ITT: movies, anime, music, feels, e-celebs, internet drama, fetishes, shitposting, etc.
This is a voluntary thread that users can choose to post in, if… I forgot the rest of whatever the old OP was. Honestly, I just wanted to bring this old thread back.
So, did y'all hear the one about the bo being shit
Evan Harris
Yeah, nuke the board again, lol.
Michael Phillips
Yeah I heard
Blake Ortiz
It's not the same. We were the fucking Fifth International, man. I loved shitposting and occasionally learning with you autists. Now what? BO just went full Trotsky. You never go full Trotsky. This is the fucking Sino-Soviet Split all over again.
Kayden Richardson
whats the deal with the bo?
Camden Butler
the best we can do now is to post normally and make more threads, lets try to recover the discussions we left hanging
Oliver Rivera
good taste and good suggestion.
Jack Cox
How would we deal with the pseud problem under socialism?
Isaiah Adams
Grant Morrison was right and capeshit comics are a form of sigil magik that will accelerate humanity's evolution and transform all of humanity into supermen who will usher in a communist utopia. Discuss.
Brandon Wood
Roo is having another Twitter meltdown.
Owen Bennett
what about this time?
Sebastian Cruz
Who cares? It's Roo.
Luis Gonzalez
Guys, don't watch Japanese horror movies while on mushrooms.
Carter Adams
Grant Morrison is wrong and has spent his entire career doing a shitty impression of Alan Moore. Also magic/magick/magik isn't real, and heroic capeshit is protofascist propaganda regardless of the political intent of the author.
Ethan Torres
I just woke up from idk if this was a nightmare or not but I seriously unironically talked with Joe Hill. Also what the fuck happened to the board?
Owen Ross
Moore and Morrison talk about different subjects in their work
John Adams
I should say he had a very nice voice, a bit with an accent but it was an overall nice voice
Ryan Anderson
Why have you not adopted Comrade Harell thought?
Joseph Nelson

Liam James
Morrison is better
Jason Ortiz
Okay so originally I was going to make a pisstake post based on the lyrics of "I Dreamed I saw Joe Hill Last Night", e.g., "Did you say, Joe, you're ten years dead! only to have him reply with I never died, said he"
Then I realised today is actually the fucking no kidding 102nd anniversary of his death (19 Nov 1915, timezones permitting).
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night Alive as you or me Says I, But Joe, you're ten years dead I never died, says he I never died, says he
In Salt Lake, Joe, says I to him Him standing by my bed They framed you on a murder charge Says Joe, But I ain't dead Says Joe, But I ain't dead
The copper bosses killed you, Joe They shot you, Joe, says I Takes more than guns to kill a man Says Joe, I didn't die Says Joe, I didn't die
And standing there as big as life And smiling with his eyes Joe says, What they forgot to kill Went on to organize Went on to organize
Joe Hill ain't dead, he says to me Joe Hill ain't never died Where working men are out on strike Joe Hill is at their side Joe Hill is at their side
From San Diego up to Maine In every mine and mill Where workers strike and organize Says he, You'll find Joe Hill Says he, You'll find Joe Hill
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night Alive as you or me Says I, But Joe, you're ten years dead I never died, says he I never died, says he
Blake Phillips
Omg bless his heart ;~; Harrell is my comrade, always.
Austin Lewis
Jesus fucking Christ and I'm Salt Lake it's still the anniversary.
Joseph Moore
There is literally nothing wrong with being a pseud.
Also, nice satanic trips.
Hunter Davis
Well, what did he say then? You're the prophet of Hill, let's hear his advice.
And if all he had to say was "Don't Mourn, Organise!" then I reckon he should have stayed asleep and saved his effort.
Nathan Lewis
I can't remember much in detail but he just sounded sad, like he said so much has changed and for the worse, saying how the American worker is so far gone. Then a lot of it blanked out, I want to just hug him but before I could I woke up. I actually do want to mourn a little for him even if there's no possible way I could have seen him in real life.
Josiah Harris
Check out this hot take from our friends over at r/socialism. Apparently Chapo is too racist and non-radical for them.
John Bennett
Someone recommend me some good, soft/er porn? The porn I watch has gotten too crazy & I want to get back to basics. Remember to spoiler if you post pics.
Levi Reed
Wtf CumTown is Asserist
Kayden Allen
It has 3 dislikes so it seems they don't like it
Ryan Wood
Compassionate gay porn
Jonathan Lopez
Yeah, I just don't know where to begin. I like some les stuff, but preferably straight porn is what I'm looking for atm. Compassionate is what I want, that's a better way to clarify it. Sometimes other posters here post some compassionate manga stuff, so I thought those anons may have something to share. I don't like comics though for my porn; only videos.
Andrew Thompson
That's no good, comrade. Poor Joe.
Still, I think we've got a better chance of socialism today than we had twenty and thirty years ago, so hopefully we can prove old Joe proud.
We have fed you all for a thousand years— For that was our doom you know, From the days when you chained us in your fields To the strike of a week ago
You have taken our lives, and our husbands and wives And we're told it's your legal share; But if blood be the price of your lawful wealth Good God! we have bought it fair.
Ian Powell
Thank you for the smile of some of Joe's words. :') I'm gonna go back to sleep now and hopefully I can see Joe Hill again..maybe ;w;
Julian Taylor
why can't we all just get along?

Oh shit, you're right, but that wasn't what I watched.
Leo Kelly
It's time for you & I to go to our bunker. Coochie can come, too, I guess. Seriously though, a couple of hours ago someone nuked the board. Still awaiting comment by BO to explain what's going on. So, drama, basically.
Xavier Sanders
kek, good one

Joseph Cruz
Remains to be seen… But someone finally linked me to BO has responded already apparently, but I haven't read the entire thread, yet. I must've missed it because it was stickied with the regular stickies.
Oliver Russell
Why can't we just have nice things ffs
…also I'm not sure if you'll see this but to the Leninhat poster from the last thread I saw your post yesterday but I thought I'd respond tomorrow but now it's gone and I can't remember all of it. Just thanks for the advice anyway if you ever read this.
Jeremiah Mitchell
Does anyone know if the user made the Joe Feel webm?
Also comrade tbh that is pretty spooky: perhaps you are destined to carry his legacy forward.
Eli Gomez
Same. Too much drama lately.
Brandon Baker
Can't even leave you yanks alone overnight without you messing up the entire board.
Thomas Martin
/britleftypol/ WHEN?
Matthew Bennett
feel weird since making this post not quite sure why
Wtf is this I didn;t even read watchman by the fuck is Clark Kent there seriously wtf.
What next, V teams up with Batman?
Aaron Wood
Originally, Watchmen is a comic published by DC that do not take place in any of the DC universes, or use DC characters. Recently DC decided to fuse Watchmen with their universe because fuck you.
Wyatt Johnson
Reminder that Holla Forums was created in part to solve the problem of corrupt board owners.
Alexander Lee
I know, I did see the Zack Snyder film (which is good btw, not a work of high art but is good) but the entire point of Watchmen was to be a deconstruction of superheroes in a realistic world. Why fucking fuse them REEEEEEEEE.
Also does that make eternal president Nixon cannon for all DC now?
Colton Jones
Nice
Luke Cook
I'm not sure 'deconstruction' is the right word, but I'm not even sure what 'deconstruction' means anymore. People often misunderstand Watchmen because they think Moore hates superheroes, but it's not true, he just hates the way they are being treated by Marvel and DC.
Carson Smith
I don't know if this thread can be used for requests, but do anyone have an edit of Alunya with a glowing eyes effect? If not a glowing eye Zizek will do it.
Liam Collins
I don't know much about comics or The Watchmen but it does seem like a much more interesting concept than most other comics and Moore seems like /ourguy/
So this guy died. Was he the original Holla Forumstard?
Jayden Nelson
Yeah
Austin Roberts
I mean he was actually charismatic which is no something that Holla Forumstards have.
David Cox
I don't want this board to die, guys.
Brandon Reyes
Same. My old home board on 4ch is slow af these days and this is the only place on the Internet I really enjoy anymore.
Jeremiah Johnson
I wouldn't really have any place to go tbh. Hopefully things will settle back down in a day or two. Holla Forums is in full force right now trying to shit up the board even more.
Easton Morales
Whoever set up .pl is pretty god tier. It just traps so many 4/pol/ idiots into posting their shit over there.
Aiden Murphy
April first hack was worse, at least you can still post. Beside as long as Holla Forums is usable, no big alternative will emerge
Hudson Phillips
...
Ryder Turner
Is 4/pol/ trying to capitalize on this shitfest as well?
Cameron Cook
I'm not worried about the board being killed but about the userbase splitting even more and people leaving.
Chase Butler
Yeah, I guess we've had worse. We were among the lasts board to come back up, despite being the 3rd largest board then.
Chase Perry
a real human bean
Jaxson Brown
Theres at least a few new stupid 4/pol/ posts there so they might have done something. Nothing big though so just might be coincidence. Just your normal "communism hasn't been tried amirite? 14/88 triggered cucks leftie liberals bernie soy" posting.
I'm not trying to defend him (I actually loathe him) but does anyone have the video?
Jason Fisher
What a fucking beta. Nothing in there involves him advocating for physical violence, but it's only a matter of time. Is he still tenured?
Levi Thompson
Excuse me?
Did you hear something?
Aiden Green
I love how he sets violence and physical confrontation as the underlying axiom of a sensible conversation.
Joseph Thompson
You telling me this guy could get a tenure but Graeber couldn't? So much for the "commie teachers" torture chamber.
Angel Long
Did you forget this: *high five*
Asher Johnson
Huh. Never hit that filter before.
Gabriel Barnes
Had to search a bit for it but found it youtube.com/watch?v=s4c-jOdPTN8 At 19:50. Some people are rightfully criticizing it in the comment section, with people claiming "it's just a metaphor, bro"… Lmao.
John Cox
I went to community college and they shove neoliberal shit down your throught so much but the most "communist" is them forcing you to read Orwell only my history teacher making any comment that he was a socialist. They also briefly talked about the election and how they disagree a LOT with his degulation and his pro-coal stance
Nathan Anderson
Reminder:

read mark fisher I'm getting strangely nostalgic for being in the trough of depression, cuddling up with hauntology music and sorting through photos of old Labour politicians trying desperately to look like they have control of events while feeling cosmically isolated with only vulgar Keynes for a pal.
Jose Powell
I've read it, fäm. It sort of helped with my depression because it, at times, just reads so uplifiting, ya know.
Thanks and Jesus H. Christ, this man is a walking parody. Who apart from Holla Forumsredditors has used that ffs.
Cameron Turner
What did they mean by this?:
Kevin Stewart
If you don't like posting here, go somewhere else.
Aiden Harris
I really wish there was another place to discuss animu that isn't cancer or dead.
Camden Nelson
They meant "I am going to skullfuck this board until I'm the only one posting."
Aiden Johnson
It's fucking July 4th all over again. BO fucked with a few autistic morons and those morons are acting like its the end of the world. "Ooooh look at how many posters we've lost!" Bullshit. Most people didn't notice or care, and that's the same case here.
"Ooooh, look at how many posters we've lost!" It's the week before Thanksgiving you fucking retards. Holla Forums is down on users because the majority here are students who are either getting ready for exams, getting ready for fall break, or already on it.
BO can be a prick but aside from these loud morons buttmad that BO teased them are the only ones that care.

I'm saying muh Thanksgiving doesn't account for the board losing posters. Also who tf would just stop posting because of holidays.
Jose Roberts
hey, does anyone have that pic of the gorilla arresting the gorilla with all the gorillas watching (gorilla faces are thinkinggorilla crudely shopped on top)?
Evan Williams
I need to re-read it. Can't remember much of the content (which has sort of fused with his blog mentally) but it was one of those works that I hope everyone experiences in a similar situation intellectually and mentally where it both provides further prompts to thought, while also having commonality with current threads of thought to make them think "Hang on, no, I'm not crazy - this is legitimately a line of thought shared by other people"
I did find it very empowering as well. In particular I think the bit on depression and the privatisation of stress. (Although I daresay it reinforced a slightly dangerous view where depressive realism was accepted as simple realism, although I could instead argue that my present 'recovery' is the abnormality. I would dispute this given it's roots in a more optimistic political territory, though. [i.e. I now believe neoliberalism is vulnerable and change is possible.])
If you haven't, highly recommend digging at random through his blog too k-punk.org/ Although that might be a strange experience if you're not digging in the way I was. (Since I took a weird sort of way of searching for all sorts of things, even TV shows I like - but that's only really possible if mutually British.)
It's fucking Kronstadt all over again. Trotsky fucked with a few autistic morons and those morons are acting like its the end of the world. "Ooooh look at how many people we've killed!" Bullshit. Most people didn't notice or care, and that's the same case here.
"Ooooh, look at how many people we've killed!" It's a petit-bourgeois counter-revolution you fucking retards. The baltic fleet is down 1200 sailors because the majority are Russians who are either completely incapable of sailing a ship, having a 2:3 K:D ratio against unarmed fishermen, or alcohol dependent.
Trotsky can be a prick but aside from these loud morons buttmad that Trotsky "suppressed" them are the only ones that care.
Aaron Rivera
It's fucking 1983 all over again. Corbyn was elected by a few autistic morons and those morons are acting like its 1997. "Ooooh look at how many people are showing up at our rallies!" Bullshit. Most people didn't notice or care, and that's the same case here.
"Ooooh, look at how polling points we've gained!" It's a weighting error you fucking retards. Corbyn is gaining in the polls because the polling companies are sampling students, overrating a normal increase in polling for the opposition during a campaign, or overrating an expected increase in turnout following Brexit..
Corbyn is a prick and these loud morons buttmad that Tony teased them are the only ones that care about these polls.
Lucas Butler
Canada also has thanksgiving dude
John Morales
Wow tis is perhaps the shittest analysis of british politics I have seen in a long time. Like hon… wait a second: BURGER DETECTED
Anthony Lopez
I take exception to that. It can't be the shittiest analysis, if it was the shittiest analysis it would legally have to be published in the spectator.
I'm just turning some guy's post into copypasta. Contextually, it should be read as though it was written before the 2017 election happened.
Joshua Rodriguez
except they're weird and celebrate it in the middle of october for some reason
Carson Lee
Tbh never read the Spectator in my life.
Also fair enough, I mean who the fuck could see the 2017 election and come out with "this is 1983 again": doesn't everyone know british politics has reverted to the 1930s?
Levi Adams
charles manson unironically was a good musician. And like said no poltard could ever assemble a cult of followers like he did, especially since Manson banged his groupies.

What makes it even more frustrating is Holla Forums spewing into the rest of the boards has their vernacular the new sort of generic “ironyposting” dialogue, so even when you’re not dealing with a real Holla Forumsyp they talk like one.

At least he's being honest.
Michael Morales
Rorschach isn't himself a fascist, but he served as a critic of Ditko's objectivism. If you see yourself in him and see that as a good thing you probably aren't a very good person.
Cyborg's story was supposed to be the film heart according to Snyder. I guess all that had to go so it wouldn't undermine Whedon's (and WB's) "See? He's back and now he's totally like Chris Reeve guys! pls don't leave. ;_;" Superman. Practically all of his dialogue are reshoots. Yes, they removed Clark asking about the ring for quippy dialogue.
Carter Lee
Love how Rorschach was supposed to be a paranoid hypocrite whose random acts of violence ultimately did nothing but idiots latched onto him because "le never compromise" meme
Cooper Wilson
this true?
Jason Martinez
Makes sense. Whedon's distaste for black people is well known.

Hurt my fucking head. The dark knight came out when I was 13, why 10 years later I see people still dressing up like him? It will be the same fucking thing with harley quinn now. What the fuck. I fucking hate capeshit. Holy legit good where Begins and Dark knight. The only good thing in rising was catwoman because she's hot. Hataway is more hot than Margot robbie.
Italian anarchist today are a fucking joke. Every 6 months they set something on fire for no reason, they have 0 presence anywhere else.
Justin Scott
That's what I suspected. Too bad some peoples are more interested in being the most "radical" and anti-liberal possible than in actually getting shit done.
Cameron Moore
They are so meaning less that i'm pretty sure that there is not even an actual organization. People who do shit like this are small groups, i'm talking less than 10 people, that I'm pretty sure are more social circles than anything else

Any good non-political movie recommendations to watch?
I prefer something lighter, with a plotline that is interesting/entertaining to follow. It can even be some trendy hipster trash, as long as it's full-feature, well-written and could be torrented. I'll be forever greatful for anons who could throw a couple of recs at me, since when I made thread for music recs a while back, I got a load of interesting stuff to listen to.
Jordan Nelson
all of snyders films look like a nightmare is why but literally why do you care about superhero movies stop wasting your time, money and effort caring about porkie slop.

I was certain Adam Curtis announced a new film after Hypernormalisation but I've never heard anything about it or even seen another trailer.

His blog is weird af, but I like his films. Hypernormalisation is one of his lesser work imo, it sort of lurches between disparate ideas and doesn't make any coherent point. My favorites by him are 'Century of Self' (which kinda solidified my stance as a Communist tbqph) and 'It Felt Like a Kiss' (*not a documentary I guess, more of an Experimental Assemblage Film).
Juan Ramirez
Not him but good taste, m8. Seventh Seal is definitely one of my favourite films.

What were you expecting, her to wait around forever for you to finally approach her?

I didn't wanted to rush or pressure her. I thought it would be inappropriate to do anything else but wait for her to approach me again.
Leo Price
You have to be the most active person in the room, and that doesn't neccisarily mean whatever stereotypes of "alpha" they throw around.
Just be interesting. Being interesting attracts human beings. Go out and do interesting things, read books that have to do with interesting topical shit, get taste in music, get taste in clothing, try to shave a little bit more, and don't be afraid to be insecure.
Over doing anything else, ignore what people have to say. Even if you have to fake it, just appear more interesting (than you might really be)
Aaron Gray

when I'm with other men because that’s how I usually behave. It's expensive. I have a real hard time reading stuff I'm actually interested in. I would fall asleep if I try to read normalfag stuff. Oh boy I've been listening to Deathmetal Black Metal and Grind/Porno gore all my life, normal fag music is just too gay for me. that's bourgeois and expensive. I have a little facial hair and I always keep myself well shaved. I have to pretend that I'm not insecure, but that's just pretending, in reality I have no idea how’s that's done. I actually have to hide my power level, people usually react negatively to my true self, even in here, I have to calculate everything I say, even though I don't namefag in here.
Ok thanks.
Blake Jenkins
It might be. But then again, so is a relationship. And that's what you wanted with this, no? You didn't want a one night stand with someone.
That costs money. People cost money. It sounds conservative but when you want to do this dating business it's better to do so from a position of even the slightest bit of financial security to appear like you can casually dabble in other things. If you don't dabble in anything you might as well wear a giant cap saying "I'm a big boring person" on it.
This does not mean become a fedora.
Depends what you mean by normalfag music. There's a wide variety of it out there.

Yes. there is nowhere to run from capitalism. I'm even more depressed now. I'm a student, I don’t work and if my mom wanted to kick me out of home (here in Mexico, you can stay with your parent's until you get married of finish your studies) I most certainly would end up homeless. So only rich people can date and have fun. Oh well. there is no escaping. I would prefer to wear a dildo on my forehead. There's two types of music, as far as I know, the music I like and the music I don't like.

Is cringe culture a creation of late capitalism?
Colton Murphy
that is a very good question although i think there's a distinction to be drawn between different varieties of cringe in either case (mostly building on the image). there's a sort of "oh, that's enjoyably outside social norms" cringe that should be encouraged and nurtured and laughed at "gently" because it doesn't harm anyone FOAM ADVENTURE yeah fuck you I'm saying it, and then there's another kind of cringe that people should genuinely be bullied and made to feel horrible about themselves for.
you will be unsurprised to learn that in the latter kind I put alt-right in general. Even if it was a harmless sort of LARPing thing it would signpost a minor worldview stupid enough that it should be crushed.
in a more vulgar sense we might simply distinguish between good and bad people. You can laugh at-and-with good people, bad people need to be sent into the tanks for refurbishing into fishfood.

ask your interlocutor to distinguish between the major schools of macroeconomic thought. (make sure you say "macroeconomic", not just "economic") If they by some miracle of god manage to get as far as "Keynesian" demand they subdivide between different types of Keynesian, etc.
This is all within the realms of capitalist thought, of course, but it should reveal that they don't have a fucking clue about economics.

Brandon Lewis
have to start adding spurious metadata to some songs to get google to stop automatically putting them in albums rather than the folders I've neatly created very annoying.
i.e. if I have "Japan - Ghosts (1981)" in my "Stuff Mark Fisher Mentioned" folder, the phone automatically puts it in a "Japan - Tin Drum" folder instead, making it a pain in the arse to access sequentially with other songs that I categorize similarly, rather than by same artist. If however I add spurious data like "Genre: Choon" and "Year: 2017", it fucks off with the automatic categorization.
there doesn't appear to be an option in the default Play Music app to make it fuck off (and even sticking it on Airplane mode so that it should be unable to download art doesn't seem to work. ) which is an infuriatingly bad (and doubtless intentional) design decision. I accept this is in part my own odd behaviour causing the problem (using folders slightly like playlists.) but it's still an irritating lack of choice provided to the end user. Particularly since (from what I can tell by fucking about with names, etc.) it shouldn't be able to know what song is what. (i.e. if I rename Ghosts to "Moonman - K.K.K." and strip all metadata visible in Windows file menus, it would still be categorized correctly.)

If you consider teenagers making fun of people for not fitting into or not being in their neatly designed and categorized identity boxes-wait nevermind, yes it is a creation of late capitalism. Everything about it: how it propagates, why it exists, what purpose it serves, etc could only exist in this historical moment.
Unless you mean cringe culture as in just making fun of people for being weird, in which case i dunno
There is something reaffirmative and tribalistic about cringe culture in general, though. It's not just "oh, look how weird this person this" or "what a fucking nazi idiot", through mockery of this idiotic, strange person we are able to assure ourselves that we're indeed part of the "in" crowd, that we are good people and not one of the bad dudes, so to speak.
You can see this more clearly in neo-4chan/tumblr cringe culture, where mockery only serves the purpose of allowing them to assure themselves: yes, indeed i am not a sad idiot sitting in front of a screen laughing at this autist nazi, i am a good person who am in no way making up for my shortcomings by laughing at the easy target.

Ethan Carter
That's a good point. Wonder if that's why people become so mind blind and cringe at things that are blatantly obvious jokes, since the purpose of the cringe isn't to look for the violation of social norms so much as to reaffirm that you're part of the ingroup.
Although now i'm torn. on the one hand you can escape being one of those who cringe to feel part of an in-group by advocating a purposefully cruel mockery in the hopes that you'll either extract amusing content from the victim or make people stop their stupid behaviour. on the other, while that's very nice and agreeable in abstract in the specific we have the problem that much of the insufferable groups who deserve that (i.e. alt right) are too pathetic to actually want to act in that way towards. it's like wanting to shut up barking "at any cost versus" actually going out and strangling a dog. (the problem arises because we can still encourage other people to do it, and then we've got disavowed responsibility…)

to what degree we draw this policy outwards - as theoretically it extends so far as a friendship grouping of greater than two members - i leave to the reader to decide for themselves.

I really don't think it would be rational for me to seek to get a gf when all this is the case. I'd rather get a dog. Dogs are cute and fun and they don't talk about boring things.

People are funny in that they think if the other person doesn't approach them that means they don't want to talk so therefor you shouldn't approach them.

I imagine women have it hard having to wait to be approached and thinking the guy they like isn't into them because they don't initiate it. Don't wait for other people to give you what you want, if you want to talk to someone then talk to them.
I don't know how well you know this girl, but you probably don't need to give her a heart to heart. Just ask her out.

Joseph Flores
a thought i don't know if i believe or not: we can't have ghosts anymore, because we don't have human beings anymore. as the social fabric has been torn apart, we now lack the spaces within it to place ghosts. ghosts stand at a mixture of history, and social interaction with the strange, distant and foreign which is no longer possible to conceive of in the modern world.
a scenario: you are driving through the countryside at night past a small village. a girl, white from head to toe in both clothing and skin runs out in front of your car and stops you. she says she has to get away from this place. fair enough, you might think. even in our atomised world, to let a stranger sit in the car is no great burden, and we've already stopped the car (we can of course conceive that our suspicions would have been aroused and we'd drive straight around her without even inquiring as to what she was doing, but that would cut short the example too young.) so we set off.
perhaps we try to make conversation. likely, there is no response, or mumbling, confused answers. perhaps we do think to ourself what situation this girl was in - abused perhaps, or kidnapped, or perhaps just a village person wanting to escape that mundane life. eventually, the drive falls to silence and our focus turns towards the road. we drive, and drive, and drive.
eventually, it occurs to us to check on the girl again - at which point it transpires that she has vanished. she simply is not in the car anymore. A most peculiar situation indeed. Here is where I say this story now stops working in the modern world: We can envision a person, even of our parent's generation, becoming quite concerned at this series of events and stopping the car immediately, looking around the vehicle, and then turning around and heading back towards the village to find some solution to this very peculiar situation and ensure the health of the girl. For a contemporary individual, we can at best imagine a cursory check of the vehicle itself while continuing onwards to the destination of the drive.
The conclusion of the mystery is of course that the girl is a ghost. Upon re-entering the general area of the village, she will re-appear in the car, or perhaps run out into the road again as though you'd never met. (You never know with Ghosts.) Unaware she is dead, perhaps still with lingering fear of that which killed her in the first place - which still lurks in the village area.
Jace Russell
No don't do this. Just walk up and say "hey, what's up?" and go from there. This will make you seem more like a friendly person and less like a person with ulterior motives.
Judging from the way that user described his situation, I really would not do this. Not yet, at least.
Most women need a guy to be pre-established in their mind as hot, charming, and non-creepy in order for this to work on them. The key here is the word "established". It isn't just going to happen, you need to actively make an effort to come across this way. This means interacting with her using good social skills while not making it seem like you want something from her (sex or otherwise). To do this, just try and befriend her the best you can and make sure that in your mind sex/relationship is a "bonus" instead of the goal itself.
Once she sees you this way, it should be pretty obvious and then you can make moves without them seeming annoying or threatening to her (which is what women usually think when guys hit on them).

The sale of living activity brings about another reversal. Through sale, the labor of an individual becomes the “property” of another, it is appropriated by another, it comes under the control of another. In other words, a person’s activity becomes the activity of another, the activity of its owner; it becomes alien to the person who performs it. Thus one’s life, the accomplishments of an individual in the world, the difference which his life makes in the life of humanity, are not only transformed into labor, a painful condition for survival; they are transformed into alien activity, activity performed by the buyer of that labor. In capitalist society, the architects, the engineers, the laborers, are not builders; the man who buys their labor is the builder; their projects, calculations and motions are alien to them; their living activity, their accomplishments, are his.

The individual who has been marked by impoverished spectacular thought more deeply than by any other aspect of his experience puts himself at the service of the established order right from the start, even though subjectively he may have had quite the opposite intention. He will essentially follow the language of the spectacle, for it is the only one he is familiar with; the one in which he learned to speak. No doubt he would like to show himself as an enemy of its rhetoric; but he will use its syntax. This is one of the most important aspects of the success obtained by spectacular domination.
Lincoln Edwards
I didn't copy the post from elsewhere if that's what you're wondering. As far as I know the actual story being told isn't paraphrased either, although it seems simple enough that a Hammer House of Horror episode (or similar) may operate along those lines.
If it's literally a hammer horror episode then I plagiarized it subconsciously. Technically it's not really plagiarism since hammer horror is officially "history" rather than "fiction", the real reason Thatcher won 3 elections is that she was the most powerful witch in the land and kept all the other supernatural events under control. That's the real reason "taking Britain back to the 1970s" remains such an epithet - when mere humans ran the country the supernatural became completely uncontrollable and we wound up with even our own high-technology turned against us (See: The Stone Tape.) while a temporal vortex permanently prevents us from understanding the specific methods of control employed prior to 1964. (It thus remains ambiguous whether greater religiosity pleased god and lent us his protection, or whether we were largely run by supernatural beings prior to Wilson as well…)
What follows is a bestiary of British prime ministers following the 1960s. (Detailed records are unavailable before this date and speculation may anger the faeries.)
Wilson, Harold: Human, Intellectual Heath, Edward: Human (apparently.), Sailor, Grocer. Callaghan, James: Human, Grandfather. Thatcher, Margaret HILDA. (Witch) Major, John. (Particularly inoffensive ghost.) Blair, Anthony Charles Lynton: Vampire Brown, Gordon: Zombie Cameron, David: Independent mirror image. (Blair variety - a fascinating specimen. Appears less evil but more incompetent than his counterpart. Also a surprising example of a vampire causing a reflection - since no visible reflection generally results. All the more fascinating given he totally disappeared once his political career was ended.) May, Theresa: Possessed Robot.
Children (I'm not sure if I'm disappointed it's not literally a group of children.)

I like Atlee I nearly noted in the post he was considered to have "ghost like tendencies", and was most likely a kindly ghost, but felt the implications would still be too negative. but he sort of falls before the historical period that really interests me. Technologically and so on the late 1940s and early 1950s are too apparently in the past, while the 1960s and 1970s have a lot more of the plausible "lost future" to them and a lot more in common with the present.
There's also the problem that Atlee is hotly contested since everyone in Labour wants to say nice things about him, regardless of party wing, which makes things harder to pin down.

This is a special kind of liberal that has zero revolutionary potential and will only further the cause to keep capitalism functioning and ensure the oppression of all peoples that are not petite bourgeois white women.

Legit question is there stuff from Porky you can like…there's a lot of stuff I'm still fond of (more-so it being stuff like vidya) but I know I want to dislike the porky that produced it.

Of course, this stuff isn't produced by only Porky you know, it's just sold by him for a profit basically.

thanksgiving is a fake american holiday anyway though i really want to have dinner with a skeleton that'd be fucking awesome.
also there's something that irritates me about this in the sense that these are essentially infinitely substitutable. it's like they're not even defending "capitalism" the economic system, but "capitalism" the brand, theoretically you could swap capitalism and socialism there and the core message wouldn't really be that different, or capitalism and fascism, or capitalism and feudalism and so on. it has a very pathetic, consumerist element to it.
that ancap world looks like some kind of illuminati nightmare i pick ancom world, i bet they have great punk rock bands.
while it's mildly hypocritical i would maintain that the internet age essentially distilled away some essential quality of capitalist media that did once exist. this isn't necessarily to say things got worse, but there's a sort of tangible quality that departs from products as you go through the 2000s.
some of this is materially easy to explain (the collapse of mid-size game developers and the rapidly increasing production costs of meeting expectations on new hardware.) others less so (i.e. in terms of TV or movies.) but it would seem to be a semi-quantifiable trend. (if one that happens to align with my personal tastes, if not so much my ideological ones where the 80s to 2000s should be a media deathscape.)
though in terms of the 2000s, a lot of media has a sort of tangible smarminess (less so videogames, but certainly TV and movies) that adds a sort of enjoyable dating to it, but would undoubtedly have felt like the final death of humanity itself if viewed in a contemporaneous sense. (iirc mark fisher had a line about the 2000s being an undoubted cultural nadir. one wonders whether he would assess the 2010s as an improvement, or a decline.)
yeah really it's this.
Easton Wright
Could do worse I suppose.
I get that fam, I just don't think I'm currently in a position to trust.
Just because a commodity was produced for the purpose of realizing surplus value by appropriating it from the workers don't mean it's a bad commodity. If you find use in it, good for you. And don't be spooked by notions of authenticity of uniqueness - if it floats your boat, that's well enough.

linguistic thought on property: while many people fall into the category of renters - those who live in "someone else's" home for rent, linguistically we don't see this reflected in our own conception of the property. you don't "go to see bob in porky's flat.", you "go to bob's flat" even though the owner of the flat is porky.
extruding from this with a hand-flailing motion we can see that linguistically we reflected ownership by merit of usage, not by legal right. absentee ownership is unnatural rent seeking.
It's just possible this signals the much anticipated death of geek chic.

Oh my sweet and innocent user…
I don't think it's a matter of "humans not existing anymore" so much as science having banished away everything non-human. There's nothing unknown anymore at the human scale, no monsters hiding in darkness, no forbidden lore that can shape reality, no message hidden in dreams. Even physically, there is nowhere to discover; the entire globe is mapped and even the deepest point in the oceans was reached by people. There isnt a frontier anymore, or a threshold, or a here-be-dragons. There's nothing left for the common person to discover or ponder. Only scientists get to know the feeling of not-knowing, and even then it's just labor. There's no wonder in it. Our world is just all this boring matter. What we see is what we get.
That's a very unlikely convergence. It's the kinda thing magickfags like.

Does anyone remember the time Zizek talked about vibrators and plastic vaginas and then having normal sex after a cup of coffee? I just watched this and it resonated in me how he meant foreplay.
He never said anything about violence in either of the videos you linked. As far as I'm concerned he's doing God's work by attempting to make it more difficult for idiotic professors, who haven't had a job in the private sector since they enrolled in college in the 1960's, to indoctrinate young impressionable minds with their poisonous ideology.

i'm trying to right now but its not exactly working
That is indeed a major factor and probably the socially dominant one. Arguably my case could be put (revealing a probable ignorance of the non-british post-1980s horror genre) as that "we don't have [socially plausible] ghost stories anymore". (Of course, such a line of thinking is natural for the future doomed protagonist of such a story…)
Although the element of the ghosts in technology, or more, the interaction between ghosts and technology is one of the fascinating things with hauntology and the films surrounding that (i.e. most notably Nigel Kneale's 'The Stone Tape') and perhaps (reaching to breaking point) we can consider an interesting alignment with this curbing of frontiers with the collapse of our dreams of the future during the 1970s-80s. (As we began to curb our expectations, in particular in terms of consciousness capturing scientific feats like a manned landing on Mars.) With that reduction in frontiers (of a completely different type) you drive a process of banalisation.
Strictly it's not the lazy I'm objecting to, but the smart. (I'll spare a dissertation on the world lazy.)
The degree of entropy makes coming up with good ideas easy, since you cycle through a greater number of ideas. That's not necessarily smart, since the smart thing is then being able to push onwards with some depth. (I mean, a dictionary and a random number generator gives you a pretty good - but stupid - entropic idea creation device.) It also makes narrowing a specific idea down difficult, since instead of focusing on thrashing out that specific idea, you're immediately inclined to explore another avenue. Sometimes these tangents cluster in a common enough space that you can give a very close emulation of an in-depth working approach, but in other circumstances the links are nonexistent.
The problem of energy is a temporally different one. (To partially paraphrase Lenin: There are weeks where nothing happens; and there are days where weeks happen.) While the entropy problem appears on a much more temporal level. It's "I want to type a long post but in a way that will require more organisation than just stream of consciousness and leaving it to the reader to take away what if any ideas lie within." rather than, for example, "I simply lack any new ideas today."

Yeah the old traditional ghosts relating to an afterlife are being busted, but I think you're right when you say the trope is assuming new forms, in our case, technology. The old "dead person comes back as a specter because he had an unsettled score" is now "serial clones lash away at the world for thinking they have no souls". House of Leaves is arguably the most ingenious reinvention of the haunted house cliche, by creating a new here-be-dragons inside a house. Ghosts and afterlife are no more, so they get replaced by archetypes and math. The closest thing we have to a frontier now is unproven scientific theories.
About curbing expectations, I mentioned before in an older thread how I recalled a quote to the tune of "the failure of socialism was first and foremost a failure of imagination", and I can't help but agree with that (some cuck in the thread got mad because he thought I was spousing idealism). As capitalism exhorts us to consume as much as possible, we create (out of work) less and less, including art. Not just our imagination is being curbed, but our ability (and time) to realize it too. Ever notice that normie communities are absolutely full of pop culture references and little in the way of new ideas?
So basically, the issue is filtering the noise out of the signal, is that it? Because that's kind of the base problem with the Spectacle now. Cultural production has grown exponentially since Debord's time, and as a cynic, I'm tempted to say that the noise has grown much more than the signal. We have the almost entirety of human knowledge at our fingertips, yet we don't know what the useful knowledge "looks" like, because evidently, to know what a piece of knowledge "looks" like is the same as already having that knowledge. So it seems the only way to separate the signal from the noise is to go absorb it all and sort it out ourselves, meaning we have to expose ourselves to a shitload of noise if we want to find some signal.
So we calling this entropyposting?
This looks like something from the ironic ancapball kikebook page.

It wasn't until a drunk girl I go to Uni with cornered me and said, "you think just because you're hot you can ignore us?". I thought she was mocking me, but eventually I asked a really close friend who kind of knows I'm socially anxious, and he basically said loads of girls have been asking after me, and he had just assumed I was a deep in the closet gay or something, so told them I wasn't interested.
I thought my face looked like a monkey's, unironically.

There's nothing righteous about socialism or the revolution, they are things that simply need to happen for humans to continue to live on this earth, you pretend to be humble, but you're drowning in your own ideology, by calling activists "self-righteous" you're advocating for complacency to the current status-quo, which if you're not a morn, you can see is untennable and undesirable.

Leo King
Look there's no need to be so defensive. It's a fact that the animation style and the themes used with that style have been used in conjunction with very racist shit, that's just history and you can't change that. A few people decided to talk about that fact for the sake of being critcal about culture they consume, a few others hoped to see the devs talk about the ugly side of the origins of their inspirations more. Then, sensitive Gamers like you created a strawman of spooky scary SJW's coming to take your video games and make them easy so the journalists could play too or some bullshit. Just calm the fuck down, not a single person is attacking Cuphead /as a game/, just calmly talking about it's roots in culture. That's it.

Nope, you are still giving Holla Forums views and money. And they are right, by not giving Youtube views, they are directly damaging Youtube and the ones who monetize via Youtube. While you somehow refuse to acknowledge this very fact.
Because when Holla Forums gets more popular, the mods and the owner of the chan will further depend on them to widen his pockets, thus improving the server and protecting them even more. Giving Holla Forums view strengthening Holla Forums.
Brayden Kelly

You realise that if you admit it's related that doesn't take away in any sense from the game at all right? No one is being accused of shit here, no demands are being made, it's all just a discussion and you're getting mad about it for no reason. It's pathetic.
Kayden Robinson
And computers, LCD screens and fiber-optic technology are related to racism because they are used to spread Ben Garrison cartoons. You're just playing the Wiki Game. What's the fucking point?
I'm getting mad because you're fueling the alt-right with idpol bullshit like this.
Jonathan Turner
Ah yes because technology and culture are the exact same thing.
And jesus are you really pushing the 'SJW's creates the alt-right' bullshit now?? I'd say stop watching Sargon again but perhaps you should just fuck right off back to Holla Forums you fucking idiot.
Jason Moore
After you fuck off to reddit.
Literature is a racist medium because it's been used extensively to promote racism. See how that works?
You ARE discrediting the left by being a fucking idiot.

Jacob Murphy
"Everything is racist" is shit criticism and you should shut the fuck up. Cool meme my dude. You sure haven't "reddit spaced" your last couple of posts.
Aaron Nelson
It's not a matter of "everything is racist" it's a systematic analysis and dialog on race as it pertains to video games, in particular, Cuphead. Why are you trying to shut this down? You're being very emotional.

Obviously important enough for Shaun to make a 30 minute video about it. Obviously important enough to further ruin the appeal of leftist sentiment.
Eli Perez
We are all in a giant feedback loop that's amplifying our neuroses and finding reflections of them everywhere to the point of reaching a systemic collapse of subjectivity. You start believing in stuff because the machine conditions you to think it somehow triggers the outgroup. Actual cultural critique is nearly impossible in this meta cultural media ecosystem. It's all about neurotic recriminations and recriminations of recriminations. Content is massproduced in order to provoke reactions. People have figured out what sells.
Anthony Turner
So what do you propose?
Bentley Thomas
to whom and where?
Brayden Peterson
Two things.
Shaun mads the video because skeptics were already mad, he was addressing that primarily. While he was there, he did add neuance to the rascist origins of the animation style.
If you genuinally believe the left is being ruined by this of all things, you're not a leftist. Either pick up a book, or go away.
Caleb Brooks
I think we are doomed tbh. I've pretty much accepted I've become an unperson, numb and vaguely disgusted with everything, subjected to Pavlovian shocks over and over again, slowly depersonalizing, the actual content or politics isn't as important as the structures. It is like those Elsa gate kid's videos though far more social and sophisticated in nature.We all participate in the feedback loop, willingly or unwillingly.
Jackson Bailey
I don't think they know everything that sells. I think some of what sells, they have to stop, because it wouldn't have profitable benefit.
I could find that a lack of individuality actually can be popular among people.
Landon White
To everyone who will think it's more important to loudly associate a dice headed character with black stereotypes than to not appear as the paranoid anti-racist virtue signalers a large chunk of the population currently think the left is.
You do realize that even if Shaun personally don't think this game is racist, this is most definitely what everyone who isn't in on this needless, stupid, "look-for-racist-parallells-for-funsies" shit will think?
Ryder Gomez
This makes no sense as a reply
Brandon Cox
Also, fuck off with your "rascist origins" bullshit. It's the fucking cartoon style that was popular at the time. A time that just so happened to be racist.

Where did that poster imply "racist origins"? You're getting spooked over something that isn't happening.

I'm fascinated by 1930s cartoons. Adorno hated them, but Walter Benjamin saw them as surrealist utopian glimpses into the social unconscious. This post apocalyptic piece from 1939 harks back to WWI while lookiing forwards to the coming catastrophe. It's oddly heartwarming. Grandpa squirrel is an Irish American WWI vet. vimeo.com/194223614
Disney's music land from 1935 really gives me Benjamin/ JJ Grandville flashbacks. The reconciliation of jazz and classical may be some sort of premonition of racial integration.
It's rather ghostly. Lately, I've been getting the same feeling from the simpsons. A doorway into the unconscious world of a past that's irrevocably past. All the old Hollywood references, a world that combines the Clinton 90s with the midday of postwar suburbia, the counterculture, old timey America and a vague promise of a future that never arrived. Homer Simpson lost his job during the late80s-mid90s restructuring, died in the early aughts from diabetes related complications. Bart is addicted to painkillers and Lisa spends her days rambling about Trumps Russian ties on twitter.
Parker Morgan
There is no racist origin of a cartoon style. Society used to be more racist back in the day, so some cartoons has racist stereotypes. The same way I could say that cinema has racist origins because it used to show racist movies.
Shaun deliberately decided to sit down and to make a 30 minute (!) video about how problematic that is. No, the developers don't need to talk about racism when making a videogame in cartoon style. Period.
Hudson Anderson
that wasn't even the main focus of the video. He just spends a few minutes talking about it at the end.

I'm getting fucked from a combination of student loans, medical debt, other misc expenses because I got fired a month and a half ago and I can't find a job that pays anything close. Might have to declare bankruptcy and move back in with the rents
My god, I never thought this would happen. Thought it only happened to irresponsible people who waste their money on Gucci.
No, you're obviously wrong, an he's right to be mad. The reason is this: often times, when libshit journos who have to shit out so many words per day to make the rent can't really think of anything pertinent to say about a topic, they'll in stead just find some tenuous connection with whatever outrage du jour is trending among their fellow cognoscenti, and fluff up their piece with that. It's gratuitous, and to the extent that it forces some kind of conversation, disingenuous. And from what I gather, so it was with this inane video game. "This game has a retro visual style but did you know that when this style was in vogue people actually made racist cartoons in this very style, click here to find out more!" It's in fact a trend among video game reporting for those reporters who don't like gaming that much: just talk idpol garbage, left or right depending on the site, and that way you easily fill the lines and get the clicks. Now of course as far as things to get outraged about go, this is very low on the list, but you'd still have to be a total rube to actually defend the journos in question.

Right. So, let's talk about aspect of Cuphead linked, intentionally or not, to themes that could be interpreted as anachronistic, to put it diplomatically. For instance, take the Level so aptly titled "Let's Do The Negrocaust". I think that part should have been different, the ending -caust wasn't yet part of public vocabulary in the 30s. You probably haven't seen that one yet because you are bad at video games. Fuck off to Kotaku.

Love creating busywork for other imageboard posters when I dislike them. (i.e. trying to leverage 10 word replies into multiple-post replies.) Not very good at it though, since I tend to fall into a situation where I end up trading equal numbers of words with the person I disagree with. (The assumption that their time outvalues mine probably doesn't actually hold.)
Not doing that here, of course.
While I agree with much of the chat about ghosts, I'm off the ball at the moment and can't think of anything much to add. (In the midst of watching 'The Stone Tape' again. Good film. Up on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=vtvJWKaDI9s )
Essentially, although I feel like distilling has a feeling more akin to the process. (I suppose it feels 'analogue' compared to the 'digital' impression given by a filter.) Inclined to agree. Although now I'm wondering if there's a mathematical model you could produce where the two increase in the same proportion (i.e. media is always a 90/10 good/bad split) but nonetheless, your probability of encountering something good is skewed to say 99/1 despite that being well below what you'd expect. (I suppose you don't really need maths, if you just envision it in a certain way - such as having 100 squares, but only the top squares are any good, while humans can only travel across the board diagonally.)
I feel like there exists a possibility that the internet will eventually get "clogged with entropy" as our ability to create content outpaces (and in some ways, destroys) our ability to sort and consume it. (There's an interesting thing here - consider two games, both desirable, but you have no way of knowing which is more desirable - there exists a reasonable possibility that you'll then waste time trying to figure out how not to waste time by playing the best one. This multiplies hugely - even if only taking media that we know will be good, we feel the need to order and rank when any of them would be a satisfying solution.)

I felt sick while watching this movie about a bunch of parasitic lifeforms. This movie glorifies exploiting others for your own good while never questioning the actions of the characters or showing the consequences others face. >>>/gulag/ >>>/gulag/ >>>/gulag/

Also, I've never watched it but the concept amuses me greatly and it might bump my lefty cred: Can Dialectics Break Bricks? (1973) youtube.com/watch?v=mjUNY0433Do (A situationist film.)
works for Sidney Lumet as well. on the basis of a comparatively narrow sample.
Tyler Sanders
It hardly portrays it as a positive thing though. If anything, the appropriate reaction is indeed to be horrified by what the main character does, because the entire point is to show how capitalism enables the shittiest aspects of humanity and allows them to get off scott free if they have enough money. In a sense, I think it's a great leftist film.
Ryan Morales
Scorsese doesn't glorify shit. He tells how things are, the movie is 3 hours long and exagerated because it's a movie about excess of capitalism. It show excess and doesn't judge it. The fact that people like this movie because of excess and like jordan for his actions shows how OUR CULTURE glorify this type of shit, proving the last shot, a mirror of the public of the movie, accurate. if You felt sick it just means that you watched the movie in the right way.

Nathaniel Baker
This. I've watched Wolf of Wall Street few times, and I don't understand how anyone could possibly see this movie as glorifying capitalism. Like user said, the movie is 3 hours long, and the second part of this movie only serves to paint Jordan Belfort and his associates as a bunch of immoral burger jackasses. The character played by Jonah Hill and his attitude clearly serves to invoke nothing but utter contempt towards him. I'm also sure this was the intention of movie makers as well. I'm not saying this is an anti-capitalist movie, but it certainly isn't pro-capitalist either, since if it was, they would have filled much of this movie with cheesy messages about "muh bootstraps" and such.
Benjamin Edwards

the movie is comedic and "fun" (ignoring the wife sub-plot) which seems to distract some people from the actual human consequences of the movie. If it was more similar in tone to a movie like Boiler Room for example. (or what I imagine the tone of Boiler Room to be because I barely remember it) I doubt there would be as many people who consider it a endorsement.

Are there even people on this board who are not Holla Forums converts or never had a right wing phase? Seriously curious. I've never had a right wimg phase in my life and I've always been anti-capitalism (sort of) since I was a child. I've toyed with right wing aesthetics and I still do tbh. Used to own so many nazi uniforms ecc. That I could have putted a neo nazi to shame. Never agreed with them on anything tho and the period where I wasted my money on this shit it was when I genuinely went crazy and thought I was bowie. I used to dress like the thin white duke and drinked only drinked milk with vodka for a month. I'm not even that much in love with soviet aesthetics and I'm an M-L.

Yea I was never right wing. Most of my life, as far back as I started thinking about politics, I was anticapitalist, very much so distrusted corporations and have been environmentally conscious since I can remember. Never was a Holla Forumsyp, although I have been a pol many years ago. It was different back then.

Before I read up on leftist theory I had an alt lite phase out of sheer alienation at our politically correct society, despite being nonwhite (insert le 56% meme here).

But that's wrong though. Her plan is the only reason they were able to mount an effective resistance against Ragyo. Sure it didn't fully stop her but it did provide a springboard from which they could launch a counter attack. Without Satsuki they would not have won.

Should have said that Satsuki's plan on its own wasn't helping. without either of them they would not have won. Kill La Kill is actually about left unity now. Discuss.

yes on occasion nope
interest is primary in a historical period where social democracy was dominant and social democratic ideas are much easier to apply directly to day-to-day political matters and parties, while reading literature from a far-left tendency would mean conscious effort and add little of practical use to my knowledge.
porky wise i'm inclined to using the state to strangle financial sector porky so that industry porky does better. in exchange industry porky has to accept me nationalising half his shit and do what trade unions say. also the church porky will benefit immensely from our policy of massive tower-block council housing construction since it will make the performing of exorcisms much more economical.

