Hello /leftypol/, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.

New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
https://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or https://leftychan.i2p/

Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.

New Roulette Board
>>>/777/
After some discussion, we decided on /k/ as the new roulette board theme, replacing /CHAD/. Archived threads from previous roulette cycles can still be viewed here >>>/roulette_archive/
Any suggestions for future roulette board rotations are welcome.

Trump appoints Elise Stefanik as ambassador to the UN

https://twitter.com/TrackAIPAC/status/1856040449468698726

WASHINGTON – Rep. Elise Stefanik will be appointed as the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Monday.

Stefanik gained international notoriety for her questioning of university presidents during a House hearing on campus antisemitism, and is widely expected to prioritize the international body's criticism of Israel during her tenure as ambassador.



Stefanik was among the most vocal supporters of Trump inside the Republican Party leadership throughout the Biden administration, including at a time when it seemed the party would potentially shift away toward a new generation of leadership.

She was also among the House Republicans who refused to certify the results of the 2024 election, and has propagated antisemitic conspiracy theories related to population control that have been cited by white supremacists committing significant hate crimes.

While Trump will undoubtedly be highly combative toward the UN during his upcoming administration in a manner similar to his first, Nikki Haley, who was UN ambassador in his first term, will not be invited to join the incoming administration.

One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>483169

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 42,000. With over 10,000 missing, it's expected that current estimates are lower than the actual death toll, and excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Hamas political leader and negotiator Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran by an Israeli bombing.

Israel sabotaged the international supply chain to put bombs in 3,000 pagers and other electronic devices in Lebanon, resulting in thousands of injuries and several deaths, in a major blow to both Hezbollah and the Lebanese civilian population.

Israel launched an ongoing series of carpet bombings of the Lebanese capital of Beirut, killing several high-ranking Hezbollah commanders. A strike dubbed "Operation New Order" which used 80 2,000 lb bombs took out several blocks of apartment buildings and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on September 27, and also killed an IRGC commander.

In early October, Israel began launching ground invasions of south Lebanon, which are ongoing and have met resistance. Thousands have been killed, and over a million displaced.

Israel’s military is building along UN-patrolled demilitarised zone in Syria: Associated Press

Israel has begun a construction project along the so-called Alpha Line that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syria, apparently laying asphalt for a road right along the frontier, satellite photos analysed by the AP news agency show.

Israeli troops have entered the demilitarised zone during the work, the United Nations confirmed to the AP, a violation of the cease-fire rules governing the area.

The work, which earlier satellite photos show began in earnest in late September, follows the completion by the Israeli military of new roadways and what appears to be a buffer zone along the Gaza Strip’s frontier with Israel.

The Israel military also has begun demolishing villages in Lebanon, where United Nations peacekeepers have come under fire.

So far, there has been no major violence along the Alpha Line, which delineates the demilitarized zone between Syria and Israeli-occupied territory that UN peacekeepers have patrolled since 1974.

Israeli strike on village in Lebanon’s far north kills and injures 28

Lebanese state-run media has said Israel struck a house in the northern Akkar region, one of the farthest attacks from the border in its war on the country, killing and injuring 28 people.

US military strikes multiple sites in Syria

US Central Command says it hit nine targets in two locations it claimed were associated with Iranian groups in Syria, “in response to several attacks on US personnel in Syria over the last 24 hours”.

“These strikes will degrade the Iranian backed groups’ ability to plan and launch future attacks on US and coalition forces who are in the region to conduct D-ISIS operations,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

New Israel defence chief hints at strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities

Israel’s new defence minister suggested an attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

Israel Katz’s comments came during his first meeting with the General Staff Forum, led by Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

“Iran is more vulnerable than ever to targeting its nuclear facilities. There is [now] a possibility of removing the threat,” Katz said. “The primary goal is achievable – to thwart and eliminate the threat of Israel’s annihilation.”

Katz was named last week to replace Yoav Gallant, who used his exit to criticise the Israeli leadership.

Israeli drone blows up café in Gaza ‘safe zone’ as civilians watch football
Hani Mahmoud
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza

This is more proof that the Israeli claims about “evacuation zones” and “safe areas” are nothing more than false narratives. In the past hour, there was an attack on a small café in al-Mawasi with at least 10 civilians killed.

People go to this coffee shop to connect to the internet and the outside world or to watch a football game on the big screen. A drone fired at least two missiles at the café while people were inside. A witness said it was packed.

Victims who arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis for treatment were completely disfigured. The drone missiles are packed with nails and shrapnel. The body of a ***** ***** has not been identified yet because it was so badly disfigured.

