Palestine Thread Pt. VII

One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>484995

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers, and threw parades celebrating the exchange. The ceasefire is on terms Hamas had already agreed to in May 2024.

Following Hezbollah strikes on Tel Aviv, a ceasefire in Lebanon was agreed to on November 27th. Israel proceeded to violate this ceasefire more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country at the agreed-upon 60 day deadline, prompting unarmed civilians to stage protests and drive them out of parts of south Lebanon.

Lebanese Army leader Joseph Aoun was elected president of Lebanon.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance.

Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar was killed while fighting in Gaza. Mohammed Deif later confirmed dead.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.

Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.

Benjamin Netanyahu was invited back to the White House for February 4th, 2025.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and reportedly violated the ceasefire in Gaza some 80 times.

More countries have joined South Africa's legal case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for the crime of genocide. Cuba, Ireland, Belize, Nicaragua, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, Chile, and Colombia have joined the South African case against Israel. Egypt, Belgium, and Maldives have also declared their intention to join.

Yemeni Houthi attacks on international shipping, in solidarity with Gaza, have stopped in accordance with the ceasefire, following multiple successful Yemeni strikes on targets in Israel.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK.

The US gov't continued shipping weapons to Israel, in violation of US law.

The new US administration threatened to deport foreign students speaking out against the US-backed Palestinian genocide.

A group of states from the global south formed the Hague Group as a way of reinforcing the rulings of the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. The founding states are Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

And much, much more!

Mahmoud Khalil forced disappearance thread

On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

On Sunday evening, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin sent a follow-up statement confirming ICE “arrested” Khalil “for activities aligned to Hamas”: “On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student,” McLaughlin wrote. “Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security.”

McLaughlin did not answer questions about where Khalil is being held.

Columbia University directed Drop Site to a statement on their website. The statement, dated March 9, reads, "There have been reports of ICE around campus. Columbia has and will continue to follow the law. Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including University buildings. Columbia is committed to complying with all legal obligations and supporting our student body and campus community."

Khalil’s wife was unlocking the door to the building when “two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them.” They initially refused to identify themselves, she reported, but then threatened Khalil’s wife that if she remained with him, she would be detained too.

On Wednesday, Khalil was among the protesters at a sit-in at Milstein Library in Columbia University’s Barnard College, protesting the recent expulsion of three Barnard students over pro-Palestine activism. New York Police Department officers later arrested nine individuals from the same protest—the third round of arrests of pro-Palestine demonstrators on Columbia’s campuses in the past year.

Over the course of Thursday and Friday, several prominent pro-Israel groups and individuals published a series of tweets targeting Khalil, mentioning his presence at the sit-in on Wednesday and his history as a lead negotiator with Columbia in April 2024, and demanded that the Trump administration act strongly against him by revoking his visa and deporting him. They tagged President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Old people are the chains on the young.

uckers are living longer and longer (especially w*men) while hoarding a disproportionate amount of the retail real estate and other claims on the surplus produced by the younger generations.

It's no coincidence that the old cunts are the main support base of the reactionaries all across the globe. Just look at the recent case of Russkia - it's disproportionally retirees who support the war, and this pattern is reproduced time and time again. Smash them against the rock.

/INT/ - Intuition

there are some spiritualities (Indigenous matriarchal ones for example) that believe women possess intuition like a 6th sense that men aren't able to tap into. And that it can be honed with practice.

I have pretty powerful intuition, always have since I was a kid. I started doing tarot readings when I was little for fun, and they ended up really scarily accurate. It's all intuition based, the way I read them. I freaked out several family members- aunts uncles, mom, grandma with my readings to the point where they were made uncomfortable. I've predicted severe illness, infidelity, and minor issues too with my card readings. I get told a lot that my tarot readings aren't any fun because I don't sugarcoat bad things. In fact I think I have more of an ability to predict bad things than good.

I am also really good at reading people, which I usually pass off as being a perk of being a wallflower, but I can even guess people's first names when I've never seen them before sometimes. Sometimes I even get such a powerful feeling that a person or animal's name is 'wrong' somehow to the point where I have a hard time using the name they give me. Like, one time I was riding a trail horse with a name like Red or something, but I could not stop calling her Daisy- in my mind, when I was petting her or riding her. It was really weird. Probably sounds retarded but I wonder if it's some kind of weird intuition or something.

At this point I always listen to my intuition. If I get a bad feeling about something. My husband believes I have very strong intuition as well, and always listens to me if I decide to cancel a plan or leave something early because it's never steered us wrong. I think it's the closest thing to a religious belief I practice- if I get a gut feeling about something I don't do it, or if someone gives me bad vibes I gtfo.

few examples off the top of my head:
- when i was 16 I crashed my car going 80 into a telephone pole and the tree line in a ditch, with my mom in the passenger seat. she only came out with cuts from the glass, I didn’t have a scratch.
- some dumb friend of mine was getting catfished and subsequently extorted, and basically made a deal to “sell me” to them since he knew i was well off in exchange for being left alone. instantly knew something was up with the girl that hmu. few days later he attempts suicide and she’s arrested for something completely unrelated.
- i was in a bad place in high school and used to keep a longer than legal switchblade on me, just waiting for someone to give me a reason. it fell out of my pocket once in the middle of the hallway during class change, and another time in class as i was standing up from my desk. both times it miraculously and quietly fell into someone else’s backpack, a million times better than clattering on the floor.

Is your intuition ever scarily accurate? I’ve intuited running into certain people. I went to the library 3 days ago because I just knew my crush would be there even though he’s a commuter who didn’t attend class that day. I don’t know how I knew that. I just followed wherever my body took me because I knew it would take me to him. Another example, there’s someone that I know I will run into on my campus (who doesn’t live anywhere near it) by the end of the month. I’ve known it for months and I’ve been trying to avoid running into this person but I know it’s the universe’s will we run into each other.

how do you develop better intuition? I can usually tell that something horrible is going to happen on days when horrible things do happen but that's not really useful

ONLY Americans can destroy America

There is no external army here to shatter the state, and there never will be. The two oceans provide impenetrable insulation against invasion, to such an extent that a foreign invasion is not just farfetched, it is impossible. It would be easier to eat the sun than to move millions of troops and all their supplies across the vastness of the ocean to invade America. Even a basic understanding of military strategy and history would reveal this to be true. It simply cannot be done. Protected from foreign pressure, American capital has become a complete hegemon, able to loot the entire world at will and use the superprofits generated from imperialism both to prevent any dissent by buying off the otherwise restive sections of the proletariat and to build a state apparatus that maintains an iron grip on the populace through an inescapable surveillance and propaganda panopticon. There will be and can be no mass movement in America like there was in Russia and China until America, as in, the central government, is either seriously diminished or destroyed. Since that cannot happen through an external force, it must be done internally

No one will act, and by this I mean do anything besides pointless chanting and marching because they have not reached some undefined, arbitrary (and constantly shifting, in order to provide them with unlimited excuses) threshold of popular support that will, they think, magically flip a switch and allow them to do something. No change in circumstances will spur them to action. Even as their erstwhile comrades and immigrants are openly rounded up and thrown into for-profit concentration camps to be tortured and deported, the American "left", such as it is, sits on its hands and not only does nothing, but tells everyone else to do the same. Even as they watch the general public cheer and applaud the random murder of a CEO, they still believe that doing anything would be the greatest sin possible and doom their already insignificant movement to destruction. The greatest crime anyone can commit in the eyes of the western "left", such as it is, is so-called "adventurism", which is to say doing anything at all. They are so afraid of this "adventurism" that the quickest way to be ostracized from the American "left", such as it is, is to imply that anyone should DO anything.

Why has this sickness emerged? It is because the "left", such as it is, spends all their time reading theory but none of it reading history. Dialectical materialism is a tool which we use to analyze history, not a means to an end. Understanding dialectical materialism but not history is like a mechanic buying all their tools but loudly and boastfully refusing to ever work on a car for fear of getting their hands dirty. It is pointless, a waste of time, resources and energy. If anyone in the western "left" had genuine conviction in their beliefs, even a cursory reading of actual history would dissuade them of this cancerous strategy of "sit and do nothing." It takes only a basic understanding of history, analyzed through the lens of dialectical materialism, to understand why this strategy is doomed to fail.

This mindset of passivity is in error for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it ignores the class composition and material conditions of America. The ancient tomes into which the western "left", such as it is, pours all it's time and attention, were written over 100 years ago in countries with wildly different material conditions to America and the west in general. Russia and China, the origins of most of the theory that the western "left" hyper focuses on, were still struggling to escape from the yoke of feudalism and suffering from deep, existential crises, both internal and external. Even then, the revolutionary movements only gained serious traction when the old order was either seriously diminished or outright destroyed by brutal foreign invaders. In the case of Russia, this was caused by the first world war, and in China, a series of western interventions, culminating in complete anarchy and a genocidal invasion from the Japanese imperialists. This means that the majority of the people were ruthlessly oppressed, both by their own government and by external forces. This gave the people a common cause and a rallying cry, which allowed the Communists (through hard work and lots of bloody struggle) to gain mass popular support.

The real cancer are psychiatrists.

Wastes of lard the lot of them. they don't communicate. And they're not real medical practitioners. They hear a list of symptoms. they cluster them together and try to categorize, and then they prescribe 10migs of blowuplikeafuckingballoon-titis. And then they don't waste 20 minutes on your case, even though you're shelling out a kidney's worth to be in their presense. And they continuously gaslight you into thinking the diabetes in a pill you're taking to manage the mental midgetry does NOT have any side effects.

don't blame blame yourself for not having it all figured out yet the school system didn't prepare you for the real world really and truly you're just getting started if this sounds like you then don't just focus on earning Millions at this stage you need to obsess over sharpening your act so it looks a bit more like this lots of people ski this part of the process and just try to start a business as they've heard it's the way to become rich however they're doing the equivalent of trying to cut down a tree with a blunt axe it's simply just not going to work so how do you sharpen your ax so that when you go for the big money you can easily cut down the tree with a few strong swings well it all comes down to mastering High income skills these are the skills that can make you at least $10,000 per month some great examples nowadays are video editing copyrighting High ticket closing and software development the amount you can make with skills like these will change depending on supply and demand but mastering one or two of these skills can put you in a really great POS position early on in life my son Curtis honed his videography and editing skills while still in school upon graduating he quickly acquired clients and was earning $10,000 a month within a year however the money wasn't as important as the opportunities his skills provided they allowed him to interact with extremely successful people and gain access to valuable information that others paid thousands for this is the true power of a high income skill it opens doors so think about what doors you want to open and pick one or two high income skills that'll help you get there don't rush this step sharpening your ax takes time

Hasan Piker interviewed Elon Musk's daughter and they seem really friendly. I'm glad different people from different families & backgrounds & walks of life are finally getting together & having a dialogue, it bodes well for the future of the planet & our children when people get along & find ways to understand one another.