There was a cool Irish Marxist hip-hop group called Marxman in the early 90s with a sort of lofi/experimental sound. I have no idea what happened to anyone in that group. sage for responding to oldish posts [spoiler]sage for repso
Caught a bad cold from my GF, so I'm staying home today. If anyone has got some recommendations for documentaries I could watch It'd be very much appreciated. Not necessarily about politics, but that along with history, in general, are my favorite subjects. Currently I'm a hundred pages into Victor Serge's memoirs, which is great, but I'm not sure how much longer I can keep focus on reading.
What happened is that you are new. He already was a meme in 2011 and before. He made a video with a "Marxist analysis" of Dragon Ball. Unruhe had a reputation for getting into all sorts of petty BS even back then. Some people on RevLeft made one or two mild jokes at his expense and he called them "Zionist Pedophiles" in a response video, because, or maybe I should say, "because" one guy made some documentary about pedos in therapy or some shit and the other one was some German who I guess felt awkward about shitting on Israel as is the norm with the left in other countries. I don't recall whether those two ever even participated in joking about him before that video. (He also showed a screenshot of a user with a Justin Bieber avi talking shit about him, which happened in the members-only section of the forum. I wonder who the snitch was.)
I'm pretty sure he knows much more today than back then. Last year, Unruhe published a book about Marxist economics. Maybe it's good, I don't know as I haven't read it. (And I don't think most Twitter Marxists who get into slap fights with him would be able to judge it.)

Okay, please tell me if I have a point here.
The "debate" on Cuphead's supposed racism that started here was suspiciously… alien. We're not exactly an assembly of philosopher-kings, but discussions tend to be, if not civilized, then at least terse or facetious. But this one reminded me of the crap I did when I was 15 on the internet, more cusswords than arguments. But the big problem is, people seemed genuinely angry and rancorous about it, and that's rather unlike us. I can't help but think one or more polyps and/or SJWs are trying to shit the board up by simply making debate poisonous. I mean, the unironically angry and rancorous tone is common to both.

1. this shit about zizek is nothing new, he's been triggering faggots for years 2. why the fuck would you 'look up' to zizek
Levi Mitchell
Talk to us, fagrade. What about it bothers you? Is it Zizek's behavior itself? Is it other putative leftists attacking him? Something else? I assure you, we all go through some disillusionment sometimes.
Sure teaching can be a tough profession, but using such harsh words to describe students who are naive and just want to learn what is right and what is wrong is so fucking disheartening.
Is "triggering libs" really all there is to left-wing philosophy these days? Weak af, I say.

Then he should start writing fiction about vampires or some shit.

I would never imagine Chomsky or Wolff coming up with similar kind of statements, you have to be a special kind of self-righteous retard to spout it.
Camden Gutierrez
He just doesn't care, not everyone is made out of empathy. Are you really going to compare him to Chomsky or Wolff? They're all distinct people, with distinct attitudes. Zizek doesn't need to be some perfect "Oh I really care about your opinions and intellectual development." He just wants to write, and let people come to their own fruition through his works.

The question isn't whether someone is a dick or not, the question is whether they have the personality to pull off their dickishness. (By making it funny or charming.)
I mean, it's basically true. Especially if he didn't say anything in a directly personal sense. (i.e. "You, John Smith, write really shitty papers and I will fail you if you hand something in and make me read it." v.s. "You're all stupid students, it's okay, all students are stupid, don't give me more work and you get an A") Howling at this.
The people who depend on him for grades got the best result possible in terms of effort-reward ratio. The world needs people who don't give a fuck in addition to people who are genuinely caring.

This is a garbage list, it's like learning to count (and not very well if we're going by what that user said) and then jumping to astrophysics with a side dish of quantum, with all of your knowledge from a single book on each subject. Terrible way to start. Being and Time after just ONE guide? Nigger are you serious?
Almost each and every single work in that tree requires at least 10 books to prepare you for it. Here's the thing, some of these writers wrote for their current age and time, for the layman to grasp their ideas, and some wrote as a response to philosophical tradition. You should focus on a single thinker you like and simultaneously absorb from other sources bit by bit. I can help you out with Heidegger: youtube.com/watch?v=IaIWz_87Kz0
I know I sound like a pandering faggot and this could be overbearing, but you can either be a layman understanding with a so-so understanding, which is fine, but if you're actually interested go all the way in. Frankly, you should branch out into spheres that interest you between the "to-read" list, but these books should either be rather elementary in their approach to things or guides and historical analyses of philosophical systems.
Not the original guy who answered you. How far are you in?

I should add that you could also just read and read the works of one specific thinker and ultimately get a decent grasp on his ideas even without prior experience in philosophy bar a basic guide/introduction for him.

Thanks for the reply, comrade. It's really hard to know where to start with this kind of thing. Like I said, I'm halfway thru the Elementary Principles of Philosophy at the chapter about metaphysics, dunno if I should actually quit reading it as that user didn't specify the exact faults in it. I hope you realized I ment the book, not the list, when I said I was "halfway through"
Maybe I should just google my way thru thinkers that sound interesting or something, but that gets tiring.

You don't have to accept everything zizek does or espouses to like his good ideas. I'm positive 90% of us on this board have a facet of our lives that would be distasteful or stupid to most other people here.
As long as he isn't calling for a volkisch state or raping babies just compartmentalize zizek's dumb ideas away from the rest of his work

Leo Jackson
I thought you meant the list. Anyway, I can't comment on that specific book since I haven't read it. I honestly think the best way to be introduced to philosophy is through three key principles: 1. Disavow all axioms 2. Realize the central problem in philosophy is language 3. Start with the lecture series I linked I think Heidegger is such a good starting point because he goes against 2400 years of philosophical tradition and preconceptions, so when you start reading/studying the others you're already on your guard and can analyze their propositions more critically. Plus he's the gatekeeper for 20th century philosophy - Foucault, Derrida, Marcuse, lots of others, were all disciples of Heidegger. who knew that it was a Nazi all along behind the thinkers of "cultural marxism"? I know people rag on Nietzsche but I think Heidegger is really the one who laid down the foreground for the 20th century.
I'm afraid this will only be fruitful in very particular cases.

We don't know why we have the wrong system of temperature measurement. We just do, and it's just the consequence of being the bumblefuck nation.
When I was in grade school, they really did try to teach the metric system but it seems like they all just gave up half way through, because kids already memorize how to measure something clearly, that anything that deviates that probably becomes hard to understand developmentally.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadragesimo_anno "…the Pope recognizes that the State has a right to expropriate private property." "A related issue, says Pius, is the relation between capital and labour and the determination of fair wages…The Church considers it a perversion of industrial society, to have developed sharp opposite camps based on income. He welcomes all attempts to alleviate these cross differences…Pope Pius concludes that solidarity not conflict is a necessary condition, given the mutual interdependence of the parties involved."
"…The pope demands more solidarity, especially between employers and employees through new forms of cooperation and communication. Pius draws a negative view of Capitalism, especially of the anonymous international finance markets… He warns that capital interests can become a danger for states, who would be reduced to be "chained slaves of individual interests"."
"…Franklin D. Roosevelt also had high praise for the encyclical and quoted it extensively on the evils of concentrated economic power."

Some of these are public entities that manage state pension funds. I know that CDPQ manages Quebec's provincial pension plans.

tbh state entities owning entities of other states makes me just as uncomfortable as having the private sector do it. (with some exception to weird inter-state co-operation, which isn't what's going on here.)
one has to wonder, if Quebec needs airports to fund pensions then what's wrong with Montreal Airport? (except that it's operated by a weird 100% private sector not-for-profit organisation. which i just googled because i knew it'd also have some weird management structure, i only found the heathrow thing because it was cross-linked from an article on George VI)

Filters can be analogic too, so these two analogies are synonimous, I'd say.
To follow that 90/10, my fear is that the 90% side is actually increasing. It's probably just my cynicism and shit, but it's not like I can prove nor disprove it.
That thing about the internet getting clogged reminds me of a sci-fi story which I wasted an entire fucking afternoon looking for but couldn't find. I think it was written by a Russian at the beginning of the last century, and described a very novel doomsday scenario: civilization collapsed because it couldn't properly organize the exponentially increasing information it generated. They built indexes that grew so big they required their own indexes, which in turn required their own indexes and so ad nauseam until it all came crashing down.
As for your game analogy, that's theoretically what game reviews and Steam tags should help with. But the fundamental problem is that a videogame is too complex and long an experience to be properly described in words. But it's all you have beside playing the game yourself. Me, i think we should meta it up a level, and review and tag "game reviewers" themselves. The point is to find reviewers whose tastes match yours or whose opinions you find insightful etc., and thus rely on that handful of reviewers who represent you, rather than the shallow reviews of random internet cucks or paltry Steam tags. One might ask if I'm not proposing exactly the indexes-of-indexes "solution" I just mentioned, but I think not because you won't need to go further up any more levels, because obviously the number of reviewers is orders of magnitude smaller than the number of games, so it's far easier to find one that match you, and once you do, you can rely on them for an indeterminate amount of time. If you looked at game by game, you'd have to get information on then all, before finding one and playing til completion, and then have to restart the process. Relying on good reviewers, you just come back to the same sources all the time.
I think I might be on to something here. Admittedly, fostering the idea of reviewing reviewers seems silly, but the idea is sound. However, if things escalate to the point someone starts reviewing reviewer reviewers, well, I wash my hands clean from the ensuing civilizational collapse.
Neither am I. The point is that if posting about it genuinely gets you mad in real life, you already lost. As demonstrated by how the thread was shat up. At the end of the day, the thread quality fell and no one gained anything. The angrier someone is, the less likely it is that they will accept changing their ideas. So I both ask and advise you, if you notice a debate you're engaged in is lowering in level, disengage. End your participation with a bon-mot and abandon the debate entirely. Everyone will be better off for it. This counts double in an anonymous community, since there's no social cache to be lost from this.

Man, don't even tell me. I know this isn't high art, but even in porn, I think that something a smut artist drew because that's what he wanted will inevitably be better than something he drew in order to pander or sell or otherwise make money out of. I was glad with getting free pics from FA, Tumblr etc., and sometimes you could even find pirated copies of the paid material, which was relatively very rare in the first place, tho now I see that the cause was simply the lack of a user-friendly pay-gate.
Regardless, such pay-gate arrived in the form of Patreon. At first I was optimistic, thinking that, since the vast majority of artists drew stuff they felt like drawing, the possibility of making a living from it would make them immensely increase their output of that art they felt like drawing. You can see the flaw in my thinking here; I didn't see the profit motive would drive them to shift their reason for making art, and thus its quality. They shifted from doing mostly their own porn to doing mostly someone else's porn. Instead of making stuff that suits their own sensibilities – which are a big part of why you like an artist in the first place – they largely prefer to do commissions, YCHs and other sparkledog magnets.
Notice I didn't even get to the point of paywalling, because allowing an artist to live off his art is fine by me lol YF, just the more subtle qualities of smut art being driven down by the market. So I don't think I'm being spoiled, but bringing up a genuine issue. Do I have a point here?
Huh, I never thought of it that way.
Comr8, I hate to kill your boner but porn is commodity fetishism in more ways than one. inb4 PC files aren't commodities

Putting too much steem on anyone you don't personally know is not a good idea. That screencap someone posted is sound advice, heroes are spooks. One should have no heroes, because heroism implies perfection, so finding out they're obvious flawed will inevitably break your heart. Always be critical of everyone, and the more you admire someone, the more you should look at them critically.
That said, Zizek just plain should not be taken seriously. Sure he throws out a great idea here and there, but that's because he just writes so damn much so he's bound to hit the target sometimes. He has been caught plagiarizing, and openly admitted several chapters of one of his books were pure drivel as if we didn't know. He's a fun guy, more entertainer than philosopher. Besides, even with all the buffoonery, he's right almost all the time anyway.
The thing is, he didn't set out to do it. The problem is liberals get triggered by everything. Altists are far more obsossed with doing it on purpose.
Similar ideologies must live in a constant state of attrition in order to emphasize their smll differences amidst the immense similarity.

I have no clue and you're probably right, although if you're a pension firm with the sole objective of protecting and growing the principal I can understand how you're going to want to spread that out as much as possible to avoid dumping everything into a single entity that winds up a massive failure (such as Montreal's second airport: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montréal–Mirabel_International_Airport)

I mean, it probably is. It's just interesting to imagine a scenario where the ratio remains the same but everyone drowns in the 90% anyway.
Started to imagine archives for imageboard archives, since those are usually unreliable and generate huge amounts of data. (Technically I think this exists, in the form of archival copies of archives put on archive.org.) One has to wonder if there will ever be a point where we just say "fuck it, this doesn't matter" - I know archival is a slightly different point to data retention itself, but it's one of direct relevance to individual behaviour. Since we now have the computer storage to save everything psychologically it's very difficult to avoid doing just that. Should I delete the installer file for an out of date version of a program? Well, yes but what if my internet connection isn't working and I need a quick reinstall? Better keep it… Oh look, I've filled my entire hard drive.
But this applies everywhere. We take huge numbers of photographs nowadays - why? To capture ephemeral moments that often simply don't matter. We need an increasing amount of storage to do so, and while we often farm it out to dataminers in """"""the cloud""""" [intermittent retching] that doesn't really resolve the problem that the weight of carrying all that data holds for us, and how it splits our future choices.
My examples are bad but that train of thought is departing. What I'm essentially wondering is whether there will come a point where we simply stop recording data because we accept that specific data has no use. Let's assume I record what I eat every day, and let's assume because I'm disorganised that takes just as long as eating - at what point do I realize that I'm never going to lock back on this data, and that the effort expended to record and store it is wasted, and would be wasted even if it was trivial? (There is perhaps the most dangerous little line of thought in there as well - "What if historians in the future care?")
I think someone said history is on the way out since we now have a perfect record of times, and a historians job is basically to take the random data points that survive and reconstruct from that. That's essentially the problem I'm getting at, from the other side. (And you might say "well isn't that good?" but I daresay no - we need to be able to escape our pasts, certain horrors simply need to be allowed to drift into silence so that we can move towards the future.)
To some degree, but they also enable to the problem. It doesn't work so well with Steam nowadays since it's been flooded with weird broken indie games, but in general the idea is that even if all games were good, we'd waste time trying to find the best and wind up playing no games. If instead of trying to deduce what was enjoyable, we simply played every game we saw (with a very elementary filter, such as playing SNES games by sales figures.) we'd probably have a more enjoyable time than if we only played once a year when we were certain we had a gem on our hands.
There is a reviewer of reviewers solution, but I think the problem there is that tastes operate oddly. You could probably rig up a tagging system, but it would seem clunky. There's also the problem that reviews are something to be consumed in themselves. I may not share Ashens' taste, but he has a nice voice and camera skills which makes a review by him more desirable than, say, a review by my own clone but locked in a box and made to play every game and review it.
With text reviews it might be an easier process than with video reviewers. That has it's own weird problem (where if you can read quickly, you can just buzz through reviews yourself.) but considering the degree to which everyone has moved to video reviews nowadays that doesn't seem like a tremendous problem.

It was borderline and I knew that people would give me shit for it, but I consider it unambiguously better than The Last Airbender and I doubt most people would give me shit for that simply because its less 'tumblr' or whatever. This is such a useless non-descriptive request that it makes me think you'd like watchmen… or maybe Emergence or Monster lol (worse than watchmen from what little I've read of them). I dunno, you'll probably like Take that Hand, as it has blatant and focused themes and a clear related aesthetic which are some of the only things Watchmen has going for it. Other than that, Sekihan and Dowman Sayman are pretty 'officially patrician', so if you're looking for something that's obviously going to be considered respectable regardless of how good it is, those would count (thankfully they are actually good too). Branching out of comics, Cross Channel is fucking amazing and would probably fit the bill. Shouldn't be hard to understand, but it is much more complex if that's what you want.

tbh would prefer artists not making anything at all to making paywalled internet art, and i'm not even in the demographic that consumes paywalled furry porn. it's an irritating issue of principle and quality. (not to mention a large dose of ideology.) had a longer post here but i'm too lazy to sort it out properly. tl;dr fuck anything more than donations. and actually even donations are probably awful since you can still game the system a bit by pandering. unlike the usual fields where that happens and the answer is "abolish capitalism" the internet feels like the kind of place where people might actually be browbeaten into fucking off and never posting anything again if we could all agree to go about it. (and thereby, not extracting money again) I'm intentionally making myself sound cruel here, although my lack of sympathy for people trying to turn a profit on the internet (and in the process fucking it up) is genuine. starve if you must, but don't break the system. not particularly materialist lol this is of course illusory. that's what the internet is, a box of miserable illusions.
would be interesting to spend an evening trying to pin down the "internet ideology" since it has an interesting mixture of (ideally) anti-capitalism, libertarianism, and individualism. particularly within the framework that caused the whole thing to collapse into a cesspool of shit.
tbh there probably isn't a competitive market, you'll just wind up with companies slowly adapting themselves to the various state contracting niches rather than competing directly (especially if market entry/exit are regulated.)
tbh pensions as a whole seem like a massive scam. maybe just because i don't believe in actually running numbers beyond heuristic checks, but increasing taxation and just paying everyone a stipend without any of the mess around specific individual pensions would seem a much preferable way of going about things. this view is particularly coloured by Adam Curtis' "The Mayfair Set" episode 3, which goes into how pension funds were bastards who asset-stripped a lot of companies in the past because their job is basically to get the best return for the pensioners.
foreign ownership is also an issue though. especially since - i mean - consider, does the Quebec pension fund have any actual interest in London's airport functioning? If it was more profitable to let some obscenely rich Saudi prince bulldoze the whole thing for fun, would they hesitate to do so?

Luis Robinson
Something, something, aestheticization of politics
Noah Edwards
they are totally triggering snowflake cucks kek XDD
Michael Reyes
so basically it comes from misunderstanding both punk and conservatism. Seems like something right wingers would do, yeah.
Jayden Russell
HORY SHIT!

The solution of course is more user friendly ways to pirate paid art. Since 2D porn artists usually don't have a big corporate machine with lawyers on retainer behind them, this should not be too hard I don't think.

Why you say this? SK is a victim of the US. Americans deserve the nuke, not koreans. Also NK won't touch SK. It's against the principle of juche
Is the failure of Net Neutrality actually driving up anti-cap sentiment?

Eat 10 to 12 times your weight in calories and do cardio and lifting.
Shit Korea is more classcucked than burgerland which puts it up there with poland in shit places. If it won't do anything to its next door turbo porky neighbhor, then juche is shit and should be discarded.
Hudson Davis
Are you insane?
Jaxon Brown
Fucking american.
Owen Walker
Absolutely not
Joshua Nguyen
I meant multiply your weight by 10 to 12 and put your caloric intake in that amount. So if you're 140 eat 1400 to 1680 calories a day.
Isaac Nguyen
Wasn't arisu being made in the first place because lain was going to shit thanks in no small part to Holla Forumsyps?

Unironically find a fucking job. Where do you guys even find the time for this bullshit?
Luke Rodriguez
SK is the most class cucked country on earth. I agree. I lived there. That said when antiamerican protest starts you actually see that there is revolutionary potential. Because the whole country is made of porkies you stupid fuck?
Oliver Myers
Guys I just don't want to gain any more weight yet these fucking holidays keep coming, I hate it.I don't want to be thicc
Evan Nelson
So then, skinwalker it is.
I understand it bro, I always had a collection instinct. I have have been carrying over crap since my first computer. I got junk from 2004, maybe earlier. Lots of cool Holla Forums-ish pics too, I should post them sometimes. I have a drive… a drive to archive.
An interesting question. My guess is, we'll keep this data over-recording until we reach some physical limitation for the storage of information in matter or somesuch, which is waaaaaaay into the future.
Dunno about you, but these old-ass files are like my stored comic books, cards and other such junk: they're mementos. Much like our actual memories, their total amount is far higher than the ones we'll actually recall at all. Perhaps the point of these mementos is to serve as hard references to certain memories, which can then be sent to "deep storage", as it were, and become near impossible to recall without coming into contact with its "totem". In fact, I wouldn't mind transfering more of my memories to physical totems to free up some space in the noggin.
A good point, but I'd say that this ever-increasing amount of recorded data isn't going to become some cut-and-paste affair. If anything, it risks destroying history, because of that signal-to-noise problem. In times past, it required wealth or power to be able to read and write, so with data being so scarce, it only makes sense that they would prioritize important events and people (or at least how the writer's bias wanted these events and people to be remembered, as saintly or monstrous), and everything else was lost to time. In that sense, historians were blessed, because the 90/10 rule was inverted for them. Now, with mobile apps that tweet the timestamp of each one of your farts, future historians will be utterly swamped with useless minutiae. Imagine all this cultural detritus we whine about, but accumulated through years, decades, centuries. It'll be maddeding to have to sift through so much crap, even assuming a single author can do it on his or her own. Odds are that the veracity of future hisriographies will be harmed by the filter issue, and that's not even adding in the effect of historian bias. Virtually every possible outcome of an event is considered true by considerable numbers of people, so fabricating history will be easier than ever. Since, by definition, these rogue historians don't care about veracity, churning out propagandized "history" will be a simple matter of cut-and-paste, while proper historiography becoming an increasingly difficult affair, until one day it might reach the point of collapse: mankind produces more historical data than all academics together can study.
Unless an AI advanced enough to act as the cultural noise filter is created, in which case our entire conversation has been one of those trivial moments you mentioned.
Dunno, I think your math is off. If you find enough reviewers who reflect your tastes, them put together should find enough good games to keep you fully occupied. And to be honest, I would rather only play rare gems than everything I come accross.
Perhaps it's just a matter of crafting the right model. Tagging is the best one I know of, but I'm sure in a few years it'll look paleolithic.
About the reviews, you don't need to necessarily watch or read the whole things. Part of the point of finding a really trustworthy reviewer is that you could rely just on their yea or nay, or score, or short summary or whatever.
And yeah, text is much better, it just plain has a higher information transfer rate than videos. It really kills my vidya boner to see all those Youtube reviews lasting a fucking half hour, but could be read in 2 minutes if rendered in text.

Juan Gomez
Just a hunch. Your description of him sounded… familiar.
"Being Tumblr", even if a bad sign, is incidental to me. Personally, I can't get into it because of the author's notorious vidya satire comics. They were fucking incredible, and Cucumber Quest, despite being a completely different beast altogether, still feels like a massive step down. Like, knowing for a fact the author can do better, and could be doing better right now, leaves me unengaged. Like MJ's baseball career. The burden of peaking early on, I guess.
It's a meme, breh. I just asked for your personal recommendations.
Guilty as charged. I can't help but be impressed at the technical prowess of it, not so much the plot.
Regardless, don't mind my tastes. I'd like to hear what you think are good non-porn comics or manga or such.
I support an increase in output so long as said output remains pirateable, so in that matter, paywall isn't really an issue to me. The problem is the ensuing decrease in quality.
I wonder how feasible it would be to force companies to work for the government only. For one thing, I imagine they would quickly consolidate into megacorps. I can't even guess what would be the effect in regards to a blacm market.
Someone with an account there, in God's name, point out that Gulag Archipelago is literally fiction.
Well that's exactly what YF is. God bless Bui, he lived long enough to become the hero.
Despite the liberal media going apeshit after their Trump flop, I did notice a considerable increase in articles involving leftist themes, especially class war.

Hudson Johnson
Protesting burger military isn't inherently revolitionary, it can even be coopted by reactionaries to stir up support for local porky. Given how cucked the south koreans are, their "revolution" would be kicking out the burger porky to make more room for the korean porky. If there is a revolution anywhere porkies won't make up the majority of reactionary forces, classcucks will. That juche would let capitalism thrive next door instead of stamping it out when given an opprtunity shows how shit juche is.
Levi Phillips
No.
Noah Taylor
I don't know what that means exactly, but the only especially weird thing I can remember was the parallelism between Rorschach and Ozymandias by proxy of the comic within the comic, and I found that boring and mostly pointless. Honestly, the porn stuff are on par with the non-porn comics on a non-pornographic level (I like Gentle Pulse and Cross Channel more than anything else on the lists)… That being said 1. Her pet (from what I've read a while ago… There's a paywall though) 2. The Private Report on My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness (if you somehow haven't read that already 3. Sugar Wa Otoshigoro, Honeymoon Salad/Baby Leaves 4. Nickelodeon After that read what you can find of Ryan Armand or the non-pornagraphic works of Benjamin (KUROMASA Shisei to avoid confusion)

Just eat at a major caloric deficit. Don't starve yourself too much that you get sick, but you're guaranteed to not gain weight as long as you keep it to 1200 calories or less for a little while. Remember that you're always going to burn about 500 calories in your fucking sleep, so that's 500 free calories and work from there depending on how active you are.
Anthony Hall
if you want to minimise the amount of time you spend socialising, go out and socialise. while sitting there, you'll remember why you don't bother and the experience should prevent a future transgression at a more regrettable date.
That's an element of it, but those seem justifiable to keep. I really do mean things as arbitrary as old installer .exe files (not even old enough to be collectable, just say a GIMP version from a year ago.)
This makes me wonder about a tangent to the problem of escaping history: Whether a terrible signal to noise ratio may actually achieve the aim of letting us escape our pasts simply because nobody ever bothers to check the archives. At the moment, particularly if you're relatively well known (like moderate Youtuber tier) we can expect that you have a problem of essentially one data source (say me, or even just my twitter) and multiple data crawlers (i.e. imageboard users angry i said gamergate was stupid) meaning security through obscurity doesn't really apply. But if we increase the amount of data exponentially over time, perhaps we'll hit that - or perhaps even if everything about me gets out, it'll be forgotten shortly afterwards simply because the amount of new things to get angry at has increased.
I almost feel like we've crossed that threshold already if you include weird junk data in it. (Like those websites that print wikipedia articles as books, but throw in random errors because their file-ripper isn't perfect and so on.) Shame. Want my (Anonymous & SocDem, 2017) footnote a hundred years from now.
As a conscious decision perhaps - but if we consider in a vulgar economic sense, i.e. measuring utility, it would seem like you could get better results with 3 meh-okay and 1 gem than just 1 gem.
This is perhaps one of the worrying things. With personal data being stored and so on, theoretically we could have a system where you don't (knowingly) input very much at all. You open YouTube and the computer has already pattern-matched from people like you to figure out what reviewers you'll like. I think an Adam Curtis documentary had a quote along the lines of "Our aim with Amazon is that ideally when you open up the front page the site only shows you one book - and it's the next book you're going to buy." with those rather creepy overtones.
But independent of that, there's sort of a problem of being stuck in a loop. (Bob likes truck simulators, let's dig up every truck simulator we can find. He would also enjoy romantic text adventures, but we have no individual data on that and the correlation doesn't show in aggregate. We don't show him any of those, because although this stab in the dark would be successful there's no evidence-base for it.)
Piracy induces all of it's own little problems. I mean for example, sure, you can pirate a good chunk of furry porn on yiff.party (FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES.) actually i only know that exists because of the brief, amusing period where they published people's dox when they submitted DMCAs. then they chickened out rather than going on a petit-bourg genocide in the legal minefield. there are always problems of things not updating properly, people pulling links, etc. Accessibility is only ensured in a very temporary fashion. Much easier to slash output and ensure steady availability. (Especially if we assume such output is mostly dreck.)
Ad-hoc hypothesis: The reason that furry is a porn fandom is that nobody is going to hand over cash for a sfw image of a dog, while horny idiots are easy to separate from their cash. This leads to a vicious spiral of art going where the money is and money (people, but really just animatronic wallets.) going where the art is. (I want to add more contempt to this paragraph but the tanks are empty.)
I guess BAe might straddle the line, since it's basically just kept around because of Britain's tradition of building her own warships. It does a lot of international work too, but much of that is still tied to government contracts in the long run.
Aaron Adams
it is probably good to purge the ranks of predators tbh. predators can probably harm local activity and it makes the movement look good when it at least somewhat cares about its members
but I think there could be, like, a sort of standard way to out them. like some sort of a list of things (what allegedly happened, evidence, why this person matters) to put in a single post somewhere and then share that post it is annoying how outing em perverts often takes the form of "slow-building drama" rather than "standard procedure". if it was a more standard/simple thing, it'd be easier for onlookers to pass judgment, do what needs to be done and shit

Xavier Watson
One time I was visiting my friend at their college. My friend's roommate was away for the weekend so I had a spare bed to crash in. I drank so much at a party (straight out of a handle of gin with no chaser) that I completely blacked out. Now I don't personally remember the events of the night but from what I'm told my buddy tucked me into bed and had brought a girl back with him, but I started vomiting all over myself in my sleep. My friend literally had to get me out of bed, had to strip me out of my clothes, had to hose me down in the shower, and had to launder his roommate's bed sheets at 4am in the morning. I woke up the next morning with no clue what happened, but my friend didn't let me live it down for years. Anyway, I was drunk and didn't know my limits, I haven't drank that irresponsibly since, but I still do like to drink, just not gin since that night kind of permanently ruined it for me.

Nathan Davis
Dude. Your friend is a saint. Seriously, I need a drinking buddy like that. I don't drinking gin straight, only in cocktails (martini). I do drink everything else straight tho (we count beer as a chaser?). The only drink i permanently ruined is jagermaister. Seriously, I'd like to tell some crazy story about that night but I really fucking blacked out and I was alone. It was halloween 2015 and I was in perugia for work. Woke up in a train for napels 2 days later. For all I know I could have been raped, I was so scared that I did an STD test. Seriously, blacking out is terrible, but the worst part is the day later when mates explain what happened to you. Thank god that time my only memory was free jagermeister in a "irish" pub. Shit. I'd totally get drunk with one of you guys btw.
Austin Gray
He's right, gayfags on grinder fuck way more than straigtfags on tinder. There's nothing wrong with wanting sex and inability to form a relationship is a product of capitalism. Yurofags will see in a decade or so when capitalism does to their culture what it did to burgerland.
I would have fucked the girl and made you sleep in a bathtub. Your friend is a true bro.
You can, I like vodka or lime if I'm drinking tequila. Beer or wine isn't really alcohol and shouldn't be used to get drunk. I drink far too much for anons here to handle.
Julian Brooks
I once woke up in a graveyard. After that I've decided not to drink for a while.
Leo Bell
Trans are the logical conclusion of Chan culture. Where the fuck else would you so openly admit something of that nature. An image board gives privacy or at least the idea of privacy. Also the internet provides stimulus for one to discover themselves.
Isaac Stewart
I agree with beer (once you start the 6th beer the first two are already processed) but wine is perfectly fine to get drunk. 2 liters of wine gets me drunk pretty decently. Of course the hangover is the worst.
I've recently discovered that Ouzo tastes really good with sour cherry juice, and it doesn't give you a hangover at all.
Gavin Moore
Do your parents know about you being trans, how do you come out. I already am self medicating so I need to tell my dad soon.
Jordan Wilson
I believe is more fault of the gay culture being too laid back and to disregard anything and everything, which is kinda fugged up consideline that a relationship needs 2 people to give a shit.
Ye ur right.
There is even a gay meet up threads end /edgyptians/
Dylan Morales
Parent. Kinda I told him in therapy but I don't think he took me seriously but he hasn't kicked me out and isn't abusive so it's fine.

It takes too much liquid to get drunk off wine and my stomach blows up, two liters is way too much to drink at once. If it's lower than 80 proof it might as well be water.

Beer after a shot is common. I've done it but prefer doing a shpt after a shot because a lot of beer served is shit. There are a couple of good beers brewed here in Texas but they're drowned out by craft bullshit and too expensive to drink regularly. It takes too much volume for me to get drunk to the point my belly hurts. I also don't like wine that much, but the only ones I've had are french.
I'll do two Jameson instead.
No, most niggas won't do that much for a drunk friend.

My life is weird.

I base on what I want to be depending on what my bf finds attractive

I concur most of the left YouTube's are just keeping liberals looking for a market niche. I just hope FinnBol dosent do what many of his ideology have done. Which is not even follow their ideology and consolidate power.

That's Krushchev and Deng you are talking about, not Stalin. Stalin tried to resign four times and went out of his way to transform to socialism.
Nonetheless, I'm a ☭TANKIE☭ too but I have to admit FinnBol comes over as a little creepy sometimes when he talks about how to deal with dissent and all that. Maybe that's just Finnish autism, they always strike me as sociopaths (no hate).
Who cares? I love Black Metal. FinnBol does too. Yet many Black Metal bands would probably like to kill us.
Mason Cooper
Yes, since most of those think tanks are preoccupied with constantly owning themselves. See diaper boy
ok
New banner material imo
I force myself to socialize, it's the only way to combat my constant self-consciousness and self-hatred. It also made me realize just how shallow of a human I really am, any conversation I have that isn't niche politics or anime is mostly silence or me asking dumb questions
Uni here is mostly people competing to find the narrowest niche that will afford them idpol funding, or engineers/chem bros and nursing stacies who are decent people but don't see uni as anything more than a service
No

Mostly, I just am skeptical that they see no other solution than turning all western nations into apartheid states or straight up ethnic cleansing via deportations
Luke Walker
I really doubt it, everything about him seems like he is genuine. He is involved in real life party work in a small M-L party, as well.
M-L:s and black metallists would get along fine, just talk about how ya both like gulags rather than about killing jews.
Landon Scott
I think he'd rather play metal and watch horror movies than grab power or whatever faggots after Stalin did. Besides I'm honestly ok with MLs for the most part, I'll talk shit back but most seem ok and I like them better than bookchinfags or trots.
I don't love lovecraft, but some of his work is genuinely creepy and really shocks you with how weird it is. I think lovecraftian outside lovecraft has generally fallen flat though, best I can think of is that John Carpenter film In the Mouth of Madness. I already saw his good reads and some of his channel where he went tbrough his comics and that made me like the guy.
Lots of artists I like have dumb opinions.

dealing with the losing side in a revolution is easily the most uncomfortable part of socialism it is probably good that it makes you uneasy or else you'd be a sociopath. Also as a ML where do you get historical sources from any particular sites I want to like you people but i'm just not sure how defensible soviet apology is.

Easy: Don't defend the USSR unless somebody specifically asks for it. I think carrying arround a painting of Stalin during a protest like the CPGB is not productive unless you want to get attention only.

The collectivized farming projects of the USSR were a failure. Even if every single death was an accident it doesn't justify the complete waste of time and life it was. Stalin made the USSR a police state that was run by a bureaucratic class.Athoritarian forms of Marxism will never bring about communism because such governments seek to perpetuate themselves and their powers.
Jeremiah Roberts
I don't see any fighting here, it's not like we're screeching gommodity broduction ecks dee or muh anarkiddies notstate prisons at each other.

Actually, upon reflecting over this post, I think Hohxa was a massive autist who was unnecessarily hostile and dogmatic towards other socialist countries like Cuba. I guess I like his anti-revisionism but not his implication of it. Also Albania was comfy as fuck.

I want to get with a qt and have kids, but I think I hate myself too much to do it. I'm laying in bed trashed after 12 shots and 3 beers (11% alcb by volume) and looking at my matches and I feel nothing. I just want a gf (female) that will watch movies and read books with me but I can't get that. The best I can do is fuck some girl I get matched with and I feel more alone doing that than I do shit posting on here. I haye myself for beinf pathetic and then I hate myself more for how good I have it compared to some comrades.

Dominic Anderson
Don't meet anyone then. Abstinence is the best way to spot the woman of your life in a crowd. Trust me. Don't make sex something to consume like this, like fastfood. Make it special. Make it something you want to share with someone special. You'll spot someone special one day and if you'll feel something special (not an erection) go to her directly and fuck the rest, because she's the right one. Lonley sex like this increases lonliness and doesn't make your brain work well.
Christian Garcia
Sex isn't special to me and sex isn't what I'm after. I'm looking for someone to watch The Wind that Shakes the Barley with me and talk about it. Someone to tell me about shit I don't know and ha e conversations with. I could care less if they're a virgin or fucked a million dudes, I want someone I can connect with.
Noah Foster
I never said that. Stop using tinder because it influence the way you look at girls without you noticing. This way is less easy to spot a special one, one that makes you feel something Kino Loach at his best.

There is nothing wrong with finding a girl on tinder. It's not just full of sluts. People who have troubles talking to girls IRL should use dating apps.

Did mainstream music dumbed down too much? I don't wanna be le wrong generation guy, but seriously modern mainstream top 100 music mostly sucks and not in a innocent way. I mean they make the modern stereotype of music being influenced by ghetto culture really true. Fuck I was out of the loop for so long. It realky sets a bad example and it's just plain bad. Seriously, like child listen to this shit. It sounds like brainwashing more than anything else And them videos. Shit. Sick. I'm not saying filthy stuff never charted in the past seen how even nin had a few hits, but there was a reason why that shit was filthy and had artistic value. I think popular music was from the sixies to the late new wave stuff. I mean road steward had a lot of innuendos too in his songs, but had least he had nuance. It wasn't dark it was corny and fun. Stuff like rihanna and christ brown makes me want to puke. The only one that should be allowed air time when it comes to modern mass consumption pop should be tay tay. what the fuck is milf money btw?

Zachary Smith
Because every generation in history complains that the next one is dumber and points to some arbitrary measure like using more realism in music over symbolism when consistently the back and forth from realism to symbolism has always been about one being dumber than the other. If you honestly think songs like "Brown Sugar" or "Mellow Yellow" or "Working For The Weekend" were more intelligent songs than "ghetto culture" songs like "Humble" of this year then you live an entirely isolated, nostalgia-for-a-time-never-experienced, biased life.
Jayden Torres
First Brown sugar is rock as fuck. Second I didn't say that every single song is dumber neither while I was critiquing ghetto culture. There is ghetto culture done right (kendrick lamar) and ghetto culture done wrong. If you take the most extreme, filthy, sleeazy, vulgar song to top the chart before the 90's it will be objectively better made than modern edm. Seriously the flashy repetitive sounds are pretty fucking cheap and bad.
Joseph Davis
A song about whipping and fucking underage Black slaves is pretty fucking dumb for a top 100 song. The whole point of that song was that slavers enjoyed raping slaves like that was some useful commentary. Na, songs about big butts, that's dumb.
Levi Scott
Every core of my body cringes when I make anti-feminist opinions in public or on social media.
But god damn are these the years to be anti-feminist if any.
Justin Cox
First it had nuance. Second you are a stuoid fucking liberal if you think the song was about that. You should have heard them just around midnight This verse is about him fucking browns, but not slaves. The song is dedicated to black beauty more than anything else. Also it's only countroversial for americans
Benjamin Edwards
You're dumb as hell. The whole thing was written by the Stones to ask why racist slavers still had sex with Black women if they hated them so much. It's idiotic.
Caleb Mitchell
Plus again it was at least ambigous with the true meaning. Americans tend to forget that the song is the definitive blues rock statment because they get offended by words. Even if lyrically the song was dumb (which it isn't, it's outrageous yes) at least it doesn't glorify pimp culture and it doesn't make a joke of modern world social conditions.

Angel Wilson
I do have a hypothesis that a large amount of music amounts to basically "let's fuck" so that drunk people in clubs get the idea in their head to fuck. Surprisingly I don't assign the usual conspiracy, malice, or even quality-based rage against capitalism here. It just seems the most rational reason people would actually bother to listen to so many songs about other people fucking: Because it leads to them fucking too.
There's also perhaps something to the idea that's why unlistenable shit with particular rhythm or tempo remains popular, but even though that's probably true it sounds a bit "sexually repressed Christian conspirator"
You don't strictly have to say we're dumber. What is quite obvious is that we're less innovative.
As Mark Fisher noted, if you were 20 in the 1960s you'd be surprised how new things in the 1980s were. If you were 20 in the 1980s, you'd be shocked at how similar things in the 2010s are. (And a relatively convincing materialist reason for this is the destruction of the ability for working class artists to "create the new" due to social-economic reform. It was once joked that the UK's Department for Social Security was the biggest subsidizer of the arts in the world, back when the unemployed were taken on good faith…)
I daresay this extends as far as technological innovation. In a very vulgar "read the wikipedia on Mazzucato" sense: State does the cool part of innovating new technology, private sector integrates the technology into successful products. Neoliberals say state has no role innovating new technology because the dynamic private sector knows what technology is needed. Technology turns to shit. Obviously there's a mild counter here in that most of the stuff Mazzucato talks about is technology made by the US Military, and thus invulnerable, but still. Explains why Britain sucks which is the most important thing.
Camden Sanchez
gay sex is actually existing socialism
Logan Carter
I don't think that I completely agree with this though. Like, by what metrics did the 60s and the 80s differ for the US and Britain? Different cultures, fashions, worldviews, more developed infrastructure and an expansion of television stations. The only things that haven't similarly differed much between the 80's and the 10's are infrastructure and fashion. The 'official-ness' of governments, news and media institutions, and schools and religion have been brutally blown away, and all the dominant worldviews have had to respond, in one way or another, to the dominance of cynicism. In general, even when I think back as early as 2012, I think there have been significant cultural changes since then. The internet and the computer are, for the average worker, probably the fastest technological revolution ever. I mean it's not like slang, or music, or social mores haven't changed significantly since the 80s either. Like the average normie has heard in pop culture probably over a dozen of genres of music that didn't exist in the 80s. I'm not saying that the changes in culture are good or bad, because they've been both, but the only reason I can see why things are feeling like they're staying the same is because of economic stagnation and a lack of a revolutionary emancipatory movement, but culture hasn't stagnated just because we have.
I mean, when I think in terms of 'real' culture they're relatively few. There's perhaps a perceptible shift in certain elements, along the lines of say "political culture" (which I'd assign to us approaching a transitional era, a-la 1979.) but if you asked me to think in terms of pop music or something there's little I could say has really changed. Even if you consider a lot of internet culture, it's fundamentally backwards looking (i.e. vaporwave, simpsons shitposting.) in a way that technology surely only serves to enable.
And I think that's something that needs to be particularly emphasised. We're at peace with the past. In terms of this generation and 1980s nostalgia, we want to live our parents lives rather than tear down their structures and start again. (Which I mean, I guess you can assign to the way that even living on the dole under Thatcher was probably more stable - and more socially solidarity..ish - than being precarious today.) They're quite overblown. I mean, I must confess to maintaining a "real life / internet" divide that isn't particularly conducive to fair analysis, but on the whole i'd go out on a limb and say what the internet does is popularize obscure culture, rather than genuinely develop "new" cultures over the long term. The process of remixing is more transparent, the results less impressive and - as almost a universal rule, everything is referential.
Television is also shit but this post is already running on a bit. I might dig into more Mark Fisher stuff and share that if it's relevant. A very useful observation of his (I believe) at the time was that the 2000s were the nadir of culture. Now, I'd say they were chronologically around a reasonably good period of internet culture - but in terms of "reality", the world of Tony Blair being re-elected after the Iraq war with no end in sight, with shit reality TV and irritating pop songs was an unspeakably grim place. Grim in a sense that we can now be nostalgic for since it's safely dead and we see that the end of history was oversold - but still, in some cosmic, objective sense terrible and empty. (The Thick of It was still good though.)

Is there even any point of being a genuine leftist anymore? It seems like 99% of people are reactionary as fuck and even other leftists only focus their efforts on attacking the left.

Ín many places in the west, there's no strong & genuine leftist movement or party or whatever depending on your exact orientation. So currently there's little point in "being" a genuine leftist, one should work to build a group of genuine leftists.
This _will_ involve attacking those leftists who have shit views or who aren't genuine leftists at all. The point is to aim to take their place.

I know you didn't ask for any of those details, but it's on my mind a lot & I can't turn my brain off lately, damn it.

Definitely true. I don't like to mention this place elsewhere online because I don't want more assholes coming here, but I've set the record straight a couple of times, like on YT comment sections. Most recently the person was actually pleasant about it, said they must've been mistaken & may actually come by now that they know otherwise. So, don't initiate or speak too much elsewhere, but apparently it's worth it sometimes when people are already dogging us, to hop in & correct them. Change one mind at a time, I guess. I think that person's mind I changed was one of those spooky centrists I hear so much about…
I've caught them doing that a couple of times as if it wasn't obvious though, lmao One funny one I remember… They came here a couple of years ago, shitposted something stupid as bait, then when called an idiot, they went to /qa/ iirc & cried there about meany Holla Forums & how we deserved to be shut down. I followed him there & posted screenshots proving he was making it up, so he cried a bit more then disappeared after that. Poor, misled, random user… He was definitely not from around these parts.

When someone punched Richard Spencer in the face (the first time), Holla Forums immediately went into hyper drive to save face that Richard Spencer got punched and didn't fight back. They brought up an alleged pic of the guy "later' who had beard and was older in a black hood, they immediately convinced themselves this was slave ray, a man who likes to get pegged. How humiliating, lefties is this the best you can do? Really? Someone who likes to get pegged? hahaha oh wait
Unfortunately slave ray was dead and had been dead for a while now.
So Holla Forums ended up looking even more pathetic.
Justin Smith
The second cap explains it; he's the scat porn guy that Holla Forums "tracked down". They spread everywhere that this was the guy who punched Richard Spencer. Then when confronted with evidence that he'd been dead for about a year already & couldn't possibly have, they doubled down. Some Holla Forumsacks tried to save face by saying that they "never supported Spencer anyway lel". But they spread that shit everywhere & never questioned it, just like this poster is doing with this tranny porn.
So you realize you're full of shit but just want to "trigger lefties", amirite?

They never did catch or arrest him, he just blended back in with the crowd. Unless of course Holla Forums is right and slaveray faked his own death to go into hiding to punch Richard Spencer, which is a distinct possibility. It could happen.
Jeremiah Garcia
Or it was just someone trolling Holla Forums who knew full well that the guy wasn't antifa, but didn't also check to see if he was dead. Either way, someone using Holla Forums found a look alike in their stash & posted it there. Then the rest just ran with it because low effort windows paint collages convinced them… &/or they're so deep into ideology that they don't question anything coming from "their side".

I have my doubts. Even if change is frequent and expected, one should still be jolted by something genuinely new. In a vulgar form: What's the point of change at all if it's not novel? (This is perhaps a subjective, qualitative argument.) I now move into a complete tangent: This is why Japan is in many ways still cool, because Japan is fundamentally alien to western eyes.
I feel like Fisher probably took reasonable account of this. He doesn't seem to be unfamiliar with smaller genres. It would still seem possible to say (without any real evidence) that there's less innovation within those little genres, or it's taking longer, or it's simply not as new (I want to shoehorn in a Concorde analogy here. Perhaps along the lines of Concorde being the last radically designed airliner, before the industry started to consolidate down to similar looking planes? Even if you have a lot of technological change going on, it's basically not meaningful change in a techno-cultural sense. "You've made a more efficient bus and I don't care…") inclined to disagree tbh, mostly again on lines cribbed from fisher blogs. Love the quote in k-punk.org/precarity-and-paternalism/ ("Hard to credit now… It's worse than a shame.") on British television. Think I'd prefer not to. Comfortably sitting back in 1974 here and don't want to be disturbed by Blair's grinning face. From what I've written, the odds are probably less "underestimate" and more "truncate" since they're sort of a different topic to "cultural consumptionism" which is perhaps best what we're talking about here. (With a slight degree of "cultural productivism" but that has risks of spiralling into something else entirely.) I mean, consider imageboards, which themselves are locked in a somewhat warranted, somewhat personal*. spiral of looking backwards. When 4chan was good / 4chan was never good *The personal element arises here because of the interaction between the board and the individuals on it. As they became more cynical, self aware and so on the site began to loop around on itself. Hence the spiral from "Lol" to "Lulz" to "Lel" to "LELELELELEL xD!!!!!!!!!!", with the result that you can't really separate the individual development from the site quality - was it stupider? Perhaps. Was it more enjoyable? Probably. I have no idea what this means unless you mean >implyingtype stuff.
Although even that basic format is just borrowed from old usenet style forums, where I presume you can find plenty of people using that to paraphrase. (And presumably from there, using it to paraphrase in jest. If not literally >implying C64 is worth the cost, than certainly >inane C64 ad-copy) I daresay it would be possible to track the evolution of the Tumblr nose, but that would be a tedious task.
I mean, if you're referencing than by nature you're not really innovating, or more accurately you're innovating incrementally rather than revolutionarily.
Brody James
This I doubt, although I'm just going to use it as a jumping off point for another thing.
We're perhaps losing the sense of an overarching "Outside world" which knows things. i.e. a film "universally" recognized as great in the 1970s was, for media distribution reasons and so on, probably recognized as such. nowadays despite similarly glowing reviews and so on, we can expect a film to be forgettable. I mean, I'm going to hazard something completely random - Disney's Robin Hood is "more important" than Frozen, or something. - Frozen is much more palpably a product, and so on. (haven't actually seen the film.) Similarly, can we conceive of anyone creating a Tetris or a Super Mario Brothers today? Consider Portal, praised for innovation - does it really carry the same weight? Angry Birds? Candy Crush? Why does Sonic continue to live, but nobody else create their new mascot platformer with similar cultural relevance? (This paragraph will either be something I look back on as the most coherent point in this post, or the biggest dose of vulgar consumerist cholesterol to give me an RSI.) Maybe it's spectacle and something to do with the nature of that.
Agree here. Now a tongue in cheek but also genuinely serious thought: A computer network without "hierarchies" in some fashion or another. Presumably this is largely peer-to-peer, although we can envision from that certain peers becoming "central" to the network. (i.e. if we're just making all our files available for example purposes, my harold wilson folder may become popular - and while others will duplicate some files, mine would be the central repository.)
but in discussion format, we can envision perhaps passing around textfiles through software, which are then collated into threads to read, rather than having the hierarchical server, admin, etc, structure of a regular forum. that's perhaps the major interesting point. (and of course because this is peer to peer, we can self moderate and so on.)

Federalizing criminal law is one of the dumbest things you could do as a country. But then again, we know that Anglo-Saxon case law is utter shit anyway.
Isaac Powell
Well you could argue that many countries somehow represent a nation with different customs and all that. Obviously this isn't the case with states within a country.
Wyatt Campbell
not sure why tbh (except that federalism is a bit shit in general go go unitary states) but either way this isn't a federal question, i accept the justification for state-by-state decisions at face value. But those specific states are highlighted as "varies" while others show specific ages. i.e. West Australia has an age of consent of 16, but Tasmania and South Australia "Varies by state/province/region/territory", Texas "varies" while California is 18. The only way that could possibly make sense is if there's a further subdivision within those states.
Nolan Collins
Private law can often be customary law that varies from county to county, sometimes even from town to town. Yet criminal law should not provide such loopholes as it is supposed to provide the minimum standard a society needs to be stable, whereas private law is dependent on the intentions of the contracting party.
Historically, criminal law was also the first law which would have kingdom-wide codes to be passed by the king, after the fall of the Roman Empire. The traditional Germanic way of settling criminal offenses between clans as long as the public isn't involved proved to be unstable.
Levi Bailey
wait when you say federalizing do you mean devolving to the states, rather than bringing up to the federal level? (i.e. are you in this case making the argument for a unified age of consent in the USA.)
if that's the case I misinterpreted you and apologise.
Henry Howard
Yeah that's what I meant. I'm Yuropoor and when we say "federal" we usually mean state-level, but for some reason the US uses the term to describe the government.

