I'm just a layman, I'm afraid. I've been expanding my understanding of literature and I frequently come across various references to philosophy, so I've taken some detours over the years and read baudrillard, nietzsche, plato, some marx, zichec or however you spell his name, fanon, etc. Almost every one of them refer to Hegel, so I thought I'd check him out.
As for my current understanding of dialectics. Iirc, everything is connected in an infininite Web of ever changing contradictions that negate or solve each other, giving rise to new contradictions to be solved and so on.
Probably wrong, but I'd like to get a better understanding.
It's almost as if rhetoric, debates, exposures, truth-telling and media consumption are just empty liberal rituals that can only serve to soothe oneself, and has absolutely no impact on real material life.
Middle class people's class position depends on them being reactionary and antagonistic towards their "inferiors."
There is nothing one can do to debate people like that, because to take you seriously, they'd need to realise their position in society as exploiters and beneficiaries of bourgeoisie exploitation as unjust.
Which is why they are the main faction for fascist recruitment, as then they won't have to feel bad about being parasites and can continue profiting from unjust labor relations.
I've leveled up my kitchen skills to an insane degree lately.
I'm getting jealous looks from my coworkers when I bring my sandwiches to lunch.
Lmao, Debra you paid 8 bucks for a chicken sandwich with barely any chicken in it. Mine has an entire fucking chicken breast and homemade aioli and tomatoes I grew myself.
The other thing in their favor was that they seemed to know where everything was. So they fired at the barracks and dormitories where we Cubans were staying and managed to kill the leaders among the first.
This feels like the most important part of the article.
Western imperialism's biggest advantage at the momeny seems to be their insane hyper-orwellian level of surveillance and intelligence.
It's hard to describe just how hard Denmark has sucked American dick these past decades.
The danes have done espionage on fellow European countries for many years for the US and have gone full on Patriot Act on their own country with such insane mass surveillance and crackdown on people's privacy, Denmark is basically a police state.
All to please their American masters. Only for the yanks to take over 99% of Danish territory. (Greenland is over 2 million square kilometres, while mainland Denmark is barely 50k square kilometres)
If this means the death of NATO and end of the century of yankee-worshipping in Europe, I'm all for it, lol.
So many people are completely divorced from any felt material connection to reality that you can just make up any kind of nonsense and pass it off as an ideology.
What's kind of interesting is that these nonsense digital ideologies don't even offer anything to the audience.
This could have been a triumph of pure idealism where you can just imagine yourself victorious and happy without any input from actual reality.
Instead, they can't even offer anything other than depressive suicidal nihilism.
If you're that detached from reality, you could just imagine yourself happy, in permanent ignorant bliss, but these fucking losers can't even do that.
