that's likely kali, the hindu goddess. she's often depicted with multiple arms, a fierce expression, and associated with destruction and power. deep in mythology and worship, especially in tantric traditions. if you're drawing inspo, lean into the dark, intense vibes—she's often shown standing on shiva, wielding weapons, with a garland of skulls. iconic stuff. lady w 6 arms kinda scary indian who is it

American media simplifies American imperialism down to its most basic level. But the basic gestalt is still that it's bad, the understanding of it however is just that we like bombed brown people o algo and not much more analysis. But the American media representation of like the Cold War actions for example are either full Fox (insane) or generally against it but oversimpllified to the point at which we assume nobody ever had any agency ever aside from the US

The US produces like 10% of global crude, or did at least. There is a difference between crude production and having refineries that produce processed oil products. Trump wants to turn up the crude production, which we don't really have the means to refine ourselves at the moment, so we too can act like a banana republic now

russia in ww2 wasn't exactly a doer of good deeds - i.e. mass executions of poles, many a invasion post war, and lots and lots of rape and killing of civilians

I think part of my problem is that the discussion causes people to completely write off all foreign policy objectives entirely. Which, well, that's what tankies do generally want.

Older Bolsheviks were actually interested in economic development to the extent at which they basically won over Russians on the grounds of ignoring foreign policy objectives for the sake of helping material conditions for the average Russian. Similarly, Lenin wrote an open letter to the US for aid during their numerous crises, which he knew would be used by the US to prove it's own superiority, but he did it because well like he didn't want shit to collapse.

The Bolsheviks were great revolutionaries, but not great communists in my opinion, especially after they took power.
The Bolsheviks being very rigid and centralized when they gained power and Lenin in particular was just a dick, motherfucker told many more workerist Bolsheviks that they "deserved to be shot" for not falling in line with a very specific interpretation of the "dictatorship of the proletariat".

When you are dealing with a country like Russia and dealing with the kinds of asshats that Lenin was dealing with, I mean, I do get the decision to centralize heavily.

8chan was very good, I think but it had different communities because people could make their own boards.

That shouldn't be too surprising. In terms of "what has the lowest barrier to entry that people would talk about" politics but left wing is up there next to soyjaks and raids

Just say "okay liberal" to everybody, accuse anybody that is very eager for revolution of being bourgeois adventurists, and basically just shitpost using esoteric terminology. Also say like material conditions alot.

I find it funny to use an obscure term and watch other people on there use it. Like I heard the term "Whedonistic" from an episode of the Film Critters podcast and used it and now I see it used semi-often.

I feel like a lot of LGBT people in the imageboard sphere have a tendency to dismiss a lot of sites because they're transphobic or racist or something, even though that's how imageboards have always been throughout their entire history.
It's just how it be sometimes with the anonymous internet.

The right wing is 100% minmaxxed into winning electorally, God knows their understanding of everything from economics to foreign policy to basic legal procedure is completely retarded. I would say that looking at the guys that are good at nothing aside from electoral politics might be smart when discussing purely electoral politics. The left is way, way, way to prone to purity spiral.

That's because "the left" doesn't exist.
>>397445
anon
>>397444
If the left decides not to exist, then their factions will be defeated in detail by the right, that's how it goes
anon

The unfortunate reality is that losers don't get to reassess how things should function, and right now the left is the losers

does make me curious about how the changing landscape of the web might effect it, like, search engines getting less useful because of AI slop both crawled and implemented, centralized social media becoming unmoderatable, if the algorithm stuff just crashes then there'll be ramifications on how politics play out.

The right wings entire media strategy is pretending that everybody is aligned against them in the mainstream and pretending they exist in this small niche "alt" media space. Meanwhile they actually have massive influence over the mainstream too. The left media strategy is shitting in their diapers because the left is retarded babies when it comes to any sort of media strategy

Actually, I think this is already happening
/leftypol/ seems to be getting more popular amongst general leftists as they slowly get kicked off Twitter and Facebook and whatnot in the name of "free speech"
That's interesting.

wonder if anyone has recorded data to back your point up. I mean normally I'd ask for some but with something as niche as leftypol posting numbers I'm not gonna be picky lol

I think the recent kick back against content farms might bring hope on that front. If it's cringe to just have a youtuber repeat the consensus back to ya over and over then kids won't fall into rabbitholes as often hopefully.

I don't have any data, I've just noticed more "well-known" leftist figures talking about it recently, one did a Q&A on there (which I wasn't a big fan of but that's neither here nor there) so I don't know if it's true but it's just an impression I've gotten

I think the main reason people complain about search engines is that they don't know how to use the advanced features such as "site:" operators and verbaitim search and disabling the broken duplicates filter on Google. Google Web Search still has the largest index compared to Bing and Yandex which are the only other two big regular crawlers left. DDG is just Bing with some weird modifications for certain queries (like switching to Google for verbaitim search queries)

The issue is that the only group that takes this to heart is the center and center left. Everyone else just says "heh, I am much too smart to have my opinions manipulated by an algorithm and regurgitated back to me" *goes back to watching JRE*
>>397462

I used to use "-reddit -best -top 10" or something in search results with some success when I used google but when I started using DDG they sisn't have the - thing yet.

The ultimate media cheatcode is convincing your audience that their views are repressed by the mainstream either by lying (the right) or because their views are generally repressed (the far left).
>>397463>>397464
anon
>>397462
I will admit that I don't think the left was being deplatformed on social media at least until very recently, but I am not sure. In terms of actual politics though, yeah the left has never really had a platform outside of revolutionary governments.
>>397466

It works, until all of the individuals in your media space become pure dramaslop and spend more time murdering each other (figuratively) over slight disagreements.

There is a distinction between something like eh... ACAB and something like "dense discussion of dialectical materialism". The more neutered understandings of ACAB have been subsumed by the mainstream left.
anon
>>397450
All political parties have shit media strategies now because as the linear TV and other forms of traditional media such as television, newspapers, the radio are declining and replaced with algorithmic shortform video being the main form of media for young and middle aged people there will be less ability to advertise your views. In the US at least most people don't bother with engaging with anything political at all because they are too busy working. Political participation is something more and more for a select group of people who have enough free time to be engaged at all.

many a leftist has the same tired problem of trying to go on a diatribe of some esoteric marxist theory to a random person who could not care less
anon
>>397467
The right wing media strategy partially hinges on repeating hundreds of easily disprovable lies that require the barest amount of political participation to understand why they are flawed, then just relying on people that don't care or don't understand much about politics to believe them.

You should take the two axes test and dedicate your entire political belief system to adhering to your quadrant. Libertarian Right? You must support Pinochet at every opportunity and tell people to read Hoppe. Auth Left? You must defend Stalin relentlessly and insist that the Holodomor didn't happen and if it did the kulaks deserved it. It's that simple
