Marxists forever vindicated, with every turn of the historical wheel.
YOU’RE A FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER THAT GOT PLUCKED UP BECAUSE YOU WERE A FUCKING PEDOPHILE THAT COULD NEVER TALK BACK TO HIS HANDLERS
The pedophiles fear the dragon.
ironic considering how they love 4000 year old dragons

I’m an anarchist but the wrong state died when we lost the USSR
Thankfully, the CPRF seems to be gradually picking up steam, as the system of capitalism in the Russian Federation ultimately is a shadow of socialism, and the working classes realize that. I’d wager we will see a new socialist Russia within a lifetime.
I’m an optimistic communist but I dunno if I’m this optimistic.
I don’t say so without basis, of course, and I’m not certain of it. However, contradictions within the Russian Federation are resulting in the working classes moving more to the left, despite the nationalist leadership. The liberal opposition is pretty much inconsequential, only the CPRF really stands counter-posed to United Russia, and much of United Russia is tied to Putin himself, not the party. It isn’t going to happen tomorrow, or the next decade, but in the next ~70 years? I’d say it’s quite possible.

Yep! As a westerner, the big shift towards the CPRF’s appraisal of Stalin recently as a party line was a large signifier of positive change.
I felt a bit cope-ful when my lil town’s social-oriented local candidate deserved a dedicated smearing campaign by UR while literally everyone there was positive about them. That’s the ceiling for now as long as UR has that much regional power, administrative resource and just cash. I’m not a believer in electoral politics, especially not today, and not with local KPRF cell that (unlike yours?) is as good as absent in my experience, but there is a potential, a demand, that can be acted on if/when total apathy and ER gets weaker. Not holding my breath and still figuring out what may work there with some trial and error.

Eh, you are right, I misread your comment. Wish you well on that path. Give them a proper fight ;)

Don’t forget how extremely chud Russian politics are.
They’re closer to socialism than the west due to history, structure, and relationship to global capital but that’s like saying Jake Paul is closer to winning a championship belt than I am.
Oh of course, they are dominated by chuds and the nationalists still have control of the state, but as a historical process the working class is gradually understanding that they must return to socialism. I don’t mean soviet legacy taken advantage of by nationalists, but actual working class organizing.
I am so FUCKING sick of capitalism and all it entails.
I was in much the same spot you are years ago, an anarchist studying environmental science and seeing the apocalyptic scope of the damage wrought by capitalism and imperialism and also reading Lenin and deciding fuck it, we are out of time “authoritarian” measures are necessary when all life on earth is at stake.
I say anarchist but at this point I am okay with any leftist ideals taking center stage, anything but blood money for the blood god.
Russia is more like a washed-up former heavyweight champion who still has a better chance at getting the title than some unfit rando, which is what the West is.
Who knows? Maybe Russia can pull a Foreman comeback.
Sadly, CPRF is completely decayed. Its only usefulness is in frustrating anticommunist bullshit of the Russian state.
How so? They recently began upholding Stalin, and re-established ties with communist parties around the world, including the PRC and DPRK.
CPRF doesn’t try to establish links with unions and has ceded a lot of ground to capitalists in attempts to “establish an alliance with national bourgeoisie”. It results in morbidly funny things like outright capitalists having important leadership positions in the party and funding monuments to Stalin with their own capital, while opposing any attempts to shift the party to the left.
Hmm, interesting, thank you.

Being a tankie and pro-China stan paying off in 2026
Once again we shoulder the relentless burden of being right about everything.
good time to be a china enjoyer, brother
You don’t seem to understand.
Your Trojans aren’t in my network spying on me.
Your Trojans are in my network spying on you.
Wait is this really what happened?
It’s not really clear what he’s referring to but china has repeatedly reverse engineered NSA spyware to make use to the zero-days they exploit.
My guess would be he’s talking about this or something similar
https://www.wired.com/story/china-nsa-hacking-tool-epme-hijack/
Also, it’s kind of basic espionage that if you know your opponent has an ear somewhere, you feed it false or misleading information to manipulate them.
Sometimes if you want to keep the feed open you feed unimportant real information until you’re ready to play them hard.
That’s awesome, thanks for the link. It reminds me of how China (and definitely not the US) will bomb Taiwan for some reason.
It kind of seems like it is Bannon calling them peasants and jepstein is refuting him like “you’re calling them peasants but they actually out maneuvered us”
either too smart or too dumb to stick to the “enemies are both strong and weak” line
too dumb
It’s 100% this
It does look like that to me too
Did Epstein even have a degree? I don’t want to be ableist but based off his emails he doesn’t seem very, ahem, bright.
Honestly he emails like most business/finance/executive types I’ve ever met. When you have that kind of money and power you don’t need to care about how you send emails to your servants
It’s the formatting of someone who slams out replies on an iPad
This is why executives and CEOs love ai email writing so much. It frees them from having to do it and they never cared about the output anyway.