Ian Fisher
Not really, if I find a youtube channel, or a book, or a comic artist, etc I do not usually, as it would be in the old days have a feeling of 'this changes everything' no matter how amazing it is, which is I think roughly what the jolt you're talking about is. Instead either the author has been there for a while, or only a few of their works have been published and they're not particularly popular. Jolts of the sort that were previously popular in culture requires mass popularity and suddenness at the same time, and you probably wouldn't count the examples of things you don't like, (Homestuck and Undertale were certainly big enough, sudden enough and enough of an evolution to count for instance, even without being mentioned by mainstream non-internet media, if you didn't like those they wouldn't be a jolt though.) I frequently find things made within the last 2 decades that I find to be utterly exceptional and even find things I find to be utterly new, but popularity explosions aren't as rapid or centralized as they used to be. and I don't really agree, but yes, that is what you would need to show. I'm not advocating for any notions of cultural equality; I don't think cultures are by any means equal, but 'real' culture does not even mean 'high' culture, it usually means culture dominated by the largest media firms. Autechre are probably part of high culture, but not in any sense part of 'real' culture because of this. Large portions of the decentralized internet is similarly excluded from the equation here. I don't completely disagree (there's certainly more looking backwards than looking towards the future), but I wouldn't say its by any means the defining factor of chan culture, or that looking backwards implies a lack of innovation, in fact I think things have moved so fast in general, that we only understand them to any decent extent (especially in old culture like novels or studies) after they have already played their course. Speed of evolution actually requires looking backwards in such a way as the default. unless you mean >implyingtype stuff. I do, the conversation we are having now hasn't really been feasible in any other social situation, it was reserved for academia until now. Forum quoting feels viscerally different to me, it's rarely useful for a line by line analysis which means the standard methods for the chans aren't feasible in forums and quoting paragraphs is similarly useless in the chans. Forums use quoting largely as a reply feature because linking isn't easily supported. This isn't significantly different than how a normal conversation plays out (a person says a paragraph, a person replies with a paragraph) our conversation like many on chans do represent a significant departure. What even would you consider to be a revolutionary innovation currently? I don't know if that's right but even if it is, it's not by any means wholly negative. Once again, dilbert 2 and 3 are not dilbert, ytps are not whatever they are from and mouth moods' 300 megabytes is not an evolution from a commercial, they're radical changes and even if you could put them in a movement that they don't radically divert from it still isn't true that a work is merely an evolution from what it's referencing. Agreed. One other thing that does differentiate this society from others is that identifying with media or genres is largely a thing of the past. (as is the cult of the individual in general) For this reason, it's less easy to define generations, there are basically no songs of a generation, or even songs of a subset, when I try to think of the past therefore, I am forced to think of the totality of the past, rather than an anthem or a style. (Niel Cici might contradict this, as to me Pokemon and Shit seem like they're trying to capture being a millennial, but he's not exactly pop).

my understanding of that music video is that the message is black people and white people should just hug it out without critically examining the history of racism in America and instead go back to blindly supporting Obama because he was polite and didn't say overtly racist things.
Thomas Torres
My understanding was it was just written by a guy with a lot of anxiety who is feeling increasingly helpless, so he looked for an easy solution. I think we could go a long way asking the question, "How do we convince a person like this that class struggle is essential in fighting racism" rather than just shitting on idpol constantly. Like we're probably not going to convince some artist, but I'm sure we can convince people like him.
Robert Rogers
Well… yeah. Whenever talking politics I think that should always be our goal. At least that's my thought process as well.
Daniel Lewis
Ok guys. I officially like Contrapoints. I also have had both a hetero & now homo crush on her, lmao. For those out of the loop like I was until watching her videos again recently, she's come out as trans & now uses the female pronouns
I was one of the assholes who knocked her when some user started posting their videos here for feedback a while ago. I still have some contention with some things she says, but who ever agrees with someone 100%?
Contra's videos are well thought out & fucking funny. That's rare to have an "edgy", educated leftist who also knows the inner workings of chans & our banter, on YT. I say more people here embrace & share her videos. The use of character roles(all played by herself) & editing is great. I think we should elevate Contrapoints' videos to compete with those alt right fucks on YT. There's too many of them & they have too much power over political discourse with younger people in the US & even abroad.
she's really just a liberal. i'm not being elitist. watch muke's discussion with her
Carter Reyes
Yeah I like here as well. Appreciate how she embraces the stereotypical "degenerate leftist" image that the right have.
She has evolved al lot in time to be honest, I honestly believe that she will eventually join us
Kayden Cook
Ofcourse that's always been pretty obvious when it comes to actually engaging with real people. But, we're on a image board that shouldn't take itself too seriously.
Zachary Hernandez
I think this is true & probably why I didn't like her at first, because I remember that being my complaint. She appeals well to liberals, too, which is why I think she'd be great to reach out to even "centrists" with.
What's funny is, I like her more than Muke, lmao.
Asher James
i like her more than muke too because i dislike muke. i feel apathetic to her
Jace Green
I should specify here that the complaint was that she was too liberal, in case that was murky
I felt the same pretty much, but she's grown on me. Baby steps, I guess. Her videos are at least thought provoking.
Oliver Garcia

who the fuck is "Naziposter"? is he an actual Holla Forumsshitter or not? I keep seeing him post stuff that could just be your average leftist post, unless I'm retarded
Luke Watson
One of the best poster on this board. I think he's only pretending, or at least hiding it really well.
I know, check the file name. Too bad he got busted too, his character was pure gold.
Adrian Green
one of the better posters left definitely not Holla Forums but not 'average leftist' either, closer to Land afaik, proponent of some kind of aristocracy if I remember correctly I've had some actually good discourse with the odd naziflag on Holla Forums, ones that read and argue properly at least doubt anyone who reads and reasons can stay a nazi for long though - even the naturally reactionary types like some essentialists and anti-rationalists will morph into something even more esoteric eventually

Spencer is not a complete imbecile, and feels the intrinsic need to make sense. This makes it hard for him to be respected and accepted in the Holla Forums circle.
If you listen to Spencer, and accept his few premises for what is the goal and what is important, everything else follows. If those were indeed the goals, he'd be right.
Christian Lewis
So the guy who killed his friend for being a commie, torched a church, got in trouble with the French police, lives his values innawoods with his autistic wife and 7 kids, is considered on Holla Forums controlled opposition?
Sebastian Ross
Also, the person ContraPoints is too softcore and casual. Like a right winger who will insist to not be racist while wishing to throw out blacks, that person seems to be ashamed of their views, so they walk in circles around them, hinting at them, never speaking directly. I dislike it.
Douglas Adams couldn't make this shit up, and I'm pretty terrified and paranoid every day about going completely broke for a degree in medicine that I can fall back on in case shit goes south. But of course, that requires money literally nobody has, and so you're in debt for the rest of your life to survive; and now they want to get rid of debt forgiveness altogether.
Education is based on property value because they don't want minorities to spread out and have social mobility. They plan to implement law that makes this even worse.
Basically every government agency is spying on you, and even your local police department.
Everything you ever say publicly on the internet at any point in time will be used against you not only socially, but in employment.
The arts are all but forgotten, and nobody is interested in abstract ideas.
Everyone is pissed and blaming the wrong people, thus making everything worse.
There is a financial crash in the imminent future.
Everything is fucked, everybody sucks. You don't know why, but you want to justify (RIPPING SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF). No human contact, and if you interact, your life is on contract. Your best bet is to stay away mother fucker. It's just one of those days!

I've been doing a bit of introspection lately. I think I've come to the realization that my desires for a gf are driven entirely by societal expectations and a desire for validation by my peers moreso than any legitimate love for another human being. However, I feel at the same time that I just can't connect with people on an emotional level, even as just friends. The only real friends I had were a result of smoking weed in a dingy dorm room with them for a year, and even then it was more about the weed than anything.
How do I go about fixing myself emotionally? Am I overthinking things? Am I just a stupid faggot?

What do you think is keeping you from experiencing these things currently?
Grayson Perry
A mix of a few things, probably. Throwing away 2 years of my life by being a shut in certainly didn't help, but even that was a result of social rejection in high school and the depression it brought me. I feel like I missed out on the best years of my life and I have no excuse for any of these feelings, either- I come from a fairly wealthy middle class family, with loving parents and siblings.
Not fully relevant, but I'm 23.
William Carter
Where were you when you realized Kermit the Psychologist was /ourguy/ all along?
Blake Murphy
I feel you. I went through similar circumstances I think. I grew up socially isolated, depressed, but also had a good family and home life.
Part of it was the ways I chose to cope with my isolation and depression. Social interaction made me anxious, so I avoided it. I stayed in my room playing video games an watching anime or whatever. The majority of my non-school "social interaction" was posting on 4chan. What I thought were pleasurable activities were mostly just distractions from the pain of social isolation. The cumulative effect made me emotionally and socially crippled, and when I left high school for college I completely shut down.
That was a little over a decade ago now. I felt similar to you I think. I didn't understand people, and I couldn't make myself understood by them. I thought there was something wrong with me in some essential way. I've come to think differently about things.
It's taken a lot of work for me, and attempts at numerous strategies and tactics, but also shaping how I viewed myself and my relationship with the world around me. I had a received idea of how "I/things are supposed to be." Because I didn't fit this idealized notions, I thought I was defective. It only hindered me more, because thinking I was defective, I didn't think anyone would want to be around me anyway, so I withdrew. As you can probably imagine, withdrawing socially isn't a strong tactic for developing social skills.
Connecting with people isn't something that just happens "naturally." Relationships and the skills necessary to create and maintain them are things you have to cultivate. Another thing you have to learn is when to listen to your feelings, and when to ignore them. At least for me, part of the difficulty I would have is that I would retreat from situations that made me uncomfortable or anxious, or give up because I wasn't "feeling" a certain way, or what I thought I should feel.
Part of it too was learning to ignore what I "wanted," and to just let things happen. I would get frustrated because the things I wanted to happen, or how I wanted them to happen, wouldn't materialize, and the disappointment would defeat me. In my experience I learned that restricting these "acceptable outcomes" too narrowly prevented me from seeing the value and possibility that unexpected results sometimes produced. I saw things too narrowly in terms of "success" and "failure" and ignored entirely the potential for "progress."
I don't know what your exact circumstances are, but I think it's safe to say that if you want to have these relationships with people, you can. It's just going to take a lot of effort on your part. For me, that meant experimenting with therapy, drugs, and constantly exposing myself to the danger of humiliation, which I always previously avoided. I'm 29 now, 30 in a few months, but things are a lot different for me now than when I flunked out of college. I have the kinds of personal relationships I was lacking then, and the ability to make them, and I don't think it's impossible for you either.

Ryder Bell
Yeah, it is, and it's probably going to keep on like that for a while. It's a process, and you're going to fuck up a lot and run into a lot of dead ends. It took me a while to find a therapist that I liked, and medication that made things better instead of worse. Just bear in mind that it's a process, and you're not a failure until you quit or you die. Keep in mind too that there are millions of people in a similar situation, and that they're out there looking for you, too.
Something that might be worth researching/experimenting with is adderall. Especially if you've never done stimulants before, it can really helpful for facilitating social interaction, if that's something you have trouble with.

I don't mind christmas but it starts too fucking early and the levels of mindless consumerism that leads up to it is too much. Once it gets to about the week before I can find myself enjoying it though.
Daniel Jones
As opposed to the lack of mindless consumerism preceding it?
Regardless, at least at Christmas the consumerism takes on a different form; that is, commodities are purchased to be consumed by others, and not the customer.
Jack Lewis
I suppose so. It just seems to be ramped into overrdrive during the build up. The part that annoys me the most in the uk is the fact that people turn it into some kind of tradition. The most notable example is the "christmas advert" thing. These companies will make a generic touching advert that people will look forward too and talk about. Everytime someone asks me if I've seen this years John Lewis, M&S, etc advert it just makes me pissed off. I know it happens all year round but it just becomes so brazen during this period. I can enjoy the actual day past this stuff though, family coming round, people getting things they enjoy, champane in the morning and so on. But the before and after try their best to ruin it, don't get me started on the boxing day sales.
Hunter Hill
A different take: it isn’t the consumerism itself that makes it unbearable but rather the way it turns a happy holiday into a goddamn stressful struggle. I want people to celebrate, I want to celebrate; I can’t help but feel really sad when I see or hear people being oh so stressed about buying gifts and foods in full markets, cleaning their houses, decorating, meeting their relatives, having a ton of parties they feel they can’t skip, etc.
Benjamin Thompson
It is, especially as the economy has suffered. The retail sector relies on it predominantly. They'd have their christmas decorations up in July if they could get away with it.
In my opinion, this holiday season is going to make or break the retail sector, and possibly the economy.

I don't intend to watch but contrived 'masculinity' is pretty common among fascists and is often idealized by Holla Forumsup types.

Daniel Cox
Analysing fascism through culture is pure liberal nonsense. It's one of the ways liberals have been able to promote the whole "fascism is a working class ideology that is based entirely upon ignorance and runaway traditionalism" meme.
philosophytube update: 35 minutes in he says that while violence to fight against fascism can be justified anti-fascists need to be careful that violence as a tactic doesn't devolve into machismo and toxic masculinity. there's so many jokes the alt-right could make about that its ridiculous.
Josiah Flores
Maybe it's badly worded but it's correct. Radicals often glorify violence in unnecessary and dangerous ways.

It seem like the tweet has been deleted. Either way, I don't see how having a "12 year old queer girl protagonist" is a problem, she'll be shown kissing other girls at the very worst.

The nazis had a rigid hierarchical structure that made dealing with the inevitable turf and policy disputes easy: just appeal to your superior. Fuhrerprinzip was ingrained into nazi ideology and without it disputes like the one between Otto Asser and Hitler would have torn the party apart before they ever got power.
The aut-right has none of that co-ordination, blind loyalty, charismatic leadership or a single rigid hierarchy. Instead it's dozens of independent groups, often with their own differing policies, priorities and beliefs. Half of the leaders are more interested in internecine disputes or lining their own pockets.
Whenever they lose momentum, blow an election or just have nothing to occupy themselves with they immediately search for people to blame and they don't spare each other the knives. Why do you think the higher-ups within the reactionary/fascist right have been coming up with make-work campaigns (like those "It's okay 2 b white" posters) that do little except keep the rank-and-file busy? They know that it's either find busy work for them to do or have them grow bored and start eating each other.
My university's education department already has a big showcase on educational products on sexuality and gender for school boards to shell out for. Because you can't teach kids without a $200 set of books and unicorn dolls!

Kids are too retarded to make understand their gender identity, which is why kids who report dysphoria have something like a 90% desist rate by the time they turn 18. Culturally affirming and reinforcing their infantile identification will do more harm than good.
Spending time with dear friends.
Fair criticism. Though I do think the Drumpfkins show some signs of checking the "charismatic leadership" and "blind loyalty" boxes, which could be interesting if the form an independent political movement if president tinyhands is ever primaried or impeached.

Christian Gray
what we need is not humour that expresses our current climate of misery in an ironic or self depreciating fashion, which merely serves to act as an outlet while maintaining the true cause of our misery. instead we must adopt the approach of Howard Beale. We must declare to the world: I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore. We must refuse to engage in actions we do not enjoy and do not see clear necessity towards until the world is remoulded. We must in all fashions act to disrupt the existing social order rather than politely seek to uphold it while providing an outlet for our misery. That must be our primary enemy, even above misery. That fear of transgression against the existing social norm. If the world is miserable it must be said not with an ironic laugh, but a guttural scream. The world should not be accommodated, but told to fuck off.
The defining feature of the period 2010-202X will be this strange duopoly of explicitly recognizing that we are miserable and stressed but refusing to do anything about, which will seem fundamentally alien to future generations and perhaps even to our future selves once we break out of this collective psychosis and press for a new future, indeed any future.

They manage in Iceland, why not everywhere else? Sexual harassment is a sexual harassment problem. I can smell your pussy from here stupid faggot That has nothing to do with alchol.

Has a kid ever understood the full extent of their identity? They just go with the flow on whatever information is fed to them, if they find the idea of being the other gender attractive or queer identity in general, they'll involve it as facet of themselves specifically for their social identity. There's little nuance to a child's thought process than a reflection of imparted information. Once we begin queer education, it will become an imparted identity for many children and not a natural becoming.
Luis Gomez
Has anyone? So like all identity. Also [citation needed faggot]
Daniel Parker

Matthew Turner
You need a source to tell you kids don't understand the difference between and meaning vis-a-vis their own identity of of sex, gender identity, gender roles and gendered expression? Are you autistic? It'll suffice to allow kids to do as they want when it comes to gender roles and gendered modes of expression, and to teach them they should not bully other kids because of that, without immediately telling them these things have deeper meaning wrt who they are and putting them into into a medicalized box. They'll learn about the insane world of adult neuroses in due time.
Ryder Reyes
What the hell? Don't spoilers work anymore? Reposting Lucy is the bourgeoisie, which is interested only in preserving their control over capital. This is done through bourgeois parliamentary democracy, where ineffectual reforms and identity signalling are substituted for real changes to property/class relations. Where the metaphor comes into play is that Charlie Brown is your typical centrist or centre-left liberal who wants change (he wants to kick the ball for once) but deep down he knows that the bourgeoisie will never given him effective control. Of course Charlie Brown could say no and seize the means of production for himself and Linus, but Charlie is tied back by his own subservience to bourgeois norms. He wants the system (of ball kicking) to be reformed without any actual change. Lucy knows this and exploits it through neoliberal ideology. Neoliberalism posits itself as a way for centrists to have some semblance of a welfare state within a deregulated, low tax, free trade capitalist economy. This satisfied the anxieties of the liberal who wants a welfare state without any radical socialist action. In theory this sounds similar to some form of social democracy (Lucy placing the ball and promising that Charlie can kick it) when in every case where neoliberalism has been implemented it has resulted in declining standards of living, rising poverty, the hollowing out of social programs and a return of a kleptocratic capitalist oligarchy (Lucy always pulls away the ball, with Charlie missing and falling flat on his back, every time). And at the end the audience blames Liberal Charlie for his naivete just as much as they blame porky Lucy for her mendacity. fug Also that happy chip guy is on half of the vending machines in my city. He fucking loves eating chips
If they show an ability to ignore the numerous differences between their various sects and are able to uphold an agreement to not counter-signal each other when things go to shit then I'd get worried. As it stands though standard counterintelligence measures should be enough to expedite the process We should absolutely not write them off though. Personally I think that we're incredibly lucky so far to be gifted a far-right leadership of absolute incompetent losers like Baked Alaska or James O'Keefe
To my knowledge I'm the only socdem posting pictures of Kiniro Mosaic.
lmao
This type of shit has been so successful at hamstringing leftism in the west that Hoover would be jealous
I don't have it on hand atm but I did read an article that cites something like that figure. I'm not sure if it's 90% though
In particular I find personal resonance in that last line, since I've spent an unreasonable amount of time myself trying to pick through culture and society to find when the "last good thing" happened. (Eventually, I settled on the 1970s while adopting a "cars without fuel coast down the road a bit" approach to explaining the 1980s through 2000s, with the obvious sense of decline running through the post 9/11 world.)
I'd actually recognize MSPA/Homestuck as in some way revolutionary, albeit a bit of a "there's been a coup in Buranda" level non-event of a revolution in the grand scheme of things. Undertale is far more evolutionary, and in aggregate would seem to be forgettable. (Although a bit like FNAF and many other modern phenomenon, it appears to be "forgettably unforgettable" - i.e. for me and many others, undertale is a distinctly 2015 phenomenon, but for others still they linger around and continue to discuss long after the event has passed. Is that not the very model of a sort of stagnation? Where once we had a linear travel of time, and you consumed the culture of the present (outside literature and libraries and so on), we now have a situation where you can slew the years back.
Minus popularity there have been some encounters of my own that give the sensation of changing everything. Perhaps it would be fair to include Mark Fisher - not so much for capitalist realism as for the general interest of digging through other tangents he's written. (These tend to slot into thought in weird places. Still, in aggregate, a big directional change on a personal level)
And perhaps there's something to that. The individualisation of culture or some equally pretentious term. I'm not really thinking of traditional forums that put your quotes in a neat box (although I have encountered imageboard type use in past, to a lesser degree.), but usenet posts. (See pic related, although they appear to be quoting 3 different people and it's in German, the format should be relatively intuitive. The key difference would be that nested quotes use ">>" where imageboards seem to prefer confusingly sticking to ">" now)
A difficult question to answer.
Angel Morris
Probably not, but children have no interest in exploring the facets of identity. How they build it is an almost complete reflection of their environmental cues. Exactly, all I'm critiquing is imparted information in contrast to information taken up consciously as property. This can be applied to practically every issue of identity education. you got method for rooting out the specific causes of certain identities being built? i'm building off few things here: 1. Children are very sensitive in terms of social identity, and will continuously form it to the information they receive in regards to the main seduction: social status. 2. Information such as facets of identity are obvious tools for forming distinct social groups. 3. These constantly enforce identity to be built socially instead of individually (imparted contrary to the conscious take up) I'm not even against queer education whatsoever, my critique could be applied to education in general. Just using queer education as an example since how new it is and the pivotal position it takes in a persons development for the rest of their life.
Evan Murphy
I wouldn't particularly consider them referencing. More like remixing, or even a sort of situationist subversion. But I feel that's probably going to build into something completely unrelated.
It must in totality be confessed I've approached this whole thing with undue lack of consideration for the internet. (Which isn't to say undue lack of credit, it's more that I've seen that Dilbert line before, and I've seen and enjoyed Dilbert, but largely treated it as irrelevant.) Mostly as my view on internet culture has moved from "optimistic" to "it can be fixed if we just try" to "this is the aral sea of culture"
I mean even consider Dilbert 2/3, those were released 6 years ago. What now? I don't consider it unreasonable to presume we're on a continuous downward trajectory culturally, any more than it would be unreasonable to assume in 1976 that things can only get worse politically. (Although despite my utter pessimism, having passed through the 2000s in some ways I still have that feeling of "the rain has ended" following a storm. You're soaked, miserable, and cold… but it's not raining anymore, Tony Blair is gone and his dominance of the political scene is no longer all-encompassing… Perhaps now, things can only get better? [They then get worse again with Cameron, but what of now?, and what of the fact "nobody believes in it anymore"?])
I wouldn't say that's the case necessarily - I mean, people still identify with Undertale and Zootopia and whatever - it's just not encompassing in the way it perhaps "once would have been" - Although perhaps it's more temporary, particularly in musical terms.
A thought on the cult of the individual: One wonders if the consumerist view of humanity that dominates imageboards ("you only matter for what you can post") may be spreading.
Andrew Turner

Mason Williams
Look, in these cases if you have the evidence to back up your argument you should probably use it. Here, found it in about six minutes: There are other studies and, yes, the science around gender identity and sex is still poorly understood.

reflecting on my own conception of 1970s declinism, i'm fascinated by the literal fashion in which i'd take on a statement like "they knew they were in a dying society" that is to say, between say 1977 and 1991 we did not merely see declinism, but death. somewhere in that long period, a society "genuinely" died. i've extruded the period out to the soviet union's demise despite my particular focus on the 1970s because of certain elements (mostly around nuclear war) lasting that long. But really, in terms of social unrest and economic failure it's a 1970s phenomenon that ended perhaps by 1985-6 when the "winners" of the new era became secure in their positions.
it's a fascinating conception. with very limited actual human deaths (i.e. no more than in any other period, and indeed less than were occurring during the vietnam war in all probability), a society died, a death as genuine as any other but much harder to pin down and impossible to date. (and with that, there is of course the sadness and mourning over a death, and in my own particular case a moving sadness because of how unmourned the death is as a totality.) Perhaps it speaks to some sort of primal horror, being killed in the night and being replaced without anyone being able to pint it down (you now see why i've attatched such a seemingly random image), which is the root reason that our present reality - a rather stable society that keeps over violence quiet, unemployment in the background, etc - is much more debilitating to imagine living in than the dystopias the 1970s imagined they would wind up in - with overt violence, roving bands of muggers, inflation leaping into the 50% range, etc.
it's a very odd behaviour to adopt to a historical period. or perhaps it isn't an odd conception at all. when one thinks of mourning soviet society, it doesn't seem quite so odd. perhaps it's a sign of being on the right path: nobody else mourns the 1970s, the tacky period of poor economic performance, bizarre fashion choices and the growing pains of consumerism - and that's why i have to, in the totality. Everyone's glad to celebrate grandad's jokes, but someone's got to remember that he was also a racist alcoholic while still in aggregate accepting him as a valuable person who will be missed.
[insufferable level of blogposting follows] i suppose there's also perhaps a slight element - very slight - of transposed expectations in there. as i had, for a variety of odd reasons, some experience with 1970s oddities growing up as a child - i.e. old books, old toys, catalogues, etc, that had been stored by family - there's some element there of one's own childhood dying as they grow, which could be experienced by any child but become all the weirder when viewed through the lens that they were already dead. i.e. a child of the 1990s can imagine that there was some "genuine" pokemon of the 1990s, which merely died in the 2010s as they grew older and close the book there. instead, i must balance the conception that even at the time i was enjoying books and even catalogues in an innocent and childish way, they were "already dead", and the society they seemed to promise was already far removed. (And thus, I can't just consider that some childish optimism was killed by maturing - instead, I must ask why it was killed before I was born, which leads one deep into history. This becomes surprisingly meta when one considers the awareness of one's own awareness - long before an articulate political interest had developed, I have a distinct memory of reading about the winter of discontent for reasons i can no longer remember. It's as though one of those "time travel and set yourself on the right path" stories had actually occurred…) [blogposting returning to standardized levels]
dislike how vain it appears / is to blog one's reflections on their own thoughts, since it's a largely un-interactive activity, but since i tend to get 90% of the way down a rabbit hole before realizing my altitude has changed my own conceptions of the world often come as a surprise to myself, spurring the need to try and develop them textually.
decided that 1970s post was too self indulgent so decided to write a less self indulgent post but then it got really self indulgent so i made my second thread (or so) ever on leftypol.

Hardly, struggle exists even inside capitalism. All the countries where social democrats have had a real influence are proof of this. You can force the bourgs to be nicer to you.

Because defeatism means you lose battles without a fight and let porky roll over you unopposed.
Why do you think the GOP threw itself day after day at Obamacare since it was first announced? Abortion since Roe v. Wade? If you throw yourself at the enemy enough times you'll eventually get it right. At the worst your enemy has to continue fighting for every square inch of ground gained, every tiny policy reform passed.
Camden Gutierrez
There's an interesting parallel here in terms of the story of the UK Labour Party undergoing neoliberal reform through the 80s and 90s, actually. One of the interesting parts of "New Labour" is that it brought neoliberalism in a peculiar form - there's no real logical reason that the commitment to Devolution was kept, for example. That happened because in the weird nature of battles inside the party, it just happened to be salvaged. The same was probably true for all women shortlists and a variety of other policies - meanwhile on the economic ground, the economic nationalism of people like Peter Shore. (In what could have lead to a European style from of neoliberalism - once surmised in a now memory hole'd policy document as "The Conservatives are the party for the city of London [i.e. finance], we are the party of industry.") ironically aligning with a Euroskepticism of sorts from it's advocates. All sorts of those individual battles played out - and while they did fold to the summary leaflet form of neoliberalism ("social liberalism plus right wing economics") they didn't have to take the form they did - we could've had a european model of neoliberalism, or a supply-side oriented, euroskeptic party, or a pro-devolution, pro-proportional representation, economically supply side but not quite as communitarian-drugged, or all sorts of things, there were genuine policy battles going on here and the New Labour that resulted - while fitting a general model - was indeed the result of individual battles as much as any small group imposing their will elsewhere.
the make up of course also reflects the factions in the party - both in terms of "hard left, soft left, right" and in terms of how they viewed the 1970s. ("we lost because we were too right wing, we lost because we were seen as being too left wing, we were genuinely too left wing…"), which despite my summary don't actually map 1:1 onto one another (many in the soft left - having no knowledge of economics - probably still presumed the party was "genuinely too left wing". Similarly, some on the hard left may well have known the perceptions were damaging while holding that they should manage perceptions while not moving in reality.) as well as a few actually sane positions which have more nuance and were quietly strangled to death in the bathtub.

Fascinating. I can understand, sort of - Canada's very much a federal state and a lot of the internal wrangling over policy happens over regional/linguistic lines. The current tories are a merger of a populist right party based in the west, and a centre-right red tory party with a base in the eastern provinces and parts of Quebec and Ontario. At convention time there's always a lot of wrangling over competing regions trying to get their policies onto the platform and vote down contradictory planks pushed by other factions. Surprisingly few intra-party battles are over serious (non-religious) ideology differences, though
I'm a new convert, cut me some slack. Most of my effort posts are on right-wing movements, and I admit that most of my posts (like ) come from a residual right-wing worldview. Also, KinMoza isn't loli

I think they're part archived since there's hollaforums and such. (Will never forget Hollaforums because in the MarxistMatey comparison image, 'leftypol' has been replaced with 'Holla Forums' at random) Whether that's good or not I don't know, since there's little guarantee I agree with anything I said even a month ago. (Though usually it's less firm disagreement and more an irritation with minor details.) Though Hollaadsense had twin disadvantages - flags are stripped out and conversations become impossible to follow.
should probably start archiving some textwalls for more efficient posting outside this thread. (which is never a good idea.)
incidentally hope marxistmatey is well, that was a fun few days maybe weeks. (also i've belatedly realized i never made any jokes about the threads being anchored, like pirate ships which also require anchors, and now i'm off to build a time machine.)

In all honesty it looks like they made a chalk mural, which isn't really graffiti since it doesn't damage the surface being drawn on The big TPUSA fuck up is that they slapped their shitty watermark over the mural
This is true though, they have zero self-awareness and would absolutely call the cops if they saw A.C.A.B. chalked on a sidewalk

No joke, I have a Japanese brothel picked out that does Touhou cosplay. When I get a job I'm going to get me some delicious nursing handjob action from Sakuya

The DPRK isn't that bad tbqh. The propaganda levelled at the regime by our media is utterly ridiculous.
Yes, they've been forced into the development of a strange system in order to survive, but that's the fault of hostile capitalist imperialists. The fact that they are still managing to provide for their people, while also expanding their nuclear programme, despite the difficulties inherent to their situation (including lack of arable land) is commendable, and serves as a testament to the efficacy of a centrally planned economy even in the most unfavourable of conditions.
Zachary Young
Back in the 1990s the Canadian right went through a double whammy of a major party split and a 10 year Liberal hegemony that fought them bare-knuckled with dirty tricks and insults at every turn. It inflicted a kind of permanent trauma on Canadian conservatives: they decided that they could only win by having zero scruples, being in a permanent aggro campaign mode and prioritizing winning elections above everything else. Most of our alt-righters are followers who have joined up because they think that hitching their car to white nationalism is the best option.
Also, Canadian fundraising/political finance laws are ridiculously flimsy. You can basically set up a non-profit foundation and hoover up as many donations as you want from foreigners (outside of the official election period). American alt-righters sometimes use their Canadian cousins to launder donations
Also god bless Chretien, he may have been a neoliberal shithead but he had that genuine rural charm and was willing to choke a protester on camera when the opportunity arose
i'm politically illiterate when it comes to canadian politics even though i fucking live here, is there any chance you can give me some concise points of why our politics are so shit? what are some events that really showed how inept the government is?

Chart that I downloaded from Roosh V site and that Is totally retarded. How in the hell the would know about it? They did a survey on their site? Then why a lot of countries where pornography is illegal appear there? They did it on twitter or somewhere else on the internet? How most african country, Middle eastern country, china and NK even had the chance to be part of that survey when they don't have access to internet or our internet in case of china and NK? Titties>ass. But If I have to choose I'd rather have skinny, taller than average with pretty face. I do not diss petit if they got that pretty face tho. Also little is ok, but caked is a big nono. Also no dark skin.
Nathan Rivera
These are my most important intellectual influences, ranked.
I am at this moment working on a book, currently totalling 1,500+ pages, that I consider to be a coherent, consistent, and most importantly practical synthesis of the relevant parts of each of these influences, as an attempt to produce a work that will unify the movement.
On condition of secrecy, at a number of stages in its development, I have had what I have written read by a number of prominent leftist intellectuals, each of which said that the work is groundbreaking, and indicative of a young and fresh mind unfettered by tradition and orthodoxy looking at each division in the movement with a critical, empirical eye.
Justin Rivera
Not bad. Didn't you post about that before? Sounds great, and I'm sure many of us would be interested in reading it when it's ready. Are you looking to get it published?

A lot of it traces back to federalism and regional identities which have been in place since before 1867. It forces Canadian parties to try and balance regional needs and demands, which often conflict with each other given that the economies of each region have different needs. For instance a lot of the hinterland around the St. Lawrence river and Lake Ontario and Erie has/had a built-up industrial economy that could have benefited from smaller, more restrictive trade deals with developed economies to keep Canada from being flooded with cheap chinese shit. Meanwhile the western provinces and rural Ontario are entirely centered around natural resource extraction for export. You need to barter trade deals with countries that are consumers of raw materials (like China) to secure market access for coal, ore, timber, and certain agricultural products. Those countries are obviously going to demand concessions for their exports. In addition resource extraction is capital intensive and benefits from said cheap chinese shit (until it breaks). In places like Atlantic Canada and parts of Quebec and Ontario it's completely destroyed local economies that relied on some protectionist measures.
Many other issues fracture along these regional and linguistic lines - bilingualism, tax policy, attitudes toward social assistance programs such as Employment Insurance, and even immigration. A lot of politics, electoral or otherwise, revolve around these regional divisions and the resulting necessity to build coalitions from them in order to govern. Look at a map of the 2015 federal election: the Harper tories did basically nothing for Atlantic Canada, signed shitty trade deals and fucked with social programs that prop up the local population. The region has always been Liberal-leaning but the result was that every seat in the region went Liberal.
The OTHER dynamic is more recent and stems from the fallout of the 1993 election, which was a populist backlash to the two-party system where establishment politicians governed the country through regional coalition building. This is similar to what's happening in western anglosphere countries, where right-wing rural and suburban populists are pitting against educated, socially progressive urbanites, liberal-left millennials (who are also usually urbanites) and immigrants (again, urbanites). As time goes by you can expect this dynamic to be more powerful than the regional dynamic (outside of Quebec, which is its own fucking article)
This is the Coles Notes version of current Canadian politics and glides over or ignores many other dynamics such as First Nations politics, interest group and religious issues, idpol etc.
Pre-1993, yes. Although under Pierre Trudeau (the father of our current Prime Minister Justin) he was left-leaning and a lot more willing to steal ideas from the social democratic New Democratic Party (NDP) whenever it was convenient to do so.
Post-1993 our tories are a lot more identical to their british cousins, and in the western provinces tories are more close in ideology and rhetoric to Republicans. The Liberals are your shitty blairite neolibs in that they're socially progressive but will campaign on a fiscally centre-left platform (to attract NDP/Green voters) and then govern with a neoliberal platform with some additional spending here and there, often in the form of subsidies for big corporations.

No, It's not false. What I was trying to explain is the booty culture these days is anti intellectual and culturally american as it gets. It comes out that the chart I posted was trying to prove that niggers like ass, more that anything else. There is nothing false in the statment that ass culture is cancer and comes from the mind of americans who wanted to create the McWomen. Twerk, Kardashians and all that shit is your creation, It's your media that teach us that a good woman must have an ass bigger than a truck. Look no further than the twerk trend really. I wouldn't know abou that honestly, most here where I live are either equador or perù and all from poor background, all pretty fucking ugly. I meet a few models tho and I discorvered that they were mexican and brazilian, they didn't look latinas tho. Even the one you posted barely looks latina. Don't know why you guys try to force this "Whites are ugly" meme, maybe contrarianism? Maybe to trigger Holla Forums? Maybe because most of you are americans and tired of your McWomen? Don't know

Hudson Powell
Are you telling me engaging in obfuscatory philosophical jargon and cuddling dogs are not equal means of an organic revolution. I'd post my dog but y'know - its the internet
feel like we are living in a distinctly curvy, stringy period and that i am a squared opaque object.
that may sound completely incoherent but since it's a sort of emotional inkling onto something solid it's the fastest introduction to the concept. it's essentially the sensation i feel where i see people with a coherent identity - especially say tumblr people, tumblr is the big thing here. now let's say a huge part of their identity is being gay and doing liberation events and so-on. i mean, ignore the politics here - that's great. they have an identity, and they do stuff, and then it intersects with all sorts of other things like the homestuck fandom and so on, and they identify with all these groups in a very fluid, "stringy" way that is hard to pin down and very dynamic, essentially told from the internet age.
by contrast with difficulty in identifying with much and even more difficulty in actualising that identity (i.e. i may unambiguously identify as social democratic, but i've never gone out to speak about a potential policy platform, gone doorknocking, etc.) we get a relatively clunky and restricted result, and while i can still identify in some measure with elements of fixed identity (country, birthplace, town, etc.) this too happens in a fashion that would seem - were i american or such - too rigid to fit into the alt-right nationalist type of movement, which itself seems like quite a stringy, deterritorialized thing.
this misses much of the nuance of the situation but i think that the tumblr type of situation i described - which is perhaps a bit of a vulgar archetype - is the modern Zeitgeist that we will come to reflect on if the Zeitgeist ever changes. In part, I have the mild paranoia that I'll feel I've missed out if it ever does, because as I emphasise despite not being one of these people, I do see it as a perfectly legitimate behavioural structure, even if i make a question of taste out of it - unlike the alt-right in particular, I can even see a degree of what may be termed "Overt SJWism" and think "Well fundamentally, I can see you're a good egg.", and there's a lot of crossover with vaporwave and similar things here.
There is of course an internet aspect to all of this. If Tumblr and Twitter provide this stringy decentralization, imageboards do not to the same degree - reddit, perhaps on some segments does. Imageboards would perhaps seem to be the primary external route of my pathology - this non-existent state, inability to identify and to solidify. The Tumblr approach is to identify now and to identify strongly, and the imageboard approach is to not identify at all, almost, perhaps. In the former approach there exists far greater scope for moving forward, despite the warped temporalities of our time being the very mechanism that makes the specific tumblr approach - instead of a more generalized consumerist or social-liberal-liberationist approach - possible.
when i said an opaque object, perhaps i was inaccurate, or only partially so. opaque insofar as to be difficult to understand, or not overtly giving away details (although that is what i am doing textually, it lacks the same force.), a transparent object - in the sense of ghostliness - may also have been accurate.
there is perhaps a matter of comfort or confidence here - "they are brave enough to take on an identity" - but much moreso i think there's the matter of feeling the need to do so in the first place. the reason for the opacity is not a fear of saying firmly "i am a fan of vaporwave", but the problems of actualising this fascination - by making profile pictures, discussing in groups, decorating to the aesthetic or so on. Instead we have a very internalized situation, an autistic situation if you will. In the world of the personal branding, we have the generic model human. (the actual paintless wholesale generic, not the redditor-generic which technically comes in multiple interchangable brands.)
there is a very curious element to this, in instinctual terms: i am positive to it, but i would recognize it as a fundamental creation of the neoliberal era. perhaps a positive signpost of things to come? or perhaps merely the good friends element of the cyperpunk dystopia. we are walking on a transparent bridge above a chasm with only faith to defend us.

I did, you're just too assravaged about something to make sense pastacuck. That sexual preference is somehow anti-intellectual is retarded and has no basis in reality, if in ten years burgers preferred tall women or redheaded women it would be no more indicator of the dominant ideology than opinions on deserts. The reason ass got popular in burgerland is niggers got popular and make up a sizeable portion of the population, just look at any media pre late 1980's media and you'll notice focus is almost exclusively on tits with blacks being rare outside of Blaxploitation films. We can either assume that the anti-intellectualism only sprung up sometime in the 80's to coincide with the shift from tits to ass in burger tastes instead of being a product of protestant cancer and liberalism dating back to the 19th century, or we can look at the fact that porky was trying to get more customers, like blacks, to buy his shit. Furthermore an analysis shows that the McWoman is a myth, burgers are offered a variety of different types of women to lust after in media and advertising because porky is aware of differing tastes within the population, and wants to appeal to various tastes using different takes. Instead of a McWoman, the ideal women of burgerland can be better described as being separated into different barbie models, such as Tall and Thin like Taylor Swift, Big and Busty like Kardashians, cute and petite like Anna Kendrick, or various other combinations made to appeal to different tastes prevalent. Is there anything you aren't butthurt over?
Blake Green
This is so fucking stale. The question at hand is: will or won't the US reduce a country to ruin and kill millions for what are in effect their imperial ambitions in East Asia?

Just like the Trots saying that Syria needs a Communist revolution and supporting the FSA. also by the logic we might as well not talk about foreign policy and international affairs at all, leave it all to the proffessional politicians, lobbies and NGOs since your local chapter, small party or group of friends don't have any power over your country's policy. That would make you exactly what almost every burger was, including those in Red Unions, all the way up to the Vietnam War, because opposing one sided agression and domination over poor people thousands of kilometres away is the kind of politics that you should only participate in if you're a drug addicted egotistic musician, NOT an average voting citizen with a conscience and a minimal understanding of capitalism.

Assad is a liberal and a revolution will be needed at some point. This shouldn't be controversial to any communist.

By inviting these ideologues on as pals, you tacitly legitimise their abhorrent views. In many respects it affirms their respective ideologies, or at least the individuals popularising them, as moral equals. I find it pretty intolerable, personally.
Either they want to be part of some "le edgy political collective" comprised of far-leftists and far-rightists sharing banter with each other, or they want to actually popularise and promote socialist ideas, which necessarily involves attacking in the harshest possible terms (or at least with the most brutal and unforgiving mockery) those views we oppose.
Pierre Tru-Dank is a primary example of this; he describes Kraut&Tea as a nice guy (which he very well may be), and ShoeOnHead as a friend. Whether or not this is true is irrelevant; these people are mouthpieces first and foremost, and any personal relationship should be kept private or avoided. They are in positions of influence, however minor, and need to be taken to task (or at least ignored).
seriously? The Amazing Atheist and Vegan Gains are more politically radical than these two. If your argument were that we shouldn't humanise liberals and liberalism then it would make more sense.
Angel Edwards
Is it just me, or are they like the same character?
Jonathan Ortiz
I was using them more as examples of people who the left shouldn't be particularly friendly towards. ShoeOnHead is broadly harmless peak-IdPol, but still anti-left afaik, but Kraut&Tea's brand of inoffensive liberalism is a real danger and needs to be picked apart ruthlessly.
As far as actual far-rightists go, though, Morrakiu's comments have been "loved" by certain leftist youtubers, sometimes even replying in a lighthearted, jovial manner manner, rather than having them removed or ignored.
As far as I'm concerned you're either principled about promoting socialism, and that involves not doing anything to legitimise capitlism or its mouthpieces, or you're not serious about it and just want to make edgy content.

In large part because the alternative prior to PAP rule was massive, city-destroying Nazi masturbation fantasys. Singapore has stringent hate speech laws targeting any kind of racism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition_Act_(Singapore) The case of Public Prosecutor v. Ong Kian Cheong involved a middle-aged Christian couple, Ong Kian Cheong and Dorothy Chan, who were charged with possessing and distributing seditious publications contrary to the Sedition Act, and distributing objectionable publications contrary to the Undesirable Publications Act. The works were tracts by Chick Publications which the couple had posted to Muslims, and the charges alleged that the tracts had the tendency to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between Christians and Muslims. Following a trial, the couple were found guilty and sentenced on 6 August 2009 to eight weeks' jail each.

There was also a communist movement within singapore during the 60's after they gained independence.

AFAIK Lee Kuan Yew was originally inspired to go into politics by Mosley's "fascism: 100 questions asked and answered" so the movement was pretty much a copy-paste of the pre-1937 BUF in its early days, but it dropped the whole militarist/totalitarian shtick pretty quickly.

Surprisingly coherent thought from the blue: The creator of Wikipedia is a Libertarian. Is it not then fascinating that Wikipedia has become a Byzantine administrative oligarchy? We should conceive that in an ancap society, an oligarchy would indeed emerge - but the specific bureaucratic form it took should be an anathema to the slick, efficient systems that such thinkers desire.
This is a fascinating parallel to the results of the neoliberal experiment. Indeed, the direct citation of Hayek is perhaps the most fascinating element of all of this. Say what you want about Hayek - indeed, I encourage you to do so even if it's not actually true - but can we really imagine that Hayek would have wanted the market stalinism that has emerged in public service and elsewhere as attempts to marketize without privatising took hold? Is this not just central planning tyranny with the pretence to an artificial price system?
Yet it follows so simply from that conception of the market, of competition and of rational individuals. In warning of rational central planners sending us on the road to serfdom, we instead find ourselves directly recreating serfdom all the same - but in a system of bureaucracy. The worker pays tribute to the assistant manager, in turn to the manager, to the chief manager, to the local target-manager, to the regional target assistant, to the regional target manager, to the national target manager…
A smarter person than me could surely make good use of this interesting tendency in an article or such. (To some degree it's re-treading the ground of Adam Curtis' "The Trap" but with a much finer brush.)

Yes, these are the theoretical enemies, but the practical enemies are the two states/societies/economies that are extremely powerful and highly organized against us. Not every American/Israeli citizen is an enemy of course. I myself am an American citizen by law, although I don't consider myself to be an American. But anyone who willingly participates in either America's or Israel's economies/systems is an enemy, although there is still potential for them to become enlightened and join our ranks as comrades.
When I say, "Death to America and Israel" I don't mean death to any individuals, but death to the IDEAS of America and Israel, and the institutions that manifest those ideas into material reality, namely the states called "The United States of America" and "Israel", and the capitalist economies they enable. yes, there are other enemies as well, but those two are leading the charge.

I'm not going to ask you to solve this- everyone with a basic level of intellect knows that the eigensolutions of this system are the Hermite polynomials. No what I want you to do is find the eigenfunctions when for x0 V(x)=a2*x^2.
I'm sorry Holla Forumsack this is a board for smart people, if you can't solve this basic problem, I doubt you can even follow the shitposting threads on this board.
Bentley Gutierrez
anything can be commodified under capitalism, so it stands to reason that Cultural practices (artistic expression, styles of dress, etc.) can be sold as products or used to sell products. The "problem" with cultural appropriation as a concept is it presumes that there wouldn't be mingling of culture naturally and that it's possible to maintain a static culture indefinitely. Though I guess the counterargument for that it cultural appropriation is deliberate, profit driven, and inherently "inauthentic". a disposable "fun house" version of "true" cultural exchange.Also you could argue it's an essentialist concept. the implication being that groups of people aren't allowed to deviate from the cultural norms they "own". I can understand how some people find it frustrating, but I don't see how you can possibly stop it. There's only so much you can guilt people into caring about and without a genuine stigma (as opposed to let's say complaining on the internet) you can't really stop anyone from wearing Kimonos to night clubs or referring to their friends as niggas (spelled "ni**as" to make it OK, naturally) or whatever .

I was wrong, in the sense that you used two very similar symbols to convey a different meaning. You have to accept that this doesn't have a *correct* answer in that you haven't actually defined the image of two beers as being two beers. Now, hear me out. A glass of beer, is being used a symbol for a number. But how do we know, when looking at this picture of a beer glass that there is not, another one or more glasses behind it, obscured by the first? The number could then be anything we wanted, since we don't know how many beer glasses are hidden behind it. The difference is that I accepted Beer as the symbol for 2, and not the TWO GLASSES of beer as the symbol for the number 2.
Now if the image had (Beer Glasses)/2, then I would accept what you're saying is correct. But what you are doing now is literally arguing semantics.
But you are right, I was wrong, but so are you. The specific image of ONE beer glass, has not been given a value, and there is no reason to believe that it's value is related to the image of two beer glasses. Look at the image attached. Is the answer 7 or 12? You don't know, because you can't tell if what I've written is 3 or 8. This is what this image does, only the image of the single beer glass can take literally any value.
Also, I assume you STILL haven't found those eigensolutions? Just out of interest, how would you clarify your mathematical ability, can you say calculate the integral of the exponential function?

Technically I suppose you can remember that while Libertarianism mostly defends financial contracting, they meme that any two people agreeing to do anything voluntarily is actually what capitalism is all about. (Hence risible titles like 'Voluntaryism') Then there's a bunch of stuff about Hayek and information theory like he says himself. (Since Hayek's big thing was to say "Oh look, prices distribute information - if a copper mine explodes, you just need to see prices rise to know copper is more scarce, and individual actors will do this themselves before a central planner has finished listening to the news about unconfirmed reports of an explosion.) Then there's the "haha the state didn't create this" element to Wikipedia.
But the real reason he's probably remained a libertarian all this time is because he's so busy with the begging for money and the bureaucracy (ah yes, let's get involved in an edit war over gamergate!) that he doesn't have much time for political reflection :^)
not sure if this is a philosophical reply contextualized by the argument about beer and maths, or a reply to the wrong post. Enjoy it anyway.

How can LeftComs be your comrades if you're not their comrade? Also, how the fuck do you imagine cooperation between MLs and AnComs to look? And why hate on Trots but not the other spawns of Lenin when they're so damn similar?
Also, before you write anything take a day or two to flesh out a really thorough outline of what your paper should look like. Carve things into sections and subsections that you can complete within a day, so that when you finish up at the end of each day you'll notice yourself making progress and be motivated to continue. Schedule breaks both within the work day (go jogging, stretches, drink water or whatever to keep you from getting stiff and tired) and also schedule a break day on the weekend where you don't do anything except relax (seriously, don't even think about the paper on your days off).
Finally, aim to finish a few days BEFORE your due date so that you have a time buffer in case of emergencies and you'll have at least one full day to print out your paper and do a thorough edit. When editing, do so using a printed out copy of your paper if you have access to a printer. I find that I catch more errors, holes and inconsistencies in my writing when reading a paper copy then if I'm staring at the same .doc file I've been staring at for days or weeks. Make annotation in pencil and then transcribe them to the digital version.
Hope that helps!