Society is about to return to the Victorian century

>early 20th century
>first wave feminism happens
>women start entering the workforce and education en masse
>wages evolve in a way that a household led by a single breadwinner becomes almost impossible
>females eventually start getting the most degrees
>most of them in soft fields
>still, men are prevalent in leadership roles and the most critical jobs
>fast forward to present day
>AI revolution starts taking place
>most bullshit jobs are about to get brutally wiped out as companies become more and more efficient
>such jobs are predominantly held by - you guessed it - females
>DEI losing force worldwide

Without quotas, we might be about to witness mass female unemployment, which could lead to a return of the arrangement that happened prior to first wave feminism: a smaller workforce, with women mostly absent from many professions, becoming stay at home wives instead.

Perhaps a Victorian arrangement, with affluent women going to college for personal growth and passion projects, instead of looking for employability and marketeable skills

I just had this totally business and finance-related epiphany after tripping on shrooms and I had to share it with you, frens. What do you think?

.ogre discussion general.

We have lots of newfriends and oldfags who want to discuss topics revolving around .org which is all fine and good there's no issue with that, but, one of the major issues is that posts are begging to flood the overboard and catalogue in general, thus, we have decided to create a general thread for .org discussion. This is not, necessarily, a hard rule that must be followed, but, we do implore you all to attempt to keep discussion about .org in this thread and we will prune what we feel is necessary.

We also have merged some related threads into the general, fyi.

Reading General

Hello /leftypol/, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

American Communist Party /ACP/ General

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

Why are 95% of women ugly without makeup?

When I was young I liked natural women then growing up I realized it's actually natural made-up looking women that I like. Women who didn't put too much makeup. My question is, why are most women ugly without makeup.

"Moderate rebels" retake Aleppo

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

Syria has been promised extra Russian military aid to help the army thwart the assault, two Syrian military sources told Reuters on Saturday. Damascus expects new Russian military hardware to start arriving at Russia’s Hmeimim airbase near Syria’s coastal city of Latakia in the next 72 hours, the sources added.

HTS said on Friday that it had captured four more towns including Mansoura, five miles from the centre of Aleppo. Syria’s state news agency said four civilians were killed inside student accommodation in the city when it was struck by projectiles from insurgent forces.

“The regime’s lines of defence have crumbled, I think they were taken aback. No one anticipated how fast the rebels would reach towards the edge of Aleppo,” said Dareen Khalifa, of the nonprofit International Crisis Group.

She added that it remained unclear whether the rebel forces would be able to hold the swath of captured territory, or how Russian forces backing the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Damascus may respond.

Turkey’s foreign ministry called for calm in the region around Idlib, demanding an end to the strikes on the area. “It is of utmost importance for Turkey that yet another and greater instability is avoided and civilians are not harmed,” it said.

…

A delicate balance of power in Syria has been increasingly tested over the past year, however, amid increasing regional fallout from Israel’s battle with the Iranian proxy group Hamas in Gaza.

Israel has dramatically escalated airstrikes against Iranian forces stationed on the ground in Syria, carrying out more than 116 strikes on Syrian territory, according to the UN, and killing more than 100 people, while recent fighting in Lebanon has forced 500,000 people to flee into neighbouring Syria.

The increasing Israeli strikes have put Iranian forces in Syria on the defensive, allowing rebels to exploit a moment where various proxy forces backing Assad are more engaged elsewhere.

Khalifa said Moscow remained focused primarily on the fighting in Ukraine. “The Russians are distracted in Ukraine. They are less invested politically if not military in Syria,” she said. “It’s difficult to tell what the result of this offensive is going to be. The rebels think the other side is vulnerable, and they have leverage.”

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said on Friday that Moscow regarded the rebel attack as a violation of Syria’s sovereignty and wanted the authorities to act fast to regain control.

Turkey, which backs rebel groups along Syria’s northern border but has sought recently to normalise relations with Assad, is yet to publicly intervene in the latest round of fighting.

HTS said it would target Iranian forces fighting alongside Syrian government troops as part of the latest offensive. Iran’s Tasnim news agency said a commander from the Revolutionary Guards was killed in western Aleppo late this week.

The fighting and airstrikes appeared to paralyse much of the fragile network of services across rebel-held territory in Idlib, forcing the closure of health services and other infrastructure that sustain millions seeking shelter there.

Facial Recognition Arms Race

https://www.computer.org/csdl/journal/tp/2023/05/09925105/1HBHW3EBlQs
>Due to its convenience and remarkable accuracy, face recognition technology [1] has been applied in a few interactive intelligent applications such as checking-in and mobile payment. However, existing face recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks (PAs) ranging from print, replay, makeup, 3D-mask, etc. Therefore, both academia and industry have paid extensive attention to developing face anti-spoofing (FAS) technology for securing the face recognition system. As illustrated in Fig. 1, FAS (namely ‘face presentation attack detection’ or ‘face liveness detection’) is an active research topic in computer vision and has received an increasing number of publications in recent years.

https://stateline.org/2024/01/10/are-ski-mask-bans-a-crime-fighting-solution-some-cities-say-yes/
>Amid concerns about crime and public safety, at least two major U.S. cities recently considered banning ski masks or balaclavas to prevent criminal behavior, despite a lack of academic research about the effectiveness of such bans.

I don't know if fellow lainons have gone out recently, but I've noticed any time I go to a big box store the entrance and exits are covered with cameras connected to a blaring large screen TV facing the customers with green and yellow boxes following he figure and face of each customers they scurry about their day. Not only this, often times there's hardly any human clerks available to check you out when you want to make a purchase, often times forcing you to use the self check out with the cameras recording your face’s every move from a fish eye lens 2 feet away from your face.
No one cares.
You will often be followed around or outright refused service if you walk in with something that covers all of your face effectively enough to not be data mined.
There’s makeup and clear masks that can obfuscate your face without looking like you’re going to rob the place but both domestic and foreign megacorps and academia are actively working to beat these known methods.
>What will lainon do when the next boogeyman allows the US and larger first world to implement Chinese levels of everyday surveillance?
People are clearly already desensitized to it, judging by how people don’t even notice the cameras anymore. Those few coming up with methods will have to be working constantly to be a step ahead of the corps https://urbanarmor.org/portfolio/miss-my-face/. Boycotting will be increasingly less of a practical solution.

Any selfharm advice? (Where to cut to make it invisible for others, what to use for that etc) Currently I use pocket scalpel on my shoulder.

Where does the power come from?

How does society work/why does status quo exist?Ok, so I asked this like a couple of months before, but I don't think I got the solid answer that would satisfy me…
Where does the power come from? How is it "set in stone" that the person x has position y/level of authority z/can rule w group of people? I mean, anyone can write anything on a piece of paper and its not like it has some magic power that forces people to act the way they do right? Then how doesn't the whole system fall apart? How does the whole social hierarchy keeps itself together?

Incest general

There is no good reason to oppose incest.

Why are they crying out for "Allah" like that's going to stop anything? Why don't they release the hostages? Are they fucking stupid?

SJWs

SJWs who post almost all the time about how racism, transphobia, sexism, homophobia, etc. is so bad tend to secretly be racist, homophobic, or sexist but in different ways than usual. The number of time I've seen black american shit all over other POCs who are at least treated as badly as them, is incredible. That's just one example among many others.

Trans people are either mentally unstable or attention whores, I don't understand why they're associated with the LGB part of LGBT group, aside from historical reasons. They're giving everyone else a shitty reputation.

I have no pity for people with illnesses, disorders or injuries that they brought on themselves. Don't smoke (cigarettes or anything else), drink alcohol with no moderation whatsoever or eat until your obese or get diabetes and complain about it. It's your fault.

There should be more places that are only for adults, no just bars and nightclubs. I know it's the case for some conventions, but I don't think that's the case in my country. Or if it is it's not common. I'm sick of going to cons where there are so many kids who hate it, with parents who either ignore them or hate the con as well, and see that so many of them don't know how to behave, especially when some of the con guests can be hentai artists and the booths are covered in NSFW pictures and merchandises. There's a cat cafe in my city that's only for clients above 15 or 1 I think and so many people are salty over this, but it's a great thing imo, because the only time I went there, it was full of kids mistreating the cats and playing with them like they were toys. I don't even dislike children but I guess I'm tired of them these days.

I don't like fanarts that depict racebending because the ones I see are all about "fixing" the character design and those ones are almost all ugly. Just fanarts that change the character design of literally anything to make it less "problematic" is usually shit and made by mediocre artists at best.

Fanfictions with almost any AUs are bound to be shit, depending on the original story. I'm sick of seeing Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy fanfics being college AUs or coffee shop AUs, they're always OOC and cringey. Or when more realistic stories with a modern setting have steampunk AUs or omegaverse AUs or whatever the fuck.

Chocolate is overrated. Pespi is just as good as Coca Cola, it just tastes different.

Girls who used to insult other girls with thick lips and eyebrows until it became trendy and who use cakey makeup to make it look like they have thick eyebrows and lips need to fuck off.

I'm sure there are other things I can't think of right now.

LeftyPol has gone full 4chan.
I cannot go one day without seeing a thread or post whining about "muh anime" or "pedophilia" or "muh gooners".

They also are indulging in shameless racism and sexism against Indians. Pakistanis and cishet males.

i hate wikipedia so fucking much

wikipedia banned me for a year for "vandalism" because of a conversation I had on a TALK page. previously I had only created a couple of pages for left wing books about reconstruction. I was trying to point out that certain artificial sweeteners in diet sodas were carcinogenic, but only after they pass through the digestive system and produce formaldehyde. I had talked about the conflict of interest between the corporations that invented them and the FDA. I talked about how the reagan administration brought in donald rumsfeld to accelerate the approval after it had been deadlocked for 16 years. I provided citations at every single step. all of this was on a talk page. I was not being argumentative. I was not editing the page. I merely pointed out that a lot of this information was absent from the article and drafted a proposal for possibly adding it in the future. I followed all the rules. Some fucking artificial sweetener industry shill policing the article got my ass banned. we used to have a glowiepedia thread on here showing power mods and power editors who edit impossible numbers of articles per year. People who are obviously paid by imperial core intelligence agencies to be full time wikipedia police. the bitch of the thing is they even scrubbed the talk page after banning me so I had no evidence. it was fucked. You go to pages like "historicity of jesus" and the corresponding talk pages have shit flinging back and forth between atheists and theists for years because it is of little political consequence for capitalists or imperialists. but you say an artificial sweetener is carcinogenic and suddenly you're a "vandal" and industry shills ban you. the rules are absolutely enforced differently from one article to the next and you see hired freaks lay control of articles relevant to industrial monopoly interests or imperialist interests .

and then you have reactionaries like musk come out and say "actually wikipedia is commiepedia and we need to make it even more right wing"

Would you ever fight on the front lines?

Why just about nobody seems to care about risk of strong solar storm on the scale of the carrington event?

Why there are no procedures made, spare transformers produced, emergency food and supplies stored around major cities, etc?

People care about climate change risks slowly damaging civilization over decades, and here we have risk (also scientifically and historically proven) that can just randomly disable worldwide electricity next year (extremely unlikely) or during the next 200 years (LIKELY) and we are doing nothing?

