They mostly do that, Bilibili ha a content feature where you can skip to different sections of the video, in that case the individual lectures

Just made myself an account, these guys are crazy, uploading 30-hour videos of a whole conference :O

As someone who is into this area of research, I am a lot on YouTube and its clones, but just now I wound up searching for his lectures on DDG and I notice that, at least in this field, the lectures on it on Bilibili already begin outnumbering those on YT. I might need to change platforms soon

1. No one here claims to be a revolutionary. We are an instance for memes and theory, we don’t even do organising like a union or a communist party, and we are certainly not a revolutionary cell.

2. The “stop participating” argument is the most worn card in the deck of the anti-communist debater. Participation in the system is not like seal fur or tropical woods, you cannot live your life in a way that avoids it. Capitalism’s total commodification of basic human rights means you cannot even obtain food and shelter or receive life-saving care without taking part in it. Telling someone to “stop participating in the system” amounts to promoting suicide.

Communist parties do not “await” revolution. When you only wait for revolution, you will keep doing that forever. Communist parties work towards forcing a revolution (to the best of their abilities), by bringing about the conditions under which revolutions are successful, and this means organising, building a public presence, teaching theory, and supporting the actions of the revolutionary element of society, such as unionised labour, student groups, and the proletariat in industry and service economy.

They also protest against the police state and the war machine, engage in antifascist activism, and try mitigating the most immediate environmental and psychological effects of capitalism while they are unfolding.

Liberals have excess valence Hitler particles, which makes them unstable and highly reactive

Freud was one weird motherfucker

6.8 billion dollars is how much it costs to keep one turret firing for two hours, or alternatively, how much it costs to pay for the EU’s entire electricity consumption for eighty-four hours

People genuinely without political awareness do not believe they have existential enemies. They think all it takes to change a Nazi’s mind is a sound and well-structured argument, for the sake of which they are willing to let them talk back and entertain their talking points, as if anyone ever becomes a Nazi on the basis of rational consideration. This wishful thinking may be exacerbated by a common liberal fallacy that balanced equals unbiased and that unbiased equals true or trustworthy.

Right-wingers on the other hand do everything they can to try to rehabilitate and excuse even the worst figures amongst their ranks, because it broadens the acceptance their ideology can find. If someone points out Rommel’s colonial aspirations and murderous exploits to expand the reach of Hitler’s empire into Africa, they fall back on saying they’re not an expert and did not know about his crimes, even immediately after telling their “nuanced” stories about him.

Functioning under capitalism is the highest form of lying. You must put nice words in white print on your resume or else a bot will reject it. You must brazenly invent years of experience in interviews for an entry-level job or else they won’t hire you. You must wear a grinning mask when dealing with a customer under all circumstances or else the deal might fail. You must act like your dearest and most interesting things in the world are spreadsheets and sales pitches, or else you’ll be reprimanded and then fired. The whole thing is a hologram of paper-mache painted to look like marble, one facade after another, there is no place for humans, only for their images. Nothing in this economic system is about truth, or justice, or even basic respect. It’s all about appearances.

Also, equating the Democratic Party to communists has got to be the most insidious line of anticommunist propaganda yet

At this point, why not just be in an open relationship? Do they really derive so much thrill from hiding their sex life at the risk of losing their most cherished emotional bond in the world and ruining their kids’ entire lives?

It is also very impressive that their increase in green energy generation this month now covers the average monthly increase in total generation for the first time, which means we have serious hope for China’s emissions to peak in the coming months

“What do you mean I can’t bring a cow into your house? It is obvious to me as a cow expert that your door is big enough. Now name ten breeds of cattle, and then we can talk”

And it will go up again, and down again. Stock markets are an awful predictor of a country’s actual economic state, they are more of a mystic ritual that is said to foretell the value of economies. In reality, you have to do a detailed, real-time calculation of all the capital and labour assets of a country to gauge its economic state and figure out what it could do with them; which, granted, is considered heresy under liberal rule

What would qualify as an unusual level of interest towards strong men? starts purging doujin collection

Ah yes, the Lotka-Volterra model of history

I often like to brag that I have a chauffeur who drives me around in a 16-wheel Mercedes with over 400 HPs after taking the bus

There is some popular knowledge about Soviet-era science-fiction, but although there are several books you can find in Western libraries like Obruchev’s Plutonia, Tolstoy’s Aelita, or the Strugatsky Brothers’ short stories, the discussion about Soviet science-fiction books specifically always remains in the shadows of movies like Stalker or Solaris. I think this is only partially due to a Western bias and has more to do with the fact that Soviet leadership has always emphasised the importance of cinema as a medium all the way back since Lenin.

Lucky boy, his teacher takes him on all these field trips