Sorry for taking so long to answer I dunno, I think you're being optimistic. Take the surveillance State itself, for example. It operates on the principle of recording everything, then either checking the data post facto for information, or simply relying on AIs, which will become the norm soon enough. Classifying something as a crime will be just a matter of programming a bit. I wonder if this ease of criminalization will tempt the authorities to go overboard. Oh who am I kidding, of course it will.
Now that you mention it, I just realized that not all types of data caches can be sifted through by AIs. Crimes are something rather objective, but how can an AI know what's a historically relevant fact if we can abrely know it ourselves? So some fields won't benefit from these AIs I guess.
The SocDematic Dialogues, or: Rosa had it coming
Oh I spend waste a lot of time thinking about something like that: at how much human potential is wasted, especially in capitalism. Another way to say it is how unoptimized human skill is. But then again, everything is unoptimized now, but that's another matter. About human potential, have you ever stopped to think how much of it capitalism wastes? All the thronging masses of proles and peasants who will scarcely get past primary education if they're lucky, let alone be able to try musical instruments or electronics or crafts or whatever else. That kid who just shat himself to death in a Mumbai slum? He would have been history's greatest poet if only he had the chance. Capitalism doesn't care about realizing human potential because it's not a system made to benefit humans, obviously. They just leave people to survive the best they can, and what little potential gets realized is "optimal" and proof that capitalism is working just fine. It's the funny teleology of capitalism: there are no goals beyond increasing capital, so whatever the result is, it's the ideal result, or rather, even the only result possible, so stop complaining and fall in line. "It could be much worse", is the capitalist's stock response, to which we ought to say "it also could be much better". Yes I stole this from a Calvin & Hobbes strip.
Not that the USSR was perfect, of course, but it was much better. As far as I know, all schools, at least primary ones, taught music, arts and social sciences, not to mention several optional afterschool activities like photography and chemistry. AFAIK, by the 80s, a choir was present in nearly every school, and they were aiming to have a cinema room in each and every one of them. This touches on somethin I once read in a Christopher Hitchens column which I could swear was published in Vanity Fair, but I was never able to find again. Regardless, he says that a rather unknown Marxist, whose name I raly wish I remembered, pointed out a central contradiction in th socialist State: it built man up with full healthcare and great education, only to then cut him down if he tried to express himself or act a bit too divergently. With great capacity to realize his human potential but few outlets, his energies often turned towards attacking the very State that denies him outlets, despite it being the same one that built him up in the first place. The socialist State not only armed its enemies, but created them.
David Lewis
Huh, this is just like the loop you mentioned. Yeah it can certainly be a vicious cycle I suppose. But of course, this is largely due to the fact that we're LSC humans, and are raised to be uncultured and self-centered. It's inevitable that such a person will consume lowest-common-denominator art, which just so happens to be easier and cheaper for Porky to produce. It's almost like it's in several of Porky's interests to keep us dumb and ignorant…
It's the exact kind of argument I always hear when someone complains about the abyssal quality of TV programming or pop music: "We're just giving the people what they want! If they didn't want that, they wouldn't be watching it! They can just vote with their remotes!" Funny that at no point we're actually asked what we want. Any similarity with the elections in a liberal democracy isn't a coincidence. Either when picking a president or a sci-fi series, you don't have a choice, all you can do is merely acquiesce to whichever pre-selected Porky you loathe the least.
It didn't dumb down, it was dumbed down, much like capitalism does to any consumer products. Now don't quote me on it, but I faintly recall reading a few years ago that the British Billboard used to be managed by a different company than the American one, the latter of which was at the time stuffed full of blingsta rap, teenage bimbos, phony RnB and the likes, while the British one still was mostly rock and some decent pop. Guess what happened when the American one's owners acquired the British one.
It's the same old thing. Lowest-common-denominator.
As far as music goes, that's pretty much right.
I have no doubt that the music industry Porkies have studied what makes songs sell and have it down to a science.
It really feels like pop culture entered a time spiral in 9;11, didn't it? And that static gestalt is spreading all over the world. I think I said before how nothing is created, everything is recycled, reinterpreted and remixed. A side effect is the absurd level to which pop culture references pervade both pop culture itself and our daily lives. Try to notice how many in-jokes from comedy shows you share with your friends daily. It has gotten to the point where, when you come up with something clever, people ask you "nice, what's that from?".
Now that that I think about it, it~s strange how the rate of informaion creation keeps rising, yet pop culture is so stale.
How much of that is due to TINA and the death of communism tho?

No problem. I also forgot, watch your diet. Avoid high-sugar, high-fat, high-salt junk food that gives you a quick rush but leaves you crashing and feeling awful later on (and craving more). Caffeine is ok in small amounts, ease off if you're drinking five or six cups in one night. Drink water and try to snack on things like carrots, baby tomatoes, fruits and other things that are sweet but also have nutrients and are more filling.
One of the things I actually genuinely detest about social justice movements is how they lump in people with serious mental illnesses in with the rest of the oppressed. Yes, attitudes towards mental illness should change but most people with autism or other behavioural disorders aren't people who think differently and being oppressed by the cishet neurotypical oppressors. They can't feasibly live on their own without assistance and many shouldn't be out on the streets period, they need medical help not thinkpieces.

Four armies attacking at once across such a long line disorientated the Austro-Hungarians, causing them to massively overestimate Russian superiority in artillery (despite having a similar number of guns (though more shells) than the AH defenders.
In addition, the movement of trenches close to the opposing trenches, improvement of communications between the front line, and both reserve forces was essential. Also, the fact that the field wasn't turned into a morass by artillery fire allowed supplies to be moved easily to the front.
Oh, and the length of the front prevented enfilading fire (which had destroyed the Russians after initial tactical successes in December in Bessarabia, and in March at Lake Narotch.)
He did call him true kvlt though which is probably something I'd brag about to every black metal fan I met after that point.

Sort of reminds me of the Aztecs. "After the creation and destruction of four worlds, the universe had exhausted itself. We live in the shadow of those real words; their echo, their chalk outline. In each of the four previous worlds, humanity was newly created by the gods. Present-day humans were not: we are the living dead. After the destruction of the fourth world, it lay in darkness for fifty years, until Quetzalcoatl journeyed into Mictlan, the Aztec hell, and reanimated the bones of the dead."
Well to be fair, "racial science" or any sort of theory that tries to figure out differences between demographics can't be "collectivist idpol" in itself
I think this is where the left often gets it wrong: we don't need to fucking argue against Autism Level or crime statistics or whatever. Its just that racist politics aren't justified even if they are grounded in statistical differences between demographics.

At least I can feel happy that FinBol has almost as many subscribers as muke, I guess. Only a difference of like 300.
Ryan Martinez
on an unrelated point i think part of the reason the internet is a shithole is the influence of classical liberal thought.
there seems to be a lot of almost "apolitical" influence. I mean for example take the Hayek thing and Jimmy Wales. Cut out anything about tax policy or the size of the state and just look at he raw principles - "We can do this, rational individuals can do this voluntarily without overthrowing the outside world" - Or look at imageboards: "Anonymous discussion means you're only as good as your arguments, which will set us free from personality based circlejerks and yield better discourse" - and so on. Now none of this directly relates to overtly recognizable politics, but in terms of a framework and a worldview it does.
And that's why it's shit, because that worldview is wrong. going to go for lefty cred and surmise it as you can't just hide from material conditions behind the veil of a silicon chip. The dollar can't be beaten by the scholar puked a bit in my mouth at that rhyme but it's staying in lol arguing that it decreases the quality of culture.
at the same time there is perhaps the fact that in limited circumstances, especially in early history - perhaps they were right. perhaps one person's little essay really could change the direction of the network community before it expanded to the point of being mediated entirely by a hayekian dictator system. i.e. if hayek's price system is every individual actor sending information via price - the fact i've blown up a coal mine means coal prices go up and, without anyone communicating verbally, it's known coal is more scarce, while a central planner must communicate consciously which is a slower process - then a hayekian dictator system is a system where by the actions of individuals, without verbal communication - say perhaps via broad-based memes (non humourous, modes of behaviour) mediated by finance - enslave one another. A decentralized dictatorship will be more efficient than a centralized one since by merely acting, everyone contributes to the decentralized dictatorship and the social-interrelation of people enslaves people.

not sure about that honestly the pre-political chan culture wasn't really about good arguments, I mean, sure, they were respected, but there was the whole "for the lulz"/trolling mindset sure we all hated forum circlejerks but that was more about hating authority and dishonest bootlicking and having morals, I think
Robert Smith
oh it was always bullshit, but it's a case that was made. and which i believed, ideologically, for quite a while. consider the descriptors in wakaba.c3.cx/shii/shiichan strictly it doesn't have to mean quality arguments - more broadly it could be stated "you're as good as your content" which is in a perverse sense true - it's just that in practice it means language and formatting policing rather than filtering to genuinely enjoyable posting. (i.e. on a regular forum, a good post may be ignored because it's by a new poster - here it will be because they used a shibboleth like "cultural appropriation" unironically.)
although the "classical liberal" mindset also lends itself well to hypocrisy. (hence the ability of imageboards in particular to do that dance between moralizing "eww look at furries! gross! what would the parents think!?" and terrorizing [basically everything with Chris Chan ever.]) In part though this is just a fundamentally human trait, but it aligns itself interestingly with libertarian conceptions of a stateless/small state world. (Where, free of state oppression, they will always be the John Galt rather than the ihaven'tactuallyreadthebooksomeprolewhodiespainfully)
SA was the same i guess. It's perhaps getting very tangential but that crossover is fascinating. Diaperfurs applying the public morals of a 40 year old republican preacher to the internet behaviour of other diaperfurs…

No problem, it took me a while to figure out and cut out junk (mostly).
A lot of people in media have probably looked the other way to avoid pissing off their powerful bosses who are pedos and perverts and rapists. If the media demands a thorough investigation the top brass knows they'll get caught in the blast radius for being complicit.
They know where their paycheques are coming from

4chan was at its outset a reaction to the cliquishness of Something Awful. The mindset you describe only came about when 4chan evolved an identity of its own
Being apolitical gives an identity that appeals to the type of person who is extremely online but doesn't want to be perceived as the stereotype of the person who spends their days typing essays on message boards. They have, in their minds, ascended above the typical flame wars and shitflinging to dispense knowledge to the peasants. It's borderline narcissistic and addictive

on a completely unrelated note i bet a lot of music serves the social management role of making people feel empowered or listened to in order to mediate social relations in a non revolutionary fashion, or otherwise an essentially alcoholic function unrelated to the specific lyrical content of the song (much as the function of alcohol is irrelevant to it's flavour content.), which is again essentially to mitigate unhappiness in a unhappy society, not by actually making one happy but by essentially uplifting on a very short term basis. (what's interesting here is that the feeling triggered is an essentially irrational uplifting - like alcohol - not, say, the pleasure one may feel in finding a 1970s song about life being shit and feeling genuine recognition.)

people discredit how much the shitty kitsch of the 1920s and 30s was central to nazi aesthetics.
If hitler was alive today the blutfahne would probably be some variation of vomit-inducing vaporwave colour
Gabriel Morgan
yea people just remember that nazis had pretty cool uniforms and forget the rest
fascists all around had really fucking weird aesthetics otherwise, the british fascist union flag looks like a fucking superhero symbol and what the fuck were the italians thinking
Levi James
Also, the nazi führer himself had a rather shitty look, as well as Mussolini etc. As fas as "totalitarian" aesthetics go, I believe the way to go is the communist aesthetic where the high party leaders wear very simple tunic-type things, or mao suits, or whatever. They end up looking far more dignified when surrounded by more flashy clothing, when their special feature is their simplicity, rather than either being too decorated or just looking the same as everyone else. Stalins coats were cool.
They're the great leader, they don't need much decoration or fancy suits.

NBC fired Sam Seder because the alt-right mass reported a twitter joke from 8 years ago about Roman Polanski. Something something free speech something something.
Jose Rogers
real talk futurism is cool plus it's kosher since actual fascists would probably call it jewish postmodernism now.
tbh should really get around to reading about italian fascism in more depth, there's a kernel of fascination there for me. (since Hitler can sort of be seen in the frame of rampant opportunism + a bit of racism, whereas Italian fascism actually seems like a real ideology on a par with any other, at least before Hitler stole their thunder.)
Angel Jenkins

Ryder Cruz

Mason Watson
This ain't reactionary, really, but it seems an uncommon belief among radical leftists: Gender inequality, racism, various kinds of other discriminations can probably be solved under capitalism with enough time and enthusiasm. It might be easier under a proper socialism, but I see no reason why porky would forcibly retain those things, plus those problems have already gotten a lot better.
Capitalism isn't a bigoted God or anything, it is more like one of those Lovecraftian monsters that don't really give a shit.

Treating mental illnesses under capitalism is an exercise in futility when it's not a shitshow, because economic security is STILL the best treatment for mental health there can possibly be. Makes women cum twice as often, too. It's science.
Aiden Hernandez
i still have the (fascistic?) fantasy where the proletariat and the aristocracy team up to kick the shit out of the bourgeoisie.

Are you implying trans people are caused by capitalism that is some old school soviet propaganda.
Jose Scott
No. But there are more "transsexuals" than there ought to be, and the number is increasing, and stories of regret after gender reassignment are spreading. Alienation under capitalism. Powerful stuff.

Fair enough, but how do you know that it is alienation and not heavy sexual confusion I'm trans and I definitely see people who probably arent trans identify as genderqueer or something.

Conjecture. But it's not a stretch to see exacerbating trends as being linked to other exacerbating trends, like increasing consumption of anti-anxiety medication and opioids, violent crime, civil unrest and growing interest in increasingly radical politics.
It's like comrade's Belyayev fox experiment youtube.com/watch?v=0jFGNQScRNY There is one root cause, and everything else is a cascade of consequences.

this is just something for comfortable middle-class straight/cis white girls to assume so they can participate in identity victimhood fashion that they would otherwise not be permitted to participate in and for straight/cis white boys to assume in order to deal with the self-loathing that accompanies internalising progressive liberal narratives about their own identities. It's a social relief valve for ultrawoke college kids.

Its more that people are limited by gender/social norms so instead of trying to shrug off their worst aspects they become part of a new one that protects some flexibility. Like idealistically, no matter how actually substantiated queer or gender theory was in these terms, they should not have been necessary for the public to know them. Like if a guy tried to be cute normally and failed people would go 'what the fuck are you doing' but if you declare yourself gender queer or whatever and then you try people will go 'oh he's trying and hasn't gotten there yet', you get a lot more leniency in trying a lot of different things and its not even like people tolerate you, but you become the weird guy, instead you're forced into normalcy from pc culture. In any case I don't really think that people become particularly less self loathing when they become gender queer.

Jack Gomez
And I suppose interracial porn is just popular because the jews push it onto us too. You got things backward, capitalist culture produces such things because there is a market for it. If there wasn't anyone that liked ass, interracial or whatever new type of D E G E N E R A C Y you complain about next week no one would consume those products and anyone creating the product would go out of business.

John Rivera
capitalist culture does know how to create demand though
people don't just instantly go "oh damn I want to see some fat implant ass", they see it in the media and then maybe realize they like it (or just come to like it if they, for example, just see nicki minaj butts on MTV when they're 12 and jerking off for the first time)
the music industry is really fucking machinated, the big record labels decide what gets pushed and since music-related subculture is a big thing, there's probably plenty of influence to be used there

Do you really think when so called "body positivists" say the current culture pushes an unrealistic standard of beauty they are not talking about the people you mention as well? Having a nice ass doesn't mean you weigh 300 pounds like these people complaining are. The reason I included the interracial porn comparison is because you are using the same brain dead reasoning as they do. That clip isn't even comparable to what we are talking about. It would be if you were to argue that pop culture magazines and television produces an unrealistic beauty standard that most women can never meet and then sell the solution to the problem that they've created by running ads for bogus weight loss pills and makeup. You are arguing that unnatural beauty standards are produced by our culture so people can continue to be unhealthy. But this doesn't involve the capitalist selling a new solution for a new problem they have created, just people continuing to be as unhealthy as they already were.
It's not as simple as them creating the entire demand themselves either though. They certainly reinforce the beauty standard they produce by promoting it but it wasn't totally artificially created either.

Multiculturalism and nationalism are both cancer, leftists should be in support of criticizing the practices of every culture and moving to a world with an overarching non-capitalist universal culture with subcultures based on personality, interests, location and profession (like on the internet) rather than religion, heritage, and nationality. If you somehow think that people won't be unique enough without the tradition of their ancestors you have 0 faith in people.

You have to squat to get ass you retard. There's a reason pic related is liked for booty and not some 300 pound fat slob. I don't have an anime girl smug enough for this.
Why does the creator think that culture, identity and heritage are things that should remain frozen and inaccessible to those not born into them? Why does the creator instantly assume that all changing cultures will inevitably converge into one uniform megaculture, instead of local cultures taking bits and pieces of other cultures and refashioning them to fit local customs and desires? Why does the KKK grandpa get angrier after he cleans and arranges his racism room? Why aren't we talking about Kiniro Mosaic, the one true globalist anime?

Not so strange if you point to the other reasons in your post as to why tbh. A number of reasons you can point to: information is created faster and faster, but not new information; the internet has facilitated the regurgitation of the past not only by the big men (corporations and so on) but also by artists and common people in a decentralized manner, our past (now regurgitated into commodities) comforts us and serves to guide and define us in a present where our future has been demolished, and it's the safe choice in the "cultural market" anyways.
On a random tangent, could you consider memes a digital commodity?
Why? I think there's enough historical basis to point towards gender being based more on forms of social organization than man is strong, woman weak and give birth, therefore man do hard work and woman do children and so on and so on. There's a possibility that back in so-called "primitive communism" there were either matriarchal societies or gender equal ones, too, but don't quote me on that

Elijah Adams
I've decided to do my PhD thesis on Marx's intellectual debt to Stirner, de Sade, Darwin, Hess and Feuerbach.
That it was made by a Holla Forums type who doesn't understand national management. Beyond that I must admit in many ways to being inclined towards supporting it's view, although it ignores the role of capitalism in deterritorializing places. If you truly want a world of nationalism, you're going to have to have British people driving British cars. (Nothing makes me livid more than that fucking German designed train that everyone uses now, based in the ICE3. Railways were for long enough a holdout of national-level designs.)
The racial/migrant focus is completely misleading. Much more important is a question of culture (which can be poisoned by Americans without them ever immigrating) and of national economic policies. (i.e. decisions to build locally, with the resulting "national image" appearing in engineering - i.e. British cars and American cars of the 1970s have distinct looks, despite the laws of aerodynamics being the same.)
An African born unionised railway engineer who likes Yes Prime Minister is more British than Sargon.
To be fair in the internet age, you do tend to get an Americanised sludge when people come together.
Of course that's not to argue entirely in favour of the image. In essence I'd argue for a form of state-lead cultural engineering to prevent such an occurrence. (In essence, the revenge of the concentrated spectacle.)

The very evocative imagery employed on this medal, with it's crude caricature of the French colonial soldier and it's allusion to rape and sexual violence is one of Goetz's most graphic. Under the terms of the Armistice following the end of World War I the western allied powers occupied the Rhineland. Many of the troops garrisoned there were colonial troops from France's colonial empire in Africa. German indignation at the occupation was further exasperated by the presence of these black troops on German territory. Rumors quickly spread that these troops were committing rape, mutilation and murder against the local population and most particularly German women. These accusations were false and were for the most part the creation of the German press and local prejudices. Some German women did however marry French African soldiers, the product of their unions being labeled the "Rhineland Bastards", their very existence adding further shame in eyes of some Germans to their defeat and occupation. Specifically referred to by Hitler in Mein Kampf, the mixed race children of these unions were arrested and sterilized as adults when the Nuremberg race laws were introduced in 1935.

The right hand side is the natural result of global capitalism and the globalizing force capital exerts as it searches for new areas to reproduce itself at a higher rate of profit. The left hand side, meanwhile, contains some unstated assumptions. Note how the level of technology for example, the development in various ares, is significantly less than it would be on the right hand side. It will not do to condemn swaths of the world to backwardness just so the old boomer tourist can have an authentic experience.

Okay, but I don't really see why that's a bad thing. For one it's still not uniform - cultural imports still need to conform to local realities - but what's the alternative? Here in Canada you have state censorship in the form of French signage and language laws in Quebec to actually do anything like this, and the country is still slowly anglicizing. This usually winds up devolving into idpol garbage though, especially up here. A lot of the money handed out through grant programs for arts and culture are carefully parceled out to satisfy every interest group and minority. Fixed Saved and bookmarked

I mean, I'll be blunt: It's because I make the subjective judgement that American culture is shit. Although there's also that irritation at the convergence. America having a specific "American Culture" that hasn't spread elsewhere isn't that irritating and can sort of be respected. It's just particularly irritating to see it spread elsewhere. (I want to say particularly to Britain, Australia and New Zealand but that may just be being British. One could I suppose argue it has less "right" to spread to non-English-speaking nations.) There's of course the interesting case of Japan which is Ameriboo as all hell while altering things to be completely alien, but I hesitate to say that's a working model for everyone else.
I think there's an interesting situation where it might be argued some idpol is necessary, albeit only if people can believe in it. I don't know about elsewhere, but I'd say around say the 1970s-80s there was a subtle, unmentioned cultural cringe to being British because we were materially less well off than Americans. (Partially cribbed from k-punk.org/british-comic-blues/ ) While we would overtly say that anything we made is better than American rubbish (Is there perhaps some internalized cringe that I prefer the flow of "American trash?") history tells much of the story. A little bit of genuine belief in the idea that anything America can do, everyone else can do just as well if not better would be nice. How we conjure it is quite another question. (Perhaps a slight echo of "America must be the teacher of democracy, not the advertiser of the consumer society. It is unrealistic for the rest of the world to reach the American living standard" from Mr. Pizza Hut, although I'd argue America also makes an awful teacher of democracy [Parliamentarianism > Presidentialism] and that in most meaningful terms Europe can match America. a very subtle anti-car statement there) In the internet age, it's a particularly difficult task outside the real of novel theory - in the days of 4 channel television broadcasting, you could still imagine the benevolence of the BBC stepping in and managing things so that people are given a dose of what they ought to have rather than the American product they would choose themselves if given a YouTube search page and a mouse. (Although how I rectify everything I just said with a mental association between the BBC and the good episodes of the Simpsons, I don't know. Perhaps particularly good American culture should be granted import, as any non-English media of particular quality is granted translation?)
On the specific case of Quebec my outsider perspective is that despite the language laws, etc, Canada as a whole doesn't really "believe" in bilingualism and views the whole thing as an oddity and hassle. (Save for Quebecois nationalists, who as far as I know aren't in a particularly strong position compared to say 1995.)

If US Net Neutrality gets killed, won't this create a sort of price hike in the States, but meanwhile Canada has its NN enshrined in its Charter, meaning that it cannot be repealed, so Canadian prices will drop and Canadian internet provides, Bell and Telus which are already creeping into the US market, will do better, so will removing NN actually kill the US internet providers?

But it's not that they don't want your money, its that they'll get even more money but charging less because they'll get quantity over quality in terms of people paying for their internet, like what TD did after 2008 and expanded into New York, sure they COULD charge us $50 now, or they could charge 3 Americans $30 for the same shit, they're still making more money, just smarter. And they can afford to go cheaper since the Canadian Government keeps a loose leash and regulations on them, so it would be safer to give those Americans the same stuff at the same price, they don't even have to change anything in the package, the FCC created the market for NN internet providers and Canada's got them, Supply/Demand in a very stupid nutshell

That's something that never sat well with me. How come a dystopia gets to have awesome technology? If anything, it should have shitty tech.
Robert Brown
It's to differentiate the world from our own. That comfortable distance makes us think things really aren't that bad. Black Mirror in some episodes is the closest to cyberunk dystopia without too much gadgets, but even they have shit like recording contacts or animated real dolls.
Reading cyberpunk stories about a plucky band of hip rebels fighting to free a society with buggy, malfunctioning and kinda shitty tech isn't that readable tbh It doesn't even have to be over the top, just enough cool gadgets that are in the realm of possibility like in Deus Ex.
Conversely, that short difference makes actual revolt within our world seem feasible. Cyberpunk used to be exclusively anticapitalist before it got hijacked by NRx types
Christian Mitchell
That's part of why I believe cyberpunk has gotten more fantastical in many ways. I'd also say the decline in any post-revolution fiction and replacement with dystopia or apocalypse is a reflection of the left's general feeling of defeat. Those fags fuck up everything they touch.

Honest attempt at an answer: Women's gender roles and issues tend to revolve around questions of identity. Because of this, women will gravitate more towards platforms that allow a greater expression of identity, through accounts, userpages, the formation of social circles and so on. This likewise signals reputation and identity-building as a feminine trait in online communities, and men will gravitate towards communities that inhibit it. Such as anonymous image boards, but also parts of twitter, reddit and youtube.
Of course, I'm not discussing whether or not these gender roles are artificial constructs or that they stem from sex.

I'm not very smart but I'll try to give my explanation, I am also very tired so it'll probably be a stupid ramble but whatyever
You know, there's that stupid old misogynistic joke picture where there's a man posting a picture of a thing, and then a woman posting a picture of herself with the thing - there might a seed of truth to that. But the truth isn't "females want attention and are all about their identity lmao", its just that the typical feminine and masculine identities are built different. Men do it through doing or owning or consuming things, women through more direct self-expression/decorating themselves w/ it. So, stereotypically the weeaboo man collects merchandise and talks to fellow hobbyists on a forum, while the weeaboo woman makes anime-style drawings and cosplays. The man consumes and judges, the woman decorates herself. But both of them serve the function of identity-building. So, kinda, the male identity is a full subject looking at the world around him and acting on it, even detached from it, while the female is partly objectified, made to be looked at, existing not only for itself but for others to see as well.
Thus: the imageboard or forum fits masculine identity-building better, while the social media fits the feminine identity-building better. My identity isn't what I am, it is what I do or have, while the stereotypical female identity needs a gaze to prove itself.
This is obviously all social constructs and not universal, rather a generalization. It probably relates somehow to how women are treated/raised differently from men.

I think a lot about that as well. As far as I can see, this desire for a gf (as well as simply being popular and appreciated and such) might stem from 3 sources. One is external; the social pressure, like you said. One is internal: your own expectations about yourself, and as much as you might not care for social pressure, you still feel like shit for not measuring up to the vast majority of mankind. The last reason is you: an inherent desire to seek not only companionship but pair-bonding.
Honestly, that too goes against the point, simply because we are living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Ultimately, it's just our reality plus cool tech we won't live to see, and eve if we did, Porky wouldn't let people have things that could so easily be used against him anyway. LSC is a step down from cyberpunk dystopia. We don't have fancy cyberprosthetics and shit yet, but you will live to see recording contacts and animated real dolls. And now that you bring up, Black Mirror really is the best cyberpunk yet.
Now that is worrying, and I hadn't thought about it. They're commodiying our existential and material misery, adding cool gadgets and selling back to us as fiction, and we don't realize it isn't. Porky always wins.
I guess A E S T H E T I C S sort of count as part of the cool tech we're missing.

It really depends on you. If you have good language ear and use it accompanied by a dictionary and a grammar pdf or something it is a decent/good introduction to the basics as long as you remember to analyze every sentence, ask yourself why it translates the way it does. Also remember to move beyond it soon enough. If you have a harder time learning langues, it is at best a supplement. Out of curiosity, what language do you wanna learn, and why?

And yeah, It's partially a race thing too because I can't fucking stand african american accent. I tried grime too, but that's just fucking embarassing. Brit accent is good when you are in pubs, but nowhere else. Fucking /mu/ told me too try hopsin too because "it's more white friendly", but it was the fucking worse of the bunch.

Matthew 5:3-12 King James Version (KJV) '' Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. '' Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. '' Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. '' Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. '' Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. '' Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. '' Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. '' Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. '' Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. '' Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Murdoch fans are fucking creepy, the show's mascot is some wojak prostitute girl and the threads are 30% "I'm trad but I'd totally creampie the feels qt"
Most ancaps and fascists are the quintessential failsons in that they benefit from the material wealth of their parents but they can't/won't try to accumulate the bullshit social capital needed to function in atomized neoliberal society. So nobody talks to them, and they grow resentful of the normies.
Reactionary ideology is incredibly attractive to people who are stuck in this situation. It gives them a simple, ready-made identity that: A) Finds a simple collection of enemies and scapegoats to blame for the problems caused by the system fucking them B) Tells them that were it not for these enemies they would be living on the apex of society, but that socialists, jews, etc. have stolen their rightful place in the world C) Gives them an identity to assume which restores confidence via admission to this secret clique of leaders-in-waiting who when the time is right, will dethrone the enemy and restore society with them at the top
If you're a 17 year-old who spends lunch in the computer lab reading slashdot because chad or jamal keeps throwing milk boxes at you in the cafeteria, becoming aut-right or objectivist is therapeutic.

Don't force theory down their throats. Just subtly drop little tidbits of information here and there every four or five days. A bank forecloses on a gay club or a shelter for trans youth? Post that article. Question why many in the community obsess about having the token approval of cops and megacorps. Never go out of your way to reveal your full power level. Add those tiny little irritating grains of sand, they'll yield pearls after months and years of effort. And be a competent admin while doing so.

That's a nice analogy for the Russian Revolution too. You fight Porky with shitty tech (tachankas weren't exactly cutting edge), and for your troubles, you inherit the Earth Porky has ruined rather than lose: a massive, internationally isolated frozen wasteland ruined by war and a collapsed economy, a prize so bad it causes you to have strokes from the sheer stress and croak. Now that is real cyberpunk

I was writing about how Muke's brand of ultraleftism is typical for college leftists, and how many things they criticize about anarchists and MLs such as larping and identity formation is something they are guilty of themselves, just in a more subtle, stylistic way. Like how the people at r/leftcommunism use German expressions for simple terms, write Kommunist instead of communist, write everything in italic like the real movement, etc. and more gullible people like Muke are impressed by the lingo and the writing style.
Nathan Kelly
Further proof only newfags hate muke
Camden Edwards
So your argument against LARPing is 'y-you too'?
Lucas Gomez
The issue is that the larping they complain about extends to anything outside of reading in an armchair. Larping on the left is an issue, but the solution isn't to suspend all activity and let the forces of reaction, who are bound to have significantly more resources from their bourgeois patrons, run unimpeded.
Aiden Richardson
a problem on the left is a comprehensive fear of action much is made of engaging in activity, of course, but in all forms this represents a fear of actual action, particularly because such action is hard to gauge in advance. there is a comfort of sorts in impotence. indeed, i must say myself that my initial subconscious reaction to the idea that through some mechanism or another i was having a political impact would quite probably be horror, for it implies complicity. you did this is just as often an accusation as a compliment.
much easier, much better to develop a comprehensive theory of the ideal action than to act, or to engage in activities that have past demonstration of harmlessness to the existing power structure.

Dylan James
How do y'all define class to normies? In a lot of places I find "intersectional feminism" and liberalism, among other things, have perverted the notion of "class" to a degree where it is often seen as merely a privilege held by some; this often derails the discourse to "poor vs middle class", which is unproductive as heck. It soon gets to the point where some poor people are nonetheless "culturally middle class" due to education or their parents reading to them when they were kids and thus privileged and jesus christ that shit is awful, it becomes pure privilege-checking rather than about socio-economical status
So to combat this, I tend to use a simplified system instead of talking about the means of production: Porky = people who own enough that they don't need to work or rely on social security to sustain themselves, however they obviously may work anyway The working class = everyone else, inside this class you can find people who are well off and people who aren't (the poor or the middle class, etc). Some of them may very well be totally allied w/ the porky class.

I guess it depends on where you live. But our media is pushing "class" - in the sense of "middle class, upper class, etc" very damn heavily, so people tend to have unproductive ideas. If I talk about class, they assume that I'm in with the columnists talking about "richplaining" and "ohhh how privileged we academically trained are!" Richplaining, for the record, means middle or upper class people giving advice to the poor.

hot take: AI won't kill art because they can only make it based on what already exists, and not only that, but what they can "create" tends to serve no real purpose aside from novelty because they aren't human beings existing in non-virtual societies, they don't demand recognition nor compensation for their work therefore real innovation will always come from humans i guess this debate comes down to whenever you believe in the laplace demon or not

Assuming that there isn`t a very long-term pattern to schools of art, you can add random number generators to add new elements, whether it's small details or whole new aesthetics. Obviously, the vast majority of these new "schools" will be shit, but the same is true of real art, isn't it?

Now that's interesting actually, I tried to crack another site's watermark a while ago. Got really damn close, but apparently all they needed to do to defeat me was add a small variation to how much the colors of watermark pixel deviates when the watermark is applied. Still managed to clean almost entire files tho, I give myself a 7/10.

Why would a socialist state ban your book, movie, or painting though?

Oh, I appreciate it's a different sort of humour - it's just they're in the same genre to a certain degree. Ridiculous statements juxtaposed with the profile images of the people making the statement. Obviously it being furry adds a huge degree of additional context, while the main humour of the pets is imagining the animals themselves are racist.
imagine if every kid who wanted to be a doctor became a doctor tho
*goes to actually read the thing i posted because i just saw furries and libertarians and knew that was enough to warrant inclusion* I believe so, although strictly speaking article #1 only requires you to try, it doesn't say you have to try hard.
So I guess it comes down to whether the mouse has better lawyers than you, just like everything else in the court of the ancap king.
At first I just thought this was a stupid historical analogy but that shoehorn is so desperate as to constitute an attack on the innocent manufacturers of actual physical shoehorns. I'd forgotten that General Franco was a fictional character created entirely so that Holla Forums users had a source of rule34. Also shouldn't Franco kind of sort of be pretending to be a good innocent leftist while someone else takes charge, only to be wheeled out to say "Acsually it's about wanting a redder flag" when someone points out what the fascists are actually doing?
I'm putting more thought into this than the guy who wrote it. (Who if my blurterpritation is right, is also a furry and slash or brony.)

Although to be fair, a lot of former GGers do indeed grumble about lootboxes and microtransactions. Unlike with GG though, they've done nothing except gripe. The great gamer movement didn't even really bother to mobilize, they just rolled over and accepted that they can't actually do anything about it. It's almost like reactionary movements have no interest in confronting capital!

NIGHTMARE thought: Increasing automation will indeed alter the balance of labour in society as it has done in past, but since even service industry jobs are being automated there remains only one final frontier where humans can beat machines hands down: Being human.
Imagine a world in which the primary source of employment is being a friend for hire, a world in which the implications of the phrase "human capital" are truly realized. a world in which you and your personal brand are everything, and in which you sell yourself like an emotional prostitute to the special few with the wealth to dote on others.
If this arises I will make it my aspiration to bring my personal brand to stratospheric recognition with the most spectacular mixed fireworks display and suicide the world has ever seen.

My fellow rose, have you considered the idea that full automation might make private ownership untenable? People would see the necessity of widespread nationalization of automating technology.

As someone with a full decade of academia in my life I'm fully confident in saying that (especially in many of the humanities) academia actively stunts your mental growth. You develop certain pathologies. Your work is insufficient unless affirmed by your peers, who often have perverse incentives in tearing you down. Your work/life balance is destroyed, since even when not working you're penalized by not networking, researching or drafting new ideas in your free time. You learn to compare your own goals to the achievements of others. The good study habits you enslave you to an agenda, timetable, or whatever you need to keep you from losing track of the six different projects you are juggling. Physical health and diet tends to get stuck on the back burner as you eat greasy canteen food and drink gallons of coffee to save time. And you get so caught up in your short-term academic progress that you lose all track of long-term personal development. You often work for months or years towards a degree without a clear idea of what you're going to do after you get that degree. The fear of disappointing those that helped you in academia keeps you from bailing out and taking a radically different choice - what will people think of you when you spend four plus years in the ivory tower only to get a job in some warehouse or farm field, despite how you personally feel working said job?
I remind myself that the current president of the United States eats 2 big macs and 2 filet o' fish sandwiches for breakfast, and almost half of the country saw fit to anoint him the saviour of the USA. And that's not even talking about the cabinet of dipshits and soulless vampires he appointed. I think that gives me the licence to actually do what the fuck I want with my life.
And even if all of that is no good, I still take comfort in the fact that my continued existence is an inexcusable offence to every aut-right shithead out there.
Nice choice in rabu raifus. Hope that helps…
Zachary Evans
I've gone through the same thing, I even ended up dropping out of university because I just couldn't take the bullshit anymore. Ended up being depressed over my decision because it seemed selfish to my parents. Then I found Stirner, the best self help book I could ever ask for. I haven't felt depression or anxiety ever since and it used to be a common thing for me.

He used to be a garden variety semi-woke conspiracy guy. Then I guess he found out you could make a lot more money being a partisan snake and dumped all of his old ideas about auditing the Fed or criticizing the two-party system.
I'm not knocking the choices of people who go through and get their degree, but a lot of the ideals surrounding academia is ideology in the slovenian sniff man's sense of the word. Uni almost becomes your life and you can't see yourself doing anything that your degree specifically didn't prepare you for. Meanwhile, there's blue collar jobs out there that pay more than most entry-level white-collar internships.

Easy brother. If you deal with bouts of depression it's easy to get your momentum derailed for days on end. Hard to chill out when everything in the world is telling you that there's no point anymore. Have you tried starting with mediocre romantic/erotic short stories? I'd also suggest ERP groups, but finding a non-cancerous group is painfully hard. If all else fails, just writing a 250 word journal entry can help with exercising your writing muscles. Like working out, you'll eventually just get used to sitting down and writing for half an hour. From there, you can begin work on an outline of your novel and using the outline to flesh out the gaps.

very nice actually Try to make a version that doesnt cover up the words n shit
Oliver Torres
are you this guy because by the way i really did save this image and i really am prepared to have it reposted if 8ch hasn't died yet although i can't actually really remember what the "i was right" criteria were. gamergate was stupid, really really stupid. the most merit it ever had was when there were Holla Forums threads created that were openly about annoying people for laughs.
there was no "good side" and "bad side" and it's only spooked ingroup preference that still has you seeing imageboard users and redditors as "Our side" because they decided it'd be fun to tweet at Kotaku weirdos.
incidentally this links into another thought I've increasingly been having Tumblr is actually the best internet-cultural object Yeah sure Tumblr has a really shit user interface and I don't actually use it except occasionally reading some crosslinked stuff, but culturally speaking despite the whole SJW thing Tumblr is actually a far less toxic and far more reliably entertaining place, not to mention one with much greater transferability. The kind of attitudes bred on Tumblr are far more relatable than those bred on imageboards, without the ugly reactionary tendencies, smug pride and even morality complex that comes about from Western imageboards bizarre genesis in American anime fans.
Indeed I'll go further: Tumblr along with Twitter to a lesser degree are the true heirs of "real internet culture" in terms of forums and the actual experience of the time. Imageboards are what edgy kids think the internet wild west period was about, not what it was actually about. Imageboard culture is dominated by the kind of people who think the most important speech-rights issue is the ability to be racist, rather than to say something interesting without fear of stepping on toes.
Back to the nature of humour. Tumblr is a sort of vaporwavey surrealist depression, imageboards are fashwave contrarian BPD. fuck imageboards.
nothing i just said should be read as saying fuck leftypol, leftypol and especially leftytrash are special and have an interesting and unique mix of what would seem to be normal-leaning, tumblr-leaning, reddit-leaning and imageboard-leaning people all of whom are wonderful except that mod who banned me once.
David Peterson
I'd suggest dropping the weed, unless it's helping you cope with the crushing stress of actual employment. Or you could quit your crushing image board addiction to free up some time. From one horny leftist to another, I hope you figure out something. The key to life is in finding the gaps between the danmaku bullets of real life.

fight me don't care it's true imageboards are like fascists and appropriate swathes of "internet culture" as "our thing" regardless of our actual role in their creation or development. even when imageboards initiate things, the pinnacle of the form is often attained elsewhere.
also i'm going to go even further: something awful probably has higher quality of posting in aggregate than 4chan. on a vulgar split, certainly in a post quantity split, 4chan has had far more bad years than good years while i'm going to assert (with no evidence because i visit SA like once a year while on a generalized archive binge) SA has already bottomed out at a consistent mediocre quality. 4chan however continues to go lower. also every Holla Forums type post is worth -18e6169086219863836815630868368698762 good posts.

Oh boy, digital media analysis! Just shoot that shit into my veins Generally speaking I would chalk this up to the one function Tumblr excels at: filtering. Tumblr is almost purpose-built for selecting content you want and avoiding content that you don't like or is pure garbage. Unlike with larger, open-air forums where you have many different people converging onto the one discussion, Tumblr discussions are more of a highlight reel of the things you love the most. Just as Tumblr's filtering mechanisms promote the construction of personal feeds transmitting little unwanted content, they also inevitably build networks of people who, through your shared interests, are much more likely to affirm each other's opinions and engage in good faith discussion. People who are disruptive are quickly filtered out, further reducing the opportunities for in-group drama. God, I remember old-school php bulletin boards. They were just as prone to drama, since even for small-time niche forums admins had to manually filter disruptive individuals. On large forums this was basically impossible. I would argue that Tumblr is more a successor to old-school geocities webrings, since there were more barriers preventing any asshole skiddie from causing a ruckus and the focus usually wasn't on dialogue but on the production of fan content. I've read somewhere (in some neolib magazine, of all places) that Tumblr humour can be described as "the stupid notes you'd pass between your dweeby friends in science class, shared across the globe" and it fits Futaba-model image boards are born to promote contrarian, attention-seeking behaviour once they hit a minimum user population. Discussion becomes so fast that the only way to get people to respond to you is by spouting polarizing one-liners. The lack of permanent accounts and the difficulty in building a reputation with a tripcode in a large anonymous community (we're talking Holla Forums, Holla Forums sizes) means that any mistakes you make will be forgotten, removing any further barriers towards hijacking quality discussions for those precious (You)s.
I remember three good Laissez's Fair threads. The rest was the most cliquish, smug circlejerk I've ever lurked in.

Christian Allen
don't actually know very much about tumblr, when i refer to tumblr it's more in the form of the identifiable sense of when something is "tumblr", i.e. undertale is "tumblrtale" and probably would've been even without the lesbians. really the post is just exocrising some ghosts by saying that imageboards are shit out loud and therefore backing up feelings with (very soft) committed action. there is a secondary part where by framing it as i do, i can invite interesting replies with other people who're spurred to think by whatever i've rambled about, which then leads to interesting discussion more than direct argument. (which is why Holla Forums is so fun.)
perhaps a more fruitful avenue would be asking whether Holla Forums has influenced the views people here hold on imageboards in general. for various reasons i would say there's a specific nature of a thing going on here that just works.
an interesting point. (particularly in alignment with the shit UI thing I said, since you could presumably argue that the reason the UI is shit is that I want to use Tumblr like a typical "archival" site with a design like Deviantart or Furaffinity, while Tumblr is a "temporal" content site like Twitter. Your perfectly filtered content is for now not for reading 5 years later…) Also interesting, though I again have to draw on the fact it's unusual I would then pick up on this. (Because I don't have a Tumblr account or spend very much time on Tumblr, I just know a general attitude and certain content.) Although it still makes sense if you look at it in a kind of village sense. (i.e. i do not know anyone in this village, but the presence of a conflict-excluding atmosphere makes the village pleasurable to travel through.) You don't really get that kind of drama on imageboards though. By nature imageboards usually have to send people into foreign sites to raid, or to raid against a collective (i.e. when the mods were all from shit reddit says!!!) which makes it easy to subvert by pretending to be part of that collective. You do sort of with tripcode users, but since other people can be as cruel as they like without incurring moderation (unlike on a normal forum where telling a disruptive user to kill himself would usually still get you in trouble.) it's less of an issue. The webring consideration is interesting (and from a personal ideological perspective, reflects better on Tumblr.) though. I think when I'm comparing Tumblr to forums, it's again in the sense of having some kind of community. Maybe because it's still fandom linked in a way that reddit isn't. (i.e. a Tumblr profile may be entirely Zootopia stuff, and then people make a new one for Homestuck or whatever, while a Reddit account will post in /r/Zootopia and /r/Homestuck, but be one account with a user who hops across, and thus has less "community" involvement locked down to a single account/profile.)
Brandon Sanchez
I think this may be why I like it. If I dislike furries because they're the kind of loser I could fit in with, but don't (because they're reddit types), I like Tumblr because they're the kind of slightly-cooler-than-me probable-female who I still inexplicably talk to. Also in terms of being able to pull off having bad taste, these people generally do it better. (i.e. they might talk about something I don't care about or hold negative views on, but it will be interesting because of how they go about it and i'll politely hold my tongue without feeling under duress in doing so, while when reddit types are talking about Elon Musk there exists an appeal of the void to break all social rules and give them a stream of consciousness "stop dicksucking porky and fuck off back to reddit you insufferable losers.") the above should however be read in the context of the hermit who posted it. (who would rather be a total hermit than listen to reddit gang ever again.)
I'd also argue it's probably an element of things that people have some kind of permanent identity, which (contrary to imageboard kool-aid) doesn't seem that bad so long as you maintain the right to vanish (i.e. pseudonym not real name) and in some ways offers positives. (i.e. if someone's being contrarian you can quickly scan their profile)
On Futaba imageboards, I agree. The main thing I'd argue - and still do argue in a sense for 4chan is that it really needs 1984 tier moderation. People should be banned simply for making posts that aren't any good, if you actually want a quality website. While "quantity has a quality all of it's own" in terms of posts, the site has already to some degree ruined this by increasing post timers around the time they introduced 4chan passes. (which lowers the number of posts per thread and makes it harder to have a fun, anarchic shitposting thread because you're personally capped at 60 posts an hour.) Maybe part of the good thing of Leftypol is that shit posters tend to be banned on the basis of being nazis, although I still don't know if any of the ones I reported got banned.
bet this poster thinks IDs are a good idea and was glad when flags were gone.
Asher Cruz
That's why it was good
Nathaniel Rogers
Why would you think that people who dislike trips would be for IDs? They both make the system pseudonymous rather than anonymous.
Samuel Cooper
originally my list was going to include being pro forced-user which is also a shit policy, and preference for shit policies tends to run together, at least in my experience of arguing at length about that on 4chan. though in this thread in particular there's an interesting way forced IDs would make everything 100% pseudonymous, since we have recurring threads and 4chan doesn't really. (and the stupid defence for IDs is "well it only lasts for one thread!")
William Cruz

"assumptions don't matter so long as you get the right answer" t. milton friedman. of course i include the unwritten second part he forgot to write but was definitely thinking which is "so long as they agree with me ideologically." in the sense of being a single thread that deletes posts at the top as new posts come in at the bottom, no. (should have said cyclical. didn't remember what 8ch actually called it) They're technically new threads rather than one really long thread.

I am angry, ANGRY ABOUT POSTS
And I was a leftist all my life, and saw time and again other leftists ignore one of the rare events where something borne out of cuckchan was the Good Guys and instead side with liberal sociopaths.
Yep that's me, being correct. And there was a very, extremely, painfully clear bad side when the journalists, who were one immense Twitter circlejerk, clearly colluded to shamelessly lie their asses out about us. I really can't put it in more simple terms: the line was drawn very clearly, and GG had the undisputed moral high ground, period. Denying this is either partial ignorance of what was happening or trying to convince yourself your fuck-up didn't happen. And even after the alt-right control became irreversible and they kept shitting things up, it still had it, because liberals are just fucking awful human beings, with the current rash of male allies being outed as sex pests providing timely evidence. I can't really blame the right for being atavic morons, because it's in their nature after all, but there's something I can't really forgive my comrades for: giving the right a monopoly on the truth.
And now I'll have to disagree again, for reasons unrelated to the GG fracas.
We're talking about people who fetishize mental illnesses, made a cargo-cult leftism that is delegitimizing what little legitimacy we had left in America, and engage more often into harassment online and in real life by a huge margin than imageboards ever did.
Sorry, but no. Tumblr has worse debate (its very format is inimical to it), generates less or at least worse content, and undisputedly has the worse userbase. And no, I'm not saying this just out of chan4lyf pride or some shit I'm a forum man at heart, that is my honest appraisal. Tumblr, Reddit, Facebook and especially Twitter are all worse social and debate platforms than older ones, altho I reckon Tumblr at least has some potential for memesmithing.
For fuck's sake man, you just described SJWs as well. They're culture vultures, trailblazers finding new demographics for Porky to squeeze.
>"has", not "had" Sorry dude but you sort of exposed your ignorance there.
LF was the best fucking thing SA ever had up until braindrain and admin sabotage fucked everything up at some point in 2009. It was the last spark of life in SA's corpse.

