“no, the masses were not innocent dupes; at a certain point, under a certain set of conditions, they wanted fascism” - Deleuze and Guattari, Anti-Oedipus, p.38. I’m not going to use this piece of shit platform anymore. Fuck Elon Musk and fuck Trump.

@digital_objects “move beyond modernity as it exists now — trapped in its Backrooms and virtual plazas, haunted by digital ghosts symbolising the end — we must reconceptualize what localization means in relation to globalization.” 5/5

@digital_objects “…inherently tied to, and reflective of, the global. … Overcoming modernity through modernity recognizes the same philosophical imperative that underlies anti-hauntology. Localized aesthetics are not enough to counter the aesthetics of the apocalypse. In order to…” 4/

"If the American theorist Fredric Jameson defined the pastiche as the cultural strategy of late capitalism, the latest album by Dos Monos will make him turn again and again in his grave."

"On the 31st of May 2024, Dos Monos, the experimental hip-hop group formed by Zo Zhit, Taitan, and NGS, returns to the music of the past in order to plunder it..."

@sanjanasjokes @BlueLabyrinths This piece absolutely rocks. Sometimes amazes me how much some blog/mag I've never heard of can make the whole world of offical intellectualdom seem like a pyramid scheme. What is it about big-name outlets which so rigorously precludes this/any degree of soul? Anyway, thx

@writingDouglas @sanjanasjokes Glad you enjoyed! Feel free to send us over something if you think it’ll be a good fit!

@LokiEstraven @xenogothic For what it’s worth I think Death Grips are pure AH (by the standards we set in the initial articles) - MB

@xenogothic I find this very interesting. I think there is/was indeed a synthesis happening in the 2010s of hauntology and accelerationism. Maybe Death Grips would also be a face(-meltdown) of such kind. My own work in poetry and digital art moves there too. Though no one knows me. 😅
