I know someone who's a genuine gambling addict and it's a mindset I just don't understand. Gambling makes me anxious personally, so I don't do it. I just don't get how people can spend so much money on it.

I am not going to buy into this framing that it is not heckin legal!!! Okay so then all that other shitty ass bombing is "legal" under some bullshit authority do it is A-OK? Naw idc about these semantics. It's wrong not due to some law it's wrong due to it being a sovereign nation point blank nothing else to it.

Bombing Libya and somalia is ok cause le heckin war designation says war legal nerd!! Naw FUCK YOU bitch. I am not buying into this legal semantics shit to say trump is wrong cause le heckin law. Cause then if they get this stupid legal approval then trump can bomb Venezuela boats so it's heckin wholesome? Naw FUCK you idc about these laws.

I reject this premise and getting into this semantic debate. The reason I disapprove of this is not legality

>Talks Between Adams and Trump Adviser Center on Saudi Ambassadorship

Politico, NYT, NY1, and NYP sources confirming that Eric Adams is being offered Saudi Arabia ambassador role to drop out of new York city mayor race by trump.

>Close advisers have been crafting a plan for President Trump to nominate Mayor Eric Adams to be ambassador to Saudi Arabia, in an effort to end the mayor’s long-shot campaign for re-election in New York City, according to four people familiar with the discussions.


>Steve Witkoff, a billionaire real estate investor and adviser to Mr. Trump, has actively pursued the matter in recent days, meeting personally with Mr. Adams earlier this week in Florida and speaking with other people close to him.


>Mr. Adams has traveled to the kingdom, something he noted on Thursday at an unrelated event celebrating the 1,500th anniversary of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, where the mayor praised people of Muslim faith.


>“And when I visited Saudi Arabia, when I visited Jordan, when I visited Oman, when I visited part of the African diaspora, and watched the Muslim population there, they truly believe in peace,” he said. “They believe in forgiveness, and they believe in the prosperity of the countries they are in.”


>Mayor Eric Adams is set to head to Washington, DC, next week for a White House meeting to discuss his future — as top aides to President Trump are weighing finding Hizzoner a cushy landing spot in the administration, sources told The Post.


>“Eric Adams knows he can’t win [in November] and is exploring his options,” a source close to the mayor said of the impending meeting. “Does he want to be an ambassador? Sure, but that has to be appointed by the president and the president has not asked him.”

so long as its an avenue which strictly proletarian interests mobilize collectively and collide against the bourgeoisie, it has to be of interest to communists too

>It was very obvious too the intended grift was for Trump to lose the election, and then peel away his dissatisfied voters to join the ACPs "MAGAcommunism".
There needs to be a term for this, because it's not "fell for it again," but it's like some pseud thing that's very common among self-styled dissidents who get enthralled by ideology. Richard Spencer was like this. They will shill and vote for a politician while thinking they're playing 5D chess or going to "use" him somehow. It's some hyper-intellectualized thing that appears clever, and shh'yeah…. when Trump fails, his supporters will become Nazis and make Richard the Führer because he's so smart and clever and read Heidegger and a NEW EMPIRE WILL ARISE. Then his 19-year-old alt-right fan was like waow based. They might also delude themselves into believing the average MAGA guy has the same relationship to that as an ideology as they do to their meme ideologies, so they can substitute for it.

They think they're so fucking clever. In reality, it's DEEPLY IDIOTIC to do this play-pretend Leninism in relationship to American electoral politics. These institutions are designed from the get-go to fuck you over if you attempt to do this. They really underestimate the system and how deeply conservative it really is. It doesn't reward this. It punishes it. It's probably going to reward Gavin Newsom who is cynical enough to understand that what Democrats will want in 2028 is just winning and not caring about anything else until later. Then you look around at the MAGA coalition, there are people who are like "I thought Trump was gonna release the Epstein files" and huhhh whut (?) and then arrest Zelensky because he sucked Hunter Biden's cock or something. Man, I dunno, but it doesn't matter. What most of them care about is winning and Trump won. There's a guy who lives down the street from me who flies a Trump flag and he's still flying it.

<It is an eternal verity in the history of mankind that when any structure or institution, in its aspect as a repository for the dedication and aspirations of human beings, becomes disestablished by whatever means, then a residual loyalty and affection will endure upon the foundations of all that has been invested in spiritual and intellectual terms, material outlay notwithstanding.


