It is commonly believed that the KGB repeatedly buried and exhumated remains of Hitler until 1970 when they finally got rid of it completely. Fascinating stuff
Interesting AF@interesting_aIl
81 years ago, Adolf Hitler took his life in a bunker in Berlin

the politics of dead body of the leader is very interesting from H*tler to Mussolini, Lumumba, Saddam Hussein and of course, Lenin. Wonder if there is a comprehensive body of work on the topic

2011 called…. btw does anyone have this translation? We should say our goodbyes to Toni Negri properly
Katya@kateryna30363
Today’s book recommendation: Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri — Commonwealth
English
a book that i have not encountered anywhere else on twitter - marchart is very lucid: something we are missing most of the time
Daniel Tutt@TuttReal
Félix Guattari, who, together with Gilles Deleuze, is possibly the main philosopher of micro-politics, presumed to claim that even a two-year-old child participated in practices of resistance. Describing a toddler’s behaviour with the term ‘micropolitics.’ 😬 - Oliver Marchart

@nancypelosilovr you are right, though completing a phd well into your mid-thirties is a huge commitment with a risk of no future employment in sight. my argument was about a phd, not about being a reader of philosophy
English
these is extremely true but I can’t get over the fact that the argument used is “borderline unemployable” Like genuinely Who the fuck develops an interest in reading Philosophy for employment reasons. I got into it because of my lovecraftian desire for sinister esoteric knowledge

anglophone political philosophy twitter is surreal. Nobody reads or cares about Land in academia. A PhD on Deleuze is borderline unemployable
English
@iycrtylph have you heard of this story? interesting to see what the early bolsheviks thought about death and mortality x.com/eschaton99/sta…

@eschaton99 On whom can one write a PhD in political philosophy and be in any way “employable?”

“I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions”

“Wemby’s too emotional.” “Wemby should stop crying.” “Wemby’s gay.” Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general? I asked Wemby about why that is. Here’s his response: “That’s a tough question. I think it’s first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.”

@OyDuman In one of the latest translations of Sorokin, those archaic Russian words were also translated to some kind of Medieval English and it was distracting. İ don’t know if it would have been better to keep the Original Russian words and put an asterisk on it at the bottom of the page
English
@eschaton99 One of the reasons I liked is because it forced me to look up some archaic Russian words that I never knew. The cadence and tone felt like reading something quite old, but it wasn't.
English
this is why I go back to reading Sorokin (even though I don’t particularly enjoy reading him), he is the quintessential author of the post-Soviet decadency
Fëanor界王@Bento_1942
Modern Russia seems so much like a decadent rupture compared to the USSR. It followed of continuous progresse, from semi-Tatar origins to a centralized Empire, then to a socialist experiment that first sent men into space. All that just to end in Duginist Orthodox bullshit
English
@iycrtylph there is a possiblity of 20 to 28 hours of work a week to be able to continue having a decent life organised around community which is not a 50 hour work week. somebody has to clean, cook, do laundry, take care of chidren etc. imo, free time might be the biggest communist goal
English
this is what the end of "grand narratives" in postmodernity actually looks like in practice, not "moral relativism" or "loss of belief" or whatever. 8 billion individuals trying to discern a map of the totality without even realizing others are also experiencing the same thing

It must be sick to just come up with stupid stuff and immediately believe it. Imagine having such authorship over your own reality. I am in awe of her brain.

hyperrationalist red button crowd is suffering heavily under some version of Dunning-Kruger effect (i.e. thinking they are super intelligent or something which obviously they are not)
Nick@WokeFDR
Red button pushers seem very invested in viewing themselves as intelligent.
