well yeah radfems suck in comparison because 1) they don’t have any of the theoretical strengths of incels 2) their subculture is no fun and doesn’t make goofy words that are fun 3) they’re women /j

idk radfems are just not politically enlightening to me because they’re trying to do feminism but they suck at it. right wingers can be a lot more unintentionally generative when embracing the worst aspects of society with open arms

well yeah if you don’t zoom out like all the way it’s obviously a) really dumb and b) warmed over conservatism (albeit more consistent and applied). i choose to focus on particular features myopically because i think their strong points philosophically are basically nonexistent nowadays

no i’ve seen yours 😉😌🤭

eh i think it was a fine objection mostly. like they’re significant to humans, but the whole point i was trying to make is that people are unable to care about the human things. at best they’re relegated to “free time” and mostly insignificant to the primary determinants of contemporary life.

maybe you’re waiting, i’m speedrunning

oh yeah? when’s the last time i had sex with my wife? checkmate

one of the many reasons i think incels are politically salient and admirable is their utopianism. it is utopian to imagine a world in which amorous relationships are the most pressing political issue, and one that you would commit atrocities over.

that is not to say, of course, that relationships aren’t politically significant. it’s just such a relatively non-instrumental domain, it’s rather out of place next to its peers.

also all of the above is actually untrue when not willfully decontextualing, obvious extensions of patriarchy and instrumental domination run through the core of incel politics. nevertheless i think the decontextualized exaggeration captures something notable and worthwhile.

in conclusion,

yea but how tf you make a clip a youtu.be link

i love vod reviews

grrrr clip embeds

that’s a good use :) i just have uYouPlus and SoundCloud without ads. i’ve considered twitter without ads in the past but i don’t use that wretched place much

whatcha got with altstore

this reminds me i made a stupidly overeningeeted mpv screenshot script when i was first getting into coding lol

“overeningeeted” bruh are you ok

i have a positive follower ratio i must fix this

btw this is the type of shit i have to do streamable.com/bn8us4

i remember this from when kasey and i would send voice memos back and forth lol. not really too big a fan of their native voice message feature either

makes sense that the articles were on such disparate topics then 😅 95% is horrifying

a lot of these are really surprising! did you have a project you were working on to gather these, or just browsing?

i slept for 10 hours and i could sleep for 10 more

my bad

1, i am so ugly 2. do you use your phone browser for bsky instead of the app

blegh

lol

profilicity

how'd you get banned 😭

hidden where 😳

bad boring game i think

rooting for u king

well to be transparent the sense of continuity i have in mind is a lot more abstract, something akin to “the mood this person captured in this time period of their life”, to use a creator-centric example

of course we can decontextualize and recontextualize from there, but it feels like we’re striving for sonic fungibility before we can even begin

often, the artist completes a chaptered novel and then tells the audience to start at chapter 4. even if a collection is not chaptered in the traditional sense, the pieces hang together; the common thread is disrupted. track ordering is a significant artistic choice and is undermined.

i’m not a kantian it’s not like i think it’s categorically inappropriate, i just think the vast majority of its uses (and the original motivation for the creation of the feature) are highly disreputable

not gonna block you because you engaged substantially. i actually agree with parts of what you’re saying, but i think there’s a misunderstanding in what i meant. “isn’t that why they are artists? and why they can become artists?” yes!! precisely!

if they were discussing theoretical concerns all the time, it would be prohibitively difficult to create, and would paralyze them. it’s not a criticism that they don’t know ‘it’ (the ‘it’ in question being achieving art in its highest form!).

frequently it’s perfectly fine not to have a theoretical understanding, although it can lead the artist to do things counter to their own interest without them realizing it, which was my point.

i’m not saying they should be like me, i’m expressing frustration and mourning the loss of artists getting in their own way unintentionally. i don’t criticize because i think i am better, i criticize because i think they are doing something of vital significance that i have a lot of respect for.

i’m not bringing arbitrary criteria to bear on the art itself, expounding a regimented theory of what makes ‘good’ art. i’m saying the only criteria art in the true sense can have is criteria that creates itself.

sometimes however, the person that is a vector for the creation of the piece prevents it from doing so, in accordance with their own short term interests. that is disappointing to me, particularly because the sediment that is created today is the foundation for future art.

my message is not a categorical imperative, it is a reminder to be wary of the cultural conditions you find yourself in, and not to be led astray in the service of a goal that causes your art to suffer.

speaking more specifically about the original context

people have this interesting reaction to any normative imposition in certain domains, and it's particularly evident in aesthetics. it's interpreted as limitation, to which the obvious recourse is to reject the artificial closure of potential, and maintain the autonomy of art.

and the rejoinder is, of course, that it is precisely the autonomy of art that is threatened by the present state of things. credulously bowing down at the throne of instrumental reason is not the realm of freedom you think it is.

legit have no patience for the choice feminism of aesthetics srry
