what we need is a Woke Jurisprudential Tradition that issues judgments about topics of Woke Concern that will be generally regarded as fair and legitimate. the social dynamics that have powered Woke so far tend to be escalatory in nature and lacking the character of law

[drumm colin @drumm_colin]

now this makes sense, because it's a tradition that is talking to marxists, and the way you gain cred in the eyes of marxists is to talk hegel at them. they respect that. so that's what black intellectuals are doing in this formative period for the tradition

I think libidinal economy to me is less about desire and sex and more about the power of ideas against all evidence that they don’t make any sense

[drumm colin @drumm_colin]

a lot of what's going on in black studies right now is this whole conflict between "optimism" and "pessimism" - basically one camp that wants to describe blackness as a transcendentally enslaveable object, and the other that wants to describe it as a noumenally free subject

[drumm colin @drumm_colin]

So it is my understanding that British academia recently carried out a project of precisely this kind - just do a wave of recruitment for black ppl and throw them into the existing institution without bothering to think about what desegregation actually looks like intellectually

[drumm colin @drumm_colin]

So in order to protect the integrity of the existing White Studies curriculum, you have to set up a separate thing called Black Studies. This is just "separate but equal" at the level of concepts and curriculum.

the primary objective for prison abolitionists needs to be grounded in material reality of what the institution is doing, right now, where it came from, and where it is going. US prisons actively need to go because they are counter insurgency, right now!

[kaffe @probablykaffe]

Canada uses its prisons to coerce more land grabs out of Indigenous nations so that it can sell more resources to US empire. Cuba uses its prisons to house people roped into sabotage, trafficking, and underground CIA-gusano cliques, *and educate them back into their communities*

The reversion to slop is the reversion to the mean of language. LLMs are mean reversion machines. So to combat them you need to invest in long tail antisocial weirdos

[Non Hand Banner @DiaryOfABrendan]

Humans are just massive credulity machines. If you need something believed, your best bet is to find a human. Just set and forget, with decent conditions the things will last 70 years and churn out beliefs until the day they die.

[kaffe @probablykaffe]

The US wants USians as dependent on Imperialism as the Imperialists are, so they never have to leave power. This has been working for centuries. This latter phase of US empire is interesting in how it entrenches parasitism off the back of China's development.

because i believe that Woke is the Truth, i think it's bad when people do Woke in a way that isn't truthful, because they are undermining its power and authority when they do this.

@kaibosworth hello, is there any chance you could spare a pdf? 🙏

@_richiegeorge You’re being too charitable; many feminists alreadyhave Hegel on their side, and in that sense slavery is nothing to keep in addition. Slavery is the point. Slavery is apart of the bargain; and, to many, is a good bargain, because it keeps men in check

my pitch for why you should study at mimbres school is that the way we teach you how to read from default attitude of hostility and suspicion is going to serve you well in the age of zero marginal cost slop, and you can't learn that at the university b/c they read too piously
