< The Cesspool of Late-Stage Narcissism Edition
💸🧘Thread for hellish discussion of the Progressive Reich and the smug, solar-paneled hypocrisy of the California Bourgeoisie and its Proletarian Gimps.🌞🍷
<Things will continue to be a performative hellscape where every solution is a branded, venture-capitalist-backed app for a problem they created, where people who preach "sustainability" own three homes and charge their Tesla from a grid powered by fossil fuels. The homeless population will be both a moral crisis and an eyesore to be hidden behind decorative fencing, while the legislature passes another groundbreaking non-binding resolution. The state will burn, flood, and drought simultaneously, and everyone will blame climate change while refusing to address the water-guzzling almond farms or their own lawn. The collapse will be a slow, Instagrammable descent into a smug, self-congratulatory dystopia.
<Death to the land of the fake woke, the exporters of insipid culture, the enabler of NIMBYs, the patron saint of pilates, the captains of crony capitalism, the barons of brunch, the lord of the lease-to-own luxury car, the guarantor of gentrification, the sultan of the startup, the prince of the pinkwashed police state

People give him shit because it all collapsed after he died, but then they'll go and act like the USSR was so much better when it collapsed around the very same time. Tito objectively did things wrong, but the USSR did too. Both got ratfucked by the US in the end.

Always thought he was underrated. And this quote is great whether he said it or not.People give him shit because it all collapsed after he died, but then they'll go and act like the USSR was so much better when it collapsed around the very same time.

For years I see the rightoid memes being more spot on despite their bullshit beliefs. In fact, the are even stealing all the positions of communists and the left on serious matter. And what do we produce? Material for the gutenberg era, or at best for the industrial revolution, 2 centuries ago

