i dislike consumerism because it reminds me that commodities exist

honestly im not even sure what to say to that one chief

it's hard to know what exactly is fair game to critique in what way because he's explicitly talking about like the fanbase of philosophers and even then he's like "well it could be used for this" and i kinda just have to scratch my head like yea wow

any argument i make about the texts or about the direct point in question is irrelevant, in the terms of the preamble he set out for himself. so ig ill just say wow if people are slinging a notoriously subtle word to translate around with abuse that's real cringe my guy

we namedropped schismogenesis ! zomg graeber mentioned !

also can i take a moment to just revisit, like in a lot of this we're calling out specific guys and quotedunking and calling out embarrassing personal views they held but like, imagine if someone did this with Scientists. yeah man people are just cringe sometimes lmao, even influential people

i get that its not that simple and in a milieu thats still emerging and is greatly influenced by these individuals it has more import. but like you can do that with anything nascent, and if you were to look at even the history of anarchism, you would take pride in the fact that you rejected

the quackery of its significant early individuals and culture

anyway thats chapter 1 i think im gonna try to actually sleep now

one more thought before i go, i know he discusses like The Left having wacky ideas and stuff, but this is distanced from anarchists. like look at the passage below:

"Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, the anarchist mainstream remained committed to frameworks deeply at odds with... antirealist legitimizers. One prominent anarchist journal at the time even titled itself Reality Now!"

"pretty much all the leading figures of the anarchist movement openly despised postmodernism, and those involved in daily projects or struggles simply ignored it. But its influence grew so vast in U.S. subcultural scenes as to become an unavoidable part of the Left."

like come on dude we're just no-true-scottsman-ing forever, the anarchist mainstream can do no wrong

this is why you get accused of humanism, and why you would better off not neglecting adorno when he sneers at the proletariat

idk lowkey maybe i can see the "anarchist mainstream" being immune to the occultism critique or whatever else if we would nail down what we're talking about. like IWW style guys or just adherents to classical anarchist writers then yea alright ig, but we're being pretty unclear

i'm not trying to do the thing where i'm committed to the view that "nuh uh you did the exact same thing", because my point is that even if you carve out a lineage that doesn't fall prey to one type of error, it doesn't mean they didn't have issues either, and potentially even some issues that

those associated with the quacks were hinting in the right direction on. idk we still haven't really covered much ground yet, still setting the stage, so i'm still witholding full judgement. i just dont like the direction we're headed and the implied positions / rhetorical moves thus far
