This website is now a complete gutter, every post riddled with clickbait replies, promoted tweets through the roof. It literally has nothing useful in it anymore, so I am now out for the time being, besides a couple of you. Tschüss!

@verdur_in Not right now, but everything in western culture is ripe for plucking from the smorgasbord of the past ™, including it's visions of the future. The right will have their day but it will be of the same form, born of the same narcissistic attitude integral to all w. life,

I was reading Christopher Lasch and realised that we don’t have a clear idea where the ‘culture’ of our ‘creative industries’ came from.

What happens when the wildly ignorant are right as the most astute make a great blunders?

As such no nation on earth, barely any humans themselves have come close to the selflessness of the truly holy, of Jesus: what would I sacrifice for the life of another?

[silent〰️scope @MIGRAN7]

The obvious, inevitable hypocrisy of the west on wars and whatnot (should be evident from the earliest western intervention in your lifetime, whatever that may be, if you've been paying attention) is really just the management of the oldest of human tribal impulses - that of

I believe the virus and delerium has thankfully finally ended. J2D2 has stopped being played in stores