>By Cansu Oba
>A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.
>In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.
>What makes the current moment significant is that Öcalan is one of the central actors in an ongoing political process in Turkey. The “peace process”—carried out with the open support of the leader of the fascist party and through direct contact between Öcalan, a parliamentary commission, and state officials—has transformed the political environment. At the same time, a former co-chair and current MP of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s party, the DEM Party, declared that the party now effectively serves as the country’s main opposition. All of this signals that the emerging bourgeois political landscape provides fertile ground for the resonance between the Kurdish nationalist movement’s attacks on socialism and the bourgeois politics’ more traditional forms of anti-communism.
>Yet the PKK was never, in reality, a genuinely Marxist-Leninist organization. Founded in the late 1970s, a period in which the left dominated Turkey’s political and social arena, the PKK employed Marxist-Leninist terminology and drew from these values, but it was always, at its core, a national movement.
>Claims that Öcalan has “surpassed Marxism”—when considered together with his recent statement that he has been “waiting 50 years to be understood”—suggest a line of ideological continuity rather than a merely conjunctural shift.
>The Kurdish nationalist movement, now firmly situated somewhere between social democracy and nationalism within Turkey’s political landscape, has strengthened ties with various factions of the bourgeoisie, including some of Turkey’s most prominent capitalist families. Meanwhile, its distance from the republic’s founding principles and from secularism has frequently aligned it with the AKP government not only on current political issues but also on long-term regional strategy. The most recent peace process aimed to formalize this alignment into a strategic partnership tied to a broader regional imperialist project.
>Outside Turkey, however—especially in Europe—the movement’s image is refracted and softened within left-wing public opinion. One reason is certainly the complexity of Turkish politics, which is difficult to understand from the outside. But this is not the only factor.
>International exposure to Turkey has grown, and it is easier than ever to follow developments due to the country’s increasing visibility in global media. It is therefore hard to claim that these kinds of statements or texts are inaccessible to international audiences. Indeed, the movement’s arguments, as well as interviews with its representatives, frequently appear in European publications.
>And some realities speak for themselves. The passages quoted below illustrate this clearly. Before turning to them, however, it must be noted that this “misperception” is also reinforced by the European reading of Turkish politics exclusively through the lens of an “authoritarian Turkish government.” While not wholly inaccurate, this perspective often ignores or obscures class dynamics within Turkey and the AKP government’s alignment with Turkish capital. As a result, many international observers view the Kurdish nationalist movement’s struggle primarily through a liberal “freedom vs. authoritarianism” framework.
>Additionally, a long-standing romanticism within parts of the European left regarding the right of oppressed nations to self-determination—regardless of contemporary material conditions—has also contributed to this distortion, something the movement itself has instrumentalized.
>Yet during this same period, within the movement’s own press, articles are found accusing communist movements of “defending the system,” equating actually existing socialism with fascism, and claiming that Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist revolutions ultimately became instruments of systemic power:
>“The Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist revolutions—built through immense sacrifice and effort—ultimately became entangled with the system and even evolved into its strongest defenders. Lenin’s Soviets, under Stalin, transformed into a form of Soviet fascism, while Mao’s communism was pushed into becoming a major capitalist force. A socialism detached from society cannot become anything more than an extension of the existing system.
For this reason, new and innovative ideas must be developed within socialism, Marxism, Leninism, and Maoism. Socialism needs to be re-evaluated and re-socialized. A viable socialism must be freed from mistaken interpretations and outdated mentalities so that its social essence can emerge. A socialism that does not belong solely to a single class must be approached broadly and rooted within society as a whole.”
>The text goes on to declare that socialism does not belong to any particular class, and that Öcalan has brought new life to socialism:
>“Within this framework, Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) sought to identify the shortcomings of socialism and to change and transform it into a socially grounded model. By addressing the weaknesses of real socialism and scientific socialism, he introduced a new perspective and, through the development of democratic socialism, aimed to reveal socialism’s core essence.”
>And finally, the author “buries” scientific socialism in Rojava—ironically one of the closest U.S. and Israeli allies in the region and a convenient asset in their Middle East strategy—and elevates it as the “first step of democratic socialism”:
>“Rojava is the place where this new perspective on socialism has been introduced and developed. Indeed, Rojava represents the final stop of socialism and the first step of democratic socialism.”
>As noted earlier, these are not new arguments. Öcalan’s own writings over the years contain many such analyses. His letter to the PKK’s 12th Congress—held last May, where the organization decided to dissolve itself—provides an especially distilled summary of this worldview and, in effect, rewrites the history of class struggle:
>“Historical materialism should replace class struggle with ‘the commune.’ It is more accurate to revise Marxism through this concept. History is not a history of class struggle but of conflict between the state and the commune.”
>He continues:
>“The fundamental contradiction begins with the conflict between the masculine and feminine elements in society. It does not originate from class. Marx’s class-based conflict theory is the main reason real socialism collapsed.”
>He even criticizes Marx for “not being Marxist”:
>“Marx, to live with his wife, sells his coat. He says, ‘Let me write this book so it earns money and saves my marriage.’ Is this what Marxism is supposed to be?”
>These quotes demonstrate that Öcalan’s approach is neither new nor incidental: it has deep roots in the ideological history of the movement.
>Why, then, is it important to accurately understand the PKK’s non-Marxist character now? As stated at the outset, Öcalan’s analysis now fuels a new wave of anti-communist discourse in Turkey. His claim that the PKK was founded on the basis of “real socialism,” but became dysfunctional once real socialism collapsed and could not find a replacement, mirrors the government’s own narrative that absolves the state and blames “the left” for past conflicts. In response, the TKP Central Committee emphasized that the PKK was never a Marxist organization and stated that, at a moment when the PKK is contemplating its own dissolution, the government’s effort to shift historical responsibility onto revolutionaries and socialism will not be allowed to stand uncontested. The statement underscored that a nationalism interwoven with liberalism—and political alliances with the United States or Israel—cannot in any form be reconciled with Marxism.
>Assuming this approach—rooted in anarchism and other petty-bourgeois ideologies, such as liberalism—within the left spectrum represents, from a leftist standpoint, a form of self-negation. Let us recall that in the same letter, Öcalan references Kropotkin and states, “Lenin should have listened to him,” even though Lenin, in the Marxist-Leninist tradition we inherit, criticized Kropotkin and the anarchist currents of his time for petty-bourgeois romanticism and utopianism. In this light, it is no coincidence that the author of the initially cited article remarks that Rojava reminds him of Thomas More’s works.
>There are, of course, certain limits to treating these theses with full theoretical seriousness. This is largely because they do not form a coherent whole, but rather consist of arguments drawn from various theoretical backgrounds and combined in an eclectic manner. Nevertheless, this movement has a significant social base and is still regarded in many parts of the world as a progressive or socialist force. For this reason, we need to address this somewhat misleading image with greater care and clarity.
>If we accept that Marxism cannot be stretched to the point of severing it from its class foundations, it becomes evident that this nationalist movement—whose ideological roots lie in pre-Marxist and non-Marxist traditions—must be approached without romantic lenses. In terms of realpolitik, tolerance for alliances with the United States and Israel or participation in expansionist neo-Ottoman projects, and, on the ideological plane, tolerance for petty-bourgeois currents and the new wave of anti-communism, are matters for those who have already abandoned the target of socialism—not for those committed to it.

