An insane battle took place there.

@40kWorldview There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

"An open mind is a like fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded."

"According to Fanon, the evil of colonization is something the native does to himself. He persuades himself of his own worthlessness. He accepts European dominion because he acknowledges European superiority, not just in military terms but also in cultural and moral ones as well. According to Fanon, freedom cannot be regained by negotiation; still less can it be regained by accepting help from the former oppressor, whether in the form of medical supplies or of the moral support which today is called “allyship.” True decolonization is existential, and it requires redemptive acts of violence. The colonized must assert himself in order to destroy old beliefs and relationships. Only in a blow against the colonizer does the native become a free agent, capable of making his own history. Without violence toward the former oppressor, Fanon argued (and Sartre agreed), freedom is impossible. Raspail is alive to the full implications of Fanon’s analysis, which so many progressives accepted but which few followed to its logical end. 'The Third World’s desire,' writes Raspail, 'is to be indebted to no one, to in no way dilute the radical meaning of its victory by sharing it with renegades.'" - Nathan Pinkoski, Introduction, The Camp of the Saints

It’s nice to see these ideas make their way to mainstream political consciousness:

It is true that a lot (not all) of the history of the "left" since the late 1700's has been the history of intellectuals dreaming of leading the working classes but utterly failing to connect with them.

@FrenziedFish @breakingyoun It was a charitable pity cast to an old friend who suffered a self-destructive mental illness, plus progressive brownie point bait for the academy/critics. Win-win situation.

@breakingyoun Why didn't he just cast an actual boy? The central role Elleniot plays has easy allusions to her real life trajectory. If the casting decision was completely void of any consideration to her identity it's instead just a bad casting choice as she sucks and is extremely off-putting

No it isnt. Nolan cast her because he needed a tiny small boyish soldier, like Elpinor. There was ZERO real world commentary.

@JLevendia Heard a theory about osteoporosis caused by hormonal imbalances, but I looked up on PubMed/Google Scholar for a few minutes and couldn't corroborate it 🤷🏻

@Fingol_12 The weirdest, barely visible mutants are tokens of the greatest virtue: Bioleninism 101

Why do so many have trouble walking? Wheelchairs aside, try and count the number of those with canes just in this brief interval that the video captured.

@Curious_Rum Έχουν κουράσει, κάθε βδομάδα διψάνε με ένα μιντ.

Who the fuck is thirsting for this though? First time on here I don't get the hype

Είναι απλά άλλη κλίματα του ίδιου φαινομένου που βλέπουμε στο ίνσταγκραμ. Η έξτρα αποκαλυπτική ινφλουένσερ ή «γνωστή γνωστού» σου, δεν το κάνει για τον μέσο αυνάνα στο πλήθος των 2,500 που την ακολουθούν, αλλά για χάρη του τσάντ του οποίου την προσοχή θέλει (αυτός την αγνοεί).

Είναι προφανές πλέον ότι αυτές οι φωτογραφήσεις δεν απευθύνονται στο ευρύ κοινό, αλλά είναι ο τρόπος που ηθοποιοί/τραγουδίστριες βρίσκουν επίδοξους «χορηγούς» στην βιομηχανία θεάματος, εξασφαλίζοντας καριέρα, χρήμα, και περαιτέρω διασυνδέσεις.

The central error in the “suicidal empathy” and “suicide of the West” theses is that they misrepresent homicide as suicide. After the West is finished, those who spent generations engineering its destruction will take loud, visible credit for the kill the moment it becomes safe.

Hyper-politics (politics with high emotional intensity and very low practical impact) is just the flip side of hypo-sociality (lots of alienated individuals interacting virtually without any real community).

This is the kind of theatrical acting that is now called "over the top". But the alternative - naturalistic mumbling - drains the life out of every drama.

Can you imagine Stanley Kubrick reviewing this Viking ship, these suits of plate armour, these Trojan costumes and this display of archery, then saying, “Good enough, let’s go with it”? Below: Taschen’s Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon, 832 pages of research for a film he never made.
