Enjoyed this article a lot. I should read more theory.

"The struggle against totalitarianism serves to legitimate and transfigure the total war against the “barbarians” who are alien to the Western world."

"surreptitiously, the analogies between the USSR and the Third Reich with regards to the question of the one-party dictatorship are considered to be the decisive ones, whereas the analogies on the level of eugenics and racial politics are ignored or eliminated."

"The common theory of totalitarianism concentrates exclusively upon the similar methods attributed to the two antagonists and, besides, claims that they derive univocally from a supposed ideological affinity, without making any reference to the actual situation or to the geopolitical context."

At least "oriental despotism" has died out as a term.

Someone who has been fried on an ideological flat top grill for some time apparently.

Also, let's not forget Arendts racism.

Towards a Critique of the Category of Totalitarianism Already in 1951, when Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism was first published, the concept of totalitarianism had been debated for decades. And yet, the meaning of the term still lacks a pr...

This is the text I am currently working through. I always disliked Hannah Arendts totalitarianism cause it seemed to me like an obvious piece of cold-war anti-com propaganda. Which is true, but now I have a better idea how it developed.

My relatives are big on Hannah Arendt right now, which led me to read Losurdos critique of 'totalitarianism'. Which is really good. I should read more Losurdo

we don't see the stars as they are. we see them as they were billions of years ago when their light left their coronas and travelled the billions of light years it took to get to us, like old photographs. because light has a speed, all perception is of the past, which is why, officer, i didn't see t

If I could, I would also steal from the Louvre, though I'd personally prefer robbing the british museum.

I love being a transsexual woman. I wouldn't choose to be different, and I wouldn't even choose to be born a cis woman if I could. I like being what I am. Me. A trans woman and a lesbian.

It's the rest of society that needs fixing.

Ich stehe an der Bushaltestelle gerade fuhr ein Mann in einem Auto vorbei der aus einer kleinen Porzellanespressotasse trank als er an der Ampel stehen bleiben musste einfach Hände vom Lenkrad und an Minitasse aus Getränkehalter gehoben und dran genippt als wäre er in einer Julius Meinl Werbung wtf

Echoing this. The use of “psychotic” or “delusional” as a pejorative is extremely frequent. Bad behavior gets attributed to psychosis all the time.

A lot of people also wrongly conflate psychosis with psychopathy, which is its own kettle of fish.

I love my grandma dearly, and she is closer to 90 than 80, and she is trying, but travelling with her is making me dysphoric cause she keeps slipping up with my name and pronouns.

Yeah, that was how I felt as well.

"Palestinians overseas don't share Palestinian fundraisers!"

The ones on this site do. One of them - Lexi Alexander - got banned because the shitheels on here kept mass reporting her.

The pure, virtuous, masculine identity of the world-bestriding European is being sapped by the parasitic ideology of Islamo-Bolshevism, which must be cleansed from the body politic root and branch.

Eine Frau geht wütend schimpfend an einem Naziaufmarsch vorbei. sie ruft den Nazis zu: Ihr Gottverdammten Freizeitnazis!!! Jedes Jahr Führers Geburtstag feiern und jedes Jahr aufs neue vergessen, sich zehn Tage später eine Kugel in den Kopf zu jagen! Schande!

2020 wurde ich wegen dieses Cartoons nach kurzem hin- und her für Facebook und alle Metaprodukte auf Lebenszeit gesperrt, weil er gegen die Konzernrichtlinien verstößt. Wo die Richtlinien Nazis schützen, kann kein Platz für mich sein. Seither poste ich diesen Cartoon jährlich an Führers Geburtstag.

Molly Shah has done more for the Palestinian cause than any of you shitlib resisters have in your pathetic lives

"We should charge school fees, so the poors will appreciate their opportunities". No, you should be expropriated for that opinion,.

Abolish rich people.

Like usually, I only ever interact with them from a service perspective, not in a personal way. And hearing their opinions, I will do my best to never become rich. Lest I start arguing that the poors have it too good or something similarly heinous.

I just talked to some rich people. I really really hate them. Horrible mean peopl

The "risk assessment" of transition is always a scam. I'll even go so far that for hormones specifically they are so low that I'll stop telling people about them. There is enough out there that wants people not to transition I don't need to be a factor in that.

I really love this animation, young gaston and rene and heanne-marie, and their dynamic, as well as the way the body language of the soldiers changes with renes.
