Looking for book length Marxist critiques of the notion of individual agency as the whole notion of individual agency seems to me to be just rhetoric to legitimise bourgeois modes of punishing and disciplining people.

I am posting this here because the question seems to be above the level of r/communism101.

Marx:

>I paint the capitalist and the landlord in no sense couleur de rose [i.e., seen through rose-tinted glasses]. But here individuals are dealt with only in so far as they are the personifications of economic categories, embodiments of particular class-relations and class-interests. My standpoint, from which the evolution of the economic formation of society is viewed as a process of natural history, can less than any other make the individual responsible for relations whose creature he socially remains, however much he may subjectively raise himself above them.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/p1.htm

Isn't Marx writing here that there is no effective individual agency and the only agency we can think about is collective rooted in class, i.e. it is the class of individuals which has agency but not the individual?

Further Althusser:

>I say: the category of the subject is constitutive of all ideology, but at the same time and immediately I add that the category of the subject is only constitutive of all ideology insofar as all ideology has the function (which defines it) of β€˜constituting β€˜ concrete individuals as subjects. In the interaction of this double constitution exists the functioning of all ideology, ideology being nothing but its functioning in the material forms of existence of that functioning.
>
>...... It follows that, for you and for me, the category of the subject is a primary β€˜obviousness’ (obviousnesses are always primary): it is clear that you and I are subjects (free, ethical, etc....). Like all obviousnesses, including those that make a word β€˜name a thing’ or β€˜have a meaning’ (therefore including the obviousness of the β€˜transparency’ of language), the β€˜obviousness’ that you and I are subjects – and that that does not cause any problems – is an ideological effect, the elementary ideological effect.[16]
>
>....I shall then suggest that ideology β€˜acts’ or β€˜functions’ in such a way that it β€˜recruits’ subjects among the individuals (it recruits them all), or β€˜transforms’ the individuals into subjects (it transforms them all) by that very precise operation which I have called interpellation or hailing, and which can be imagined along the lines of t

With mainstream talk of a future US civil war, there are some things you should keep in mind

TL;DR: The US will not be in conventional war with itself. If anything, it is going to Balkanize. It will be ugly and not a good time.

Few people want to read books on reddit so I am going to keep this one short(er). If you want the long version, I wrote^1 them^2 here.^3 If you don't like reading, Robert Evans' podcast "It Could Happen Here" is a good introduction to these concepts. All sources are linked at the bottom.

Anyway, the term "civil war" has been in mainstream new cycle as of late. Of course many people balk at this idea because they cannot imagine this happening. It must be impossible in today's modern world with all its complexities. The problem is that those people still view "war" in the way it happened in the 1940s: two big sides, attacks and counter-attacks over lines on a map, money and fuel and infantry on the ground trying to outlast each other, etc. It doesn't work like that. War hasn't worked like that for at least the past 50 years.

The signs of a coming civil collapse can be watered down to four indicators:

1. Freedom and rights are disappearing.

The two wings of our neoliberal political system have refused to return liberties to common people and have only intensified their assault on the unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Healthcare, the right to one's own body, a living wage allowing one to own a house.

2. Polarization, hate, and violence are on the rise.

The 2024 presidential campaign started on January 20, 2021 at 12:00. White supremacy is now mainstream.^4

3. Access to information is limited.

An information silo is a business management term for information that is self-contained and walled off from everything else. I'm not getting into business jargon here, so think of it like a grain silo. Yes, that giant tube with a dome on top next to a barn. It's full of grain and on the top you can even stand on it (don't do that). It looks good, sturdy, stable, just like a new theory you are exposed to. But if you start poking around, there are a lot of holes, cavities, voids. If one of those collapses, then you go do

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

A Child's Tale

Hello, long time lurker, first time being brave enough to post. This is a story that's been floating in my head for years, I hope you like it, and I hope I wrote it well enough. If I messed up with the formatting, please let me know.

---

β€œBeacon?”

β€œYes?”

β€œI don’t feel good.”

β€œI know, I know you don’t”

---

There was a knock at the Admiral’s door, a young NCO stood in the doorway.

"Sir, the last evacuation ship from Tertius has just jumped in."

"Well good, but why the personal visit?" The older Admiral spun in her chair to stare at the Warrant Officer.

