not as in “what location” more “what would force them to go to war”

What’s the best way to have a conversation with someone about their harmful underlying/unchallenged beliefs?

Is this a concept exclusive to film/art criticism or can it be applied to real life too? And if so, is it fundamentally different from the normal worrying about what people think of you/worrying about how you’re being perceived? Or is it sorta the same thing but from the angle of patriarchy? Or maybe something entirely different I’m not understanding?

From what I’ve gathered it’s kinda like Anarchism but you don’t like/think traditional organizing and thing you can get to Anarchism through vibes or smth??? Does anyone know like, what it is? Do Post-Leftists know what Post-Leftism is???????

Is it Judd Bimtim?

I know now to stay away from dating people who have any trace of racism towards me. I don’t understand why this happens though. Just that there’s a corelation.

Was reading about Wong Fei Hung today and his style of kung fu he was famous for. But he was also a physician doing TCM. Most of my knowledge of TCM is like acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbs and the like.

in post socialist states the notion that we are exploited by western europe is basically over. there is attention paid to individual cases but never the larger systemic issue at hand. on a deeper level, most people arent even aware that the initial plan germany had was to keep us as actual slaves and live in our land.

I can’t for the life of me figure out the oil shit at this point. It feels inevitable that prices will go up more before the end of the year but America keeps doing this will they won’t they thing with bombs.

What are some class-conscious bangers I can perform on Karaoke night? Most of my favorite songs happen to be kinda downers. Looking to get people hyped, but the best I can come up with is “Which Side Are You On?”.

I have been trying Linux for a year now. I know my way around the system, but I still feel like I rely way too much on AI when I don’t know what to do

I’m just imagining monkeys swinging around the big metal roof supports and like throwing jars of drywall patch at random customers.

Moment to moment I’m so fluid between what animals I relate to. So I haven’t picked one permanent one. Which I’m fine with.

And I specifically mean living with some degree of quality of life. Like not God Emperor of Humanity type life support shit but living with still some capacity to care and provide for yourself and live with basic dignity?

My understanding is limited to the fact that there are a lot of Wagner guys in the CAR and Sahel protecting mines and fighting US/French proxies. How significantly has Russia’s support for African governments been affected by the Ukraine war? Is Russia involved in the situation in the eastern DRC? Any reading recommendations for historical context? Or newsletters and publications to watch? Thank you

I kinda need to know what the thought-police deems illegal now so I can better weigh the risks of posting, anyone have good info on it?

My local fascists are getting a bit less lethargic and cowardly than before, and there’s really only a few anonymous local facebook/x/other accounts that are generating most of the heat.

Aside from insults like “reactionary Duganist loser.”

That’s about it. I mostly just wanna be able to run roms on it so I don’t need to buy GameCube games that I wanna replay

I almost don’t feel like the same person I was just 5 years ago. Granted, this is my first 5 years of working full-time, outside of schooling, so I’m no longer actively studying and practicing my mathematical skills.

I know white authors have a habit of describing dark skin tones with food or beverages and I don’t want to do that.

I occasionally see memes that appear to be communist parodies of Agartha/Hyperborea edits, all referencing “Red Shambhala.” When I look it up, all that comes up is a book talking about how Bolsheviks tried to influence Tibetan Buddhists? How did it go from that to a meme?

I’ve been wondering whether nationalism is inherently a left-wing or a right-wing ideology.

I’ve been kinda too busy to do em and I don’t know if they’re necessary anyway? Do you guys want em or are you cool with me forgetting to do them all the time heh

Had a finger smashed and the fingernail readjusted, and medic told me I can’t take it off for another three days

i remember this one essay/article talking about how the stack/hand signals in organizing meetings should be abolished, along similar lines as Jo Freeman’s tyranny of structurelessness. but i can’t find the article anymore

Hey everyone.

It seems like whenever I do hear about one, it’s pretty routinely violated(usually by a particular side like Israel but still). It feels weird to agree to one if there’s no intent to follow through.

This happens to me every summer and it’s a real bummer. My ass gets sweaty, rubs on seat or other cheek, and I’m generally in a constant state of rash/chafe until the sweaty season is over. Anyone have advice on how to prevent? Do those wooden bead seat covers do anything?

The absolute dregs of society i swear to god.

