/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

Welcome to the Mongolian political horsewhispering forum, also known as /mlpol/. This thread is dedicated to helping out newfags coming to the site with integrating into the local culture. If you have a question about something, or need spoonfed on something, don't be afraid to ask me or any other Anon willing to help.

Here's a few things to start.

1.- Read the policy page first: https://mlpol.net/policy.html

2.- When in doubt, lurk moar.

3.- Praise American, Praise Football.

4.- MODS = GODS.

5.- Anonfilly did nothing wrong.

6.- No one knows what /1ntr/ is for, not even /1ntr/.

7.- Check the catalog.

8.- Go away, Zald.

9.- Don't start shit.

11.- This is nice board.

And finally...

12.- The right to bare ponies SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

4/20/2024 was the beginning of the end of times

Men and women under 30 are experiencing a rapidly growing ideological divide. Globally, data shows that women are becoming more liberal in their ideology. Conversely, men are becoming more conservative.
You cannot keep up a system that alienates young fighting age men on a mass scale. Eventually, those men will figure out that they can just use force and take what they want, and the henpecking HR schoolmarms will be powerless to stop them.

Post what books your reading /mlpol/.
Also don't think we've made a must book list so guess if your into that post which books you think are must reads for /mlpol/.

Personally I think everyone should read Evola's works currently working my way through them now. Really looking forward to reading his thoughts and criticisms on national socialism and fascism.

Gentlemen, behold!

I have returned, and assuming that interest in these threads continues, I will henceforth be resuming my review series, though I am altering my approach slightly. I will explain below.

>What the hell is this?!?
These threads first began as a mostly humorous response to a certain obnoxious British poster who shall remain nameless. Way back in the bygone days of 2018, this individual attempted to shill a fanfiction he'd written by starting not one but two threads about it. The response to his opus was almost universally negative, and unfortunately he was not the sort of person who handled criticism well. The resultant shitflinging war would become known in the annals of /mlpol/ history as Glimmergate II.

This unnamed individual's intense autism eventually became so repellent that I took it upon myself to go through his work line by line and tell him, quite explicitly, everything that was wrong with it. This turned out to be a much larger project than I'd envisioned, and it ultimately took several months to complete. Due to the author's fixation with Starlight Glimmer, which formed the center of the controversy, I adopted Glim Glam as a moniker.

I started the project under the assumption that it was just a bit of funposting that would run its course and then end. As far as literary criticism went, I was mostly just blowing smoke out of my ass and having a giggle; I assumed that sooner or later the drama would die down and my tripfagging would get annoying. As such, the original plan was to finish what I had to say about Silver Star Apple and the Search for More Money, Love, The Meaning of Life, and Magical Cards, and then let "Glim Glam" drift quietly off into the sunset as long as I'm spilling my guts here I might as well come clean: I was also the guy who was tripfagging as King Battlebrit.

However, for whatever reason, people formed an impression that I actually had some idea of what the fuck I was talking about when it came to books, and so I received several requests from various Anons to review more fimfiction stories. After doing a couple of these, I realized I enjoyed reviewing stories, and also that as a writer I was learning a surprising amount from these authors mistakes, and thus Glim Glam's Infinite Ham-Slam was born.

>No, seriously, what the hell is this?!?
To my eternal surprise, these threads have not only continued to generate interest here, but I've also had a couple of odd people from outside the site wander in and ask me to review things. A couple of anons have said that my comments on a few stories might be of value to the MLP fan community at large, and have suggested that I reformat them to make them a little more...palatable.

Again, when I first began this project, I assumed these were mostly just shitposts being written on a site that few people bothered to visit, and as such I had no compunctions about peppering them with vulgarity and slurs because really, if you can't use the internet to anonymously hurl epithets at a complete stranger, then what is it even for?. With a couple of exceptions, most of the stories I've reviewed are well-known, well-loved stories written by horse-famous authors. As such, I feel like I've mostly been punching up, and I make absolutely no apology for any comments I've made about how god-awful most of this dreck actually is when you examine it closely.

However, in a slightly broader scope, asking someone from the more genteel quarters of the fandom to comb through page after page of me calling Pen Stroke a faggot may be a rather tall order, particularly if they are unfamiliar with the way imageboards work. So, I have decided to make the following changes to my approach:

1. These threads will still be done in the same read-and-react format to which you are all accustomed, and in general not much is going to change. However, I am going to make a conscious effort to make my commentary a smad less obscene no promises, but I do intend to try, and I am also going to try to get through individual stories more quickly (especially the long ones).

2. I will also be hosting an off-site blog (currently in development, link will be posted when it's ready) containing truncated reviews of select stories, reformatted to be more accessible to the broader MLP fandom and fanfiction community. Reviews posted to this blog will be formatted like normal articles, and will be a summation of my thoughts on the fics being discussed, rather than a long, meandering read-through, and will contain 20% fewer gay jokes and ethnic slurs. Updates will be posted as the project progresses.