I really can't fathom your dedication to that corpse of a movement, man. Especially seeing it in clear cut "good versus bad" terms rather than at least watering it down to "The insufferable and the overpaid". It's slightly surreal. Glad you're still with us though.
I'll try to avoid dwelling on GG too long, but a thought: Who cares anyway? Paying for reviews is an accepted thing now. Hell, companies pay people to write wikipedia articles about them. What's the point in caring anymore when the topic is so stupid anyway? Get rid of paid ads, reviews, etc, games are still going to be shit. Games are shit as a factor of material conditions (the collapse of the mid-size developer, in part due to the increasing costs of developing on new technology), not cultural warfare. (Which seems a good place to end, because I got to say "material conditions.") sometimes the truth doesn't matter (this is the reason I haven't personally built up an accurate archive of gamergate to reflect my own experience of it starting as a very imageboard type movement with an element of for laughs and building into embarrassing activism with a negative effort-reward ratio.) tbh I'd argue imageboards do this too, they just have a different style to how they do it, one that disavows to some extent that they're doing it. I mean, I take the point that it happens but that honestly seems more like a quirk than something to be particularly bothered about. (Except perhaps in the more general sense where, by arguing for attitude reform, they undermine medical or political considerations.) far more widespread than Tumblr, with roots that can be traced to the pre-internet age in politically meaningful ways. (i.e. political parties introducing all women shortlists.) also, i would argue that the existence of Holla Forums is far more insufferable than SJWs if we narrow them down to the internet-normie phenomenon (i.e. excluding social justice things that would plausibly have arisen in parties anyway through "real" movements.) as well as a far less justifiable one. (you can at least argue that SJWs have their hearts in the right place and are just hugely misguided.) Eh, imageboards have a specific smug sanctimoniousness about it. The SJW archetype at least intertwine it openly in a way that's consistent. Also I fully confess to thinking here "At least some Holla Forums types must get caught in that harassment, so I critically support…"
This sounds great, might make an account after all… But seriously, the argumentative approach imageboards breed is shit. I'll spare a long tangent but this love of "argument" is becoming increasingly grating - I think there's something to how regularly it crops up. You make a tangential point and someone will reply "Not an argument" - our demographic love arguing. There's some room for psychoanalysis here. I'll stick to bad analogies though: Imageboards are an American type society where they should be a nordic type society. They breed competition instead of solidarity, in aggregate. wouldn't be so sure about this either. Tumblr has a lot of "quality" content that you simply don't get reliably on imageboards like archives of historical posters (and if you do get a thread on an imageboard, it 404s and goes to an unreliable archive.) and which is sorted even more awkwardly on Reddit. imageboard archives are the worst of all worlds too. you kill the emphemeral nature of imageboards which is part of what makes them special, but you don't actually store things reliably enough for them to be safe for you to share with others over the long term. (Without having a defined period like "after a year we delete.") will not stand for this. even if every single tumblr user was a corrupt gaming journalist SJW, they would be better than the children of Holla Forums
Xavier Young
most progressive logic memes are made by dumbass conservatives though.
Chase Allen
agreed entirely. need a restoration of personal websites and traditional forums.
eh not really, SJWs like to find things to object to in culture. They like to say "Ah, feminist hero comics aren't for us because they're trying to pander" where fascism might instead say "Ah, well we love feminist hero! come on girls let's be fascists!", although an interesting counterpoint here could be that SJWs breed something similar to imageboard contrarianism, but as a "genuinely held view" rather than ironic distance to generate replies. That's not to deny the very real capitalist element to it, just to look at the "natural" behaviours involved with the two groups, which are distinct. Although since alt-right LARPers aren't "real" fascists, they're sort of smudged in with a lot of SJW behaviours as well as ones with routes in real fascism. Thinking here of Franco plagiarizing blue uniforms from the working class, Hitler's tactful dancing around the NSDAP name (which iirc was done IRL, not just on posters), etc.
Perhaps we could say that Fascism aims to integrate politics with a given plagiarized aesthetic, while SJWs exist to create/re-enforce new identity markets? (Perhaps in a really stretched out way: Fascism is Branding, it builds familiarity. SJWs are advertising, they bring the product to new people…) don't see how, just because SA isn't the major thing it was doesn't mean it can't beat out 4chan which is an absolute shitshow. i don't even need to know much about SA to make that assertion: even if SA was entirely dead and only on the web archive, it'd beat out 4chan once you give appropriate negative weighting to Holla Forums posts.
Joseph Lopez
I guess I should qualify what I mean when I say "drama," since that might not be the best word to use in this situation. In terms of how (I think) you're using it, then yes anonymity does cut down on drama. However, I'd like to suggest that on anonymous image boards (or boards where identities aren't that important, such as Reddit) you still see drama in the form of longstanding grudge matches between groups - board rivalries, fandom hate, etc. It's really more comparable to European soccer riots where people that might otherwise be cordial to each other on the street (if they weren't wearing jerseys and such) get drunk and fight the opposing team in the stands. I find this just as disruptive, since (like with soccer) you eventually attract people who mostly belong to the fandom or board *just to* gripe about the crossboarders, homestuck fans, leftcoms/anarkiddies, etc. I could be wrong, but this seems like it contributes to the overall alienation of the user: he maintains compartmentalized identities and gets to choose whether to link them together. He doesn't interact with others as a person, instead he interacts with the Blend S fandom as a Hinata Kaho fan, he interacts with the Mercedes Benz fandom as an aspiring owner, and so on and so on. I think the difference between Reddit and Tumblr is more in that you really don't get to choose the size of the Reddit communities you join, you can only choose whether or not to join. So if you want to talk about anime, you can either jump into the massive r/Anime forum or find a more niche forum where its smaller population allows for more in-depth discussion between one or two people. On the large subreddits, it's a lot more likely someone will jump into your conversation and potentially derail it. 4chan (again, mostly in the large boards) suffers from the same problems of size affecting the types of conversations people can hold. Tumblr allows you to restrict your community to specific accounts and (in an indirect way) restrict the flow of content to a manageable level. I should note that I'm not really arguing for or against a specific website, though I do have opinions on the specific mechanics that they use.
Aaron Butler
These are pretty shit. Ali is only famous because of rightists abusing political correctness for their own ends, she's utterly clueless on most political or social topics.
Easton Diaz
Oh yeah, valid point. I've done this to some degree. (a long time ago.) On the one hand this is partially the case (in particular with the nature of the example.) but on the other it sort of works, especially if you contrast imageboards which must surely be the most alienating of all. Sometimes it's good to keep your involvement with specific communities segregated instead of trying to integrate everything into one identity. Certainly, it maintains the right to vanish quite cleanly which is nice. (I guess this in part a question of whether you view it as alienating, or liberating, to be able to walk away from your past/a community with little effort.) The problem is that what are now subreddits were once individual forums - so you'd have two identities (in the form of two accounts in two communities) but you'd use the same pseudonym for both. With Subreddits, you have some problems with it literally being the same account. (So you can, iirc, be banned from some subreddits simply for posting in another subreddit - something you could avoid with different forums by using a different email and pseudonym.) wasn't "reddit is good if you use a quiet subreddit" a meme for a while?
on an imageboard related note, i daresay Holla Forums hovers around the ideal size. it's still fast enough that a given thread can be fast, exciting and anarchic, but not yet fast enough to crowd things out.
Adam Robinson
In the same article I referenced, I remember reading that the Tumble demographic skews toward teenage girls aged 13-18. My theory about why Reddit posters are the way they are is that there are fewer penalties for being a pedantic, humourless piece of shit because of the site's nested replies feature. I think that nested replies removes much of the disincentive against typing long screeds. If you're into a big debate with someone, you can be sure that your reply will be in a place where the guy you're debating is likely to see it, no matter when he comes back to respond. However you probably don't have much else of an audience if the original post is several hours old. So you're both guaranteed that someone will read your post, but any effort you put in to make the post more compact/readable will go to waste. Youtube comments act much the same way, and you wind up seeing the same type of person there (although imo they're a degree dumber). Once a board is used to light moderation and develops a culture in line with that reality, introducing heavy enforcement somewhat shatters the feel of the board. You lose the kind of posters who benefit from light touch moderation to bend the rules a bit, and others will generally find the board's atmosphere to be more confining and unexciting. This typically results in people leaving, either in one big exodus or slowly as people get bored with the new board culture and drift off. This actually happened in 4/jp/. The board no longer has rampant NEET blogging or funposting, but to me the conversations themselves wound up less varied.

Maybe there'll be EU legislation and shit, as well, for us Euros.

Lucas Mitchell
That depends - if you keep the option open as a true exit of unfulfilling media consumerism or a community gone sour, then it absolutely is liberating. I've done clean wipes of both IRL and pseudonymous presences four or five times and it's comforting to know it's basically impossible for anyone to link my current activities to the utterly cringeworthy shit I did at 19. However, it's just as easy to trap yourself in a cycle of abandoning internet presences as a way of avoiding having to learn from your own anti-social or alienating behaviours and pathologies.
Without relitigating a moment in history I am both grateful to have witnessed and also cringe at my actual involvement, I just want to say that:

Widespread payola has debased most video games journalism to the point where a lot of people consider reviews to be native advertising. Sure, you can argue that this makes people more likely to form their own opinions on video games. However larger investigative stories require the resources and connections that can only be feasibly provided by a large journalistic institution. Hardware issues and labour conditions within the industry are two topics, off the top of my head, that a blogger would have more trouble trying to report on than a seasoned journalist backed by a team of researchers and sources. The abject awfulness of Holla Forums and Holla Forums is self-regulating, I would argue. They're so arrogant, obtuse, belligerent and incoherent that people are way less willing to tolerate them. Tumblr idpol is still bad, but I would argue that its overall impact (especially on the left) is worse than Holla Forums because it rarely manifests itself the same way Holla Forumsshit does. People on the left are more willing to give disruptive tumblrites the benefit of the doubt because their heart's in the right place. You're willing to assume that they're just inexperienced or overeager and will smarten up over time. This gives the idpol virus time and cover to slowly infect a community to the point where it controls a large part of what the group does. Time gets eaten up by call-outs, struggle sessions and privilege checking and by the time enough people have grown tired of it, trying to extract the virus is likely to split the whole group.
I doubt this would be a problem, since automation is mostly confined to western countries with high safety standards and labour prices. Why bother automating in Nigeria when your wageslaves cost pennies an hour?
Jack Allen
I don't know why I passed over this post. I like trips when they're used in a relatively small forum, especially in a forum with a(n ostensible) purpose other than banter. I find that since I've been posting under the one identity, there's a subtle pressure pushing me to avoid egging people on, posting one-line shitposts and memes, or submitting unedited posts full of errors.
Carter Hernandez
I don't mind bans that I'd also want to have in my socialist state. I don't want to legalize CP, for example. Plus I do understand that post-revolution, there needs to be some extra repression of counterrevolutionaries.

Is there any "socialist state" that haven't oppressed anarchists, ultras, and other "problematic" revolutionaries? "Extra repression of counterrevolutionaries" is often synonym with death for us.
I think he was arguing for "fake CP" (which I doubt would be legal in a ML state) but maybe I'm wrong.
Owen Powell
This I think is the best solution. No matter how much we try we will never be able to eliminate CP completely. With drawn or CGI CP none is getting hurt and we take away potential costumers from people that would take more direct approaches to create CP.
And therapy of course. TBH I believe you can "cure" pedophile as much as you can cure an homosexual, but the main job of therapy should be to allow the person to function normally in society, nothing more or you'll be just further destabilizing the subject, increasing the chances he'll do something horrible.
Austin Wilson
Anarchists are counterrevolutionaries who will sabotage the revolution because a state exists and will allow for the return of capitalism. A state is going to be necessary to reorder society and abolish the value form. We can't do that within the framework of no authority to manage it.
Brody Johnson
"Simulated CP" was only brought up after his post, though.
I'm relatively "libertarian" for an ML, so I would hope that only actual threats are repressed. Anarchists attacking the worker's state could be an actual threat. Communist dissidents should be allowed to voice their opinions, but not conspire against the party. I do also hope that erotic fiction wouldn't be banned, insofar as the production doesn't involve the abuse of actual people. I think "scientific socialism" should mean that our laws are based on knowledge, rather than conventional morality. Kinda what the early SU tried to do, with allowing homosexuals to be in important government jobs, legalizing abortion, etc.
Yeah the therapy should be like, a support for controlling their urges first and foremost. I am not sure whether actual pedos are that drawn to simulated CP, though. The whole pedophilia thing is a mess, a lot of actual abusers aren't even pedos, just violent/abusive in general.

Well we do what we can. It's that or jail (in the hypotetical society we are talking about). Yeah that's the unfortunate truth. You don't need to be a pedo to be a child abuser and not all pedos actually abuse children.
I actually used this guide to set up an experimental web server a few years back - I have a decent understanding of the Linux command line. Was thinking of switching my graphical OS at the time but was scared off by reports of bad battery life and drivers - is that still the case at all?
I guess this is what I'm looking for: 1) Good battery life 2) Reasonably modern looking interface, not command line core 3) Good tinfoil, anti surveillance features 4) Doesn't fuck up with potential interactions with other systems, file transfers, projector use, etc 5) Power Point? That's really the only nonfree program I haven't found a good alternative for.
Daniel Sanders
it really depends on your hardware sometimes you'll get even better battery life than under windows drivers are much less of a problem than they used to be, but with bad luck you might have something that won't work or will work poorly
It's an integrated graphics Thinkpad, from what I can remember that's about as good as you can get for Linux.
I'll have the time this winter break, so I'm tempted to try messing around with Arch - worth it for the customization or is it the kind of distro where you have to spend several hours on the wiki every time you plug it into a new printer?
Aaron Wright
yeah thinkpads are good, as long as you install a distro that includes non-free stuff (if not, your wi-fi probably won't work) I've never used arch but their documentation is very good and after the initial setup, any distro tends to work well enough for daily tasks

Gavin Wilson
there's no way Molyneux could be THAT stupid, right?
That Kant hated reason and wanted totalitarianism, and in the end all of this notion in German thinking was to preserve government jobs.
He later gives this analogy of a band, and because everyone is equal under communism no one should be the lead singer. And you know what, I can't even differentiate if it's just a really fucking shitty analogy built on ignorance or if he actually believes that that's one of the things communists are after.
Joshua Campbell
...
Logan Mitchell
I admitidly suck at philosophy but that's ridiculous. Kant was all about reason. isn't the most basic tenant of communism "from each according to his ability?" In a communist band the lead singer is whoever is most qualified. Plus that analogy only makes sense if you assume that the band has to have a designated leader and its not just people making music together cooperatively. Fuck, i'm thinking about this metaphor more than molyneux is.

Carter Roberts
Relatively neat but that's just never going to cut it in the art world.

Hunter Gutierrez
God fine, you got me, I unironically love this shit. So trips do have their place but I think you are 100% wrong about when to use them and what to use them for. Reading a lot of the arguments here I think most of you fags have really lost the distinction between pseudonymous and anonymous. The old joke about the super hacker anonymous was that there was literally one guy named anonymous that did all sorts of crazy shit. Anonymity wasn't just that there was no identifying the true names of individuals it was that there were no identifiable egos. Before shit like ids and unique poster counts posts could not be attributed to a person and a thread could be a dozen people or a single guy arguing with himself. Unlike most other sites nothing you said would bring you social capital positive or negative. You could earnestly argue for the most dark fucked up shit you could think of just to see where it would go and then a minute later switch to something else and it wouldn't follow you. There can be a very darksouls feel to anonymous imageboards, you die and you die and you die and everytime you come back as someone a little different. Things spread not because of who made them but because they work, forged and reforged by a hundred hands. It's a strange sort of game to play and a strange sort of person who enjoys it but it has its place. And in a time when ego and image are magnified and everything done follows you forever its a rare thing to a have a history-less and ego-less battlefield to play on.
It's of course good to have flexibility in the system and for time when its important to be able to identify an individual. Someone is posting pictures of something interesting, is the developer of a game etc. But trips are throwaway egos for pragmatic uses. People who use trips as a way to create a stable ego for themselves to accrue praise or social capital are the worst kind of everyday narcissist. You wouldn't put effort into your posts if you didn't have an identity that people would think better or worse of right? That's because you have no pride in what you do, everything you do is only real to you if it's acknowledged by others. Anonynimity works quite well for what it is, it does not work for you because you are a pathetic husk of a human being that lives a half-existence in the eyes of others.
tldr: trips are faggots
Matthew Hernandez
Yeah that's why I included that. good theory. Think it would be interesting to look in general at how user-interface design alters how people communicate. Have always felt like Twitter runs surprisingly close to a sort of decentralized chatroom due to it's format. Although I feel like my own tendency to run these things into double-posts acts in a slight way to demonstrate that imageboards have limited incentive against walls of text as well.
This is true but when it comes to a lot of 4chan, I'd go full pol pot. I mean, I genuinely advocate deleting Holla Forums - first because it's stupid, but more importantly just to demonstrate that the moderators can ban people for much longer than they can keep going "Pls give Holla Forums back ;-;"
The problem with heavy moderation, really, is that you need mods who themselves have a good feel for what makes a board good which is surprisingly hard. /jp/ seems for example like a slow board that could be damaged by an approach that doesn't just ban the insufferable, while something like Holla Forums is so fast that you really need shotgun bans. (this could be particularly useful if combined with low periods - i.e. for example you can't post for an hour if you make a shitty post, graduating up to proper bans.)
Easy way to escape this cycle: Stick exclusively to imageboards where no commitment is needed and nobody can tell how long you've been around. :^)
This has been the case since the 1980s, if not actively worse than it is now. (At least now, you don't usually get anything quite as outrageous as showing people the screenshots from an arcade cabinet game on the back of the box / in the review for a ZX Spectrum title.) Daresay this is a job for real journalists.
Think in large part there's a fascinating thing to be done with GG in terms of "actually lived experience" since I continue to reflect my own experience, and others who defend it doggedly undoubtedly do likewise. The thing is even at the time I held essentially the "why bother who cares" view I hold now, dismissive of this activism. A digital leftcom? Which has undoubtedly carried on. But as a result, you then have specific pieces of "actual experience" independent of the real reality - i.e. some people "didn't experience" harassment, while I have clear memory of interest being peaked by "oh boy, let's annoy somebody.", which was in the very earliest phases of gamergate. (i.e. before the move to Holla Forums even.), then of course you have the SJW experience, the experience of the world media and so on.
and here's where the fight for the truth becomes facile: there is no actual truth in this event. It's a big clusterfuck, it's like looking for the good guys in WW1. A bunch of stuff happened that was confusing and weird. Even after you document all the data points, you aren't going to be able to construct it into a truth like "Britain were the good guys." (though OBVIOUSLY the Russian Soviets were the good guys but they kind of dropped out of the war so…) They're still present though, since many websites don't have localized moderation or just don't care. i.e. YouTube, Twitter and even 4chan have a persistent problem with these people cropping up because the mods either aren't there to regulate discussion quality, or don't care to do so. Meanwhile SJWs at least don't seem to go around looking for trouble. This is true, but even then it's more like irritating and debilitating than insufferable. I guess one way of putting it would be that generally it's been possible to escape from Tumblr idpol by using leftypol, while Holla Forums still crops up here from time to time.
Did you ever see the feminist group who made a petition against games workshop and wrote articles about how it was sexist that there were no female space marines? That looks an awful lot like a belligerent group of people forcing there way into a group they aren't really a part of looking to cause trouble.
James Peterson
This totally broke down even before poster counts and IDs though. Now, your social capital is decided by your typing style, what words you use, and so on. You said lol instead of lel instead of kek instead of TOP KEK instead of JEJ? GO BACK TO REDDIT. Disinclined to believe this based on experience with forcing images into common use on 4chan and then tracking them in the archives.
However that builds into another point: People who talk about Anonymity so much also miss the point. The lack of history is equally important to the anonymity in terms of breeding a "true imageboard culture" - especially when history is only passed around as images, rather than concrete archives of threads. this sort of patchy social memory is much more interesting than the present perfect archives of everything. (This has some relevance to the stuff about society drowning in data that was discussed in this thread earlier, actually.) Theoretically, a pseudonymous forum with the same structure would be just as fine - a tripcode user from years ago could crop up and most people would treat them exactly as though they were new with no archive to prove their vintage. Indeed, I've exploited this presence of history on 4chan. Check the archival history of an image, find the filename… oh dear, it looks like our interlocutor has posted some pretty cringeworthy things!
That's not to mention that without consistent identities, people project themselves into boards. They start to think everyone agrees with them, and this is part of why Holla Forums is so corrosive: People from there go elsewhere, carrying that insane assumption, and then they act surprised when others disagree with them. Which leads into another interesting problem with anonymity. Consider this scenario: You are in a dark room. Everyone has been given a voice modulator. You are free to converse about anything, and nobody can tell who you are. A nice model of anonymous freedom, yes? We now introduce a monster - say Tony Blair - to the room. The atmosphere is immediately changed. Would it not be more comfortable to switch on the lights so you could ignore his suggestions? Is that person suggesting we start killing one another Tony, or someone else?! You just don't know anymore. Trust breaks down and the system is dead. You leave the room.
Once you start to think about what kinds of people you're actually replying to on an imageboard, the whole thing breaks down. No longer can you maintain the comfortable illusion that identity doesn't matter - and you'll just have to figure it out on fragmentary data points. The room is full of monsters (of an uninteresting, bad kind) and children. Who wants to talk to them?
Leftypol is different, and I think flags in part help with that because you can distinctly say "Ah yes, I am talking to an ideology" although there's the problem-slash-coincidence of flags sometimes becoming de-facto tripcodes with only a slight randomisation element.
Hudson Turner
No, I have a life. [BZZT] I have better things to do. [BZZT] I just don't care, there's no point in getting worked up about such trivial things. [BING] Refer them to the reply given in Arkell v. Pressdram and move on. It's a very different type of looking for trouble than Holla Forums retards cropping up on left wing twitter accounts to talk about Venezuela. Indeed regardless of the politics, even the laughable situation of petitions everyone ignores at least represents a type of action. The thing with Holla Forums is that it doesn't matter whether or not they believe in free muharkets and that Venezuela is socialism, all that matters is that they can get you into an argument. That's the obsession.
Actually that's grounds for another theory: Idiots who don't know how to troll have spiralled into becoming idiots who just love arguing with a trolls doublethink. (And thus miss that half the fun of trolling is leveraging limited effort on your part into huge effort on the part of the other person.) Holla Forums can thus adopt a heads-i-win tails-you-lose approach: If you argue with them and win, they won because they got you to argue at all. YHBT. If you argue with them and lose, they've proven you wrong.
Jacob Cox
But I mean yah your point might be correct if people were unable to judge or interact in any way unless they could know the identity of the person they're interacting with. Which given your obsession with unmasking anonymous people might describe you better than it describes the rest of humanity.
The emperor of mankind frowns upon you and your disrespect for the imperium heretic.
Chase Jenkins
ah yes your hypothetical disproves the empirical evidence that Holla Forums has poisoned the 4chan well. indeed, the facetious replies you have in example are a much better example of why fascism can prosper on imageboards, because it's much more able to pivot between dead seriousness and "Just a joke" than any leftist ideology ever will be, because at the end of the day if we make things worse and kill people we failed while fascists can, again, play it off much easier as having been justified and down to jewish subversion rather than personal mistakes.
We reduce judgement down to the most facetious and pointless of things. i.e. as noted, language use. Because you don't have any immediately available data to cross-reference, you have to make snap judgements on limited information. Someone uses the wrong words asking a question? Assume they're asking in bad faith and ban them / spam their thread / tell them to kill themselves. Someone uses the right words while steering people to ideological conclusions that run against the board's norms? Well, they still seem like one of us… I don't want to unmask anonymous people, I want to unmask anonymous subhuman children.
But nah, enjoy a relaxing discussion with fascists while pretending it's all fine because they're not talking about fascism in that particular thread, and when they do talk about fascism you can pretend it's just an aberration because your board isn't really like that, but a mirror of what you like…

You have a lot of anger in you friend and a lot of bitterness. Imageboard fascists aren't monsters, its often some guy who grew up out in the country with a lot of family problems and only the internet and his xbox to raise him. They like Kon!, they like shadbase, they've memorized the entire plot of the metal gear solid series. They probably didn't fit in real well with the skinhead country kids at their highschool but they'll front like that when they feel attacked because that's their reference point for tough. The nazi thing probably started for him mostly as a joke in response to how gamers are literally nazis and after enough crap about how white males have it easy and white males are the problem he started thinking damn. Maybe there is some conspiracy against white people. Imageboard fascist is a good kid, he loves his mom and tries to do what he can for his family and even the step-kids. Its a losing battle though and his dead end town is falling apart, there's no jobs worth a damn and half his class is just strung out on meth and welfare. He talks about getting out sometimes and making it on his own but he worries if he did mom's gonna relapse again.
There is literally nothing wrong with me talking to imageboard fascist about whose waifu is best. Clearly my waifu is best but I don't mind humoring him a bit.
Joseph Carter
Not sure I could actually be a public figure. I get anxious about people forming an opinion of me based on an online profile. If I had people judging me on everything I did in real life I'm not sure I could take it.
Angel Miller
No, I have contempt. I'm a very relaxed person. Contempt is not anger, but disgust. Plenty of people in these circumstances don't become insufferable, I'm not here to hug the ones who do. The problem isn't that they're monsters. Monsters are interesting. The problem with them is that they're insufferable, they're stupid. They make the same kind of snap judgements I do, but they do it wrong. They are immune to reason, but they say "I am right" over "I don't care", it's not even that they're bad so much as they're a pointless void. What "normies" are to imageboard users, imageboard using fascists are to me. The jury rests… :^)
But there is perhaps another serious point here. They are Americans, with fundamentally Americanized reference points. Even many of the British then wormed their way into truly fitting in by consuming the same media as other imageboard users. I never did that, and from that outside position I have all the more reason to view them with a sort of contempt: Politically, they are poison. In media terms, they are interchangeable. It's the "Obviously Reddit" problem all over again. I am with them, but not of them, and I'm not going to show solidarity on that basis. Then he's painfully stupid and worthy of no sympathy for going down that rabbit hole rather than synthesising an independent world view. There is no real structural justification here that lets you say "ah, this is fine" - you want to know how I'd word it? It's not because he's a good kid, it's because he's a little shit with the same in-group tendencies as the rest of normal human society. He couldn't bully anyone in school, but now he gets to raid Tumblr and trigger teenage girls, now he gets to post nasty things about other people that they'll never see on an imageboard where he'll never be accountable. He's not sympathetic, he's a cunt. And yes, I'm intentionally aware that I do these things. The fact I go trawling furaffinity to find pictures of stupid people to share elsewhere makes me a cunt, but I don't seek that sympathy. Not for those behaviours, I know what they are, I'm not going to be a hypocrite and pretend it's fighting some kind of good fight. (It can be, in that it has minor use in the "talking the right way" method to discredit arguments on imageboards, but this is tenuous.) feels dangerously projective. Also, I don't care about his family. See, here's another fundamental thing: You're asking me to feel sympathy for these people - why? The point of an imageboard is that you are worth what you post, if imageboard fascist isn't going to make good posts then for all I care he can die. many of these LARPers live in perfectly fine locations or grow up as the sheltered children of well-to-do families. don't try and give this a materialist justification. shame he didn't join the good part of his class
Shit opinions run together and these people are insufferable. I desire them no kindness, I wish only for them to disappear into the night. You realize all of a sudden: The guy I'm arguing with? He's not just stupid, he's a bastard and (a) a child or (b) an adult with the mind of a child, and why bother after that? And what do you actually get out of the discussion anyway? You pass the time, sure, but is the mouth-breather on the other end of this consumerist discussion actually raising anything interesting, or just blathering entropy? It's certainly rarely been my experience. Conversely, good opinions run together and Holla Forums with /leftytrash/ in particular has been one of the few enjoyable places left to just discuss stuff.
You see, that's another important thing: Imageboard arguments don't convince people. 99% of the time, people walk away without reconsidering views at all. That's the reason I throw out walls of text and simply declare myself right in all matters, even subjective: There's no point actually arguing. We can discuss, yes, but if things become a heated argument the simple reality is that I am the state.
Rather than quote the first paragraph in its entirety, I'm going to to link to a video that, in my opinion, shows the downside of this approach. The whole video is enlightening, but the section relevant to this conversation runs from 5:04 to 6:42: youtu.be/Hhx6IfKrvEQ?t=5m4s Like what was said in the video, there's little point to having the same conversations over and over if I don't really get to know people. By building up a stable identity I feel as if I'm more able to have disciplined conversations with other people here, rather than a constant stream of strangers.
We can afford to post these long screeds on Holla Forums because threads here don't progress at Holla Forums or Holla Forums speeds. In the time it took me to write this post, 8 new posts appeared under me. In Holla Forums it could be anywhere from 50 to 200 posts depending on the popularity of the subject. And who says there can't be "real" video game journalists? My point was that for most boards (with the willingness to actively moderate discussion) Holla Forums-style rage is a more easily detectable poison that people can quickly taste and then spit out. Tumblr-style idpol is more like lead in a water supply, where you can't really taste it and it doesn't originally hurt you that much but retards growth and brain development over time.
Most SJW campaigns can be more easily brushed off. They only grow more powerful when people buckle under the initial campaign surge.
I'd like to reference you to the video I've linked as well, particularly the argument where people seek to subsume themselves within a larger group identity. It actually explains why mass right-wing authoritarian/fascist movements became so popular on image boards: they are full of people who prefer to adopt a powerful collective identity, rather than build an individual identity to share with others within your various circles. People also realize that this system could easily be hijacked. Many namefags here don't use trips. In two hours I could be onanist socialist or afroplasm and start posting Asserist rhetoric.
To think I share a board with such filth…

Ryan Ortiz
user, you're kind of a stuck up prick. Like even if you were exactly as correct about everything and smart as you think you are you'd be an unpleasant person. I think you want everyone else to be as nasty as you are so you can feel righteous in being vengeful and nasty to other people. That way you can feel good about your own nastiness. Because hey, you're smart unlike the rest of the sheeple and will turn your evil urges to the cause of righteous justice. You're totally not just an angry bully.
I bet you didn't even like nichijou.
Gabriel Nguyen
You would be surprised how artificial the real (as in, based on people's assumed real lives) identities of many political millennials are. I'm convinced a lot of them are pod people. And I don't blame people, it's easier in many circles to just establish a fake you that likes all of the trendy things so you can converse with others and network and get jobs and eventually nominated as a state senator or county alderman.
I think it's good practice to give Holla Forumsyps and aut-right kids the initial benefit of the doubt. However, if they aren't interested in good faith debate - they aren't willing to engage with facts and arguments, they see debate as a performance to "win" and recruit others/own the libs - then they shouldn't be allowed to hijack your discussions and make you look as weak as the most ineffective neolib Blairite or Clintonite. I admit that I lean toward this viewpoint as a recent convert and former NRx shithead, but hey. SOME of us are worth saving, and converts tend to know the faults of reactionaries much better than people who have always been leftists.
K-On was a good anime, fight me
oh dear
Easy, save the venom for the opposition tbh Nichijou was hit or miss for me
Ryder Perez
I'd agree that getting all of your social interaction through anonymous imageboards is an unhealthy way to live but its just a site. Most people have other identities, through irl, pseudonymous sites, paying 10 dollarydoos, gaming groups etc. There's a million places you could build up a social identity, make connections, get to know people. I think its a good thing that we keep those places for attention whoring, and keep the imageboards for shitposting fun times. I get the urge to mix the two but I think its a bad idea. Sometimes a little ego death is good, sometimes you need to be out of your own head for a while to find out who you are.
See this kind of language makes me wary because a lot of people who say this mean. Lets impose heavy moderation on everything I dislike to promote 'quality discussion', by which they mean everything I dislike is low quality discussion.
Asher Hill
Oh yeah, that's true. It's just interesting that it's a function of speed rather than format. Me. There are actually were one or two (Stuart Campbell) but even he sort of proves the rule, he gave up on the shitshow of videogames to write about Scottish politics full time. A valid point, but I think one countered by the fact that - as imageboard users - we've surely been programmed to detect it for petty reasons.
Will look at it, although from your description I'm mildly worried. (Not because I oppose the point, but because I too like collective identity. I worry for something that will restore any wistful "There was a chance to make it good and we blew it" feeling.)
I'm a dick because I've embraced the format. This is objectively true. If you write off a post because someone uses the phrase "anuddah shoah", you're smart. If you write off a post because someone uses the word "bourgeoisie" you're a moron. This is objectively correct. Not everyone, not remotely everyone, and the point isn't about me. In this case, regardless of my position imageboard fascists are the scum of the earth. In personalizing this, you take the anti-imageboard position. I take the dialectical position. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis motherfucker. (In questions of personal taste, I am of course above everyone.) This is true, but in a very specific way. The actual point in context is that it re-enforces difference and to a lesser degree, soft-nationalism/genuine anti-Americanism. When a fellow leftpol user consumes shit media, it doesn't crop up as much of a point. When you realize that all of Holla Forums has grown up in a completely different environment to you, even the British ones, it re-enforces the fact that you're outside the collective and have no reason to subsume yourself to it. If you have another hypothesis as to why imageboards raid other websites or have cringe threads, I'd be happy to hear them. Regardless of reason, it is an objective truth that imageboards are nastier than I am. This is a wrong interpretation, but also true. The problem isn't about raw disagreement where a novel discussion is possible (Indeed, such discussions have taken place in this thread.) but where argument arises, I have no interest. Besides, this is an imageboard. Remember, none of us should care about the circumstances of other users because they're irrelevant to the content of our posts and serve as identifying material. :^) /leftytrash/ says things that are worthwhile. I am the single judge of what is and isn't worthwhile for myself, this is pretty clear. YES. "it's fun" is a shit justification for shit consumerist taste. literally reddit, literally 4chan.
Brandon Baker
It's the dialectical response to imageboard use, the restoration of radical subjectivity. There's no point trying to put pointless nonsense into a rationalist framework. If I don't like it, I don't like it. That's the only individual response that is generated. There's no point then trying to build on that into a framework that pretends to make it objective. ("We should stop imageboard fascism for moral reasons") When the reality is the implementation of subjective policy ("It annoys me"), and this approach enforces the honesty of such a narcissistic approach. It's not about specially valuing the self, but realizing that the pathway to getting what you want doesn't lie through trying to find a way to make your feelings objectively right, but to DEFINE those feelings as objectively right. I am the state. I'm not smart, I'm just right. I've never thought I'm smart. You don't have to be smart to be right when you call others out as stupid. I'm not particularly vengeful or nasty in the grand scheme of things. I'm a relaxed hermit. Saying bad things about collective groups of losers is hardly the same thing as actually going out and bullying a specific individual. Even the individual I've perhaps been the most cruel to in aggregate (The MAGA Diaperfur.) has almost certainly never encountered any of my posts. I'm not going to pretend that's good. Never become a psychoanalysist, you suck at it if you'd infer that. Recognizing it is very distinct from feeling good about it. There is a point to be made here, and it's quite an interesting one. Consider, for example: The bourgeoisie has to die. Right, we accept that a-priori. Now: Do I kill the bourgeoisie? That's a very different question. And then the problem arises: Killing people makes you feel bad and is bad, but the bourgeoisie have to die… not smart just have good taste simple as.
Find me a person I've bullied directly and I'll find you a house and stuff it with dollar bills. (Incel socdem doesn't count he's not a person.)
I don't watch anime sufficiently to have bothered. I reiterate, and perhaps at this point we even include a weakening of identification with /leftytrash/: I am not a part of your collective. That's the key thing to take away from this, I am rejecting imageboard identity and organising such thoughts out loud, in part, in particular, because what I say out loud, what makes me appear as a "stuck up prick" is just typical imageboard affair. When I say my taste is objectively perfect, you say I'm a dick, when other users jump on your taste with a smug anime girl and a "shit taste", you accept it as social norm.
We can pretend it's all ironic, it's just culture - but this is my culture, my specific irony, my fascism. I am the state. i am the STATE.
Levi Lopez
I used to sort of think this, but the problem is that debate rarely changes minds. It's much better to just state the reality in response and try to avoid getting bogged down. Blitzkrieg, not trench warfare. I feel the ones smart enough to save don't really need serious engagement, they just need the presence of the right information.
i.e. theoretically if you post communist material on Holla Forums with just enough aesthetic camouflage, the smart ones will follow it and the stupid ones won't pick up on it, but you'll rarely if ever actually have to get into a stalemate debate until 300 posts.
is it not ironic that 4chan and channel four have so much in common? a chance to wheel out a favourite elitist quote.
I hadn't realized the whole any community who gets its jollies by pretending to be stupid will eventually be flooded by people who mistakenly believe they're in good company thing applied to dicks too.
Is this some new will to power thing all the kids are doing? Congratulations you have the ability to make judgements about the world and your feelings about it are the most real to you. There's only about 6 billion other people who are the same way.
Jackson Jenkins
that would be richard nixon who is a hero and a real human being. of all the actual points to object to i'm fascinated that "you're not a very nice person" is the route we're taking here. like damn, oh no. if you don't get it, you aren't part of my collective. go away. nah most of them are p-zombies and NPCs (source: 4chan, the place full of kind, nice people who are nothing like me, the dick.)
Henry Russell
Damn bro, I think I hate the british now. That's some high grade elitism right there. Like its kind of a miracle nobody strung up the whole condescending lot of you when the empire fell.
No I'm saying specifically that you're actively unkind and probably don't have half the character of the people you consider yourself better than.
Christopher Scott
Funny enough, the video I posted also addresses this argument. To sum up his argument, imagine if you picked up a phone and dailed a number that led to some guy (you don't know) screaming CARD CAPTOR SAKURA IS A PILE OF SHITTTTT and for one-to-six hours per day, you'd just yell NO IT'S NOTTTT back at him. You have the same conversation every day without knowing the guy's name or other interests. And when I try to intervene and convince you to stop ringing up the weird phone guy, you just say "it's only a phone number, get over it." This example is to show that it's not the medium (although as I've noted, an individual medium can facilitate certain types of discussion based on how it's constructed) but the people using the medium or inhabit the community that matter.
So is the dearth of good video game journalists a product of the culture, the institutions or the people themselves?
I admit that it takes a special type of autism to constantly wear down the average Holla Forumsyp's resistance to non-reactionary ideas.
This is an idea for people who don't have the time, patience or will to talk about things other than their narrow interests. Or hell, just not be an obtuse autist when talking about your own interests. I mean, even "#Imwithher"-tier XKCD knows better.
Matthew Moore
conversely, this is why yanks must die: you think that culture created by big corporations to appeal to the lowest common denominator is "your culture" rather than equally foreign to that imposed by paternalistic pseudo-aristocratic elites. gamergate neatly folds into the same lens, doesn't it? You have the same long decline of the gaming industry, and then people explode because someone wants to put women in their Call of Duty.
I'd love to see evidence for this. Of course, you have none, because this is an anonymous imageboard and you're inferring that because I type out "I don't want to fraternize with ancaps" or "Holla Forums users are stupid" then I must also pull the wings off flies, kick cats, be rude to service sector employees, and so on. Of course, any assumption like this is meaningless on an imageboard. Those who tell others to kill themselves aren't actively unkind, that's just their culture…
This is indeed true. I have, in past, posted about this transience of identity, which is (ironically) intimately linked to imageboard use. But the thing is, character doesn't necessarily mean good character. This, indeed, is one of the things that makes it so amusing you jump to assuming I'm a dick: I could easily have that as a character trait, and go fourth into the world to actively try and get under the skin of people as a definable entity. I do not. Sargon, I mean, he's a forceful character now isn't he? But is existing as Sargon really better than not existing? I would say no. I would say to be Sargon is to be one of the worst fates on earth. I would not impose such a burden on humanity, I would much prefer to not exist. To lurk in the corner of some small thread on a moderately sized hindu imgur clone. I'll go further: I have less character than the people in both these images. They are such clear characters in our mind, are they not? Nothing like me. No, I'm just a Dick. (Look how bad I am, I'm making fun of these people by posting - but this time it's bad and dickish rather than normal imageboard culture!)
I feel this closes neatly. On the top, we have a defence of Channel fucking 4, and on the bottom we have judging people by the quality of their character instead of it's content.
Nolan Garcia
QUANTITY of their character. Initially was "Judging people by the quantity of their character rather than it's quality" and this got fucked up because typing as a giant dick is pretty hard.
Material Conditions. It's just not really an area you can actually have good journalism for. I mean, in the old days you could rent games rather than buying them to see if they sucked or not for the same price as buying a magazine, and if you had a computer piracy was rampant. Even then, a lot of magazine stuff existed to either serve the valid purpose of giving walkthroughs/tips, to justify purchases ex-post-facto, or to flat out advertise.
Perhaps you can make a cultural argument of sorts about how it's still a bit shit even though the internet should have loads of good blogs, but on the whole the current situation for amateur reviews, etc, seems meh-okay with the primary problem being the preference for YouTube over text.
But remember, those people with their lack of time/patience/willpower are nice people who only do bad things due to material conditions. They aren't intolerable dicks, and you should be nice when talking about them in their absence.

The worship of the ideal human figure has its traces in Western Canon to the Orientalizing Period of Greece, it was taken from Egypt mostly. They only wanted to idolize the human form of their pharaohs, Greece from this period on thought all should be part of it.
The problem here is that it's lead to an obsession with the human figure in the West that's spread, that was not typical of many other regions outside of the Near East, Egypt etc. It's become an idea that's easy to accept and promoted everywhere you go. Religion to daily worry.
The fact is if the human form doesn't fit this, and this shouldn't be adopted. It just creates needless stress for regular human beings, that they need to be a certain way, bodily. Instead of actually figuring how to solve our problems collectively, we seek to point out difference from an Ideal. Shoved down our throat, that we are the ultimate and selfishness towards idolizing form should be more important than understanding human beings are not ideals to be formed, but biological animals with biological problems. Things that die easily.
If God created anything in his own image, it would be the singular cell.

Anyone who has ever seen normies interact with each other knows that for the most part the opposite is true, normies love having opinions on things they don't understand. It's so common that it's considered normal for people to spew ridiculous bullshit at one another on social media without letting it complicate real life. Given how it's Holla Forums I would wager that what they say makes others nervous or disgusted, but they aren't quite bothersome enough to warrant an earnest response from anyone. Presumably the "Kekistani" tard brigades are what happen when they cross this line.
I imagine they deserve whatever ostracism they get, but I can't bring myself to find schadenfreude in it. It's sadder than it sounds. Bad parenting and an inability to understand social norms is a recipe for disaster. I'm a mentally ill train wreck of a human being and I only have self-awareness for reasons that have left with me with even bigger issues than before. Otherwise I probably would have ended up as one of these lemmings, and chances are I would have been a lot happier too.

Sounds kind of like chatroulette, I'd probably sign up tbh. Like yes perhaps its not the healthiest thing but neither is smoking or fighting in wars and we let people do that too. I don't see why we can't just leave anonymous imageboards as they are. Is this entire board filled with filthy liberty hating Europeans? Is that what's going on here? Don't you dare come over here and try to legislate away our 128 oz big gulp cups and force us to go outside and have friends. Don't you dare!
You'll be a bit surprised if you think every American considers what they see on TV to be their culture. Gamergate was interesting but you should think about something like mass effect. Mass effect was wildly popular among conservative geeky kids because it was a military space-opera with a renegade male protagonist. Hit all the right notes, had cool guns and was available on consoles. The writers for that series though were pretty much the polar opposite. Liberal as hell, artistic pro-lgbt way more into characters and personal relationship than the gung-ho military stories. Didn't like writing mass effect nearly as much as they liked doing dragon age where they were more free to do their own thing. What's funny is the creators actually hate the majority of their audience it just most of the audience was too wrapped up in guns and Miranda's ass to notice or care. Don't forget that America is an active military empire. It's kept out of most of the general purpose media but at least 1/3 of the population is actively involved with or one degree separated from the war industry. There's a culture that's more than just a corporate creation but its not necessarily a pleasant one.
And Richard Nixon wasn't the worst president tbh.
Liam Thompson
Yeah, I can't hate Holla Forums. Most of them are so much like me, except they sought an outside force to channel their despair towards whilst I just hate myself.
I would say that social media has had a transformative effect in how people are, or at least how that's communicated, but it is indeed insufferable.
in many ways Holla Forums types are essentially "failed normies", or aspire towards that sort of ideal rather than doing anything interesting to escape from it. of course, we use different definitions of normies here (since Holla Forums are the types to say "normies hate trump" as though he was elected entirely by the internet.) but that's part of the interesting thing. i mean, Holla Forums seems like a warped version of how furries want to recreate high-school but be the jocks this time. (except also Holla Forums want the high school to be segregated circa 1950)
i don't enjoy their suffering (with some exceptions where it's actually funny.) so much as just want them gone. solidarity.
much easier to just pretend they don't exist.
It's not just TV, I was also getting at stuff created by corporations in general. i.e. to relate it back to videogames, which are also produced corporately, and which also have a channel-4 type decline where they stop being creative and start just "giving people what they want". It's sort of neoliberal choice logic: You can pick between Pepsi and Coke, that is your right, but for the love of god don't think we can do better than this… This is an interesting and valid point, though. Definitely something I didn't take appropriate account of. despite breaking up breton woods would argue nixon was the last vaguely social-democratic aligned president. Carter was a full blown neoliberal who deregulated airlines, trucking and (iirc) banking among other shit things.
although Nixon does have the inglorious honour of poorly applying monetary policy to the oil crisis. apparently there's a quote out there like "we can take the inflation, but we can't take the unemployment!" - of course, because this was a supply-side recession caused by an oil crisis rather than a demand side recession, the extra money created lots of lovely inflation but little in the way of extra employment. fun stuff.
is this not a fundamental reason to hate them, though? you have the modesty, essentially, to hate yourself for your own problems. (are likely external in root, or even if internal, could be solved by external means.) this isn't healthy, but it isn't getting big ideas. they have the cheek, the smugness, the fucking gall to believe that in the absence of jews/women/cultural marxists they would be randian supermen who could do everything for themselves. they might not be up a peg, but they need to be taken down a peg. (though of course for all i type, i only really hate Holla Forums types when they're on my mind, and i try to keep them off it.)
need to develop a coherent theory of proximal disgust, think it would be interesting. (i.e. a sort of social uncanny valley - where people somewhat like oneself are repulsive while people very different are attractive.)

I think k-on is alright and yuyushiki is my second favorite anime (episode 1 sucks though) and I utterly hat nichijou, every character except the main character feel like robots pretending to be human. It feels creepy and disgusting.
Brody Smith
As opposed to the genuine human feelings you get from the moeshit protagonists of most other SoL high school comedies?
Ryder Johnson
Game isn't the same as tv, despite the attempts to make games more movie like the stuff that catches on generally has some interaction, you play with friends, you build cities. You do things that are possible within the system but were sure as hell not the intended use. The real fun is in the play that emerges from the structure not the structure itself. Game designers have offended the gods because they have misunderstood their duty. They're trying to be creative themselves when what they should be doing is building a structure within which the players can be creative. It's why notch is a bigger cultural influence than w/e your favorite tv show with some stuffy British moron narrating crap is.
Josiah Taylor
I don't begrudge them the notion that they could have been better. Their delusions as to why they are hopeless failures are total lunacy, but at least they still have that bit of hope. It must be nice to think you'd be okay if the world was different, rather than just wishing you were someone else entirely. Not that I like Holla Forumsacks. I dislike most people, really. But hatred I feel mostly for liberals and assorted centrist trash that can look at this dumpster fire of a world and declare it to be excellent.
Jonathan Wood
Some games are appreciably linear. While I take the general point, the best approach is a synthesis of designer creativity and player creativity. If you leave things entirely or even largely down to the player, you'll wind up with a pretty shallow sandbox indeed. SimCity should be the ideal model, not minecraft. In terms of multiplayer, I want to throw out an insult to Overwatch as well. I don't need to justify it, just fill in the negative blanks yourself. lol at this tho "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister" coloured the attitudes of an entire generation of British politicians. (and probably worldwide, the series was widely exported.) When New Labour came to power in 1997 they thought it was essentially a line-by-line documentary and went about their behaviour accordingly, and there's no reason to think the same isn't true of Cameron's/May's Conservatives. That's to say nothing of how influential it was in terms of putting public choice theory into the general mindset. But hey, if our argument for gaming is that a fat weirdo saying "it's okay to be white" on Twitter has more influence than quality programming like Life on Earth then it's a damn good thing we're killing the planet and that soon "Gamers are Dead" won't be a scare story, but an empirical fact.
also minecraft became reddit faster than reddit.com itself became reddit.

I have never heard of this series and have no idea what it is. Life on earth was pretty and I spent like a few hours watching it. A good number of people I know like Dr Who and Sherlock. So I mean that's some cultural influence for you guys I guess?

