Good. Proud misogynists forfeit that chance. And if anyone is offended by the way misogynists and their apologists are spoken about, good. That we are...

What's shameful is spinelessness posing as principle. Misogynists discriminate against every second person of our community. Those who cry over them a...

No quarter for misogynist lowlifes. Good and uplifting.

This is odd. Surely we express opinions for all sorts of reasons. For fun. For sociality. For getting others' opinions. For challenging oneself. For c...

I've not read this, but one of my favorite texts on ethics of all time is the 3rd(?) section of Stanley Cavell's The Claim of Reason, where he brutali...

True - but I take this to be a commentary on relative aridity of most epistemological approaches rather than anything.

The perplexity about self-reference among philosophers has always stuck me as hilarious. As if language ought to be up to the artificial standards of ...

There's niche band of philosophers - John Haugeland, Joseph Ruse, Rebecca Kukla - who take exactly this track of blending Heidegger and Sellars and it...

Making shitty memes is the politics of the proletariat. Maybe instead of sticking up for bloodsucking politicians consider putting away your high-nose...

It just takes one dude in a basement yo. And 'civic' doesn't mean 'doing everything according to the law' - its why disobedience can be 'civic'. And y...

Ah yes, MLK, famous democratic party activist, known best for his electioneering and campaign contributions.

I love that it is inconceivable to you that anyone can do anything that isn't sucking up to power.
November 18, 2021 at 04:12
Damn - although this is a commentary on the state of mainstream miseducation more than anything. The EU from its inception has always been a neolibera...

Is... is this news to you?
November 18, 2021 at 03:12
Oh dear. Looks like someone's never heard of direct action, nor can they recognize it when staring at it in the face. Some homework for you.
November 18, 2021 at 02:27
I'm a big fan. Probably because they don't reduce activism to 'petitioning those in power to act on their behalf' - and in fact actively disavow that ...

Yes the Australians probably voted against Trump. Very good. The same Australians who highlighted "not choosing the give away political agency to a sy...

Yep. Australia's servility to the US is pathetic and shameful. On the other hand, my freedom from getting mowed down in the street by random libertari...

No doubt you had no such reservations about Trump's $110 billion dollar arms deal with the Saudis back in '17. Nor his more recent $23 billion dollar ...

Who knows. Probably the future Australian population when he's done with them.

Oh my mistake unconditional votes which totally don't count as unconditional support as far as they're concerned ha ha what a big difference silly me.
November 16, 2021 at 02:10
And I suppose they give soooo many fucks about people who will vote for them no matter what too. That other very well known mechanism of accountabilit...

Have you met American politicians? Or frankly, politicians in general? You keep harping on about the 'real world' - yet it's clear you've never seen o...

Mmm, your point wasn't at all that one must, despite it all, vote for Joe Biden, because not doing so would be like giving up on the civil rights move...

It doesn't exist in any ancient useage of the word either. In fact outside of your fringe fabrication, it doesn't exist at all. You're of course welco...

A perfectly viable choice might be to shoot both in the head. Nonetheless it is good to know that in a fight between Goebbels and Hitler, you would ha...

You brought it up, brother. Just as you can't seem to stop talking about Zizek (are you OK? Did Zizek hurt you?). Or Trump ("Goebbels is better than H...

Depends on how willing America is to fight for what scraps of Empire she can continue to exploit. If the US regime is smart, there will be no hot conf...
