That I walked over a floor, is (or is not) something extra-linguistic, but that I walked over a floor is not itself something given in the state of th...

A useful distinction that Deleuze (and Guattari) make with respect to thinking about this is the one between interest and desire. For Deleuze, interes...

The latter of course: facts are not themselves "things". We attribute facts to the world, but the attribution is, precisely, ours. I see a stone; I wa...

Which is why it is a good thing that nothing I have said argues this.

Yet it depends on what we mean by element, or protons, or number for that matter. It's instituions all the way down. And up, for that matter, insofar ...

That we are what maintain the meaning of the term "gold" is that we determine whether or not this is gold. Being so, not being so. A fact nonetheless.

Because this is about as straightfoward an example of a contradiction as one could imagine. This 'fixing' is not metaphysical. It is not an act that, ...

Ah, I see the issue. The problem is that it is not one. It is objecting to something which is no way follows from the acknowledgement that all facts a...

Lmao you don't give a shit about any of this. Libertarians like you simply want to make sure these actions are privatized, nothing more.

Never heard Trump described that way but OK.

Tell me again how much you hate the state while fellating your selected head of state.

Most of the time libertarians like NOS are just mad they can't feel up little boys and girls without government interference, which is why they worshi...

This simply won't happen so long as the US retains its world imperial ambitions - ambitions which it not only holds, but continues to actively pursue,...

Let's goooo. Let's fuckin' do it. Hell yeah.

Perfect, entirely correct.

No, I still have no idea what you are talking about.

... could you quote (me) what you are referring to?

Um, yes? This is obvious? One could add that Europe continues to fund Ukrainian death day in, day out? What exactly is the point you are trying to mak...

Because Western imperialism exists on an infinitely wider scale obviously. And as it so happens, I don't think I'm arguing with any Russian imperialis...

I'm not sure what the question has to do with anything. I have no doubt that Russia is being driven by a defense of it's own murderously extarctive mo...

Oh my sweet summer child. You actually have no idea what happened after the dissolution of the USSR do you? Here's a hint. It was called, famously, sh...

The Western calls for, and attempts to institute "progressive change in Russia" is the direct reason why Putin exists, and why people are dying in Ukr...

Laissaz-faire is not even an ideal for capitalists. Any history of capitalism that doesn't come from shoddy ideologues will tell you that the ubiquiti...

Huh. It took until the resident fascist to actually mention the single qualifier for being on the left at all, let alone the far left. Expected, I gue...

The end of states and the reign of private property. But this is not quite the thread for that. One might begin modestly by calling for the US to fuck...

Yes, this is what conservatives always believe. It is always wrong.

Examples of advice for classroom practice: -- -- So uh, yeah, if anything thinks this amounts to 'math is racist' then they are pretty straightforward...

I took a gander through the actual materials linked in the article and .. it's really not that bad. Most of it has to do with pedagogy in general rath...

Putin wants his own regionally based, vertically run capitalism, operating by rules not commensurate with the Western neoliberalism. This is something...

Lol the US is literally ruled by clowns. Like, actual, singing clowns. Also how symptomatic is it that, precisely when the US finds it's global hegemo...

For anyone who isn't an aristocrat and a bootlicker for said aristocrats. Here is the bit where I tell you to read Fredric Jameson. Seriously.

Ressentiment is good.

Sorry I'm not a 13 year old boy. Also I have read more Nietzsche than you will ever have in your life so there's also that.

Maybe you shouldn't project so much?

Everyone here is posting weird stuff on a website.

I don't know. But the thing about mass murderers is that usually people don't ask "what is the alternative to mass murder hmmmmmm???". It is literally...

Good. The West acts with impunity, destroying democracies and assassinating world leaders all over the globe, while supporting dictators and mass murd...

It remains entirely the case that nothing the US says should be taken seriously. And of course this has been nothing but a bonanza for the American ar...

As someone capable of empathy and who is not a sociopath who enjoys cheering on dead Ukrainians for the sake of American imperialism, this is irreleva...

...not sending $33b in blood money, say? Do you really find this so hard?

No I do not agree that participation in an anti-democratic economically fascist region of control is a good idea. Also, I imagine people who like seei...

Are you going to make me say it again?

Bu what do you think grammar is shaped by?

Anyway, those who think: the best solution is just low level continued fighting in which a certain population of Ukranians are subject to ongoing arbi...

But all facts bear such deontic forces, by virtue of having a garmmar at all. Witt: "grammar tells us what kind of object anything is". And all gramma...

Well like all good poststructuralists I happen to believe the distinction between sex and gender is a largely bogus and a very dumb American idea that...

How very convenient for you that your concepts exactly align with your politics. It's almost like these concepts are totally arbitray.

I don't exactly know how to be more clear about this: The US ought to fuck right off forever.

Oh ho ho, are you saying that what concepts track differ based on what we decide? Shut up transphobe and don't talk to me. Edit: attributed quote to w...
