Finally

I don’t have any holes, though

he’s right, mags. people and culture today that represent leftist ideology are experiencing a kind of practicio-inert created by the three hundred year environment of western capitalism, a culture that has poisoned people to such depths that they can’t utter a word without plotting and scheming against someone or something. the left is a frankenstein brought to life by capitalism planting the seeds of its own destruction. a slow, prolonged and systematic process of sabotaging the possibility for any genuine collective effort and sympathy for ‘the other’ through propagating individualistic ideology in every single facet of consumer culture. even leftists are selfish assholes now, because this ethos has been so meticulously planted into their psyche.

but you gotta fight fire with fire and hold your breath from the stench of politics until this thing resolves itself. the days of honest socialist coups lenin style are over. we have to do the whole ‘gradual reform’ thing, like a movie that’s three hours but shoulda been an hour and a half, tops, because all the actors suck and the plot is lame.

Sometimes, the work just does itself.

This is almost endearing. Like wanting to “help” by building huts in guatemala.

I’m hoping your misunderstanding of what the world was before capitalism is just the product of lack of imagination.

Though there is something pre-renaissantic about your thought-processes:

Expiation of sin. You build a hut. You go to a Thurnburginator march. You say something hateful about Trump.

That’s also what’s funny about Zizek. He’s not an anti-christian, he’s a Calvinist.

He sees the thing, with is stupid fucking Starbucks story. He sees it. But he only thinks it’s wrong because… It’s not enough expiation!

Like Luther bitching about indulgences. It wasn’t the blackmail that bothered him. It was that the blackmail did not ask enough.

hey you do what you can when there are no existing leagues of crafty socialists to join. ya know i actually became a member of a local anarchist group once, but all they wanted to do was march around with picket signs. i was like ‘ummmm… no. i’m going to go do something else. take care now. bye-bye then.’

but your effort to discredit my sentiments for the working class by pointing out how little i am able to contribute to their cause/conditions, as if i could choose to do more if only i ‘weren’t so selfish’, is impressive. that’s some slippery shit. well played, cappy, and true to the form.

… and it was the yucatan, btw. i wuz gonna join the zapatistas! fires machine gun and rears back on horse

we don’t do historical materialism at ilp, young man. that would be like trying to fit an aircraft carrier into a pond.

The fucking Zapatistas.

I think my ex-girlfriend is with them now.

Jesus Christ.

Anyway, you misunderstand my accusation.

Thaat’s the thing with you fucking gringos.

If you had the slightest inkling of what the monster of which the Zapatistas are a small part has wrought on us. It’s not about helping the working man. It’s about your “sentiments.”

Riding on horseback with a machine gun.

Jesus motherfucking Christ.

I used to hope you all went and got fucking shot. But then I fucked one of you and I’m conflicted.

But you, being a man, the least you could do is THINK THIS SHIT THROUGH.

My accusation is the opposite.

That you have surrendered your capacity for selfishness and relegated your capacity for thought, action, and power.

To the most disgusting contraption ever brought forth by mankind.

Why?

Because you know you live in a historical paradise and you don’t want to own it.

Sayonara.

Blegh. Enough.

I’ll just say, historical dialectics is about as complex a philosophical notion as hitting a rock with a stick. “Ooooo, it’s so complex!” No it’s fucking not. The reason it’s such an effective weapon is its retarded simplicity.

“That a philosopher condescends to rule is already an aberration to me.”

Yes, this is true. But what Parodites seems not to notice is that condescending to serve, or to explain one’s self in terms of what one does FOR mankind, is equally abhorrent.

This is not an age for Philosophy. One reason Nietzsche set himself so unreachably high is to prevent philosophy, a sort of dam. Today, philosophy would be a cruelty.

this is an age for to toughen up man and make him capable of philosophy, or for man to fail. For the last man.

Today, philosophy is still only practicable as twilight. Reminiscence. Of the past and of the future. The possible future. I don’t know tech stuff.

“That philosophy died yesterday, since Hegel or Marx, Nietzsche, or Heidegger—and philosophy should still wander toward the meaning of its death—or that it has always lived knowing itself to be dying… that philosophy died one day, within history, or that it has always fed on its own agony, on the violent way it opens history by opposing itself to nonphilosophy, which is its past and its concern, its death and wellspring; that beyond the death, or dying nature, of philosophy, perhaps even because of it, thought still has a future, or even, as is said today, is still entirely to come because of what philosophy has held in store; or, more strangely still, that the future itself has a future—all these are unanswerable questions. By right of birth, and for one time at least, these are problems put to philosophy as problems philosophy cannot resolve, and therefore must rely on promethean75 to be answered.” - derrida

Is a cruelty. On the weak, the unworthy. A selecting mechanism.

Hahaha. What could possibly be tougher than philosophy?

For all his excitingness, Nietzsche is technical at heart, German. Nietzsche was my stepping stone, for lack of a better word - the only man who ever wrote anything down who offered me a challenge, a nut to crack. Value Ontology is what Nietzsche worked to enable. Indeed it had slipped my mind in all our reminiscent playfulness that your approach has long been to look away from my true work, from my power, and imagine you could “liberate” me. I went along with that because, I suppose, I could use a break. Being what I am, I never put down the hammer without taking up some other instrument. Music has always come natural to me, but it is, like everything besides philosophy, too easy.

Once, you made attempts to prove yourself as a thinking man.

Is it so, really?

After all , immaterial dialectics have been around quite a while and the fact that it did not go down without a whimper, is proof positive, that so much blood, sweat , and tears it took, to transvalue it into substantial material.

Does this kill political philosophy and jurisprudence?

Sure, -‘real’-, down to earth romantic revival is an abject notion, which, a rotted out phenomenology, sent a message of fait accompli, but for real,
Such appearent shift, did not reduce the eidectic along with the phenomenal apprehension.
World war two, then, from an armchair, could be represented to young history students, as merely a test of conflicting ideologies.
Zizek, has been reincarnated by Trump, and he really has not read history, to ascertain that he will not have to repeat it!
And that such be missed in the twilight years of rationality can be illustrated by the persistence of racial and other kinds of de-facto oppressor/ sion of dejure states of political affairs.

One can argue of and for change toward betterment for all, but arguments cease to be effected when social reality does not support the change.

And, vice versa.