What is the logic in this? "Unlike climate change it will happen randomly, it may happen in 2054 or 2077, we may be already dead, we don't care"?
(No, nobody said that, I'm just trying to imagine reasons needed to ignore the issue).

Do you care about people who are now small children?

"It will PROBABLY not happen during my remaining lifetime, I'm fine with only 10% risk of dying from hunger or disorder among collapsing civilization"?

What is the logic here? What is the plan?

Are the risk overblown?
Or is the total fall of the industrial civilization so utterly and completely sure that there is no value of trying to save anything at all? Maybe at least some sort of archives carved on f****g stone, if not spare transformers, comms in Faraday cages and parts. Christ.

Or perhaps nobody outside of 20 scholars and Wikipedia heard about this issue?

1MW but at what cost

In this week edition of China lapping everybody else's tech:

BYD's new battery pack can be recharged to half full in 5 minutes, adding 400km or 250miles of range to the car it comes installed in. Which is on paar with refilling a gas tank. Soaking up those electrons at a whopping rate of One Megawatt. To be fair, that's probably not going to be the mode that maxes battery health. And if you want to install a bunch of charging stations you might have to look into small modular nuclear reactors.

I really did not expect big leaps in tech for batteries, batteries are over 200 years old, as such one would expect only incremental improvements. They're approaching hybrid capacitor territory in terms of power density.

I also just realized that this means they have to do 1000 amps at one kV for the charging cable. It's going to be a thick boy, and likely need water cooling. It also likely will vaporize you if you short it out.

This thread is for discussing sabotage, its theory, its history, tactics and stories.

Low-risk activities are great to know because they can be used in a mass movement filled with people who are (understandably) timid and scared. And once there are enough people on board, then there's the safety in numbers that are needed to build confidence for more extreme actions.

Perhaps more self-sabotage than worker sabotage, but I remember in the US post-pandemic strike wave, John Deere hired scabs and one crashed a tractor before the strike even began.

Speaking of scabs and low-risk tactics, Kellogg's also hired scabs that year and the /r/antiwork community raided them with fake job applications. It's a nice example of external sabotage, where sometimes even international comrades can help in their spare time.

Upon scanning the catalog I noticed that, while there is a little bit of discussion of lockpicking and physical security bypasses, there is not much talk in securing your identity as you traverse meatspace, so I have brought to you a slew of questions and propositions relating to exactly that.

The main goals of this thread are:
- Especially, to determine the most cost-effective, stealthy means of exterminating threats to your physical anonymity. This can range anywhere from the humble sling and slingshot, to spraypaint, to paintball and BB and water guns, to plastic bags and tape, to ropes and blunt objects, or even to cheap lasers or computer cracking.
- To determine the most efficient way to move from point A to point B while remaining unseen for a contiguous stretch of at least 20% of the journey. This is focused mainly on distances of less than a kilometer.
- To determine how to best conceal the originating point of your route in highly surveilled locations. This may involve wearing draped clothing like a cloak, dipping in and out of backyards, entering a crowded spot from a surveilled point and exiting at a less surveilled point, or just taking as long and roundabout of a route as possible to make it difficult to follow you back in time- etc.

Let us use the United States as a prime example of the prominence of surveillance cameras.
According to this article from The Verge[0], there is one camera for every 4,6 people in the United States, amounting to 70.000.000 cameras.
There are 330.000.000 people in the USA, of which ~270.000.000 have 15+ years of age. If as many as 1 in every 500 of those people were displeased enough to destroy those cameras, each one would have to destroy 207 cameras in order to eliminate them all. While this does not seem infeasible (a fun weekend project, at most), given that the French managed to rile up enough people to destroy 60% of all speed cameras in their country with ease[1], it is likely that the ratio of annoyed citizens to panopticon devices is much more fortunate than 1/500.

If any movement towards a systematic destruction of the surveillance state is to be accomplished, there is one barrier remaining- widespread knowledge of proper OPSEC and effective stragies.

That is to say, when an individual comes to the conclusion that they ought to do something about this problem, they are forced to individually think through the details of moving about the world without being traced, to anonymously obtain the clothing and basic items necessary to do the deed, to avoid leaking timing information (i.e. you are the only person who purchased spraypaint in this local region during the past week), to understand the ramifications of digital surveillance (don't carry your phone!), to understand secrecy (it's not a secret if you tell somebody), to properly compartmentalize, to start at a random location unrelated to themselves, to have situational awareness, and other extremely basic concepts that they are likely to be completely clueless about.
An idiot-proof guide ought to be constructed that contains strategies for exterminating surveillance cameras and just general OPSEC tips, that is simple enough for the lowest common denominator to comprehend and follow. It should be short and to the point, containing only tips that guarantee an increase in safety when followed.

It would also be useful to gather some intel on surveillance camera companies. Finding what the most common models are and their physical constraints and capabilities, as well as which companies or entities control the infrastructure where their footage is streaming to- in many places, a significant fraction of these cameras upload their footage to company servers, which can be exfiltrated by agencies via legal means very easily.

Some generic advice I can think of off the top of my head:

Wear gloves.

Wipe fingerprints off of any item you carry.

Do not carry any electronic device that has embedded wireless capabilities, like your phone. Not even if it's "off".

Do not tell anybody about anything you're doing, except those who you are doing it with.

Do not collaborate with more than 7 other people at the absolute maximum.

Ensure that no one does anything without everbody else coming to a conensus on precisely who will do it and how.

Do not talk to the police. Talking to the police can only harm you. Ask for a lawyer and zip it. (advice for Americans only)

Never assume that authorities are too lazy to pursue you. Instead assume that all of their focus is on you alone.

Do not keep records. If any papers are produced with incriminating information on them, burn them.

Meet in person with any collaborators, and distribute propaganda in paper leaflets.

To enter a surveilled space anonymously, first enter a sizable stretch of non-surveilled space carrying different clothing (shoes, dark pants, dark hood, dark mask, sunglasses, ideally a cloak), and use them to approach a more surveilled space.

Be mindful of making uncommon purchases with your real identity. If your face or name can be connected to a purchase of some uncommon item, and that item is soon used in a crime, you will be traced.

'Public key cryptography', 'threat modeling', 'defense in depth'. If you do not recognize the concepts behind these words, avoid using the Internet for anything sensitive. When your life or freedom is at stake, attempting to wield a tool that you do not understand will only harm you.

Can we be frenemies?

I don't know exactly how I feel about you people; I haven't lurked long enough. I definitely don't like the "woke left". For me that boils down to a collage of the pronoun people, the alphabet people, the cancel pigs, the "blame whitey" crowd, feminists, and a few other types like that cuck Destiny. Regardless, I'd say we both want a world where we don't have to deal with each other.

Why not build an alliance forged in mutual hate? We could work together to separate ourselves from a system we are forced to share, and never have to see each others ugly faces ever again. No more squabbling for power. No more chafing under each others dumb rules. You can have your "communism" over here and we can have our "fascism" over there, and never the twain shall meet.

pedo infiltration ?

So the EU is apparently pondering to make a mandatory pedo scanner for software.
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2022%2F05%2F11%2Feu-csam-detection-plan%2F

Many people have pointed out that this is just a pretext to attack:
privacy
IT security
and maybe even free open source software.

Many people think it's surveillance organizations them selves that are uploading the CSAM on purpose to push for laws that expand their legal permissions.

And all of the above is undoubtedly true.
Consider that if you invert the assumption of innocence and declare that wanting privacy makes you into a pedo-suspect that means that secret organizations have to be considered pedo-guilty by default, because they can't prove their innocence while keeping their secrets either.

If you argue that effective encryption that can't be broken which is absolutely necessary for the very concept of privacy, has to be undermined for the pedo-scanner. Then that same argument has to be made for proprietary software. Many pieces of proprietary software are in the range of tens or hundreds of gigabytes, and without publicly available source-code it's possible to hide a huge assortment of pedo-content in there. By contrast it's not possible to hide pedo-stuff in open source software.

Effective unbreakable encryption is not only necessary for privacy but also essential for IT security because without cryptographic signatures it's impossible to verify whether or not software hasn't been compromised.

But one glaringly obvious thing that is overlooked in this debate, is how a CSAM scanner works.
Every possible method of scanning for CSAM requires building a giant database filled with pedo-content.
There are relatively simple methods that use the pedo-data-base to create pedo-signatures of files, and there are more sophisticated methods, like using it to train machine learning algorithms to detect the pedo-patterns.

I can't help but think that a bunch of pedophiles got together and said
<"how can we create a pedo-pornhub without the rest of society trying to burn us at the stake for eating their children"
and
<"how do we get new pedo-content for the pedo-pornhub"

Because what they are doing is violating privacy and compromising the IT Security of computers used by children and scan it for potential "content" that has pedo-characteristics, that can than be uploaded to their pedo-data-base.

Basically the pedo-mafia has made an alliance with the surveillance-mafia.
But this isn't just about them creating a pedo-pornhub, they will indubitably find actual pedophiles with this, and then will be able to blackmail them to either go to prison or join the pedo-surveilance mafia. So it's also a recruitment tool for their crime-organization.

The Apple corporation which was the first that has implement the pedo-scanner-collection-tools and pedo-data-base might be the epi-center of this massive pedo-spiracy.


Before you dismiss this as schizo-ramblings, consider the following:
Since the assumption of innocence is being inverted, we have to consider that those people who are lobbying to create a giant data-base filled with pedo-content and legalized mechanisms to basically scan and scrape every computer for new content, that this is in fact a great pedo-conspiracy until they can prove their innocence. And that everybody who doesn't agree with my accusations is a suspected pedo-co-conspirator until proven innocent.

short talking points in case a wall of text won't do:
Attempting to weaken/undermine privacy/encryption = pedo-creepers that want to spy on kids
Attempting to attack free and open source software = furthering the goal of hiding csam in proprietary-pedo-ware
Appearing to combat pedo-philes would be the best predator-disguise for a pedophile.

Anti-Erdogan protests in Turkiye

Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and possible presidential candidate for the Republican People’s Party (CHP), was detained on two separate charges in a police raid on his home early Wednesday morning.

The police-state crackdown sparked mass protests across the country. After hundreds of municipal workers demonstrated in front of the Şişli Municipality, hundreds of students at Istanbul University organized a protest, defying Istanbul Governorship’s four-day ban on all protests.

Police reinforcements were deployed by the police chief to the security directorate in Istanbul where İmamoğlu is being detained, while crowds gathered behind the barricades to protest his detention. Thousands took to the streets in many cities, including Izmir and Ankara.

Police detained İmamoğlu on charges of “leading [a] benefit-oriented criminal organization” along with 106 people, including mayors, municipality officials, journalists and artists. İmamoğlu and seven others, including Şişli and Beylikdüzü mayors and municipal officials, were also detained on charges of “aiding the terrorist organization,” i.e., the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu (SEG), the Turkish section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, issued a statement on X condemning the Erdoğan regime’s police state repression, which abolishes basic democratic rights, including the right to vote and be elected, and calling for the immediate release of those detained.