I quite enjoy kink and queer erotica but I don't think it's inherently revolutionary or anything. I do really like the weird fucked up kinky horror shit and I think there are quite a few gems but there's still a lot of trash. I think in general the media reflects broader cultural biases more than anything else.

a) less educated
b) disinclined to reading
c) low in traits like agreeableness and openness
d) lower in cultural capital and status. (though harder to show in a neat chart, it links to b. most readers will know what i mean if i just say they're uncool.)
and the frankly obvious-and-growing divide of political behavior by intelligence throughout the west, with better educated people voting for left/liberal parties and less educated people voting for nationalists and reactionaries.
in this sense, and only this sense, are the right correct to identify the left with liberals. both leftists and liberals are generally educated, enjoy reading, and high agreeableness/openness, the opposite of rightists.
what are the implications as relate to the idea that right-wing fake news and rage-bait are demand lead, with low-openness, low-agreeableness, poorly educated non-readers prefering to watch nonsense not because they're manipulated into it by outside forces, but because this is just what they like
what are the implications for left-wing organizing strategy, which tends to resist trying to appeal directly to the interests of educated knowledge workers (or, indeed, young proletarianized female service workers with degrees) because of the aesthetic pull of historical industrial mass-movements?
what are the implications in the longer run, given that higher education enrolment levels have generally been rising over time, such that more than 50% of British young people now go into further education by age 30? what are the implications of this trend reversing, as is apparently happening in the US?
a small sub-set of rightists like Richard Hanania are open about their own side's deficiencies (which is helpful, because the high-agreeability left would never say something as vulgar as "Our opponents are just plain stupid", so it's nice for a low-agreeability rightist to put the evidence up themselves)

but even in his case, he now regrets voting for Trump because he thought that putting someone like Elon Musk in would raise the average intelligence of the administration, rather than the right successfully pulling Musk down to their level. in a certain sense, he's just a neoliberal with conservative aesthetic preferences.

note how degree voting is a very strong predictor of voting for canada's liberals (post neoliberal reform in the 1980s) or, more gently, the left-leaning NDP. note how in the early 1980s, having a degree made one weakly less likely to vote NDP, while now it makes one more likely. note how the NDP remains popular with poorer voters, while the Conservatives have completely and utterly bled support with degree holders since the 1980s.
>college SJWs will always betray the left, look at Corbyn and Bernie and how he was undermined by idpol!!
in the 2019 UK election, despite massive propaganda portraying Corbyn as an antisemite (and previous attempts to paint him as a sexist, etc), he won 42% of the vote with degree holders (against something like 20% for the Conservatives), while amongst the poorly educated something like 55% voted Conservative. if only degree holders could vote, Corbyn would've won a Tony Blair sized majority. on the flip side, if only the poorly educated could vote, the conservatives would've won something like a national-government tier majority.
>voting doesn't matter, we're revolutionaries!!
it is not that voting matters, it is what voting shows about the voters that is interesting. if you're trying to guess who'd jump over to your vanguard party, it's helpful to know that poorly educated people are running over to reactionaries at top speed while more educated people are moving the opposite direction. if you're a highly educated book-enjoying, highly agreeable, highly open, generally cool sort of person you're not going to win over a MAGA voter by pandering to one or two of their obsessions while all of their demographic traits are hostile to yours.
Politics, Education, Personality.
What are the implications of research regularly showing that right-wingers are generallya) less educated
b) disinclined to reading
c) low in traits like agreeableness and openness
d) lower in cultural capital and status. (though harder to show in a neat chart, it links to b. most readers will know what i mean if i just say they're uncool.)
and the frankly obvious-and-growing divide of political behavior by intelligence throughout the west, with better educated people voting for left/liberal parties and less educated people voting for nationalists and reactionaries.
in this sense, and only this sense, are the right correct to identify the left with liberals. both leftists and liberals are generally educated, enjoy reading, and high agreeableness/openness, the opposite of rightists.
what are the implications as relate to the idea that right-wing fake news and rage-bait are demand lead, with low-openness, low-agreeableness, poorly educated non-readers prefering to watch nonsense not because they're manipulated into it by outside forces, but because this is just what they like
what are the implications for left-wing organizing strategy, which tends to resist trying to appeal directly to the interests of educated knowledge workers (or, indeed, young proletarianized female service workers with degrees) because of the aesthetic pull of historical industrial mass-movements?
what are the implications in the longer run, given that higher education enrolment levels have generally been rising over time, such that more than 50% of British young people now go into further education by age 30? what are the implications of this trend reversing, as is apparently happening in the US?
a small sub-set of rightists like Richard Hanania are open about their own side's deficiencies (which is helpful, because the high-agreeability left would never say something as vulgar as "Our opponents are just plain stupid", so it's nice for a low-agreeability rightist to put the evidence up themselves)
https://www.richardhanania.com/p/coping-with-low-human-capital

but even in his case, he now regrets voting for Trump because he thought that putting someone like Elon Musk in would raise the average intelligence of the administration, rather than the right successfully pulling Musk down to their level. in a certain sense, he's just a neoliberal with conservative aesthetic preferences.

