Lol apparently an (ex) Sledgehammer dev for COD is accusing Infinity Ward of being SJW, anti-American and ultra far left.

Sir, this is a military FPS video game. Be fucking for real.

Edit: God I wish it were those things, so they can stop putting fucking Isra*li operators in multiplayer that no one actually wants to play as.

A better world is possible.

alternate universe where the 1917-23 revolutionary wave is largely successful but emoji still end up a widespread thing so the flags section is just full of red rectangles

The Revolutionary resistance in Gaza is not just Hamas, but also the Marxist-Leninists of PFLP and DFLP. In order to otherize Palestine, Zionists largely choose to ignore this. Except when it serves their purposes of redbaiting or connecting the western left to "terrorists".

According to Israeli analysis, women revolutionaries of PFLP are more secular and educated, and hence those more likely to wear fashionable underwear. And so the IDF has chosen to turn even women's underpants into a weapon of war and humiliation. Where PFLP comrades have escaped before the IDF, the capture of their bra and panties serves as a substitute for their bodies. Keeping their underwear concealed is what allows them to be defined by their militancy not their female sexuality. Lingerie is a stark contrast with the functional military fatigues PFLP women are usually seen in.

In their misogynist pig narrative controlling something so personal, intimate, sensual from a defiant woman is to own her. To own a private piece of her that has touched her genitals. The parading of the sexy underwear of Marxist-Leninist women leaders seeks to divide them from their conservative Islamic society. They hope to demoralize them and their followers, by stripping away their dignity and respectability. A woman who can't defend her panties, can't defend her people. Israelis believe that Arab men will never follow a woman whose unmentionables have been publicly defiled. Ideally she will flee public life and be functionally neutralized as a PFLP asset.

It is not just a frat boy prank but psychological warfare against the secular Marxist wing of the resistance and its fierce, empowered militant women leaders. Assassinating women's dignity can remove them from the chessboard as effectively as death. Female leadership can be destroyed without even capturing them. The underwear of PFLP women leaders is considered a strategic resource to be captured and displayed as a victory banner. While Israeli strategists look down on Muslims as ignorant and superstitious, it is they themselves who have assigned an almost totemic and magical quality to Palestinian women's underwear.

Little reminder that Socialist Alternative is a political cult. Their main goal is recruitment and they do not care. They are known for being racist , especially to Blak people, they have caused little if any change and except hinder a lot of actions. Once you join they are incredibly hard to leave. This goes for their branch off orgs too, such as S4P, which have the same issues and ar just recruiting fronts. You cannot seperate them.

Sad little reaganite😂

You think I'm a fan of that union-busting, apartheid defending, illegally Contra funding, redbaiting piece of shit who let millions die of AIDS and had one of the most corrupt administrations in US history?

Shit, dude, I had a party to celebrate his demise back in 2004.

Hey, who wants a creative writing exercise? Make it believable, give 'em hell. If you remember Cold War redbaiting... get McCarthy's attention, and these idiots will believe... maybe not anything, but quite a lot. Tell them the fake people you're reporting are communists. Tell them you spotted communist propaganda. Anything to turn their brains off and make them believe your wild story out of a 70s/80s spy movie.

Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.

"...I could have been in Congress. Run in '48, redbait and sell the mouth-breathing California rabble on some cooked up fake Navy hero backstory. Fuck, I could have been President by 1960. Had to go into fucking engineering and start playing around with a bunch of doped up Pasadena satanists instead."

EP REVIEW: Wretched Empires – Bloom EP I hadn't registered so much as a whisper of St Louis trio Wretched Empires…until I learned that vocalist Tom Ballard was also the frontman for UK Sludge-Doomers Allfather.

here's the thing.

you seem really desperate to make this whole discussion about me and marxism-leninism specifically, acting as though the primary critique that has been leveled against me is a critique only applicable to marxist-leninists, and conversely, that my critique of antiwork anarchism is a critique that comes specifically from a marxist-leninist standpoint.

this is incorrect. the main thing i have been criticized for by you and others in this debate is that i think it's acceptable for a society to have incentives around labor (as every society that has ever existed has). this is a critique which applies not just to marxist-leninists but also to every single other ideology in existence which isn't antiwork anarchism.