US, NATO CAUGHT In Romania COUP As Election CANCELLED

Apparently Romania and the US knew, at the time they accused Russia & China of interference, that the social media campaign for Călin Georgescu which preceded his electoral victory was actually funded primarily by one of the major established Romanian parties. Ryan Grim compares it to all the times the DNC has funded far-right Republicans, ostensibly to have an easier candidate to beat, although some would say that if that was, in fact, the DNC's goal then their results have been very questionable. In Romania's case, the gov't just overturned the election entirely and falsely blamed Russia.

Blinken’s Manila visit triggers protest against US presence in Philippines

Manila: Protesters rallied against American presence in the Philippines on Tuesday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Manila to reinforce support against Chinese influence in the region.

The Philippines is Washington’s key security partner in Asia under a decades-long alliance, which allows the US to rotate troops into the Philippines for extended stays and build and operate facilities on Philippine military bases.

In the past two years, the partnership has expanded under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who in February last year permitted American troops to increase their footprint in the country.

China claims the disputed area almost in entirety and its military activity in the territory has been increasing, regularly encroaching on the Philippine part of the waters, the West Philippine Sea.

“These waterways are critical to the Philippines, to its security, to its economy, but they’re also critical to the interests of the region, the United States and the world,” Blinken said at a joint press conference with his Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo.

“That’s why we stand with the Philippines and stand by our ironclad defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty.”

The 1951 agreement obliges the US to defend its ally in the case of external attack.

Philippine vessels have been regularly attacked by Chinese ships in the parts of the South China Sea that are internationally recognized as belonging to the Philippines.

American troops have been patrolling the maritime area with Philippine forces since November, despite protests from Beijing, which says the US is not a party to the maritime dispute.

“Article 4 of that treaty extends to any armed attacks on Filipino armed forces, on public vessels, on aircraft, and that would include its coast guard and that would also be anywhere in the South China Sea,” Blinken said.

As he told reporters that the two countries have seen an “extraordinary expansion” in their partnership, protesters in Manila carried banners reading: “US troops out of the Philippines,” “Blinken war criminal, not welcome,” “No to US intervention in PH and Asia.”

The demonstration was organized by civil society, including BAYAN — the Philippines’ largest alliance of grassroots groups — near the Presidential Palace, ahead of Blinken’s meeting with Marcos.

BAYAN said in a statement that Marcos was “advancing the geopolitical interest of the US in the region” and “offering the Philippines as an extension” of the US military network.

“The country’s assertion of sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea against China’s aggression should not involve the opportunistic meddling of a former colonizer whose real motive is to preserve and expand its imperialist hegemony in the Asia-Pacific,” the group said.

It also drew attention to Gaza, where Washington’s other key ally, Israel, has killed over 30,000 Palestinians in daily airstrikes and land assaults since October.

BAYAN said the US was “the main supporter and enabler of the ongoing genocide in Palestine” and was “actively fanning proxy wars and conflicts in various parts of the world.”

Site Updates: i2p, Moderation changes, /k/ board & More

This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.

New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or http://leftychan.i2p/

Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.

New Roulette Board
>>>/777/
After some discussion, we decided on /k/ as the new roulette board theme, replacing /CHAD/. Archived threads from previous roulette cycles can still be viewed here >>>/roulette_archive/
Any suggestions for future roulette board rotations are welcome.

Other Updates
* Removal of the post counter - This has been hotly debated for a while, but after several failed votes the motion has finally passed.
* Dealing with AI - In light of the recent spam of AI generated prompts and images, we have voted to formally declare AI content exempt from normal moderation procedures. If you believe your post has been misidentified as AI by a mod, please let us know in /meta/.
* IRC now fully functional & bridged with other chats - ircs://irc.leftychan.net:6697/#leftychan
* Creation of a Telegram chat - https://t.me/+RegtyzzrE0M1NDMx

Plans for the coming year
* Continue to encourage freedom of discussion - We have no intention of clamping down on the ability of users to share their personal opinions and views on this site, despite repeated requests to do so. In fact, we plan on widening the variety of topics that can be discussed by unpinning the 'Right wing blood sport' thread (which we have already done) and having conversations about the status of wordfilters.
* The 2024 US election - We believe the upcoming US election will be an excellent opportunity to grow the userbase of the site. We hope for anons with a wide variety of views on the candidates to share their opinions, fostering a culture of debate online that is absent from many other more partisan platforms.
* Maintain our independence from leftypol.org - As predicted, our sister site has continued to go down the path of censorship, adherence to political correctness and moderator tyranny. For these reasons, any kind of reconciliation between the two sites seems impossible for the foreseeable future. Leftychan continues to welcome anons from .org who seek a more enlightened /leftypol/ experience.

Bannana Republic of Korea ?

Yoon Suk Yeol (emphasis on the suck) has declared martial law, out of the blue. Probably because he's loosing power, his approval rating tanked, there's scandals surrounding his wife and the opposition is blocking his political programs.

The pretext he gave for the martial law was "eradicating the pro north Korean communist forces"
If only there were communist forces about to topple the wannabe dictator of BRoK

Greece’s largest ever protest and general strike demand justice for Tempi rail crash victims

From WSWs:

Greece saw a huge show of strength by the working class and youth Friday, with hundreds of thousands taking part in the largest protests in the nation’s history. They were on the streets of the capital Athens and every other major city and town to demand justice for the 57 people who died in the 2023 Tempi train crash and an end to a government cover-up.

The protests were supported by demonstrations at more than 100 Greek embassies and consulates internationally, across all six inhabited continents.

The protests, marking the second anniversary of the February 28, 2023 deaths, were called by the Association of Relatives of Tempi Victims and were even larger than those it called at the end of January. Forced to recognise the mass oppositional mood—and as with the January protests—the ADEDY public sector trade union federation and the private sector General Confederation of Greek Workers called general strikes.

Fully 265 protests were held in Greece and 112 internationally—almost 400 in total. Major international rallies included Berlin, Germany and London, Edinburgh and Manchester in the UK; Rio in Brazil; New York and Boston in the US; and Sydney, Australia.

Participation in the latest Tempi demonstrations is larger than anything that the unions can, or would ever consider mobilising, threatening the downfall of the Conservative New Democracy (ND) government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Every inch of the main Syntagma Square in Athens was filled and its adjoining streets were packed with protesters. The rally was set to assemble at 11am, but the square was already full at not long after 8am. The daily Efimerida ton Syntakton (The Newspaper of the Editors) noted that masses of people were unable to get anywhere near Syntagma with the protest stretching as far as a kilometre away in Omnia Square and in another direction, the Propylaea.

Many brought homemade placards and banners condemning the government as “murderers” for overseeing the preventable deaths. Among the slogans chanted and on other placards were “I have no oxygen” and “Privatizations kill”.

“I have no oxygen” were the last gasping words of a young woman passenger who called the 112 European emergency number to report the crash, after the passenger train she was on collided into a freight train. This caused a massive fireball, with bereaved families convinced this was due to the freight train carrying an illegal cargo of flammable material—a fact covered up by the government.

Even the police, notorious for underplaying the size of demonstrations in Greece, said there were over 170,000 people just in Athens, and 325,000 people on the streets nationwide.

Greece has seen many widely supported general strikes since the imposition of mass austerity by successive government beginning in 2008. But the scale of the protests over Tempi, and the latest general strike are magnitudes larger as the entire country was brought to a standstill.

The strikes began the evening before, as Coca Cola workers walked out at a factory near Athens. Transport came to a halt as international and domestic flights were grounded by air traffic controllers, with trains, trams and bus services stopping. Seafarers, train drivers, doctors, nurses, teachers and lawyers all struck. Government offices closed, along with many shops and businesses, and hospitals only opened for emergencies. Even some of the most upmarket cafes, restaurants and bars closed due to the mass mobilisation.

The only transport running in Athens were trains to get protesters to the central squares. Even this was barely possible with Ef Syn reporting, under a headline “This has never happened before!”, that “metro stations have been flooded with thousands of people. The National is suffocatingly full, the trains have increased their schedules in order to serve the people who want to get off in the center, but people cannot fit into the carriages.”

The newspaper editorialised that “A huge social ‘tsunami’ has formed that is not limited to mourning, it is not satisfied with honoring the memory of the 57 victims of the crime in Tempi, passengers and workers on the fatal trains. But it wants truth, vindication, punishment of the real culprits.”

The authorities did everything possible to disrupt the protests and prevent people reaching the squares, even closing the Metro stations at Syntagma and Panepistimiou. A massive contingent of over 5,000 police officers, including riot police, was mobilised to confront the protesters—a substantial proportion of the 65,000 who make up the Hellenic Police nationwide. After several hours, and with the crowds growing, riot police used tear gas and stun grenades in Syntagma square forcing demonstrators to disperse. APE-MPE photojournalist Orestis Panayiotou was injured in the head by a police stun grenade.

Among dozens of arrests made by police were 25 protesters who climbed onto the roof of the Hellenic Trains headquarters and unfurled banners reading “Murderers”.

Many thousands refused to be cowed and returned to Syntagma to continue protesting. Thousands more came back into the square later Friday evening to protest. Speaking to the Reuters news agency, protester Evi said she was there to mourn the dead, “but also because the government has tried to cover things up.” Christos, a musician said, “The government hasn’t done anything to get justice… This wasn’t an accident, it was murder”.

In her speech to the crowd in Syntagma, Maria Karystianou—who lost her 21-year-old daughter Marthi in the crash and who is the president of the Tempi Victims’ Association—faced the parliament building and said, “I am addressing the murderers of our children. You treated our dead with disrespect and contempt. Human parts and bones of our children remain unburied in hidden locations. You have committed the ultimate sacrilege, and you will receive what is due through the vengeance of the dead.”

The anger of millions was spurred by the release on Thursday of a long-awaited report into the disaster by the Hellenic Air and Rail Accident Investigation Authority (HARSIA). Many details in the report shatter the government narrative and its cover-up.

The report states, “It is impossible to determine what exactly caused [the fireball], but simulations and expert reports indicate the possible presence of a hitherto unknown fuel”. The government has long denied that any fuel was onboard the freight train, maintaining the fiction that a gigantic fireball 80 to 100 metres in length that engulfed the passenger train carriages after the collision was produced by silicone oil on the train transformers.

“Serious information went missing because the site of the accident was not sealed,” the report noted.

In the face of Friday’s massive protest Prime Minister Mitsotakis issued a provocative and self-serving statement declaring the crash was down to “human errors” and “chronic failings of the state”, while refusing to take any responsibility for the mass deaths on his watch.

The mass eruption of anger over Tempi—which has brought to the surface opposition to the attacks that have been implemented against the working class over decades by capitalist parties of all political stripes—may now see not just Mitsotakis’ own downfall, but that of his government. The entire rotten political set-up in Greece is implicated. The pseudo-left Syriza (Coalition of the Radical Left) in power from 2015-19, deepened an austerity offensive against the working class without precedent on the European continent. As part of a privatisation spree, Syriza sold off in 2017 Greece’s state railway network, TrainOSE, for just €45 million euros, leaving an already under resourced railway service to the profiteers, with rail workers forced to rely on antiquated technology, including manual signalling systems.

