The Greens are not the party of the working class they are the party of the student activist, the bourgeois left & the Pro Palestine fever. There is nothing working class about the Greens.

@MaximumCities A strategy so good, they must have learnt it from their friends in the EU

@JamesHeartfield Or as if they secretly know that their project has nothing to do with the working class.

@Nina_Power_ Is she part of the Invisible Committee?

@verdur_in @Nina_Power_ Let me know if FKA Twigs is a worthy heir of the Catholic musical tradition or if we should rather stick to DJ Priest Padre Guilherme.

[Old fashioned Marxist 🗽 @laborrepublican]

Despite the idiotic conspiracy theories about the Frankfurt School peddled by right-wing cranks (like Gabriel Rockhill), "cultural Marxism" is a real phenomenon.

"Cultural Marxists" are like "cultural Jews" or "cultural Catholics": they don't believe any of the important stuff, but merely cling to some "cultural signifiers" to maintain a vague sense of group identity.

Even those signifiers are no more than distorted counterfeits of the old ways, tainted by the eclecticism with which contemporary sensibilities disguise their vacuity.

But of course, even the most unreconstructed traditionalists can only pretend to maintain fidelity to what has been irreparably lost. The Catholic Church could only counter the Reformation with its own internal reformation, and hence, modernization and secularization.

Likewise, the Judaism of the rabbis is only an observance of what has long since ceased to be: the true religion that ended when the Second Temple was destroyed, and the chosen people scattered to the winds.

People who think the that the pope's statements have anything to do with Baudrillard also believe that Baudrillard wrote the script for The Matrix.

@RosieKayK2CO @SeeRedWoman1 @ImagineBelfast Ever since the Gaza war artists have become outspoken against censorship when some institutions canceled engagements of 'pro-palestine' artists. This piece shows well the opportunistic nature of this mainstream stance and why there hasn't been a sea change for artistic freedom.

@jjcharlesworth_ @verdur_in Music's revelatory power at its best.

New music out today! For 'JOMO' (Joy of Missing Out) by Marco Simioni I have remixed his piece in a properly ascetic manner, taking only a 10 second sample that is barely audible in the original and making it unfold like a distant wonder. https://t.co/UxV3dNhOg5
