles now?
Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter (among others) are pushing the YT woman tradwife trope and “clean girl” aesthetic which openly panders to MAGA and Nazis. I want to say it has to do with pop culture becoming more conservative overall in the era of Trump but there has to be more to it. No one did this during Trump’s first term eight years ago. What’s going on and should we be alarmed?

reminder that you will never be good at an artform you didn't start when you were underaged
yeah sure try as you want to draw or paint, but you'll never be as good as someone who was drawing basic things at 8 and furry porn at 16.
im trying to learn how to draw, just basic things from cups to pepper shakers, and yet i can't figure it out. i'm told to learn how to draw with "perspective" and then am hit with a lorry load fo terms and language used to describe concepts that are never elaborated on and are presumably expected to just be inherently "understood".
i'm basically fucked in this regard, and will live hte next 60 years of my life in misery that i cannot draw. no, "just git gud" won't work you fucking american; some people are born naturally good and are then given the environment to cultivate their skills. I was not. This is called "being shit out of luck", and is hard for narcissistic people to understand, because to them it's either always them 100% them or everyone else's fault.

Why does every single transfem character in media make me feel so miserable?
I know I should be happy that people like me are getting more representation but im not. Everytime I see a character like brigette from guilty gear im just reminded how ill never be as pretty as her, and how ill never be as confident and happy as her.
Even that one movie I Saw The TV Glow which every trans person was raving about made me feel worse than any other piece of media has ever made me feel before. It felt like the movie itself was mocking me for being too cowardly to transition, and basically telling me that I was gonna suffer and be unhappy forever until I die.

How are queer rights in China?
Asking as a transhumanist, I find it incredibly hard to find reliable resources on how it is in the PRC, and since the Chinese internet is fairly insular and I don't speak Chinese I don't really get the opportunity to talk with queer people from China much. I am aware they very much have their own subcultures and would like to learn about them if anyone has anywhere to point me.

With that being said, any business which is capable of expanding (not limited by logistics, communications, language restrictions, etc), would like to do so. That means the only difference between actual globalism and proto-globalism, which took shape in not only the early stages of capitalism but even the classical era (think Phoenicians, Babylonians, etc), is the technological means of projecting power. If economics are downstream from power politics, then capitalism as an economic system is downstream from owners of capital engaging in political maneuver.
Is capitalism essentially just proto-globalism?
My understanding is that the basis of capitalism is essentially the capacity for capitalists (owners of capital) to rise in power which is equal to or above the government under which they supposedly exist. It is the "deep state" of the economy. Yes, there is a class situation, but it is the capitalist class' unique ability to completely overwhelm the other classes with power that we define "capitalism" as.With that being said, any business which is capable of expanding (not limited by logistics, communications, language restrictions, etc), would like to do so.

Who do you think will be the next imperial hegemon after world war 3? (Assume we don't get world socialism yet).
My bet is on Australia or Brazil. Brazil has so much labor-power and has an okay amount of infrastructure. Australia is more developed but has no labor-force. On the other hand, Australia is anglophone and more geographically sovereign. Both Brazil and Australia have a large landmass and are likely to have a decent amount of fascists trained by the USA. But IMO if capitalists were to hideout from WW3 Australia would be a worse choice because Australia is set-up as a bulwark against China. It just all depends on how much Australia gets drawn into WW3.

Classic Leftypol was always Gender Critical, Classic Leftypol always rejected (and ruthlessly mocked) Tumblr conception of Gender and Gender ideology, the vast majority of Socialist socities rejected Gender Ideology, the current position of the Communist Party of China considers it a Social Contagion, most Marxist parties on earth are Gender Critical, most major Marxist outlets are Gender Critical, most 3rd and 5th wave Feminists are Gender Critical.
Gender ideology is reactionary horseshit that the mods just jerk off over because they are part of the Gender cult.