The chimera ant arc was some hyped up trash
Togashi might aswell have given enough on coherent nen scaling with post rose meruem and adult gon. The nen abilities were the worst addition to the system since togashi never clarified actual rules to them so we got people pulling stuff like phasing through objects or turning into vehicles of all things. Then there’s the moronic decision to make the chimera ants sympathetic by giving them arbitrary arcs when the dudes were trying to kill five million people for no reason—but hey this went on for so long in the arc I guess the audience was supposed to accept that the ants were partially human. Togashi could’ve done so much with the dark continent and ngl but he just doesn’t. Personally I don’t care for the blood and gore—this manga was always pretty violent. What did stand out was how badly kite was handled. It’s like how oda just killed off ace so quickly after his introduction despite him looking up to be a really big contributor to the cast. Also I hate how leorio and kurapika were just entirely sidelined for three straight arcs in a row—mind you, the chimera ant arc alone is 116 chapters long.

Some of the greatest art of all time has been religiously motivated. But the question of Christianity specifically is a big one. On one hand all manner of brown people are more sincerely christian than a lot of white people have ever been. It might be the one thing saving Africa right now!
But on the other hand The first Roman Empire & Greek empire were polytheistic & they might have achieved a civilizational peak that surpasses the situation we live in right now. Christianity is very homophobic & a huge portion of Europe/UK demographics are atheist & seem to be some of the happiest nations on earth. Christianity might even be the reason that the Roman Empire fell & is responsible for a lot of really bad imperialism & colonialism.
What am I supposed to make of it? Jesus was surely a good man, no? The word of god has saved homeless, sick, and morally corrupt. Where does the justification to do evil come from when people read this?

Probably my most "Idpol" opinion is that on some subconscious level, people pay more attention to what’s happening in Palestine partly because Palestinians are perceived as more Caucasian or white-adjacent compared with the victims of crises in places like Sudan, Myanmar, or Somalia. Again I don’t think most people make this distinction intentionally or out of active racism, it’s just a bias that many groups, including white people and Arabs across the political spectrum, end up participating in without realizing it.

I recently read through two of Caleb Maupin’s books (The American Years of Lead and the one on Trotsky and the Neocons). Maupin asserts that intellectual elites (PMC) are heavily into salon culture and edgy things that have aristocratic connotations. For instance, intellectual elites (PMC) are the ones who hold an overly-romantic view of revolution and romanticize terrorism and political violence. They’re the ones that conjure up images of a big apocalyptic revolution similar to the Christian rapture whereby every little aspect of the existing society is destroyed. He also heavily emphasized that the PMC hates the genuine working/class, because they see them as a threat to their power, so they deliberately manipulate working-class movements in order to offset and eventually dissolve them. Plus, they love sexual promiscuity and use “leftism” in order to promote it.
Last night, I watched a video on Sublation Media between Doug Alain and Chris Cutrone. Cutrone made the point that the PMC romanticize terrorism, mass destruction involving killing and raping, and the “noble death” because the PMC are “gangsters.” Not gangsters the way the ultra-rich capitalists are, but gangsters nonetheless.
My understanding is, intellectual elites love these things like violence and terror for the exact same reason they love modern “art” like Jackson Pollock and jazz and rap “music”: it’s all deeply irrational. They reject historical progress, favour the lumpen and those on the margins of society over the genuine proletariat, and promote destruction because they hate rationality. All of the things they promote as “leftism” are actually deeply aristocratic values: it’s the aristocracy that loves violence, sexual indulgence and a rejection of logic and linear time. I see it like this: intellectual elites, being Nietzscheans at heart, hate rationality and linear progress because they see those things as boxes that limit their ability to indulge, but also the fact that they already have their privileged positions and don’t need a proletarian revolution to have their basic needs met. In fact, a proletarian revolution would mean they lose their privileges and end up working in the fields. That’s also why they favour the lumpen: a “leftist” revolution lead by the lumpen would pose zero threat to them. After all, the marginalized find allies in college professors promoting queer studies and doctors handing out narcan, do they not?
Am I right or is there more to it?
Psychology of the PMC
I’m honestly curious to know what exactly makes the PMC (university professors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, artists, those types of people) adhere to the belief system they do. Namely, the psychology behind what’s often termed as “petit-bourgeois radicalism.”I recently read through two of Caleb Maupin’s books (The American Years of Lead and the one on Trotsky and the Neocons).