"The captain of the transport is saying he has information regarding a scout or something, sir?"

All traces of emotion drained from the Admiral.Β  "Bring them here, now."

"Aye Sir."

---

The Admiral placed the holochip the ship’s captain had given her into the computer on her desk.

"Chief, simply by knowing about this chip, you are privy to some of the most classified information Alliance Command has."

"Uh, my apologies Sir. I will leave, also I'm not a Chief."

"You are now. As my personal assistant you'll need to have the clearance.”

β€œSir?”

β€œYou're going to help me make sense of what we're about to see. We’ll talk about OCS later."

The admiral indicated a seat for the now surprised Chief Warrant Officer.

"Promotion and transfer are filed. Now, hopefully, we can figure out why Beacon-36 malfunctioned and also figure out who this Scout is." the Admiral looked the Chief directly in the eye and continued.Β  "The first secret to know: our evacuation plans had a fatal flaw.Β  There was no safe way to bring the villagers outside the central city to the transports. During the initial invasion, the Praxitans had too many of their soldiers on the ground.Β  They were destroying rescue ships, medical ships, and executing every human they found. Scout resolved that problem for us, in a way.Β  The Praxitans became more focused on finding Scout than they were on destroying transports.Β  Where Scout got Beacon-36, how Scout knew all our protocols; that's been a mystery this whole time. Beacon-36 would only transmit refugee locations, and calls for evacuation. The suit would not let us issue remote commands. We wanted to find it ourselves, but we couldn’t pinpoint it long enough to track. We also knew we couldn't afford to not accept their help.Β  Those people needed out, and Scout with that Beacon suit, got them out."

β€œUh, Sir? Why is a suit malfunction that important?”

I was addicted too. Hopefully my perspective can be of help to someone out there.

There are a few reasons people get into this sort of thing. The feeling of having some control over ones future is definitely one reason. In my experience, it can be a little more complicated. I'll try to condense it a bit for you if you care to read about my own participation in conspiracy theories and my opinion of how it gripped me, my girlfriend, my brother, and eventually my dad.

I personally got into conspiracy theories about 10 years ago. At the time, the theories weren't much different. They revolved around lizard people, depopulation plots, chemicals in the water and air that were meant to control the masses, and plenty of others. I didn't buy into all the theories, probably because the "proof" was too nebulous and/or easily debunked. But I did sort of buy into others. I remember checking my mailbox at one point to see what color of sticker was put on it by "they". Theories suggested that different colors meant different things from "kill" to "enslave", or "recruit" and "assimilate". Crazy stuff, but at the time, this seemed plausible because of the content I was consuming.

I remember it feeling good to consume "information" related to conspiracy theories. This makes sense because our brains release dopamine when we solve a problem and/or recognize a pattern in the world around us. It's a helpful function related to survival, but it is also something we can become addicted to. The more intense the puzzle is that we solve, the better/bigger the hit of dopamine is. This is why the conspiracy theories seem to get crazier and crazier to those who are on the outside looking in.

One (I think HUGE) difference between the state of conspiracy theory believers and contributors now vs. ten years ago, is that it's so mainstream now that most people can readily find an echo chamber for the content they've absorbed and further solidify their perceptions. Seemingly unlimited media platforms make it exceptionally easy, but it's also very likely that certain friends, family members, and coworkers will hop right on the proverbial train with you if you bring up certain talking points related to conspiracy theories these days. Ten years ago, I felt pretty uncomfortable talking to anyone about the things I was watching, reading, and listening to. That was one thing that helped me keep reflection a little more ground based.

I eventually quit my addiction because I was able to reflect and see it for exactly what it was. It was an addiction to manifactured puzzl

r/fourthwavewomen is a virulent anti-trans sub

I thought for a bit that I wasn't going to make this post. I wanted to give no excuses for any anti-feminist sub to go after feminists, so I was going to drop it. But in the 24 hours since being banned from fourthwavewomen (after arguing about a now Reddit Site Wide banned member about their transphobia), I have spoken to 2 other people who were banned for the same reason within the last 24 hours, and WitchesvPatriarchy nearly banned me for even interacting there, because the hatred is so bad. I do not want other feminists seeking this sub out and dealing with this same issue.

