after my morning meeting i’m gonna make a mini thread exchange about this. one under appreciated aspect of microblogging is separate posts as manifestations of determinate moments in the dialectic. easy to see how they might be excessively discrete but tbh that’s much smaller than what’s solved
idk i'm just slightly lonely and i understand this is largely self-imposed but it's also for non-arbitrary reasons that wouldn't be resolved by retreading old ground
this is also what i mean when i say the left is too nominalist, they often portray themselves as emphasizing mediation ("everything is socially constructed!") but in fact at every turn they use that understanding as a retreat to nihilistic immediacy
so frightened to even think about a concept or entertain it for a moment without its immediate denouncement, as any analysis might lead to the uncomfortability of an exclusionary moment
