Staring at the Sun

@heshidicjudaism Obv bait

@moonbeeaam “Capitalism will consume itself not to metamorphose into something better but to annihilate the world and thus its own conditions for existing”

Now this sentence from Mark Fisher is one that I did find genuinely baffling

@cyrnosofia 1)*Panentheism per Scholem. 2) Ein Sof and the later notion of God’s “Din” preserve a distance between God as such and his manifestation (which is not necessarily his substantial being) in the world. 3) This also implies that Eriugena wasn’t Christian for teaching much the same.

El Dios Judío en Sistemas como Ein Sof o en el Hasidismo, si que se trata de un Dios diferente al del cristianismo, ya que posee una inemanncia radical, que va desde el Panteísmo a la univocidad total. El Dios Cristiano es la síntesis perfecta de la unicidad con la multiplicidad

@hecubian_devil He said "normal people" not 'people I like'. And please look up 'anachronistic'.

This is deeply anachronistic. The most anti-oligarch, socialism-adjacent group of normies you’ll meet are the petty-booj IPA-drinking libs. Those white people in trailer parks think Elon is the greatest business man in the history of the world, and he deserves even more money

@constantinvonh Or it’s because Leia is a mother-figure to the Ewoks, who were written and designed to be children-aliens.

"On the forest moon Endor, when Leia meets the Ewoks, she does not treat them as tools or burdens. She greets them with calm and respect, and through her presence they accept the Rebels as kin. This act shows tradition as Guénon understood it: a principle that binds across forms, carried in the soul and recognized in gesture and spirit. Authority here flows not from command but from harmony with what is higher and unseen. Guénon taught that tradition survives even when its outward forms are broken, and Leia is its bearer in the galaxy: she holds within herself the link between the visible struggle and the invisible order that gives it meaning." — Constantin von Hoffmeister, MULTIPOLAR GALAXY: Star Wars as a Myth of Civilizational Rebirth Order the book now (link below).👇

@alooflogos Academic covers are usually lazy so I’m not shocked

@InfraHaz Actually insane to conflate Gnosticism with Neoplatonism, especially considering Plotinus wrote an entire treatise to attack the Gnostic hatred of the physical world. The later Neoplatonist metaphysical scheme even verges on pantheism.

MARXIST ESOTERICA (DARK 马列): OCCULT MEANING OF THE RED STAR The Slavic folktale of Pravda and Krivda, paralleling Zoroastrian dualist cosmology: Pravda once radiated self-evident truth, a bright glowing star on her forehead. The deceiver, Krivda, stole the star from Pravda. This marked the end of reality as self-evident truth, beginning of the reality of lies & alienation. Similar to the Gnostic/neoplatonist view that we live in a world of deception and false appearances. The 'radiance' of truth is stolen by the LIE, so what APPEARS is no longer immediately TRUE. Appearance and essence no longer coincide self-evidently. But Pravda, as essence, remains. The story follows by the star returning to Pravda, out of the clutches of trickster Krivda. The Red Star expresses the liminality of solar radiance - at both dusk & dawn (where it appears red). It expresses how the 'star' of appearance can be separated from the world (at both dusk/dawn) of essences. This expresses a level of richness, 'relative autonomy,' and clarity, mirroring the historical soul of man (what Abrahamic religion calls 'free will'). In contrast to the static and unyielding Platonic sun. It signifies the distinction of appearance and essence (or theory and practice!), and simultaneously, the cosmic restoration of their harmony. This is acheived via dialectical materialism & scientific socialism. The red star is often interpreted as a new planetary body, alien from our own sun, a foreign sun. But this is a reflection of our alienation from the Platonic 'sun.' The red star symbolizes the Marxist story of alienation, history as class struggle, and harmonious resolution in Communism. By contrast, the Nazi 'black sun' denies the historical soul of man: Coping with the distinction of appearence/essence by creating the idolatrous myth of an appearence self-evidently united with essence that we just can't itself see. The obvious absurdity is that it is still a phenomenological object, not a true essence. This substitutes the dialectic of struggle for an idle guarantee unjustified by any work or practice. "Trust me bro, theres a black sun, don't worry about our sun being false, the True One is underground." The Marxist, by contrast, asserts that THIS is our reality, and it is inescapable. There is no hyperborea, agartha, pure racial essence, etc. - there is ONLY an infintesimal NOW of revolutionary struggle - guided and illuminated by the red star in the sky. There is only the NOW of a specific event and order of battle - a specific situation, historical predicament, and existential struggle where everything is at stake. No refuge in any metaphysical world, idea, etc. - only the clarity, sobriety, of the now. The Epstein files reveal precisely this 'specific event' we live in, where battle lines, the distinction of oppressed and oppressor is clear. The red star now looms over America, and the next chapter of revolutionary struggle begins.

