The fuck is it with liberals finding the aesthetic of oppression sexy? If you die without fighting your oppressors, you’re a sexy hero. If you fight back and attempt to liberate yourself from your oppressors all of a sudden you’re a hideous beast and suddenly it’s your oppressors who need all the backup in the universe to protect them from your “unprovoked” attacks.

It’s literally an ideology to disarm the oppressed and protect the function and integrity of oppressors (justifying mythos). These people want type shit where they believe bringing a bunch of flowers to your own fucking funeral is somehow noble praxis. Surrendering yourself to the enemy is how we’re supposed to win struggles… Well, why aren’t they suggesting such shit for the Ukrainians? They conveniently support force only when it’s the worst people imaginable perpetrating it.

Liberalism and the justifying mythos they leverage must be destroyed. Force works. Fuck these people who try to keep the oppressed docile.

Personally what intrigues me the most about breadtubers is how they become mild and inoffensive versions of themselves after becoming popular/well-off. Like, what causes that? Is it that the societal problems they criticized no longer applies to them? Is it the allure of advertising money? Is it secret CIA threats? I really do wonder.

The same exact cause for hungry as fuck “progressives” like AOC to settle and water down and tiptoe away from their original mission: They’ve switched classes and, therefore, their new class interests are in conflict with their original mission. What’s there to be hungry about anymore when you start being fed really well? Why continue trying to destroy the status quo when it’s benefiting you materially? This is why it’s important to maintain loyalties to class interests (in this case, the interests of the proletariat), instead of individuals who are susceptible to corruption. China does this very well and provides the blueprint.

I think they share the anxiety tone of this article’s author by worrying about leftists being on the rise.

Exactly. Leftists being on the rise in stable spaces where the state cannot easily intervene or back them up (liberal hegemony in crisis).

The creation cannot be stopped!

Censoring leftist opinions interests will be much harder.

We’re way too dependent on words like “opinions” and “disagreements” which are much, much better replaced with words like “interests” and “disputes”. This way, we can further eliminate the cultural phenomenon of debatebros talking people in circles.

Good take, though.

Most people wouldn’t let the first person they stop on the street sift through their camera roll. They want their achievements, failures, and little life moments to be kept sacred. So after a decade of airing our most intimate moments in public, the pendulum is shifting back. People are more selective with their communities and are reverting back to an old-school way of interacting. It’s hard to know how the change will affect the online atmosphere over the long term — some evidence suggests the shift will create a healthier digital experience, but it also risks further dividing people into like-minded echo chambers.

The collapsing of US state-affiliated social media platforms’ hegemony is finally upon us. They use these platforms for war (psychological warfare more than anything) and cheating, just like every other channel of influence, and working class people have had enough of being fucked over and manipulated, as well as being enslaved to doom scrolling. I’ve been patiently waiting for over a decade for this. Now, finally, people are pivoting back to high quality discourse and relationship building. We’re also increasingly seizing the means of communication (think Lemmy and other equivalents under the AGPLv3 license), which puts the control of culture firmly in our own hands.

That particular instance of invidious, I suppose, is. Never realized it.

Some of the most people I have ever known. It’s remarkable how disconnected they can be.

Can we get past the bullshit need to buy things from and sell shit to other people already? Make technology that actually fucking matters, that’s actually interesting and assists in national development, and frees up the common person’s schedule to engage in leisure, so we can all get the fuck on with our lives already?!

It’s boring as hell and annoying as fuck how commerce continues to chase after people and becoming an increasingly obstructive, invasive phenomenon. People don’t want their lives to be plagued with ads! Why do you think daytime television is on its deathbed (apart from being an endless sea of reality TV)? If we need something, we’ll fucking go looking for it.

Happiness, rejuvenation and prosperity for all are illegal in the US, and more increasingly in the West.

