The last year has been surreal. Quarantine has me alienated to the point where I'm not entirely sure that humanity still exists, and isn't just some sort of elaborate social media simulation. For example, I'm only 80% sure that chapo dot chat isn't just me posting alongside a bunch of chatbots.
Anti-natalism is one of my favorite forms of liberal brainworms. It's basically turning alienation into an ideology. Instead of seeing misery as a material condition, they essentialize it as a natural part of human life, and therefore advocate for the end of humanity instead of the end of capitalism. Distilled capitalist realism, lol.
Basterds for me. I didn't like Django because Christoph Waltz's character felt out of place, like it was just an excuse to cast Christoph Waltz again.
ill take your word for it
Hegel be like:
Hence being-in-itself is, first, negative reference to non-existence; it has otherness outside it and is opposed to it; in so far as something is in itself, it is withdrawn from being-other and being-for-other. But, second, it has non-being also right in it; for it is itself the non-being of being-for-other.
lol, ok boomer
I'm ashamed to admit how much time this weirdo has spent living rent-free in my head this last year. That bonkers interview where he talked about binge eating pizza while sweating profusely really threw me for a loop.
Reddit since Biden has me feeling like millenials are about to lurch rapidly to the neoconservative right.
I think that's why I'm ok with Hades, where everyone is hot including the fellas.
The real question is Who is to be done?
I can't downvote it so what else am I supposed to do?
got damn that's a beautiful backyard
Neera Tanden's greatest hits.
its either Denmark, Belgium, or Prussia--I don't think anyone knows for sure
stealing this metaphor. it's so much better than the voldemort/horcrux metaphor libs invoke at every possible opportunity
by far the most effective anti-imperialist of the 20th century, among other things
also, never fucking forget the reds went to space first
No worries, I'm borderline drunk too. What I like about Bakunin is that he focused in on how a dictatorship of the proletariat (DPTP) will inherently struggle to dissolve itself into statelessness--which given the history of the 20th century is hard to deny. I still feel that DOTP is necessary, but that the theory of transition to statelessness is utterly nonexistent in MLM canon (or at least I'm not aware of it), which leaves me unusually open to ancom ideas.
I guess that's also my problem--I don't trust the people in general. I trust the proletariat, and I don't trust their oppressors. A dictatorship of the proletariat aimed at destroying the bourgeois seems as justified and necessary as the forcible destruction of the slave owning class in the South during the US civil war.
First off: I'm a stupid person too. Second of all: I love anarcho-communists--my holdup is that I don't trust them to defend the revolution against counter revolution.
To answer this, I have to split it up into two categories: straight and gay. My favorite straight guys are the stoner types who have bizarre but strongly held opinions about music, like believing that Flowers was the Rolling Stones' greatest album.
My favorite gay guys are the ones who casually tell you within 5 minutes of meeting them for the first time that they've had the cops called on them by their neighbors because they like to scream during sex, and how they're thinking of switching therapists because they didn't "show sufficient empathy" for the fact that his ex-husband asked him to go on a double-date with their new boyfriends.
