My grandfather would have been humiliated after his death, but it wasn't until 10 years later that he knew it. Why did the joker transform into a joker? What did you despair about? What do you laugh at?

this guy (yamagami) seemed to have a really bad family life and was super tortured by it. Maternal grandpa was a businessman with money and power at some company and his father was considered to be like the grandpa's heir when he married into the family. But the pressure was too great so the father committed suicide. yamagami felt responsible even though he was 4 years old. That sort of stuff

honestly not so surprising that his mom was driven to a cult

There was a really beautiful piece by Mieville about stuff like this, they read it in one of the TrueAnon pieces iirc. Does anyone know what i'm talking about?

I found it

https://salvage.zone/on-social-sadism/

quote:

Optimism of the will. The principle of hope. In the face of spite and history, there’s a better category of the positive, perhaps, to recruit into radical theory. One that’s rarer, that we don’t need to strive, a priori, to sustain, and/but that we know, even if for flecks of time in the worst times, we might experience, and that is joy.

Property itself is everyday sadism. To see it overthrown, even for a moment, is to know that joy exists, and to know that it is a material force.

We build against sadism. We build to experience the joy of its every fleeting defeat. Hoping for more joy, for longer, each time, longer and stronger; until, perhaps, we hope, for yet more; and you can’t say it won’t ever happen, that the ground won’t shift, that it won’t one day be the sadisms that are embattled, the sadisms that are fleeting, on a new substratum of something else, newly foundational, that the sadisms won’t diminish or be defeated, that those for whom they are machinery of rule won’t be done.

That the idea of quotidian social sadism won’t be unthinkable. There will be a new everyday.
2006. Haiti. In the midst of attempts to tamper with the election of René Préval – the candidate of the poor, associated with the ousted Jean-Bertrand Aristide of the Lavalas party – shortly after smouldering ballot boxes containing countless ballots are found in a dump outside Port-au-Prince, thousands of poor protestors rush into the luxury Montana Hotel.

The hotel overlooks the slums. The people from the slums are watched by the UN ‘peacekeepers’, the forces so central to the multilateralist reign of terror on the island, who try and fail to keep them out.

The protestors wave posters and chant as they take over the grounds. They explore. ‘Now is the time!’ they chant. A helicopter evacuates guests noisily from the roof. The protestors climb trees. They lie at rest on the sunlounges.

Most of the intruders, like so many in Haiti, lack running water. But on 13 February, the masses of the slums, of Cité Soleil, including very many children, dive into the Montana pool, and swim.

looks like the usual suspects have settled on an explanation for why hollywood cant sell their poo poo in china that doesnt require them to admit that its because american movies loving suck now

on the other hand it loving owns that china places arbitrary and stupid censorship requirements on american media to deliberately troll them into hobbling their content and paying tribute if they want access to their enormous consumer base

knowing about how Bad Empanada thinks of the Xinjiang allegations beforehand was precisely why I approached the Holodomor video with some skepticism, but apparently the anticommunism at wikipedia is so deep-seated that it still makes them look bad anyway

Some Guy TT
Aug 30, 2011

the thing about the holodomor video is that there are actually indisputedly credible academic sources that can be pointed to in the article to contrast with the just as indisputedly bad ones so the bias is very obvious he outlines some pretty clear ways the holodomor was real people could present a credible argument the problem is they just dont have any sources to back them up

with the xinjiang video he instead takes the position that its basically impossible for the chinese government to prove that its not doing a genocide since any argument they make to this effect is tainted with bias and any uyghur living in xinjiang needs to be treated like theyve got a gun to their head

you could of course make arguments based on broad statistical data to this effect which empanada rather conspicuously avoids doing i had to pause the video the few times he even made a pretense of that because he rushes past them as quickly as possible to get to the next anecdote
