  • As someone who has actually never read Nietzsche, but some years ago did a course in college that had him, I have to ask: What is so wrong about Dessalines description of Nietzsche?

    My takeaway from the course was that he was sort of a proto-fascist saying that society was divided between the weak and the strong, and if wasn't for certain institutions that "glorify" the weak like the Judeo-Christian religions, the strong would rightfully subjugate the weak.

    If that is a wrong view of his work I'm open for other interpretations.


  • I'm a bit of an indies person, so recently I've finished "Session: Skate Sim", a game that really impressed me with the depth of its movement and how rewarding it feels to progress it. I've also just finished "Lonely Mountains Downhill", that even though it doesn't have advanced mechanics, more than makes up for it on the discovery factor by allowing you to forge your own path to finish the tracks.

    Right now I've just started "Furi" that seems to be half 2D shooter half beat-em-up where there are only boss fights, all in great combination with the psychedelic graphics and electronic soundtrack. I've also started to play "Disco Elysium" as I've seen multiple people here and in hexbear recommending it, but just some hours in I can tell it's going to take a long time to finish it.







  • I also am pretty limited regarding theory, but I do remember seeing an online video of a teacher saying how, at the end of his life, Marx was studying primitive forms of society and their complexity.

    So I do have to question you in what do you mean by complex societies, because from what I understand ours is a extremely simple one, you are either a worker or a capitalist, there are in betweens but there isn't any other class you can be part of in capitalism.



  • I've been listening to 2000s electronic lately, mostly Boards of Canada's "Geogaddi" and "Campfire Headphase" and sometimes The Unicorns' "Who Will Cut Our Hair"

    Edit: I don't know how I forgot this, but "The Fire This Time" is an audio documentary about the us intervention in the Middle East that fans of IDM should definitely listen to.


  • I don't think it's correct to call them a fascist band.

    They disbanded in 98 and the allegations against Stza are from the 2010s, the fact that a single member became a POS over a decade later doesn't determine what the band is a whole.

    Idk, I fell that saying that is like saying that "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is leftist only because John Lennon became one years latter.
