And Baron Trump, through the baron trump time travel conspiracy, is Fidel’s father

Amazing post. Don’t forget how he clings to stale memes that haven’t been funny (if they ever were) for over a decade. You don’t see Trump posting Pepe like it’s 2016 anymore yet Musk is convinced doge is the height of humor and the letter x is still as epic as it was when he was 10 years old

this is one of the worst things I’ve read but goddamn if it doesn’t line up with shit I’ve experienced just anecdotally. Hell I feel like many of our struggle sessions here are over the “socially right” part of this.

And there are absolutely conservatives out there who would be leftists if they weren’t so into the aesthetics of Wolf of Wall Street and Ancient Rome.

I’m very early gen z so a long time out of school so I can’t say, but I sort of can’t see how they aren’t. Increasing corporate control over the internet where people increasingly spend their time and get their info from, all pushing a right wing agenda, the meteoric rise of a whole ecosystem of right wing grifters with easier ways to reach the youth, 4chan lingo entering not only political discourse but everyday language, including on this site, which is based on a right wing understanding of society. Obviously the youth are diverse and I’m not suggesting they’re all in the hitler youth, but with the rising tide of fascism across the globe I don’t see how the youth is going to be insulated from that and not move right. The political gender gap is ime real, literally every male leftist friend I had has become right wing to some degree over the past few years. Can’t say the same of the women.

I do think these people forget though how right wing the youth was in their day. Things were just less extreme back then. The right wingers today are quite shocking when I remember the “fiscally conservative socially liberal” folks who sucked, but they were atheists who would smoke weed with me. Now we got sedevacantist Catholics eating raw organ meat talking about repealing the nineteenth amendment. Obviously the youth isn’t really full on like that, but you get my drift. The stories I hear from teachers about some kids are horrifying.

Looks like trump is getting tired of winning

Yeah to me the pope is like the royal wedding. A lot of people get super into it and I’m like why should I care? I’m not religious and even if I was I wasn’t raised Catholic nor would that ever be my chosen religion.

I suppose this go round is interesting to find out if all the newly minted tradcaths will be celebrating the death of Woke or digging themselves deeper into sedevacantism. But beyond that who really cares

If this happened in like 2016 or earlier I’d be celebrating. At this point it’s bled into the real world so much does this really mean anything. My Instagram explore page might as well be /pol/

Guess you’re just better than all of us

 

while sending more military funding and weapons to Israel

edit: edited title to be more accurate. Now this bill goes to the Senate. I think it will likely be passed, but just for the sake of accuracy this has not actually been passed yet.

 
 

She asked me “what do you like to do for fun” and I said “ever hear of Hexbear.net?” She just stared at me.

“Oh yeah well it’s like this really niche communist website. Actually ever hear of the podcast Chapo Trap House? So it started out as the subreddit for the podcast, but the podcast hated the subreddit actually, then we got banned for saying slaveowners should be killed. So then we were on discord for a while and then we moved to our own website where we had endless struggle sessions about China and John Kerry. Yeah it’s like this terminally online communist website for people who would be posting on Twitter or Reddit except they hate Twitter and Reddit so they post there. Also it’s communist. Did I mention I’m a communist?”

She called me a liberal and told me to read theory, then made me pay for her dinner for being a “PMC labor aristocrat cosplaying at revolution” before walking out on me. Sucks man. Then the waiter tried to redpill me on the manosphere.

 

So as I understand it most covid rapid tests test for the nucleocapsid protein. But the nucleocapsid protein is generally enveloped by the viral envelope in covid, as I understand it. How then are antibodies able to bind to, and covid rapid tests able to detect, this nucleocapsid protein if it's enveloped by the viral envelope? Would it not be better to test for the spike protein or something else on the viral envelope itself?

I don't understand that much about virology etc. but I was reading about this and now I'm going down a rabbit hole and hoping someone can clear this up for me.

 

What is the vegan stance on working animals?

For example, a farm I used to work at had a number of cats hanging around the barn that would kill mice and rats, similar to ship cats.

Another farm I worked at had a dog that would roam the fields killing various birds and rodents.

And of course the thing that brought this up for me is horses. It's not super common like it used to be, but horses (or other pack animals) are still used for transport in many instances, such as to get supplies to remote locations. Also I believe pack animals are also still pretty common in many rural areas of developing countries.

 

I've been enjoying reading Krupskaya's works on education and how to study (e.g. How Lenin Studied Marx). I'm wondering if there's anything similar in the Marxist canon (or just worth reading for Marxists in general) on the subject of study and self-education. I'll try to compile the Krupskaya I've been reading in an edit.

edit:

The Organization of Self Education

General Rules for Independent Study

How Lenin Studied Marx

Unfortunately that's all I could find online

 

Huge scandal folks, you heard it here first

The family of doctor Muhammad Abu Salmiya said that he is being severely tortured because he refused to appear in a video accusing the resistance of using Al Shifa Hospital as a military site.
