THIS IS WHAT AWAITS ME SATURDAY
judge jeanine reminds me of my moms
Left yourself wide open there
make them pull down some more
do it nigga
moms like in rap songs, not moms like two moms
I wish I could go to Boston Saturday
I think trump's pretty spot on in those tweets actually. outside the meta-context of political jockeying
the statues thing is ultimately less about racism or any other passing moral fad and more about destroying the heritage and cultural foundation of your enemy
like the english and the irish
or the spanish and the natives of the southwest
or sauron and those god damn white trees
Those are one in the same though
American culture historically had more hierarchy than none at all
definitely
but the argument is that the past actions of those guys were naughty, so we shouldn't venerate them
but it's not really about venerating their specific past naughtiness, it's more about the basic concept of knowing who your ancestors even are
Their actions were hierarchical
I see
the left would rather no one created identities they like from knowledge of their past ancestry
which, to tie in with your point, is a hierarchical act
but yes their specific actions were also hierarchical, which is an unpardonable sin
hey Amerika guys can I submit an article for publication
I'll write about this stupid statue issue
Also note that many of these statues are on public, not private territory
But the social media battle is being fought on private domain
hmm what do you mean by the second part of that
The crackdown on alt-Right dialogue is coming from corporations
Not governments
I think that is very significant
Because it may disenfranchise many free market capitalists
definitely. the left becomes more and more corporate. did they feel so defeated after occupy wall street that they said "can't beat em join em?"
anti-corporatism could become a Rightist discipline
Much like environmentalism
The opportunity is certainly there for both. Despite his coke addiction and plagiarism, Zizek makes some good points one of which is that "freedom" is sort of an illusion if all your options are shit
the "freedom" and "small government" crowd get way too fixated on those principles specifically and it leads them into some contorted and compromised positions