There are a ton of different things I could argue against in your positions, but really the worst thing about your posting is that you post so often and drive discussion to every event or thing that supports your narrative that no one else could possibly consistently respond. It gives me the feeling that even though you're not by any means conclusively winning any argument people some lurkers will be convinced simply because you keep coming back to the same points over and over and asserting your version of reality. It's the same technique Holla Forums uses too, or political candidates (not saying you're doing it intentionally or that you're otherwise comparable to them, but still). Like I was the person who argued about pop culture stagnating with you and it barely felt (I don't want to find a record of the conversation) like you thought about my points at all. When I said that music was evolving and pop radio music is shit for other reasons, you just re-iterated your point, you didn't attack my narrative or attack my view that music has evolved. You just went back to the party line and made more points fitting your narrative.
Yuyushiki has the most consistent characterization in any piece of media I have ever consumed. Yes. They're also are capable of nuanced non-meme emotions and situations. I can name people I know who feel like every single character in the show. I can't do that for nichijou at all. None of the characters are even that cute tbh.
Aaron Ross
All within the first 5 minutes, lmao He was good for challenging Carl's retardation, but it turns out he really just doesn't care about social justice apparently. Maybe he has more in common with "Sargon" than he thinks. I dunno, I just found his reactions hilarious. He's a tiny conman, imo.

british socdem, I'd like your thoughts in this thread, if you have time
Nathan Cox
This isn't on your list, and up front I'm going to say that this is a dialogue heavy drama with almost no action. I'd also venture to say that it's Holla Forums: the anime. It's a Sengoku Jidai series - samurai, battling clans, palace intrigues and a focus on the powerful men of the era. Unlike most sengoku series, though, this de-emphasizes the martial aspect of this period and focuses on the culture, power relations and material realities of feudal Japan. Things such as palace architecture, tea bowls and schools of aesthetic/religious thought aren't ignored or viewed within a vacuum. Instead, they are properly connected to and identified as extensions of political and economic struggles between the various merchant, clerical and military classes controlling Japan during the late 1500s. This is all packaged within an engaging story replete with fleshed-out characters and the power struggles between them. It's a criminally underrated series, in part because of the troubles that derailed the original fansub group translating it. The first three episodes are indicative of the tone and pacing of the rest of the series, and I can admit that for a 39-episode series it has its fair share of filler. But I think a lot of people should consider it nonetheless, especially you since you gave LoGH a 10. I've watched the first episode about fifteen times by now and still can't answer (this is an actual spoiler, by the way-→>>)the question that Matsunaga poses to Furuta: is it better to stand against a foe you know is more powerful than you, or is it better to serve your enemy in the interest of self-preservation? Standard yuribait SoL. It's comfy and helps me when I'm depressed and wondering what the whole fucking point my life is for. I don't consider it to be a *great* anime, I know it's cheaply produced and middle-of-the-road. But honestly I kind of love the fact that it's not an anime that tries to be something more than it is. It knows exactly what it's for and is happy to do that thing best: cute girls in cute yuri situations with lots of engrish. Plus, Karen warms my heart the same way a cat warms your heart when you pet its belly and hear it purr.
Alexander Lewis
This is happening to /a/ as we speak. Things like the crackdown on "generals" that only managed to remove things like the sadpanda threads while leaving actual generals intact, or banning things like sakurafish or koume threads, all while the posting quality goes to shit and Holla Forumsyps become more blatant. All this started around the time Holla Forums managed to fire modcat over some stupid shit, he was basically the only mod who didn't hate /a/'s guts.
Zachary Young
As opposed to failure being down to the CIA, revisionism or an incorrect interpretation of marx… and indeed, sometimes personal failure towards Holy Socialism.
The fascism that prospers on imageboards is beyond farce, the leftists that populate the internet being obsessed with them implies they exist on the same level, the bottom of the spectacle. Fascism's popularity in this sphere renders it practically harmless, a movement of incel life-denying neckbeards attracts only their own kind, with all those that don't conform to this form being expunged by the e-drama that inevitably follows a movement that is rooted in a place where social dysfunction is an asset, a requirement even.
Sebastian Martin
shitty rant incoming Why is the mainstream left so fucking bad at prioritizing things? My country, Finland, is a decent example. Some of the hottest discussions revolve around three things: racism/poc, trans/gay rights and opposing "fascism". The amount of racial minorities is tiny as hell. Nearly all immigrants aren't even PoC but from Europe/Russia, Muslim population is below 1%. The amount of "PoC" is probably only a few percent (there are no statistics by ethnic group, but that should be a reasonable assumption)
The trans rights people are straight up misleading in their arguments; for example, they whine about how trans people are "required to be sterilized" if they transition. Which is true, except this "sterilization" legally happens when the person takes their hormone medications. There's no "extra" procedure to make them sterile. A trans man recently got pregnant simply by stopping taking their medications.
The antifa people are organizing big marches against a tiny (less than 100 members) neo-nazi group that was already banned by our courts and won't be allowed to function for much longer. Totally necessary m8s. Of course, they also oppose some general "fascism" organized into a few other irrelevantly small groups.
Adrian Wilson
Because the left was routed and hasn't recovered. Parties, anarchist groups, or whatever are no longer working class organizations but larp groups for edgy fags. The focus on trannies, PoC, and nazis is because at such small numbers the left no longer feels able to challenge capitalism in any meaningful way. There is some truth to this and we should use these issues to recruit and radicalize, but too often it stops at these issues and doesn't extend to socdem half measures, let alone revolt.
Logan Nelson
Either: they don't really have a grasp on theory and history, or they're university students or yuppies who have no idea how to organize anything, or maybe controlled opposition but unfortunately this is the least likely scenario :/
Mason Russell
Transactivists are the worst cancer. They're reason of huge butthur at every time I read about their new "ideas".
Transgedner anarchist here.
Mainstram left means different in different country, Finnish comrade. Here (Poland) mainstrem left parties are focused more on proving their patriotism, Catholicism and anticommunism, and any LGBT/PoC issues aren't at ant point put forward (it does not bother the right wing to constantly mumble about gender ideology and abortionists destroying the family).
I think it depends on what ideology have cultural hegemony at this moment. In your counter, the most hegemonic narrative seems to be social liberalism, where I live most hegemonic narrative is national catholicism. Mainstream left perceive themselves as being within the hegemonic narrative withour going outside, so that makes them automatically plays according to the rules of hegemony. At least that's my idea.
Joseph Jones
I've asked myself this question too, which I think is best approached without an ''ought'.
The answer I have come up with is that the big things, that which underlies the issues spoken of, are simply too large to be focused on, they have no actuality.
Joshua Edwards
I suppose that they are scared by what they see in other countries, but they should build superior alternatives instead.
Robert Phillips
But it's no way fucking true. Ie. Związek Syndykalistów Polski (Union of Polish Syndycalists) in all years of our existence never touched upon transgender topics, or some intersectional narrative. For we have been operating as an working class organization for over a dozen years, but it don't change social perception of us as a band of perverted faggots, just because this is the propaganda stereotype of the right.
All ours sin is that we don't exclude LGBT people from organization and don't refuse to help such workers if they meet with violence in the workplace. This is already discrediting to us. Moreover, in none of our publications have we touched so-called moral themes, even on the subject of such elementary matters as the rights to abortion, we also accepted people with conservative views in the union. And we have never criticized anyone for homophobia or racism. Still, right wing manage to show us as "destroyers of family" and "gender terrorists".
And here I listen to the same fucking narrative "you're not real workers" despite being postmen, shop assistants, confectioners and so on. We'll be never "true working class" in this right wing narrative if we'll not Not Socialists.
Samuel Smith
Honestly sad to see 4/a/ go down the same path 4/jp/ went down. A funny aside to all of this is 4/a/ is, in a sense, "gentrifying." Alien and unwanted generals are being removed one by one. Most of them wind up in 4/jp/, which has become a kind-of ghetto for the larger generals. I know that MGG and DJT are 4/a/ rejects moved to 4/jp/.

what does the racial discusion center about?, is it about shutting down racists or what?, either way i'd ask this, is there revolutionary potential there?, material conditions centainly don't seem right, and if there is no revolutionary potential how can they be doing anything other than doing stupid shit like that?
William Bennett
The reaction has already crested, comrade Now we push back Now we break them
Lincoln Thomas
Its largely about "privilege", but of course, also concrete anti-racism which is good enough (just not as the main focus).
Too much of it focuses on stupid shit though - one example: there was kind of an attempt at a shitstorm over police looking for people who "look like foreigners" when the police were searching for some paperless migrants. The anti-racist argument was basically that the police is racist because they're more likely to approach someone with dark skin who speaks a foreign language than some whitey who speaks Finnish. Another: one minister, right after a terrorist attack that killed people, said something like "the attacker looked foreign" when giving basic information about the attack - a shitstorm 'cause you just can't say that.
Obviously no. But I don't think that is any excuse to avoid better priorities. The leftists aren't going to be able to use the future "revolutionary situation" if they lack popular support then. There's disconcert that could probably be used to at least push social democrat ideas or general anti-capitalism. Revolutionary parties should focus on preparation rather than collaboration with liberals.
Justin Ramirez
What should we expect when capitalism finally removes its human face again, AKA capitalist laws are similar to shit prior to the USSR founding (the thing that forced reforming for capitalism not to literally have its brain be blown out). Socialism has become the biggest boogeyman and the USSR falling (which is leading to this slipoff of the mask) is not going to make things easier for us. So what do we expect?
Lucas Gray
Some likely future developments are so hard to take into account that I wouldn't go guessing. These are from an European, 1st world perspective, as your post implies that that is what we are talking about (the laws in many poor countries aren't exactly so good even now)
1. Ecological problems Will these get solved? Either through a sudden change in policies or due to some new technology. If they won't, who knows what awaits us. There'll be even more refugees to the first world, will that empower a proper ultra-nationalism/fascism?
2. Automation in the 1st world This might be our big change OR our big failing. How will the bourgeoisie states react? Will they answer with bribery or with pure repression? They might just give a small universal basic income + shitty uber jobs to the workers, which might be our big change, as no one probably wants to live like that.
3. The young generations in 1st world countries. Most of them (will) have it worse than their parents, but they will be rather educated and so on. How will their discontent be realized? Can we steer it to the left?
Hiro is trying to make the whole site more Holla Forums friendly. It's over.
Easton Cox
I don't understand
Dylan King
that article she posted is such a reasonable take but idiots have to overreact.
Henry Cruz
such is the nature of true power, the power to remain hidden.
This is the flaw in your position, you want to argue. It's not enough to fire positions into the atmosphere and see if we learn anything, you have to make us shoot each other. I hate arguing on the internet. It's stupid. Nobody learns things. Nobody changes their mind. I'm sure I said this before but it's a really important point to actually remember. See, the (left to implication, now openly stated) point of saying "I am objectively right about everything" isn't to feed personal narcissism, but to terminate discussion because nothing useful is likely to follow from that avenue. "I'm a god, how can you argue with a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive?" (except also internet arguments are ashblight ruining everyone's day and making people crazy.) agree entirely I'm not sure if this is supposed to augment with the prior point ("you post more often than other people could reasonably be expected to do!") or run alongside it. Again though, if you seek to respond in argument then as a general policy I would suggest not responding. (And there are specific consideration here: One can have disagreement in discussion without argument.) I can't deny a charge of repetitiveness, but Holla Forums is much more overtly hostile and argumentative and politicians have to at least keep up the illusion of there being something meaningful in their attempt to say nothing in as many words as possible. (And when I do the really politicianish thing of specifically avoiding touching on disagreement while steering to agreeable territories, that's really un-Holla Forums and also less politician-y because politicians feel the need to pad it out with extra words, while I tend to just reply as-is and leave it to the reader to infer I'm not going to die on that hill.) My thoughts on your data points were how they related to my datapoints. I stated my reply, maybe you found something interesting, maybe you didn't. I have no interest in trying to change your point of view, only possibly augment it or provide something of mild interest. Also if I remember right, I specifically avoided taking an argumentative stance early on and getting bogged down in trench warfare about something that was already travelling away from my temporary interest and where there's nothing objective to even fall back on anyway.
I know what you're thinking - Did he avoid six points or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a Futaba style imageboard, the most potentially tedious medium for discussion in the whole world and could bore you straight to death, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
It's interesting but outside my area of knowledge. I only really know British stuff. (And while our security services are weird and have plotted against Harold Wilson and so on, they're also not the CIA.)
yeah but they make the spectacle really annoying and should go away.

Is romantic obsession with celebrities a symptom of late capitalism?
Noah Ross
...
Lucas Baker
Yes.
Angel Phillips
I think it comes a priori from celebrity culture. Which you could argue itself is a symptom of capitalism, but I'd argue that as long as we have a culture of celebrity obsession which takes normal people and makes them gods in the eyes of the public, we'll have nutty fans. Regardless of the material conditions under capitalism.
Hudson Anderson

Jace Diaz

Samuel Barnes
Well yeah, celebrities themselves are a capitalist phenomenon. I guess the bug behind my ear is about to what extend does our material socio-economic context define our affects, our sexuality and desires. I saw a video of the stalker who killed himself because of Björk talking about her angelic, childlike features and the paternal urges he has about her, and I thought to myself that that's the exact same pattern of thinking of waifufags on oldchan. In other words, is it love or ideology?
I can't blame them, what a hunk.
Daniel Sanders
How worried should we be about idpol? I mean, I'm all for intersectional liberation and all, but the more I read about these 'movements' the more toxic they seem. Especially LGBT groups who seem to constantly be inventing new subgroups to argue about, and people who talk about physical and mental disability, who relish in finding new ways to use the term "ableism".
These sorts of people seem to have a lot of overlap with the modern western left. They're undoubtedly going to be a major part of it. And unless we want communist sympathy to fizzle out/never even take root in the US, like it did 100 years ago, we can't afford to abstain from idpol. Especially not in the increasingly diverse west. Where do we draw the line?
Hunter Perez
I think it's definitely gonna cool down. Some of their claims are gonna stick and change culture substantially, but my bet is in the future we'll think of SJWs and anti-SJWs as artifacts of the early 21st century.
Liam Foster
The way to deal with them? Push the good stuff that they want. This is the way the moderates and bourgeoisie killed off revolutionary leftists in the welfare states: give them a lot of what their supporters want and they de-radicalize.
So just integrate the good stuff from their programs into your own. Work together with them where possible. However, we might want to create our own discourse around the same issues - not talk about privilege etc, but rather just the concrete issues.
That said, I do believe that people sometimes overestimate the importance of the so-called SJW views. Yes they exist, yes they have influence, but the amount of people who actually subscribe to the "extreme liberal" views isn't so big. The left probably sabotages itself more than helps itself by making a big deal out of this stuff.

Why do some communists/anarchists do that retarded shit where they call themselves anti-something, in such a way that it sounds really edgy But then proceed to explain what they mean and it isn’t anything special
Examples: anti-politics, anti-democracy - generally these don’t actually mean ”yea lets not decide anything together”, which would be weird and edgy, instead it just means something like ”lmao politicians suck” and ”lmao don’t fetishize democracy”
Jaxson Walker

OK so basically it seems that you don't think that argument directly referencing the fundamental disagreements is productive, so you instead prefer to state a large bunch of claims (specific and generalizations) and then people are supposed to take what is agreeable and/or sensible to them, and disregard the rest? First off, even when 'discussing' all of the small points, make no mistake, you're intentionally pushing a narrative with them. So this request to stop arguing is utterly one sided. In effect you are 'arguing' you just don't accept arguing with anyone, but instead for them to argue along side you. This is why I am disturbed by your posts, simply by not responding, I feel like the thread is gradually disagreeing with me more and more. I think that approach to discussion is utterly hopeless. The worldviews, the way we interpret and process new information is the important part of discussion in the first place. Even your posts are not merely listing off statistics, studies, and occurrences at random, they list off anecdotes and interpretations of the anecdotes' causality. Ignoring the differences underlying true disagreement will either further things in a subversive way (where the truth of them is merely determined by the number of anecdotes you can pull out) or not further things at all. Moreover not every discussion that 'shoots' directly to the heart of the matter is some some shit-flinging contest or hopeless. Do you think it would even be hopeless for you to be convinced that culture is not stagnating or slowing down but still getting worse? Is that too large solid a position for either of us that we must ignore it for now and come back only later when the foundations are crumbling? Or do you not believe that disagreements will ever be resolved and we are doomed to confusion? Fair enough, but every disagreement you discuss is going to amount to trench warfare if you jump so quickly to a shotgun of specific instances when the time for delving with abstractions has not run its course. If you still disagree, and you're still going to do what you've been doing, then when the discussion gets directly empirical; statistics are more fitting imo than anecdotes, anecdotes show that a thing is possible and are good for clarification, statistics show that a thing or trend is prevalent.
Nathaniel Lee
They speak of leftists as spoiled, petulant children, used to getting everything they want, constantly told they are special snowflakes, raised to have a massive sense of entitlement.. not the kind of people you'd want making political decisions. No, what we need is someone raised upon the notion that his power is to be absolute, granted by God himself, an absolute king.
It's stuff like this that turned me away from reaction(tm), it's a cargo cult. The absolute kings of europe were with some notable exceptions simple-minded manchildren, liabilities that had to be frantically managed by the adults at court. The only worthwhile nobility is the lower nobility; junckers, samurai, hidalgo.. those for whom power is craft instead of right.

love these the perfect balance of cringe, surrealism, apparent earnestness. In part, but not in full. You can continually press on a point of disagreement without still having things devolve into an argument. Generally a hint will arise that no further useful information will be forthcoming. In essence the key point would be to abandon any pretence to convincing others. This is indeed true, but you can take it or leave it. Above all else, an atmosphere of civility is maintained. The last thing we need is to fuck this thread up. Perhaps your paradigm is outdated and by adopting a discussion based approach, you too could say what you wanted to say and then move on. Maybe it doesn't actually matter whether internet threads agree with you or not, so long as they don't escalate to hostility or tedium. You would hate my statistic based argument even more, believe me. You would really hate it. You seem to be extrapolating a lot from a discussion about something as spongy and temporarily attention holding as culture. Perhaps this is a design the discussion should terminate. Replying is never obligatory. So long as you'll reply, I'll interpret it as a request for continuation. In a single discussion? Absolutely. If I was particularly interested, it may kick start a long process of rolling down to a new opinion, but it's remarkably unlikely that a single discussion on an imageboard would outvalue something from a higher source. Also, if I remember right I'm pretty sure the way I stated the stagnation thing was more "Here's what Mark Fisher said", which only re-enforces the nature of the thing. We could theoretically discuss it at length. The question is whether it would be a particularly interesting experience. My interest, in particular regarding culture, is as much in showing what other people have thought as it is adopting a solid position myself. "I take your point" is a resolution when it comes to an internet argument.
You can shotgun abstractions just as easily as you can shotgun anecdotes. Especially on 8ch where you can upload 4 images at once.
A tangent: There's a huge value to knowing when to get out of arguments on an imageboard. There comes a point where you realize it's much better to tell the other person to fuck off and close the tab, rather than slowly engaging in a back-and-fourth over days. I mean, here's the primary thing: It doesn't really matter. 99% of the time, it just doesn't matter. From there we can extrapolate a key axiom of behaviour on imageboards: Yukkuri Shiteitte ne!* - You'll get more enjoyment out of closing the tab and doing basically anything else than you will when you finally get in the last reply. (And if that doesn't work, you can always wait until the thread is on page 10/20 and sneak in the last reply to placate yourself, knowing the archive will show you got the last word in.) *that literally translates to "take it slowly" which is also amusingly appropriate given how drawn out this is lol

I don't think this is what you think it is. Look up "Kotori" on google and the first result is Love Live. It's perfectly reasonable that the person running the twitter account was just poking fun at the unlikeliness of them also knowing about the same anime. Or maybe it's just dystopian and they're sinisterly reminding her that they're always listening to her and know everything about her. Take your pick.

I literally don't know what you mean by argument if it isn't 'pressing on a point of disagreement', it sounds like you've practically defined an argument as something that doesn't work well. Are you saying once you're not trying to convince people it's bad or once its bad you should stop trying to convince people? Both? In some ways I'm accusing you of cultural manipulation, and your response is 'maybe it doesn't matter'? I am not impacted by many things I still abhor. Just because I have made a pact with the devil known as indifference a thousand times before doesn't mean asking me to make one more is OK. Critiquing me for both being the one to end our last conversation and for not knowing when to stop feels a bit unfair. That's not a problem. But if you know or expect a conversation is going to on long it is a problem to expand too quickly from the central conceit of the discussion. Like I still don't know what you're exact position was on culture… Is it that I should read Mark Fisher to find out? I did read one of the two blog posts you linked, but perhaps it was my mistake to think that they were 'extra' and not fundamental to your position. Like obviously debates or discussions are going to expand beyond the central focus, and can occasionally abandon them, but unless you do (and you haven't you're still making posts about how mundane culture is today) it's important to get some idea of what your problem is exactly. Agreed, but I don't know if that happened much(I guess I took the insight that there aren't specific 'wow' moments and I don't know what you took) Yes that is also a thing that would be bad, doesn't challenge my notion that the central conceit should be understood before expansion from it. (please don't merely respond that sometimes you need to expand beyond the center to understand the center, yes that is sometimes fine but I don't think I criticized an instance of that.)

How can we trust MLs to guard their revolution against revisionism when they can't even guard an imageboard against it?
Daniel Reyes
The definition of "pressing" is probably the actually confusing element here. By pressing, I essentially mean continuing on the point, rather than trying to extract a concession of "you're right" or "i'm wrong". An argument would broadly be defined in this context as an exchange of diverging or opposite views, typically a heated or angry one, in which one or both parties seek to change the viewpoint of the other. In essence, that convincing people shouldn't be a concern at all in a scenario like this. (Although it's also a small motivator in continually providing additional information, at the end of the day the use of that information is left to the reader.) I don't recall that being my exact intention but I like how relaxed that sounds, so yeah. I mean, what exactly do you expect the result of this unconscious cultural manipulation will be? I don't recall critiquing you for being the one to end the last conversation. My presumption on you stopping was, in essence, that you had said what interested you and then moved on. the devil is our most revolutionary comrade against holy-trinity imperialism though. it is a mystery. In general, I would suggest fisher in terms of the shotgun approach. Regardless of what I think, I think Fisher said something relevant to the conversation. (And that in aggregate his thoughts are worth more than mine.) They were fundamental in the sense of being core relevant information, i.e. of equal or greater value to any thoughts I had on the matter at the time. Less in terms of a position held, and more in terms of "this might interest you" I feel these are more likely questions of taste than of overall direction. (And with particular focus on recently talking about the internet/imageboards that's particularly the focus: regardless of entropy, things are shit.) My problem is surmised as the same thing; that things are shit. Sometimes even more specifically, it's just a thought out loud about disliking something. don't have huge concern for such a depth based approach, truthfully. fire off what's interesting and see what happens, even if you wind up miles from the starting point. you might learn something interesting. for a depth-based approach to coming to a conclusion (i.e. focusing around a central point) it's usually better to go off and do things alone than to discuss. in many ways an approach quite reflective of imageboard discussion as a whole, just streamlined.
We're just doing this to piss them off, it's not that complicated. Most of these campaigns are literal make-work projects to keep the aut-right from fighting itself out of boredom

The liberal-autism connection needs more attention honestly. Autists have a strange obsession with idealism. In an ideal socialist society it would not exist due to advancements in gene therapy and/or psychiatry.

That, plus if they're ☭TANKIE☭s, it just sounds really bad. Like, they actually want to do bad stuff just for the sake of it. Any ☭TANKIE☭ should have the spine to at least admit that a lot of their beloved anti-imperialist or M-L countries go a bit too far in their disregard for bourgeoisie human rights.
Have a chat with your GP. He can refer you to a specialist, support networks, and prescribe certain medication that will physically keep you from enjoying alcohol.
They are not wrong. Our current conception of freedom, liberty, individuality and self-expression are very bound up with consumerism and liberalism, capital's handmaidens. And it's not just ☭TANKIE☭s saying this - isn't Bookchin's whole shtick about the need to forge new communities out of the detritus of our current culture?
What is, in your opinion, the worst and the best socialist subreddit? I think the best one is r/communism101 as the discussions are somewhat fruitful and it's a healthy mix between MLs and Leftcoms, and I think the worst subreddit would be r/socialism.

I use condoms when I am having sex with people who I am not in an active relationship with. A pre requisite to going steady with me is that we both have to get tested for STD'S. For a while I only used condoms for penetrative intercourse but then I did a hook ul with this one guy and he gave me gonohreah of the throat because I was throating that dick and then I did another hook up a year later and we used condoms but he throated my dick and apparently have me gonohreah of the urinary tract which is about 10,000x worse that having it in your throat. Your fuck oozes puss and it burns ehen you pee and when you take your underwater off there is yellow crusty shit all over the front of your underwater. Then after it got cured my urinary tract felt funny for almost 2 whole months.
Both of those guys were gay and mixed race, coincidence? I think not. Holla Forums proved right once again.

That and dont assume that oral is safe because the only thing you are really safe from with oral sex is HIV.

Unless it's a long-term situation I use condoms, and even then I'll use them if they're not on birth control. No stds and no kids so I think I'm doing ok.

Ryan Murphy
I think that Japanese guy might be schizophrenic… Weird thread.
Matthew Clark
Not many other types of systems have been tried enough to make the statement that it is "most efficient" at these things; capitalists have made sure of that. It is efficient at keeping a select few in power over others, though. There are plenty of motivators for progress that don't include the selfish profit motive. In fact, that now holds many sciences back, as they aren't given sufficient funding or opportunity to expand.
Lmao. It is what's directly responsible for limiting opportunities for most people, as well as keeping their standard of living low. We could be investing in the future for society, but instead all of the power is with those at the top who do all in their power to keep lower classes just that, lower. Less competition & less chance their power is threatened.
Grayson Green
Funny, because since the advent of capitalism people's living standards and their opportunities have increased dramatically.
Jeremiah Clark
That is also true for slavery, feudalism, theocracy, soviet style 'socialism' and fascism, but you are correct I suppose.
Carter Morris
the original statement was literally
and like you're not even a marxist if you don't recognize the productivity of capitalism which, obviously, does not make capitalism good, just pretty good at this one thing which results in a lot of technological advancement (which may or may not be the type that is the most helpful to humans at any given moment)
Hunter Allen
Fucking shoot me for buckling and accepting an unpaid internship. I'm going to get like a single per diem out of a month of work
Most of which is rendered inaccessible by property restrictions under capitalism There are more than 500 job """"""""""""""""opportunities"""""""""""""""""""""""" on my local job board and all of them want a minimum wage employee who will be perpetually on-call, work three hour shifts and do it for minimum wage (minus the inevitable wage theft) The cost of a hip replacement in the US is way more expensive than in countries with state-managed healthcare systems There are other metrics that show how more economically "free" countries lag behind less economically "free" countries in terms of living standards, and if you're willing to wait until I get off work
Logan Russell
designed =/= implemented I didn't not recognize the productivity of it. But that it's not the most effective designed. It has taken us as far as it can, now it is buckling, exploiting far too much & poisoning our environment. It has also lowered many's standard of living; just see the insane amount that college tuition has increased, factory jobs vanished in the US, etc.
Henry Green
Oh no! If only we could steal the property of the rich and successful! That's a shame. Don't see what it has to do with my point though; show me another system that has created as much opportunity as capitalism. That's because there's too much state interference in the US healthcare system. If you leave the market alone it will sort things out. The same way socialist countries lagged WAAAAAY behind the US? Perhaps if you spent more time working hard and less time on Holla Forums you'd be earning a little more by now.
Blake Stewart

James Davis
Literally what do you mean by this The ussr didn't lag behind the US, it accelerated at roughly the same pace up until the collapse (except for the beginning where it rapidly industrialized faster than basically any other country), it was just behind the US to begin with.
Parker Lewis
sad. Even if we accept that utter TRIPE to be true, that isn't an argument against statist capitalism.
Jeremiah Flores
Anyway, monopoly prices don't exceed an individuals ability to pay, and even if they do, why do you have to try and force people to surrender their property if they don't want to.
We support a society built upon VOLUNTARY relations and PRIVATE property. aka absolute freedom to pursue one's goals provided you don't break the NAP
Arguments for deregulation are basically a fallacy of repetition. Whenever regulations are nerfed or removed and–as usual–shit doesn't get any better (or worsens for that matter), lolberts simply say that we haven't deregulated enough and need to keep going. They will always be too much regulation because "true" laissez-faire economics are an ill defined pipe dream. It is also disingenuous to pretend that economic regulation doesn't exist for a reason; in many cases, they have slightly reduced economic efficiency in exchange for a substantial increase in quality of life for consumers and workers, like in the food and beverage industry. Yes, a communist is the one that has to point this out.
Life being unfair is a two-way street, fam. So we'll just implicitly threaten you with violence until we get what we want. Fine with me.
Ian Sullivan
It'd be fine if you wanted to make a shitposting thread about how NAP is best principal or whatever, but this isn't the place for it and if you aren't trolling you're probably the dumbest an-cap I've ever talked to so in any case I'm not interested.

NEED a totalitarian trade union state. idea is as follows: you are mr. petit bourg. you act in contravention of state policies, such as inflation busting price increases. if the state comes and arrests you, that's very authoritarian and scary - but what if instead the permanent social democratic government got their friends in the trade unions to just cut off your services? notionally, it's just a voluntary collective of individuals delineating their working practices. as an official regulatory framework, this would seem very desirable indeed provided the trade-union relationship with the government remained strong and manageable.
To a limited degree this did happen (postal workers and Grunwick for example.) but if you could broaden it out into all sectors it would be less vulnerable to subversion by upper class interests. At Grunwick, it was subverted in part by individuals doing the deliveries instead- this wouldn't have worked if the power station had also shut off electricity to the grunwick plant, the water people shut off their water, and then the hygiene monitoring people dutifully did their job and said you can't make people work in a building without functioning bathrooms.
lol most first world countries have devolved into defending wealth over creating it hmm how will i create wealth today? will i invest in products and services to create goods people want? nah fuck it i'll buy a house and wank all day.
tbh while within the framework of capitalism, the role of the state (which is often contrasted with capitalists as being "corporatism" or other such no true scotsman wanking) in innovation shouldn't be overlooked. the developments of private corporations while often valuable (except when they're making bad things like iphones that give us 4chan phoneposters) tend to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, that is they take existing technology and find new uses rather than creating new uses. looooker.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/The-Entrepreneurial-State-Debunking-Public-vs.-Private-Sector-Myths.pdf book i haven't read but have cribbed some of the conclusions of. (it's okay, i did the same for "how to talk about books you haven't read")
the land is the property of the state why do you seek to be a tenant in my property without accepting the tenancy agreement? love how you can contrive a situation where i exploit a starving person because the voluntarily traded their kidneys for my bread, rather than just accepting that in any practical and pragmatic sense ensuring individual opportunity in breadth rather than depth is preferable.
on the other hand it's hard to get angry at ancaps once you clearly delineate them from neoliberals. they're just a crank factory, who gives a fuck lol. neolibs at least actually have influence.

Socialism or LateStageCapitalism (if you count that one) are by far the worst because of the nutbag mods. Communism101 is pretty good; anarchy101 is alright too but it doesn't go quite as in depth as c101. BadPhilosophy isn't a leftist subreddit, nor is it a place to learn, but it's one of the only places on reddit where the people who talk about Marx have actually, consistently read him first.

That's just typical suburbanite talk. They literally believe that socialism is when the petty bourgeoisie are not in power. The best thing about "late stage" capitalism is the stress it places on small time property owners. Really shows you their true colors.

Both Lainchan and Arisuchan used to be pretty full of anarchists but somehow they got taken over. I'm pretty sure that Kalyx banning the anarchists helped a lot but other than that I'm not exactly sure how it happened.
Whoever is in charge gets a stick up their ass and bans whoever they don't like. It's a weakness of hierarchial organization, we can see it play out in various forums regardless of leadership. If Holla Forums got bought by an ancap we'd be shut down for violating the NAP.

Also, if I get a real job packing chicken or whatever I'll be afraid of the disapproval of my former peers in academia. And yet I have a feeling I'd probably be happy with an actual job.
I haven't been a neoreactionary for a while now and yet I still fuck myself over in the hopes of getting appointed to the liberal nobility.

That seems unlikely. Beyond that, it's not a profession that makes people respect you, not really. You're chasing fool's gold.
Christian Brooks
I got out of that treadmill a couple years back. Can't tell you how toxic that atmosphere can be, especially for some of my cohort that didn't have a strong sense of their own intelligence or worth. There's so few jobs that every day you aren't spending networking or publishing you're losing out to someone who is. Lot of them just ended up feeling like miserable failures, felt to bad to do anything and felt guilty for not doing anything. Then you realize your x years into doing something that leaves you completely unprepared or unqualified for anything else and you're not going to make it and you aren't even that interested in what you're doing you were just sprinting at breakneck pace in the hopes someone would approve of you.

I'd probably have more of a shot if I completely sold out and went to work doing Project Veritas ratfucking for Husky and Suncor and Irving. I would probably kill myself if I tried to go through life as a 21st century grima wormtongue though My mind short circuits when I try to think about this though. I think about exiting and finding something else and my mind instantly assumes that I'll lose face and become another liberal loser who went to grad school for a useless degree. Even though I don't have a job because I can't network for shit and have to compete against the pod people who live on Instagram. Speaking of which…
I'm just speaking for the media consultant/management market, but it legitimately *frightens* me how these jobs require you to be eternally online, eternally building and defending your personal brand, forcing yourself to socialize, and especially sharing every waking moment you have on FB, IG, Twitter, your personal blog (with a dedicated domain) and Pinterest. You should also be young and conventionally attractive. The people in my class who got good ass jobs - I'm assuming, they could all be working for minimum wage - all did and continue to do this, they project the right balance of poptimist confidence punctuated with quirky interests and tumblr-inspired emotional vulnerability. Like I said, they're fucking pod people and you'll lose to the pod people if you want to compete to get their jobs. This is compounded by the fact that there's few objective gauges for what constitutes value in my field. What's the value of spreading neoliberal austerity propaganda on the internet for some aging hedge fund manager who pays people to log him in to his e-mail? He doesn't know. So just print off all the impressions your ads made on Twitter and let the guy bargain you down to $15k. The only people that can get these jobs are the soulless pod people who are *psychologically conditioned* to sell social media like the shamwow guy sells dishrags. Story of my life. At least I still have KinMoza to keep me happy.

I mean thats a job where you are literally paid to do image management for corps. It's not surprising that they look for people who are good at image management for themselves. I was going to be all sympathetic about academia becoming all about image management when it should be about good scholarship and good teaching. But if your ambition is to be a paid schill, you shouldn't complain that people expect you to be a good schill. The person who is generically attractive and will only express themselves in socially acceptable without being cliche catchphrases is quanifiably more valuable than you as a media consultant.

Alexander Sullivan
It was a massive disappointment for a final album from Iggy Pop, very reserved and almost mechanical with none of the energy and passion of the Stooges or Berlin albums.
Michael Harris
It is imho. It has more in common with the idiot than lust for life tho.
Damn man, I thought the hollowness of it was a call back to the idiot. I get your point and I can see why people don't like slow iggy. I liked it even more because I bought every shit album he made in the last 15 years so I had my expectation underground. That said I wasn't expectin anythinf better than this. I wasn't expecting a funhouse 2.0 but coming full cirlce with an "hangover" album like the idiot was.
Andrew Adams
Even compared to the Idiot I find it lacking. Maybe I'm just sad Iggy's an old man now and any final work he could have done would disappoint me.
Owen Edwards
You have to admit that is still better than the stooges two "reunion" albums. Those were fucking shite
that's good because the idiot is my favorite solo album from Iggy.
Most musicians should learn when to retire imo
Luke Roberts
Good taste. The idiot is actually my favorite album ever, let's be real here tho. It's a bowie album more than a Iggy album, it's kind of a cop out to say the idiot. Iggy should have died on stage a long time ago.

Gavin Long
Yeah, he specifically talk about the European "New Right".
Andrew Stewart
"Ah yes, because Indigenous people who want autonomy from the people who slaughtered them and stole their land are basically fascists." Do these people really not see the error in their thinking? Its blood and soil because you think there's some kind of "their land (their by ethnicity)
that said I don't particularly mind decolonization as I don't live in colonized land. I can let the indig and the others fight the political battle over this if they see it as necessary, but I'd def rather focus on socialism (a strong worker's state might be able to handle the "returning them to their land" part better, so I would advice the decolonizers to do the same!)
Alexander Foster
The petty bourgeoisie character of these kinds of activists doesn't help either honestly. Also indigenous organizations can be porky as fuck.
Well it does make more sense for them to feel threatened than it does for the average "hwite" american mutt. Doesn't make it less stupid and reactionary of course.

TLDR: Holla Forums is probably dying Is it just me or is Holla Forums perfectly summarizing the history of leftism (or the Soviet Union, your choice)? The conditions that lead to the creation of /leftpol/ also seems to echo either the First Internationale or the Sino-Soviet Split (your choice) with the shitfest going to only get worse, with either the board's eventual collapse (this would be a USSR scenario) or the board getting a massive spike in ONLY Leninists/Trots/MLs which would be the first Internationale scenario (this spike would resemble the USSR's foundation) with what I see would create a slow and eventual decline in board quality as all non-Leninists slowly are driven away and an eventual circle-jerk forms till one day the board finally dies or even just gets deleted by the Admins since there aren't enough IPs to hold the board back from being banned and enough people to bitch about it
Liam Anderson
This is such bullshit. As a ML I feel like the board has never been worse, there is no big ML cospiracy. ML is still a minority, the problem are fucking liberals and it has been like this since cville
Gavin Rogers
It's all a social experiment by the BO years in the making. Holla Forums is actually a CIA controlled op.

Dont' worry m8
Why you follow viners? Also could you explain what's to like musically speaking? She's the generic ghetto hoe who talks about money
Because cville gave us a lot of people from reddit, Holla Forums ecc. And made the political discussion on here became all about antifascism and Holla Forums vs us. If you go to web archive you'll see that before cville the board was a lot more radical and a lot less focused on "antifascism". Just watch how hoochie become well loved by most of the board because she "triggers le Holla Forumsyps" while i'm pretty sure she not even a communist/anarchist or whatever.

Loud screams about "tankies" are caused not by growing numbers of ML, but by growing numbers of liberals. Suddenly Bernie is "Left" and all we need is intersectionality (also more market).
There is no ML in charge.

Isaac White
Come on. Communism is treated like a cargo cult that has to magically combat all kinds of problems. Simultaneously. Pure intersectionalism.
For example: We've got to the level of "World Revolution is Imperialism".
Does "tank" mean "too authoritarian for my liberal tastes" or actual Marxism-Leninism?
My impression is that centrist position had been getting stronger (since after the summer).
Samuel Lopez
It means being an ML, and a retarded version of ML too
Oliver Hernandez
Consider getting out of the marketing/social media/corporate image game. There are plenty of low key white collar jobs that you are just as capable at, which will not eat at your soul so much. It is better to just have to worry about your image in the eyes of your co-workers and bosses, than about your co-workers, bosses, and the vicious morass of the public social media on to of that.
Being an ancap presupposes that you think so highly of yourself that rules can only hinder you. It could not be any other way.
Unless your account is blocked, you have no excuse tbh.
Not the word I would use. Ethnonationalism is bad regardless of who does it. You don't need it to emancipate a people, and shame on people who can't differentiate between national liberation and ethnonationalism. If you resort to it leftists should be very wary of you.
You can enjoy things without also having to pretend you're doing something relevant, you know.
Nicholas Jenkins
I mean I don't actively follow viners these days but I used to be on a the app a lot in its prime and somehow found her account which was pretty funny imo. I found out she somehow got a role in a tv show and started making music so I supported that I guess. I'm not a huge fan of her music and it is pretty generic which is why I don't get all the accolades. It's can be catchy if you're into that sort of stuff but it's nothing to write home about.
Alexander Turner

No. Any decrease in board quality is probably due to the fact that Holla Forums's userbase is growing. The faster a board goes the less time you'll have to carry out a good conversation>>2305132 Stop LARPing. This is a message board not a clandestine revolutionary organization harassed by Tsarists and secret police This board is primarily a place to vent, trade jpegs & pdfs, and catch up on left news & drama.
I'm leaning toward that, though as I previously mentioned I'll probably have to move for them I find it funny that, for a highly individualistic ideology, they all wind up converging on highly interchangeable edgelord identities
I don't know how else to describe fascists co-opting words like "indigenous" and "identity" in negative terms. Otherwise I agree

Hmm, britpol.xyz normally takes you to the active thread.
Exactly - it's a question of ideological selection and formation. It select for people with that identity, and then reinforces the tendencies of that ideology, which are inherently edgelord.
This is the real image problem of the left today. Not being associated with violent regimes of old, but rather being associated with idpozzed narcissists.
Wyatt Perry
Truecrypt incident was interesting, its still not clear what the fuck happened, if there was a major flaw and if anyone had found it before them. I'd suggest just installing virtualbox and putting a clean linux install in it with disk encryption turned on. Keep the virtual machine disconnected from the net and learn to use gpg.
I never understood how Brits could like the utopian concept of nationalism I've seen many nationalists endorse (somehow we all coexist for betterment of the nation and won't instantly lead to infighting between nationalist nations). Since their entire empire broke up (most often) due to nationalist tensions against the Brits. They've also got the Welsh, Scots, and Irish under their still which would want to break off leaving "Great Britain" with England. Also the dude from before who is high as shit right now, I can only really think in short concepts.

Glen Greenwald sat on the Snowden leaks for 6 months because he couldn't figure out how to use gpg. Don't be like Glen.
Ryder Rivera
It's essentially materialized ad-hoc to justify their positions. especially when they try sleight of hand like "any collective of people that compel others to act or kill others when not themselves under threat is a state."
"capitalism is just trade" i guess largely comes from ancaps combined with a bit of ideology towards the present system. (and not conceiving of it in totality, since you get even stupider things like "capitalism is democracy") "communism is a form of government" comes from missing the point of the USSR. (i.e. a state governed by a party with communist ideology is "communist", even if that state implements capitalist policies, although they then dance on a pin where China is communist because people kill themselves at work while it's capitalist because the XI AND DENG GANG dropped the poverty rate.) "basic economics" is usually pure ideology, an essentially religious appeal by someone who doesn't know any economics themselves (except randomly spouting a concept like "supply and demand!!!") to a higher power. Sometimes also it's people who read meme economics (i.e. Austrian) or who read real economics (i.e. even mainstream econ here) and don't really understand your own position. (i.e. they get stuck on "communism is a form of government.")
Noah Thomas
Oh no, definitely. You're best of joining in in condemning the target du jour. I've always know he was an abelist, scum! Until it's your turn, and if you still believe in the community then, you'll even write your own confession.
I've never been a weeaboo to be honest. I like a number of animes - and I seriously love them - but the genre itself doesn't do much for me. It's like plays - I like a good play, but I don't go to plays. The only medium I really love in itself is genre fiction.

True story, if you watch the Poitras documentary Snowden gives him a bunch of shit for it. He sent Greenwald an encrypted email telling him about the leaks but Greenwald couldn't figure out how to decrypt it so he just ignored it. Several months later Snowden gets in contact through other means, they release lots of stuff. Glen finally gets around to figuring out how to decrypt stuff while in China working with Snowden. Shows Snowden the email saying hey what do you think, sounds like this guy might have some good stuff. Snowden goes, yah that was me you retard.

Was it the one about the women who called out #metoo? I don't remember it in full, everyone is making references to the Moscow trials nowadays, so I lose track.

The author seemed more distraught about losing "muh gorilla mindset" than about the more fundamental injustice of these kinds of witch hunts and moral panics. Which is that they capricious as shit.

A lot of these arguments are prefabricated/canned responses borrowed wholesale from talk radio talking points anyway. There should be canned debunkings of them somewhere in the booru
Yeah that's it. Here it is: the-american-interest.com/2017/12/06/the-warlock-hunt/ OHBOYHEREWEGO.txt For a while Kio has produced a manga series called Spotted Flower. It's basically an alternate universe Genshiken Nidaime where Madarame marries Kasukabe, who previously broke up with Kousaka. The first major plot arc was where notMadarame and notKasukabe have a child. There are also a few changes with other characters. One of the big changes is that in the Spotted Flower universe, notHato is a MTF and is a lot more assertive in her notMada cock thirst. It comes up during the main pregnancy arc once but it's only really treated as a side story without much significance to the main plot. UNTIL right after notMadarame and notKasukabe finally have their child. Right after notKasukabe gives birth, notKousaka visits her in the hospital to give her his best wishes. notMadarame gets really fucking jealous and decides to go home and get drunk. Around that time, notHato visits notMadarame in his apartment. He confesses his feelings of inadequacy and jealousy while alone with notHato. One thing leads to another and the two embrace and (next to a new crib for notMadarame's son) start rutting like animals. notMadarame tries to put it in notHato, but he suddenly gets soft and can't get to home base. Out of frustration and horniness, notHato gets on top of notMadarame and proposes that s/he (the manga doesn't really make it clear how notHato actually identifies as a woman) penetrate notMadarame since that's been one of her big fantasies. There's a pause where no one says anything, but notMadarame eventually acquiesces to bottoming and turns over on the bed. Pan to sky On the next page, while notHato is cleaning up the bedroom with a spray bottle, notMadarame is sprawled out on a couch with a thousand yard stare and wondering if it counts as cheating because he was the one who got fucked
Kevin Evans
The left's strength is in our cultural tradition; that is, the vast and varied literature we have been gifted with. I think the only way to truly get the right "on side", as it were, is to consistently make reference to and provide links to this philosophical and economic tradition.
Merely stating that, "this very question is addressed at some length by Marx/Engels/Lenin/Kropotkin/Althusser/Adorno/Whoever". The only issue here is that, sadly, "The School of Life", a right wing infotainment/propaganda channel has made biographies of many intellectuals and has come to the conclusion that they were "wrong" without substantiating it, with other right wing youtube channels acting in much the same way, but other than that I think it's a good tactic to at least try and get them to read.
The "information war" has been incorrectly understood; the issue is not between different schools of thought trying to make their views the most prominent, it is instead a war aimed at making the workers actively hate particular ideas without ever being given even an incredibly charitable understanding of the system they live in.
We just need to get them to take the first step, to read authors promoting views they've been heavily propagandised into loathing, and then we'll be on the way to success. For, once there is a kernel of class consciousness within the proletariat at large, it will pass from one worker to another and a real movement will build. Or so one would hope. The potential is there, but as it stands it is latent; it needs to be harnessed, and the only way to do that is by teaching them leftist ideology and inducing within them class consciousness.
Christopher Roberts
Heresy, absolutely disgusting. It is entirely out of character as well, Madarame's entire arc is that he relaxes his rigidity not of passion because out of resignation.

It makes more sense when you apply a marxist critique. If you read the later chapters of the Nidaime manga it's not hard to see that Kio was setting up a MadaxHato end. There's several flags that hint at this ending. The question of who Mada would end up with was strung along for many chapters and culminated in an arc where the Genshiken drags Mada and his crushes on a club trip that was supposed to settle the issue and pair Mada off with either Sue, Hato, Sasahara's bitch of a sister and Angela. Each one of them confesses to Mada during the trip. Everyone got pissed off when, at the very end of this trip arc, Mada refuses to pick any candidate (but telegraphs that he has feelings for Sue) and calls the whole thing off. About two or three chapters later, Kio drops an ex machina in the form of Kasukabe who tells Mada to call and confess to Sue. He does and Nidaime ends soon after. This ending comes out of nowhere and runs against dozens of chapters of MadaxHato setup, and it's obvious the publishers probably made Kio change his plans. Kio even hints that Mada and Sue might have a hard time trying to make their relationship work, since at the very end Mada admits that he and Sue haven't done anything to consummate it and are still awkward around each other.
The Spotted Flower chapter came out soon after Nidaime ended. My guess is that Kio was alienated from the product of his own labour by meddling from management, and wrote the Spotted Flower chapter in rebellion once he was freed from his contractual obligations and could do what he wanted (since Spotted Flower is serialized in a magazine smaller than Nidaime' magazine).

Holla Forums has actually become insufferable. I want my old 4chan back.
Brayden Ross
Holla Forums was never sufferable.
David Taylor
Is it really a strength in an environment where functional illiteracy is so widespread?
Luke Ross
I agree, but I was referring to the rest of 4chan.
Eli Garcia
I agree, none of the boards I used to go on are enjoyable to me anymore other than occasionally /ck/.
Julian Adams
I fully agree that a Madarame and Hato pairing is signaled, that's not the part I'm objecting to. It is the setting up of the relation with Kasukabe first, having it deepen to involve a child, and then setting up a total betrayal. It is exactly here that the absence of a consummation of the latent desire would be more powerful dramatic expression of the true intention. It is better to have the coffee without cream.

so how about this, we open up a twitter acount, and the only thing the administrator does is to twit a location for when and where there is a facist meeting, the twits would have this structure "Central park 2pm local time #USA #newyork #newyork", this would be a way to communicate to local antifa where they should go, and of course the administrator would be a random neckbeard who had nothing to do with antifa
Imageboards are not going to get any better, right? I feel like normal users are just gradually getting fed with Holla Forumsyps and general degradation and leaving, I mean, that was kinda how it always was, the average 4chan user always used the site for less that two years. I wish there was a site to talk about hobbies that wasn't slow as fuck or full of idpol shit.

