Hapy B'day engels

I like it when a media property has ended or there is a definite point where it can be said to have irrevocably changed, because this demarcates a finite "core" of what it represents.

Think of homestuck: You have the pre-hivebent stuff, representing a continuation of the PS parody of convoluted RPG mechanics, leaning a lot more into cool world-building and personal character journeys. The later parts expand a lot on these things, but they also add many other things, for each of which homestuck is far less concise and more muddled as a singular work.

You also see this a lot in fanfiction, where a oneshot articulates a novel setup with a lot of promise. This is then expanded into a short series of chapters, where every subsequent entry continues something in a way that is less than ideal and end up with the author having written themselves in a corner before leaving the work on hiatus. Not only does it take skill to create something, it takes even more to retain a unifying impetus throughout.

Therefore i'm of the conviction that stasis and orthodoxy are good things to have in a lot of places, a shared commonality serving as the basis for novel thought. You can see this clearly in literary genres with a canon, like 40s/50s scince fiction or 80s/90s cyberpunk. Or after the lifecycle of a videogame console has ended, its game library immediately becomes more or less fixed. This allows for games to filter through time based on merit, something a homebrew- or demoscene becomes auxiliary to, as the platform becomes progressively more well-understood and any new games that aren't tech demos will be made specifically with the strengths of the platform in mind.

On the first point, I can't prove a negative. Go look, it isn't there.

On the second point, one part that left me scratching my head was when it claimed that New Orleans was a hub of radical activity with no other evidence than it being minority white. I am unaware of New Orleans having ever been particularly radical. It was different, I'll grant you that, but it was different in a "it had a caste of mixed-race slave owners" way, not in a communist or proto-communist way, which is what the book implies.

On the third part, in the part about Reconstruction, it just straight up brings out the servile insurrection myth used in Birth of a Nation, but frames it as some kind of "New Afrikan" revolution that was supposedly "proletarian" in nature (implying that it was either communist or proto-communist.) There was some minor unrest during Reconstruction, but there was no servile insurrection. That is a KKK myth.

>can't get over
The doomerism of that claim is idpol. It's quite easy to get over it and many do.

>>719991
Sakai is only right in saying that white proletariat is not conscious. Proletariat in general is not conscious. Consciousness resides in the party.

Yes this is what Marx said

Gen Z and gen alpha are so fucked. Extremely vice-ridden. Gambling, social media, smartphones, vaping, etc etc. I interact with a lot of them because of my work and there's only a handful who were properly raised by their parents.
There's gonna be so much stuff coming out over the next 5, 10, 20 years about how cooked their brains are.

>>719492
we need to expand this, everything needs to be gambled on, if everything is gambled on then the house will fix things to win on probabilities, so all we need to do is.

>bet on the revolution not happening in november 2025, december 2025, january 2026… etc
>the revolution becomes a 100/1 underdog because it never happens
>in their pursuit of money capitalists fix the game by making the revolution happen only one time
>revolution happens, money is abolished

>>720121
My parents didn't properly raise me, but by random chance and a bit of paranoia I managed to get the computer to raise me fair enough.

It's automatable. Just need a terabyte or so of porn, access to a data broker, and you can get people fired for being in porn. It gives companies an extra way to fuck over employees while sabataging re-hirability, thus ensuring the money spent training that employee doesn't benifit a competitor, forcing more proles to resort to gig economy pseudo-employment.

but since it's so easy to do AI deepfakes, then you can just say that it's AI if you ever get accused of being in a naughty image, and I think the vast majority of people will believe you even if the image is real

Leftypol, leftypol never changes

>>720067
>and I think the vast majority of people will believe you even if the image is real
But you're assuming this based on nothing but vibes so it's utterly irrelevant.

>>720074
Which is the reason why I said "I think". And by disagreeing with my intuition I take it that you believe the opposite on also nothing but vibes.

>>720101
Ok, and?

>>720105
Doesn't that violate medical ethics? And if a minor can't consent to getting something like a vasectomy why should they be allowed to medically transition?

there's no war but class wa-

I agree. We need to better equip youth to make these decisions, by accelerating education. Schooling should always override parental rights.
>Hell, you have to be 18 in the US to get a tattoo
You can apply for a driving license at 16, so it would make sense to likewise offer hormone licenses, on the condition that teens are tested on their knowledge of feminism and gender theory.