While it is not my goal to tear down some other ideologies women in that sub have, it is their right to hold differing beliefs, I can not and will not tolerate transphobia on any level. No strain of feminism should exist that demonizes queer existence.

Some background on Mary Daly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Daly#On_transgender_persons

> In Gyn/Ecology, Daly asserted her view of transgender persons, writing, "Today the Frankenstein phenomenon is omnipresent . . . in . . . phallocratic technology. . . . Transsexualism is an example of male surgical siring which invades the female world with substitutes." "Transsexualism, which Janice Raymond has shown to be essentially a male problem, is an attempt to change males into females, whereas in fact no male can assume female chromosomes and life history/experience." "The surgeons and hormone therapists of the transsexual kingdom . . . can be said to produce feminine persons. They cannot produce women."

Web Novel Personal Recommendation/Review [MegaThread] - V2

Intro: When I decided to share some of my reviews on this sub, I knew the work would take several days, and, at the time, I also didn't have a precise idea about what the outcome should have been. Among the various possibilities, I opted to create a first, rough, draft which I would update multiple times until I felt satisfied. So, here we go! If you saw my previous post know that this one is updated and as complete as Reddit allows it to be.

FAQ:

  • Why only web novels? Because of their nature, they are more accessible compare to books. You can more easily skim through them, discard what you don't like, and move on. At the same time, it's also harder to find proper reviews for web novels, in particular, I find scores on Royal Road to be useless in general. This doesn't mean that I don't read books, on the opposite, on my fantasy progression tier list there would almost be present only books;
  • What novels ended up on this list? My initial plan was to have both good and bad ones, but Reddit doesn't support such long posts. I'm, therefore, forced to have only what I most care about sharing. If you don't see something that should be on the list, but it's not, leave a comment and I'll clarify if I either left it out or didn't read it. At the end of the post there should also be a brief list of not reviewed suggestions;
  • What do I like? I'm an old reader. I'm past the time where I could read and enjoy anything available to me. You could find my tastes to be very needy in some ways and not so much in many others, I'm aware of it.
    I don't dislike many tags, the most notable are: novels with multiple POVs; a pure slice of life; when comedy is central; superheroes; but there are exceptions, ofc.
    On the other hand, immersion and suspension of disbelief go toe to toe for me, and I need to have both to enjoy a story. At the end of the day, a story has to remain true to its context. A System with numbers that don't make sense; a traumatic event that has no consequences; reincarnated adults that behave like teenagers; isekai where the protagonists never, ever, miss their previous happy, safe, life; characters that behave outside of their role; these are just some example of what ruins my immersion and usually leads to abandoning a novel, or at least to lower its score;
  • How do you structure the reviews? I'm not a professional reviewer, I find it hard to stick to a precise and well-organized pattern. I'll try to point ou

List of the Hardest and Most Ridiculous Requirements or Secrets in JRPGs. [Best of the series]

This is a "best of" thread I am making mainly for all the many new fans that have joined, as a thank you for being part of this great community, and for another reason that I will probably be announcing soon.

I apologize for those who always keep up with my threads, as there is nothing new here. As mentioned it's a selection of the most interesting ones from my old threads. But if you never read any of them, then I hope you have fun reading them, although considering the size of this one, I understand if you can't spend that much time.


Important Notes


  • This list will start with the simple ones, and will escalate as you go down the list.

  • I made sure to take out all spoilers out and spoil tag the rest, but still please be careful when reading about a game you haven't played, and you don't want anything in it spoiled.

  • Nothing here is mind blowing or things no one knows, in fact if you played these games, you probably already know about most of them. But if you didn't, then hey, you just learned a new fun fact.

  • I am aware that some of these were done by many and even in record times. this isn't the point of this thread, they are just funny and weird tidbits and facts.


#~ Agarest: Generation of War - Monster Capture ~:


I think choosing an Idea Factory game would be cheating, since they can really fill this entire list alone, So for the sake of variety, I will only mention one part, of one game, and that is from the Agarest: Generation of War.

