this seems true. philosophy becomes for a lot of fragile people a kind of escape into esotericism as well as an idea of "high culture"; a milleu in which bigotry of several stripes is easily implicated
@moonbeeaam
basically around some point in my early teens anxiety about having the "wrong" opinion about anything genuinely completely crippled my ability to enjoy most art. ironically, reading some of the ways Berger wrote dismissively of certain works made it worse lol
@moonbeeaam
I guess the typos in the thumbnail... but yeah def also a lot of racism and misogyny, as well as their particular intersection in the case of a black woman
@3mericanj0hnson
yeah I mean all that surplus value they produce only to be forced to pay it out in wages to the workers! the chains of tyranny have truly never weighed more!

Deleuze's Difference and Repitition, which made and makes me love: thinking as an act, as something of an ethical necessity; and being as opposed to judging

@exiliaex
do you have anything say to these (and other) highly dubious quotes from the person you're defending? or would you rather confirm that you hold in your heart the bigotry you're shield, thus doing nothing but proving your interlocutor's point?

ofc I don't know what's behind the scenes and so on, but the power famous actors hold over the livelihoods of so many because of the form of the film industry is so vile.
@3mericanj0hnson
fuck the replies are even better. someone says "that's not hegel" and he responds with an image of a google search of "hegelian dialectics"wwww

@ByYourLogic
also, the egregiousness of going "Gazan just posted..." Like it's a tired point but still: are you saying Gazans as a collective came together and decided to do this? What a fucking creep...
@regularaugust
they are legit just those dumbass Minecraft texture packs that remove any character or charm from the art style... but like on a stupidly massive scale
@pachabelcanon
@frogs4girls
she's legit weird. also engages in a kind climate change minimising, if not denialism. also she routinely posts incredibly reductionist philosophical takes with no legs to stand on. she sucks
@Helenreflects
i would recommend Rorty's essay on Nabokov in Contingency, Irony, Solidarity; it is a really great description of what makes Lolita great
I’ve had to do mandatory physiognomy checks for everyone requesting to come to this protest. I have learned… It has been unfortunately necessary.
If you still want to come, 5pm today. I’ll DM details. Just let me know!
This makes Kautsky a legitimate inheritor of Young Hegelianism through Engels' mediation... and all his influence over Kautsky pushing him towards an old friend...
@exiliaex
also, love how they're putting the role of cops entirely on the "leftists" instead of, you know, on the actual judicial body which ruled against her? lmao

@AmericanGwyn
the whole pub scene with the "big brave warrior"! like such a blunt parody of irish nationalism. Oh and the snot-green sea line and so much other stuff too. what a bizarre example
