screaming from beyond

I'm ready to be there with you comrade.

Please anarchists, I want to be owned.

I know the non-tracking is important, but sub to the patreon so he gets some dosh for future videos folks.

It's a banger.

Walt Disney, the Elon of his day, but also

Hey, I'm 53 as well!

Incels are shit and must report for reeducation.

However, that's not to say dating and relationships arent incredibly dystopian these days under late capital. The fact that many ways to meet partners are monetized and gamefied is still something we can and should critique.

But that's (importantly) not saying incels are right in any way shape or form, since they feel entitled to a partner, rather than frustrated at material conditions (something that would be justifiable). Ironically, in their nostalgia for trad life they become idealists par excellence, missing out on all the material conditions that also make the "trad" life impossible.

We'll always have this at least

I don't have an image but I think Jesse Ventura needs to be either the icon or header. He is a GOAT and the anti-Hogan

But the official podcast of the forum is citations needed

AOC is doing what the unions want her to do is from a legendary struggle session during the railroad strike 2yrs ago. A user called liberal socialist started spamming threads with it, eventually getting banned.

Ikaruga is incredible

Dreamcast was the peak console for 2d fighters. Best version of MVC2. Capcom vs SNK 2. Now proof the DOA version was better.

I still have my Dreamcast in storage. Maybe someday I'll grab a burner and download games. It was very easy to burn disks iirc.

GOOD post. I am not going to argue hooks is correct on everything (you mention Butler who, I think, really has a good bead on the limits of hooks' argument, but also correctly pegs it as 'prococative'.). Indeed, I just think it's a compelling entry point for all of its flaws.

It's been years since I watched the film, but the role of whiteness as the ideal still rings true to me (and the thing we shouldn't discard from hooks). This is to say, I don't think it's a dismissal at all when she talks about the "throne of whiteness". Instead, it is the structuring undercurrent of a racist society where drag performers, no matter the motive (trans, gay, etc) adopt personas in the film that are incredibly informed by white femininity, and something to perhaps reckon with. I'd like to think we're better about this now, but scrutinizing the kind of femininity that's privileged in the drag culture that Livingston centers in the film in particular is just a really on point moment.

I also just love imagining her shouting "what's so funny about this" in the theater, which strikes me as incredibly based. I think a critical approach is very important though, and interventions like Butlers allow us to get into that (and indeed, hooks never mentions Venus Extravaganza, who Butler of course centers for all the reasons you mention above).

Comrades, Paris is burning is amazing.

Afterwards, consider reading bell hooks' review/critique.

I'm not going to pay my student loans whenever they get turned back on (in MOHELA forbearance).

I should submit a PSLF app as a fucking bit, maybe they'll cancel it on the way out. But even if it does, Biden is forever a dogshit pres. They could have bought me, but they didn't bother to do good things, instead doing shit like this.

Read If we burn for more! My reading group threads are still in /c/theory

Clearly you weren't with me in the phbb days.

I love the heavy handed moderation, it's a throwback to the pre reddit era and it's generally great for the vibes imo

Since I don't know your tendency lol

In short, use the moment this event has provided when doing IRL work in whichever way you feel necessary but when we're among ourselves, we should always remember there are those who deserve our solidarity and our attention to their memory far more than those the general public already recognize and whom are actually our own.

Great post. Using the event is how we should engage in all circumstances. We don't need to praise him to use him as a tool to get people to recognize a shared struggle.

When I re-read Revolutionary Adventurism I just found myself nodding "yes yes" and then to see the amount of people trying to argue it's good is just baffling to me.

BTW, I will acknowledge that seeing the fervor of people in America about this issue is good - but we won't harness that fervor by offing more CEO's, and we don't need to give uncritical support to an adventurist.
