i could respond do them all, but don't really want to. this one: 4. so bent on dismantling the fascist police that they patrol their own "free zones" with automatic weapons (authoritarian and militant bro) what's wrong with this? people come to shoot up or beat up these kind of encampments. police will look away as much as possible. getting yourself hurt on purpose, by not defending yourself, isn't more leftist or something |

i don't know, i think it's quite easy to condemn israel's actions without making references to zionism, or saying israeli are the real nazis, or defacing holocaust memorials, or making lists of insufficiently pro-palestinian jews, or denying antisemitism, or denying a rise in antisemitic violence, or complaining about "philosemitism", or insistently calling netanyahu a "foreskinless hitler", or engaging in oppression olympics, or deeming all israeli citizens guilty of the state's action, and etc and etc. You say it yourself, antisemitism is endemic to the west. That includes the left. All the more reason to be careful. You can say "stop the genocide in Gaza", you can talk about Israeli war crimes without resorting to antisemitic tropes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Surely even you in your florid neoconservative insanity can see that equating "making references to zionism" with "defacing holocaust memorials" is an underhanded ploy? This is an important question since Zionism is the behind Israeli war crimes, ethnic cleansing, property theft, apartheid, etc. Zionism is also, perhaps more importantly, the glove worn by the fist of Western empire in the region. Even the Brian Becker hatchet job you linked upthread recognizes this. |

yeah, when i say down with israel i'm saying the whole country needs to be done over, because it's founded on zionism, which could only lead to apartheid and genocide |

I don't support nationalism in any form, but what's so special about zionism as opposed to any other kind of nationalism? Is it that it manifested as a response to oppression and statelessness? Would you also single out black nationalism in the same way for instance? |

"is this the world you want?" If I have to speak for the entire world, the best world has no humans in it at all. Certainly the world I want is not united under a single world marxist government, I'd rather personally be dead or would die to prevent it. If I'm just speaking about the life or culture I want though, well.... late 90s through about 2010 US was way, way closer to it than what we have now. At least people made cool shit. You wokelings have never, and I mean *never* written anything worthwhile. Not a script, not a piece of music, not single good idea in the writers room. You completely suck and I can't wait for your reign to end. |

it turns out. I was a libertarian, or held those beliefs on my own terms before I ever knew what a libertarian was. I used to hate the right. They were trying to censor Mortal Kombat. It was THEIR fault television was so sanitized. It's unfathomable to me that the far left is actually WORSE in this regard, but it happened. The far left is more fucking annoying than the far right. I really, really, really, reallllly don't like what you're selling me. |

You're sounding very self-centred but I doubt you're actually this unempathetic in real life, right? You don't actually think the problem with the world is that TV is bad. Like sorry I'm not trying to scold you, I'd just like to have a conversation beyond the rote, broad culture war dismissals that don't refer to anything I've actually said. |

Awww, but Israel's atrocities are so little, and besides, everyone's doing it! That's right. The deciding factor is never the fact or scale of atrocities. Countries have been invaded, balkanized, bombed into the stone age, governments overthrown, for a tiny fraction of Israel's well documented atrocities. The deciding factor is whether recognizing the atrocities and taking action is of strategic importance to empire. That much of the world now recognizes Israel's atrocities is a clear indication of the current weakness of empire - militarily, economically, ideologically. |

I have nothing mean to say big! Those are both solid amateur outings. They both sound good. non mean nitpicks? big happy dog- sawtooth synth could use a bit of variety or knob twiddling to give it variation. Even just the volume slider. The sweet god-pads that come in around 1:30 are drowned out by the saw. Nice sounds all around though. stalag 17- I just want the drums brought out a bit more, but not much else. Now I'd ask. Who made this? Was it a fresh faced, young big a few years ago? a young man clearly inspired by afx? maybe someone who would have acknowledged that well, THESE tracks arent political statements? Or was it the post-modern big who adopted crt and says a minority cant be racist unless it's internalized whiteness? lol. This big tripled down on spending his time on things like breadtube and changing his flag to whatever the current progressive talking point is. Does THIS big MAKE anything interesting? Or does he just churn and regurgitate in his cocoon until he's reborn a moth of pure NPC? It's a genuine question and not an attack. |

