I posted this interview because it seems interesting. Gossip seems like the appropriate comm because Piers Morgan sucks and the brother is a chud.

I've added a summary in the description. The brother says what he thinks the pope's political opinions are. He says they talk twice a week. The brother may be lying or may be telling the truth. Either way it's still his brother and it's interesting to know that the pope has a chud American brother.

I don't know the exact details of what happened. I'm saying what Haz Al-din claimed his intentions were. He says that he told his followers to join CPUSA to "change the party line" (ie takeover) and then the party began to ban people who associated with him.

The reason why I told my followers to join the CPUSA is because having disagreements with the ideological, strategic or even programmatic line with the party is not sufficient grounds for abandoning it.

As Stalin pointed out, the Communist way is to submit to the will of the majority of the party, however erroneous it may be regarded by you individually.

The point is that through internal discussions and dialogue, you may have an opportunity to argue on behalf of the correctness of your position, in order to persuade others and ultimately change the party line.

This is the point of democratic centralism: To make the party as an institution responsive to changes and nuances concerning the will of the majority, while simultaneously enforcing submission to the outcome of that will.

So even when the party decided to undemocratically and unconstitutionally pursue a policy of trying to ban members affiliated with 'Infrared,' I continued to tell my followers to hold out, to stay in the party and follow its rules and procedures, and conceal their views.

I'm not sure what you mean. Hinkle and Haz Al-din already formed a political party last year called American Communist Party ACP. This was after they tried to takeover CPUSA, but got kicked out. They're already pretending to be "actual communists". They even quote Marxist literature but they misinterpret it to support right wing beliefs. I'm not sure what their actual membership number are but they post photos on twitter.

I get that. I interpreted the tone of the post to be sarcastic. Maybe I've been reading too many Democrat posts on twitter or reddit. Maybe my post didn't need to have the first 2 lines. The second line of my post maybe implied that they support Biden and maybe I interpreted that incorrectly.

The point that I wanted to express is that I genuinely believe that Biden and Democrats are equally to blame for the current state of the economy. The second point I wanted to make is that if Biden or Kamala would have won the election, I believe that they would have made very similar or same policy decisions to Trump. Kamala ran campaign ads that said she was going to be harsher on the border than Trump. Biden/Kamala staffers went on Israeli television to say that they secretly never planned to have a ceasefire in Gaza. Tariffs and anti-China policies are bipartisan. When the media recently asked Democrat politicians about tariffs, they would only say that tariffs should be more precise and not that they oppose the use. I think Kamala would have also placed tariffs on China and maybe other countries.

Another theory I have is that Democrats wanted Trump to win. In much of Kamala's campaign, she did the exact opposite of what she was told to do by polling and campaign advisors. Kamala sent Bill Clinton to Dearborn Michigan to tell the Muslim voters that West Bank was called Judea and Samaria. She lost every swing state. By letting Trump win, Trump takes the blame for US losing global hegemon status, Trump takes the blame for the genocide that Biden enabled in Gaza, Trump takes the blame for suppressing the anti-Zionist protestors that the Democrats also hate, Trump takes the blame for enacting anti-China policies that Democrats also want to do, Trump takes the blame for migrant deportations which Kamala campaigned on doing, etc. Democrat politicians secretly like the things that Trump is doing, so they just sit back and collect donations while he takes the heat. It's like how Roe V Wade was overturned in the first half of Biden's presidency and then he literally did nothing about it because Biden is against abortion.

The plane is crashing and Democrats don't know how to fly, so they let Republicans take the pilot seat.

These are just the rules of the community called "The Scene". Fitgirl is not scene, for example. Also torrent sites are not part of the scene. Groups which release their content to torrent sites are usually called P2P groups. Torrents have built in hash checking as part of the torrent protocol. A release is only "The Scene" if it is listed in a predb.

The reason that Scene use CRC32 is probably because the scene is focused on racing. SHA256 would have a much longer calculation time. The scene has bunches of different groups, but there is only allowed to be 1 scene release per content slot. The scene rules set a minimum quality requirement. Whichever group fills the slot first has their group name in the predb forever. If a release is a duplicate or doesn't match the rules, then it gets "nuked". The groups compete with each other to be fastest.

