It’s pretty simple actually— Girard taught at Stanford. That is “the Ivy League level School in the Bay Area”— it’s really that simple.
crazy how Thiel went out and found the most random mid thinker to stan to really hammer down the contrarian thing but then all of San Francisco was like "holy shit dude. we do be copying eachother and shiet" and now they all think girard is this hegel type worldhistoric mind.

There are so many individual UFO50 games that should be raised to the level of e-sport. I want to see high level Rail Heist gameplay.

UFO 50 & Deltarune are the only interesting games on an artistic level that have come out recently. & UFO 50 is probably superior in producing more depth with 2 buttons and a D-pad.

It is a very odd thing for his work to be everywhere-- you will find his books at any book store these days, at least one, & usually multiple-- but nobody talks about what is in the books? Even Pynchon gets more substantive discussion. Very strange fate for a writer-- to be.

I have read most of Bolano's work, & he's one of the only authors who I actually get some intellectual stimulation from these days-- but outside of some very surface level analysis of the two "big books" (Savage Detectives, 2666) -- I never see anyone describing what he's saying.

This ties into another set of stories Bolano wrote:.
Bolano makes the case that Fascism & Sodomy are in fact the same thing. He writes at one point with the assumption that Americans & Europeans were in consensus on Sodomy (particularly heterosexual sodomy here) being a unacceptable-- but here we are in 2023 where it's all the rage.

There are a lot of Bolano stories in the collection "The Return" about washed up porn stars in the outskirts of Los Angeles in the 1990s. He describes the economy of pornography, the exploitation of the lumpen by criminals & businessmen. His metaphor for Latin America is a boy.

Communism is not about empathy. Communism is about proletarians ruling society with an iron fist.

No! Marx thought “empathetic positions” were a camouflage for class warfare!.
@Logo_Daedalus no, I'm saying Marx thought bourgeois socialism was an empathic position from humanists who wanted to improve the standards of living of the proletariat without changing the underlying economic structures. that doesn't describe Thatcher who was a ghoulish vampire.

“Empathetic position”— you literally believe sentiments are the base of politics— slogans are enough for you! Feelings! Empathy! Hahahaha.
@Logo_Daedalus this is the opposite of an empathetic position, this is Miltonesque greed based capitalism lmao.

Thatcher literally suggests “socialism” can only come about through individual voluntary efforts of the bourgeois— it is not the State, but individuals who must do charity work etc.

This guy is always in my mentions demanding that everything is as it seems— actually Thatcher was not any kind of socialist because she said she wasn’t! Simple! Socialism is when you call yourself a socialist! The enemy are not socialists! They are capitalists! Capitalism!.

Thatcher would describe herself as all of those things— so would every billionaire attendee of the WEF. Harm reduction is not Communism— it is liberal bourgeois socialism. A “true humanitarian” works a bourgeois job at the nonprofit, they don’t advocate for “statism” & “the
@Logo_Daedalus bourgeois or conservative socialism belongs to "economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics. " etc.