<To Scottish Patriots, whose key focus remains fixed upon a Nation state which has, to all outward appearances, ceased to exist several hundred years ago, such loyalty and affection are patent assumptions of everday life. Ostensibly destroyed by internal and external enemies in 1707, Scotland is lent a continuing and substantive existence by the nourishment of our ongoing patriotic commitment and constant political vigilance. The sovereign state which was Scotland seems to have ceased to exist, and in significant areas of human structuration it largely has. However, as a beautiful, sacred and eternal concept, Scotland has remained very much alive in the hearts and minds of its patriot devotees with the material reflection of all these poignant human desires about to yield the sweetest fruit known to mankind. We believe in Scotland's hidden powers: the present is theirs, but all the past and all the future is ours.


<Nor is this present humiliating settlement the first occasion on which our people have looked upon the outrage to their country. Between the time of Alexander III and the accession of The Liberator, Robert Bruce, there lived a generation who knew only destruction and loss, an era of unmitigated national grief, the time of the incomparable William Wallace, cornerstone and slaughtered hero whose shining example will live forever in the consciousness of our whole people.

"Degeneration" is probably the right word. Part of the problem is that the main opposition leader in the last election was a neoliberal freak, but Maduro has taken a bizarre turn.

From what I've read from people who were Chavez-adjacent in the 2000s, the Chavista coalition was based on an alliance of unions, the military, left-wing social movements, and informal/slum organizations called colectivos. Now all that's left is the military and their preferred colectivos. Most of the left social movements left a long time ago. Maduro has also really hammed up playing to Evangelical Christians (this is quite strange) that used to support the old opposition while devolving social functions to them and giving them gibs.

Also I have to post pics of Rafael Lacava, the governor of Carbobo, because he has a whole Dracula gimmick.

Left socdems trapped in their own laberinth.
The economy is pegged to a commodity whose primer market is the US, their money is pegged to the dollar and played like a fiddle by the speculators, it has been sanctioned to hell and back and yet they stand somehow and even help the Cubans.
I remember the time where trots called for a new revolution but their government instead opted for a soft(?) dollarization (in the private sector) and diversification (from Turkey to China, all of them are welcomed) while supporting the coops and other enterprises.
It is a hodgepodge, a hodgepodge with a ref flag that spits to Amerikkka bimonthly

>>2461620
Corrupt socdem government wearing the skin of Chavismo and using the USAno threat as an excuse to veer further right.
Still, light-years better than the US backed opposition. That nonetheless they will never truly tackle because being frenemies with the USA has become a pillar to remain in government.

Every veneco scum should be demoralized to death, I stand with Maduro.

I wanna hear leftypol thoughts on this quote, do you agree with Sen. Kaine, or not?

I personally as a libertarian (who thinks religion should be fully separated from the state) do not agree with this sentiment, because if we have GOD given rights, then no government can just take them away.

But if we have government given rights, well the government can just take them away.

Imo It’s wild that congressional members feel comfortable comparing the founders of this country to the Iranian government. Jefferson wasn't running Tehran. Jefferson would consider many things that trump is doing as unconstitutional overreach, from sending the military to our cities, to his interventionist foreign policy and more.

What do you think?

They’re hardcore against foreign involvement, and now Israel is front and center in that.
Do you see these libertarians as preferable to MAGA/neocons? On one hand, their economic agenda is even more hostile to leftist politics. On the other, their anti-war, anti-NATO, and anti-bureaucratic stance lines up with some left positions. Or also for example, they're against the surveillance state, patriot acts, etc.

Also worth noting: libertarians outside the U.S. tend to be different. American libertarians are much more radically non-interventionist than their counterparts abroad. For example, Milei loves Ukraine and Israel, NATO, etc. while Massie, Ron Paul, and even the official Libertarian Party is against financing/government supporting either country, and all of them wanna move away from NATO.

