in Ganz's piece he talks abt how the right in the US have shifted from a Gramscian to a Sorelian phase - it's not about "facts" & "logic" any more. it's about the wholesale deployment of narrative myth that acts as a powerful libidinal force outside of any quantifiable "truth".

The thing with car culture is that you create a social model where every human being is, by default, disabled and cannot meet their daily needs without a mobility device. People have a relationship to their car more akin to a wheelchair than to a train. That's a problem.

The historian in me feels the need to note that contests between cities and their rural hinterland are not new things and they do not generally go great for the rural folks.

I mean you can’t justify why the global south is poor and the capitalist imperial nations are rich without sounding racist.
Is it any coincidence that a large majority of anti-communists also happen to be racist?

Video games are low art because they’re the only art form I feel like actively wastes my time when I engage with it. I’ve never felt that way with a book or movie I got into on my own volition.

Cannibal economics necessitate that the price of commodities that would complement and enrichen existing access to basic needs is made inexpensive (through brutal exploitation of the Global South btw) while basic necessities and general public good are gutted and parasitized into a pseudo-luxury.

Oh, we already knew. “I have not found one single instance of a straight person risking, helping, protecting a queer and trans person during this history,” Newsome said. “Not a single one."

"Friends" were horrible about my attempt to get out of here. Had to give up.

racist tradcath has to be seen, I think, as its own form of heresy