As the WSWS noted, “Post-privatization, Greece’s rail network is one of the most dangerous in Europe. From 2018 to 2020, according to the European Union Agency for Railways, Greece recorded the highest railway fatality rate per million train kilometres among 28 European nations.”

Next week, after months of prevarication, Syriza, will join the social democratic PASOK in presenting a joint no-confidence motion against the government.

Our Savage Roots: An analysis on the modern world; or, on tending to the wild.

Mankind now wrestles between the dogma of tradition and the techno-feudalist dominance of the modern age, and now our very struggles; wars are capitalized and induced by seemingly ordinary men with dead eyes and a forced grim.

Widespread industrialism annihilating millions in the courses of history, our planet seethes with unrest, the frames of reel the ordinary man is too familiar with: the skeletonization of cities and the tons of broken bottles and used tissues that bob on the surface of our freshwater—a mirroring of a larger vision; a grand flock of black swans, that of gas masks and pale steeds.

The metropolis and its machines have no match against primal wrath, the supreme weapon—an envoy of writhing hurricanes, and volcanic spew, forging the soil we march over. From magma; the father of structure, new life and order arises, a testament to the transformative qualities of fury.

The world is constantly in a state of instability, although It may predictably orbit, our world is in a constant state of adaptable chaos and the only way to destabilize our current systems global is to induce them in speeds that rival our orbit.
The difficult task is crafting the metaphorical bolt of lighting needed to disorientate and what exactly will induce the most change, societal arrest, a global—screeching halt to industrialism and the rapidly consuming forces of which make up techno-feudalism, allowing us to return to a more simpler age.

Unpredictability and uncertainty is the very essence of systemic collapse, and such we must embrace these forces as they carry us onto a new age, where only the most sinister survive, this will only purge the most useless breeds; allowing for the ones who tend towards savagery to thrive in their newer existence. Misanthropy often arises and is bred out of the weakest aspects of human nature, the anti-human sentiments of the modern age arise out of the frustrations of how members of our species could be so underwhelming or horrid beyond our wildest fantasies; however, it is crucial to note that the strong reactions that we give to those who tend towards savagery such as mercenaries and serial killers are almost entirely crafted by dogmatic institutions such as the church and the state, and inflicted onto us on very young ages to pressure us into following orders.

Even some of the wildest and chaotic of our species can become like second brothers and sisters to you, if you gave them a chance, they could even become like a mentor or a teacher if you hop over the barbed wires of morality and they could even condition you into the radical warrior you ought to be in order to enact vicious change to rival the tyranny of this age. By taking undercover roles of insight, by immersing yourself in intellectual catacombs and tunnels that lead you towards unexpected wisdom and resilience, you can become a force to be reckoned with, a child of kali, an ubermensch.

Even to those who rise to the ceilings of capitalism, or to the elites of the greater movement will face hardship and even succumb to the effects of it all, embracing the sinister makes no animal invincible, it grants them the power needed to embrace their demons and make a legacy that survives longer than their short life, it inspires others to commit and embrace acts of terror, or the propaganda of the deed to induce radical change.

History may be written by the victor, but often times, the radical are sensationalized, examined and questioned, leaving those who didn't have the strength to survive in the distant dustbins and sands of time. The violated are forgotten with no memorials to call their own, but the hatred that may be directed towards you is the flame that'll keep the fire going within the radical environmentalist or accelerationist scene. You'll become the saint who bit down on the petals of the datura, the one who tended towards savagery and embraced a stronger more ambitious self who climbed over slothfulness and became a beacon on their own. True victims are only confined to a sheet of data, martyrs live forever. Our victory lies within the praxis of radical istishhad-esque eco-defenders, and such they must be trained or bred, they must confront their darker selves, they must tend to the wild, embracing savagery in the process.

Cloudflare is malicious software

For an entire month now, Cloudflare has been discriminating against alternative web browsers to the Google hegemony by refusing to "verify" them as legitimate browsers through their browser check loop. On some browsers this has been blatantly malicious by designing the loop to hang indefinitely while it rapidly consumes all of the user's memory until a program crash. This has included Palemoon, Librewolf, Waterfox, IceCat, Seamonkey, Falkon, and more. Basically it seems like anything that isn't a subservient Chrome fork or Firefox itself is being gatekept out of the web by Cloudflare. The likelihood that this is being done deliberately is high because a) they have been doing it for an entire month, b) the entire time they have refused to respond to developers reaching out asking them to fix it, and c) Cloudflare themselves have stated that their secret proprietary methods of fingerprinting "human" browsers are tailor-fit to each browser. Some links following this story:

In only the span of a few years, DDoS "protection" services have grown to exert so much control over the web that they can now play kingmakers in browser competition and coerce user choice. We need a solution to the DDoS protection racket more than ever. What can be done about this?

How do we steer black workers away from idpol and towards class consciousness?

These kinds of people are literally just black chuds, they worship "black owned businesses", they have their own black version of schizo-tier race science (Yakub), are religious extremists (just Muslim instead of Christian), are often antisemitic, homophobic, etc., and essentially just want a Fourth Reich but in Africa ("Pan-Africanism"). Basically take any /pol/ talking point but replace "Jews" with "whites" and "Europe" with "Africa". There's a reason the American Nazi Party regularly attended Nation of Islam conferences.
How do you get them to realize they have a lot more in common with the white proletariat than the black bourgeosie?

Comrades Unit To Fight Fascism Censorship

Comrades,

I come to you today to convey what I deem an urgent message regarding the tumultuous times that lie ahead. In brief, I have substantial reasons to believe that we are on the precipice of a significant escalation in censorship on a global scale. Indeed, I regret to inform you that this troubling trend seems to have already commenced. For those seeking to bypass these oppressive measures, I encourage you to focus on the tools and guides that follow.

For various reasons—some of which must remain undisclosed—I urge all to swiftly acquire fundamental skills to counter what I categorize as mid-level censorship tactics. Below are some points I can share to underscore the gravity of this situation.

Firstly, the United States made a genuine attempt to ban TikTok, an app that, while initially intended for lighthearted dance videos, has now evolved into one of the fastest avenues for disseminating information. It is worth noting that despite the attempted ban, my investigations (details withheld for security) have revealed a marked increase in censorship compared to the period prior to this initiative.

Moreover, I suspect that the Tor Project anticipates a rise in global censorship, which may jeopardize the Tor network's capacity to circumvent these mechanisms. However, I am constrained from disclosing further information on this matter.

Additionally, it has come to my attention that several social networks are actively suppressing links and discussions surrounding tools designed to combat censorship, such as Linux and Distrowatch.

Here is a concise list of essential tools, predominantly free software, that I recommend:

1. An affordable laptop or desktop.
2. A fully installed Tor-focused Linux distribution (TAILS OS, WHONIX, or QUBES OS); refer to their respective project sites for installation guides.
3. A Wi-Fi dongle capable of establishing a hotspot.
4. A standard Linux installation.
5. A trustworthy VPN, preferably not based in your country of residence, ideally paid for with cryptocurrency, cash, gift cards, or in some cases, free (e.g., Proton VPN).
6. Extra copies of all the above tools.
7. A de-Googled Android device (to be used solely for routine communications, except in extreme situations).
8. As many how-to materials as you can gather—books, videos, PDFs, or even a static copy of this message.
9. If possible, procure a non-publicly listed Tor bridge, keep it confidential, and request only a minimal quantity.

Short guides follow:

Bypassing TikTok Bans and Other Application Restrictions:

Required Tools: VPN, Android cellphone or tablet (preferably de-Googled Android)

To obtain applications that have been banned:
1. Remove the SIM card or disable e-SIM.
2. Install and/or enable a VPN.
3. Set the VPN to a country where the app is not banned.
4. Download the Aurora Store from https://aurorastore.org/.
5. Enable APK installation, then open the Aurora Store.
6. Search for and install the application.
7. Create a new account.

*Note:* Many apps impose bans based on SIM card country codes. To bypass this, remove or disable the SIM or use a tablet. Some apps may also restrict accounts based on physical location.

Creating a VPN Hotspot with PC or Cellphone:

Method 1: PC (recommended)
Required Tools: Wi-Fi dongle or card capable of creating a hotspot, a desktop or laptop (standard Linux distro instructions work best with Debian), an internet connection (via another Wi-Fi card, dongle, or Ethernet), a VPN.

1. Install and enable the VPN of your choice, enable network sharing, and activate the kill switch.
2. Use the command line to execute the following command:
```
nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlp4s0 ssid test password "test1234"
```
*Replace `wlp4s0` with your desired Wi-Fi device, `test` with your chosen name, and `test1234` with a significantly stronger password.*
3. Check your IP and run a DNS leak test on another device.

Method 2: Cellphone (not recommended)
Required Devices: Cellphone, cellular service, a VPN.
Certain custom ROMs allow you to route your Wi-Fi hotspot through a VPN. For instance, in Lineage OS, you can enable this by installing and activating a VPN before creating a hotspot, checking the option to allow the hotspot to connect to the VPN.

How You Can Help:
For our tech-savvy comrades, it is our duty to assist in overcoming the forces of fascist censorship. Educate others on the proper use of the dark web and VPNs. For those less skilled in technology, you can help maintain the free flow of information by disseminating any news you believe may be of benefit to others. I stand ready to assist you! (email me [email protected] )

Let there be no illusion, comrades—the United States has succumbed to fascism, revoking and denying passports to trans individuals, restricting the free flow of information, and, most alarmingly, building camps. We must anticipate that other nations will follow suit. Do not hesitate to reach out to me with any information you wish to share privately. (email me [email protected] )

“One cannot live in society and be free from society.” - Vladimir Lenin
Comrades, I do not wish for anyone to live under the yoke of fascism. It is incumbent upon us all to resist this encroachment on our freedoms. Together, we must stand firm against censorship.

Comrades, as we march resolutely forward on the path of progress, I shall provide you with weekly updates to keep you informed of our collective triumphs and challenges. Together, we shall forge a brighter future!