The wounded are still pouring into the hospital with seven people now undergoing surgery.

Aid groups say Israel missed US deadline to boost humanitarian help for Gaza

Israel has failed to meet the US demands to allow greater humanitarian access to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, where conditions are worse than at any point in the 13-month-old war, international aid organisations said.

The Biden administration last month called on Israel to “surge” more food and other emergency aid into Gaza, giving it a 30-day deadline expiring on Tuesday. It warned that failure to comply could trigger US laws requiring it to scale back military support to Israel.

Israel has announced a series of steps towards improving the situation. But US officials recently signalled Israel isn’t doing enough, though they have not said if they will take any action against it.

Israel’s new foreign minister, Gideon Saar, appeared to downplay the deadline, telling reporters on Monday he was confident “the issue would be solved”. The Biden administration may have less leverage after the re-election of Trump, who was a staunch supporter of Israel in his first term.

Tuesday’s report, authored by eight international aid organisations, listed 19 measures of compliance with the US demands. It said Israel had failed to comply with 15 and only partially complied with four.

The report was co-signed by Anera, Care, MedGlobal, Mercy Corps, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Oxfam, Refugees International and Save the *****ren.

I would be cautious about taking the electoral result as an objective barometer for the level of support the greens have. It's somewhat likely that it does not reflect reality.

If you are being realistic the goal of a third party has to be about creating and growing organizations, networks that link people together, that enable them to act as coherent groups rather than disorganized individuals. You know informal political power.

If you have gained sufficient informal power, the official system will be forced to let you have formal political representation.

The electoral system by it self looks rather closed off, it's unlikely that a new party could rise up inside that system. So look at the electoral system as a place to advertise and recruit, more than anything.

The fake left needs to believe in the story that they were the only anti-war voice and "knew the truth", and then jump in front with the same boilerplate stories that don't actually tell anything. It's all an op to keep the left retarded, because the left is politically irrelevant now. All that is necessary is to keep the retards in their pens while they're killed off, and that is what is happening now.

Why was that? Because mass support didn't matter, and the sense that democracy didn't matter was more valuable than any popular support for the present war. Fear and terror created an impression worth more for them than love.

It's entirely about crazy "transbians" who were taught to hate men, so the only way out is to larp as a woman. Once they realize That is why it is worded in such a stupid way. These people are not real trans women, they just see it as a way to get out of their supposed male privilege. Real trans people don't even want others to know they are trans, they want to look like the opposite ***** they were born as close as possible. All transbians and these lunatics who believe we should have dozens if not hundreds of genders have only damaged the image of actual trans people. Trans people don't want a spotlight, they just want to take their hormones and get their surgeries in peace so they can pass as the opposite ***** they were born as and not be treated any differently than cis people. Generally speaking if you've never seriously thought about getting bottom surgery as a trans person, I don't think you are trans.
>>470044
You are right. They are the enemy and its not just about trans issues. It's them having enormous privileges over men. They win the vast majority of custody battles (even though the crime rate for *****ren under single moms vs single dads is astronomically higher), men still have to pay for ***** support even if they have 50% custody of the *****, women can get an abortion without the consent of the father but the father can't have a financial abortion if she wants to keep the *****, married women who divorce always gain from it because they always marry up in the socioeconomic ladder and never down (so 50/50 wealth split just *****s over the man), and to top it off women are going after men with cohabitation laws so even if they aren't married, she can steal his shit if they break up. I mean, I could keep going but that's the jist of it. Cis women are entitled sacks of shit who want the world but do not want to do the work. They offer nothing to the man and expect so much from them. Which is exactly why I want to marry a trans woman who either has bottom surgery or wants it (I'd actually help pay for it if I loved her enough).

Their Sarmat program appears to be borked, they probably can unbork it, rockets exploding on the launchpad during development is not unusual, but even if they don't, Russia still has more advanced missile systems than anybody and at least a 15 year lead over the US's missile systems. So MAD is not being endangered here.

I think MAD will hold until we can make really powerful directed energy weapons. At that point the concept of a missile as a delivery system for some kind of war-head that explodes at the destination, will go obsolete.

Missiles will morph into the acceleration mechanism for purely kinetic impact weapons, which i assume are less vulnerable to directed energy weapons. I mean vaporizing a large chunk of metal in a short time at a distance probably isn't going to be feasible for a very long time.

As a class they have class consciousness and powerful organizational structures in place to maintain their power. As individuals they are often retarded and out of touch even with the scope of their own power. Some of them really do believe they're job creators and not job gatekeepers.
