@ZohranKMamdani Zohran's campaign has the best ad game ever.

@SohrabAhmari 2/2 ......while The Left™ valorizes the morbid symptoms of digitally addicted plebeians cognitively impaired and socially liquidated by the AI tech that obsolesces their routine information processing wage jobs.

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@SohrabAhmari 1/2 As with the health and wellness partisans opposing the would-be biometric state and socialized medicine, the very offline cause might become a lifestyle choice owned by wealthy neo-reactionaries...

@PeterMoskos The real agenda here is the agenda of the "anti-racist" (feh) landed property owners and real estate developers... that handsomely subsidized vet is just a tool in this narrative

@elliot_sperber more like the inability to process any facet of phenomenological experience without smartphone mediation [correction]

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@maxajl too bad, against all odds NLR was proving to be the lone outpost on The Left™ less hawkish than Mark Milley and Marjorie Greene on the Ukraine War

@communecore That's the same K-YT who once admonished you for being skeptical of a student who cynically exploited her "trauma" to get a free pass in a course you taught! But yes, K-YT is consistently petty good on this issue. (as are many ex-ISO'ers)

@jwordfish @communecore And while I'm critical of the intersectionalist socdem electoralism that reigns in DSA, I volunteered for David Alexis' NY State Senate campaign this summer. So...

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@jwordfish @communecore I agree with you. While I don't advocate harshing on people just because they link to good articles in bad outlets, I made a conscious choice a while back not to promote COMPACT pieces even if I agree with them.

@jwordfish @communecore 3. The journalists and academics doing quality — if sometimes exaggerated — research on the post-left and neo-reactionary fusion, are themselves often instruments (witting or unwitting) of the woke imperium.

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@jwordfish @communecore 2. Many leftists who were not and are not cultural revanchists, have distanced themselves from the left because they are so put off by the social media-centric, 24-7, harm-and-trauma, outrage-athon antics. Meanwhile...

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@communecore ...where edgelord podcast entrepreneurs cynically espousing traditionalism (sic) mix with web3 speculators and touts.

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@communecore And now in this moment of profound late capitalist decadence — some features of which Askonas captures very nicely, algorithmic digital media "culture," e.g. — there emerge strange hybrids of post-leftism and post-liberalism, like the Dimes Square milieu...

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@communecore Also, and this gets less attention: green finance/environmental auditors looking to extract more value from natural systems with less industrial inputs might also *loosely* draw on the "degrowth" lexicon.

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

@communecore But this doesn't necessarily involve an overt use of "degrowth" vocabulary... it's more of an discursive ambience, as it were.

[SarmacChick @SarmacChick]

Streeck's revanchist king or Judis' wounded animal, thrashing about? I report you decide.
