i find it amazing that every academic i’ve talked to has no idea why undergraduates procrastinate the way they do, even though technically we’ve all been undergraduates at one point, but just decided to collectively forget what we were like back then for some reason.

@technology760iu well, that’s just a tad bit self-congratulatory, isn’t it?

@FOREVER_24yo 右派特有の芸術論ですよね、あれ
日本の場合だと本居宣長の物のあはれ論とか
芸術をも芸術家をもわざと政治と切り離し、まるで芸術創作をすると身も心も社会から離れ、空に飛んでいくと言っているような理論ですね

and it’s also an open secret the Japanese tend to expect Japanese-looking foreigners to abide by local norms more strictly than non-Japanese-looking foreigners, and the tolerance for the latter is rooted in the quiet nationalistic assumption the latter simply “won’t get it”.

the best way out of the “You look East Asian so obviously you are one of us” bias in East Asian countries is to speak to everyone in English.
also the “Oh, sorry, you looked Japanese/spoke good Japanese so I thought you were Japanese” thing the Japanese do is not not xenophobic.

@Workshops4Gaza there are weak points in national ideologies themselves that can be pushed to further the struggle against imperialism

[pigeon of minerva @MarxianReason]

@Workshops4Gaza and Anderson seems to have started with nations in general and built the theory backwards to account for reality, while Lenin (to my understanding) started with the reality of inequalities in and between nations, but I suppose what I’m trying to suggest is only that

@Workshops4Gaza sources of inequality, which would have to include capital, which is international.

[pigeon of minerva @MarxianReason]

@Workshops4Gaza Anderson’s whole argument that nations are communities we imagine by ignoring social inequality and pretending everyone is equal in the nation could be helpful here. The only way for that imaginary community to come to life would be through the systematic elimination of different

Liberalism is the totalitarianism which demands everyone be themselves and be responsible for themselves before the entity who demands them be so (the parent who demands we achieve independence, the state, the informal leader of a decentralized movement, etc.).

@mit0919Sahne if I remember correctly, Bergson’s philosophy was partly based on the insight from psychology that babies didn’t see the world through a subject-object divide at first, but developed that worldview later. Freud probably used it to build his theory of psychoanalysis too.

日本(と呼ばれている地域)の社会運動に参加しようとしている外からの人がいたらまず第一に日本の社会運動の中の閉塞性・見えないルールの多さ・息のしづらさに関して心配すると思う。

[pigeon of minerva @MarxianReason]

truer words have never been spoken

誰かが日本で社会運動をやりたいと言ったら心配してしまう。それは差別側や揺り戻し側の脅威ではなくて、運動内の息が詰まるような空気、ありとあらゆるところに張り巡らされた不文律のことを考えてしまうからだ。それが正直なところ。
