What are some good resources on dialectics?

Well obviously Marx himself but im not sure where he speaks on dialectics and such. Secondary literature is also something I’d be interested in. Thanks in advance!

I’ve read around 100 pages of suttree and rarely laugh, are the jokes going over my head or is it just not very funny yet?

At times, I have laughed. But maybe only 4 times or so and I’m wondering if I miss the jokes or something

Im unsure if im queer or not and trying to find out is scaring me for reasons I can’t really explain

Im a pretty young male and I know I have some attraction to men. I even considered myself bisexual at like 8 but considering I didn’t have ANY sexual attraction to any gender at that age and relationships meant nothing, I wasn’t bisexual at all…

Contrary to close friends, I’ve never been revolted by the idea of kissing a man and can even imagine myself getting pleasure out of it. Also, albeit this isn’t anything I have told them, the same goes for sex with men.

Now reading this, you must think I most definitely am queer. But the thing that confuses me is that I have never seen a man, or atleast a clothed man, and thought to myself ”I’m sexually attracted to this dude”. That is something that I assume is necessary for being considered attracted to that gender. I constantly find myself thinking such things about women i see walking down the street or in a tv show etc. But never a man.

Now, I don’t really know how I would even go about exploring my sexuality. Considering I don’t know any gay men, I don’t pull women and I assume I couldn’t pull men either. Even if I somehow could, im incredibly reluctant to doing it, and I’m not really sure why. Im not scared of finding out i actually am bi since I live in an incredibly accepting country and im not even the slightest homophobic.

What are your thoughts? What should I do?

What’s the safest artistic line of work?

Like, what work that allows you to express yourself artistically is the safest bet to ensuring yourself a good future? I’m a big movie fan but I don’t wanna go to film school because I’m scared of failure and not having a degree for the future

Im wondering, how did y’all interpret Inland empire?

I recently watched this movie and got literally zero out of it except for that a curse was cast upon Nikki and it was cast because she and her co-star re-enacted the cursed, polish folk tale. I also noted that Nikki was a member of all economics classes, but I cant seem to connect the dots.

But im interested in you’re interpretation of the film!

How would I go about making or atleast try to make movies at 14?

I have practically no money so I can’t really get good equipment and props, no one who can act except for my cousins who are older then me but still to young. I’m not aspiring to do a full length movie as my first project, hell it doesn’t even need to have dialogue. One of my favorite movies is a 30 min long silent film (Scorpio rising by Kenneth anger), I just wanna make something! Any tips?

Why do I don’t hear about more ”insurrectionary” or ”an-nihilist” crimes?

With the amount of anarcho-nihilists and insurrectionaries i come upon on the internet, its weird to not hear more about shootings and such from anarchists. Am I misinterpreting what it means to be those two things?

Is this a nazist illustration?

Probably the wrong sub for this but wtv

This screenshot is from Kenneth Angers ”Scorpio rising” and I enjoyed the movie a lot and find this picture/painting extremely cool. I wanna have it as a profile picture on letterboxd but im worried its a nazist iconography, does anyone know if it is?

A human skull is, sometimes, used as a nazi symbol and this is movie is also about nazis so that’s why I am concerned

Is there any proof for Spinozas god?

Im an atheist and have recently started learning about Spinoza. But in my studies I have come about a problem. From how I see it, religious people in general are religious because they grew up that way or had some type of spiritual experience rather than actual concrete proof (This is not to discredit their beliefs or anything). So by this logic, I can understand where they’re coming from. I know for sure that if I had any experience like that, I would be religious. But I haven’t and i grew up in a secular family and country, so when my atheism is based on lack of proof for anything else.

So that leads me to my question, is there any factual proof for the god of Spinoza? It doesn’t need to be proof either, why do you believe in Spinozas god?

I should add, I haven’t read Spinoza himself yet so this question might be answered when I get around to reading him, thanks in advance!

Books in defense of capitalism?

I am an anarcho-communist and I wanna learn more about libertarianism and such. Any good books which makes a case for capitalism?

Im not looking for a response to Marx or anything, just a books which explains the benefits of free market capitalism and maybe some capitalist economy. I am completely new to reading about economy so i would prefer if the text was introductory level, thanks in advance!

Pusher 3 ending felt unsatisfactory

I liked that the first one was somewhat ambigous/open ended, and Pusher 2 ending is just amazing. But the Pusher 3 ending felt anti-climatic. I guess its supposed to show he’s still on top or whatever but it still felt poorly done tbh. I have seen a lot of people, my dearest friend including, saying Pusher 3 is the best Pusher but it provides the same unique feeling as the others and about as good as story as the others but with an ending that feels pointless. Can anyone help me make sense of this ending?