Parker Stewart
That is a perfect screencap to illustrate my point; thanks. Old people & kids ruin the internet for everyone else, I swear.
That was kind of part of the point. We asked for so absurdly little, yet journos saw fit to keep escalating it until it reached global mainstream news outlets. Some fingerwagging at the Kotaku cucker and a promise to disclose future conflicts of interest and all this sordid mess would never have happened. But it would violate a basic socjus directive: always double down.
As to going after the real niggotry in vidya like you mentioned, well that's what we would be doing because we know most of vidya's problem stem from capitalist economics, if only we had joined in before the reactionary vultures descended upon it.
Which brings me to why I keep doing this: it's just a matter of doing the right thing. GG was in the right, and that's all that matters.
I dunno man, Tumblr types really take it a step further. I mean I know there's a sort of fad about suicide humor and depression right now, but we know it stems from the very real problem of alienation. Tumblr, meanwhile, takes disorders of varying degrees of severity and turn them into identities, just more labels to make snowflakes more unique. Case in point: they're currently trying to set autism as a perfectly viable and healthy "neurotype". Not long ago, ealy identitarians were doing it with deafness. Seriously, google for "Deaf culture". These Tumblr types are close to being a public health hazard like those eating disorder forums, if they aren't already.
Fair point. But you know how the internet can focus and make people coalesce around around something. Holla Forums itself being another perfect example. The alt-right wouldn't even exist without internet culture war.
Dunno, my experience with SJWs marks them as extremely hypocritical, which is related to how damn many of those damn male allies turn out to be molesters. And I can tell you for a fact that certain central figures of Weird Twitter who make a living clutching pearls over Republicans did often and still do troll, dox, harass etc. people.
Well I say imageboards are more conducive to debate than Tumblr, Twitter and Reddit, but that's not exactly a high bar. Still, Holla Forums reads like fucking Nicomachean Ethics compared t those other platforms.
I wish some enlightened souls more familiar with semiotics and web design than I am would brainstorm a platform aimed explicitly at civilized debate.
We'll agree to disagree on this one then. I mean I know Holla Forums is filled with pod people in human suits, but I'd say the socjus corner of the internet is much more voluminous in more ways than one
A good point. Ironic internet contrarianism, commodified and bred as a demographic to peddle outrage to. It does sound possible, considering how marketers unleashed the geek chic fad not too long beforehand.
Oh I have no doubt that SJWs are in part a just-add-water demographic for marketers of all sectors to goad into buying useless shit, even if socjus itself is older than SJWs and will outlive them. Consumerism mixed with identitarianism; what you buy defines what you are defines what you buy. After some time (sooner rather than later I hope), SJWs will be remembered as yet another fad. Cue future people posting and laughing at those rainbow corporate logos.
Pseudonimity really is a different beast than either anonymity and identity. The latter tends to make the person to behave the same way he normally would, but on a blank slate of a community. The former makes the person rather fluid, seeing as there's no social cache to be lost or gained, as the slate becomes blank again in every thread, or even the same thread. As for which one fosters better debate, it would take a mind bigger than mine to determine.
Robert Lee
2/2 wew, really gotta reply more often
I recall there's a website that guesses the sex and age range of a community based on writing style, and it said the same thing about old Holla Forums.
But the only one that did that was the head admin's buttbuddy, whom he made mod specifically to shit LF up.
I imagine you mean SA as being in decline, because I think LF was on the rise by the end of 2007, having been created earlier that year I think, to unclog all the Ron Paul shit from D&D, and reached its apex with the 2008 election campaign. After that started the decline, accelerated by an admin with e-penis envy. If you were there during the ascension and climax and didn't like it, well I guess you missed out.
Yeah it really has reached a ridiculous degree. It's a disturbing situation related to something we talked about before in this thread, about signal and noise. In our media-suffused culture, it's getting harder and harder to separate the signal from the noise, and possibly the ratio is getting worse. That's already a huge problem in any situation. But the vidya press has become so absurdly awful that it has become literally impossible to even discern signal from noise. Everyone knows that a shitload of their content is shilling and advertorials, but the crux of the matter is, you can't know which ones. Sure, some are obvious, but we hav no idea how many fly under the radar. Such a system is literally useless, or arguably worse than useless, because you may act on noise which you mistakenly thought was signal. The only sane options are to abandon it entirely or rebuild it. We hoped for the latter, but alas.
The alt-right and the SJWs have completely broken Hanlon's razor.
Read Umberto Eco's essay on ur-fascism. They start from a goal: they are or deserve to be part of a supposedly elite segment of society but are being kept down by Jews or communists or whomever, and then work their way backwards, searching an argument to support that nonsensical conclusion. You may have noticed that fascism attracts a lot of frustrated people and what we now call failsons. Not exactly a race of titans here. Add in the actually successful people, porkies, priests, aristos and others reactionaries who feel disenfranchised and oppressed, and the only uniting thread between them all, that makes them all part of a utterly arbitrary elite, is a privilege none of them had to work for: race and/or nationality.
But who judges which one is the revisionist and which one is the proper socialist? There's no objective standard here, and debate most likely will not achieve perfect consensus. There will always be socialist groups "acting according to their own conscience", regardless whether that will help or harm socialism in the future. Lenin himself didn't antagonize other socialists or anarchists in principle, leaving their differences to the field of arguments. It would be fine if the Mensheviks and SRs would have joined the political process, but instead they chose to abandon it and act physically against the new State. Time and again, many of them tried to sell the revolution out or sabotage it, not out of malice but because they thought themselves the real socialists, noble rebels against the betrayers of Marxism called Bolsheviks. The same moral conviction that leads so many people to the left ends up being the source of its divisiveness and metaphorical and literal in-fighting. It's a tough nut to crack.
It's possible that, in being the only interactive art, it does fill a gap in us that yearn to have goals to stride towards and to make visible and clear progress. This wouldn't be such a problem, if we weren't living in times when community is nearly dead, isolation and alienation are rampant and it's generally impossible to accomplish much due to the weird conditions of LSC.
But then again, if the journos actually have a poin, they stumbled on it completely by accident, that much I know.
I wouldn't say product, but it's extremely likely that at some point they saw the potential for COINTELPRO and dove right in.

Isaac Edwards
See . The sources in the pic are ass pulled burger claims from the Red Scare era. It is technically true that a disproportionate number were Jews, but this is because they had strong incentives to join far left causes. The late Russian Empire was grossly incompetent and aristocrats tried to redirect blame to Jews when civil unrest started to put the screws to them.

Denmark here. What really really confirmed this for me was the teachers lockout we had in 2013. As well as the wave of privatizations since 2000. A lot of people seem completely ignorant of it too. Basically an 'I've got mine' mentality. It breaks my heart to think about the thousands of workers who have struggled and suffered so that we can live in the relative security we have. It's like people think that all these improvements were given out of kindness by the bourgeois and establishment.

there are probably discords but those are shitposting circlejerks. (still glad they displaced IRC for that function, the one time i'll countenance a private sector pseudomonopoly.)
if you're into humiliation fetish stuff look at Britain's balance of trade figures.
my apologies in advance for the truncated nature of my reply even though it's actually quite long in wordcount terms. i can't really remember my train of thought since the posts from before are gone. Hoping you engage with my later critique that Gamergate's status as a collective of individual experiences means that this sort of record correction is much harder to justify than my own obsession with the matter in a historical-economic sense. (THAT'S MY JUSTIFICATION AND I'M STICKING TO IT.) I mean, when we consider how little you asked for, the fact you asked so loudly in relative terms is notable. I suppose in an inverse sense it's the NAP Violation problem inverted, where the problem is that it does look disproportionate when you react to a single tiny thing by shouting when the problem has been building up for a long time. Nonetheless, there's little in that base understanding to actually warrant sympathy for the movement. The reactionary vultures are the same people, though. An ethical producerist approach ("Capitalism is fine, but we need environmental regulations.") could easily support the economic system while pretending to care about it's excesses. What were necessary were liberals, not communists nor even social democrats. What we saw instead was the result of a movement made up of idiots. I mean there's a tangential thought here: Do you know how many normal people don't actually give a fuck about videogames? Like, this astounds me. Loads of normal youngish people just don't give a fuck. It's actually quite impressive and I daresay I respect them for it. Most of the ones I've encountered are of course Liberal, which is the more interesting absence here. Communists you at least know do have something better to do. (Argue about whether Marx would endorse using scissors to cut nails, or specially designed clipper things. By the way it's totally scissors.)
But then I'd rather argue about furry porn copyrights than DLC so whatever. nah nothing matters man gotta be nihilist. (except defending social democracy WHICH IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FOR THE REASONS I DESCRIBED ABOVE.)
Joshua Wright
this isn't a new thing and blaming it specifically on tumblr is quite myopic, especially when dealing with a group like autists. the same is broadly true of deaf culture. I mean I think part of the thing with the internet is conversely, we've forgotten how weird people are. The Amish exist and actually do Amish stuff, not because they're autistic or even because they've got a condition like deafness that forces lifestyle changes, they just voluntarily decide to be really weird.
same is true of Holla Forums though although i can't remember what i was actually saying here. undoubtedly, though the same is again true of imageboards, and national newspapers. leftypol is a very special case in imageboard terms, it's basically in the sweet spot for size and has a specific filter in terms of ideology to at least truncate the most insufferable of the stupid out. i'd say it's called academic journals but the keynesian gang got bullied out of those in the 1980s so maybe not. will tag on a tangential point that even if we ignore scale, the problem is that Holla Forums appears where we (or at least i) appear, while SJWs are basically something that float around in the abstract. most likely they'll continue to exist while also being defined as somehow unique to 'this generation' as a way of commodifying and alienating people at the same time. (good god if people genuinely nostalgia over this period when living in a worse one i promise to top myself.)
this actually makes it trivial though: just don't read them. i mean, i can't tell if i'm crazy but i literally don't read the real news, let alone gaming news. i still find out everything i need to know. though this does implicitly entail a dependence on Holla Forums if for some reason i cared about games released now. (though you have people pretending to be shills to be contrarian, of course.)

Holy shit guys, started reading Capital earlier and it's fucking incredible. At the risk of sounding a brainlet, other than school and uni textbooks, I haven't actually ever read a proper book (I'm 19 so I feel like I should've by now) and even though I'm only about a chapter into the book, it's actually really engaging and interesting.
I haven't even got to what are said to be the most involving and masterfully written parts of the book (those being the chapters detailing the working day, societal evolution, capital accumulation and the like).
Thing is, while I'm really enjoying Capital and want to read more Marx now, I know absolutely no philosophy so "The German Ideology" and his materialism stuff intimidates me a bit.

The bit about linking Twitter is quite interesting for the wrong reasons. In some ways the market-oriented "do it for attention" way seems better than what the mainstream newspapers in Britain do, where they'll give people's details not to advertise the paper but because they almost certainly genuinely want those people to be harassed.
Their advice in the Jews is fascinating though, particularly to have it said out loud and to recognize implicitly that it's not true (even though there's the psychological cover that it's "pretty much objectively true"
hmm where have i seen this before hmm… I've got it! The war against the Soviets will be won within 2 months with Aryan magic!
Obviously the Jews did this.

Parker Nelson
They're pissed that there's a billion cringy images of them out there from Kekistan rallies and other protests, so they spam that image again and again. It's pure damage control, just like the zombie fetishist who punched Spencer.

Thing is, Twitter is an awful platform for even looking at titties. The content posted is meant to be ephemeral and archival/sorting of some good posts is consequently hard to do I mean if you just want to search #hentai #titties and rub one out to the first good pic you see then I guess twitter works, if you also get into the habit of saving everything afterwards and you also don't really care about finding the source artist half the time

I see you are still uninitiated to the wonderful world of high quality theme aggregators. There are twitter channels devoted just to posting the best and newest pictures of Ran Yakumo.

Instead you can have an army of your own personal porn autists curating it for you. The best ones even link to the original every time.

I'm aware of them. Any kind of porn that requires me to find it on a central server is porn that's on borrowed time. The account may deactivate or get suspended. It's like with video games that require a connection to a central server just to work, you never know when you'll search for it only to find it gone. I do think they have a place in the wide world of H, but I've only ever used them to find new lewds whenever my typical collection does nothing for me or I just want something I haven't seen before. Once I find a really good artist, I do the bulk of my collecting through boorus/pixiv or e-hentai.

Most people who aren't justifiably cynical and tuned-out don't fucking care about policy.

This is actually something that horrifies me when I visit /pdfs/ to see if someone's dropped something good in amongst all the "why hitler was actually good" and "to learn basic economics first read mises and hayek, this will totally teach you some meaningful macro" bullshit,
Just sit for a moment and imagine that people are actually reading this trash. Just sit and comprehend someone sitting and reading tens, hundreds of books and thinking "I am getting smarter" while progressively killing off every braincell they have. Just fucking imagine how horrifying that is as a concept. With physical books you can at least say "eh, it's just LARPing and virtue signalling, he probably barely made it through reading the back of the book", but with pdfs? maybe they just get passed around and nobody reads them. maybe it's fine. maybe. maybe not…

That's a difference you have to make for yourself, though. I mean, if we sat and ran through their stuff, we'd just find how silly most of it is and probably share screenshots and laugh at it. The problem is that on their end, it's been read in the pursuit of genuine knowledge. If you don't go in cynical, you won't get the right result unless you're already skilled at critical thinking and have your wits about you - and if you have those traits, odds are you aren't the kind of person to read such a book seeking knowledge in the first place.
lest that sound smug, I'm not entirely convinced I am that sort of person. It is, indeed, the reason I have held off on ever reading "The New Totalitarians" despite the appeal of the basic concept - because I believe it will be a reactionary assault on Swedish Social Democracy rather than an interesting romp through social technocracy with a human face. While I don't think I'd pick up many overt prejudices as a result, the idea of certain instincts slipping through or leading down false trails is a risky one. Also I am first and foremost a lazy person.

There is a civic nationalist aspect, TL;DR: Three Principles of the People: Nationalism - aka Enlightenment populist or jacobin nationalism, with chinese characteristics. Democracy: Basically Sun Yat Sen created a system of government in the Chinese tradition with five branches, not 3. Also a fan of referenda, Social economics (sometimes translated as The Social Economy or Socialism): Actually just Georgism with Chinese Characteristics. So not worker ownership of the MoP, but popular ownership of land.
It is basically a form of nationalistic social democracy that doesn't actually suck balls. I mean if you are ambivalent of democracy and hate nationalism perhaps that is why, but Sun yat Sen was a good egg who was dialectical so most folks 'round here like him.

If I was making a cake for my ancom/anfem gf's birthday should I go red and purple velvet with black icing or black velvet with red and purple icing?
Given how the BO used to act I think it's likely they had a mental breakdown sometime around early 2017. We've also had an influx of obnoxious MLs from twitter or reddit who don't really fit with the established culture of the board and created some drama.
I don't really think you could consider most people's belief systems in any way settled before age 25

Chase Martinez
The big thing with infographics is that few people actually read them end to end, including the people who post them. Yes, you will get one person in a thread with some cursory familiarity with the data and underlying sources. But these infographics aren't meant to educate, they exist to create a spectacle. Specifically, they try to dress up racial supremacy in the language and aesthetic of science.
Look at the thumbnails: you have the actual message seeking to discredit anti-racist beliefs in big black print on a white background for easy visibility. These beliefs are labeled "myths." Below that you have either a chart, a nice-looking diagram, or a big block quote. Something that, at first glance, might not look out of place in a high school science textbook. It's all dressed up to make the fascist look like the smart guy educating the stupid liberals, socialists or brainwashed sheep.
The fascist using these infographics will demand that you debate him on his terms. "Can you cite a source disproving my sources?" By the time you've dug up a source, the infographic has already has its intended effect. The smart aut-righter posted the holy science gospel and confronted the degenerate leftist, who couldn't retort (within a couple of minutes) and slunk off in defeat without reply.
Just so my own message isn't understood: This is 99% spectacle The only way to win is to fuck up the aut-righter's narrative by creating your own. What said is, in most cases, the best solution unless you have your own infographics specifically disproving what your opponent has posted. Bog him down in questions to ascertain how familiar he is with his own source material: General questions: Questioning the source publication: Study validity/reproducibility >Has the study been tested by an independent researcher or team of researchers within the same field? (You can drag out/derail a conversation with this one alone if you have enough of a background in social sciences and are well-versed on the Replication Crisis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis) Presentation of data Follow ups:
Most of the people who fuck with infographics will stumble or get mad when you pin them down with these questions. Keep asking questions until they blow up and regress to childish behaviour. And avoid insults or profanity, your goal here is to make the other guy look like he doesn't know what he's talking about.
That's still not how you do citations from Science. You can't expect people to read the entire fucking Science journal in entirety just to find the source for the data.
I have literally no idea what the conversation is about or what the graph even is about. I just saw that poor excuse for a citation and had to address it.
Dylan Ramirez
meh fair enough, I just got the photo from some online version of an early 2000s Quebec textbook, so the "source:science" is probably just poor French-English translation, and do in the future address this kind of bullshit

Well, if you're interested I found the original Economist article. It cites a guy called Dr. (Luigi Luca) Cavalli-Sforza and goes on to say: economist.com/node/2854 I agree, it's an awful citation. I had to hunt down the guy's Stanford webpage to find what might possibly be the real source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8430313 Google searches do cite those figures of 85% in relation to this researcher, so my guess is that some bumbling Economist journalist fucked up the citation to meet deadline.

This gives rise to the point that some Europeans are closer to Africans than they are to someone else from Europe. Which is true, because you might be the one guy with gene T. But this doesn't change the basic idea that Europeans in general don't have gene T.
Liam Gonzalez
can you move the goalposts harder than that lmao like said, regardless of how true that is it barely matters (especially when you reduce it to that bare minimum)
Angel Hughes
However even this is a sop. The appearance and innards of an black man are both African. They occur together and you can only change that via racemixing (i.e you might have a man with African skin genes but European nevous system genes). The second link is 80% an explaination about the traditionally racist roots of anthropology and how both sides of the debate got hijacked by personal politics, which is true. The only thing here that might be taken as 'race is just a construct and doesn't impact behaviour' is the section that claims 'Genes certainly do not directly interact with what we think of as human behavior.'. and proceeds to pontificate on how human behaviour is the result of muh complexity and muh choice
It is almost universally agreed that genes have a strong influence on behaviour. In fact, the more we've come to understand and identify parts of the genome, the stronger assertion this has become, to the point that people are even beginning to wonder if most behaviour isn't genetically influenced. Genes predict if you're liable to be a criminal, to be religious, to be conservative or liberal, to be smart or dumb, to want to rape, to be sexually compatible with a given other person, and so on. And given that 'race' is simply a collection of genes that occur in one human population and not in others (and the ones that are shared also occur in different frequencies in those populations), you can rationally assert that 'race' does in fact influence behaviour.
Levi Johnson
So why are there wars of religion in the middle east all the time? Why do we get told all the time that there is ethnic tension in Africa because of wrong borders imposed by Europeans? Should africans get over their idpol too?
Ethan Flores
I would ask: Plus what said, so what? Though I think his phrasing needs work. We shouldn't be asking questions in this case, we should be stating that we don't care, genetic differences don't change universal human morality. Force them to say the unspoken consequence of their conclusions.
Gavin Ross
There are constantly wars in the middle because we topple all of the secular regimes, and when people are impoverished they tend to turn to religion. Why do you think the wars are happening? because arabs are zealots? it would be ideal but its probably not going to happen soon.

Ryder Howard
I get that this might not be the place to ask, but I don't want to start a thread and then get banned, so I'll ask here.
Basically, I thought I had a decent grasp of Use-Value vs Exchange-Value, and the money form of value, until a conversation online which made me question it. I couldn't tell if I was right or if I was incorrect, so I'll lay out my understanding here.
Essentially, I recognise Use-value as the value of a commodity insofar as it fulfils a particular human want, whereas exchange-value is where the social substance deposited in the commodity, i.e. labour in the abstract, is made apparent, and in this way Exchange-value is the means by which Value manifests itself, in the use-value of another commodity. Exchange-value does not exist unless the commodity is placed in a social relationship with another commodity (or, at that, the world of commodities). Now, when I think of exchange value in its simplest sense, I think of the precise quantity of one commodity that can be exchanged for a precise quantity of any another commodity (i.e. x commodity A = x commodity B). Commodity A, being the relative form, can have its Value determined by this relation in the bodily form of commodity B (in B's use-value), this is because commodity B's presence here as a use-value (that is, its bodily form) is here merely the manifestation of undifferentiated human labour, and thus serves not as a use value, but as a representation of congealed human-labour of no concrete form. This is one of the "peculiarities" of the equivalent form.
Now, the issue here was with price. Money being a universal equivalent, I said that price must approximate to Value (though there will be fluctuations based upon supply and demand), whereas the other guy said both that "price is exchange-value", and "price does not approximate to value". To me this made no sense, because the universal equivalent was meant to express the value of any commodity in the General Form of Value, and if money is the universal equivalent it must act the same way as any other equivalent, for there is nothing unique about it in and of itself.
Am I wrong here, and if so where? I'm only a beginner with Marxian economics so sorry if this is a stupid question.
Hudson Cooper

Colton Hernandez
very good post, although I further feel like I have some innate "fascist tendencies" in terms of use of information or commitment to intellectual consistency, although that might just be the natural consequence of bourgeoisie politics at large becoming partially melded with the advertising industry.
Incidentally as a fun cunt thing I've thought of: whenever the right talk about "basic economics" ask for an academic economic paper to back up their wider point. This does several fun things. (1) It implies you're familiar with economics at an academic level, (2) it questions the "obviousness" of their assumptions by requesting serious data rather than weird Austrian scrawling about how we can prax it out that people are naturally cunts and cutting spending ends recessions, even if such a paper exists they're probably not economists and won't be able to find it. (3) if they do actually find one the effort to reward ratio of their post will far exceed yours, i.e. you will waste their time, and can continue to do so if you desire. (For example you could always go full cunt reversal - request a serious academic paper, then when they find one pick a graph or equation at random and then say "Oh, this is stupid and wrong - read Steve Keen" and post Debunking Economics. If they complain, you can always then say - for example - "I read your source, you read all of mine…) and of course (4) for every economic paper you'll probably find an equal and opposite economic paper with a different conclusion, if you're at university and want to spend all night digging and bluffing.
It's a reference to an octopus used by the NSA or some other US SIGINT operation if I remember right. I assume it's put in voluntarily akin to MADE BY Holla Forums GANG except if it was stupid and not cool.
for all they go on about "our fathers" i get the impression they had terrible relationships with their fathers and probably haven't even ever gone FISHIN'
Jaxson Lewis
Vaguely authoritarian thought: taking everyone's kids off them and having the state raise them with only occasional parental visits would be good because boarding schools exist and the rich kids who go there don't seem completely dysfunctional as a result. By doing so you could then weaken the generational advantages wealth entails, especially if schools are distributed randomly instead of on a geographic basis. (This too has the advantage of fostering greater experience with the country at large, as rich southern students find themselves living in Scotland or Yorkshire, even if they will return "home" later on.)
If we only did it for the younger years I think it would make a fascinating experiment. (By doing this you slightly lower the authoritarian fear of the idea while also possibly still achieving the bulk of the social goal.)

present familial relations are an economic arrangement arising out of capitalism t.

Quick blog. Would like some (You)'s.
just turned 25, still live with mom, just me and her, decent size house, NEET, pay her rent with money I saved up from working last year, with run out soon, need to make money, could try sign on, or get part time job, or full time job, despise working, do it for nothing but the money to live, no interest in climbing the ladder, will take years, if I'm lucky, and, and this parts important, country currently going through a rent crisis, so I wouldn't be able to move out even if I did get a good full time job, or I could but it would be in a small place with multiple people and would cost shit loads, so may as well stay here in this decent sized house with my mom, and try to ignore the social stigma, anyways lots of people my age and younger are in the same situation so it's fine, so most rational choice seems to be part time job, but if I could sign on and get free money without them bothering me I would, never done it before tho, do they just give you money?, then the lack of working could pile up, and it would be harder to get a job in the future, but can't tell if I even care about that, or if I should, I'm only 25, I should stop worrying.

Lol I just turned 25 yesterday too, I feel like most of the "chan community" were the same age when we first started browsing and have aged with each other. It reflects the change from shitposting to politics too; adolescence.
Also in the same position albeit with a shitty zero-hour contract job doing security for hotels.
Jace Robinson
I feel like I have to change something now because 25 is a multiple of 5
Where do you think the chans will go next? Feels like there's been a political slump since Trump has proven himself to be so unsatisfying to literally everyone, and Charlottesville

I'm gonna be 26 in January, going to graduate university after 6 years part time with having taken a year off because I was doing a lot of drugs and a year off to take care of my mom when she went through chemo. There's nothing wrong with living with your parents, that's a situation a lot of proles our age are in due to high rent costs and low wage jobs. Never been on neetbux and worked since I was 16, work sucks but you have to do it if you want to survive in this capitalist hell. I'd go looking for a job and try to get a degree or go to trade school, trade school matters but outside of stem or law degrees don't matter outside of looking better when job hunting, I'm an econ major and won't be employed as an analyst or some shit but gonna try to make films or end up doing porn. Start lifting too because that helps you focus and with anxiety.

Did you mom died? The reason it's just me and mine in this house is cos my Dad died of cancer when I was 16, and I'm not sure I ever got over it. A few months ago my mom tried to get me to see a therapist because I'm so a-social. I was super reluctant because it would cost her a lot of money. She said it was fine. I told her I'd go. I never did.
I'd murder for some freelance-type job that I could do where and when I liked, like writing, even if it didn't pay much.

Reproduction and the raising of children should entirely be under the purview of the state tbh (obviously I mean a Technocratic state). Modern technology already allows for the creation of life to be an effectively automated and industrial process. Beyond a one time material collection drive, we should hopefully be able to untangle our species from the burden of reproduction altogether.
Just imagine how wonderful it would be to have entire factories producing children in perfect genetic health. Imagine how much better the mental and physical health of children raised in state run facilities staffed by experts would be compared to the dross we produce now. Frankly, we owe it to our species to effectively nationalise reproduction, child care and education.

True, but I always wind up getting sucked into whatever I'm doing. Then my obsession with getting it done on time and better than most others usually spas all the fun out of the activity while adding more work to the point where it becomes a stressful chore. I usually give up and just go back to wasting time on image boards, which is about as effortless an activity as possible. Even watching anime requires more motivation than I can muster these days.
I feel like religion would serve a meditative purpose for me but I'd have to pretend to believe and don't want to live as a fraud

Jaxon Price
Alienating from what exactly? Guided by experts and in the embrace of the state is the ideal way to raise children.
Imagine kids not longer having to grow up in poverty, no longer being abused or neglected by parents, not having to worry about housing or food and being able to enjoy 24/7 access to mental/physical health specialists. It is a simple fact that a Technocratic state would provide a higher quality of live for the average child then what any parent would be able to.

I would normally agree with you but the leap from "staff" to "black dick" is so absurd it is obviously a sign of deep seated insecurities. Also it should be noted that the image was created before the movie had even been released. It was one of the reasons for the boycott attempt.

They should. But beyond that, whenever you hear a far-away conflict being explained as "Muslims v. Christians", "ethnic group a v. ethnic group b", "orcs v. humans", there might be an underlying factor they are not telling you about. Like how a local strongmen is backed by a certain corporation and is chasing people of their land so the corporation can start mining there. Or that it is not so much a conflict between groups as a conflict between the elites of those groups, typically with backing of various outside governments. When this is the case, just chalking it up to ethnic conflict, or to Europeans drawing shitty borders, is actually further obscuring the true complexity of foreign societies while at the same time wallowing in white guilt.
I do have to confess that I have found some people in the 13-18 age range physically attractive, and I don' think that's a pathological attraction. Not to say that it should be socially normalized of course. Plus, any conversation with a 15 y/o will quickly dissuade you from whatever attraction you previously held. They are barely human tbqh.
Right in the feels. Sometimes when people ask me what I did on a free die, I lie about gaming and watching tv, because it would not do to toll them I was mostly shitposting.

Speaking of psychoanalysis, no, I should say psychology, what a shitty segue attempt, I'm deeply sorry, Beatrice Wright just turned 100: jungewelt.de/artikel/323703.die-pionierin-aus-der-arbeitsvermittlung.html (link in German). I didn't know she was still alive. Around the time of WWII, she worked in a state agency for employment, her task was specifically to help people with disabilities finding jobs. She later did ground-breaking research about how society interacts with disabled people and how they see themselves. She moved the perspective of disability as something simply intrinsic to the person to something which is in many ways determined by society. For example, how bad you really have it when you are in a wheelchair strongly depends on the infrastructure and architecture around you and how people relate to you. Her son is the sociologist Erik Olin Wright.

A minor thought: In terms of viewing economics as a whole from a social democratic perspective, there would seem to be a personal incentive against surplus*, that is to say that in an ideal social democratic society every consumer would pay the maximum they were willing to pay for a good, and every producer would sell at the lowest price they were willing to accept, with the intermediate point being made up of taxation at some hypothetical perfect level (assuming a simplified model where taxation is necessary to balance budgets in the long run.) so that the state can provide large scale public services rather than leaving people to use surplus elsewhere.
*that is in the sense of consumer and producer surplus - consumer surplus is when you would pay $5000 for Marx's manuscripts and find them forgotten somewhere for $5, and producer surplus is where a reproduction Marx manuscript producer sells you repro manuscripts for $5000 when he would gladly have sold them even at $5. In the social democratic society we can imagine therefore that you would pay $5000, but that $4995 of that would be taxation to provide healthcare, railways, beautiful white elephants, brutalist structures, and enough priests to keep the witches away, instead of having you take the $4995 to spend on your purposes, or the producer take it and spend it elsewhere.
Wyatt Anderson
There is a lot wrong with those images. Take the last line in the first one: "the culture of the working class [is] … traditionalist". This is obviously not true - traditionalists love nothing more than bitch and whine about the habits of the working class, and blame their material conditions on their customs. A recent infamous example is "Hillbilly Elegy". There sure a lot of right wing tendencies in the working class historically, notably xenophobia, but to identify the working class with traditionalism is a blatant lie.

it's more that the 'tradition' of traditionalists is unfailingly aristocratic or bourgeois tradition. which is amusing in its own way, considering how cosmopolitan aristocracy and the bourgeois was before the age of nationalism

This just has me thinking how impressive it is that despite the shift towards neoliberalism the French got a 35 hour work week through. An interesting argument (though not one I hold) is that we did actually get our working time reduced significantly, but that the reduction took place in our leisure time instead of work time. (i.e. a washing machine means no more spending hours washing by hand, a microwave means meals in seconds rather than hours, and so on.)

If you're talking about the specific research journal named Science then you're trading some physical capital for the social capital that comes with having an article in an A-list journal. If you have THAT, then it's (theoretically) easier to go to grant committees, big pharma, etc. and get larger grants to recoup the costs of paying for the article's publication, plus fund additional research. A less charitable view would label this a pyramid scheme…
Funny enough, the last time I was on a plane it was the most productive two hours I've had in months. And I don't mean productive in that I got tons of work done, no. I just found myself magically able to concentrate on reading manga the moment I couldn't connect to the internet anymore. I've just become so accustomed to spending my time posting that it's nothing for me to hop on 4/8chon or whatever and waste an entire day posting. It's my default setting and the feels caused by a wasted day just reinforces my desire to numb myself with more posting. Plus, what if I decide to walk away from this board? What will I miss? I can't really have the conversations I have here in real life, without my family misunderstanding me or my idpozzed peers jumping down my neck for the odd thoughtcrime. So I decide to just check the catalog to see if I've missed anything. Bam, five hours later I'm in bed drafting massive essays at 2AM. Who cares, it's not like tomorrow will be any different. /blog

Schopenhauer's work was literally, unironically, emphatically incel-philosophy.
"Directly after copulation the devil's laughter is heard" "Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place." "[Pic Related]" -Arthur Schopenhauer

Schopy didn't offer much in the way of serious critique of Hegel, he just moaned.

Since I realized this was a rant I moved this to here TLDR: I do a rant about why ancaps are hardly strutized and sometimes praised for their retarded ideology in non-extreme Politics, if they aren't flat out ignored completely
Why is it that AnCaps get positive views from online when the worst strutteny they get is for being Anarchists [although that is often ignored since ancaps love to promote how nonviolent they are (even if they also promote the "physical removal crap" which everyone is okay with because muh gommunism)].
(Note this list is for ideologies that will often be known by someone who hasn't studied politics and probably from supporters of the "horseshoe theory") -AnComs and co get called Oxymorons, associated with Punk Anarchists, or "pussies lol" (while simultaneously bring a threat to society) -Non-ML Marxists get Le famine joke, "not real communism XDDDDDD" thrown at them, plus iPhone argument, or thrown the image from that "let's buy a Che shirt to be hip!" """""Communist"""""" -MLs get called genocidal maniacs and iphone argument, and the image -Nazis online get to just "pretend to be edgy" if they're anywhere that isn't serious discussion in which case they get harassed like no tomorrow -Non-Nazi fascists get called Nazis (and it's always negative unless among fascists)
But AnCaps (if they're even brought up) as mentioned before are considered "a okay" in "conventional politics" even if the followers are likely to abandon it in favor of protecting property rights as fascists. As well as people forgetting that so many ancap philosophers had a promotion of being pedos, selling your fucking children, or promoting child labor. I know this is kind of a rant but fucking come on, of all the political extremes ancaps somehow get to be off scottfree in every single instance if not by another extreme. To the point that they're considered to be "the only real Anarchists" by conventional politics.
Ian Parker
Lol what a slave.
Anthony Stewart
Really only in the internet echo chamber, though.
Nicholas Butler
Yeah I understand that. AnCaps except at a lolbert rally are unheard of when it comes to politics even if they are just lolberts with more pro-corporateness
Tyler Gomez
Because lolberts have spent years astroturfing, seeing as they're the lite version of ancaps it only stands to reason that ancaps benefit from this extensive PR campaign. There's also the fact they don't exist irl, while all the others you mentioned do and some do embarrassing shit.
Lucas Cook
Well the one correction is ancaps do exist irl because "Le based stickman" was a voluntarist which are AnCaps who willingly want to be fucked in the ass and at least are less delusional than their "I'll be a business owner in the completely privatized world because free market"
I have a lolbert from Arkansas arguing with an eastern euro who lived in a former Soviet Republic, the lolbert is talking about how HORRIBLE socialism was while the eastern euro is promoting it. Anyone got some shit I could use to help the friend? If you want the exact wording from the lolbert here it is which started the fight
Euro: "you wanna here a funny joke (15 space bar pressed later) capitalism being a good economic system" Lolbert: "Ummmm,,,,I don't hear the USSR being the number 1 economic super power? oh wait it collapsed due to it shitty economic system known as socialism because it was way to big to support such idea.."

dislike how bitcoin weirdos refer to real money as "fiat" has an irritating sense of smug superiority or "i know something you don't" to it, combined with the obvious lolbertarian implications of drawing constant attention to the fiat nature of actual money. (i.e. ersatz goldbuggery.)
I'd say most of them joined the actual labour force. I mean, the increase in unemployment isn't the result of increased supply via women joining the workforce en-masse. The growth in unemployment has other causes. (Mostly to do with economic policy.) Even then if you put paid and unpaid labour together, you could well conclude that a woman working 9-5 has netted substantial gains compared to being a housewife who may well in aggregate work more than 8 hours. (There will indeed be some workless hours - but consider that without modern pre-prepared meals it may well be the case that you start working on dinner at 3 or 4pm, to be served at 5-6pm.) Have a chart in blur-o-vision, though again I don't share the essential conclusions of many of those who write such articles which is "you've got your reduced working hours, so shut up" Hope French Unions destroy Macron before he destroys them.

two birds one stone idea: severely weaken UK copyright laws. advantage 1: copyright is shit advantage 2: American companies won't want to sell their material in the UK because it will be trivial to pirate it and possibly to re-pirate it (i.e. have the lax laws of UK copyright impose a licence agreement that is very lax on copying - and then when a Brit copies it, that lax licence agreement follows the copy, meaning when a non-Brit obtains that copy the same lax licence applies.), meaning that Britain will consume a much greater proportion of cultural goods domestically, or develop an extensive system of piracy increasing consumer spending power on other (again hopefully domestic) goods.

I don't think it'd leverage as much fun if you were doing it on Twitter to sell deodorant. Would be fun in small bursts though.
always find statements like "you are powerful" and "you matter!" supremely disempowering, they're essentially asserted as a substitute for material reality.
maybe it's just because while others are willing to believe that asserting things makes them true, and indeed i'm willing to argue that collective agreement negates "true reality" in some cases, but that in this circumstance it's essentially announced to mitigate the fact it isn't actually true. we are less powerful than we have been in decades. for all the "you can start a revolution from your phone!" bullshit, we live in a world where you can no longer start a strike from your employer's door, where you must beg the rich and market yourself to their tastes as a human commodity. we are weak and we are fungible.

very true. think there's some fascinating thought to be done on the interaction between cuteness in a personality/psychological sense, and realism. The two would seem highly incompatible for reasons I can't quite cohere. i would however raise the possibility that any mental anguish she experiences may well be more severe than mine, since there is alienation from the true cause of the misery. (i.e. if she doesn't get a job, she may well blame herself for not presenting herself appropriately or such, while i would blame a lack of full employment policies even if i made my lack of enthusiasm very clear at an interview.) this is of course a blatant lie but it's a thought that helps tide things over between the flowers for algernon dream episodes.
to end on a point: are you saying she actually believes it, rather than simply wanting to believe it and being able to overcome the cynicism that prevents me from even trying?
remember reading something - almost certainly initially from leftypol or closely related - about how self-help books, etc, often feed into this, since they too tell you essentially the same thing - here's the trick to making friends, being employed, etc, but if it doesn't work the trick works fine and you have fucked up.
Jordan Miller
My thinking going into the post was centered around the idea that she believes it. In reality, I'm a bitter enough person to think that she can actually believe it or overcome any significant amount of cynicism. I would assume she wants to believe it and is willing to exert a lot of effort to ignore any doubts. But that could just be my latent pessimistic realism creeping up on me and making me project all over the place.

I've noticed that several people have recently made threads or have posted in the Q.T.D.D.T.O.T. thread seeking info on how to debunk various arguments - I.Q. pseudoscience, common capitalist arguments, misconceptions and smears against socialism, etc.
A lot of these are in the booru but are poorly tagged. Right now I'm looking for images under resources debunking I.Q. frauds under a general "debunk" tag, but is there anything else I should be looking for? What tags would be more intuitive or proper for me to use?
My goal is to optimize the booru to the point where relative newcomers can use it as a database of infographics that refute the most common reactionary, capitalist and aut-right arguments. I'm also optimizing all the anime pictures along accepted danbooru conventions (lastname_firstname, i.e. corbyn_jeremy) so in a few weeks head on over and search for your waifu.
Because they don't see inequalities along class lines but identitarians ones. She's black and a woman therefore she's a banner, not to mention she is a pop culture reference.
Checked. And I also don't get the hate here. It's just some dorky asian girl with a surprisingly big rack. Glasses and star wars dress says she's ok with being a dork publicly and she's got some sort of anti-mainstream chip on her shoulder. Real good shape under the baggy clothes and she'll grow into it really nicely. Midgrade to high waifu material if she's smart. Bet she knows how to make lumpia too, she looks like the girl whose mom has the best lumpia recipe in the state.

I dunno if I'd say it's more insufferable than normal Libertarian ideology. On thinking about it, in some ways it reminds me of what I was saying when I said that Tumblr was more tolerable than Holla Forums - in part, the more I dwell on it, because Tumblr has a slight alien element. (i.e. I can immediately recognize Holla Forums's Libertarians as smug self importance where in this image, you can't tell immediately whether she's smug, or trying to stave off neoliberalism induced suicide with sticky notes.) I guess it's more insidious, though.

I want to kill myself but I can't. The only thing holding me back is my father who I live with and hurting him beyond belief by doing so. Not to mention I found out that the clean up for that shit costs so much that families have actually gone into massive amounts of debt after a member of the family kills themselves. So I can't do it
I don't see anything getting better for me in the future. I'm 21 and still NEET, still a virgin, and can't get a job anywhere no matter how hard I try. I have friends and am not really an /r9k/ faggot but I still can't seem to get out of this hole I've dug for myself over the last five years. I'm a high school drop out, I have no experience really. I worked at a fast food restaraunt for two weeks then gave up because I kept having panic attacks.
I also have just given up on myself. I lost a lot of weight and started lifting over the last two years, but recently my motivation is gone and I can't get it back. Its disappeared before but I was always able to get back on the horse after a week or a couple of days. Now it's as if someone has just ripped it out of me and I have to force myself with everything I have to do a set or go jog. And I'm still fat on top of everything else so fuck it.
I hope that if a revolution comes I have the decency to kill myself so I'm not a detriment to any of you who actually have the balls to be human beings. I'm sorry

you're very young. i'm in my 30s and depression / bad shit runs in my family. was stuck in a similar situation. it got better. college is overrated. most jobs that are growing right now don't require a college education. think about skilled trades. also realize that capitalism is a big scam that makes liars out of everyone, and that you're not worthless for being a virgin (you won't be one forever, believe me) and for not living up to the standards sold on TV.
i also started thinking about how i could make the lives of other people better. by helping others i felt better about myself. and i started spending more time with family, and i got involved in socialist and anti-fascist activism. gets me out of my own head.

How does Fiat money work as an equivalent?
It has no intrinsic value, it merely exists as a representation of some quantity of value. Sure, you could probably still find out what weight of gold £1 equates to, but this is entirely arbitrary, because it's not backed by gold.
Does Marx's analysis of money break down when applied to fiat money? The worth of fiat money isn't determined by labour in the same way gold is. A nickel is worth the same amount even if its constituent metals decline in value overnight.
Xavier Nguyen
OH GOD I AM THE AMERICAN DREAM
For some reason that song was apparently #2 in the charts in my country. I guess it's because people didn't understand the lyrics. And yes, Zappa knew how to compose great music (youtube.com/watch?v=RGQxI0G6mKk) and his humour was quality. Even if he did have some stupid opinions (who doesn't), he'd still be great to hang out with.

Eli Bennett
Well yeah, currency is a vital part of the exchanging market. Capital is best symbolized through monetary gains. So of course Marx goes through it's origin, history, relevance, cultural and societal role and how it grew to become to represent people who are "more" than others. As your analysis shows, money is indeed arbitrary and Marx argues that in a communist society where each works according to their ability and takes according to their need, money will grow to become useless. If this indeed is the case is debatable nowadays, still, money will always have an arbitrary value since it's value is purely exchange-value and has no real physical use-value
Charles Wood
Right, but Marx was not talking of Fiat currency, but was instead talking of a money commodity either in circulation, or represented by tokens. Fiat currency is different, in that this "money" does not have a backing in the value of an actually existing commodity (I.e. Gold), but are merely declared to be money by the state.
How can price be said to reflect value if the equivalent does not contain an equal magnitude of labour (I.e. More labour-time), or of ot doesn't represent some other commodity (gold or silver) with that labour time embodied in it?
A $100 or £50 note contain within them, respectively, a negligible amount of labour, yet can be exchanged for a variety of commodities which embody a great deal more labour. Either Fiat money has no value, and in this case prices don't "fluctuate" around Value, but exist irrespective of it, or Fiat money represents some other labour (that of state workers or what have you), though neither of these seem satisfactory.
The only decent explanation may be that it is a creation of the capitalist class to prevent objects being sold at their value, as that value is rapidly approaching zero as the labour time embodied in any given commodity diminished more and more.
Nolan Watson
Chairman Dore is working out how to get the revolution going… Remember when we had to edit his vids to say this stuff. youtube.com/watch?v=X49i-SzaYEw
Brody Evans
This is because the underlying value of all commodities relative to one another, does not depend on what commodity is used as universal equivalent, and in fact you can do away with a universal equivalent by an agreed upon simple representation (in this case, digital ledgers at banking authorities and institutions).
It is enough to know that your represented quantity of value will be respected by the other members of the community, and having the backing of a powerful, functioning state with a monopoly on the use of violence, achieves this. And why not, money represents a social relation to start with, expressed through the commodities. It becomes a social relation regulated to a social custom, namely the acceptance of purely represented value.
Is there anywhere I can read more about this? My Marxian economics is stuck in the early 20th century.

I could kinda get 3d porn, but doesn't 2d porn have a potential to be less fascistic, acknowledging the actuality that most hentai is pretty reactionary.
My critique of most hentai comics is basically just a standard feminist one, not really economic. The entire mindbreak genre literally follows justifications for rape word by word. That and the NTR genre usually treat male dick the same way white supremacists treat specifically black dick. In general women don't have almost any agency, even in works where they actively want sex they usually let it come to them, sexual pleasure merely being a vehicle for hedonism rather than for men where it is a desire distinct from pleasure itself. There are exceptions to all of this of course, but I've read a ton of hentai, and that's generally true. I wasn't thinking about about single images when I made the post tbh, those are void of emotion to me. I guess you could say that they tend to split the physical aspects of sexuality with the emotional aspects, but tbh it's not that bad in that regard: certainly way better than 3d shit.
Hedonism a shit. Try to find hope in something, remember that desirability is independent of happiness.

I find that a lot of these kind of critiques assume a certain causal relationship between pornography that demeans women and real life behaviour. I'm not sure that it's possible to prove such a relationship exists. Perhaps the type of people who read or watch specific types of hentai are the type of people predisposed to such behaviour anyway? If that's the case, you'd probably see anti-social behaviour within these people even if hentai was memory-hole'd from the internet. It would probably manifest itself as some other form of behaviour: religious extremism, traditional machismo, etc. I should have said "fulfillment."

I mean, I really don't think that enjoying reactionary media makes you a reactionary. Like I'm sometimes fine with explicitly sexist or reactionary media and I agree that one cannot simply state that a piece of media being whatever will necessarily encourage its reader to be sexist/bourgh/a rapist/whatever. Still, I think its dumb to say that media doesn't influence attitudes and opinions. In general (and this might just be a pro-'marketplace of ideas' bias talking) I'm ok with any work that I feel is internally consistent, as I find it hard for internal inconsistencies (double standards and the like) to be reinforced through consistency. Like I tend to think works like some of Asanagi's (which are definitely explicitly sexist, not in the sense that Asanagi definitely is, but in the sense that the rules of the story are explicitly sexist) to be fine because they remove themselves from the sphere of normality, and despite them being mindbreak, the perpetrators are not pardoned for their rape because the victims 'enjoyed it' but instead they are portrayed as even more even for also effectively 'mind killing' someone. Nonetheless, most hentai does not have even this cursory internal consistency and thus I do think that a good deal of them do actually reinforce sexism or what have you.

straight shota and incest in particular seems particularly fascist (by that i mean paternalistic but let me have my hot take) you know, desiring relationships with your mother and family because it's safe and won't harm you and you desire warmth
it's not that jacking off to hentai will make you a rapist, but that if you have a desire for domination and power, pedophilic tendencies, sexist outlooks, regret for not having enjoyed your youth or just plain desire for social relationships and a severe need to fuck you're more likely to do so and actively enjoy it then there's the fact that the nature of social relationships in japan obviously influences hentai (very transparently), regardless of whenever the people that enjoy it are really part of society as a whole or just some random hikki whacking it

With the Republican tax bill now going through for sure, could it in some way be good? For since it's gonna basically fuck the US economy, 10-20 years down the line the whole thing will probably reach a critical point that makes 2008 look like the 1990s crashes. The rich will probably just jump ship and not get affected by any economic decline from this bill, but the point is that 99% of people will. Now what if this tax bill could be the new bread shortage? Could it finally be what drives those push-over liberals into actually standing up? will this result in a Venezuela, or will the liberals just go "this isn't right, it's inhumane" and then just switch to the next TV channel. But back on point, will this act as a flash tension that will slowly cause a reactionary violent left movement from the majority of the population?
Wyatt Nguyen
Accelerationism doesn't work. Commies in germany thought that the nazis siezing power would ruin the economy and push for a german revolution. The economy got fucked No revolution happened, even post nazi germany. This issue was recognized by socialists all over the world. All you do is give the far right power to subdue the left
Brandon Sanchez
hope he works himself into an early grave yielding something like a 20% loss of lifetime tbh.
Connor Myers
can i just rant (again?) about "the big issue"? as a piece of ideology it just makes me very sad. i'm almost certain that on a wider sociological level (i.e. not casting aspersions on the people who set it up, who may well have had the best of intentions) it's just a way to tide over the guilt of the non-homeless towards the plight of the homeless by turning them from "losers of capitalism" to "micro-entrepreneurs". (that vulgar term i did take from their ad-copy.) basically instead of begging, they sell the would-be beggar newspapers for £1.25, but then the beggar vendor sells the papers for £2.50, making them a nice profit margin. there's something (a) viscerally discomforting about it, and (b) in microeconomic terms it's annoying in an almost right wing sense because a random magazine is a source of disutility, now i have to dispose of it out of sight of the seller. I'm fine with giving money away, but now i can't just do that and go on with what i was doing, because i've been stuck with a copy of the big issue i have no interest in reading.
have their article on it bigissue.com/news/takethebigissue-must-always-take-copy/ there's an awful sort of gloss on this. i mean here's the thing, they are basically begging - you don't buy the big issue because you want a copy of it, you buy the big issue because you see some unfortunate person selling the big issue and you go through this elaborate ritual because "spare change mate?" makes you feel guilty, whereas this has the impersonal element of capitalism to it. you're just buying a product.
and what's wrong with a handout if you've fallen on hard times anyway? that's a very annoying outlook in and of itself. oh, you're drowning - i won't throw you the lifebuoy because that would encourage you to jump off the boat again, instead i'll bark swimming lessons at you so you can save yourself. :) what we need is more people who stand for handouts, not less. (ideally in government.)
dislike how this reads like complaining about beggars and wishing they'd all just vanish down a black hole just due to the nature of the thing. there is of course a sort of vulgar middle class dogoodery to everything i just wrote, but still.
Brandon Scott
Does anyone prefer working out alone? For some reason I hate lifting or jogging with a partner.
Aiden Russell
So what what changes anyone else expecting? More LibCom flags gone, more filters, Syria flag added, harsher bans for critizing Assad?
Brayden Jones
eugh
Isn't that the point of playing out one's sexual fantasies though? They're fantasy, a place to escape to when real life is gross and flabby and and smells like booze. I think this just goes back to my point that it's very possible that certain people are predisposed to this type of thinking. The medium itself doesn't matter, since people are going to seek out something that will confirm those biases regardless of whether it's porn or Deuteronomy. Related to this, I think that stories that have glaring inconsistencies make themselves aware of how unlikely they really are. For instance, the first episode of Kiniro Mosaic has a bit where Karen find it hard to relate to everyone in her class. It's your typical SoL show, so there's nothing really at stake: the segment ends with Karen making a speech to her class about how she wants to be friends with everyone and her class applauds and instantly becomes friends with her. The cynic in me knows that in real life she'd just get bullied mercilessly for that stunt but I'm willing to consciously suspend that disbelief because I know that the KinMoza universe is fantasy. It's a nicer world where no one really gets bullied, everyone's problems get resolved or ex machina'd and there are strong yuri undertones without actual yuri though I personally think that Shino and Alice should get together when the manga ends. I don't think that my world view is warped because I indulge in a nicer fantasy world
How will I get my salt screencaps if the dems don't fuck up in 2018 now?
This too, too much cultural criticism looks at media in a vacuum

On a related note, people who want to do this should check out my post about leftybooru optimization here Honestly, lots of FB image macros are optimally suited for image board agitprop since they're custom-tailored to grab the attention of someone flicking through dozens of images a minute on their normiephone
Shit man, at least he hopefully lived a long and comfortable life
No. At MOST it presents an opportunity to reach out but what will most of the left do? Double down on bullshit idpol funded by what's left of their government arts and academia grants instead of reaching out and fighting on class issues. Thousands of people dying and going homeless to give porky mcbuttfuck a third yacht is in no way "good." Also what said
James Anderson
I fucking hate the big issue. I think I could cope with being homeless if the worst came to worst at least for a bit, but I don't think I could ever sell the big issue. Theres just something so demeaning and embarrassing about it.
Mason Rivera
God that just seems like the worst type of neoliberal magic dust sprinkled over a problem caused by the tax and spending cuts helping the advertisers in the magazine they're selling. Rather than get people off the streets with changes to mental health policy and maybe even a job guarantee, you just conjure up an ersatz business to help them beg without facing fines or police harassment (which, I imagine, they probably still get for soliciting) don't worry about it, you're allowed to criticize a failing state jettisoning its most vulnerable citizens through cuts to mental health care without having to constantly affirm your own egalitarianism
Jaxon Diaz
tbh honest I don't really care for the e-celeb drama. I just thought his video's could be used to fuck with race realists.
I dunno he gave up and now 4/pol/ is parading his corpse through the streets.