However, this process of national liberation is a bourgeois project. It is led by forces whose objective is not the abolition of class, but the creation of a national capitalist state. In this struggle, the internal class antagonism is temporarily masked by the unifying fight against a foreign oppressor.
We must therefore be clear: to expect communism to emerge organically from this process is a strategic and theoretical error. The outcome will be the consolidation of new, indigenous American, European and Russian haute bourgeoisie, not the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Antiimperialism/National Liberation is not Communism
A materialist analysis of the current epoch leads to a challenging conclusion: the path to dismantling imperialism does not directly lead to communism. The primary force capable of breaking the back of the current U.S.-led imperialist system is the independent capitalist development of the Global South. By building sovereign industrial and technological capacity, these nations can make their own economic exploitation unviable.However, this process of national liberation is a bourgeois project.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.
This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.
This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

pro-war socialists
how did fascists come out of the pro-war section of the italian socialist party? the argument for italy's entrance into ww1 seems to make sense from a socialist perspective, reads like most national liberation movements that come out now so how and why did they flip to such a reactionary degree ?

Books on the fabrication of the ukrainian identity
Most MSM, AI LLM trained on shit, resources online point to the fake narrative that ukraine (the borderlands, formerly wild lands or dikoe pole) has some kind of lineage tied to Kievan Rus and that it was not entirely a fabrication by the USSR. It is a fake nation that speaks a russian dialect and fabricated its own history and identity. Give me books to prove this right because it is the truth, give me books and resources, english russian whatever,

Still, why did libertarianism become strangely popular among various types of popular media figures, like comedians, filmmakers, and actors?

"The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein and Barak met numerous times between 2013 and 2017, with Barak visiting Epstein’s properties in Florida and New York approximately 30 times, including a 2014 private flight in Florida. Barak received $2.3 million from an Epstein-associated foundation between 2004 and 2006, and Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak in 2015.
Another connection stems from Epstein’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was a British media mogul alleged to have had links to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Some sources, including former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, have claimed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a “honey-trap” operation for Mossad to blackmail influential figures. A lawsuit by a woman identified as Jane Doe 200 alleged Epstein boasted of being a Mossad agent.
Epstein was also associated with the Wexner Foundation, which supports Jewish leadership and has ties to Israel. His financial backer, Leslie Wexner, was a member of the “Mega Group,” a collection of Jewish philanthropists, which some, like former NSA counterspy John Schindler, have speculated was linked to Israeli intelligence operations. Epstein reportedly invested in an Israeli startup, Reporty Homeland Security (later rebranded as Carbyne), connected to Israel’s defense industry, further fueling speculation."
Epstein = Israel, and Trump loves Israel
Epstein is connected to Israel, this is why Trump is covering it up. He doesn't want to risk the political fallout for Israel when people realize all of Epstein's clients were blackmailed and used as Israeli assets."The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM
This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great “Opiate of the Masses” that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new “People’s cities” were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/“Single-Family Homes” bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

Automotive DIY General
So I know pretty much nothing about working on cars because I'm a fag, the most I've ever done is change a tire. But the brake light came on the dashboard in my Toyota Highlander a few days ago and I took it to a brake shop who did a free inspection but quoted me $1500 for a brake job, so I decided to finally learn how to do this shit myself. The mechanic told me the rotors needs replacing but I looked at them and they seem perfectly fine to me and I haven't felt any wobbling or anything when braking, so I think it just needs new pads and brake fluid. I watched a couple of Youtube videos on how to change brake pads and brake fluid and I ordered a set of brake pads for my car from RockAuto for about $50 and a brake bleed kit from Amazon for $20 and I bought a quart of DOT3 brake fluid from a local Dollar General for $10. I have sets of metric wrenches and sockets from working on bicycles years ago and my neighbor has a floorjack and jackstands I can borrow so I think I have everything I need. I know to not let air bubbles into the brake line and to not put any stress on the brake line when taking off the caliper, is there anything else I should know? I don't want to screw this up and end up killing myself driving my car later.