Clean, fast, professional, responsive & smooth design (Can also go with terminal)

Cross-platform [android, linux & windows] (Hard necessary)

File transfer [no limits] (Hard necessary)

Free & open source (Hard necessary)

Group chats [customisation & moderation] (Hard necessary)

History [clear, search system] (Favorable, but not necessary)

Single Mothers have devastated the Proletariat

Here's the killshot, single mothers predict how bad crime is in an area NOT POVERTY!
>The proportion of single-parent households in a community predicts its rate of violent crime and burglary, but the community’s poverty level does not. Source: D.A. Smith and G.R. Jarjoura, “Social Structure and Criminal Victimization,” Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 25. 1988.”
This alone should repudiate feminism in the minds of anyone, left or right. And the high single motherhood rate is the direct result of feminists' sexual revolution that encourages women to be promiscuous which inevitably leads to bastards.
Anyone that's traveled outside of the US can attest to this finding. While no poor area of a city or town is safe. They are not these Falluja style war zones that say Baltimore is.
Eliminating single mothers goes a long long way to eliminating poverty for workers. And it's in the best interest of children, which feminists and women pretend to care about.
These studies were aggregated on https://www.fixfamilycourts.com/single-mother-home-statistics. Here are a few other highlights
>“After controlling for single motherhood, the difference between black and white crime rates disappeared.” Progressive Policy Institute, 1990, quoted by David Blankenhorn, “Fatherless America: Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem,” New York, Harper Perennial, 1996, p.31
>Effects of Fatherlessness – Teenage Statistics
>63% of all youth suicides,
>70% of all teen pregnancies,
>71% of all adolescent chemical/substance abusers,
>80% of all prison inmates, and
>90% of all homeless and runaway children, came from single mother homes.
>Bob Ray Sanders, “Hey Y’all, Let’s Fill The Hall (Of Fame), Ft. Worth Star Telegram, Oct.28,2007
>Mona Charen, “More Good News Than Bad?”, Washington Times, Mar.16, 2001 (citing Bill Bennett, “The Index of Leading Cultural Indicators: American society at the end of the 20th Century., New York, Broadway Books, 1994)
How does the left, which claims to care about workers, answer for this. This complete lack of accountability for women throughout every sect of anti capitalist ideology.
Every single critic of women's sexual liberation is pilloried as a bitter loser or incel.
All while this same behavior has had a devastating effect on children and communities. Something that would have been blatantly obvious to anyone not brainwashed but none the less we've had scientific proof of for centuries. these studies go back to the 1930's
And yet in every supposed left wing circle if the idea that maybe we should pressure women not to have children out of wedlock because of the obvious downsides, you'll have leftist quote Engels and other feminist toadies on how regressive women not being able to sleep with whoever they wanted would be just like a handmaids tale. And how this is really the fault of the patriarchy somehow.
Since when in your cucked anticapitalists' did women's whoring around become more sacrosanct then children's welfare?
And before someone strawman's me as some CHUD that wants women to go back to the kitchen, I'll say that there's a dozen fucking forms of female birth control now. There's NOTHING to keep women from planning every single one of their pregnancies. Using a pill does not require you to give up your career.
If the left wants any sort of legitimacy they'd openly admonish women that willingly become single mothers. It is not some terrible circumstance that befalls them, it's something completely in their control.
And before someone brings up the recent abortion bans, abortion in the country is no where near abolished, you can still get one and the left should be all in on facilitating it.
The problem is there's not even social pressure to stop these tragic outcomes.
The left needs to answer to this now.

Why did the Western far-left become the 2SLGBTQRPGMMO+++ rainbow mafia?
It genuinely is perplexing to me that Western leftists seem to hold even the most absurd AGP sex fetish shit and BPD tumblr furry xenogender larping as the most ultimate leftist purity test, yet then will accept literal fucking Capitalists into the movement wihtout hesitation.
I used to think this shit was exaggerated, but it's honestly not, most western leftist spaces are just rainbow mafia/idpol obsessed and you can't push back on even the most absurd, eye rolling narratives, without getting asked to leave, or if online, copping a ban, this includes communities like leftypol(dot)org.
Even holding the same policy positions, as most Communist Parties in the Global South, will get you banned from basically any Westoid "Leftist" space. Leftypol lets you claim Xi is based or whatever, but if you actually espouse his policies, enjoy your ban because it doesn't align with Western Idpol shit.
Why is the Western left like this? Don't they realise that this shit makes them look like absolute pozzed student larping retards to the majority of the working class?
Would most Western "leftists" even want to live in a Working Class led society? They do realise the Working Class is largely soft-Socially Conservative right?

Good music in bad games

All right, fine… It's been 18 years, and I'll finally admit it! As much as I loath this insulting trash game for daring to call itself Mario Bros. (and the trend of dumbed down trash games that followed in its wake), Koji Kondo at least managed to belt out another irresistible banger for the main stage theme.

It's a testament to a composer's skill that I find myself getting this theme stuck in my head all the time, imagining that it's some nostalgic theme from a much earlier Mario game. But no, in fact it had the great misfortune to be attached to this turd. Well done, Kondo-san.

Sick of Trump.

Honestly, I'm sick of Trump already. He's just been going around, ordering the drilling of oil (aka destroying the fucking planet) and making a bunch of useless changes – none of which make America better. I'm a democratic socialist, and I believe that Trump needs to be IMPEACHED. Except that would leave Vance, who I'm not too fond of either. Trump has been ABUSING EXECUTIVE POWER, and I just wish he would fucking stop. What do you think about this?

The Beauty of Marxism-Leninism

What I love about Marxism is it's need to do something. Corruption exists in many world nations. The corruption of Capitalism too is arguably bad too in certain countries.

What I love about Marxism is its empowerment that only the people can make change.

What I also love about it too is that it gives those unemployed people a chance to use their skills to contribute to society.

I hope someone agrees to these points, and replies.

Incel culture is the sibling to Tumblr's fat acceptance movement. They're functionally and relationally equivalent.

Any enthusiasts of it on the board? I have read a good chunk of Andrew Kliman's Reclaiming Marx's Capital, but I admit that it mostly clears the deck of red herrings rather than makes an argument for a rigorous mathematical formulation of marxist economics.

In particular it does explicitly formulate how the tprf leads to recurring recessions (directly or indirectly).

Communism and Christ-Consciousness

In esoteric Christianity, there is a concept that the second coming of Christ will be in an etheric form rather than in the form of an individual man, that Christ will return as an awakening force rising in humanity as a whole. There is an emphasis which can be made on the concept of Christ as something transcendent, and this is present even in more ordinary strains of Christianity even if it is often obscured by sectarian pissing; by the doctrine of the universal church, the love of God touches everything, and the power of this is such to transcend all race, sex, and belief to move all towards a shared divine ideal which is personified in Christianity by Christ, but which is true in its meaning regardless of what name is attached to it. In essence, from this perspective, the truth of the universal church, in its message of peace, justice, and good will, and of good deeds and works overcoming death as man's only gateway to eternal peace, is so all-encompassing that it offers collective salvation to all in accordance with the actions they take even if they nominally differ in religious belief. It is thus like the northern star, a fixed light to which all people have turned for guidance, though they called it by many names.

You may be asking me, now, "ok, anon, what does all this religious wank have to do with communism?"
I'm glad you asked!

The philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth was built upon a mixture of pre-Talmudic Judaism and Hellenic eschatology, and it was defined, in large part, around a sense of imminent demise. It rejected usury, rejected the commodification of religion, rejected the deification of commerce & wealth & greed, and embraced communal living and universal collective good will, all inspired in large part by understandings attained through deep contemplation of death by those who believed doom was near. Jesus himself, by focusing on good deeds, becomes a symbol of how mankind can surpass death, a carpenter born in severe poverty who, without ever becoming rich, set a course for the enrichment of humankind by example. The collective realization of Christ-Consciousness could be argued to be a moral & spiritual mirror to the realization of class consciousness, as it essentially necessitates a spiritual rejection of capitalism in favor of collective wellbeing, a rejection of the transient values of capitalist materialism in favor of the immortal values of socialist materialism, an embrace of the eternal truth that life has no end at the death of the self and what succeeds individual mortality can be heaven or hell.

When faced with the understanding of their own mortality, the rich hoard, struggling in vain to replenish their youth & extend their lives with blood transfusions, arranging for all their prized spoils to be passed on to immediate family, doing the best they can to live in denial of the conditions they will leave behind when they turn to dust and return, eventually, to the cycle. For those whose greatest legacy is self-enrichment at the expense of others, death is, at best, a permanent end. At worst, death is an assurance for them that they will, when their matter is recycled, feel the penalties of the pain they have inflicted on the world in their greed, callousness, and malice.
For the Christ-Conscious worker, however, death is an inevitable bridge which can be crossed through collective work into a better world to come, a bridge all humanity is entitled to. This is an understanding that the path to liberation lies not in one man, and certainly not in the personal accumulation of wealth, but in a collective realization of divine potential. This realization offers a power which the rich cannot access, because while a rich man can pass on his personal fortune and write his name all over his mansion, he can never leave behind a world he hasn't damaged by his vanity, he can never leave behind a world to which he would want to return as anyone else. The best he can hope to do is lose everything he has valued and pass on his disease like a particularly passionate bug-chaser afflicted with full-blown AIDs. Only the united power of the workers can reach humanity's divine potential, and so it is the workers who can access true immortality, and whose deeds can attain for all the true kingdom of Heaven.

By this consideration, Communism and Christ-Consciousness are interlinked, twin concepts which may aid in eachothers' realization rather than hinder one another out of perceived dissonance.

Israel 'at war' as Hamas gunmen launch surprise attack from Gaza Thread Pt. VI

One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>483169

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 42,000. With over 10,000 missing, it's expected that current estimates are lower than the actual death toll, and excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Hamas political leader and negotiator Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran by an Israeli bombing.

Israel sabotaged the international supply chain to put bombs in 3,000 pagers and other electronic devices in Lebanon, resulting in thousands of injuries and several deaths, in a major blow to both Hezbollah and the Lebanese civilian population.

Israel launched an ongoing series of carpet bombings of the Lebanese capital of Beirut, killing several high-ranking Hezbollah commanders. A strike dubbed "Operation New Order" which used 80 2,000 lb bombs took out several blocks of apartment buildings and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on September 27, and also killed an IRGC commander.

In early October, Israel began launching ground invasions of south Lebanon, which are ongoing and have met resistance. Thousands have been killed, and over a million displaced.

On October 1st, in retaliation for the bombing of Tehran which killed Haniyeh, as well as for the killings of Nasrallah and IRGC commanders, and for the attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, Iran launched a missile strike on several Israeli airbases and Mossad headquarters.

Israel launched multiple attacks on UN peacekeepers at the southern border of Lebanon, including with chemical weapons.

The Israeli gov't declared the UN agency UNRWA a terrorist organization. Several settler groups launched attacks on the UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem before the Israeli gov't decided to seize the building. Israel also banned UN secretary general António Guterres from entering the country.

Israel is alleged to have used depleted uranium munitions in its attacks on Beirut.

Netanyahu visited the US again to speak at the UN in New York, and was met with protests.

More countries have joined South Africa's legal case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for the crime of genocide. Nicaragua, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, Chile, and Colombia have joined the South African case against Israel. Ireland, Egypt, Cuba, Belgium, and Maldives have also declared their intention to join.

Yemeni Houthi attacks on shipping, in solidarity with Gaza, have continued, effectively shutting down the Israeli port of Eilat, which has not seen activity in months.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK.

On August 29, 2024, the Center for Constitutional Rights urged the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to review its lawsuit against Biden for genocide complicity, arguing that the courts have a constitutional duty to assess the legality of the Biden administration's actions. On October 2, 2024, the 9th Circuit denied the petition and refused to intervene as a check on abusive executive power.

Starvation deaths have continued to increase in Gaza amid Israel's imposed famine.

