hes out now

Laith Marouf has been released from detention.

The ability to hack/jam signals will make onboard AI very important. They have had to start using fiber optic cables to control suicide drones in Ukraine. You can’t do that with infantry for so many reasons.

I think the humanoid shape will be a novelty/specialty use case. Our frame is not the most efficient. We are tree dwellers who have adapted to life on the ground.

Sheep dogs bark. They never do what they say. Corbyn was never really forced to put his money where his mouth was because he was never in power.

But he had a chance to stand up for his anti-zionist comrades and instead he threw them under the bus. He apologized for “anti-semitism” in the party when he knew god danm well that it was anti-zionism.

Under his wing communists will be permitted to run though.

Oh so he isn’t just trying to soak up revolutionary votes he is also trying to co-op revolutionary candidates too? How is this a good thing?

This is pure idealism. When has that ever happened? This is just utopian dreaming.

Hot take: Being anti-genocide isn’t radical.

Refom uk is not for straying sheep it is to round up the wolves. labour was the velvet glove to the torries mailed fist but it was still the hand of the bourgeoise and it stepped past its role by backing the banderites and zionists. now labour is indistinguishable from the torries and as they are both losing support they will bind together and will need a new controlled opposition.

“more marxist leaning” is still a bourgeois bootlicker. He isn’t a revolutionary marxist he is a kautskyite.

My point being that left wing parliamentary action can be an effective way of spreading class consciousness;

No. Communist parliamentary participation can raise class consciousness. Social democrats use of socialist language disillusions people, often permanently. When they call themselves “Socialists” and their reforms fail it poisons the well for Real Socialists.

Corbyn’s base is quite radical

Exactly. That is why they need a sheep dog, to stop the voters from radicalizing. Corbyn is not a radical. He is a former Labour Party leader ffs. The new party will not be a revolutionary party and it will not threaten the dictatorship of the bourgeoise. He is making the party with another former labour MP.

You might as well be giving the benefit of doubt to Kautsky after 1919.

Corbyn is a social democrat he is not a communist. His purpose is to drive people who are disillusioned by bourgeois “democracy” back into the fold. He exists to diffuse revolutionary sentiment by offering reform. That’s what sheepdogs do.

Call it the sheep dog party.

A 2 state situation is not a resolution. The zionist entity is expansionist racist and genocidal in its very nature. There is no peace while it exists and thus no resolution. Even if they left the Palestinians alone they would attack the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Iraqis, the Egyptians because they are rabid fascists.

I used to get see a post or 2 on my social media feed about Gaza but suddenly it is flooded with politicians and news organizations saying that Gaza is a genocide and we need to end it. Is this a sign of the beginning of the end?

No charges yet. He was taken by military intelligence when going through a check point a couple days ago. Last I heard his lawyer hasn’t be able to see him.

Lebanese Journalist Laith Marouf has been arrested by the Lebanese military.

Larry johnson is a fucking idiot. 3 minutes in and hes spewing ignorant bullshit. Hamas doesn’t make their own explosives. They harvest them from israeli/american duds. They have explained this in their videos on a dozen occasions. But larry here is too busy talking shit to educate himself with those readily available facts.

Many people who use the phrase mean “lie about your credentials and hope you don’t get caught until you are too enmeshed to easily replace.” On the one hand its unfortunate that those people have been rather successful but on the other hand it seems like a capitalism problem and the enmeshed incompetence and fraud is just another part of the collapse capitalists have made for themselves. It does suck for the non fakers existing under capitalism but it is kinda fitting that incompetence would weave its way through the system.

I remember the moment where I chose to “fake it till I made it” and it was exactly in those terms.

I used to have serious self esteem issues. I was extremely bullied in school. I thought I was ugly and weird. I had major guilt complexes because of my evangelical upbringing. I was small and weedy for my age, I wore big hoodies and baggy clothes and didn’t like people looking at my face. Friends and family always told me I was good looking but I assumed they were being patronizing.

I also remember few years later the moment I realized I had “made it” and that I should probably dial down the faking it because at a certain point over confidence is as off putting as low self esteem.

What I meant by “If you don’t tell yourself that you are capable of doing something you will never be capable of it.” is that if you “know” you cannot do something you will not give it your best and more likely not even make an attempt because you will see it as wasted effort. Its the opposite of “you can do anything you put your mind to” its “You cant do anything unless you try to do it.”

A kid learning to ride a bike doesn’t need to get into mental gymnastics about telling themself they’re a good bike rider in order to do it, they just need to get a feel for it until it starts building in their muscle memory.

A kid needs to think that riding a bike is possible not that they are good. I was bad at learning to ride a bike. I could ride a bike just fine but I couldn’t believe I was capable of doing it.

I could ride when my dad was pretending to hold the seat. (I could “fake it”) He’d let go and run beside me for 100m telling me he was still holding on. Then he’d stop and I’d ride alone fro 100m but the second I noticed that he wasn’t running beside me, I crashed because I was so convinced that I couldn’t ride a bike. He’d tell me I had been riding by myself but I was so hurt that “he let me crash” I wouldn’t hear it. My self doubt would force me to disbelieve the reality that I had ridden on my own. I don’t know how he eventually broke through but eventually he convinced me I had “made it.”

Pretty sure making crack is just boiling coke and baking soda in water.

Liberals don’t exist. They are just self deluding fascists, or unradicalized comrades.

The word “fake” is a way of validating the feeling of imposter syndrome while encouraging people to push past it. The phrase is not about tricking other people. It is about tricking yourself. You are faking away your feelings of incompetence but they are often unjustified.

Its more effective than using a positive affirmation like “you are better than you think you are” because it allows people to keep feeling what they are feeling until reality proves otherwise. “you are better than you think you are” allows people to limit how much better they are while still undervaluing their capability. “Fake it till you make it” lets people feel like they suck until they realize that they really don’t and never did.

Vulnerability is nice but not if it is coming from low self esteem or unfounded emotions. If you don’t tell yourself that you are capable of doing something you will never be capable of it. Pushing your boundaries is the only way to find the true extent of your capabilities.

The saying is a way of conquering imposter syndrome. The advice is that you need to practice being the person you want to be instead of allowing unfounded fears stop you from trying.