Those achievements in space you spoke of, by the way, were driven by the US’ need to save the legitimacy of capitalism in opposition to the Soviet Union and socialism. They only ever try to achieve anything when dual-power threatens to expose the liberal order as illegitimate, inevitably resulting in the revoking of all rights, dignity, and life itself to the global population. In this case, dual-power is not only exposing but also usurping the liberal order as the only sensible way forward (multipolarity and socialism in the pursuit of communism).

The US is now de-industrialized and cannot possibly run it back (collapsing the Soviet Union) for China’s unstoppable rise as the most advanced industrial power globally, since the social and material conditions no-longer exist to pull it off.

- You will be miserable, you will be exclusively downwardly mobile, you will own nothing, you won’t like it, and we relish in it.

The US, along with capitalism and the practice of liberalism is on its way out the door and this is just them grabbing everything they can in the process. Expect these tent situations to eventually be reduced to sleeping bags and towels in the interest of exploring this so-called “elastic philosophy of shelter”. Who knows, maybe they’ll even go as far as to masturbate the idea of minimalism and mind over matter to get rid of even those further reduced accommodations.

It’s not so much that the solutions are stupid, it’s that they are in direct conflict and contradiction to the interests of the working class.

See this post here: What is Class Conflict? Karl Marx’s Class Struggle Explained: Proletariat vs Bourgeoisie

Just curious here. What are your solutions to the endlessly decaying social and material conditions of the West?

Edit: I think I got caught in the bit again

Everything that crosses the horizon remains on the horizon in the form of a still afterimage that becomes increasingly redshifted until becoming undetectable.

Some hypotheses suggest that hawking radiation could carry this information back out away from the horizon, but it’s only a theory.

The light of the dying star has already long radiated away from the black hole. Once the star becomes a black hole, there’s no way for all that light that already escaped to just become captured. See this video here to get a short visual explanation, by the same YouTuber.

I always wonder if two observers were falling towards two different black holes that were the same mass, would they percieve each other’s clocks passing the same?

It would be roughly the same phenomenon as observing from the ship. Both persons would perceive the other’s clock slowing down as the light has increasing difficulty reaching the observer.

Presumably they wouldn’t be slowing down relative to each other, so long as they fell the same speed towards the same mass. Until at some they both cross the event horizon and shouldn’t be able to send signals anymore.

You said two different black holes, so there would be time dilation experienced by both when observing the other party. If they were falling together side by side towards the same black hole, their clocks would be basically identical and would experience time in the same way. Even after crossing the horizon, they’d be able to see eachother and interact up until they were spaghettified. This is because light can still move upwards relative to us, and reach our eyes, even if all space is falling faster than light. This was addressed in the video when talking about the local scale of spacetime below the horizon.

probably depends on how big it is right? Smaller ones would just rip you up with tidal forces instantly

In regards to the smaller ones ripping you apart before you even cross the horizon, it has to do with the actual distance away from the singularity itself.

Supermassive black holes will give you a pretty lengthy amount of time to make peace with yourself once you cross the horizon. Stellar mass black holes, not so much.

Regardless of the mass, you will undergo spaghettification at roughly the same place, based on the proximity to the singularity.

No fucking way. You’re telling me I can have an awesome place like this: Apartment Tour in China | What can $300 a month get you? 🇨🇳
As well as enjoy better freedoms like these?: Things You CAN Do in China (You CAN’T Do in America) Americans WON’T Believe It…

They do. They make science more understandable for laypeople (like myself) using concrete examples and correcting widespread misconceptions.

I’ve posted a few others in this comm if you haven’t seen them already.

The thing about leftists is we’re correct, so I’m not worried about winning you over this second. As far as I’m concerned, now that you’re realizing that maybe there’s more to this whole “leftism” thing than youve been lead to believe, I know you’re going to figure it out eventually.

Precisely. I don’t stress over any interaction with anyone, because I know the truth always goes the distance.

Lies have very short legs, and therefore do not go very far. Time and personal experience will take care of the seeds you have planted, so there’s no need to chase after anyone.