ANTI-KARMA ACTION
The hindu karma that has propagandized itself claims to be a great equalizer in a world that is in obsolescence not equal. Karma only serves as a justification for ungranted suffering. The concept of karma is injustice trying to justify itself as contempt. Some of the worst humans get away with their barbaric acts while others are punished and destroyed for their tiny mistakes.

Basically we combine the political philosophy of anarchism with ancient greek daimons/spirits/deities and internet tulpas with occult practices from Gnosticism. Of course this is only my own version of esoteric anarchism, there are countless variations of other types of esoteric anarchism.
Feel free to contribute esoteric anarchist texts and vids or media in general of your own making or from someone else all are welcome!

There's no thread for service/fast food workers specifically and I just wanna bitch
I work at this combination fast food place, kfc & taco bell, somehow it always feels like everyone who comes here hasn't ordered fast food in like 20 years because they somehow ask for shit from other restaurants or shit we haven't had since the 90s

I've also read Fighting In The Streets, a few groups communiques e.g. BOAK, and some history of the IRA, especially their mortar campaign.
I've also seen a few guides for police bomb technicians and Hollywood special effects teams.
Improvised explosives and weapons
Literature and others sources for reading on the history, manufacture, and use of improvised weapons. The TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook is usually recommended as the most comprehensive and practical but was curious about other sources people have read.I've also read Fighting In The Streets, a few groups communiques e.g. BOAK, and some history of the IRA, especially their mortar campaign.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.
its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)
https://www.valsalia.com/
Pretty interesting world building.
Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.
On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.
For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

But the establishment is in decline. They have to watch as all their worthless ideas (like new-atheism, and moral relativism) all fall into the waste bin of history while Jungs ideas get stronger and stronger.
Jung's major beliefs is that a primary goal of every human is/ought to be the process of individuation (the processing of becoming a self)–which he wrote on the backdrop of rising collectivistic pressures via shifting global geopolitics. For Jung, there is a distinction between ego and self, where ego is a narrow band of consciousness that exists primarily in a space of tension between unconscious factors (which includes shadow) and social presentation (persona).
He further believed that people share a collective unconscious, which is that we inherit cultural motifs and symbols that then get continuously represented across different cultures and time; however, they manifest in a way relative to the culture of the time. So, 'Hero' may be an archetype, meaning stories involving heroes transcend cultures and time, but 'Batman' is a specific manifestation that emerged in American culture in the past century.
One archetype then is the 'shadow', which represents unconscious elements that are in conflict with our ego ideal (how we think we should behave or be–especially in front of others). These can include unfulfilled desires, fears, perceived weaknesses, shame-inducing idiosyncrasies, etc. The idea is that the 'self' in the Jungian conceptualization involves actively seeking these archetypes out via either psychological analysis or a process Jung calls Active Imagination. In either case, the general idea is to actively confront these aspects of our unconscious and integrate the awareness–and the process by which the awareness was obtained, into our conscious understanding of self.
Jung's ideas overlap with the likes of Jacques Vallee in terms of the intersection of psychological concepts and the mystical. Myth and folklore were of prominent sources of information in Jung's formation of his ideas; however, there is an impact of poor translation and creative liberties taken in sources Jung used unwittingly.
Any Jungian insights are welcome

More than 60 families from the Sitio Igiban Neigborhood Association suffered from the company’s harassment. Many residents could not go to school or their workplaces because of the barrier. While residents were distressed by the company’s harassment, company personnel ruthlessly cut down their trees and plants. The company also continued with its construction actitivies and hauling materials into the sitio.

China’s official media calls for end to name-and-shame campaign against grass-roots cadres
The article said this “label-based evaluation … smacked of sensationalism” and warned that it was a barrier to properly understanding the dilemmas and problems grass-roots officials faced. For example, it said, those accused of lying flat might not necessarily be lazy but could be suffering from physical and mental exhaustion as a result of an unfair workload. Alternatively, it said, they might be worried that officials who took the initiative were at greater risk of making mistakes and being punished as a result. It also expressed sympathy for those accused of lying on their side, saying they might face an overly strict authorisation process or have “nitpicking” superiors.

Australian state Labor government to impose life sentences on children as young as 14
The laws target children from 14 to 17 charged with offences including home invasion, carjacking and causing injury. Under the current Children’s Court system, the maximum sentence for any offence is three years. Under the new regime, children will be dragged before the County Court, where the same offences will carry the threat of adult penalties up to life imprisonment. The basic legal principle that detention should be a “last resort” for children—enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child—will be effectively abolished. Judges will instead be directed to prioritise “community safety,” a deliberately vague formulation that subordinates children’s futures to the political requirements of a government seeking to posture as “tough on crime.”

