if you know you know and if not I will tell you when there’s confirmation. until then business as usual.

edit: Leader of Hamas Politburo Yahya Sinwar, resistant fighter all his life, was martyred on October 17 while fighting IOF on the frontlines in Rafah, Gaza, AK-47 in his hand. This has been confirmed by the PFLP on al-Mayadeen and so the moratorium is lifted.

      This. PFLP and DFLP both have confirmed it now. I amongst many was hoping it wasn’t true but he died fighting and dispelled all the zio propaganda about him hiding behind hostages in a bunker. Every accusation is a confession in the end.

    You have to admit it is pretty funny seeing exactly the same people who dismissed all of the Russian milbloggers (often meaning drunken Serbians and Macedonians and whatnot but let’s keep this curt and simple 😅) jump into the fray and use their “IRAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS WHERE ARE MY SHELLS???” posts to portray the resistance as divided and ineffectual.

    We are witnessing a live instruction course on how the US controlled global intellectual apparatus is still able to control foreign and domestic opposition.

          I didn’t even know about it when I was writing that.

          Can you picture a more heroic death? I tell myself that I am getting the picture these days, sometimes, but the idea of a man like that engaging in a standard front line raid, it is jawdropping to me. I am awestruck honestly. I admit now I know nothing about their operations. All we know is media criticism. We are blind. Every day they live out heroism that is beyond the wildest fantasies of the shitty fucking writers who inspired us as children. There is a wild confrontation awaiting all of us, and avoiding it will only degrade and torture us.

        Specifically that tirade was directed at both left Nietzschians and right anti-imperialists (all terminally online) who were casting doubt on Iran after Haniyeh’s assassination, but it is a larger pattern that I only noticed around then. The latter calling Pezeshkian Armenian before realizing he was Azerbaijani and having to backpedal on the wild speculation was sidesplitting to me. The implications are grave though. 2/3 Iranians are reformists. It’s not a fucking fifth column. The world is a complex place and every single mistake is measured and adds up, but in 360 degrees of unpredictable trajectories and sudden deceptive discontinuities.

        Of course the left Nietzschians are you guys and since I came into your cage I will not go after you for the same reason I would not threaten any animal in a cage. So we will stick to the right anti-imperialists. While the Russian media can say things outside the scope of the Western narrative, many actors in state media and the online “military blogger” community continue to parrot Western psyops. [DISCLAIMER: VAGUE, INDETERMINATE SCOPE, HEAVY ON VIBES] Russia is getting back on track, so to speak, but I can’t overlook the way that like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the idea of a successful insurgency kind of scares the shit out of them. It really is due to the power of the US educating most of the world’s institutions from the inside, disciplining them from the outside. In spite of all that

          left Nietzschians

          What does this mean? Not criticizing, genuinely curious what category of thought(/action?) you have in mind here.

            The basis for most leftists is not materialism but idealism rooted in the tradition of German imperialist philosophers like Heidegger and Nietzsche, who have been venerated and smoothed over and venerated again and then denied by the intellectual apparatus (the system of universities and journals that decides which ideas are received by anyone) until everyone has their own little micro tradition of Nietzschianism to suit their tastes. Nevermind their actual Nazi beliefs. It didn’t bother Chomsky or Foucault or Zizek.

            Of course, nobody engages directly with intellectuals. You don’t even read, or even pay attention to the alt-media which whether branding itself as left or right has roots in the same intellectual tradition, you may occassionally still engage with the Jon Stewart style kids’ entertainment/comedy adaptstion of the same ideas, but you guys get all of your news through the new pyramid scheme of Google and Amazon content creators.

            So, it is no trouble for you to deny the entire intellectual tradition. You don’t even know particularly where “your youtube guy everyone should check out” got his ideas, but at least he seems to talk like he knows what he is saying. And since he was likely bred on The Young Turks and other things like that, he is still many steps away from even investigating where he gets his ideas from.

                It’s someone that has this wierd fixation with being anti western leftist, bashing podcast people and twitch streamers and maybe? believes this site is too shitpost-y and that it isn’t purely a theory club or something to that effect

                Which,they’re not wrong,per se,but they are very smug about it for some reason,kinda condescending

                I dunno,that’s what I got from it anyway, personally they just sound very annoying and act like they know something no one else here does

                Again,maybe I misinterpreted them,and I’m willing to retract all my statements,but that’s just the vibe I got

              Your account is 19 days old and you’ve replied to multiple people on a self-wanking self-indulgent “muh idealism” in response to an account that had nine “updoots”.

              In the interaction you had with a few people, you paint a very big brush. Idealistic, don’t you think?

              And yes, I’m being a dick. You’re being smug and just assuming shit about people.

                  Pretty much what I deduced. I was gonna try to peck at it and see if they had anything of value. They’re obviously not dumb, but stuck in a complete self-walk cycle. “I’m so very pleasant!”

                What are you even talking about LMAO? Can’t find any other words to express your disgust than “ew new person”?? I’m not assuming anything, I’m making completely obvious observations about the community and you’re taking them personally because they are accurate. You just disagree with my conclusions because you lack the historical context for your own beliefs. Anything else to say or do you just want to rage?

                If you want a more complete summation, I could go into the Gonzaloist Maoist flavor of posters around here, but why even waste time on that?

                  If you don’t remember, that’s fine. It’s not that I’m going “ew new person” it is that you haven’t been around to see what the community actually is if you’re speaking from a standpoint of 1 month. I’m not “disagreeing” with you in that yes, we do have some “idealists” and certainly not a lack of idealism in some places but more often than not something unique I’ve noticed is that a lot of them leave/get tired, genuinely learn some grounding and start digging into theory other than just Marx alone or eventually say some shit and get banned. I can go on a complete summation about that as well.

                  Speaking from a view of about 19 days, engaging with one or two idealists and then painting the entire website as “The Idealist Forum” (Should I screenshot that too?) sounds, I dunno; a bit short-sighted and an analysis consisting of nothing more than personal reaction without knowledge of previous history.

                  There’s the self-wanking part, too. “I’m not assuming anything. I’m making completely correct unbiased observations. You’re just mad” (Paraphrasing, of course.) and of course the smugness. Oh and assuming that you being new has to do with anything. I’m “new” too compared to some users.

                Here let me put the part that is most pertinent to your situation at the forefront so you don’t get all tuckered out after two paragraphs. I’m a real pleasant individual about these things. 😁

              I cannot speak for anyone else, but idgaf who is considered an “intellectual” or not. I engage with the material especially of communists who have not only put time into theory, but also put theory into practice, and anti-imperialist material that helps inform on history as well. George Jackson, Lenin, Mao, Parenti, for example.

              So far, I’m not really clear on what any of this has to do with lemmygrad. It reads like something a person might say to the podcaster “left” who has no ideological grounding and may never have read a word of communist literature in their life. Though when you get to this part:

              So, it is no trouble for you to deny the entire intellectual tradition.

              You really lose me. Because then it sounds like you’re saying there’s some kind of school of intellectualism people should be valuing over theory and practice, which is strange to say in a place like this, to say the least.

                By criticizing an entire community as not completely, thoroughly materialist or not completely read in “intellectual tradition”, they’ve ironically gone completely around and become idealist.

                It’s actually a non-criticism, since of course we are supposed to (and strive to) beat the idealism out of us that we grow up with. It’s already a given -everybody knows that.

                So it looks like they are just using that and their “intellectual tradition” to pat themselves on the back.