Turkey denies role in alleged plot to kill Israeli minister Ben Gvir
According to a report by Ynet, one of the suspects had moved to Turkey several years ago, where he came into contact with Hamas members. “During the war in Gaza, he allegedly devised the plan to assassinate Ben Gvir using armed drones,” the report said. The suspects reportedly received around $2,000 from contacts in Turkey to purchase drones and other equipment. Police told Ynet the group bought two DJI drones, attached explosives, and conducted a successful test drop. The reports suggested that the plot was coordinated with Hamas leadership based in Turkey. However, Turkish officials have consistently maintained that Ankara hosts only the political leadership of Hamas and does not provide military support to the group.

Iraq’s al-Sadr urges action on water crisis
The Ministry of Water Resources confirmed in July that reserves have collapsed due to shrinking inflows from upstream countries and the worsening effects of climate change, making 2025 one of the driest years since 1933 and prompting provinces to issue health alerts and launch campaigns against waterborne diseases. Iraq ranks among the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations, struggling with declining rainfall and dam projects in Turkiye and Iran that have cut flows in the Tigris and Euphrates, while the United Nations lists Iraq among the five countries most exposed to climate change.

Mali takes Algeria to ICJ over downed military drone
Mali accuses Algeria of maintaining "proximity to terrorist groups", particularly in the border region. In January 2024, Mali's junta scrapped a 2015 peace deal with separatist groups brokered by Algeria and which had long been considered essential for stabilising the country. Since 2012, Mali has been gripped by violence from jihadist groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group as well as local criminal gangs.

The labor market is cratering
Once again, the real stunner came in the revisions, which showed the economy's 53-month-long streak of jobs growth ended in May. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that employers shed 13,000 jobs in June — the first employment contraction since December 2020. It was a downward revision from the data that showed a gain of roughly as many jobs. With those revisions, the economy has added an average of 29,000 jobs over the past three months — a stall-speed pace compared to the three-month average of 111,000 in March.

>Autonomist
If you think this is about autonomism you're sadly not even close to grasping what I'm getting at. The medicalisation and pathologizing of behaviors, appearances, and lack of "want", is already an issue in today's materially advanced societies.
This isn't about whether giving them diet cokes ruins their perfect noble savage culture. It's about what the supposed problem is, what people think they're "fixing", and whether they actually understand both what they're proposing and the basis of their worldview.
A lot of people, including here, are too caught up with the idea that 'material' progress is synonymous with social progress.
E.g. the Soviet Union was miserable and poor because most people didn't have cars (lib take). Ignoring the part where car ownership was mostly unnecessary, and you could live your whole live without ever driving one. Or people forget the part about how the rapid industrialization of the USSR was hardly a choice, because they knew the capitalist powers were going to try and destroy them again like they had been trying from the start.
If they felt they had centuries to figure things out, and didn't need to immediately address the widespread destruction and famine in the aftermath of the Russian Civil War, they could very well have taken a different approach. But we'll never know because the Bolsheviks inherited a gigantic impoverished country suffering recurrent famines and warlordism, and they correctly understood that another war was on the horizon.

Why doesn't China or the USA or some other progressive industrial state invade this pissant island and make these loafers productive? The worth of humanity is measured by working on an assembly line or in a warehouse, slaughterhouse, shuffling paperwork, anything but hunting and fishing and not creating VALUE. If they refuse to work then they deserve to starve and die, like the Bible says (I am very progressive by the way). The island is the treasure of humanity, seize it, put a factory on it to make purple double headed dildos for the masses and dump the waste on their sacred gravesites (reactionary superstition). They probably worship some retarded nature animal gods. Make them worship the only real god INDUSTRY.

I didn't say either of those things, actually. In fact my exact argument was to grasp material conditions (or are the class struggle and class relations to imperialism not material conditions anymore?) in order to understand why groups of people gravitate to certain politics and build strategy and tactics from there, instead of one-sidedly declaring people reactionary or revolutionary and moving on. I then discussed how material conditions (again, class struggle) enhances or weakens the effectiveness of propaganda, providing a framework for understanding this with more depth than "there's a lot of propaganda, therefore it's effective".

I said absolutely nothing about what strategy is required for revolutionary war in the United States. You do not know what Maoism is.

The truth, as usual, is much more interesting. Nordic countries have good welfare because the tax burden is mainly put on the workers themselves.

US is designed around tax loopholes. The huge tax level the US has is basically to keep petty bourgs and new money out from real big money.

