Remember how the Italian Futurists provided a ton of art and poetry for the nascent Fascist movement while the jackbooted thugs were out burning and killing and beating people, and the Futurist movement and the jackbooted thug movement, nominally on the same side, were from such totally different worlds that they basically didn't know of each others existence? And the futurists just went on making weird fascist art until all of them died in the war?
Either way I was gonna read this and got about a page in and realized there were like ten more pages and I assure you; I do not care enough about weird fascist art students in NYC to finish this article.
The Futurists were at least somewhat interesting, but this crop of fascists has nothing to offer culturally. Filming people calling each other slurs, give me a break.
If all of it reads like this, it just seems like it's a disjointed film based off of random 4chan threads
Reading through this I keep thinking this is like some sort of satire, like this is a satirical scenario in a fictional story.
What is actually going on, he's a movie/cultural critic who is invited to be filmed for this movie answering a question like its a documentary style format, but then theres also this sci fi thing going on? Theres an audience watching the movie being filmed? Its somehow both a film shoot and a public struggle session against a guy who wrote insulting reviews of the previous films at the same time? He talks about a crowd but a crowd of what, what the fuck is any of this, is there a crowd of like filming staff and extras and shit or are there just random people and friends sitting around to watch a bad film being made?
Again, it just reads like its a bizarre script for some extremely meta film about local art scenes, this is all one single event he's writing about?
This is more foreign to me than literally anything I have read about any other culture or country, genuinely alien experience trying to understand a single part of this whole clusterfuck. Like this random art scene has made their own planet out of the gravitational pull of their egos.
Weird how the entire audience for this movie is also in it; kinda like that one arriere-garde movie in Infinite Jest
wait they're still trying to make art in New York? christ have some self respect
curtis yarvin is nearly 50. he should have found a real job by now.
i do appreciate that there's a constellation of twitter users and podcasters who think there ought to be a hollywood for making tweets and podcasts
The only good thing i can say about Musk and Bezos is that if i had an "instantly vaporize exactly one billionaire" button, i'd use it for Thiel immediately.
Read the full article and the whole post 'left' NYC trust fund art scene sounds like a bad acid trip. Hipster Jonestown or some shit.
I know that the Chapos have repeatedly avoided mentioning their own friends as being part of this shit when making fun of articles covering it, but eventually they won't be able to avoid that, right?
Honestly I would bet not, I'm pretty sure after Virgil left and COVID happened they split, and now only Will is living in New York. Maybe Chris too. Pretty sure Matt is in LA, and I have no idea where Felix is these days.
I genuinely cannot fathom why anyone would move from NY to LA, LA is the most hellish city I’ve ever had the misfortune of being in except for maybe Orlando.
“Let’s have all the shitty parts of a city, like traffic, high prices, bad smells, and homelessness so bad that incomprehensible levels of human suffering are visible on every sidewalk, but without the benefit of actually having cool things near each other and easily accessible. I love sitting in 3 hours of traffic just to drive a few miles away in the same city!”
New York sucks in many ways but at least it had the subway and is dense enough to walk places. LA is an irredeemable hellscape that should be razed to the ground.
“ The fucking place should be wiped off the face of the Earth. To be anything to do with rock and roll and to go and live in Los Angeles is I think just heading for disaster. It really is. Even Brian Eno, who's so adaptable and quite as versatile as I now am living in strange and foreign environments, he couldn't last there more than six weeks. He had to get out. But he was very clever: he got out much earlier than I did.”
-David Bowie
Fuck I love Bowie even more now. That first sentence is what I normally say about LA, pretty much word for word.
felix is bussing from city to city, maxing out his tinder swipes in each one and then moving on without messaging any matches, leaving only a trail of new old stock juul pods in his wake
At least when Red Scare was about DSA drama it was interesting, this shit is just boring. Like, imagine being in your 30's, having been on a real ass TV show, and then having to say 'based' and 'cringe' in some sort of wannabe Tarantino style piece that doesn't even have the decency to kill off most of the characters at the end. God the post-left New York art scene is boring.
Edit: I read through the article and it's literally just Studio 51 rage critic sessions with less drugs. This is banal even by New York art cult standards. Every single camera should be sold and the studio should be given to the homeless, at least whatever they do will be inherently more 'artistic' than whatever this whole thing was.
Second Edit: Where is GG Allin when you need him?
her trademark slur
People often ask me, "But you're just playing video games right? What makes you a pro gamer?"
Look they didn't even say the gamer word, that was how mild this was for being 'un-PC'.
A real gamer plays more than one class and uses more than one slur. Depending on my guild's needs, I can either hop on my rogue and be homophobic or my druid and attack different kinds of Asian people. Pure situational awareness, well-honed reflexes, a black hole of insecurity that lets me slur until my nose bleeds no matter what kind of accent the enemy has.
everyone involved in this should be shot
maybe even the author themselves
Feels like any reasonable person would quit after an experience like this, what the fuck more could be gained by covering anything related to whatever this shit is.
Some of my favourite musical artists have quit performing for jobs like becoming a lawyer or a pig farmer, this guy should do so too ASAP.
I'm into the Shakespeare was ghostwritten by Marlowe theory because that's at least a conspiracy
begging this site's userbase to realize that "post-left" doesn't mean "person who was a leftist and is now Done with It" despite what some weird podcasters desperate for clout want to tell you. let these weirdos die in obscurity
to be fair i don't think the marxists here would approve of zerzan either
that's fair but zerzan will always be infinitely cooler than these nerds even if you h8 his philosophy
Thou art truly blessed to be ignorant of thee evilest speak contained within the parchment before us
