i genuinely wish the climate change deniers were right. life would be a little bit less crushing without the knowledge that mass extinction and death awaits us.

@eff_hey YouTube is basically learning everything from drama and film students. Now I’m sorry, I don’t want my understanding of philosophy, politics and history come from them

When in the same platform I can listen to an actual lecture by an expert

Your based and redpilled youth, sir

I'm very very sad tonight. I just learned that Stephen Biesty passed away in 2024 at 63... He is one of my favorite artist. Rest in peace.

They are calling it the most boomer quote of all time.

@thinkingheights @MacaesBruno These are post enlightenment movements that took parts and rejected parts of it but took so much from the enlightenment

The Soviet view of historical progress (sharpened by Hegel) would not exist without the secularised view of progress that the enlightenment brought

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@thinkingheights @MacaesBruno Note that nationalism, as in the idea of political organisation among nation state defined by a ‘people’ with shared civic values, is quite directly a product of enlightenment.

It was not at the time though nativist of reactionary in the modern sense

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@thinkingheights @MacaesBruno The modern far right actually often explicitly use the defense enlightenment values as a justification for their quality

Trump is ultimately just a sociopathic opportunist tho

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@thinkingheights @MacaesBruno This isn’t his argument. It’s a broader argument on enlightenment thinking being ingrained in our understanding of the world

@ThereSofie @stendhalist Tbh these days it’s often less affordable then https://t.co/AnLnJeD3fK which does not allow for all the bullshit rules and requires proper registration

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@RReanimator @Jonas_Ceika I feel this can give a sense of relief. It is feeling less likely that Trump will succeed getting a third term. But right now we are not actually seeing any push back materially

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@Red_Zombie10 @Jonas_Ceika But he’s more than that is the thing. He is fundamentally undermining USA democratic systems, and fundamentally rewriting international law and the global economy

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@Jebat117 @Jonas_Ceika Not just the third world even. Its impact over the next two years is absolutely catastrophic. In terms of food production and inflation. The USA has a much bigger buffer to handle this.

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@mrsjumpman @pngcartell @itishowtimebby @Jonas_Ceika I think a mass push back against trans people was a real threat tbh. It just isn’t remotely the biggest priority

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@Jonas_Ceika I mean that’s just domestic, globally he has causes crisis after crisis.

Creating the absolute lowest perception of the USA globally. He is openly interfering in foreign elections, blackmailing governments, and causes the biggest energy crisis in human history

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@gracecthdralprk @_glorianas Just Iran would have made him significantly worse than anyone expected. But of course, because it’s a slow burner, and Americans are the best protected from it, easy not to clock on

@prostgrad The building has basically no aesthetic or architectural importance as well..

[Martin Perring @MartinPerring]

@jessicasfault Critics are also humans with opinions and they are valuable for those reasons. They are not objective arbiters of taste, nor should they be. That’s my job

@stendhalist If you think it closes early in Italy you are in for a shock when visiting anywhere else in Europe..