Empathy is a weird thing. I certainly possess it, for my friends, family, peripheral acquaintances (even all of you here on XLT, i'd legit be very sad if anything happened to any one of you). Even freakin bugs, I do not like to see them suffer. But they have to be somewhere in my vicinity. A slew of people being killed half the world over, holding beliefs that arent relevant to me, living in a system that I'm not forced to be a part of? Well, let's put it this way. 100 people dying today in Israel or Gaza elicits about as much empathy as 100 people dying May 16th, 1845 from the Potato Famine in Ireland. Or May 16th, 1145 from the Crusades. Or May 16th 2245 from world war 5. They're not here, and if I tried to be empathetic to everything, my brain would short circuit. I don't want to (and cannot) solve the world's problems. I want to preserve what *I* love. I understand the ridicule for "muh television." Tony called out the same for "muh videogames" when I pointed out China's complete fucking horseshit censorship of them. Fuck China. But I don't care. Good games, good art, good music, these ARE worth more to me than human life. They're what lasts. Without bravado or bluster, I would die myself to preserve Twin Peaks, or Star Trek TNG, for the people who are like me that might have also loved them. Like it or hate it, I'm being honest. |

Myself if I had to choose between you and any sort of cultural artefact I cherish, I would choose you because you're a person and it would be wrong for you to die for something that is of comparatively little value. The real fun in art and culture is in the process anyway.

with a bit of imagination you can make this viral video of this great harpist busker, political "What happened to old people in the UK?

I noticed that people often have empathy but not compassion. I’m chronically ill, it’s serious, but I have good days sometimes. But I notice people have empathy but rarely compassion. They wanna fix me, give me phone numbers, names. Even ducking diets. I’d much rather some compassion than this attitude that screams “oh if you re ill it’s your fault or energy or chakra alignment…” I’d rather a hug or a sincere smile and some sympathy. |

I’ve heard it all. Even that it’s caused by a past life. Someone will ask how I am, someone I haven’t seen in a while, and I just won’t be honest anymore. You can tell someone your head fell off and they’ll ask about your diet or past lives or if you know this really great healer that got rid of their verruca etc… well meaning but we’ll meaning bull shit with no real compassion. |

ugh, i see this all the time, it's infuriating. i think the kindest way to see it is that people don't know how to deal with the reality of chronic illness, that sometimes a problem doesn't have a solution, and this is the best way they found to cope with it intellectually, maybe they have a miraculous solution and you just haven't thought about it yet. in reality it feels so fucking dismissive lol. if you think meditation or some charlatan can fix me that tells me you don't think my problem is real. |

or worse really, they want you to feel like your problems are your own fault. people really don't know how to deal with the chronically ill and the disabled. they don't want to make space, they only want to solve it away. |

TD this'd be like the third time you equated me with someone who lives in a disgusting hovel! I mean, maybe "emotionally" I'm dirty, since I don't accept your communist premise, therefore bad I'm a person. But not really in any physical space. I can only swear on my mother's life that I'm probably a bit above average at keeping things neat. I mean I can let dishes build for 2 days or soemthing, but I will reach a breaking point fairly quickly and do them. I do laundry/bedsheets every week and shower probably every other day. My cooking space is very sanitary. My toilet and shower are clean (these latter two thx to wife). And my wife is so fastidious with cleaning that she borders on OCD. We run a clean ship! Now I will admit IS me a bit. I'm a sloppy packer and I do wait to the last minute, and I can be lazy aboujt unpacking. That's the only one that rang true. |

the title sounds good, but Dugin... what this comment on /r/sino says: He's a fascist and, therefore, a piece of shit. No matter how much he admires China. Nationalism is a disease that must be totally eradicated. Humanity is one. Borders are a remnant of a classist society. We need a post-nationalist world. A postreligious world. A world beyond the Western ideas of race, etc. that divide us. Anything that artificially divides humans is to be rejected. Particularly class, religion, nationality, and race. The idiocy of admiring socialist societies while espousing fascism cannot be overstated. These two ideas are totally antithetical. Socialism stands for internationalism, anti-religiousness, global unity, social harmony, the liberation of the working class, the exaltation of education and labour, constant self-criticism and self-improvement, constant progress. Especially the internationalism is a key aspect of socialism. Dugin rejects everything about socialism, he rejects everything that made the Soviet Union and Communist China so great. His idea of socialism is what Western fascist propaganda claims socialism to be... yet instead of rejecting the propaganda he says "Yeah, that's amazing!" Who is he to admire China? Admire what? He hates everything that made China great. What a confused guy. |

