YIKES! That would be disgusting. Can you put in a source?

Exactly. It has been pretty top notch for the last three years but aside from gaming it has probably been ver good for 5-10.

Yes, thats what I meant.

Its an interesting yet troubling read. The sectarianism kind of reminds me of the way the owner class divides workers in the west. It feels like a similar mechanic.

Do you live in syria or have family there?

I’m highly interested to learn more about syria. The geopolitical situation globally is hard keep track of imho, even if only vaguely.

From somewhere I read that syria used to be less oppressive but i’m not sure about that. Can you share some insights? Why is shit hitting the fan?

Important note: Linus Torvalds was recently seen in a first ever photo with bill -the biggest farm land owner in the US and the reason covid vaccines are patented - gates. This could be the reason. Of course they are surveiling the percentage of competition in THEIR market. So - tinfoil hat ON - if torvalds gets funky ideas now or we start seeing major shifts in policy, we need to raise the alarm immediately.

Well, we (linux nerds) have been saying that for a long time now. It is just not reaching people. And of course that is only for people absolutely want to play games. Everyone else who uses windoze is just coping.

Especially the conclusion is great. I enjoyed reading that.

I would like to add, from a german but still very similar perspective, that we call these people “klassenflüchtling” or class refugees. Those who may have been born into the working class and were forced to sell their labour first but through (white and/or male, etc) privilege were able to get out of the system, mostly.

Ha happened to have this arc and therefore have insight knowledge.

I happened to be reactionary too since I had no meaningful education and did work for 80 hours a week to get out of that shit.

But i turned when I learned how deep that system goes and how cruel it really is.

Back to the population: its the same people here that go reactionary BUT the “lumpenproletariat” has highly propagandized anti islamic, anti immigrant, anti science perspective (thats also a world i have live in and what I was taught by my immigrant parents too btw.)

I would therefore surmise that the “classes” (which i dont believe in, they are meant to divide the working class) are differently radicalized. The lumpenproletariat is being fed the most blatant, science denying lies by axel springer billionaire media. The “normal” working class is being taught to be “lifestyle unradicalized leftists” and the class refugees are being fed the “they’re taking your life’s work away” narrative.

The “petite bourgeoise” would be people that technically dont need to sell their work but either want to or are being made to believe they have to since what they have can be taken away tomorrow (which is correct but by others than they think).

It is also the same here that most if not all parties (we have the infamous multi party system) have stepped to the right and there is barely any leftist thought inside the parliament anymore.

In case a plan is to be mentioned: to counter this large scale project we would need to take out the media. They alone are the tool to radicalize most of the people. “Ahmed bad” runs on german TV, radio, youtube, etc 24/7 and is rarely interrupted by “kill nazis” (which the alt right afd is pretty aptly called by the leftists) which is again pitting the working class into a culture war to prevent them inciting a class war (e.g. civil war) against the capitalists.

No public transportation! We need dodge rams with only one seat! Cars should have a minimum size of two lanes! - average us politician probably

Its hard to listen to honest summaries and the pain and suffering the dying western hegemony causes. But its also painful to think about the excuses I would hear from every westerner I would show this to, including crocodile tears about how one cant criticize a response when people died while they do the same with other countries all the time. Its disheartening.

Exactly and that compounds. There is this saying “you can pull someone oyt of the gutter but never the gutter out of them.” Today i still get irrationally angry if someone wastes food or behaves wasteful or careless with my stuff. This shit stays.

And 20 yrs later you talk to a colleague and they rip into another colleague for wearing the same pants as yesterday

I would not piss on these people if they were on fire. I know its cruel and unepathetic. I dont care. I simply dont. I know I should, but i dont.

Being poor does that. When you’re bot able to attend school stuff bc they cost money or not having food at school or having to run around in hand me down clothing that doesnt sit properly, cheap shoes, etc. Kids notice. Boy do they notice. And being autistic on top didnt help the slightest.

But it still took nearly four decades to understand the roots of it all. I kinda started out slighty anarchist without knowing the term, very ungovernable. Much later I understood. Met other anarchists, got kinda bad vibes from them but couldn’t immediately point it out. Started reading, got the hint immediately. Today I avoid anarchist groups and here we are. :)

It really started when the covid clusterfuck ruined me. Then nothing, then my home country started drifting to the right, then politicians and media started to deviate from the reality on the streets. They kept underreporting stuff, overrepresenting different stuff and I began seeing the patrern everywhere. Again, thank autism I guess. :)

Very cool! Thank you. I just found that exact book recommended by others as well. I’ll have a look.

I just saw a text saying something along the lines: “concentrations camps, as seen by the soviets and germans” and it shook me. Even natopedia does not list the soviet union as users of concentration camps. Is there any good ressource to refute such a stupid claim?

I dont think prison is an appropriate term. Although the prison system in the US is arguably a gruesome torture industry, this has much more similarities with the german concentration camps. The chaotic, inhumane housing of masses of people in the worst of conditions with no regard to human rights and sometimes even active participation in torture and murder.

Btw concentration camps were (in the beginning) not where they primarily killed people. They detained them under very similar conditions and a lot of them died there a most gruesome death but they had “Vernichtungslager” as well which had the primary use of industrially killing men, women and children, burning them and or burying them (sometimes alive).

This is fascism. There are no two ways about it. We are watching the beginning of another reich. Capitalism is pulling out the knives.

I get real gloomy when I look at it from that perspective.

It occured to me that trump didnt surround himself with those three billionaires because they are the richest but because their combined reach is approximately 100% of the western world. They’re his propaganda ministers. Goebbels 1, 2 and 3. The systemic manipulation of people 24/7 towards fascism and dividing them more and more has no way back imo.

This will ultimately lead towards civil war in the west or global nuclear annihilation, whichever comes first.

This strongly reminds me of the german law that criminalized housing jews and took away all their tenants rights: https://dirkdeklein.net/2025/04/02/the-law-concerning-jewish-tenants-of-30-april-1939-a-key-step-in-nazi-persecution/

Its schroedingers everything outside nato. Russia is both completely incompetent but will overrun germany tomorrow (not joking, thats how german fear media argues). China is infiltrating the whole world with infrastructure that is both supporting terror regimes and too cheap to last a week, same as their engineers being slaves and building the most advanced buildings in the world.

I could go on for days. I recently dropped out of the brainwash machine and i’m regularly speechless of the mountain of lies.

Is there any literature on how the west was able to build this manipulation empire?

For the most part, he’s not wrong to do so. Unlike in most other administrations where the president’s office is a tightly-controlled environment with only a select few top aides given so-called “walk-in privileges,” Trump’s Oval is the center of his world of friends, confidantes, advisers and employees who often mill about nearby in the West Wing, even when they might not have much to do there.

I mean, sure. Thats totally normal, right?

There’s a new law which is supposed to come. Something about registers. It creeped me out so hard I didnt read all of it. Wife said they are starting with addicts who wer stationary “for their own benefit”. Well, that worked great in the past.

In germany they are starting to track disabled people btw. Not giving me the creeps at all. /s