@cappadocianisms Panentheism pace Scholem?

“God and the world are not-one, but neither are they two. They are not-two.”

@Fistocrat @Jdjdndhdkdbidmd “Accidentally”

@Jdjdndhdkdbidmd is that the one that's on the brink of accidentally reinventing Italian fascism from first principles by trying to do nationalist communism?

@suchnerve Meditation and meditative walks in nature

I’m not saying you’re definitely autistic if you catch yourself wishing you could hit the pause button on being a person and just exist as an inanimate object for awhile, but it’s definitely a tick in the “More likely” column…

@LLADYOFSORROWSS Interpellation. Christianity and western Christian society teaches western subjects to desire Jesus as telos, with a desire that exceeds ordinary desire. What you feel is cultural memory, not divine intuition.

if this a safe space, i want to admit that i am attracted to Jesus, but not romantically, platonically or sexually, but instead a secret 4th thing bc i look at all images of Him with a very specific sense of yearning and desire that only a select few will understand.

@coronabeths Lightning powers

hello comic book fan. before you stands a female character and directly above you hangs an anvil. your test is to describe her without bringing up her appearance, her relationship with a man, or using the words ‘girlboss’ or ‘queen’ at any point or the anvil will drop. good luck.

@Gattungswesen25 The conflation of far-left ideology and anarchist-lite lib culture. For them, small business is to a large corporation as punk-DIY culture is to a large record label.

@Crowversies I would add Scott McCloud, Charles Forsman, and Morrison’s other famous works (Invisibles, Doom Patrol, Animal Man). All of which are still amazing but definitely the sort of thing someone would flaunt. “I’m not like other nerds”, that sort of thing.

My take. Sandman would be on here if it was 2023

🇨🇳 I am in BEIJING, CHINA where I was invited to give a speech as the voice of a new generation in America by Renmin University at the Mingde Strategic Dialogue 2025! LONG LIVE the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China!

@12345jed54321 Hell, by the time Julian the Apostate resurrected animal sacrifice it had been out of practice for so long that the general public was mortified. Polytheism had already been resembling something recognizably Medieval 100-300 years before then.

@12345jed54321 He’s honestly kind of right. Middle platonism and the religious movements that aped it (Gnosticism, hermeticism, mystery cults, and even early Christianity) alienated ancient religion far from what we tend to think of as ‘paganism’.

@OGBlackRedGuard It was at least nice to see alot of people discontent w/ the state of things. But then I remember they’re only doing it to feel like Good Fucking People™️ or whatever. When the next dem appeasement buffer takes over those same people will regress from uselessness to mindlessness.

@OGBlackRedGuard Friend invited me today and I had no excuse to back out so there I went. Inflatable costumes, memes on signs, singalongs, TikTok dances during a flaccid “let’s get organized :D” speech. Left feeling sweaty & cynical.

I went to the first one and them mfs were up in there selling beer lmao. A spectacle and a farce, nothing more.

@Arcs_Arts @chryco4 @esjesjesj God of War 2 is one of Jacob Geller’s favorite games btw

@chryco4 @esjesjesj Its not a violent leftist game. The point being made is whats ABSENT from those games. These are misogynist friendly games. Whereas left/lib men will typically deconstruct their misogyny, and you'll see more games with feminine art styles/genres/and protagonists in their library.

Games don’t make you violent but these are not left wing games lmao
