his politics aside it's based that Abdul el-Sayed got the Michigan senate nomination because the reaction to his and Mamdani's campaigns really exposed how insanely normalized islamophobia is in the US. like you can straight up accuse a guy running for a major political office of being a terrorist and not get sued for defamation as long as he's Muslim. shit is whack. -

the red wave continuing to gain momentum is a good sign but also I just want to see the christofascist lunatics in this country seethe over the inevitability of :hs_spin: TOTAL ISLAMIC COMMUNIST VICTORY :hs_spin: -

@winterklaus it's very clearly the site of struggle right now. my analysis of the situation has been though that there will likely need to be a point where the contradictions sharpen enough that the DSA is forced into going underground and adopting a more militant/revolutionary stance (sorta like what happened with the Bolsheviks once they became too powerful and were explicitly suppressed with state violence). I think there is also the slim possibility that the DSA could succeed in a peaceful transition to socialism similarly with what happened in Chile when Allende was elected, if only because the US is such a decrepit dying empire that there is literally nowhere else for history to go other than complete collapse and balkanization or socialism (i.e. "socialism or barbarism" but like actually).
but it's hard to say and maybe will be a mix of the two things because the US is very unevenly developed. it's simultaneously the wealthiest country in the world and yet the American people are broadly immiserated in very basic ways yet also have not known the kind of daily fight for survival struggles that people in Russia or China did when they had their communist revolutions. it is truly an unprecedented situation but one thing I know for sure is that there's absolutely no way the status quo is going to be able to continue for much longer. -

@winterklaus being something of an ultra communizer whatever who is well-read in extremely niche theory, I've started to find it very tiresome how common it is for the supposedly advanced consciousness types to not understand that if you actually want to *do* anything and not just posture to your friends about having the correct opinions, you need to be able to diagnose what the current conditions and opportunities are and then work within that instead of screeching in the cuck chair of history about how the DSA are social fascists or some other terminally online leftoid shit. -

@winterklaus yeah, there's a subtle difference between the tailists who say like "well we gotta say we hate trannies and immigrants because that's what the Working Class(tm) think" vs locating what the tensions are in the current state of things and then pressing on them to break open the virtual lines of flight. it just so happens that right now that's extremely fucking easy to do if you're not a willfully ignorant ideologue. -

@winterklaus the thing you must understand about the US is that things have gotten this bad because the state has been gradually being dismantled of its function to serve the self-preservation of the dictatorship of the bourgeois. I forget if it was Marx or Lenin who talks about this (or maybe both idk I'm on less than four hours of sleep today) but the bourgeois state exists to reign in the most destructive tendencies of capital, and the US is basically an prolonged experiment in being like "what if we just didn't do that and effectively had ancapistan but with a fascist police state and the most expensive military in the world to terrorize the third world with?"
things have gotten so bad that the US has gotten to the point where it very blatantly is no longer even capable of acting in its own self-interests as an entity and is able to function on a fundamental level. which is why I've been comparing it to the state that Russia was in before 1917: a backwards, decrepit empire that represents the last dying gasps of the old regime (which in this case is capitalism itself) that is only ripe for revolution because it has destroyed itself. -

@winterklaus the only reason the opportunity exists here at all is because of how fucking bad things have gotten and how effective the Democrats have been at preventing anything moving a single millimeter to the left, which is of course their entire reason for existing at this point. -

@dalem awhile back I went down a bit of a rabbit hole with psychotronics but it seems like most of it is stuff that is only available in Czech (unsurprising since it's extremely fringe) so I could only learn very superficial stuff about it and whatever the literal CIA has to say on the subject. I found that a lot of the books that were written on it in the original Czech though are fairly easily acquired since it was all done more openly and with more state backing in the Soviet Union. I don't think I could justify learning a whole ass language to do this but it's been one of my pet project obsessions to try to learn more about adapting their theory and tech for DIY psionics. -