The US gov't continued shipping weapons to Israel, in violation of US law.

A fourth self-immolation occurred in the US over the genocide when a journalist lit himself on fire in protest of how the media he worked with had spread lies to cover up US-backed Israeli war crimes.

And much, much more!

Neoliberalism responsible for devastating Johannesburg fires, says union
“For the working class, these policies have made ownership of housing” next to impossible “as every cruel cycle of interest rate hikes brutally strips them of houses, cars and other assets they are forced to sell.” In the absence of an emergency public housing program, masses of the working class are crammed into slums, sheltering in shacks built of easily inflammable materials. Lacking electricity supply, candle lamps are often used for lighting in these settlements.

War on the homeless: Red states asking daddy Supreme Court to help criminalize public homelessness

The US Supreme court has decided to hear the case, fueling speculation they will side with those wanting to criminalize public homelessness.

With the approval of the California governor as well.

This recently came to a head in Grants Pass Oregon, a small Republican county with almost 2% homelessness. Their approach so far was over 500 criminal citations being given to their homeless for sleeping in parks until a circuit court stopped Grants Pass from issuing further citations. Now Grants Pass is asking the supreme court to give explicit permission to all states to criminalize public homelessness.
https://apnews.com/article/grants-pass-oregon-supreme-court-homeless-encampments-a8dcddb518bd76b11d409666c06701b8

The DOJ disagrees however, stating “Regardless of any future Supreme Court ruling, the law” is clear that “officers lack reasonable suspicion to stop people for merely sleeping on public property when they have nowhere else to sleep,” in a criminal complaint against Phoenix Arizona's treatment of the homeless. https://prospect.org/justice/2024-06-20-scotus-homelessness-doj-war-on-poor-phoenix/

The subreddit r/SanFrancisco is also celebrating the possibility of public homelessness being illegal.

Geopolitics in the Linux Kernel

Well it looks like the United States and NATO finally figured out a way to sabotage the Linux kernel. Several Russian kernel developers have just had their contributions removed and their kernel contributor status revoked due to being on the receiving end of US economic sanctions.

Torvalds himself is playing along with this enthusiastically because of his own moronic Finnish national politics. This is an extremely concerning development that affects all of free software. If this can happen to the Linux kernel it can happen to any other libre software projecting, poisoning the entire concept of international software development.

degrowf

What's the deal with the degrowthists ?

For example this perspective from An Independent Socialist Magazine
<The Chinese government has promised to reduce the emission intensity of GDP so that China’s carbon dioxide emissions will peak before 2030.27 However, economic growth remains the Chinese government’s top priority. At the Twentieth National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping reconfirmed the objective to raise China’s per capita GDP to the level of “medium-level developed countries” by 2035 and to make China a leading global power by 2050. What will be the impact on ecological sustainability if China continues pursuing economic growth in the next several decades?
https://monthlyreview.org/2023/07/01/degrowing-china-by-collapse-redistribution-or-planning/
I suspect that the monthlyreview might have a anti-China bias based on their recent articles, which is tangential to the threat topic

Why are they seething that China wants to thrive economically while at the same time improving their ecological foot-print. Why would any socialist want to degrow ? If you read Marx he celebrates advancing the productive forces as something that will make socialism possible. To me de-growth sounds like people looking to go back to feudal agrarianism, rather than forward to socialism. They appear to be looking to undo the advances in productive capacity of industrial society. Like what used to be right-wing anti-capitalism 200 years ago, basically affluent people that were mad that industrial society could produce enough to end poverty. Why are there self proclaimed socialists pushing this ? Do they not realize that it would dramatically worsen living conditions for proles ? Is that the goal ? wrecking living standards of people while appearing to be a champion for noble causes ?

To me degrowth appears as a deception because it will not improve environmental conditions. More advanced technology is enabled by more potent productive forces, and those generally are less polluting. Like nuclear fission and fusion make much more energy while polluting significantly less than chemical fuel based power-generation. If you "de-grow" the economy you will also regress in technology. All the advanced tech stuff we can do now, is based on converting vast quantities of material using massive amounts of energy. So if industrial output is reduced we could not maintain our technology stack and go back to more primitive technology, which is much dirtier.

Am i unfair to suspect this is malice ? Are they just too ignorant to realize that if you remove the primary sector of an economy, all the other sectors will fall on their nose because they lack those primary sector inputs ? Have they never looked at statistics, economies that de-industrialize do not improve their ecological impact, they just stagnate.

Here is another de-growth rebuttable:
The degrowth delusion
<To abandon growth is to declare an end to progress. Socialists must reject the politics of eco-Thatcherism.

>waaaaa kids ruin everything

>I'm an adult and I should have everything catered to me because I'm superior in intellect

>Nvm that I was a kid who indulged in the same thing and I'm butthurt about growing up

It's another case of failed adults blaming kids for everything wrong in society.
It's ironic that most of the slop they complain about was the result of adults hijacking it, not kids.
Also ironically, kids were part of the "old web" as well. In fact, they were the previous generation of kids who were pandered to and they're now butthurt that they're no longer young and hip.

Propaganda

Has propaganda changed in the last decade? The sheer audacity of the mass media over the past few years on any subject of American imperialism has seemed to be a never-ending rollercoaster of escalations. Every time you think they've made the most stupifying, incredulous assertion you've ever heard, a month later they've moved onto something even dumber. I thought the level of propaganda around the Syrian war was unprecedented, but then the Ukraine proxy war happened. I thought, then, that the Ukraine proxy war has never seen a more extreme demonstration of endless lies. Lies about how it started, lies about how it's going, lies about where it's headed. An endless stream of brazen lies, it's been truly shocking just how much bullshit they expect the public to swallow without question. And then the Palestinian genocide began. Now Israeli fascists will post videos on social media of themselves committing barbaric massacres that everyone in the world can view, yet the mass media still wants us to believe the fiction of them being some kind of humanistic, moral democracy.

Is there a trend here? Does it seem like there's been a real change in the audacity of the empire's propaganda machines? Were previous imperial ventures this extreme in their attempts to deceive the public? Is it just the benefit of hindsight? I really feel like previous imperial ventures didn't have this level of Orwellian spin peddled on a daily basis.

why did shemmycucks decide to come here?

the world run on looks. everybody listen to me, i swear it's important

the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.
we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.

now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.

As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.

In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.

we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

Were the LaRouchies right about this one?

I haven't researched it yet, but I just saw this excerpt from a 1978 piece by Paul Goldstein for the LaRouchite Executive Intelligence Report which claims that Jewish Confederate Judah P. Benjamin and B'Nai Brith member Kuttner Baruch were crucial to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan.

There's a Dr. Simon Baruch who apparently was later revealed to be a Klan member, but I haven't delved deep enough to learn much about Kuttner Baruch and what the sources for the claim that he financed it are. Has anyone delved deeper?

Im just here to rant. Im too scaredof popular forums because of glowies. And truth be told I hate them fake intellectual types so much. The people whose opinions are set in stone, and you can't debate them or anything because they think they're right 24/7. I hate it when people who don't even know what a VPN is try telling me the government is gonna whoop my ass because I go on tor. I hate their snooty laughter, fake ass smiles, the way they scrunch their noses up at you, im so tired. and theyre so stupid too. idk just needed to ramble somewhere. I probably sound like eric harris rn but whatevs

Honestly? Just quit this place.

I'm serious. Just quit this place. /leftypol/ is basically a board for ideologically incoherent incels and schizos who take pride in how abrasive and alienating they are. Most of the userbase here aren't really communists, socialists or anarchists in any meaningful sense, they're just illiterate losers who wanna LARP on the internet as Tim Curry in Command and Conquer while wondering while they aren't getting sex.

So, give 'em what they want, and leave them with a dead board because nobody wants to talk to them. I went nearly a month without posting here, and when I came back, the quality of posting managed to get even worse.

Rest of you wanna know why this place is dying? Look in them mirror. Nobody wants to put up with abrasive schizoposters when they can have an actual conversation somewhere else.

Ragtime Thread

Thread for posting and discussing Ragtime, the enigmatic synthesis of various strains of American culture into what would become the sonic progenitor of jazz, pop, and the American music of 20th century modernity. Born out of a combination of the classical marches of Sousa and black American folk music, and coinciding with rise of early recording technology (including the player piano), Ragtime would become a major world phenomenon, as well as the beginning of the black songwriting/recording star in American popular culture.

It's generally pretty neat, basically.

Films You Just Watched Thread

Hello, the most recent movie threads have seemed a bit unfocused, this thread is for the discussion of movies we just watched and other anon's takes on them. So, without further ado I'll begin.

I just watched Parasite last night, it was pretty good I think, but not as cutting edge or witty as I was expecting. I thought it was a bit unfocused and threw a lot at the wall to see what stuck, but on the other hand, it was fun and more interesting than most. A solid 8/10.

I do an IMDB rating for each film I watch, for my own reference mostly, but you can see each film I watched lately and my rating if you're curious or want to ask about them. If other anons have something similar feel free to post.

post R9K culture

i feel rly bad because i was going to this girls curiouscat to recommend songs because i have like 3 friends and their music taste differs so much from mine

and like she was calling me “the music anon” and i was hey i got a friend who actually likes similar music, or rather, who likes this genre of music that my friends don’t

and then she went “get out of the shadows let’s be friends” i didn’t really want to but i went and did it, sent her a DM hello i’m the music anon tell me what you think about this /sends a clip/

then she literally ignored the song and just asked some whatever questions like since when was i following her, and i said since september, and that i was following her because my feed was boring since all my friends acted like boomers on twitter, taking themselves too seriously or being g*mers, and also that i didn’t have any friends to send certain songs to

then she asked me “how old are you” and i said “29, only got 1 more year to live sadly” and she said “well that explains the boomerisms”

then she ignored me again, and not just on DMs she never even answered 2 twitter replies i sent such as when she posted that “parents if your child listens to synth pop and post-punk they’re LGBT” and i replied like “what if i like dark wave which kind of mixes both”

and now i feel even weirder because she’s like 18 and i’m 29 with a fake twitter photo (that picrew crap) because i hate taking selfies (last one i posted was in 2017) and i’m wondering if she’s avoiding me because she thinks i’m some kind of internet pedophile???

not gonna lie feeling like shit i miss when i just had a pal to send songs to

fuck

politically incorrect but reasonable literatures

Thread about planning, programs, laws, and practice (by the state or others) that have the characteristics of being politically incorrect and or morally questionable, but reasonable and or executable.

My specific request, give me literature about sterilization (forced or not) of people of color, breeding programs, family planning, and eugenics. Not talking about one of those "nAZi BreeDIng ProgRAm DoeSN't WOrK!!! *insert soy" type of books and documents. I am talking about literatures that actually tells me how it is done and doesn't just smear dung all over it.

why are men like this smh

sex is procreation, not degeneracy or sodomy. The concept of "born this way" at least in its modern form was always more of a identity politics stance than anything else. Many of the people pushing it didn’t actually beleive it themselfs, but it was beleived that by presenting degenerate, lumpen behaviour as an inherent characteristic, rather than as a freely made choice, people would be more likely to soften up towards it.
A reflection of this is sometimes seen today with the category of "BDSM" or "queer" in which sexual fluidity (the idea that sexuality isn’t set in stone) is taken for granted most of the time, and its only when people criticise the parts of this ideology that haven’t been fully normalised yet that they retreat to "born this way" as a safer position which it is harder to attack.
BDSM and other forms of degeneracy in relationships aren’t reproductive and aren’t typically accepted by the masses due to this reason, outside of the parasitic west

What should the age of consent be?

