Weird how invested people get once they've "reached a higher plane" and experienced ego death, now they go around preaching to everyone how they need to experience ego death and "get on their level" and act with a smug sense of superiority and condescension towards anyone who isn't "open minded enough to see past their ego" and shit.
Maybe they did experience ego death, briefly, but they always seem to invest huge amounts of ego into this experience after the fact.
I agree completely
Hey! ReadFanon did you know that we are in fact reading Fanon for the next few weeks over on the theory comm? Could be fun to check out, maybe share some thoughts. no pressure
I spotted that you're reading Fanon. I've actually been meaning to re-read The Wretched of The Earth but it's hard to scrape together the brainpower to focus on reading at the moment and when I have had the wherewithal I've mostly been doing deep dives into the Spanish Civil War but I really should give TWotE another crack.
yeah no problem, and nooo pressure, we even have this detailed summary you can use to follow along if your brain is too fried to read the book. its like sparknotes. and yeah ive been the the old spanish civil war kick myself, I used to have a friend whos grandpa was an anarchist who fought in the civil war.
so cool. Idk maybe, we dont really talk much anymore. we were gonna make adgitprop together but we kinda just stopped talking. im really bad at maintaining friendships.

Awesome, thanks!
That's wild! There's a documentary filled with interviews from people who lived in the Spanish Republic - I wonder if your friend's grandpa knew anyone who featured in it?