i guess the interviewer agreed beforehand: i won't mention the Ukraine if you don't mention the Uyghurs it's great that it's not just Western hegemony anymore. but this multipolar world, as he calls it, shouldn't be an end goal. the end goal should be one earth, on people. no more borders. i don't think Dugin wants that this would just make him a nationalist. but he's also a fascist, this interview doesn't show this. not directly. but it's stuff like, in russia: lgbt+ repression. journalists being killed. as well as opposition leaders. creepy youth movement and other goons etc |

lol sorry, hit reply accidentally the on this is v interesting Dugin of course is a complete shit. Also very stupid. I've tried reading his books and they're unreadably boring and dumb. Fully expecting China will be the dom and Russia the sub in this relationship. CPC leadership is full of Marxist scholars, to say that they're out of Dugin's league is a massive understatement. If Dugin reads some theory and gets a clue and recants his dumbass ideology that will be hilarious. More to the point though, globally today the main contradiction is imperialism and class solidarity along those lines is a far better predictor of common interest than ideology. Wondering if has been fully translated yet. |

The one world stuff is a little premature, since the strongest current force for unity is the oppressive rules based order. No one wants international unity under the iron fist of empire. Well, some want it. Under real circumstances, and not in the ideal world as we would like it to be, there's going to have to be a period of national liberation in the oppressed nations first. Dialectics, my brother. |

The website is just YOU. It's your space to be an individual. It's warm, it's cute in places, and it has good vibes. Your drawings, while maybe not high in "practiced artistry" do have character-- they have little spirits in them. I see this site as more of an old school scrapbook than a cohesive work of art. I don't speak french so parts of it were inaccessible to me personally, but I certainly get the jist. I see what catches your eye in the photos that you post. I translated some of the dreams and they were concise and told me a little bit about you as a person. Oh, there might be a political cartoon or two (capitalist car heading towards some kind of wall), but not much. This is the work of an individual person, raised in an individualist society, effectively expressing their unique individualism, and that's as political a statement I'll make about your space. Most of this art is, I would say, a-political. I imagine you slip into a happier place free of most of that shit where you snag ideas out of the free, creative ether that swims around us. Now, if I said that I don't perceive the website as a singular, cohesive work--- well that isn't true for the music you linked. Your Christmas Album (and I'm only assuming you made this), IS cohesive, and SUPRISINGLY good. Surprising because I've not seen any of your spam before, and I most certainly would have clicked it. Your melodies are varied, interesting and professional. Unique. Uplifting but sometimes you pitch all your chords down into a weird state of decay, which is pretty awesome. Videgamey, multicolored, and psychedelic in places. I really genuinely dig it. Cool drums too on a few of the tracks (ie Lut12NoL which reminds me a bit of the music from Terraria). Mum and Mouse on Mars vibes here and there. Joyeux noël is my favorite track. Alright well that's about all I have to say. Thanks for sharing. |

Thank you I really appreciate it! The website I don't think of it as a work in itself. It's just my personal website. It's defiantly not about branding or promotion or networking. It's my little space on the web where I can put up things that I think are cute to share without elaborating much on it. Just a little contribution, a little piece of human culture. I think people should have personal websites. I hate the for-profit web because it all looks sad and cold and it has awful incentives so it always becomes dominated by the worst cultural parasites. I used to like Youtube when it was just random people uploading birthday videos or whatever, etc. Now it's sad. So that's my dream. My political dream. I want people to do things for their own sake instead of creating content. I want people to be ends in themselves instead of means to an end. Capital treats all of it, all of us as fungible. I won't have that. I want people to cooperate and achieve goals that benefit everyone in the most rational and ethical manner. Work together on real issues instead of compete and waste and fudge numbers to extract the most abstract value out of human labour. I think we can do so much better. The capitalist car is actually just something I drew as a way to make fun of some online person pretending they didn't understand some other person's metaphor. I also pasted the signature of a Charlie Hebdo artist in the corner, as a gag. I think it was all an amusingly perplexing thing to do and it is even more so out of context. I'm not really interested in art that's unambiguous and didactical. I like ambivalence and strangeness. I think my ideology is reflected more in the process that in the things I make themselves. I wouldn't make something gratuitously meanspirited. Anyway, thank you truly! I hope you appreciated this deep dive into leftist art. |
