tHE r H i z z o n E

This is an internet forum. You need an account to use it! Currently, new accounts may only be established by giving a valid email address and a coveted username to a user who can approve such new accounts.

The overall theme of this forum is that capitalism sucks and so does USA and criminal George W Bush, Barack Obama is mass murderer, police are nazi, and what would be good is if all the nice people could share everything. These topics are discussed according to the highest evidentiary standards and a careful and consistent application of Marxist science. Do not be fooled by boneheads spamming viral content, they are on the express bus to banishment. On the other hand, "humor is encouraged"

We welcome academics, celebrities, and CIA people to bury their heads up their head holes while we continue to publish this ultra-raw, panic-inducing content, that makes the miracle of salvation by His blood appear as the ersatz coin trick of a fraudulent grand-uncle. Nothing is off limits except for the obviously off limits kinds of illegal speech that we definitely have not ever condoned.

Posts and threads that are great go on the front page. Then they inspire you to finish that other front page content you have been dreaming of wiping up, and then we publish that and make the millionies. We also like threads that contain information about something. Another good kind of thread to make is, "Here's my idea for making a mark on society, in a positive lawfully abiding way of course," and the collective might of tHE r H i z z o n E may come fruitfully to bear on the face of your enemy.

SPECIAL MESSAGE.:
YOU ARE DISCOURAGED TO BUMP OLD THREADS!

Be Warned: Racist, sexist, ableist, titlist, whatever slurs, make you look uncool. And i will ban all bigots, with the ban button.


FAQ
Q: How does moderation work?
A: Moderators appoint posters to be "thread monitors." The monitors have the power to issue probations for posts made in their threads. Truly bad users get confined to The Snezhnevsky-Guattari Institute for Forensic Anti-Psychiatry, another section of the forum, where they can stew and probably die.
Q: I'm not a communist, should I post? Why would i?
A: If you are generally left leaning and wish life was better for the tens of thousands of Iraqi children born mutated by depleted uranium, or if you have read 1 book, you'll probably do fine. Eventually, posting here will make you a good Communist, or at least, suck the joy out of you. Try posting and if you dont immediately get told to shut up, that is due to an understaffing issue that even management is forced to descrbe as highly exploitable
Q: This forum is bad
A: There is currently no known workaround for this inherent problem with the internet
Q: What are some approved images for use around the forums

The hegemonic goal is to clear the people out of nature and then suck nature dry so it can't be used as a basis for anti imperial activity. A desert is a final victory for capital. So yeah in Amerika at least, a return to the countryside is imminently necessary not just to initiate people's war but to ensure there can ever be a material basis for

Referring to the previous question, you're going to have to establish a mountain enclave with mass proletarian support, which would take upward of six months even for an entrepreneurial go getter like Carl Icahn or Gina Rineheart. Haha, just kidding. I need specifics about your situation to offer helpful advice, amigo. Be brief, but comprehensive, sparing no minute detail within a 50-75 word limit.

Yes:
-post more threads
-outreach to other forums
-mention the rhizzone in real life
-the subscribe button doesn't seem to do anything

I'm thinking about doing a thread on the political economy of Western Buddhism/Mindfulness/Yoga and political queitism it encourages. I spent a few years caught up in it but now I have a very critical stance.

Would anyone read that? Does anyone have any relevant sources or anecdotes?

Where to start? It's a vague intrepid path... I was in a group that was unpacking this for a while.

The yogi tea bag mantras are rife with cognitive dissonance. My group put them in cocaine baggies and left them in places.

It's a really hard line. Obviously, a lot there, but I feel like you're gonna end up in Heidegger land if you aren't surgical...

I'm down to riff through my research...

if aerdil gets another account I want my OpenID sockpuppets back. I need them to prove the virtue of the strategy, move the forums past their dark mustang/Glorpstein multi-account history & to honor those who upvote my posts by returning each posting friend's goodwill seventy-seven times.

what’s the forum for serious posting. i wrote a pretty long blog post on amerikan political violence in response to an argument with a frustrating lib in a personal slack and nobody engaged with it and i’d love actual discussion.