conversely, my critique of antiwork anarchism- that it cannot adequately answer the questions "is it morally wrong for abled people to let disabled people because the abled people don't feel like performing the labor to keep the disabled people alive" or "is it wrong for abled people to use handicapped parking spaces/seats", are critiques which could be leveled at antiwork anarchists by virtually every ideology in existence, because virtually every ideology in existence can answer these questions better than antiwork anarchists can.

so when you go off on these tangents where you rehash these stale red scare tropes from the john birch society and accuse me of wanting to put everyone in re-education camps then work them to death in the gulag, (i don't, thanks for asking) aside from being disgusting character assassination it's also completely irrelevant to the debate. and sure, maybe by leaning on decades of right-wing anticommunist propaganda you could potentially poison the well and convince people not to listen to me because i'm a damn red communist, but eventually someone who isn't a marxist-leninist is going to make these exact critiques and you wont be able to try to change the topic of conversation by engaging in cheap redbaiting.

If that "lady at the food stamp office" thread hadn't gone around so heavily I might've never truly understood how much we differ at the moral level.

yeah well if that post hadn't gone around so heavily i might have never realized how many people i used to like and trust would join in on a smear campaign against me to deliberately de-contextualize and twist my words to punish me for not immediately conceding to a poorly constructed and nonsensical ideology.

Because the gotchas you're throwing aren't landing where you might've thought they would. I heard a lot of that kind of talk from evangelicals in the 1980s. Same blinkered notion that there was a clear binary morality in their positions. Same impassioned belief that I just refuse to see what's evident - due to moral pollution, or laziness, or a merely contradictory nature. Same empty appeal to God, minus magic.

this is very funny because you have repeatedly made clear that there are many things you consider to be clear moral binaries. see:

My philosophy is that coexistence is our only ethical option.

at any rate, don't be confused, i don't subscribe to the notion of there being an objective morality existing outside humanity. morality is something created by people to serve human interests- when the moral systems we've created aren't serving human interests, we can and should update them in response to this information. how well an ethical system functions is contingent on the existing material and social conditions.

so, understand that i am not saying "my moral framework is objectively correct"- rather, i am inviting the audience to consider the two differing ethical frameworks we're presenting, and to evaluate which one is more likely to lead to a more preferable outcome, most especially a better outcome for the well-being of disabled people.

my ethical framework holds that it's wrong for abled people to let disabled people die, and wrong for abled people to park in the handicapped space. your ethical framework, apparently, does not. and your ethical framework has no problem saying other things are morally wrong- cars, for example- but your ethical framework apparently can't call those two things wrong.

and by all means, feel free to have that ethical framework, but just be aware that it might make it harder to take you seriously when you accuse everyone who doesn't share your ethical framework of being an ableist who wants to put all disabled people in the gulag.

I think statist communists have an unsupportable belief in the innate excellence of their ideology. Refusal to update that canon in the face of pertinent and cogent critiques,

an unsupportable belief in the innate excellence of their ideology? a refusal to update that canon in the face of cogent critiques? i think you must be confused because that describes antiwork anarchism a LOT better than marxism-leninism. have you been willing to update your canon in response to my critiques?

asking questions and then preventing a reply, hm

@leviathan-supersystem,

1: you and I don't share moral fiber. what seems right & wrong to you aren't compatible with my morality. "Moral" is a nonsense word used between intimates, like "spirit" and "energy". Think about ethics: decisions made beforehand to prevent moral panic from justifying abuse.

2: I think automobiles have to be retired if there's going to be any kind of human society in the future. In the meantime, I leave those spaces open because I can walk, and it's good for me to walk. If I was unable to get into the Kroger, I wouldn't call the police.

I don't agree with you, with regard to morals particularly. My ethic is that despite that disagreement, all the freedoms I claim for myself are also yours, and everything I deny to myself is my business, alone. If you infringe on my free action, you're an obstacle, at best. Ethically, I won't shoot you. Morally, I won't want to. If you force me to, I will. Same goes for your work detail officers, minus the initial ethical pause, because: cops.

You want cops. Assuming you've successfully replaced the USA, and its police, the new ones won't have the backup or infrastructure to prevent me from shooting them. Your courts will be hated by all the people, and they'll be less likely to help you enslave & torture others.

This classically protestant fox-friendly campaign against human well-being that you go on is bizarre to me. It has a compulsive vibe, like, you know it's bad but just keep picking at it.

If you want servants, ask people. Don't pretend they have an obligation to serve you. Certainly not a "moral" one.