Now this game is filled with ridiculous stuff, but let’s focus on one part, and that is Capturing and getting a Monster as a party member. Because in this game, even though you already get a very large cast to join your party, that probably more than half will go unused. They also added the feature of the player being able to catch any monster in battle and add them as a playable party member. β€œGreat” you might say, β€œwhat is so bad about that ?”, well in order to catch a monster you first need to teach the Capture Skill to someone, so they can cast it on a monster. So how do you get this skill ? easy, all you have to do is:

  • First you need to get the skill, in order for a character to be able to equip it.
  • In order to get it, you need to first buy the Essential Arts IV book, that will unlock multiple skills to your master list, including the Capture skill. Once that is done, you also to research the skill, to turn in

Analysis on the Misogyny Video

EDIT: I hope Dr. K does see this because, so far at least 2 hours in, there are a few feminists that are unintentionally making the exact points about divisiveness that I was trying to point out by being prime examples of it. Now, that's not necessarily bad. But some of the men have blatantly been told they were wrong when they tried to express their opinions, and I think it's a good example of the sexism on both sides, and an inherent lack of empathy. It kind of makes my point. Women don't generally empathize with men, and men are being taught to empathize with women. The solution is for everyone to empathize with everyone. But look at this whole thread. Framing this stuff as men and women's issuse literally has invited division, just as I predicted. Some of the convos have been insightful though, so thank you to those ladies and gentlemen.

TL;DR: Men v Women framing is conducive to division. Much of what Dr. K said about women's difficulties is accurate, but he failed to layout the positive trade-offs of those things. For example: His analogy for men to understand women's plight was to imagine always having your mom nag you everywhere you go. A better example would be that your mom nags you everywhere you go AND some women you are interested in and attracted to also approach you and flirt with you and try to start relationships with you randomly with no effort on your part. There is a trade-off that is directly tied to the problem. He only pointed out the curse and not the boon.

I’m going to use Dr. K’s tactic of saying - If you think your doing a good job at something and someone says there is a problem you should start by listening because it is likely showing a blind spot in your thinking. If you think you understand these issues well, you should start by listening therefore read the whole thing and take the criticism. Because the more logic you have to discount my opinion, the more CATASTROPHICALLY YOU ARE WRONG!

While I think there is some truth to that statement, it is also a rhetorical tactic used to gaslight people. I am not saying Dr. K is doing that. I do not think he is. I just wanted to point that out that statements like these are often employed in such a way. That being said, I’m going to use it as a rhetorical tool to make my point, and usher people towards reading until the end.

Mutilation: For women it is worse when it happens because of how ti happens, and women in those places have it worse. But this doesn’t accou

Just wanted to clarify a few things that devs don't seem to understand

I believe we've gotten a lot of feedback over the last few weeks. But for some reason, the devs don't seem to understand a few things.

  1. Most people giving feedback WANT halo to grow : This might not seem apparent, but a lot of feedback is coming from people who've been playing at least the past few games. And almost all people giving feedback want their favorite game to grow bigger, so that more people can hop in on the fun. When people say the state of the store and progression is good, they probably have reasons. I for one can assure you that none of the 7 people I've gotten into the game are the least interested to play, because there's literally no sense of progression for them.
  2. People complaining about the store and progression are the ones who WANT to spend: If people are complaining about prices, that means THEY WANT TO SPEND - of course, at a reasonable rate. These are people who want the game to SUCCEED and a lot of these people are passionate about the game and would spend generously. At the end of they day, if people don't spend on Halo, they will always spend elsewhere, either way the economics is inclusive of it all and I'm sure the internal metrics offer insight into this.
  3. Your intent matters: Whatever you've done with stuff like the Yoroi armour Helmet, the Default Mark VII helmet, Battle pass modification, colours and reach content speaks of your intent. People have a general understanding of goodwill, and honestly speaking I myself don't mind spending a few hundred $ on halo. Things like this don't go unnoticed.
  4. A lot of your fanbase are previous Halo players people in their Twenties and Thirties: Games like Fortnite and Valorant have been successful at capturing younger gamers and a wider audience in general. You aren't going to find a lot of 10 y/o kids on halo just yet. So without appealing to your existing audience, this game will die out if you don't make ammends. Not to say that kids don't/won't play Halo, but with the thematic and current engagement numbers, it's mostly people who already know the game. This is just my assumption since there's no way for me to determine real numbers
  5. People will do what they want: I completely understand that inclusion of a playlist makes objective games unpopular. But people will play what they want to play. I think it's a better idea to let people play what they want to play rather than force them to play something they don't want to. People are already find

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

YOUR SCREEN IS BEING OBSERVED - How Apple invades employees privacy and gambles with their mental health.