French lawmakers approve taxation part of contested social security budget
Lecornu had warned on Thursday that France risked losing control of social security spending as lawmakers from centrist Horizons and Socialists balked at supporting the bill. Now that the vote has passed, they will hold a final vote on the whole bill – a major part of France's overall public budget – on Tuesday.

German coalition passes disputed pension package, ending rift
Earlier this week, Germany’s far-left Die Linke (The Left) party announced its lawmakers would abstain from the vote, effectively ensuring its passage by reducing the overall number of votes needed to pass the pension legislation. Still, Merz continued to try to secure the support of young conservatives in order to avoid the politically damaging impression that his coalition was dependent on indirect far-left support to get the package over the line.

On social media platforms, Abu Nassira claimed that his militia has roughly 30 members who "rejected oppression and suffering and decided to fight against Hamas," and that he hopes to expand their influence, leveraging his popularity among certain Gaza circles. However, Abu Nassira's family issued a statement disavowing his actions.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

But this isn't gender dysphoria, and non-binary people often don't take any hormones and, after a couple of years, become normal adults.
Yet, they often speak on behalf of the LGBT community, and many liberals support this, even though, in reality, they're cisgender heterosexuals with youthful maximalism and some personality disorders.

Non-binary and other invented genders aren't truly gender identities. If you look at what they post, you'll realize they're primarily experiencing a coming-of-age complex, wanting to return to their pre-pubescent, gender-neutral childhood.But this isn't gender dysphoria, and non-binary people often don't take any hormones and, after a couple of years, become normal adults.

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"
This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border.

>Transitional Council chief says Abraham Accords will be key to stability after Gaza war
Declaring an independent southern Yemeni state would pave the way for entering the Abraham Accords, the deputy chairman of Yemen's Presidential Council Aidarous Al Zubaidi told The National in an interview.
>The president of the Southern Transitional Council said all the conditions were in place for statehood and added that secession would allow the south to make its own foreign policy decisions, including the option of joining the Abraham Accords.
>“Before the events in Gaza, we were advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said. “If Gaza and Palestine regain their rights, the Accords will be essential for stability in the region. When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions and I believe we will be part of these accords.”
>Yemen's eight-member Presidential Council leads the anti-Houthi, internationally recognised government in exile in Aden. The secessionist Southern Transitional Council holds three of those eight seats.
>Mr Al Zubaidi framed independence not just as a local aspiration but as part of a wider commitment to stability in the region. “We support the two-state solution – a Yemeni state in the north and in the south – and a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” he said. “Self-determination is a right. All people have the right to determine their future.”

and no wonder /tttt/ thrives with how fucking milquetoast a bunch of you are yet go around with radlib talking points with next to no sense of class consciousness.
seriously the 2 sides of the white transexual are either annoying r/traa radlib or racist r/4tran grifter?
it has legitimately made me rep at times and it hurts, and i'm not even in the US.

>One of the best-known positions of J. Posadas was his enthusiasm for nuclear war. More precisely, at the height of the Cold War, Posadas thought that nuclear war was inevitable. His idea was that rather than wait for the forces of capitalism, the nuclear-armed socialist states should launch a preemptive attack that would destroy the nuclear capabilities of capitalist countries. Additionally, he believed that this sort of catastrophe could spark the world revolution
More like J. Basado - Explain why you aren't a posadist NOW!
>After destruction commences, the masses are going to emerge in all countries – in a short time, in a few hours. Capitalism cannot defend itself in an atomic war except by putting itself in caves and attempting to destroy all that it can. The masses, in contrast, are going to come out, will have to come out, because it is the only way to survive, defeating the enemy… The apparatus of capitalism, police, army, will not be able to resist… It will be necessary to organise the workers' power immediately>One of the best-known positions of J.

On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.
Rust
What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious.

Practically all leftist "propaganda edits" have been filtered towards slop copies of whatever the far right has been doing for the past few years;
The right starts making little dark age edits with World War 2 movies? The left copies that, only changing it from the German sided perspective to the Soviet,
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?

