Resist enforced mediocrity. Underground conference, late June, NYC, all submissions welcome.

"Pessimism about America expresses pessimism about socialism. It is pessimism about freedom." @ccutrone1970

"But while the cities become gentrified centers of a trust fund overclass, rural America is ever more entrenched in the “high tech, low life” character of cyberpunk futures."

"The state does not simply tolerate free speech — it carefully cultivates the conditions under which it functions." @99zueins

“…the ‘Bolivarian process’ despite all the drama and legitimately fascinating and significant social experiments…was never anymore “revolutionary” than Mamdani’s mayorship of NYC (or for those with memories longer then a Ticktock reel-Lumumba’s mayorship of Jackson).”

My further response in summation to @BMStudebaker on Marxism and philosophy! @SublationMedia sublationmag.com/post/objectiva…

"the slogan of 'fully automated luxury gay space communism' is instructive in this respect. It demands not the use of technique for the manifestation of spirit but the complete triumph of technique over spirit. . ."

"To overcome legal cynicism, there is a need to defend and uphold the original revolutionary and natural function of the law, which is the only way to disarm our opponents of their own legal cynicism."

“Instead, socialism was conflated with its historical opponent: a conflation that Mamdani’s campaign and its left-wing cheerleaders continue today.”

"Pirates are not principally a moral problem. They are what happens when the state trains people to do a thing and then declines to hire them to do that thing." - @BMStudebaker

Patrick continued that “you need to be critical towards that elite class so that you can improve the social organization of your country. And so,” he expressed, “that is sort of what the New Right is becoming.” @NikosMohammadi

Should you vote thumbs up on celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, or thumbs down? @DougLain

"They do not see themselves as working class, because no one says they are. America says nothing about them, because they, their families, and the community colleges they attend are invisible."

"So, you know, let the kids have their AI; what’s already there. Distributed consciousness classrooms. Boilers and flat roofs. More to the point, let the teachers use AI . . . Let Claude, happy-go-lucky engine of reification, go to school"

Why did Chicago's most powerful union and the "Left" support the most punitive school COVID policy in America?

"If, under American law, Mangione could be deemed not guilty because he killed a man who led an organization that, in the opinion of many, was unduly exploiting society, who would not live in fear of being killed?"

"Protect your time. Protect your mind. Protect your spirit. Don’t throw yourself into a machine that survives by wearing people out. You don’t owe that to anyone — not even "the working class," if such a thing still exists in coherent form."

"The culture now favors… the MAGA-esque. That necessitates a sort of MAGA Leftism… and to appear genuine, to be articulated by an anti-Trumper progressive like Mamdani."

"As I found when activists tried to redefine “racism,” while much of their target audience went along with it unaware of the bait-and-switch, many went the other way and became racists. This was an entirely predictable result." @JosephJakeKlein @wtblacksheep
