I've only watched GitS, haven't seen the Netflix series yet and have never been able to read the original manga. picked this up, it's neat, I'm sad togusa looks more like a twink, but it's made up for by Batou and Ishikawa looking like a bear couple I can only aspire to

Somewhat relevant to this week's hubbub is this "Politics As Vocation" by Weber that is a reading for me this week. I've never read him before tbh but it felt topical
![A selection from "Politics As A Vocation" by Max Weber, beginning with the section titled 'A Gloomy Prediction for the Future':
"Well, it would be so wonderful if things we could turn out like in Shakespeare’s 102nd Sonnet:
Once upon a time spring was green and our love was new, Every day I was singing like a nightingale in the height of Summer, During the latter days the sound is fading.
But it will not turn out that way! The summer’s riches are not ahead of us; but the polar nights with an icy darkness and harshness, no matter what group will successfully seize power at present.
Thus, because where there is nothing left, not only the Kaiser [Wilhelm II] loses his rights, but also the proletarians will have also lost rights. Who among you for whom Spring seems to bloom profusely right now will still be alive when this night is finally passing?
And what will have become of all of you spiritually?
Will you become an embittered or a sour Philistine who has given up on the higher things of life and so simply and apathetically accepted the fate of the world, and your own job in it? Or did you take a third option, which is not an unusual or rare option, taken by people who have “the gift” for “self-persecution,” which is very fashionable these days, that is, to withdraw from the reality of this world and into a mystical world?
For every one of these examples, I will draw the following conclusion: Those people were never able to live on their own in the reality of the world and the demands of everyday life.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6bmqydxuazeqpr7m6clgcpfd/bafkreihmjf5g7fboyikjpprjmf77owikdnao2bk2j6sz2gsf5wuafvbfr4@jpeg)
