“you’re not a fan of adorno and nietzsche, you just need a hug bro” ⋆｡°✩ a quote thread ⋆｡°✩

1/ To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities - I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished:

I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not - that one endures. -N

2/ Sociability itself is a participant in injustice, insofar as it pretends we can still talk with each other in a frozen world, and the flippant, chummy word contributes to the perpetuation of silence, insofar as the concessions to those being addressed debase the latter once more as speakers.

By adapting to the weaknesses of the oppressed, one confirms in such weaknesses the prerequisite of domination, and develops in oneself the measure of barbarity, thickheadedness and capacity to inflict violence required to exercise domination. For intellectuals, unswerving isolation is the only form

in which they can vouchsafe a measure of solidarity. All of the playing along, all of the humanity of interaction and participation is the mere mask of the tacit acceptance of inhumanity.

One should be united with the suffering of human beings: the smallest step to their joys is one towards the hardening of suffering. -A

3/ You want, if possible—and there is no more fantastic “if possible”—to do away with suffering. What about us? It does seem that we would prefer it to be even higher and worse than it ever was! Well being, the way you understand it—that is no goal.

To us that looks like an end, a condition which immediately makes human beings laughable and contemptible—something which makes their destruction desirable! The discipline of suffering, of great suffering—don’t you realize that up to this point it is only this suffering which has created every

enhancement in man up to now? That tension of a soul in misery which develops its strength, its trembling when confronted with great destruction, its inventiveness and courage in bearing, holding out against, interpreting, and using unhappiness, and whatever has been

conferred upon it by way of profundity, secrecy, masks, spirit, cunning, and greatness—has that not been given to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering? -N

4/ I have an image of objective happiness and objective despair, and I would say that for as long as people are unencumbered as they are now, and are not expected to take on full responsibility and full self-determination,

then for just as long their welfare and happiness in this world will be an illusion. And it will be an illusion that will one day burst. And when it bursts it will have dreadful consequences. -A

5/ Interestingly, I am a critic of relief while you are a proponent of relief: the distress that drives people to seek out such forms of relief is precisely the distress that is put on them by the institutions – that is,

from the arrangement of the world that is alien to them and omnipotent over them. And that seems to me to be an ur-phenomenon of anthropology today, that people flee precisely to the power that is causing them the harm they are suffering from. -A

we need more videos titled like this

It is still possible to make one’s way in entertainment, if one is not too obstinate about one’s own concerns, and proves appropriately pliable. Anyone who resists can only survive by fitting in. Once his particular brand of deviation from the norm has been noted by the industry, he belongs to it as

does the land-reformer to capitalism. Realistic dissidence is the trademark of anyone who has a new idea in business. In the public voice of modern society accusations are seldom audible; if they are, the perceptive can already detect signs that the dissident will soon be reconciled.

ok but have you considered how much of a banger the culture industry chapter would be if there was a section on tiktok

Kill the Electoralist (Misogynist) In Your Head

i’m sorry bloomfies but there’s a distinct lack of theorycel posting here that twitter still has a monopoly on

verdict on bmth’s kool aid: - chorus sucks - verse 2, bridge, and breakdown have vocally solid moments from oli - instruments are really uninspiring throughout, excessively clinical and playing it safe - we already did the doom inspired thing on post human, like it’s fine but not that interesting

- i don’t understand the praise for the guitar solo at all (two tiddlywinks of cum, and mid cum at that) - the chanting and extra bits thrown in around the breakdown are just distracting and frankly dull and boring

overall a better direction for them but i don’t have confidence they’ll deliver with the rest of the album either. i understand it’s not for me anymore and that’s okay
