I've read several news stories talking about the CIA's attempts at negotiations with the Israeli government, parallel with the US State Department's incredibly brazen charades, lies, coverups, and stonewalling. I've heard a couple times that the CIA has been actually attempting to move things back toward the status quo.

Now I see they've trotted out Obama's CIA director to go on CBS Sunday Morning to talk about Israel's terror attacks on Lebanon and directly call it terrorism. That's got to be coordinated with the current agency, and comes across as very intentional signaling. Matthew Miller is basically acting like nothing happened, while the CIA is publicly calling Israel a terrorist state.

My question is why? What are their incentives here? Are these stories just PR bullshit by the CIA? What does the CIA stand to lose in an all-out regional war, that makes them willing to go around the President and apparently make the only real efforts to negotiate?

Maybe it's common in China and I just didn't spot it.

They keep referring to the genocide as the 'Israel-Hamas war' even though there are other major factions like the PIJ, PFLP, Mujahedeen etc

Is there any evidence of them being a psyop?

Because well, I am Asexual, and well.... it is incredibly rare to find another Asexual person anywhere. Not to shame people for their interests, but I am not comfortable with a lot of posts, even if they are meant to be for a joke, implying that everyone gets horny, and/or that apparent "Peak Hedonism" or whatever it's called, is about having lots of sex. Again, something I am not interested in.

I have seen no signs of any Asexual friendly spaces on this site, not even in the LGBTQIA+ Subcommunity for this site. Although I have been socially isolated by otherwise queer friendly spaces before, for "only" being Asexual.

I don't understand why there are so many people who consider themselves "Marxist feminists", but at the same time are distracted by astrology.

The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don't know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don't see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).

They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.

And the same with some anarchists.

What do you think about it?

Because currently, I am forced to learn the subject Business Finance 381... from a Professor that seems to be an absolute idiot. For one thing, he demonstrated the flaws of democracy... by listening to the majority of his students, who said they aren't helped by a textbook, and not having a textbook assigned to his class, nor even having a designated textbook for his class, or having such a textbook available for helping to help people learn. So thus, as you can imagine, I am in the minority of students that is hurt by him listening to the majority, and I am without a viable textbook to find even at the college bookstore.

Are there communities on this site for finding appropriate books/textbooks to use?

lets say you have marx juice or some kind of consumable (or suppository) "marx pill" you could give to someone that would suddenly completely cure their reactionary, centrist, or liberal disease. lets say they are totally understanding and consenting to this transformation to avoid conversations about the lore

i was just thinking about dan carlin in another thread because communist dan carlin would be hilarious and pretty fun but then also not annoying. donald trump would be another good option, and i've seen that exact bit done like a half dozen times on this very site

who do you bring into salvation??????

I get the usage as a dig at do nothing office jobs, but what are these jobs really? I've never worked in an office or known anyone who did well enough to ask.

So what are these jobs actually like? How do they exist in the first place? Could I lie my way into getting one lol?

A few months ago I was listening to a podcast, I remembered it as Citations Needed but it could have been another adjacent one, where they interviewed someone from Electronic Intifada about NYT's journalistic malfeasance around the article "Screams Without Words". I've been looking for it and can't find it.

The part that stuck out to me the most was the mother of a daughter who was used as a puppet for these lies saying "she was only killed" and talking about what a miserable situation it is to be saying such a thing.

I have a car I need to sell in roughly a month, but it's been so long since I've sold a car so no idea what the process is like. I have a good idea of the value, and the car runs pretty good over all. It definitely has some cosmetic wear and the AC is out, but no check engine lights or anything big. Also has a rebuilt title since I bought it at a discount like that, but I've been driving it for years and no major issues. Where do I sell it these days? Are there any scams to watch out for? How do sites like Carmax work and are they worth it? I'd love to hear any and all advice.

Was he chastitymaxxing or was he just an incel groyperchan goon goblin?

The late great Jordan Peterson (most important intellectual of our times), author of "12 rules for life, an antidote to chaos", recently made the astute observation that Karl Marx could've been possessed by a demon. Is this true?

You've never touched a book outside of fucking kindergarten, yet you think you know more of communism than me, a fucking communist? Do you think im a baffoon?

Mine is when a lib says that a socialist leader is filthy rich because le ebil dictator owns literally everything in the country.
