For me the term “shitbag [music / literature / culture / etc.]” is more of an aesthetic judgment than a moral assessment. It is a positive. In a world where everything seems increasingly saccharine and tidy, OG shitbag aesthetics are more vital than ever

without realizing it I have watched two films about cruel narcissists who are poisoned by their muses that are scored by johnny greenwood in the past week.

Looking to institutions to end the 'pandemic' concedes that pandemics are something that institutions can turn on & off. It represents an acceptance of their control, not resistance to it.

“God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How can we console ourselves, the murderers of all murderers. [. . .] What festivals of atonement, what holy games will we have to invent for ourselves? Is the magnitude of this deed not too great for us?”

the solution they have come up with so far is "hope that a global pandemic destroys the popularity of your opponent so that you don't actually need to campaign." feel like this has a replicability problem

It’s not that the Green Mill didn’t live up to the hype, they just play Jazz music for people who actually like Jazz

NFTs are a method of creating artificial scarcity. The world we wish to live in is post-scarcity.

Our praxis is the prefigurement of the world we wish to live in (which is why Occupy began with general assemblies).

And it's why we will never have anything to do with NFTs.

[Adbusters @Adbusters]

There is no such thing as an NFT community. What the "community" consists of is a group of people pumping up the prices of their useless assets in order to sell them to suckers who want to belong.
Real community is not predicated on exchange, but on gift. On connection. On love.