YOUR SCREEN IS BEING OBSERVED

How Apple invades employees privacy and gambles with their mental health.

TLDR: Apple has created a hostile environment for their employees mental health and well being through a slew of policies designed to invade your privacy and allow customers free reign to be abusive. If and when you seek to get yourself help, they will find anyway to get rid of the β€œproblem”.

EVIDENCE ZIP: anonfiles.com/T6V11755x4/Evidence_zip

My Screen Being Observed by Apple, both while I was working there and again months AFTER I was separated from Apple.

Preface: I don’t make posts like this but after seeing one of Apple’s employees has taken their own life as a result of their increasingly hostile policies, I feel I should share my experience. I am coming forward with my analysis and evidence of how Apple’s leadership mistreats employee mental health issues and promotes psychological abuse from Apple’s customer base.

The irony of my separation from Apple is that I was let go during their β€œMental Health Awareness Month” because my Senior Area Manager (SAM from here out) didn’t believe that I was having anxiety driven panic attacks and triggering PTSD episodes- for which I had documented medical accommodation THROUGH Apple Employee Relations. I have had these accommodations in place for a number of years without issue when, this last July, he accused me of β€œtime theft” without a shred of evidence (I have asked for evidence and none could be provided to me). There are no documented policy violations on my part that lead to this termination. This accusation came shortly after I voiced my opinion to leadership on a number of Apple policies and procedures that seemed abusive and not at all conducive to a positive work environment which I will lay out below. For this reason I believe Employee Relations sided with my SAM and agreed to let β€œthe problem” go.

I started at Apple seven years ago. Three years into the mandatory overtime and being promoted to a Mac+ T2 Senior Advisor (the mac+ means we are trained in almost every product, we received no additional compensation and substantially larger workload) my partner, friends and family had noticed a significant change in my behavior.

Here are the major outliers that are responsible for the deterioration o

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Looking for book length -especially Marxist- critiques of the notion of individual agency as the whole notion of individual agency seems to me to be just rhetoric to legitimise bourgeois modes of punishing and disciplining people.

Marx:

>I paint the capitalist and the landlord in no sense couleur de rose [i.e., seen through rose-tinted glasses]. But here individuals are dealt with only in so far as they are the personifications of economic categories, embodiments of particular class-relations and class-interests. My standpoint, from which the evolution of the economic formation of society is viewed as a process of natural history, can less than any other make the individual responsible for relations whose creature he socially remains, however much he may subjectively raise himself above them.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/p1.htm

Isn't Marx writing here that there is no effective individual agency and the only agency we can think about is collective rooted in class, i.e. it is the class of individuals which has agency but not the individual?

Further Althusser:

>I say: the category of the subject is constitutive of all ideology, but at the same time and immediately I add that the category of the subject is only constitutive of all ideology insofar as all ideology has the function (which defines it) of β€˜constituting β€˜ concrete individuals as subjects. In the interaction of this double constitution exists the functioning of all ideology, ideology being nothing but its functioning in the material forms of existence of that functioning.
>
>...... It follows that, for you and for me, the category of the subject is a primary β€˜obviousness’ (obviousnesses are always primary): it is clear that you and I are subjects (free, ethical, etc....). Like all obviousnesses, including those that make a word β€˜name a thing’ or β€˜have a meaning’ (therefore including the obviousness of the β€˜transparency’ of language), the β€˜obviousness’ that you and I are subjects – and that that does not cause any problems – is an ideological effect, the elementary ideological effect.[16]
>
>....I shall then suggest that ideology β€˜acts’ or β€˜functions’ in such a way that it β€˜recruits’ subjects among the individuals (it recruits them all), or β€˜transforms’ the individuals into subjects (it transforms them all) by that very precise operation which I have called interpellation or hailing, and which can be imagined along the lines of the most commonplace everyday police (or other) hailing: β€˜Hey, you there!’[[18]](https://ww