Like Mao (who Xi studied) said, “NO INVESTIGATION - NO RIGHT TO SPEAK”
He is, also that’s fucking funny
Nope, I thought he’d gotten an honorary degree from somewhere he’d donated to, but apparently not
Harvard did appoint him a ‘Visiting Fellow’ in its psychology department in 2005, removed him in 2020(a year after his death, and despite his first child sex abuse conviction being in 2008)
He did teach physics at a fancy private school, but seems he got the job via nepotism through former United States Attorney General William Barr’s father Donald Barr(who’s also the author of ‘Space Relations’ a book about sex-trafficking space Oligarchs that includes descriptions of removed’s of minors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Relations)
Petro really was on the money that the empire is run by a ‘Clan of paedophiles’
Harvard did appoint him a ‘Visiting Fellow’ in its psychology department in 2005, removed him in 2020(a year after his death, and despite his first child sex abuse conviction being in 2008)
Wow someone should really be answering some questions about that
They said he was a math genius and I thought at one point he was teaching at a prestigious private school (with attorney general William Barr’s dad or some shit), but he was known as kind of an idiot, which makes the claims of being a math genius suspect
King among failsons
I think Epstein would fit right in with the other Billionaires in the Angela Collier video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJI6qIqURA
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You didn’t have enough boomer coworkers. They type way worse than him. And I’m not talking about the state of boomers right now but boomer emails written during the 2010s.
i missed out, you used to be able to make bank typing for people who didn’t want to learn typing
You can be a complete fool and even have a PhD depending on certain other qualities, not the least of which being money (though as others said, in this case he did not)
Tbh it seems like it types like that because he can, nobody seems to call him out on it. It’s also probably faster for him to type that way, it’s like how people will text really messy, he doesn’t need to bother with grammar or spelling or whatever, his time is more important than that.
Also apparently the emails were printed out, then OCR’d, which is why there’s equal signs everywhere and stuff. That wasn’t in the originals.
@Shitbird@hexbear.net they’re throwing shade at you again
oh shit I too have an undergrad degree in chemE. We’re basically brothers
Xi and Norm
An undergraduate degree in chemical engineering is a thing? Do they even get to organic chemistry in lower division stuff?
Can’t speak on China but my BS in chemE did include oChem
Yeah but that’s not an undergraduate degree. Unless I’m wrong, he’s saying that he has something like an Associates Degree in ChemEng
In the US Undergraduate commonly refers to a bachelors in my experience. Usually folks specifically say associates degree if that’s what they are referring to
…really? Huh…
How can you be under graduating if you graduated? I don’t like this.
Yep, lol. Grad school starts at Master’s degrees.
Yeah but that’s a post graduate degree
then you have degrees
then you have degrees for people before graduating called undergraduate degrees
At least that’s what I thought
Yeah I think it’s just one of those things that usaians say that doesn’t make sense. Like calling a main dish an entree, or the whole freshman/sophomore/junior/senior thing for school years. Your logic makes sense, we’re just bad at naming stuff sometimes
Associates degree is a 2 year community college certificate, 4 year bachelor’s is undergrad
The Statesian system doesn’t make much sense, I agree.
You go from not having graduated to having graduated, grad school is school for graduates.
A BS is an undergraduate degree in
hate to admit it
You touch on organic chemistry in high school and get into the basics in most undergraduate degrees where it’s relevant. At least in my experience.
If you’ve passed high school chemistry you’ve been told about alkanes, acid-base chemistry, polarity and stereochemistry. Which covers the very basics of organic chemistry.

Does it describe exactly how, or at least what the effects were, of the Chinese using the cybercrime tools against the US?
Hard to say but I do remember sometime in the last few years it came out that the CPC uprooted pretty much the entire spy network inside China so it could be related to that.
Yea I vaguely remember that too. Another one of the times that US news covered it as “China jails dissidents in authoritarian crackdown”. I should jog my memory on that but I was reminded of it last year when Hamas executed Palestinian compradors armed and financed by Israel to spread chaos in Gaza and western news outlets reported “See?! Hamas kills Palestinians for no reason! You should care about these specific Palestinians and not any of the other half million casualties of this most recent part of the genocide!”.
Very curious to know as well
On Monday, the security firm Check Point revealed that it had discovered evidence that a Chinese group known as APT31, also known as Zirconium or Judgment Panda, had somehow gained access to and used a Windows-hacking tool known as EpMe created by the Equation Group, a security industry name for the highly sophisticated hackers widely understood to be a part of the NSA. According to Check Point, the Chinese group in 2014 built their own hacking tool from EpMe code that dated back to 2013. The Chinese hackers then used that tool, which Check Point has named “Jian” or “double-edged sword,” from 2015 until March 2017, when Microsoft patched the vulnerability it attacked. That would mean APT31 had access to the tool, a “privilege escalation” exploit that would allow a hacker who already had a foothold in a victim network to gain deeper access, long before the late 2016 and early 2017 Shadow Brokers leaks.
Only in early 2017 did Lockheed Martin discover China’s use of the hacking technique. Because Lockheed has largely US customers, Check Point speculates that the hijacked hacking tool may have been used against Americans. “We found conclusive evidence that one of the exploits that the Shadow Brokers leaked had somehow already gotten into the hands of Chinese actors,” says Check Point’s head of cyber research Yaniv Balmas. “And it not only got into their hands, but they repurposed it and used it, likely against US targets.”
A source familiar with Lockheed Martin’s cybersecurity research and reporting confirms to WIRED that the company found the Chinese hacking tool being used in a US private sector network—not its own or part of its supply chain—that was not part of the US defense industrial base, but declined to share more details.
Always take these reports with a sea of salt, the events that led to those tools being leaked are muddy at best. I don’t remember the details well, but WSJ accused Kaspersky of exfiltrating tools off a NSA analyst computer, they investigated and he had infected the machine previously with pirated office software.
Incredible competence on display.

pirated office software
Imagine being able to print your own money (well, your employer having that ability) and still pirating Microsoft products.