Family is a spook.
Parental rights is a spook.
There should be no families, at least related through blood, in a truly leftist world.
All kids (if people are even allowed to pop them out, which I don't think 90% should be) must be raised gender non-conforming and non-binary.
Being trans and queer should be more acceptable than being a cishet breeder scumbag.

>Jonathan Stroud writes female goonslop
Does that just mean having any amount of female PoV now?

>>720033
not exactly

its female POV with some verbal erotica or any erotica at all because puritanism is back, but also any book where the masculine manly hot man is written same way men writers write hot women

>have you ever seen what redditor are like,
Only through screenshots, it seems like a standard issue 4chan clone: a handful of ivermectinites egged on by a swarm of bots.
>my takes aren't from twitter or reddit
The reason I assume you got these assumptions from twitter is because they were boilerplate stances people used to have back when i used to use twitter.
>criticizing something as immature and childish is a coherent criticism
It's abstract nonsense that teens make up to separate themselves from the indignity they've associated with their own childhoods due to the way the adults treated them growing up. No, throwing away your toys and school year books doesn't make you an adult. Adulthood and maturity are not consumer identities you wear as a hat.
>it's the marvel fans, the dinsey fans, the star wars fans, the harry potter fans,
Actual fanatics of these are not abundant enough to be statistically significant, despite what marketing campaigns would lead you to believe. The reason these properties do well is because television users are anti-intellectual reactionaries and thus voluntarily larp as mindless cattle to convince themselves they're normal, because that's how they conceive "normal people" in their head. It's like a reverse solipsism. I don't know why they do that. My mom used to be an engineer and yet she does this, weirdly self aware about it.
<and the YA book readers
Content ratings aren't genres. A book doesn't magically become an affirmation of your adulthood because the author sprinkled some sex scenes and swear words in it.

>>720043 (me)
Like my mom has watched every Marvel and Jon Wick movie, she hates them but watches them because she thinks it makes her normaller to have watched them.

Do any of you read female erotica? I occasionally delwe into josei manga, but would like to expand into literature, got any recommendations where to start?

I mean if we're being technical a lot of American music is a mixture of Celtic and African music. It's obviously going to depend on the genre but whole bunch of the music of the United States can either be traced back to Scots-Irish settlers in Appalachia who took their techniques for playing the fiddle or African slaves who despite being kidnapped and forced into this country managed to keep a lot of their traditions alive.

I'm not a big fan of the United States but I do think it's interesting to see these things kind of mix together and it's unfortunate that due to how Anglo-American colonization has a binary mode of thinking that it's not acknowledged a lot outside of musicology. Hell, I guarantee there's probably a lot of people on this board who don't even know the banjo originated from stringed instruments in West Africa such as the akonting.

Also, as a sidenote that's part of the reason why Irish and Scottish music was used in the movie Sinners because not only is it important in the plot (Remmick being a metaphor for the Irish assimilating into whiteness by throwing black people under the bus) but also it's a nod to both the African and Celtic influences on blues music even if the former is more dominant in the case of the blues. It also makes his first kill being the Klu Klux Klan more interesting because technically the Klu Klux Klan was partially influenced by Scottish clans which means that the historical fighting between the Irish and KKK was in a way an extension of the Protestant and Catholic conflict of Northern Ireland.

Anyways, there's some food for thought for those on thread.

baroque is sexually charged dance music made by wig wearers who improvised on top of a strong bass line, TikTok users are making dance memes about it for a reason
>Black Americans are the bedrock of pop culture
Bourgeois capitalism has recuperated it and removed all black influence, that's why the only good Elvis is his earliest Sun record recordings before it was whitewashed. There's reason why there is no "great American rock band", only the British were capable of respecting black people (lol at Matt Christman soyfacing at Credence Clearwater Revival, the most spiritually Zionist settler rock band:
<Despite hailing from California, CCR "mythologized the American South with an exotic mixture of blues, New Orleans R&B, and rockabilly," according to NPR. According to AllMusic, CCR "created a unique synthesis of punchy rock & roll, swamp pop, blues, and country." CCR has been cited as pioneers of swamp rock and country rock. The band also played roots rock, blues rock, Southern rock, Americana and blue-eyed soul. The band often utilized lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River and other elements of Southern United States iconography
