Not something you said but something you touched on... I've always been interested in the unique American inexperience.

I'm starting to think that Americans just don't understanding suffering in the same way that other countries do, and that we simultaneously don't understand their unique suffering. And I mean this on a grand scale.

To put it simply, Americans don't locally understand the horror of war, and haven't since their Civil War. Well, they understand the horror of invading, which isn't quite the same. When they see the displacement of many thousands, it's due to financial crisis. When they see death and starvation, it's because someone is poor or a random psycho went on a rampage. And so, for those who haven't traveled or been exposed to the rest of the world, to be poor is intrinsically a horrifying notion. And make no mistake, this is rational, being poor in America is horrifying. But they might not be able to understand how a Sudanese family would be satisfied living in a hut, or how a pencil factory worker in Germany could be happy with their lot.

Conversely, despite US media access, most outside of the country don't learn about how uniquely horrifying America is. Not horrifying like people marching into your country and torturing and killing those you love, bombing your homes and your mean

Some of it, yes, but I think the level of individualist antisociety in the US is exceptional.
Most countries have occasionally mass violence events, but I don't know any other country numb to school shootings. Canada and Europe overall have social welfare measures and public health standards that put the US to shame.
And I'm not saying this to handwave the legitimate horrors that Europe and Canada face. The way burgers (a huge force in the English-speaking internet) put them on a pedestal as paradices is dangerous.

The commies are infiltrating our cartoons! Those dastardly college arts majors are brainwashing the kids!
ITT we post Western mainstream media which show socialism in an unexpectedly positive light or have unusually sharp critique of capitalists.

>The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius — Krunch Time (2002)
In the opening scene, there are two clips where there is a clearly visible Soviet hammer and sickle on the label of an opened box in the background, with some unreadable text. No-one really knows why, although I can't help but notice the similarity to Jimmy's shirt design.

>The Ren & Stimpy Show — Space Dogged (1995)
The episode features Ren and Stimpy as pioneering Soviet cosmonauts. Alongside a few jabs at the USSR being a developing nation, it also ridicules US red scare paranoia and their delusion of winning the space race.

>Antz (1998)
This family film revolves around a worker ant, in crisis over their insignificance, constantly re-enforced by their ant society. They swap places with their soldier ant friend Weaver, right as the general begins to stage a coup d'état, sending soldiers units loyal to the queen on a suicide battle.
The class relations are made clear at the beginning. The protagonist complains that, despite Weaver calling the ants the ruling species [empire], he is unfulfilled and envious of the soldiers' glory. Soon, a small group of soldier ants become violent in a bar when two worker ants break conformity. Weaver steps in to defend them, leading to a large class brawl. Later, after switching places, the protagonist blunders their way into becoming a war hero and accidentally kidnapping the princess to avoid being discovered as a worker ant. When rumours of them overpowering the military guard reach the workers, Weaver points out their friend was a worker ant, and Weaver himself was a soldier. This shatters the workers' delusions of class fate, leading to the attached clip where there are explicit socialist themes in the class rebellion. The manager is also shown as an unwitting pawn of the coup plot, who later during a strike still hopelessly tries to convince striking workers to return with scare tactics about filling their quotas, and is basically told to fuck off. The coup is also specifically classist and eugenicist, with the leader of the middle soldier class plotting to assassinate the royal ruling class and genocide the 'weak' worker ants in a tunnel flood.

>My Life as a Teenage Robot (2003)
The second episode, Pest Control, is about a revolutionary lab rat, Vladimir, who leads their fellow comrades into rebellion against their abusive captor. The name, their beard, their cartoon Russian accent and the big ol' hammer and sickle on the title card make the allegory clear. While obviously taking the role of a comical villain, and despite a line or two about world domination, their portrayal is generally sympathetic with even a main hero saying they can't help feeling sorry for the rats.

Are you saying this to mean the anticommunists have a lot of guns, or that the communists have a lot of guns. Because both are true.
i wish there was a serious socialist front in the US but unfortunately it's all faggy milquetoast social democrat types and trotskyites because in the US leftism has already been mapped onto the cultural substrate of capitalistic 'nerd' demographics which encompass furries trannies gays redditors and jews making the whole movement impotent.

the US would make a good candidate for a communist society but the deepstate shoved the general public so deep into a cultural totalitarianism that they don't even know what direction is up anymore. when you add in the decades worth of 'muh communist bogeyman' conditioning the social dogma is just too entrenched.

it's hopeless man you'll never get the goyslaves to wake up, and the US is full of burly gun-owning liver king looking people who serve as the guard dogs of capitalism and plunder. there's no convincing them of anything they don't even have working frontal lobes from their carnivore diets.

