Miss Gayle"Capitalism...is the economic manifestation of the Windigo mentality. Like a malignant process...it must keep expanding or collapse. It cannot recognize enough. Every gain becomes a platform for further gain...Every frontier, whether a rainforest, a public institution, or even the human nervous system, becomes a new zone for enclosure & monetization."

A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world
"Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "
" “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

KilleansRow 🇺🇲 🇺🇦🍀We’ll keep trying to go for some timely comedic takes in these dark dark domestic times. I will say it’s heartening to know most of the rest of #WesternCivilization is looking at what’s happening here ,putting down the cheese and crackers… and heading for the door. No thanks seems to be the message. They’re gonna keep #Democracy going in the #EU even if the lights go out here. That is the most heartening thing to have seen in recent weeks. Also that #BillyCobham #TimeMachine video. Fresh air

If the only democracy in the #MiddleEast, the shining beacon of modernity and #WesternCivilization among an ocean of barbarians can kill 242 journalists, why can't #SaudiArabia kill one?