I'm a britbong and it's been freezing over here. At the nights, whenever I'm putting on three pairs of socks, it's impossible for me not to think about all the homeless people freezing to death.

Reminder that America is the world's richest third world country.

worth noting that even the poorest of third world countries can still have pockets of extreme wealth like Lagos in Nigeria for example. But in America the disparity is so extreme that it puts other countries to shame. Imagine if this happened in Venezuela.

STOP. Imperialism is CAPITALISM IN DECAY. By definition, the most imperialist country on earth (the USA) would also be the one in the deepest state of decay. This has nothing to do with making the USA "third world."

In burgerland socdems might as well be radical Leninists. Unlike in Europe there is no non-liberal/"labor"/socialist party here.
Thomas Evans
so? they're still the enemy.
Carson Scott
I can already see the memes.
It's long past time we branded LARPers and SJWs for the liberal-who-inevitably-will-stab-the-left's-back that they are. But we can't do that because they control the world's media. Too bad.
Lenin thought (or wanted to believe, at any rate) that imperialism was capitalism final manifestation before finally crashing and burning. Needless to say, he was proven completely wrong on that regard. Besides, American capitalism is fraying a bit at the edges but Porky got his shit locked tight, not just materially but culturally, and this stability lets it be even more imperialistic. Lastly, the effective meaning of third world county really was "undeveloped capitalist shithole", and the end of the Cold War hasn't changed that. Unclench, man.
Logan Powell
I had been chatting a few days ago about GG and information and culture and shit and haven't been able to get on in a few days, I'll try to catch up tomorrow. Prepare for huge posts quoting a million dead links which you will just scroll by.
I was supposed to have a partner all these years?
I thought she was one of the good ones, and by that I mean an actual leftist. But with a name like that, I suppose she couldn't escape socjus.

He never said this, you are creating a strawman. Moreover, this has nothing to do with what I said.

Is this guy as woke as Jimmy?
Ryan Richardson
No but I think he has potential, he's got a pretty huge platform relative to left youtubers as well. He's a socdem but he's said once that he's fine with electing people who are more radical than him because you'll often get half-measures in place. As I was typing this reply I just heard him bring up he agrees with Richard Wolff on many things and workplace democracy, so wew
Josiah Hernandez
he's one of those "we need socialism for healthcare but we also need capitalism to make commodities" guys. Better than Cenk but still a socdem. I will give him credit for being consistently anti US-intervention however.
Xavier Lee

Looks like she wasn't getting the bank she expected aut-right e-celebing so she backed out. I'd unironically fuck hooker anfem over her tbh.
Ryder Collins
I cant understand how anyone found her interesting or attractive. she just screams bland. and I get the same vibes from her that I got from a friends GF from college that cucked him for a dude with assburgers and when my friend dumped her she rubbed period blood on his dorm door in the shape of a pentagram
Jackson Foster
The cucking part is shit but the period pentagram is pretty funny.
Ian Martinez
My master plan is succeeding. Within a year all the internet will come to know Kiniro Mosaic as the most leftist anime ever produced. We are winning comrades

I'm not watching her, I'm watching the house. If I catch her doing bad things then it would be purely incidental. At least that's what a tell myself
Jeremiah Anderson
Seems like you expect her to do something bad, nigga you gotta work this shit out
Easton Cox
Be honest with yourself, are you watching to keep her safe or because you think she's doing something bad? If the former, you have nothing to lose by telling her about the cameras, she could even benefit by looking through them instead of going outside if she hears something. If the latter, you don't trust her and perhaps you shouldn't be marrying someone you don't trust to not do bad things.

Speaking of which, India-user here. I've missed seeing my hometown so much recently fucking holidays, I think… I actually even miss the snow that while checking out random insecams, I found my downtown area on there & have just been watching it every once in a while, lmao. I just learned about this site a little while ago & checked it out because I was curious. Some are even inside peoples' homes which is fucked up. Gave me a new understanding on how important it is to set up a security cam properly & safely, if I ever get one in the future. If I ever lurk on that site I only check out the commercial stores & city street cams randomly, like my town's one I just mentioned. insecam.org is the site if anyone's interested.
Evan Garcia
I stumbled across some carnatic/raaga gold here. youtube.com/watch?v=5IMHuCKp9TA These songs always start out slow, then go to a faster beat after the intro. Around 3:30 he goes into beast mode. :^) Captions are great & really give you so much more. I never thought subtitles were necessary, until I saw translations with my fav songs. Makes it so much better.
I almost shed a tear; it's that good. Super peaceful. I recommend this to anyone who's stressed currently…
Benjamin Parker
Dank, m8. Thanks. Although I would prefer if there were less instruments involved and just his lovely voice.
Dumb anti sucdem posters. There is literally nothing wrong with trying to improve the lives of people using all available avenues.
Obviously. These are things you should decide on together as a couple.
Julian Peterson
Since the dedicated thread is anchored, and I don't want to be banned as a Christmas present for starting a new one, I'll ask here.
In the recent Kraut&Tea (youtube guy) debacle, leaks reveal he was working with Holla Forums youtubers and podcasters to dox and shit on alt-right channels. Who here worked with him, and why? Its all personal attacks, zero substance.
Cooper Turner
This show might be some of the purest Burgerstani ideology I've ever seen, but goddamn I can't help but watch it anyway.
Christopher Anderson
Petty ego's are the substance of youtube personalities.
Luke Barnes
Bat'ko was on the server because he was on a stream with Kraut but I don't think he was involved in the doxxing at all. The alt-right is just trying to use this to accuse everybody they don't like of doxxing
Lucas Myers
Is it any good? Does a nuke go off at least?
Andrew Barnes
Not a nuke, but the Capitol is bombed and almost all politicians are killed in the first episode. Kieferboi ends up as president because he's been designated to stay home in case of something like that happening. Yeah it's pretty good. Keep in mind that it's pure liberal classcuckery though.
Justin Morgan
His life was pretty good. He started out really anti-social and scared because he came from a horrible home. At first he used to bite me when I tried to pet him. But over the years he slowly opened up, and he would lie next to you and even let you pick him up eventually. He even stopped being scared of strangers. The evening he died, he slept on my lap for a bit, which was the first time he ever did that.
Benjamin Thomas
I like your guzin :DDDD
Grayson Stewart
Both rebel and anarchopac often talked about being the punching bag of their dysfunctional families, I feel like the answer lies there. To see rebel now is truly heartbreaking, a floating anime girl mask, the person who put it on having faded away. It reminds me of when my grandfather got dementia and started singing children's songs all day, as if a gleeful zombie is mocking the existence of his host.

Hunter Clark
This sounds right up my ally, thanks for the recommendation. Side note: of all the political drama's to come out of the US, the show that actually best captured the reality of contemporary US politics was actually The Wire. When they portray the Carcetti campaign, they depict in detail the need for the candidate to sleazily hunt for donations for example, and the ways in which various unsavory pressure groups can exert influence on those in power by leveraging their support for them. Season three is criminally underrated.
Nathaniel King

Liam Garcia
That's a chinese goose comr8. Also geese are huge dickheads.
Hunter Edwards
My own personal crank opinion is that people overemphasize the negative influence large donors have over representatives. In Canada big donations from anyone have been banned for a while. The major change is the parties are now tethered to raise lots of small donations. For conservative parties this means that economic leverage just goes from a few dozen board rooms to thousands of petty bourgeois subaru dealers and construction company owners. It also gives a big incentive to gravitate to idpol since it's easier to raise money on those issues. Hence why we have a socdem parry of labour here that is 70% staffed with idpol professionals.
Christian Flores
All I know is that Rollins' voice acting was laughable
Austin Jenkins
I don't necessarily disagree. Over here all elections are publicly funded, but the corporations just end up paying the politicians directly in stead, via various paid positions. Capital finds a way.
Also status update on Designated Survivor: two episodes in, it feels like the fucking West Wing. Again we are treated to reverence for liberal institutions, procedure, and radical centrist solutions achieved through superior middle of the road independent (tm) reasoning, and comically buffoonish right wing opponents like the Generals. "Oh I'll just bluff the governor into not ethnically cleansing the muslims with my superior guile in stead of actually exercising political power for what is right".
I'm still going to watch all of it.
Parker Watson
love how one of the main characters in that show was a capitalist war profiteer who tried to start a global conflict for money but then he gets to be the wacky comic relief, has a redemption arc and gets married in the final episode. And by love I mean that hate
Dominic Wilson
I told you about that ideology dawg. The show also likes to point alphabet soupo agencies into being righteous and principled. I find it gives a good look into the liberal mindset.

Jaxon Campbell
I somehow managed to let myself get sucked into /r9k/ the last week or so (actually I know exactly how, it's just too embarrassing to say), and now I feel fucking awful. I'm still a 25yo virgin just as I was before but I always thought I could pull myself out of it easy, just gotta do the work this year, and lots of people around this age are struggling so it's fine, I'll be fine. But now after spending time on /r9k/ I feel fucking suicidal about it all of a sudden. There's something about that place. I feel like the future is completely closed now and I'm gonna remain a NEET virgin til 30, then probably kill myself. What has happened to me.
Juan Cox
Not bad. it didn't commit to it's "functionary in a evil empire" premise as much as I though it would.
Landon Williams
Yull b fine The problem with /r9k/ and the depression and pessimistic realism that drove me to it is that it's fucking addictive. Viewed from the outside that state of mind is probably unappealing, but there's something incredibly comforting about believing that your life is bad because the world is unfair and shit and there's nothing you can do about it. It's a great feeling in it's own way. I went on that shitty board every day for two years, reading depressing shit and jacking off twice a day the whole time. I'm probably permanently socially retarded, I don't trust anyone, and I have to consciously try to not be reactionary as fuck, but I managed to get laid. You'll be fine. Just try to stop browsing.
Carson Smith
Don't try to fall into that echochamber and instead post here were we encourage ourselves. I'm a 26 y/o kv (as posted above), but there's always a glimpse of hope we should hold on too.
Can I also just say that it's particularly annoying to me how being a virgin often gets associated with being 'alt-right'? Fucking hate it.
Thomas Wilson
r9k is prolly just the downwards spiral itself, not your virginity. theoretically you could become a heroine addict and would feel more joy than any couple would ever get with sex
Kevin Clark
what im saying with this post: society is a spook, so are expectations. just stop giving a fuck ^^
Ryan Powell
It's comforting because it removes the fault from the individual and places it on the world/universe

I know, my point was just that it shifts the lever holder from corporatist porkies to fascist-sympathetic porkies.
At the same time, if you don't have public funding of elections (Canada's previous tory government killed it here) it disproportionately forces the same pressures on left and liberal-left parties
Anyway, if you want a good critique of liberal institutions and respectability just watch The Office

So I went to the movies to see the awful P.T. Barnum musical. It was idpol drek but one of the commercials I watched was absolutely fucking INFURIATING
The gist of it is that there's this old black morgan freeman busker who's playing the trumpet. He's playing on sidewalks and in coffee shops and no one gives him money because they only use INTERAC payment methods. And so the morgan freeman busker gets depressed but then he signs up for e-payments with INTERAC and looks up and smiles and kinda cries a bit when all of those plastic-only assholes e-debit him a ton of money from their phones, before looking at him and smiling. Christmas saved thanks to big finance!

i'm sure 4chan's /qa/ used to be good-ish but right now it just seems obnoxious. could be that i've mentally refactored irrelevant anime images from "probably a hermit like me" to "probably a hermit nothing like me, or a redditor who does things." but a general declinist hypothesis is both more pleasing and less controversial.
Free speech? Some issue like that where the alt-right can use it to gain a foothold with the skeptics.

Don't act like the original was better politically. At least in Korra they depict an "anarchist" assassinating a monarch and later the descendant abdicating the throne. TLA was a much better show in general but it's politics were fucked. Korra failed spectacularly in almost every sense but it did make the attempt to address some of the problems of the universe.
I'm pretty sure he's quoting her.

That really just depends on where you are. You might be blessed with a strong, ascendant non-sectarian group just down the street, or you might have to settle with the thoroughly idpozzed or neoliberal local branch of whatever passes for a socdem/left party in your country. Wherever you are, try and take every opportunity to turn people on the fence over to class and financial issues and make them more confident and strident in their leftist beliefs

Jaxon Evans
Yeah I know. I feel bad about complaining sometimes because shit could be a lot worse but I still need to do a bit on occassion. What you said is my plan anyway, slip away as fast as possible at a reasonable time and hope no one brings it up. Co-workers are pretty shit all round though. Boss literally has autism and it's like the large majority of them never socially left secondary school. Stir up drama for the sake of it then never shut up about it even though most of them are over 40.
Basically, unless you take the day off because the office shuts a bit early.
A couple are alright for talking about sport/music for a bit so I usually just try and chill with them until it's appropriate to leave. To be honest it's probably not going to be as bad as my anxiety makes it out to be but thats always the case with any form of social interaction.

Gabriel Cooper
I guess I'm just autistic, but I hardly feel like sex is a 'fundamental human experience' of immense importance. I mean, was Jesus really less of a person than the average cunt just because he didn't fuck anyone? People say Kant died a virgin. Again, does that matter? Sticking your dick in someone is not an accomplishments, and all accomplishments that matter can be done without ever having done so.
Ian Moore
shame!
Tyler Ward
Bigger moths would be fluffy pets.
Owen Martinez
but real moths are too small to cuddle
It's a drive that *almost* everyone has built into them, I can understand feeling bad about never experiencing it.
Lucas Bailey
The question is, did *you* place that pressure on yourself or did you let nerd bait forum posts talk you into it?
Oliver Foster
You're probably autistic, sex isn't an accomplishment but it is a fundamental human expereince due to its role in continuing the human species. There's nothing wrong with being a virgin but it's dumb to deny most would feel bad about never having it, just look at how fucked up Holla Forums is about perpetual virginity.
Jayden Foster
true. now that's one thing i miss from the prehistoric era
real moths may be too small to cuddle, but anime girl moths just do away with everything that makes them cute just to put a furcoat, wings and antenna on some random monmusu reject
sex is far from a fundamental human experience, but almost everything usually associated with the act (having a meaningful relationship and everything that comes with that for example) makes it highly desirable. Putting a penis inside a vagina by itself is nothing special. At least that's how i explain it to myself, fellow autistic virgin
Josiah Watson
This. I used to get really upset about this stuff, but then I thought about it rationally for a bit and realized it makes no sense for me to want it. I hate being around people and find it very stressful, I find conversing with people to be incredibly boring and always try to avoid it, the few friends I do have I see very little and I'm okay with that, and I really enjoy being alone and tend to experience people I care about expecting stuff from me as a huge burden. Also, I have huge trust issues. So why would I even want a girlfriend? It'd be stressful as all hell and involve me constantly having someone around to whom I'd feel obligated to do various things, and said person would be someone I met recently who I'd somehow have to trust enough to love. Since then I don't care as much anymore, as I realized it was more of a social pressure I was giving into than anything I'd actually be happy with.

Why do alt-righters hate Star Wars so much?
Is it really because one of the characters was black?
Dylan White
Pretty much, since they made BLACKED meme out of Rey and Finn.
Hudson Watson
You're not being autistic. I get what you're saying. Others already addressed your point better than I probably could.
I miss early IASIP, lads.
We shouldn't really be thankful but, as Zizek notes, in today's society it's unfortunately almost a 'priviliged' position.
Probably a mixture of both. I'd be lying if I said that years of browsing 4ch didn't effect me to some extent but also outside influence - friends when talking about sex etc - has also influenced me.
No. There are women now in it as well apparently. Seriously, 4/tv/ should just get fucking shot.
Adam Perry
you remember how they wouldn' stop crying about how the main character is a chick in TFA? They're literally (and I mean literally the same complaints) saying the same thing for The Last Jedi. Stuff like it's communist propaganda because the villain is a white man. It's fucking pathetic. Yeah, Last Jedi is a 6/10 a best but they're acting like it's the end of the world. I seriously don't get the outrage about the new movies. In this one and TFA as well people were crying how Rey can handle a lightsaber without much training. Like it's a fucking glowing stick holy shit.
Wyatt Morales
Because Star wars is for children.
You should try swinging around hot plasma and see how easy it is to not cut your leg off.
That was just shit writing though. Luke got fucking dumpstered and had his hand cut off with ease when he tried to take on Vader as an inexperienced shitter fresh out of training. Rey instantly defeats the new bad guy and doesn't even seem to be that outmatched. Luke's situation makes the bad guy seems dangerous, gives the heroes an actual defeat to chew on to raise the stakes, allows Luke to grow as a character and become stronger, and sets up for a rematch down the line where he can redeem himself. Rey's situation makes the bad guy seem like a clown who got beat by someone who'd never even used the weapon he'd been training with for years, makes Rey seem like she's already in control and doesn't really need to advance much further, and means there's no real tension or drama to any potential rematch with the other tosser as he's already been shown not to be very dangerous even before Rey actually trained with her weapon. It's just bleh.

/a/ is for lewd. I remember that every K-On thread used to be just a thinly veiled /ghost/ ERP invitation. Often they'd die off in the actual catalog quite quick but then have a whole bunch of posts in /ghost/. Just kind of died off when the archive died, unfortunately. The replacement archive constantly refused to let you post, and it just became too much of a hassle. But that was a while ago, so maybe it's going on again, I dunno.

Too bad that's not the reasoning that these virgin chuds use. They're just mad about the notion that tumblr-lite notions of idpol are accepted by the public. They are upset that their precious NERD CULTURE safe space was taken from them by chads, stacy and normies. They blame the sjw phenomenon for kill their ability to become publicly accepted once their media tastes became dominant. This is exactly what their obsession with cultural marxism is all about is trying to make a giant excuse for why people always never accepted them in first place.
Charles Green
hate this, partially because it's just an excuse to try and deduce which games are significant instead of actually playing games (also i don't really enjoy games that much.) and partially because people don't really play all these games, like, the actual "big other" experience of the gaming industry (sort of like what reviewers got until say 2000 where they'd get to play everything a bit) is nothing like what most kids actually had with a much more limited collection and spending hundreds of hours in the same game fucking around. so in "learning this culture" in reality i learn nothing, it's like learning ancient hebrew to talk about the bible. really i ought to just sit down with a copy of "how to talk about books you haven't read" and see if anything applies to glurge like overwatch. (yeah you, i'm judging you.)
Noah Miller
Why would you need/want to do any of this? I am unclear on why you are saying this.
Hunter Kelly
i'm saying it to organize my thoughts. (in this thread because ages ago there was that paragraph from that story about the guy inside the videogame that's getting a film, where he tries to consume every cultural artefact the game-creator did in order to figure out the easter eggs, and i've always found a funny resonance in that.) as for why i'd want to, mostly broaden my interest (which is currently in a corner.) by playing something but also perhaps on a subconscious level, to mitigate a feeling of having missed out because other kids had games i didn't. (likewise, i had games they didn't, but still.) with pseudo-nostalgia occurring alongside that.
That last one has a fun story behind it. It was an American data transmission station run by the military, but I think they wound up contracting out to test the broadcasts. A gang of amateur radio operators decided to go out into the desert in New Mexico or Arizona (I think?) to triangulate the signal and found the contractor's transmitter. When they pulled up and started taking pictures some guy runs out and yelled at the amateurs to knock it off. The amateurs took off and the broadcasts stopped the day after. Free market works baby
Zachary Rivera
Why aren't you called Karen Kujou or Karen Kujō? Isn't this incorrect Romaji?
Kayden Cook
shut up weeb
Dylan Hernandez
Here's my source for the story. It isn't independently confirmed but the contractor does exist
It is incorrect, I was just afraid that using proper romaji would make me look like a weeb and have people like jump down my throat
If you don't wanna look like a weeb, why are you an anime tripfag?

Is there a good argument that Venezuela is socialist? Or what's the best argument?
Evan Thomas
That the government says so, I suppose.
Michael Adams
There is no argument, by all definition other than "socialism is when goverment does stuff" Venezuela isn't socialist
Thomas Brown
Everyone knows that socialism is when the government does anything and flies a flag which includes the color red. To say otherwise means you're just saying "it's not true socialism." This is also why Nazis were socialist.
John Butler
oil induced economic crises are ACTUALLY EXISTING SOCIALISM can't find the picture where a Conservative party/(youth?) facebook page said "The Three Day Week - this is where Socialism gets you", when actually this occurred under a Conservative government and the root cause was the 1973 oil shock.
It's kinda funny how a poorfag somehow had the funds to just buy or own a decent rig for mining. For those who don't know, if your rig isn't energy efficient enough, you'll use up more energy than you're gaining in bitcoin. Meaning you'll go into a hard loss. If you can pay for the bills from an outside source, it would be more worth to buy the coins directly. But I doubt a poorfag in 2012 had the funds to invest
Moral of the story: The rich got richer
Josiah Nguyen
If I've been at uni for 2 years, and I've still not made any real friends besides one or two people I kinda get on with, am I just doomed to loneliness forever? I thought I'd have a group of friends like I did at school, but I only ever tagged along with them and that worked because we were forced to be around each other. I feel like uni is the last phase of your life where you make friends, when you go to work everyone you meet there are just people it's easier to be nice to rather than actual friends. Am I actually fucked?
Jack Perez
I'm basically done with my master's thesis, and I never made any friends. Just didn't really like any of the people in my classes. Bunch of insufferable liberals. But then, I don't really care that much, so eh.
Brayden Rogers
I wish I could be happy without friends, I just get lonely so easily. I don't even have anyone online I really talk to either.
Colton White
Honestly, most people are both boring and retarded. I have zero desire to speak to people about random events in their insipid daily lives or hear how Trump is the source of all evil and Elon Musk will send us all to space. When I get lonely, conversing with people proves to be a swift cure.
Jack Rodriguez

I made it through college without making any real friends despite having friends in high school. I'll probably have totally lost touch with everyone I talked to there within the next few months. I'm studying law now. The social environment is similar to college. I've made one friend here, but the types here are the sort of people who still have Hillary shit still hanging in their windows. I stopped getting lonely in my senior year. That was really because I felt like I gotten everything that I could out of socializing. I've always felt that having friends feels overwhelming, and I find most things that most people have to say incredibly boring. Looks like your only hope is becoming socially retarded
Jordan Morales
Sometimes I feel like there's something wrong with me and I don't have sufficient empathy or something. When someone tells me they went to see a movie or they had a job interview or whatever, I'm bored out of my mind and just waiting for it to be over. But other people seem to actually enjoy these utterly meaningless conversations and actively seek them out. Maybe I'm autistic or something, I dunno.
Mason Cooper
How did youtube become Kekistan Hell?

Caleb Torres
I lost touch with everyone I knew in high school and hate most people at my uni. In all honesty you'd have better luck meeting friends online or at gigs than you would at a place crammed full of faggots who likely share none of your interests. It's sad to think about, but I predict as capitalism further alienates us something like Tinder but for friends will arise and most of the time you go to the movies or hang out it will be with a random group of people you feel nothing and just use to pretend not to be lonely.

hey guys whats up my fellow LE SELF OWNED CORN COBS?? xD just a couple funny joeks i made, yeah, I'm a memer, yeah, I'm trending on twitter and reddit. LE EPIC WIN!! Anyways, fellow memebers of the Democratic Cops of America, how are we going to go about making the MAGA C.H.U.D. totally fill their diapers today? LOL, what are those rural and suburban retards going to do to "own the libs" [another epic meme] today? YEAH, I MEME. YEAH. I JUST MEMED YA. Anways, I was reading Jacobin and I had an idea for how to make the binches self corn cobbed: We SPREAD A RUMOR that ONE OF THEIR TOP FIGURES is… get this, comrades, a PEDOPHILE!! It's the most genius, fool-proof plan! We're going to need some wymyn of color on this, quick. Preferably someone that agrees with every neoliberal-progressive opinion and has no serious contentions with the DNC or Hillary or anything. Let's just get a democrat to do this, as long as SHE'S BLACK (just like god amiright?). Holla Forums is full of problematic dudebros, pissbabies, and, uhhhhh, reactionary much, my dude? Ugh, yikes, problematic much, my guy? Ugh. So we can't use them in our plan to own the chuds. By the way, did I tell y'all folks about the lolbertarian ayncrap that was mad, red, and nude and totally filled his diaper hard the other day? I was talking about how the privatization of science will slow down scientific progress (I'm totally for an epic post-scarcity Star Trek socialist utopia btw, like in my D&D campaigns and webcomic-podcast new media experience, but right wingers who talk about science are LE RATI0NAL SKEPTIC MUCH??? LE RATI0NAL STEMlord le muh feeeeeeeeeeeemales neckbear pissbaby much? SELF OWNED CHUD much??), and this fatass with a small dick and also he's a misogynist and he was raping a wymyn in front of me said "that makes no sense, if some action of a company works to inhibit scientific progress, and it is in the interest of the company to gain as much scientific knowledge as possible, then they'll do whatever they can to get that knowledge- science will be managed more efficiently in the private sector than in the public, because there's no incentive for efficiency or accuracy besides the self-policing of the scientific community in the public sector. Plus, without the government-granted monopoly that is intellectual property and patents, knowledge will disperse and spread much more freely. Companies will also only fund projects and studies that can, by proxy, actually offer something to consumers, meaning that the priorities of both scientists and even the humanities and other fields will be to increase the pleasure of society by providing above all else" After hearing this hellscape geohell not mad garbage, I sipped my tea and said, "Sweatie, actually true communism is a universal basic income and workplace democracy and giving black people welfare and co opts and the government being really nice and not racist :)" uuggh, what a self owned chud, amiright yo? After this triggering encounter, I had to walk my cat and dye my shitty crusty hair that I don't know how to maintain and fuck tyrone and down a shit ton of xanax and wine at the same time and listen to an entire chapo trap house rerun. It really gave me anxiety and it's /so/ important and we need to sit down and have a national conversation about it and just have a dialogue about it. Anyway, I just read this cool ZINE about how being a wiccanist lesbian in late capitalism (I don't know what it means but it's cool because it sounds vaguely dystopic and paints a narrative of subtle inchoate dread that gets people to donate to my paypal and stuff :)) is horrible. I can't wait when late capitalism is over and there'll be Democratic Cops of America members in every political office in the world and there'll still be businesses but only, like, small businesses, y'know, and everybody will have enough money to smoke weed and get fucked in the ass by trannies and post on twitter all day but there'll still be property, I guesssss, ughhhh, I don't want to think about it, dril just made a new tweet that's really funny and owns the chuds pretty hard and I have to retweet. Sorry y'all folks my dude yo yikes ugh um. Anways what's going on fellow demsocs?

Deep lore: he's likely a true blood racist. In a stream somewhere sometime he let slip how he used to have a career as a teacher, but got out of it because he couldn't deal with "positive discrimination" of blacks or somesuch. If you're willing to change career paths because you could not deal with that, that's saying something.

I can't bring myself to finish my master's thesis since I know I'll then have to somehow get a job with some useless liberal arts degree and no skills or personality traits that would induce anyone to hire me over one of the eleventy billion other people like me out there. I wish I'd been this cynical several years ago. Then I'd just have studied computer science or something. I may not give a fuck about it, but at least I'd be nearly guaranteed a job. At least I'm not American, then I'd have been in this position and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt besides.
Blake Ortiz
rude
No problem dude
Oh wow, it's me from 2016 If you aren't drowning in debt from the degree then I'd just say you might as well finish it off given the time you've already sunk into it. If you don't, you'll still be stuck trying to find a job with a shitty lib arts degree although now you'll be at a disadvantage against people like me who finished. I personally finished mine since even after I realized how much I suck at what I do, I'd probably feel even worse if I quit in the middle of my thesis and just left it sitting around unfinished. Finish it off, be proud that you stuck it out and then get any kind of job that'll pay you enough to live on. There's no rule that says that you can't just drive a forklift for a living and do the things that made you do an M.A. in the first place in your spare time or as a side project to haul in beer money. Also, if you're in uni you probably can make use of student-run health or optical insurance. Get as many appointments, fillings, check-ups and new glasses or whatever as your policy will let you before you finish up. I procrastinated on getting this done and now I'm going to have to pay out of pocket for some dental work
Jackson Nguyen
...
Robert Morales
I'm 26 and I still haven't finished my bachelor thesis for my useless degree. Haha pls kill me.
Angel Thomas
Yeah, I'm not gonna quit. I'm basically already done with the thing. Just need to write 5000 words or so. Never failed an essay so I doubt I'll fail this one. It's just that I can't summon the will to do it. I don't want to engage with what happens after I turn it in. As for what made me do an MA in the first place, that's also the depressing part. I went to university for two reasons. First, because I have literally zero ambitions or dreams and just do stuff because other people expect me to. I'm somewhat intelligent and my parents expected me to go to uni, so sure, why not. I also did it because I, as a naive child, thought that simply the fact of having a university education would get you the 'good' jobs. I didn't particularly care for studying, but I figured it would pay off. So I just picked something that I felt would be at least moderately interesting. Now I feel like it probably won't, and wish I'd just bit the bullet and went for the 0% interest study that I know now will pay off rather than this 30% interest study which is pointless. Wish you didn't have to decide this sort of shit when you're a fucktarded teenager. I'd happily just work some classical mindnumbing prole job my whole life on account of having the no hopes and dreams thing, but increasing automation and the threat of upcoming crises makes me sceptical of how sustainable that future is. I also hate how I have literally zero traits that would induce anyone to hire me. I have zero useful skills on account of university teaching you nothing except how to write essays. I have poor social skills and hate working in teams. I have no ambitions or goals and no reason to do any job beyond accumulating enough money to survive; the only thing that drives me is fear. I also have no previous work experience because I always prided myself on being frugal and not needing any extra cash, until I stopped being retarded this year and realized that the purpose of such menial student jobs is not the money but the 'work experience'. So really, why hire me for any job at all? I certainly wouldn't.
Of course he hasn't otherwise he wouldn't be such a neolib shit

I overcame this by forcing myself to write the whole thing in one or two sittings over 24-36 hours. After the first hour I find it's way easier to power through the doubt and build enough momentum to carry you over the finish line. Save several days for a complete edit where you print out your thesis and edit it on paper, it's easier to catch weird phrasings and subtle errors you'd probably overlook on a screen. As for what comes next… Story of my life. If I had my time back I'd just tell myself to take a 3 month painting course at trade school and write for magazines on my weekends. This is an issue, but it probably isn't going to seriously affect any of us until we're older (at least for automation) And most of these crises would probably disproportionately affect white collar workers more than blue collar workers, since you're still going to need people to chop down trees or can crab. This is surprisingly less of an issue than a lot of professional students and academics make it out to be. There are loads of jobs out there that require someone willing to show up, pay attention to instructions and not fuck up through an 8-hour shift. Usually these jobs suck fucking ass, are in the middle of the wilderness or a combination of both. If anything, your ability to be frugal and not needing that daily latte makes you a fine candidate for living in a work camp or in Alaska or wherever. If you're willing but not desperate, there are loads of people who are willing to take you in. They're typically in fields such as fishing, agriculture, ESL jobs (that degree of yours can probably get you one of these, though make sure to research the employer to avoid scammers) and so on. And hey, if you have a few IRL friends don't be ashamed to ask if they know of anyone looking for help. What are they going to do, beat the shit out of you because you've mildly inconvenienced them with a question?
Whatever you do, remember it's your fucking life and not porkies. Just get that money required to stay alive, put away something for the big happening, read your theory and figure out what you actually want to do with your life.

so that thing would be saying that its subhuman soul would've been incarnated as a master race soul instead? and if "mind > matter" and becoming a trans-master racist is possible then the only real difference is what? the host bodies biology? does that mean they could create cyborg jews that they'd consider "decent" transhuman fellow master-racers?

Lucas Nguyen
eh, there are some tech-libertarians.
most politics seems like this tbh. i mean, even now i (and i'm sure others) make such instinctual decisions towards certain policies without actually doing deep research on them. actually if you want evidence for it, there's Thomas Friedman's old "I once wrote an essay in favour of a free trade agreement without even knowing what the agreement contained, just because it had the words 'free trade' in it." confession. If evidence is necessary, I mean, you can dig it up later. tbh it's also why I'm a SocDem on Holla Forums - in normal """centre-left""" circles, there's a much greater tendency to want to be "realistic" or "trust the experts*, this is necessary.", while i'd rather crash capitalism into the ground and bring about a second USSR than surrender full employment. (which of course runs very close to just wanting to burn down capitalism in general.
*often what they're being "realistic" on is something like austerity, which even centre-right actual economists will often argue is a stupid response to a recession.
Isaac Reyes

Luis Davis
Why do aut-rightists call themselves centipedes?

Austin Gonzalez
It probably is. Because your brain wants to conserve energy and research takes effort. Bruh, I had greade school assignments like this where I was expected to write persuasive essays on a topic with zero knowledge of it. This is a debate tactic designed to make people stop thinking. It's called a thought-terminating cliche. By slapping a label (which carries a pre-set conclusion) on something you are basically dangling a carrot in front of the energy-optimizing part of the brain. It's generally stronger (in the sense of a stronger habit) than the reasoning parts of the brain because that's human nature evolved from our history of scarce resources and need to optimize. It's entirely possible to fix habits like this, butit's also in the interests of profit for lots of people to encourage simplistic thinking like this. The result is mass media propagating the heuristics, repeating them ad nauseam to reinforce the bad habits and "soft program" people like some kind of Manchurian candidate. It's useful for controlling votes, clicks, and purchasing decisions.

Jordan Hughes
Yeah, EU4 is the way to go. Make sure to pirate it though, as the DLC have really gotten out of hand.
Matthew Walker
I say only pirate it if you need to. I felt it fair to give the creators probably ~$150 over the course of three years considering I have almost 900 hours played and the game was continually updated over that time. But definitely pirate it at first to see if you like it. You need to buy at least two DLC (art of war, common sense) for the base game to even be playable IMO

I think the volunteers should honestly go on strike to force the BO to stop being so autistic. Banning people for wrongthink about bobby mugabe is almost as stupid as banning people for calling others stupid.
The great thing about Holla Forums was how comfy it was compared to reddit and tumblr, no call-out culture and you wouldn't get dogpiled for an off-colour joke. I've only been here a few months and I don't want to see this place become another uptight echo chamber
I have a feeling BO or one of the volunteers realized they overreached. Yours isn't the only one they've undone in the past hour
Ayden Ramirez
Please don't act like you know how this place operates when you haven't even been here for half a year. This has been a consistent problem for over a year and the present state of things was a natural conclusion to the growing contempt the BO and moderators feel towards the userbase. You can't be a leftist, you have to be a specific kind of leftist with specific ideas or you'll get kicked out. It's fucking depressing how badly this board has fallen since its glorious inception back in 2014.

I would like to say a few words. About how capitalism kills an inordinate number of people via what Zizek calls objective violence.
Living in Latin America, the most obvious example of objective violence by far is the huge crime rate. The continent didn't use to have it this bad a few decades ago, but one by one, pretty much all countries went through a surge in crime that never went down, largely caused by the drug trade. Venezuela, for example, only had this surge a few years ago. Here, it happened in the 90s. Ever since then, we have had plenty of avoidable deaths due to crime, a very lazy calculation on my part says 800k, to say nothing of the victims' relatives and non-fatal victims. By comparison, in communist countries, the rate of violent crimes was close to zero. But people can and do get used to the most bestial conditions, so long as they happen slowly, over a large enough timespan. And capitalism has a knack for normalizing its contradictions. I mean so what if we have a murder rate higher than fucking Syria, it's just a part of life, right? Nothing we can do, no one's fault, let's all just carry on and avoid going out at night instead of point fingers.
Being a victim of a violent crime is one of the possible fates that befell my brother this morning. He lives in another state, some 700km away, in a safe 'condominium'? Dunno if that's the right English word. Anyway, he was supposed to check in for a plane trip, but didn't, and neither did he transfer his time slot, and he isn't answering calls to his home phone and mobile. Worrying enough by itself, even more so by his standards. I figure that the most likely scenario is some sort of kidnapping (and hopefully nothing worse) as he went from his home to the airport. Cue the hidden victims of capitalism via objective violence.
The second most likely scenario is that he's locked in his apartment in need of medical help, unable to answer the phones or the doorbell. The condominium staff claim not to have spares, altho I'm fairly sure they're forced by law to have them in case a cop needs them, and they won't let a locksmith in unless he's accompanied by a relative of the resident. Kicking the door in, only in the presence of a policeman, because you see, someone has to pay for the door. We obviously say we'll cover the costs, but they refuse because I figure they can't know for sure we're the resident's relatives as opposed to pranksters trying to get them stuck with the cost of a door. So what if my brother may be dying there, they can't risk destroying a door for nothing. Seeing as we're in another state (police forces are managed by state governments here), calling in a police emergency to bust a door down isn't simple. We tried to convince them to go there and kick the door in, we'll pay for it, yadda yadda, but he too can't trust a random joe's electronic voice in order to bust into someone's apartment, because the landlard might sue the state. You see, someone would have to pay for the door.
Either by crime rates that put wars to shame or by the cost of a fucking door, my brother might have joined the highest ranks of the victims of capitalism.
Merry fucking Christmas.

the problem with /leftpol/ is that it's too slow. this isn't a problem for discussion - replying over multiple days is more than tolerable - the problem is that threads don't die which means they clutter up tabs while you wait in case someone replies months later.
Nolan Hall
Your brother is just enjoying the liberty communists would deny him. He voluntarily chose to get into that trunk over being shot, so there was consent. Seriously though, I hope it turns out well.

Okay so I'm going to try and piece together the Kraut and Tea drama from what I absorbed through osmosis. A liberal German youtuber did a series on race science, and he based his arguments on requiring a nonstandard measure of proof, which caused an autistic spergout. He then proceeded to inexpertly try to dox a few aut rightsts, and was driven from the internet. Do I have the right of it?

I doubt there are 200 ☭TANKIE☭s here, but I imagine the redditors and twitter ☭TANKIE☭s would like to see this place die. Regardless of that, BO seems to be sperging out more and more while /leftpol/ is the only feasbile substitute. As such I think posting regularly on both boards and going out of the way to post OPs on /leftpol/ are necessary to ensure that there is an easy and ready option in the increasingly likely case the BO has a meltdown and cripples the board.

I want the FALC utopia but I also want the cyberpunk world from Ghost in the Shell where I can download my brain into any kinda magic sex demon body I want and have 14-hour MMOrgies in between real-world programming competitions to see who can create the best bio-targeting system for a human wielding a .50 Barrett hitting clay pigeons at 5000 metres Of course, my geohell neoliberal dream that I actually want to accomplish is that I want to go to Japan and hire a prostitute to give me a nursing handjob while she is in cosplay. It's part of a larger three-week trip in Japan, which combined with trips to Comiket, Akihabara and Nakano Broadway is my only real bucket list item. I've had this idea kicking around in my head since around 2014, but the idea only really coagulated into an actual plan (complete with cost estimates, risk analysis for STDs, logistics, etc.) earlier this year after I came across a number of booking websites for cosplay deliheru agencies. A lot of them are wary of serving filthy pig-dog hibernians but the shitty economy has pushed some to advertise as bilingual/gaijin friendly. Reading My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness also gave me an extra push towards this since I have a bunch of hang-ups about trust and intimate relationships with others and I doubt I'll be able to overcome them and have a normal relationship with a girl. I don't even really want to have actual sex with the girl, I haven't been attracted to penetrative intercourse in years. I just want to act out my favourite doujinshi scenes, all of which involve extensive paizuri, nuru and nipple play. I'd also like fellatio but a condom blowjob doesn't really seem worth it. What I'm REALLY tore up over is what character I should have her cosplay as. I'm divided between Yuyuko, Hiro-san or Mio Akiyama, but I'm going to have one or two shots (pun intended) at this since I doubt I'll be going on a second trip unless I get some cushy civil service job at the Department of Being Racist or whatever. (And that's assuming global capitalism lasts long enough to let me build up enough savings for a second trip). It really boils down to whether I want to molest some delicious titties wrapped up in a seifuku or a yukata and trying to choose has been way harder than I had imagined.
Sounds like she broke it
You must think I'm fucking nuts then

Also, that is a very pathological fantasy tending towards fascism, what with it revolving around surrendering agency to some parental unit who will then take care of you and provide for you as long as you submit to their authority with the erotic pleasure provided consisting of said authority approving of you submitting to it and so on.
William Brown
"no" but in the tone when principal skinner refused chalmers permission to view aurora borealis.
sexuality is inherently fascist
Isaac Kelly
What about a Spartacus fetish where you seize control and dominate an authority figure? because I've always wanted to do that with the girl rping as a cop or soldier with rapeplay or bondage and creampie
Kayden Jones
You wanna cream a cop? That't not a bad idea, we leftists should convert more people to our cause with rigorous fucking.
Parker Moore
No, a comrade qt(female) dressed as a cop because most lady cops are dykes or nasty.
Aaron White
I've always wanted to fuck a liberal girl
Julian Lee
It's ok, they're likely to want to get choked but not many are really into rough shit and they're boring as fuck to talk to. If you lift and don't look like an autist you should be able to pull more than a few using an app.
Ethan Gray
It's why I usually don't end up dating them, they're very boring. I seem to get with anarchist chicks.
Michael Smith
Well they're easy to fuck so if you want to just get a tinder or something.
Liam Peterson
You've never fucked a nasty dyke before? How have you lived this long?
Landon Hill
Well I fucked a bi girl who was andro and into some fucked up shit, but I've never fucked a nasty looking dyke I have no idea fam, given my previous drug habits and careless driving I should have died a long time ago.
Jason Scott
The notion of a tinder disgusts me. It's the horrifying to see love and relationships worked down to some silicon valley allegorist. A true loving comrade lasts forever.
Joseph Diaz
Can someone do me a favor and get a watchable video archive of this old YouTube video (youtube.com/watch?v=tRw8jxWRxog) its from a now dead socialist YouTube account and the BBC trying to censor history got the video taken down but thankfully Reddit is good for once and archived the original link.
Eli Parker
Why? It's just the natural outgrowth of technology and capitalism. I don't see any reason to be particularly disgusted at that compared to the rest of our capitalist hell. Na man, sometimes people just break up or someone dies.
Dylan Peterson
My boyfriend of 1 year left me to fuck sluts on grindr :'(

I personally don't feel like it's some all-encompassing, totalitarian power relationship. If I did feel like that I'd be seeking a mommy on fetlife to baby me or whatever. My sexual fetishes are just one compartmentalized aspect of my life, and choosing to give up control to a benevolent authority figure in a love hotel doesn't mean I'm going to start advocating for a state animated by glorified violence against the enemies of fascism. If anything it's more like advocating for a single-payer, state-run healthcare provider. I see a specific problem where remaining independent (through paying out of pocket or through private insurance) does nothing and my preferred alternative course of action is to cede individual liberty to a demonstrably more effective authority (a government-run health care provider) within that specific instance. My support for universal health care free at point of use does not mean that I'm immediately supportive of expanded police surveillance, state censorship or blanket firearm bans.
I laughed at this more than I should have
Nolan Lewis
I'm 29 years old today and I've never had a gf and I work a dead end job. What is point of living at this point. No one will ever love me
Adam Peterson
Can someone do me the world's biggest favor and do a decent edit of this so that fios has 3.(anything)% coverage. I need it for a ruse since the idea I live in let's me pick fios (even if I have to move) instead of just Comcast. I'm debating with an Ancap so this would be nice.
Josiah Long
Being alone is only lonely if you want it to be
Jaxson Rivera
That's fucking bullshit and you know it
Isaac Brown
He's right, but not for the reasons he thinks. It's really easy to not have a girlfriend when you have actual friends you enjoy spending time with. I highly recommend making friends, it's top-tier.
Logan Phillips
How do you make friends?
Carson Cook
Eh I was looking for a space based one specifically.
I'll just play EU3 then perhaps.
Kevin Perez

Isaiah Miller
You go some kind of public social gathering, listen to what people are talking about, and go talk to someone about something you like. If that sounds difficult, I recommend getting over it.
Ayden Jackson
nighty night
I am literally more anxious when I am around most people. Carrying on conversations, going to parties and doing other friend things is physically exhausting for me and I prefer to isolate myself for the majority of my free time.
Outside of my immediate family I have exactly one friend IRL left over from when I did my B.A. That and karen is enough
Make new interests, preferably normie interests like sports and pop culture media. You can get only so much mileage out of watching iranian parliamentary fistfights with your friends Listen to cum town for a few episodes if you want some ideas If this sounds fake and gay, it is, but feigning interest in other people's hobbies is how I've successfully networked for gig jobs so far
Blake Butler
this doesn't work unless you define acquaintances as friends tbh acquaintances make me feel lonelier than being alone, since i lose that solidarity with people who're alone on the internet without actually gaining any reliable friend.
David Miller
fucking cringe
Anthony Kelly
Pol hardly ever manages to get more than 2.5k IPS nowadays. People are failing to keep track of Holla Forums.
William Barnes
Do you think you're just magically going to have a connection with someone and instantly understand each other? You can't just skip acquaintanceship and go straight to being friends, that's fucking retarded.
Michael Hill
with every friend i've had in past, there's been a quantifiable sense of progress over time. (this wasn't always linear, sometimes people who would become best friends for a time began as sworn enemies, but even there there's a process of withdrawing from hostility and then becoming close) each acquaintance since has been noticeably stagnant. there have also been cases of remarkably fast-forming friendships, usually around a given pretence. (i.e. like co-operating in a single game and then spreading outwards into future things.)
it's not like i'm a retard with no experience of how this works, it just doesn't work anymore possibly as a side effect of no longer dealing with (and being) 14 year olds.
Robert Hall

Kevin Torres
That will be better for all parts involved.
How many degrees of mutual your-approval-of-my-submission-toyour-aproval-etc are needed before it ceases being fascistic?
I keep saying every act of penetration is imperialistic, but no one listens to me.
Is it possible to still look like an autist despite lifting? That was rhetorical question by the way, I'm living proof.
Jaxson Harris
There is nothing you could change about your life that would suddenly generate such a purpose. Life is inherently pointless; do with it as you please, it matters little.

Chase Campbell
Style your hair (please use conditioner). Get glasses that fit your visage. If you are lifting, build up fat as well otherwise you'll look like an old prun (as depicted). It's really not that bad.
Dylan Adams
This better?
Christopher Sanders

Andrew Brooks
There is a software project I would like to start but my coding skill are too basic and I'm years away from being able to properly do it. What do I do then? Can anyone help or should I keep it to my self for a while?
Jace Wood
Write a design document. Some things might be easier than you thought and if nothing else you will have to write one eventually anyway. Work on it sporadically. It's good coding practice (you usually don't code long term) and your code will get better as you become more experienced. Cumulatively you will get quite a length ahead.
Wyatt Ortiz
That could work but making code snippets is still out of my reach, I'm only 5 chapters in the c language primer, 160 pages out of 800 but hopefully later on the year I can doodle some code.
Evan Collins
What kind of software? I might be able to help.
Samuel Jenkins
He somehow looks worse without the extra fat on his face.

Liam Miller
As a NEET wizard with some years of experience and a similar outlook on life, I know that feel and whatnot. I'm guessing you have no sense of self-worth, and you think that it's something that can only come from outside, especially from other people, whether one or a collective. Despite knowing better, you can't stop feeling that the "right to live" is something people should prove they deserve. It's something you can't create by yourself, only extract it from others and accumulated. Sounds familiar? Now I'm not saying capitalism created this twisted mentality, it's probably as old as the prefrontal cortex. But capitalism is making it epidemic. From psychological pathology to reigning paradigm.
You're not helping, user.
I agree on its inherent pointlessless, but I'd argue that the only, or at least the best, way to find meaning is exactly through such a sudden generation. Having lived our whole lives this way, we can tell there was nothing we "grew to love", nothing that became a reason to live after a long time being taken for granted. Things that once meant the world to you can lose their importance, but everything that had no importance will almost certainly remain so your entire life. An epiphany, some sudden revelation that gives him or me a reason to live, is admittedly very unlikely, yet our only hope. Well, that or illegal drug therapy. Which, come to think of it, is like an induced epiphany.
Julian James
All I got for my parents this year is a fucking card with some nice words and the claim that I ordered something which didn't come in time (in reality I probably buy something once I get money). I ran aground financially this year, I don't even know how to afford a train ticket to visit my hometown for new years
Nolan Taylor
What the fuck
Ian Harris
How?
Xavier Clark
Heating. Is normally included in my rent, but by the end of the year my landlord sends me what is still due. Last year I even got 24€ back. I was heating a little more last year because of the longer winter, and for some reason the bill skyrocketed. I called my landlord and he said "don't heat, wear a jacket inside". Capitalism 3/10, would not try again.
And yeah, I had people looking at this bill and it seems to be alright. Right now I'm -250 on my bank account, and have about 20€ left in my wallet. Good times.
Asher James

Im not even sure the Chinese are hardcore fans of mao. One of the funniest quotes about mao the chinese have about mao is "Mao was 70 percent right and 30 percent wrong."
The russians probably feel the same. Under stalin they were a super power. It was the glory days for them.

I have been lifting for 2 years, and I look worse off than the left photo. It's getting harder and harder to bother going to the gym.
"It's the one thing in life where effort guarantees results", they said.
Capitalist States tend to keep capitalism legal.
Chase Foster
I've been lifting, dieting and doing cardio for nearly 3 years (little over a year on a full week schedule) and I don't look like that guy on the right either. I am clearly muscular and do look fairly healthy. That said, my motivation is that I just enjoy lifting; if you don't feel unmotivated then I can't change that for you, but do ask yourself if it's worth stopping now.

speaking of wikileaks, Assange's twitter is gone now. Not sure if he was suspended or deleted it himself. I'm not sure what's worse though, the liberals calling him a rapist and a terrorist or the alex jones-style republican pizzagaters who kiss his ass 24/7.

Been making a mental index of people of report who posted on Holla Forums. Got me wondering: do Anarchopac, Muke and Nix still associate with Holla Forums at this point?