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.
>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.
>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.
>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.
>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.
>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single Atari console owner, plus another two million people, to purchase a copy.
>Now, fast forward to 2025. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered sold nine million copies according to the parent company, Bethesda Studios. Many of these units were sold online without the company having to pay for manufacturing and distributing a physical game disc. Despite this and the fact that it opened up to universal praise from critics and players, the studio who did the bulk of development is being hit with mass layoffs.
>Back in 1983, Atari lost money on Pac-Man and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial partly because, in that era, developers were financially responsible for buying back unsold games from retailers. But that wasn’t enough to crash the industry – the problem wasn’t with retailers or gamers, but with the executives. In 1982, Atari’s parent company Warner Communications projected that revenues would only increase fifteen percent, down from fifty percent earlier in the year. This prompted a panic among investors, who sold off their stocks and withdrew investment money.
>Video games are capital intensive and require a skilled workforce to produce, with the average game developer needing a bachelor’s degree in computer science or software engineering. Many developers experience what’s called “crunch,” a time when mismanagement by corporate executives causes workers to go through mandatory 60-hour to 80-hour work weeks, often without overtime pay or sick days. According to Jason Schrier in the New York Times, at least half of industry employees have gone through crunch and, as a result, have experienced serious physical and mental health problems such as ulcers, memory loss, severe anxiety and PTSD.
>When we are children, we love playing games in which we are super spies, Italian plumbers or magic heroes on a quest. As children we’re also taught that capitalism is about being successful and making money.
>Gaming journalist Stephanie Sterling once said, “Games are not too expensive to make – executives are too expensive to pay.” The people who make all the money in the games industry don’t do any of the actual programming, writing or art behind the games. They assume none of the risk and their whims and projections are based off of nothing but gut feelings that can destroy the lives of thousands.
>The lie of capitalism, which the video games industry lays bare, is that it’s not enough to be successful. Even if you make money, you and your job will be destroyed because investors will forever expect astronomical profits, and mass layoffs are the only way to give the illusion of eternal growth.

Gen z and fascism on social media
It's old news that fascism is on the rise but I can't be the only one that is suspecting there's a deliberate push by social media companies at this point? Twitter might be obvious but I'm also seeing more and more things on places like youtube getting tons of views that wouldn't have been allowed to stay up a couple years ago, picrel for example. Instagram reels being full of nazi content and its comment sections being bombarded with racism is something that's become infamous but that seemed to have happened almost overnight.

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?

How do I cope with the fact that i'm probably genderfluid?
For years now ive constantly been conflicted with my gender, wanting to be a girl but also wanting to just be a femboy. Ive been told by many that im likely some type of non-binary, but I dont want to be. I just either want to be either a normal trans girl or a femboy, but if I identify as genderfluid then I fear that people wont see me as a real transgirl or as a real femboy, so it would be like I just dont get to be either.
God, whats wrong with me? Why couldnt I have just been born as a normal gender-binary-fitting person? I dont want to be genderfluid.

Crisis and division grip Bolivia’s new right-wing government
During the election campaign, Lara famously declared: “I’m the guarantee—if [President] Rodrigo Paz doesn’t deliver, I’ll confront him.” True to his word, he has turned against the president, denouncing him as a “liar” and “cynic” for bowing to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Lara now accuses Paz of betraying voters by adopting the same austerity policies he attributed to his even more right-wing electoral rival, former Bolivian President Jorge Tuto Quiroga—spending cuts, tax breaks for the wealthy, and hollow relief for the poor.

Crisis and division grip Bolivia’s new right-wing government
During the election campaign, Lara famously declared: “I’m the guarantee—if [President] Rodrigo Paz doesn’t deliver, I’ll confront him.” True to his word, he has turned against the president, denouncing him as a “liar” and “cynic” for bowing to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Lara now accuses Paz of betraying voters by adopting the same austerity policies he attributed to his even more right-wing electoral rival, former Bolivian President Jorge Tuto Quiroga—spending cuts, tax breaks for the wealthy, and hollow relief for the poor.

Poverty in Latin America is declining, but not evenly
A quick footnote in the report reveals a more accurate picture of the region. In reality, across the vast majority of Latin America and the Caribbean, poverty reduction has stagnated, and it’s only the progress of Mexico and Brazil, especially Mexico, that is leading to an overall reduction throughout Latin America.

Workers demand implementation of minimum wage in Pakistan
The protesters shouted slogans against the government claiming it has failed to address the basic concerns of the workers in the country, most of whom are struggling to fulfill their basic needs despite working overtime. Protesters accompanied by a large number of women and children also raised the issue of rising prices of basic commodities such as wheat flour which make it even more difficult for them to live a decent life on such low salaries.

if you are truly a communist you believe in one world goverment and have no shame in saying so, nations are fake, race is fake, culture evolves and the next step of evolution is consolidation of all goverments and peoples.
if you feel like the mixing of all cultures is wrong those are reactionary feelings that you need to examine and deal with, the same for any belief in 'sovereignty'. also, squids are cool as fuck.

