aw 😭

if you take domain-specificity seriously, that has pretty significant implications for sydney as my first romantic experience

i need to remember that rumination is concomitant with anxious urgency for care

always a lil awkward when ur slightly imprecise

regale me with your stories, i like you

this but unironically

disillusion?? i was using that??

i’m still thinking abt epistemology from yesterday

time for sleep

i’m continually impressed by those around me who live with the confidence of deflationary theories of meaning, and frankly i’m continually anxious in their presence for my inability to do the same

that boy is a turgid mess

that boy is a turgid mess

floral green is nice

hm i think im becoming more sensitive to scenarios where i have all the meaning there is and yet i still attempt hopelessly to wring more out

ngl this guy kinda popped into existence one day and then engagement farmed but in a weird “replying to everything with my actual opinion and it’s relatively respectable by academic philosophy standards”

they made a graph to upset me

they made a graph to upset me

also sorry em for the asymmetry of replying directly to u when you only subskeet, don’t mean to be a gnat

i really like the contrastive storytelling implied by the screenshot being dark mode

“why are you using dim theme?”

yknow what i’ll allow it

type 2 fun

it's funny to describe it as "satisfying" when it's most directly experienced as "ugh, of course you'd cite him"

its honestly fairly satisfying to read a work within a relatively small/tight knit literature, so you know all the references that are made

With all this, actionism acquiesces to the trend it intends or pretends to struggle against: the bourgeois instrumentalism that fetishizes means because its form of praxis cannot suffer reflection upon its ends

adorno critical models: interventions and catchwords

Actionism is regressive. Under the spell of the positivity that long ago became part of the armature of ego-weakness, it refuses to reflect upon its own impotence. Those who incessantly cry “too abstract!” strenuously cultivate concretism, an immediacy that is inferior to the available theoretical means. The pseudo-praxis profits from this. Those who are especially shrewd say—just as summarily as they judge art—that theory is repressive; and which activity in the midst of the status quo is not so, in its way? But immediate action, which always evokes taking a swing, is incomparably closer to oppression than the thought that catches its breath. The Archimedian point—how might a nonrepressive praxis be possible, how might one steer between the alternatives of spontaneity and organization—this point, if it exists at all, cannot be found other than through theory. If the concept is tossed aside, then traits, such as a unilateral solidarity degenerating into terror, will become manifest

there is such a thing as "relationship actionism"

genuinely this is severely sad

i very much dislike when one definition is given to a specific category to the neglect of its alternative meanings and applications

sometimes ppls writing gives early liberal vibes, in the sense of "random observations"

i really love kasey and it makes me happy when people treat her softly with kindness

yknow how david graeber talks about seasonal political structures that flexibly alternate between more authoritarian and more horizontal modes? my attractiveness and presentability are kind of like that, except the seasons are going out and doing gay shit instead of harvest time or w/e

yknow that section in the german ideology that's like "hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner"? i'm like that but "anarchist when reading a marxist, nietzschean when reading an anarchist, feminist when i'm reading a nietzschean..."

im having a great time btw but i do hope its over soon

this is what every anarchist book sounds like

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭bertrand😭russel😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"its true that these are vital individual and political goods, but uhhh inequality is unfair and it's harder for poor people to do things so its oppressive to expect they could possibly be up to the task" you'd be so much happier as a social democrat, deport some immigrants while you're at it

SMOL BEAN FASCISM IS EVERYWHERE

SMOL BEAN FASCISM IS EVERYWHERE

one thing you can say about christians at least from a fuerbachean-marxist standpoint is that at least they were able to construct and projectively identify with a more powerful being that could imaginatively achieve things. the secularized acquiescence is all the more flacid by comparison

slave morality bullshit dude, you suck

im gonna crash out we've completely lost the plot and given up

there is no such thing as "relationship activism"
