  • Something with an accurate domain name

  • Public service announcement: this is c/genzedong. We take the principled Marxist-Leninist line on prostitution (i.e., that it is reactionary and exploitative). If you wish to defend prostitution, you may get in your time machine, go to r/genzedong circa late 2021, and once there join the reddit brigaders who, every single week and to the great annoyance of every principled Marxist-Leninist on the site, would try to start a "discussion" about it.

    It is not idiocy to decide you want to support a military you like by fucking them.

    A word of advice, however: don't start with that.

  • So reddit's favorite billionaire just changed the name of Twitter to "X." Kind of dumb, and I obviously don't like the Muskrat, but so many libs seem weirdly butthurt about it.

  • Goes to a predominantly Orthodox country

    Is surprised that some people actually follow Orthodox religious beliefs

    (Also, going to an active warzone to get laid and failing anyway has got to be a record low in both the sex tourist and the incel chronicles)

  • I saw this on reddit yesterday, and didn't click because I really didn't want it to be true.

  • The moon landing was meant to be faked. It's just that they hired Stanley Kubrick to do the photography, and he insisted on filming on location.

  • Yet another letter to be deleted from Elesky's name

  • Because the western left has become an op by the intelligence services. Most of them are more pro-imperialist than right-wingers like Medvedev.

  • BUT DO WE HAVE THE EDDA AND MONGOLIAN THROAT SINGING

  • Is the Hakenkreuz thing true? I was under the impression that the swastika was commonly used in Europe at the time as a symbol of "ancient wisdom" and of Europe's "Aryan" past -- especially by theosophists and the like. The Nazis simply adopted it because of its cultural resonance.

  • I've heard this one before.

    From neo-Nazis.

  • "So how did the date go?"

    "So many red flags..."

  • No worries, and no offense taken! (Personally, I don't have a dog in the race, just lowkey interested in ancient/medieval cultures).

  • very red

    Don't get my hopes up like that

  • It's that "Faustian western spirit" that Richard Spenser and his ilk like to talk about so much.

  • I think they're both cool.

    Racists end up missing out on a lot of cool in their lives.

  • Materially and historically, the goal is socialism. In terms of the conscious intent of those who promote it, the goal is nothing.

  • Animal intelligence and its products and human intelligence and its products are fundamentally the same.

    This may be true from the "outside" -- i.e., from the perspective of some hypothetical non-human observer -- but what it doesn't consider, I think, is the subject-object distinction so important to historical progress. Humanity experiences itself most purely as subject (intelligible) and the non-human worldmost purely as object (alien and unintelligible). Since humanity begins in bondage to external nature, the original traumatic experience is the collective discovery that subject is in fact, and from a certain view that may be considered more "correct," also object, and this with regard to the brute, unintelligible forces of external nature. Historical progress is humanity asserting and maximizing its subjectivity by control over the external world. Thus, dialectically, a real distinction between humanity and nature develops. Nature is that which cannot be known (by humanity) as subject, and over which humanity is struggling to assert control; humanity is that which can be known as subject, which itself struggles, and which is experienced as struggling. The precise boundary between the natural and the human is discovered and created within the conflict itself.