Overview of the Historical Formation of the Haitian Nation
2nd Edition
Editor's Note
Les Éditions DAMI is pleased to present to the public, more than fifty years after the first edition, the re-edition of the book Overview of the Historical Formation of the Haitian Nation as it was written by Étienne D. Charlier in 1954. This book is an essential work for anyone who wants to understand the historical foundations of the Haitian Nation.
May the youth find answers here to their questions and reflect powerfully on the History of our country.
Our thanks go to Mrs. Ghislaine Rey Charlier, widow of Etienne D. Charlier, and to her sons André and Max, for the confidence shown in Les Éditions DAMI and for all the documents and information provided.

Biography of the Author
Étienne Charlier was born in Aquin on June 12, 1904. Son of Danton Charlier and Gervrine Girault, both originally from l'Anse-à-Veau. Upon the death of his mother in 1906, Étienne was adopted by the couple Numa Cassy, whose wife was born Louise Charlier, who brought him to l'Anse-à-Veau. He remained there until September 1916. His studies, which began at the École Nationale de l'Anse-à-Veau, continued the same year in Port-au-Prince at the Petit Séminaire Collège St-Martial. Equipped with his second part baccalaureate, he entered the Port-au-Prince Law School directed by Dean Léon Nau. He obtained his law degree in 1927. He took an active part in the founding of la Nouvelle Ronde, which he managed after Antonio Vieux until the review ceased publication in April 1926.
He left for the Northern United States in September 1928 where he continued his legal studies at Columbia University. Then he went to Paris (France) in 1929, where he began a Doctorate in Law. He defended his thesis, On the arrangement of the principle of individual Freedom of Labor in French Law on May 30, 1932, at the Faculty of Law in Paris.
He returned to his native country in September of the same year, delivering lectures on the Planned Economy, an idea which he vigorously supported. He befriended Jacques Roumain and his group, of which he was a member. He published a pamphlet for an anti-fascist conference entitled Fascism and Nazism or Scientific Socialism, which he had been unable to deliver at the Port-au-Prince Law School premises as a member of the Association of Law Students following a ministerial decision prohibiting the use of that location for conferences that were not strictly legal (1934).
Étienne Charlier actively opposed the dictatorship of Sténio Vincent. Nearly a year after Élie Lescot’s accession to the presidency of the Republic, he was appointed professor at the National Law School of Port-au-Prince, where he was inaugurated on February 27, 1942. He taught Private International Law first, then Civil Procedure until January 9, 1946, the date he submitted his resignation in solidarity with the general strike and student-led political protest movement. He was one of the principal leaders of this movement, being one of the leading figures of the Democratic Front. Clandestinely founded in April 1945, it was a major force in the overthrow of the dictatorship. He was part of the Public Safety Committee which reconstituted itself as the Unified Democratic Front upon the announcement of Élie Lescot’s resignation on January 11, 1946. He collaborated with the newspaper La Nation upon the resumption of its publication by Max L. Hudicourt on January 22, 1946. He is one of the signatories of the Act of Constitution of the Popular Socialist Party (P.S.P.) and a member of the first provisional bureau of this party. For the P.S.P., he ran a campaign for Senate in the general elections of 1946, which he lost.
He was reinstated at the National Law School of Port-au-Prince by the Military Executive Committee.
He is one of the signatories for the P.S.P. of the manifesto of the National Defense Committee, which earned him 15 days in prison and his dismissal as a professor in May-June 1946. He continued to militantly serve in the P.S.P. and in the party's organ, La Nation, as manager or director. He served as Secretary of the P.S.P. from March 1, 1947, to December 27, 1950, the day the Party was banned. A practicing lawyer at the Port-au-Prince Bar, he wrote several articles for the inter-union newspaper “Auberge”.
Étienne Charlier was one of the leaders of the fight against the dictatorship of Paul Magloire and of the general strike that forced the latter to leave the country. After the fall of Magloire, he fought for the establishment of a democratic government and wrote numerous articles in the newspapers of the time. He was a Founding Member of the Haitian Democratic Alliance, a Member of the Steering Committee of the Alliance and its newspaper l'Haïtien libéré.
Arrested in November 1957, he spent 37 days in prison at "Jolibois”. He had to hide four times thereafter; the last time from November 22 to December 22, 1960.
Étienne Charlier died suddenly on December 27, 1960.
Overview of the Historical Formation of the Haitian Nation
I'm presently working on a translation of "Overview of the Historical Formation of the Haitian Nation" or "Aperçu sur la Formation Historique de la Nation Haïtienne''. This is considered one of the definitive works on Haitian history, written by Haitian communist Étienne Charlier. As far as I'm aware it has never been publicly archived or translated into english before. I might post more sporadically as I go.Overview of the Historical Formation of the Haitian Nation