"Clearly, these “benefits” accruing to the entire working class of the industrialized countries from imperialist investment are neither automatic nor evenly distributed. Rising profits and increased investment do not necessarily lead to higher wages for workers in the absence of effective working- class organization and struggle.

(…)

Real wages for U.S. workers, both union and nonunion, have fallen to about 11% below their 1973 level, despite strong growth beginning in the late 1980s. (26) Higher than average profits have accrued, first and foremost, to capital, allowing increased investment; and to the professional-managerial middle class in the form of higher salaries.

(…)

Whatever benefits all workers in the global North reap from imperialist investment in the global South are clearly outweighed by the deleterious effects of the expansion of capitalist production on a world scale. This is especially clear today, in the era of neoliberal “globalization.”

Filipinos Are Exposing Govt-Linked Nepo Babies For Corruption On TikTok

> A social media uprising is shaking the Philippines — and it’s infiltrating the global FYP. Videos shaming the “nepo babies” of government contractors and politicians aren’t just trending in the Filipino zeitgeist, they’re spreading on the internet around the world, drawing fresh attention to the country’s deep corruption woes at a time when netizens are taking a closer look at their governments.

Who knew a government led by an OG nepobaby of the deposed dictator have tons of modern nepobabies. Lmao every mf in the Philippines that became politicians are part of political dynastic houses.
>This digital revolt was instigated by the handling of the July 2025 floods — when monsoon rains and tropical storms left Metro Manila and its neighbours knee-deep in water.
The Philippines will sink basically
>More than 6 million people were affected, with over 30 dead and thousands displaced, exposing just how broken flood protection had become, and spotlighting how so much government spending seemed to make no difference for ordinary people.

Who benefits from medicaid cuts? I tried to think it through but I can't really explain it. It ends up costing more by not providing preventative care and resulting in expensive care later, as well that pulling people out of the workforce due to conditions that eventually disable them.

Nos anos 60 tinha o hype da revolução cubana, a proliferação do foquismo no continente inteiro, sim, mas além disso tinham militantes com experiência em guerra convencional e guerra de guerrilha. Um dos fundadores do PCBR, o Apolônio de Carvalho, por exemplo, lutou contra os fascistas na Espanha, e depois na resistência francesa contra a ocupação nazista. O Carlos Lamarca além de ter sido formado na Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras, atuou como membro da força de paz da ONU em Gaza.

help me out here /lgbt/. I was hanging out at the local anarchist book club the other day and, because it has a high concentration of trans people, there was a discussion about trans issues. since I don't really care I was just listening
one of the people there, who is a trans man, was talking about how they're a lesbian. it's at this point that I feel like an immense boomer, because in my head lesbian = women fucking women. can someone please enlighten me how this is supposed to work? does gender stop existing when SEX is involved? or is it just calling a spade a spade?

Yes, China has in may ways betrayed many of the principles of Marxism. China is deeply flawed, and I have no pretenses to convince you otherwise.

Yet, despite all of these flaws does China not offer a strong foundation for building Communism. China, unlike other countries has both a strong base of material wealth to build off of as well as a populous that both believes in and is willing to act on the principles of Marxism.

It seems to me at least that it is comparatively our best hope for building communism. Is it not? I would like to hear others input on this subject as I'm still somewhat on the fence regarding all of this.

>Let’s start with a couple of books that deal with US economic hegemony and the dollar. Mainstream economist Kenneth Rogoff has published Our dollar, your problem, the title of which refers to the statement in 1971 by the then US Secretary of the Treasury, John Connally who told his European counterparts: ‘the dollar is our currency but your problem’, when the US decided to allow the dollar to depreciate by 20% to improve its trade account that was heading into deficit.



>Socialist economist Jack Rasmus offers a much better explanation of the relative decline of US imperialism and the dollar. His book will be available from October. In his book, The Twilight of American Imperialism covers the gradual decline in US manufacturing dominance in the 1970s onwards that led to taking the US dollar off its link to a fixed price of gold and Connally’s remarks.

>Kids watch this shit?
Yeah, when I was 11-14 all the nerdier kids loved Naruto (and Death Note). I don't know if kids growing up after it ended bother going back to watch it though.

