scarcity_of_the_self [none/use name]

If I blocked you it’s because you post the most godawful crap, just complete garbage about the general election and other stuff that clutters my feed. No hard feelings! It’s just you’re almost as bad as Google News!

So if you are here on an alt to argue with me, that’s cool with me. Not the slop.

  • Start making as many documents as you can of what you know. Expanded on a bunch of my 2021-2022 papers about the history of nonviolent activism recently. Lots of extra stuff to work with now due to becoming aware of the work of various critics of critical theory like Zhang Yibing and Critical Theory Workshop. Before I was just going thru domestic informant/whistleblower activity on a concrete personnel and financial etc links and corroborating it with service and deployment records or their past meetings with Kissinger etc, was going to expand it to Assange and the Arab Spring and FOSS stuff at MIT and that was gonna be my pivot back into Epstein with a little reprise about Chomsky, but now I have this whole historical vein of western intelligensia going back to Heidegger and Nietzsche to mine so it will take even longer hell yeah (longer is good, this is okay)

    Make a personal wiki if you like that kind of softwareyness. You will never be free of this shit if yiu don’t start drafting documents about it. I tried to put it out of my mind for like a year and it didn’t help, I just didn’t get any closer during that time period.


  • Because apparently the only contact you have with criticism of unions is the neo Laroucheite faction of the US compatible left. I imagine that by using the term “compatible left” or radlib this also calls them to mind since they go out of their way to antagonize others of the group. Left Nietzschian infighting. How depressing. They are truly incoherent maniacs, they agree with the IMCWP that Russia and China are imperialists (not globally low income countries) they just say that it’s good. They first said Heidegger was a Nazi then they decided he was great because he influenced thinkers of the Iranian revolution in Iran.

    More relevantly to this they say the labor aristocracy is only the corrupt leadership of unions. They don’t even want to talk about the global inequality/neocolonialism type theories that use the term at all.




  • My mom was just telling me she thinks we should stay occupying Iraq until they stop “calling us infidels”, but I can’t help but just roll my eyes and say alright then, the troops there are in grave danger and neocolonialism is hurting America too because the exploitation of the base of production by financial interests is increasing at an exponential rate which will inevitably hurt everyone not super rich. Even imperial lapdogs. I just leave out the imperial lapdogs part. I can’t bring myself to either lie to or cut off family. Definitely not keen to visit, knowing we would have to listen to that. Hell no!














  • Are they really that much better? I will admit it’s actually worth a listen since it’s not like listening in on the most depressing video conference ever, it is an actually structured and informative show made by people I consider well-intentioned radlib idealists. I listen to it for the same reason I tune into Al Jazeera building credibility to attack the “totalitarian dictatorships” backing Hamas, or willingly subject myself to John Mearshimer’s screeds. They bring something to the fucking table.

    Chapo was interesting a few years ago when they were clearly doing a lot of drugs and thought they were hot shit, but it was also wince inducing. There was also the potential of them becoming more widely relevant but instead they are just huffing duster wirh Chris Smalls and Tim Heidecker. Nobody should be surprised but at one point they did have this air of uncertain potential.

    This community you have formed is very funny. On the one hand you have Mark Fisher pilled extreme idealists who have begun to bridge their way over to the critical theory posting (please stop, but not my life so I won’t stop you), on the other hand you have geopolitics watchers who have independently realized that Mearshimer is a knucklehead, thinks every country seeks HOI4 style world domination and that the US is controlled by its suzerainties (LOL) when they hold every single industry by the balls and provide all military intelligence and marching orders.

    Those things would be more contradictory if people had worked things out without spending every single moment consuming or producing posts. This is almost four paragraphs about Chapo Trap House and r/ChapoTrapHouse so I will finish here adding, it is clear why this happened, you can talk about any facet of it for days.
