Welcome to the 5th Gen Warfare Tribe.
Given that we are experiencing rapid changes in our culture, it made sense to have a place to track the populist movements / battles as they occur, and not necessarily under the banner of politics.
For instance, Gamergate, Occupy Wallstreet, Maga Movement, and now the Wallstreet bets have all been "battles" with something in common: They cross political lines and share a common, populist root.
Here we can talk about the greater culture war and discuss the big picture for players and actions.
@MentORPHEUS Not having a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz and/or control Kharg Island seems foolish to me, though clearly there is a lot of information I don't have. I don't get the strategy here or endgame.
@adam-l not only that, it was a double tap strike, wherein the second American Tomahawk lingered over the area, revealing swarms of civilians at the site of the first strike. Rather than reassigning to an alternative target on this information, the missile got reconfigured to use remaining fuel to generate a supplemental hyperbaric explosion. American did that shit! Look with a RP lens, how Trump and other administration officials progressed through lying and flipping blame on the victim country, denial, trickle truth, then hand waving it off. Those supporting, denying, and excusing the entire affair, assume the moral culpability for it. If the world holds Nuremberg type trials in the aftermath, responsible individuals might literally hang.
Guys, you did notice that the US deliberately struck the school with the children of the Iranian military personnel, killing dozens. Right?
While America is blowing $1 billion a day attacking Iran, is Israel cowering in a defensive stance? NO! The IDF is on the offensive, giving residents of South Lebanon 48 hours to leave their land and flee North or get killed. Reportedly 50 villages have been thusly evacuated. Israel is now using White Phosphorus munitions on civilian targets in South Lebanon.
World War III is under way, and America is fighting on the wrong side of it!!!
Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.

@SwarmShawarma not sure what you're trying to say
It's one of the greatest tragedy of the hulan species, that it needs stress or enemies to feel alive...
@adam-l uh-huh....
Then what was your entire point here?
You wasted a lot of your time, my time, and the time of anyone following along by grasping at straws.
Hell, more like grasping at nothing, because your objection to my saying what I said was a nonsensical objection.
@Typo-MAGAshiv as much as I am with you on the subject.
Sci fi writers created the fictional worlds that we live today. So yeah a fantasy world (called utopia, or abstract) is just that - sure, unless it become real (although I can't see socialism getting there).
human nature.
I'd say production.
If we could have robots manufacturing robots etc 0possibly we would end up in some kind of socialist hell, where there is no goal, and everything would be free. Hum race wouldn't overpopulate the earth, it would extinct faster than it heads there now.
So basically I'm just arguing about the obvious, i.e. that you are closed to that perspective.
A) why didn't you lead with that, instead of wasting your time and mine with what you said instead, which made no sense?
B) of course I'm closed to communism. it's fucking stupid! it doesn't work, it never has worked, and it never will work. It will always collapse upon itself due to human nature.
Therein lies the value of utopias: they provide Insights
Fantasy worlds are just that: fantasy.