I think also the CRC rule was originally decided in 1998. This might be the main reason.

In either case, be sure that you are not creating a solid archive, because if you do, the FTP sites will not be able to test the CRC integrity of each of the individual 15 meg segment file.

Before you start thinking about uploading your RAR files, please run a quick CRC test on each .0* file to check the validity of the archive. Ensure that you didn't run out of hard drive space during the archive processing which could result in bad files.

1.15 The final release directory may contain only the following items:

• RAR archive volumes
• NFO file (singular)
• SFV file (singular)

I saw that same video. He said that he was a fan of Hasan and watched Hasan for news coverage but didn't like that Hasan engaged in the debate. That guy is allowed to have an opinion.

Hasan has done a lot of things to move the needle on Palestine. He's been doing news coverage on Palestine for over 10 years. I started watching Hasan during the first Trump presidency and he would do coverage on the Abraham Accords and Israeli raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque. I would try to talk to people about it at the time and people would always say like "Why do you care about Palestine? you live in America." There are many people on Hexbear right now who don't know what Trump's policies were on Israel and Palestine during his first term.

I don't think Hasan was able to turn down the Ethan debate. Ethan had been harassing Hasan and Hasan's friends for months. There was a lot of pressure for Hasan to do the debate.

There's this post on reddit by the RevolutionTT admin from 1 month ago. The admin says they sent out mass emails to old users. Reddit users are saying that this is a scheme to bait for money donations.

The OP of this this hexbear post has the same name as the Youtube channel. It's the same person.

Skidrow is a scene group. There's this thing called "The Scene". It's been around since the 1970s. It's not a website or centralized at any place. The Scene is made up of decentralized groups and they talk over IRC and agree upon release rules and release their files on ftp servers called "Topsites". Topsites are only accessible by scene members but the releases get leaked to torrent sites. The structure is sort of anarchistic, but which I mean nonhierarchical and consensus-based decision making. It's kind of fascinating.

To determine whether a scene release is trustworthy, it would depend where you downloaded it from and whether the release is still in the original rar files. Scene releases are uploaded to Topsites, but they are also announced in what is called a "pre", the pre is the announcement message on the IRC server. There is a thing called "predb", which records all of the release messages and makes them publicly searchable. The scene rules say that a game release has to be published in a multipart RAR archive, which also includes an .nfo file and a .sfv file. The reason for this is that Scene is very old and file transfers used to be slow so they broke up big releases into small even-sized files to easily replace corrupted files. The NFO file includes ascii art and information about the release. The SFV file contains CRC32 checksums for each RAR file. The SFV file is used to determine whether the RAR files were modified or corrupted.

I will say disclaimer. It is possible to fake CRC32 checksums. Matching CRC32 will not guarantee that files have not been tampered, but if the CRC32 doesn't match then the files have been tampered or corrupted.

1. Make sure that you are getting the files from a website that you trust.
2. Make sure that the release is still in the original scene multipart rar files.
3. Search a predb website for the release name which matches the files that you downloaded.
4. Look at the CRC32 checksums on the website and check that it matches the file you downloaded.

I not sure the best way to do CRC32 checksums on windows. I usually do checksums on windows using 7zip software. With 7zip software, you can right click on a file in windows file explorer > 7-Zip > CRC SHA > CRC 32.

I'm going to say this very nicely because I think Hexbear should invite new people to learn about Socialism.

We don't support Biden here. This is a Marxist and Anarchist website.

The US economy was headed towards collapse no matter whether Republicans or Democrats won the presidency. The US economy has been built around short term profit seeking for decades. Once China's economy outgrew the US economy, the US went into meltdown because they want to remain as the global hegemon. In September 2024, the US congress passed 25 anti-China bills in 1 week.

Xi Jinping came to the US/California during Biden's presidency, October 2023. Even Gruesome Newsom was friendly towards China and presented Xi with gifts. Biden told the press immediately after the meeting that Xi is a "dictator" and was hostile towards China. Biden's own cabinet expressed disappointment with how Biden acted. This is as much Biden's fault as it is Trump's fault and also the fault of every previous US president going back decades.

In September 2024, Biden's administration put a 100% tariff on Electric vehicles from China and a 50% tariff on solar panels.