>>29033
I watched the first seasons back when I was a teenager, and the recurring topic was that it takes a village to raise a child. none of the protagonists were intrinsically good and none of the antagonists were intrinsically evil, they all had either a tragic backstory of being marginalized and mistreated by their community, or were professional mercenaries just doing their job, with no real animosity towards each other or their victims

it was a kid shows so it was never shown explicitly, but I remember that at some point during the zabuza arc the instructor guy tells naruto something like "even though you think we are the good guys, we are mercenaries and sometimes we do kill innocent people for money"

>>29071
Not anymore, but kids aged 10 to 18 did read the manga when it was airing. Nowadays kids read shit like Gachiakuta or whatever the fuck is recent in the shonen sphere. The same way kids would read Yuyu Hakusho and Jojo before Naruto.
The only people who care about Naruto are
>people who watched the show as kids and didn't let go (like Harry Potter fans)
>people who don't watch anime but were convinced by the group mentioned above to give it a shot and love it for being "so different" (it's just the same tropes from forever ago)

I too watched the first few seasons when I was in highschool forever ago.
OP's post made me go on the wiki and read about the ninja aliens.
I'm glad I didn't watch 2 entire series to find out its ancient aliens.

>>29086
Thanks. I never caught up with shippuden or payed that much attention to the part 1. I wasn’t aware of the fact that the show was like one piece in the sense that both the protagonists and the author are aware that the main characters are functionally not “good” people nor are possible to write as saints respectively.

Question, are there any non kid friendly action anime released? When I specify non-kid friendly, I mean not containing the tropes older shows would have like women being unusually aggressive towards minor inconveniences, sexual and power based fan service, bathroom humour, censorship of blood and brutality, unusually soft colour pallets, and self insert power garbage for audiences untrained in real world fighting?

My vote goes to Harry Truman without a doubt.

He deliberately removed the Soviet signature from the Potsdam declaration to prolong the war in order to remove the USSR from the victors against Japan, but the nukes didnt even work and Japan only surrendered after the USSR invaded anyway.

Today, former President Jair Bolsonaro was unexpectedly taken into custody amid widespread astonishment. Security forces escorted him into a high‑security facility, where he is now expected to remain pending legal proceedings. A hush fell over Brazil’s capital as reporters surrounded the vehicle, cameras flashing. Supporters and critics alike gathered at the courthouse, sentiment sharply divided. Authorities have remained tight‑lipped about charges, though speculation swirls regarding alleged abuses of power. In a brief televised statement, Bolsonaro insisted on his innocence, calling the arrest politically motivated. Meanwhile, legal experts emphasized that due process must prevail. As the nation absorbs this dramatic development, citizens brace for what could be a historic trial, one that may reshape Brazil’s political landscape.

He was already hard on Bolsonaro even before the coup attempt, there's a reason they targeted him in the first place.

Bump.

He should get the electric chair

You do not become unemployed when you quit. You need to register in the labor office, I thought it is easy, but I got it wrong.. What labor office means by unemployed, it is not someone who is not working. It is someone who is looking for a job! In the office they direct you to a job and IMO you can't decline. Also, is not inability to decline the job given - slavery?

Why register? The gobt ask you. If you can't pay city tax, you need to register. If you want to prove your 0 income, to get some heating compensated, they ask you to register. While as you see, you can't register.

Just if you got an impression that modern gobt is somehow humane, I'm not sure.. may be, but as you see, it might be a false imporession, in some cases.

Honestly if you get a job immediately that sounds pretty good at least if they pay you. But it's most likely a very shitty job and that sucks shit. They'll probably also get rid of you quickly which also sucks and then you tossed into another shitty job. Is that how they do it in Moldova?

Hey, I think I got an idea.

So, given unemployed is someone who is looking for a job and labor office duty is to verify you look for a job.. They verify that by giving you a blank that you should bring to an interview, then bring it back to the labor office. Then again, …

Why do that if I can just show them my email account? The messages I've sent, which firms reply to my message, etc. I can allow them to view that.

Labor office also can setup their own email server for unemployed. Which I could use to send my CVs and they can use it to view what I'm doing.

What it also will give them, is a tool the labor office can use to find fake job postings. They will see if the job poster did not reply.

Idk, just some rumors. May be yes, getting a job fast likely will be a bottom job. Also will bourgeois use you more or pay you less, knowing you should accept their job? …
