Man those who whine about 'postmodern obscurantism' at this point are just telling on themselves. Like, there is so much amazing literature and helpfu...
Indeed, in this connection it's worth mentioning that the Nazi's explicitly looked to America as a model of how to implement state racism: https://www...
Yeah, I remember reading that when I came out. I'm pretty sure I even linked it here at some point. They're a great idea, but even then they would be ...
Literally the only thing worth mentioning about the whole "affair", before moving on to discuss literally anything else. Or to quote Adam Kotsko: "It ...
In point of fact they did default - or rather, they simply stopped paying, and the whole issue was held in abeyance, at least until after WWII. But on...
You mean: was the US just supposed to give up it's cash cow which had yielded over 3 times in repayments on interest than the principal of its loan? A...
Ah yes, the 'ol "I am completely and utterly ignorant about this topic so here's a cut n' paste from a propaganda website which I found after half a m...
Introductions to Deleuze are a mixed bag, although they've tended to get better over time, as the community has had more time to digest what is going ...
Correct. Which is why the Europeans did almost everything they could to be leniant when it came to enforcement of repayment, knowing very well the utt...
But for the US, whose ruthless pursuit of debt-claims in Europe after WWI virtually guaranteed continental depression and political fragmentation acro...
Sure. The US can stop funding terrorist states like Israel, evacuate its imperial presence across the globe, redraw its ridiculous trade treaties whic...
Well the US created ISIS so they're on the same side and objectively the US has enabled and carried out far more terror than ISIS could carry out in a...
There seems to be some struggle to identify the novelty of postmodernity here, but I would suggest it is to be found in an area which seems to be rela...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE0Xf3cHJ58 God bloody dammit Jordies make a point that I totally missed and now I'm even more mad - we literally have...
No, of course you didn't, you're simply parroting the blueQ line which, with nothing to say about the billions of dollars poured in from American corp...
The 'answer to the variance in the groups' is that an enormous majority of Americans are extremist lunatics who, incapable of admitting it to themselv...
In which direction exactly? Wealth inequality is higher than ever, you run the world's largest gulag system, corporate capture of government power has...
No. Significant change does not occur so long as the ruling classes do not feel threatened. If their conditions of life and social reproduction are no...
Yeah yeah, the organizers have been so tremendously successful so far. In any case you're right, hence my edit before your post :) The funny thing is ...
I can't watch that now but of course he's being used by Putin for propaganda purposes. That's what anyone would do. Assange exposed US war crimes thro...
I agree, but this thread isn't about that. If anything, the cruelty imposed on Assange is all the more reason why what the OP is about ought to be opp...
Yeah but you're naive enough to think that handing yet more power to a set of actors who have caused immesurable loss of life and acceleration of glob...
Wrong. This isn't some abstract argument over bookworm principles. This is about letting the most bloodthristy government on the planet work with the ...

On this issue I happen to agree. If Trump had moved to work with private companies to censor speech, liberals would have had cried and moaned like the...
Because the maximal horizon of US 'progressivism' amounts to nothing more than capitalism with a human face, where everyone gets to be exploited with ...
There is no left wing in the US. Just a bunch of effete liberals - all of whom are centre right - who confuse politeness and table manners for politic...
Sure, and I'm just pointing out that the kind of thing he describes - which to anyone with a modicum of comprehensive ability would recgonize as funny...
Or try like, most of Asia. Anyway, I couldn't ask for a better illustration of why this comedy can lead to problematic results: when even the particul...
Pfft. Typical American chauvinism. Someone tells you to your face that not everyone experiences masculinity in this weird fucked up way that Americans...
It's funny - it's a good clip. But still, it's like - when you live a world where that overwhelming anxiety of being seen as 'unmasculine' is simply n...
My own issue with that style of comedy is that sometimes - not all the time - the 'guts on the table' approach can be used as a kind of armor. It's a ...
I don't think so. Like, I hated Diane Keaton's character (love Diane Keaton tho). The way she was played was just pure male fantasy (as are all of All...