Now then, with all of that out of the way...

We've already seen how AI is disrupting society, but biotechnology may have an even bigger impact. Imagine a world where everything from plastics to fertilizers are grown from biomass. Where cell and immunotherapies are personalized. And where gene editing tools are widely available. This is what is over the horizon. The U.S. has already put together a National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (https://www.biotech.senate.gov) to establish itself as the leader in biotech. How will biotechnology change society and how will it change geopolitics?

Anyone got good Holocaust denial propaganda? I got into a fight with my boomer parents.

Old-mare Thread: >>325047 →

John Barnett, a former 32-year employee of Boeing, found dead in his vehicle from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" before arriving for his third day of cross examination in a lawsuit against the company.

I'm a little late for the party on this one as it is a day old, but I was busy and just got around to it. Regardless, this is interesting timing, which I will go over. This started when John was finished working for the company after being not only ignored for safety concerns, but actively told that he was not to work contrary to the company.

He would state in his interview back in 2019: "That entire team came down. They were from the military side. My impression was their mindset was – we are going to do it the way we want to do it. Their motto at the time was – we are in Charleston and we can do anything we want."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-163.1-163.231

I'm unsure if this means that a literal military component of Boeing was involved like contractors, or if it was a militaristic mindset. Either way, John stated he noticed something was up a bit over a decade ago "in 2011 and 2012, it was more of paperwork administrative issues – they didn’t want us documenting defects, they didn’t want us to complete paperwork correctly. They wanted us to just close jobs that weren’t done just to get the jobs closed out. It was more administrative."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-175.1-175.279

He goes on to explain that "defective parts were mishandled and sometimes lost or refitted to planes from the company scrapyard to meet production timelines." and "he had discovered major issues in some of the planes' oxygen systems which could lead to one in four masks not functioning properly."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-1705.21-1705.150

More concerning is the company both denying his direct claim but acknowledging it as true internally as "it acknowledged that an inspection in 2017 found that some oxygen bottles were in fact not deploying properly."
https://archive.is/udepd#selection-937.367-937.477

There was also a problem with how the planes were assembled, using the wrong type of bolts that would leave sharp shavings around that risked slicing vital wiring and interfering with components. "They are up to three inches long. They are razor sharp titanium slivers. When the fasteners are installed to hold down the floorboards, the threads are getting peeled off the fasteners. And those threads are falling down on top of the wire bundles and electronic equipment. Over time, as the vibrations of the airplane work the slivers into the wire bundles and into the connectors, they are going to short something out eventually. I don’t see how it is possible that they don’t." "After I filed my complaint, the FAA came in and did a spot audit. They audited five airplanes in Everett and five airplanes in Charleston. And they found the metal slivers in all ten airplanes they inspected."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-319.1-319.481

And, in case there was any doubt, as we all could guess, this ties back around to diversity mandates, even if the media refuses to name it. "Boeing has denied Barnett's allegations but a 2017 investigation by the FAA found issues that plagued their aircraft." "The FAA found at least 53 non-conforming parts with unknown locations in the factory." "They also found that mechanics at Spirit AeroSystems, one of Boeing's suppliers, used hotel key cards to check door seals and Dawn soap as a lubricant."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-2507.0-2517.151

I suppose only the dumbest of niggers, spics, and token white liberals may apply at Boeing these days. In fact, they had to teach these dumbfucks that there was a difference in measurement types. "In February, the FAA concluded that Boeing had "a lack of awareness of safety-related metrics at all levels." "It also said that "employees had difficulty distinguishing the differences among various measuring methods, their purpose and outcomes." "In response to the recent FAA audit, Boeing released a statement that they would have conversations with employees that do not understand manufacturing procedures reported the Washington Post."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-2539.0-2551.1

Enter this trial where John is suing Boeing for defamation by calling him a liar when they did internal investigations and proved him telling the truth. He had completed two days of the cross examination. He then was found dead in his truck before arriving to court for the third day. "He was found dead in his orange pickup truck with a silver handgun in his hand and finger still on the trigger, according to a police report." "A worker at the motel where Barnett was staying reported hearing a "pop" sound near the back of the building where the ex-employee was found dead around 9:30 am." All of this apparently happened on the 9th and he declared deceased on the 11th.
https://archive.is/2I6KK#selection-1745.1-1779.3

I do find this timing especially interesting given the recent news of Homeland Security getting involved with gaming diversity, as this anon covered.

It seems we are rapidly approaching the phase of replacement where you aren't allowed to comment on everything failing because it might slow down things a bit to try and do patchwork. Even telling niggers how measuring works is approaching hatecrime it seems, which warrants your immediate termination. No no, not termination from your job, your life.
