just came back quickly to see what shenanigans is @jonathanbfine.bsky.social up to in here... and he did not disappoint...
fascism is fun cause it is not and people are dying and society is collapsing and we have to fight for our lives and the lives of others until we die
phallogocentrism is dead, phallostultitiacentrism reigns
John Wayne was a (draft dodging) fake, Trump is a fraud (and draft dodger), Hegseth is a sad tv puppet who can't even do a pull up right... if Americans recognized real courage and bravery they would all love @ilhanmn.bsky.social
as bleak as things are, I gotta say I am damned proud of all the Americans on the streets, prostesting, feeding and helping minorities, yelling at and fighting against nazis, and just generally caring about the other.... it warms my cold dry heart...
ok, everybody, if you know of a maga, libertarian, or any of those "there's two sides" guys, grab 'em and make them watch Haneke's The White Ribbon on a loop Alex in the Clockwork Orange style until they get it...
can you imagine if Americans listened to historians, sociologists, philosophers, and all types of experts instead of B celebrities, opportunistic pundits, and “influencers”? woah… bruh
youtu.be/KG-pL7aZoeY?... while it has a silly title, this episode of Matt Bernstein’s podcast with former MAGA figure Ashley St. Clair is really good to understand the grifting and completely immoral ideology of the MAGA movement.

“I do not know how to rid the world of evil, or whether one is simply supposed to endure it. But you are there and are having an effect, and the poems have an effect of their own and help to protect you—that is the answer and a counterbalance in this world.” — Ingeborg Bachmann to Paul Celan, 1958
I think this admin should build statues of DT, gigantic ones, everywhere… It will give us something fun to do when this is over
best cover for a Lacan seminar ever bon travail, Seuil!
Obama's and the dems full on STEM only, technical, career focused education helped to this mess, and I still have to see any of them proposing a strong humanities education as a defense against undemocratic ideologies and ignorance...

Aleksandra Waliszewska is my shepherd I will lack nothing
omg, is twitter finally dead, you guys? are we free?!!
since we are all going back in time, I’m just embracing my anarchist look
waiting for American high schools and universities to acknowledge that they failed in teaching about fascism and authoritarianism and that they have a plan to address this pressing issue...