Hello Comrades, I have had no luck tracking down a online pdf copy of “What Every Mental Health Professional Needs to Know about Sex” by Stephanie Buehler. Can anyone help me find a copy, please?

Also how do I play mahjong?

Kind of rude. Not gonna lie. Do better Hexbear

With all the creepy psycho shit the people like Elon and Altman say, I genuinely think if they walked down a street and saw like a pretty flower or a bluejay landing in a tree they’d be like “AHHHH! Disgusting biomass! I wish to trample it and cover it in concrete!”

I’m looking for some educational content too.

The shorter the content the better. Especially if it ties in how Palestine will be freed.

And what allowed the Junkers as a feudal remnant to remain in power, how did the German empire function in the period?

Checkmate!

Something along the lines of how social murder kills many people but even so we are conditioned to fear the far less common violent and spectacular death

I’ve been reading Neoreaction a Basilisk and, through the books criticisms, getting more acquainted with the current theories right wing “intellectuals” are propagating. That’s led me to consider reading through at least some of Nick Land’s work, maybe to better grasp what theory Silicon Valley elites are huffing at the moment.

I know this sounds really ignorant but it seems like the news has slowed wayyyy down in the last week or two, and I suspect it’s because the USA is about to run out of gasoline and the bourgeoisie doesn’t know what to do about it. Maybe the world cup has something to do with it, maybe that’s a factor in other countries, but Americans generally don’t care about the world cup even though it’s being held in the USA. Is this just me or have others noticed the news slowdown and what could the reason be?

Is Independence Day the most reactionary seppo holiday? Discuss. Also complain about flag displays, parades, fireworks, etc.

Treatin’ myself, gonna make it from scratch

“is Fourier wrong when he calls factories ‘tempered bagnos’”

Hello, aquarium enthusiasts!

I tried to think of the dutch word for ‘maroon’ recently, you know the societies built by escaped slaves in the new world, and the dutch phrase I remembered was forrest-[n-word]. And theres no way thats still used.

And which server should I join? I want it to be similar to Lemmygrad or Hexbear

There’s a plasma center opening near me. I could use extra money. Is it worth it? What are the risks? If you’ve done it, what are your experiences?

I downloaded Instagram to talk with some of my foreign friends. I decided to peruse what sort of left-wing space it had, expecting the standard Reddit-esque reactionary anti-communism. Instead, I found a sea of ultra/leftcom nonsense: hundreds of posts and comments of phrase-mongering and dogmatic nonsense, not to mention gross misunderstandings of Marx, Lenin, and Mao, as well as either entirely ignoring or looking down on modern work such as that done by Chinese scholars.

Someone very close to me is taking a three week trip to the UK starting next week and I’m low-key worried they’re going to get stranded on another continent.

Kind of a bourgeois question but whatever. People do actually listen to these radio stations. They will actively seek out radio stations that really do just play the same five or ten rock hits from the seventies, maybe mixed with some modern garbage. Why do they do this? What is going through their minds on the conscious and unconscious levels?

For about a year, a jihadist insurgency has been active in large parts of the territory. Mali in particular gets accused of being another Syria waiting to happen, but the conflict moves very slowly. The mainstream narrative is that atrocities committed by national gov’t and especially Russian forces are driving people into the arms of the jihadists, basically saying “we warned them about Rudsia, they should have stuck with the French”.

You may consider wind resistance.

I want to spread the Plaguefather’s holy gift of decay.

I think Palestine Cuba & LGBTQ flags are a must. i wanna have soviet/chinese/vietnamese/DPRK but those might scare the normies.

And we already know you’re a leftist who doesnt approve of ancient Spartan society. Saying you’d get killed for going John Brown mode isnt a fun answer. Fun answers only.

I hate the past. To me, the past is something we should learn from but never return to. I have no desire to return to the days where gay and the r-slur were every day jokes and and “Tits or gtfo” was a common reply to women on the internet.

I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t think electorialism will be our liberation, but it is a tool which is available to us.

One of the things I see a lot from Western sources is how China is the number one source for dragnet fishing vessels. I was wondering if anyone around here had any actual facts behind this? I would imagine China needing to feed so many people and one of the places that would be hit hardest by the destruction of the ocean would have regulations.

I know my mom’s fave is Con Air

just need a reference thanks

Can I move that money to another account or divest it from index funds or something? Please help, the stock market is scary and confusing.