@dalem yeah I figured with you being Polish you'd have much more access to info on psychotronics so I would be extremely interested to pick your brain about this. two things that come to mind, 1). since you mentioned that there are groups in Poland that study stuff like this, does interest in psychotronics end up having the same problem that most parascience stuff has in the west where it's all kind of like woo nonsense that isn't seriously engaged in the "-science" part of parascience? and 2). something that is pretty fundamental to a lot of parascience stuff in the west that isn't outright traditional magick and occultism (which is more of my main wheelhouse) is essentially attempting to take seriously and understand a concept of the life force or vital energy that is pretty standard in Eastern religions (in China it's called Qi, in India it's Prana) as something that can be directly manipulated using psychic practices that can be aided with machines. does psychotronics have a similar approach/foundations?
I would be really interested to try to document and consolidate more info on this stuff because psychotronics is the sorta thing where if we assume that there is a real scientific basis to it that is worth studying, the best way to make progress with that (unless one wants these things to remain intentionally clandestine which is also a possibly reasonable stance to take) would be to essentially crowdsource data and experimentation on it since obviously this is not the sort of thing any institutions these days would ever touch or talk about (except maybe for whatever Cold War programs might still exist). -

@dalem the situation is very similar here in the west. there are various 20th century fringes like "psionics"/"radionics", Wilhelm Reich's theories, synchronicity (Jung) or seriality (Kammerer), remote viewing, astral projection, various things that are distinct from the traditional magick and occultism stuff because they aren't connected to any particular religious view and attempt to get at some fundamental laws behind the fact that basically every civilization in human history has had magickal practices and reported experiences with "supernatural" entities.
but the problem is exactly the same as you said, there's a lot of new age garbage that is at best superficially engaged with this stuff to scam people who are varying degrees of mentally ill I guess. there's a part of me that wonders whether things being similar in eastern Europe (or Poland at least) is a direct consequence of the collapse of the USSR and forcibly shoving capitalist/western values down everyone's throats since that kind of inherently is going to lead to a situation like this where something that lacks institutional support or legitimacy ends up being exploited by like, a very specific form of predatory lumpen individual I guess.
anyway yeah I dislike calling this hypothetical electromagnetic phenomenon the "life force" because that itself is a term that has been heavily appropriated by new age con artists and is itself complicated because like I said there's a long tradition in the east of attempting to describe what this "life force" is and how it works. I happen to be of the sort of weird perspective that I believe in a lot of things that conflict with a traditionally materialist view but I also have been influenced a lot by the ufologist Jacques Vallée because he essentially laid out the framework for how to approach parascience in a modern and scientifically (as best we can at least at this stage) rigorous way to understand how these things work. because if they're real then there must be a logic to them and the task is to pin down what that is.
I'll check out that CIA dossier, I've been aware of it for awhile but never read it in detail. also, speaking of Robert Pavlita, I just found this article written by someone who claimed to have met Pavlita in person and seen the psychotronic generator demonstrated: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_psychotronicweapons05.htm
I also think it's interesting that it mentions that Pavlita was specifically influences by alchemy because there's an extremely rich (overwhelming in fact) history of alchemical texts that one could investigate to try to reverse engineer whatever he was doing. the article also mentions Pavlita's theory that the human body has at least 68 energy centers, which is interesting the Chinese theory of the energy body (which I know a decent amount about from being into Daoism) that is used in TCM and acupuncture has a similar thing about how the body has various meridians. it's also a very extensive and old system that has received some amount of validation in western medical science but a lot of it is also considered to be new age pseudoscience (which IMO is at least partly because western science is arbitrarily dogmatic and controlled by the interests of the military-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries).
>during the transition from socialism to capitalism in central/eastern Europe of late 80s and 90s, a lot of things were destroyed or """Lost"""
I can't remember off the top of my head what this was and would have to dig it up again but when I last looked into this I remember there being at least some texts from the Czech psychotronics researchers that were out there, out of print and only available in Czech but seemingly not impossible to acquire. -

algorithmic social media is actually a good thing, the problem is that the algorithms are used for surveillance and ragebait rather than to make social software more fun to use
