My leftist journey, apparently:

Red Alert 2 > "I wonder if there are books about these guys?" > teenage leninist > sorta awkwardly centrist/socdem early 20s > reading additional books > anarcho, but with good taste in uniforms.

Pro trans propaganda or, as it could also be referred to, facts.

Thinking about the crossover potential here... Hillary, RBG, the protagonist of Raw (2016), Freud’s mother... all coming together like the avengers

The idea of death runs so counter to the capitalist idea of endless consumption, constant attempts to maintain some extremely brief window of time when you feel in line with society (which by design always comes up short), that it absolutely must attempt to exorcise the specter of death. To admit death is to admit that there is some force greater than the market, something which consumption cannot solve.

Never in western culture has mourning been stigmatised, or grief been pathologised, like they currently are today. Sovereignty is asserted through killing, but this is no longer carried out as a spectacle. Instead, death is occluded. People who should be killed have been replaced by lives that are expendable. Hence why there has been no grieving, or indeed no real acknowledgement, of those who have died of covid. The overwhelming capitalist pressure is to ignore death completely

I cannot imagine a more quintessentially western late capitalist belief, than the idea that it is unhealthy to think about death

Are you posting for your audience or posting for you? You'll climb up out of those rookie numbers if you stop focusing on the numbers and start focusing on bringing your authentic self to the table.

Unless you are a vindictive pernicious troll, then maybe just stop doing that.
