We are real only by chance, and immortal without knowing it

"Today we are all social workers. What is this social, that is no more than work? That no longer even believes in its own existence in fact or in law, that believes only in its forced reproduction, in the framework of a market where it sees itself subjected."

-Baudrillard, FS

Social media isn't a neutral terrain. There is no "public square" in a digital space. This is and has always been hostile infrastructure.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

Elon Musk is determined to show us all why billionaires must not be given control of the public square. They will always suppress actual free speech to serve themselves and we must forge a path to public ownership of these spaces.

@DoomMedic Check your DMs.

[Vitalist International @VitalistInt]

AT&T: $1,956,953
Coca-Cola: $1,028,838
Disney: $203,350
Nike: $99,000
Procter & Gamble: $144,000
Uber: $148,000

That's what these companies have given to anti-abortion politicians and PACs. Not only boycotts, but actions at their offices, stores, warehouses, factories, etc.

@DoomMedic Well yes, of course! But if someone ever wants to print any copies then there is a version without typos is all I'm saying.

the purpose of taking to the streets is to overcome our fear collectively.

we do this by acting fiercely, by cheering on & protecting others who act in brave & dignified ways, and encouraging those on the sidelines to jump in & act

do not let yourself become a spectator

[Ill Will @illwilleditions]

you don't need to obey march marshals.

megaphone activists will try to speak over you, and ultimately to govern you. mock them.

concern trolls who bully you with appeals to "safety" want to pacify you. ignore them.

cause a ruckus. block everything. refuse to go home. attack.

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@DoomMedic Can send a pdf without those few typos if you would like!

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

Leftist and liberals obessions with appearing respectable and making distinctions between "peaceful protests" and "violent riots" is a huge reason for this verdict and the demonization of Huber and Rosenbaum.

Learn from this shit please.
No good cops no bad protesters!

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@WeBuyPinball @liedenbrock @NYCFirm @harvest_goth Yeah, but no one wants to go to a protest where nothing happens either. Protesting everyday waiting to be noticed is only a strategy for fatigue and burnout.
Again, ask UNL how their movement is doing and if the administration will be doing anything anytime soon..

"The use of philosophy is to sadden. A philosophy that saddens no one, that annoys no one, is not a philosophy. It is useful for harming stupidity, for turning stupidity into something shameful."

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@robin_VEVO Weird, I'm also reading essays from Ecologica currently! Enjoying it as well.

[will @EmoFoucault]

We shouldn’t reject democracy on the grounds that it isn’t an act of enunciative affirmation by some collective body.

But we can on the grounds that it historically cannot account for marginality. Which is where our final commitment ought to always lie.

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@a_shadeofviolet Check out his manifesto Atopias as well!

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@gaylovepotions Start with For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign! He starts to lay out some of his most important concepts there.

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@GeistGlitch Same! Well, as far as blog posts/bits of writing go.

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

@100yearsofskin @ptsdboy Agreed with all of this! Singularity against difference is another clear consistency as well. I would say he develops his concepts in complementary ways. You just have to read all of his work to notice the consistencies. Reading his interviews really helps make them clear too.

Baudrillard on the non-event.

From The Intelligence of Evil or The Lucidity Pact.

[Insurrecto Baudrillard @signsmustburn]

Here are some excerpts from "Requiem for the Media." Still a very important analysis here. We have to remember media is not a neutral form, no matter the platform or content.