How exactly do any of those make the movement impotent? Even autistic redditors are valuable if your organization knows how to allocate tasks. A vanguard isn't just a band of goons.

>the US would make a good candidate for a communist society
How so? It has some things going for it, especially its nature and relative isolation from other powers, but I'd like to hear your perspective.

In my experience, the younger generations in the West are past that red scare era and couldn't recognize a communist unless they wore a goofy hammer and sickle flag or said the spooky spectre C word.

Ban, Keep, Or Fuck White Women, Discuss: 

Personally, I think in order to own one of these dogs, I think you should have to prove that you have an advanced level of dog handling ability. They are not like normal dogs, they are very large, more powerful than many humans, and difficult to control. They are good at killing violently because they have specifically been bread this way. 

Further, there should be greater restrictions on inbreeding of dogs, causing them to be mutant killers. 

I don't think we should put loose dogs down, but if you own a dog like this and its roaming the streets no lead, big balls unchopped, it should be taken off you and you should face consequences. 

On a side note, I think dog breeding is a really good case study for why Eugenics are dumb. Always the Eugenisist has some purpose in mind, the higher being they want to create, but invariably, in breeding for this purpose, you create a mutant unfit for the world around them in some way. This is how the european royal families died off.

I don't know man, just looking at them is painful. 
I say pitbulls should be banned not only for the sake of people's safety, but for the sake of the domestic dog species as a whole because they suffer from enormous genetic defects (hereditary heart disease, breathing issues, high risk of cancer) as a result of the disastrous inbreeding that they were put through in dozens of generations just for the sake of making them look grotesque and giving them an aggressive behavior.

Ban, implement mandatory neutering to extinguish the breed, or on the other hand outbreed them with other kinds of dogs. That's the three ways I see out of the pitbull problem.

(9.3KB, 182x276)
Post your footage, marches, insane Zionist propaganda, history, etc here. 

To kick things off, I present Zionism In the Age of Dicators, by Lenni Brenner. 

Brenner was unfortunately a Trotskyist, however he was also friends with and organised with Stokely Carmichael of the Black Panther fame.

 The book focusses on the relationship between the Zionist Movement and the imperialist powers, as well as the new fascist powers, in the pre WW2 and WW2 period. 

Specifically it discusses the Zionists relationship with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Both of these were in fact strong relationships, key facts include the Haavara Agreement, by which 60% of the capital that built Israel in the 1930s came from Nazi Germany. 

Others include the little known piece of history, that Mussolinis Navy trained the first every Israeli Navy. 

The book also discusses how Israel was basically built by these fascist adjacent, sometimes simply fascist, Zionists, as well as the shirking of duty to European Jewry during the WW2, sometimes involving what can be looked at as collaboration with the fascist powers. 

You can also read 51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis, as a companion, which is all the source material used in the other book, in raw form.

North Korea condemns Trump’s Gaza takeover plan as ‘slaughter, robbery’
North Korean state media has accused the US of “slaughter and robbery” over President Donald Trump’s proposed plan to occupy the Gaza Strip and expel its population of more than two million Palestinians.

“The world is now boiling like a porridge pot over the US’ bombshell declaration,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a commentary published on Wednesday, in which Trump was not explicitly named.

The White House’s Gaza proposal was evidence of the US’s “hegemonic, invasive” ambition for world dominance, it said.

KCNA also called the US a “ferocious robber” over the Trump administration’s calls to take over the Panama Canal and Greenland, as well as its decision to rename the “Gulf of Mexico” the “Gulf of America”.

“The US should awaken from its anachronistic daydream and stop at once the act of encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty of other countries and nations,” KCNA said.

“It’s not an issue limited to the Gaza Strip only,” it added.

North Korea has been an outspoken critic of the situation in Gaza, condemning Israel for its “ruthless” massacre of Palestinians and calling the US an “accomplice” to its crimes.

Have any anons on here actually tried learning Japanese?

I'm studying it right now. personally I just use anki with the 2000 core deck, which has many variants on ankiweb but they are mostly bad. The one I use is https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/114060567 which is decent, but I've heard there's a better one available here:
https://djtguide.neocities.org/anki . I've also heard that the "tango n4/n5" series is good because it presents a series of sentences with the addition of one new word per sentence / card, however I have not yet found an anki deck for it.

There are some other learning resources I'm interested in too. https://www.japanese-like-a-breeze.com/guide-for-beginners/ offers an addon to the anki application that makes it specifically easier to learn japanese. 

There is an application that you can use to learn japanese from visual novels called textractor and a guide on how to use it here: https://learnjapanese.moe/vn/ . There's also a bunch of games on itch.io dedicated to help with language learning:
