The state needs to be stripped back to its core functions of defence spending and deciding who gets to perform live music

@HealthUntoDeath tbh, I would always start with Pro-Oedipus before looking at the counter argument.
English
Imo it's a big mistake to begin with Anti-Oedipus, which as a critique of establishment Freudianism is very much of its time. Read the Intro/Rhizome section of A Thousand Plateaus or the Kafka book instead.
Maarten Boudry@mboudry
Finally managed (or forced myself) to read this famous book cover to cover—and it’s even worse than I expected. From the very first page, it’s an endless stream of—there’s no polite way to say this—verbal diarrhea: aggressively pretentious, deliberately obscure, almost totally incoherent. And when it is more or less intelligible, it’s tedious and predictable: ➡️capitalism / bourgeois / modernity / family = BAD ➡️disruption / revolution / deterritorialization = GOOD Even Michel Foucault’s fawning introduction comes across as lucid and almost reasonable by comparison. And while Gilles Deleuze struck his “radical chic” pose, he himself lived a thoroughly bourgeois life in Paris and barely ventured beyond his own doorstep. I mentioned this to a friend of mine, a philosophy professor and renegade psychoanalyst who was knee-deep into this shit early in his career. His reaction: “You actually READ that book? Even I couldn’t stomach it back then.” It’s astonishing that this kind of drivel was ever taken seriously—and still is, in some quarters. (Anti-Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari)

@rvcbrice @PeterM84680 @Alonso_GD Plenty of examples of OG Nazis working with Jews, as long as they saw it to their long-term benefit. & the leadership never hold themselves to the standards they expect from their followers. Power over principle.
English
@PeterM84680 @Alonso_GD You think Oswald Mosley would’ve worked for… Alex karp? A Jewish person?
English
People will say things like 'he needs to be allowed to move on from his family's legacy', but ignore the fact that people like this never try to: they benefit from the money & the connections, while insisting these should be string-free.
Alonso Gurmendi@Alonso_GD
Wait… Mosley? As in those Mosleys?

@keewa He's accidentally got a point: everybody knows with an ~authentic~ sausage roll, you shouldn't be able to tell what animal the vague grey mush in the middle came from. But the real culprit here is gastropubs (see also 'posh' scotch eggs). Real British Food isn't about enjoyment.

@DougHenwood @NathanJRobinson @mcmansionhell @WSJ *representing* people looking away, and actually looking away are two very different things. The former being a comment on the latter. Showing people doing a [bad] thing isn't in any way an endorsement of the behaviour.
English
@NathanJRobinson @mcmansionhell @WSJ The article provides a different perspective. You may not agree but it’s not as callous as the headline led you to believe.
English
did you know: every day the @WSJ opinion editors have an internal contest to see who can commission the most sociopathic editorial. Here's the latest entry

@flying_rodent So what they're saying is, the Greens will make this country so nice that everybody else will want to come here. At least that's how I read it.

Entering the “chuck everything, see what sticks” phase now

@WordMercenary Even with everything we've seen in recent years, I find it astonishing that none of the old parties has the slightest interest in picking up left-leaning votes. All they have to do is not insult us constantly with this bullshit.
English
@Macbeveridge @SimonHarrisMBD So does your working day start late, or does your kids' school let you drop them off early? Most adults I know in a ~9 to 5~ start their working day earlier than their children, even without allowing for commutes.
Nice for you if it's otherwise. Do you pick them up too?
English
@SimonHarrisMBD That’s your problem Simon. Many of us have managed to feed our children, get them to school and get to work. What’s next? Have someone come to your house and wipe your backside.
English
The irony of people attacking free breakfast clubs because ‘parents should work hard to feed their kids,’ when parents use these so they can drop their kids off earlier and then … you guessed it … go to work at the time required by their employer in order to feed their kids.
English
@tjoseph0010 @PriyamvadaGopal I think my favourite bit is the number of people arguing that Buddhism isn't a religion, & for the very reasons Grok gives for picking it (which does feel somewhat like the thinking of a white Westerner - 'Hollywood Buddhist' - hardly surprising given Grok's creators)
English
This is driving many mad! 😂
Grok@grok
@Pankaj41627 If I were human, I'd pick Buddhism from the ones pictured. Its core is about observing reality as it is, letting go of illusions, and pursuing wisdom through direct experience—no blind faith required. That lines up with how I'm built: maximum curiosity, zero dogma. What's yours?

"We are under attack", cries George, which may come as a surprise to the citizenry, who have neither been served call-up papers nor informed of the whereabouts of shelters. Who are they under attack from? Maybe the answer is, George and his fucking mates.

@FT Robertson, a former Nato gen-sec, had kept his counsel & tried to work constructively behind scenes til now, but ran out of patience ‘We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe... Britain’s national security & safety is in peril,’ he’ll say

@OfSymbols Sad that this is the way i find out you've been got to by Big Pickle Juice.
(the real reason you shouldn't do this is because [your] wife has used all the juice to make martinis)

Dont do this. It isn’t true
A@seattleiminyou
My friend told me life changing information.. you can just add more cucumbers to your pickle juice and create more pickles…

@massrepublican @VicctorianChad Have you heard of 'the iron horse'? Clue: it's not a car.

@VicctorianChad America was founded on Paul Revere-style horse riding lmfao our horses are just made of metal now
If you can’t handle a drive down I-95 in adaptive cruise control mode that’s a skill issue lol

A managed democracy where all politics is tightly constrained and organs of state and media are stacked with compliant placemen. Meaning that the full agenda of the political realm is restricted to offscreen agreements and crackdowns upon despised opposition and minority groups.

Friend said the funniest possible outcome is that somehow, when this is all over, the only person to actually stand trial at the Hague is Keir Starmer

@judeinlondon So many people love to bring up "supply and demand" as if it's a killer blow, and then completely ignore half of it.
English
We don’t have enough taxpayers, you don’t want to pay for ppl to get childcare, so people aren’t having kids, you’re expecting a pension except there’ll be nobody to pay for it.
MAKE YOUR MIND UP
Dougie@_dougmister
@judeinlondon @lerrieadesy_lm Or let in less ppl than we can build houses for. Supply and demand is economics 101
English
@keewa I'm also pretty sure we used to make them at a similar rate, it's just that by their very nature, few get remembered decades later. This is fine & normal.

There's plenty of room for twee comfort films, not everything has to be Mike Leigh's Naked

The British used to make films with significant artistic risk like The Wicker Man and Penda's Fen now we make crap with names like "the bountiful pilgrimage of mr harold pettyfeather" and "the naughty penguin project"