In most countries it's 16 which I think is good. I'd say there needs to be some "Romeo and Juliet" exceptions added. No reason to have a 17 year old go to jail for dating a 15 year old.
15 is a just a little too young for the age of consent. What is hilarious is that burgers think just big age gaps are pedophilia while the average roastie in America becomes sexually active at 13, and often even younger.

Marxist Planning of Eugenics

<In a letter to the editor of Scotland's Sunday Herald, Dawkins argues that the time has come to lay this spectre to rest. Dawkins writes that though no one
wants to be seen to be in agreement with Hitler on any particular, "if you can breed cattle for milk yield, horses for running speed, and dogs for herding skill,
why on Earth should it be impossible to breed humans for mathematical, musical or athletic ability?"
<"I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler's death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and
forcing a child to take music lessons. Or why it is acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them," Dawkins wrote Sunday.
Breeding humans for PEAK PERFORMANCE would be a good thing imo. Too bad it'll happen only in a technologically advanced communal society with
polyamorous kinship, which could materialize in the near future.

I don't know what's the issue, just don't let literal retards or people with disabilities

literally who cares? there's no real argument against eugenics, not even moral arguments work that well, it's a win win situation

Friendly Reminder: Hagmaxxing is A Psy OP

For much of human history and in many cultures, the institution of marriage was a transfer of a man's daughter to his age-peer in exchange for a dowry. The daughter was treated as little better than livestock. She was expected to bear children for a man her father's age. A young man did not have sex with a woman his age unless she was a prostitute. He instead worked at agriculture, artisanship, or war until he was middle aged and owned his own homestead, at which point he would pay a dowry to his age peer in exchange for his daughter, to bed, and produce children.

Since this kind of age gap between men and women was normalized until industrial times, it is not uncommon for young men to lust after young women, but to find that the young woman is already with an older man, who has money. "hggmaxxing" is the late capitalist inversion of this. Women have been politically free under liberal capitalism for the first time in history. Not truly free from class society and exploitation, but free to become exploiters and members of the ruling class, and to accumulate property in their own names. Men have been downwardly mobile, have lost their monopolies on warfare, on education, on politics, and are now, for the first time, seeking older women with property for stability. To become an objectified himbo boy toy for some old "hag" is the inversion of the way women were treated for most of history.

Those ITT who object on the grounds that it is a "psy op" are missing that it is a natural byproduct of class society at this stage of development.

Those ITT who object on the grounds that older women are "disgusting used goods" etc. etc. are going to feel rather frustrated when they find this rhetoric turned against old men as well eventually. Promiscuous men will no longer be regarded "players" sticking their "key" in as many "locks" as possible, but as serial sexual harassers, and lecherous old syphilitic creeps.

I've been dating over the last 18 to 24 months. I've dated as young as 19-24. As old as my age. And what never ceases to amaze me is how demanding women my age are. It's absolutely fucking insane how entitled and deluded they are. It is literally easier to date women who are my basically the same age as my kids than it is to date women who are my age. Young women are just down to have a good time, go places, do things. Women within 10 years of my age start every interaction with a list of do's, don'ts, and expectations. At first I thought I just got a bad one or two. But, nope. They're all pretty much like this. No, ma'am. You're severely post wall, usually deep in debt, and tired all of the time. You don't then also get to inform me of what you expect out of me in any interaction we have. A 20 year old will just say, "I can't wait to suck your dick after dinner!"

It's exactly the opposite of what I expected it to be like.

thats been my experiences with the 40 crowd compared to the 20 crowd. the 40 crowd has a list of expectations you have to meet for her and the 20 year old is content with some weed and a large pizza and drinks and a shitty horror movie. I dont date often as im fairly bitter and jaded in my 40yrs but yeah my experiences with older females have been far more demanding of me than a 22yr old looking to get high and watch a cheesey 80s horror movie in her underwear

What are your thoughts, /leftypol/?

Chemical inferno in Georgia

A biolab exploded in Conyers, Georgia the other day. According to Jordan Chariton, it's now leaving 90,000 Georgia residents sheltering in place. Chlorine gas going into the air, 32 miles from Atlanta. This is after hurricane Helene just came just came through, and damage and flooding from Helene is still terrible in the southeastern states of Tennessee and North Carolina.

Earlier this year, Atlanta's neglected water infrastructure broke, leaving a huge part of the city without water for days. A lot of commentators are contrasting the dangerous deregulation of industry and middling response to Helene with the eagerness of the Biden admin to send billions to support the genocide in Palestine and brutal war in Ukraine.

Postal 4

Knew that my criticisms wouldn't be taken seriously on /v/, so I came here.

What had made the initial POSTAL 2 have integrity was how it laughed in the face of moral panic—whether on the conservative side against video games or book-banning, and later on the acts of organizations such as PETA.

The modern day's conservative moral panic is mainly focused toward the LGBTQ+ and immigrants. POSTAL 4 had an amazing opportunity to comment on these things(we already had an entire group dedicated to getting rid of books in the last game), they side with the moral panic narrative by only telling a story about the rabid SJWs.

The terrorists in POSTAL 2 were also done quite well; they could be found everywhere on the map(the grocery store, the mall, behind RWS) to show how ridiculous the narrative of "terrorists could be anywhere" that justified the Patriot Act was. They could have played it this way, too. They could have had random trans people hiding among the populace looking to cut your dick off. They could have had a mad university professor trying to hypnotize a local college campus into having gay sex. They could have had the book burners show up mid-way through that, but then target Postal Dude midway through because "Hey, look at those buttons on his clothes! Those are a secret symbol of the queer agenda! I saw it online!" and then have them target him as well.

Instead, POSTAL 4 just uses the cheap conservative joke that its ancestor would have tore to shreds and loses its shine because of it. It feels like if a modern sitcom writer tried to make a POSTAL game without understanding any of the bite that made those games special. I'm not going to pretend that they were fine art or anything like that, but it was a special component.

Newly released bodycam footage shows New York correctional officers beating handcuffed man to death

Per CNN:
Body-worn camera footage released Friday shows correctional officers at the Marcy Correctional Facility in upstate New York punching and kicking a handcuffed inmate in a fatal beating that is now under investigation by the New York attorney general.

Robert Brooks was pronounced dead on December 10 at Wynn Hospital in Utica, according to Attorney General Letitia James. Brooks, 43, had been serving a 12-year prison sentence since 2017 for first-degree assault, prison documents show.

CNN has reviewed the footage, parts of which show surrounding officers kicking and punching Brooks, who has his hands handcuffed behind his back in a medical examination room. Brooks’ face appears bloody in some of the footage.

At one point, an officer appears to shove something in Brooks’ mouth before repeatedly hitting him in the face. Another officer then punches Brooks in the groin before using a shoe to strike him.

The New York Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigations previously announced it had opened an investigation into Brooks’ death.

The Ghost Wars on Female Race has Finally Erupted

Men have declared spiritual jihad on women and it shows as they slowly begin to lose it. The real gender war has begun, not the fake one with countless pronouns that is being shilled everywhere in the media, but the real gender war between man and woman.
Women are about to learn a harsh lesson.

Don't talk to women, don't help them, don't ask them out, don't have dating apps, don't interact with them. If a woman approaches you be nice and respectful but do not flirt or overtly joke, treat them as an equal man and then leave after the reason for the conversation is over. If a girl comes up to you and flirts kindly turn her down, if she asks you out suddenly say no thank you, don't make up a reason she only has agency because of some external reason not because she likes you. Be vague when talking about your life or weekend plans, anything you do or do with them like hooking up will be picked apart and analyzed by her and her online friends.

If men can't display a modicum of power over society, this world and women, then I guess they don't hold much power at all.

You are a traitor and not helping anyone if you fall for their tricks.

Foss AI

Recently there has been a lot of commotion around large language model text based AI.
They are able to do impressive stuff, they give useful answers, and even can write somewhat usable programming sample code.

The most famous one currently is chatgpt, but all of those AIs are basically black boxes, that probably have some malicious features under the hood.

While there are Open-Source Implementations of ChatGPT style Training Algorithms
https://www.infoq.com/news/2023/01/open-source-chatgpt/
Those kinda require that you have a sizeable gpu cluster like 500 $1k cards that are specialized kit, not your standard gaming stuff. To chew through large language-models with 100 billion to 500 billion parameters.

The biggest computational effort is the initial training run, that chews through a huge training data-set. After that is done, just running the thing to respond to your queries is easier.

So whats the path to a foss philosophy ethical AI ?
Should people do something like peer to peer network where they connect computers together to distribute the computational effort to many people ?

Or should people go for reducing the functionality until it can run on a normal computer ?
I guess the most useful feature is the computer-code generator, because you might be able to use that to make better Foss Ai software in the future, and help you with creating libre open source programs.

Is there another avenue for a Foss AI ?

This past year's "beef" between Kendrick Lamar and Drake was nothing more than a contrived plot in order to distract the masses from the genocide in Gaza. Both rappers are signed to labels which are under the umbrella of UMG which is owned by ultra-Zionist Lucian Grainge. Every stream from Kendrick's music is being used to fund Zionist genocide of Palestinians. But this goes far deeper and I'm entirely convinced Kendrick Lamar is being covertly funded and propped up by the CIA.

Pakistan air strikes in Afghanistan spark Taliban warning of retaliation

From AJ yesterday:
The first cross-border strike inside Afghanistan since March came after a spate of attacks by the Pakistan Taliban.
Islamabad, Pakistan – The Pakistani military conducted air raids in neighbouring Afghanistan late on Tuesday night, targeting hideouts of the Pakistan Taliban, known by the acronym TTP, armed group in Paktika province, according to security officials.

While no official statement was issued by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that the attacks took place in the Barmal district of Afghanistan, near Pakistan’s South Waziristan tribal district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The interim Afghan government, ruled by the Taliban, also confirmed the attacks but insisted that civilians had been targeted. The Taliban spokesperson’s office told Al Jazeera that at least 46 people, including women and children, were among those killed in air raids.

“The Pakistani side should understand that such arbitrary measures are not a solution to any problem,” Enayatullah Khowarazami, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry, wrote on social media platform X. “The Islamic Emirate will not leave this cowardly act unanswered and considers the defense of its territory an inalienable right,” he added, referring to Afghanistan by the name given by the Taliban government.

The air raids, which were conducted for the second time this year, came just hours after Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadi, met interim Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul.

“Met Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi today. Held wide-ranging discussions. Agreed to work together to further strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote peace and progress in the region,” Sadiq posted on X.
