"a reader of all philosophical and theological who cracks all codes, deals with all provisos and reads a future into texts" - Cyril O'Regan

I’ll toss you guys a little no holds barred schizopost in the name of our new age of “free speech” (the “guerrilla scholarship” will still take some time yet). it is Pietro Verri of the Italian Enlightenment who explains in most exemplary form the bourgeois faith for which

Nietzsche is Dark Spinoza in the same way that Marx is Dark Hegel. If you take Spinoza or Hegel too seriously, at worst you’ll just piss off everybody you talk to. If you take Marx or Nietzsche too seriously, you might start a terrorist organization.

the current Nietzschean revival among young men is so manifestly demonic that I don’t know how people tolerate it. at least read Bataille or something. all these BAPists are basically total brutish animalistic narcissists with hardly any capacity for thought who want to be elite,.

girl PLEASE READ LACAN. for the love of God. none of these “mental illnesses” are real. it’s all just variations in the topological field of the erotological relation to language—psychiatry is a biopolitical scam designed to extract insurance money and market pharmaceuticals.
I have to say, there's this subculture of I guess "mental health" accounts that I actually think are like, extreme infohazards. Got diagnosed w adhd/ autism this year and realized I'm prob dyslexic which is why I can't spell at all without spellcheck - I feel like, had we.

If you want to rescue a culture that has largely descended into an addictive hedonistic consumerist spiral, I think some kind of religious metaphysics is required, mediated by modern perspectives, and groups like AA understand this. This is really how my philosophy is oriented.

the most fundamental metaphysical decision may be choosing to see the world either as a presence inscribed into an absence, or as an absence holding back a presence. presence privileges the past, the given; absence privileges the future, the possible. must absence be mournful?.
in his treatise on cosmogenesis (1617-18), occultist Robert Fludd depicted the universe of unformed matter (hyle) as a single black square, "as a black smoke, or vapour, or a dreadful gloom, or the darkness of an abyss." God then inscribes a circle of interiority—the universe

I am single again, after committing to spend my life with someone, still knowing I guess how fragile it might be. If love finds me again, it won’t be in the same way. I’m risking it all to cut myself off from simplicity; my neurosis is too dire otherwise. I have to live my cure.

One of the most surreal things for me is reading how Deleuze & Guattari, and also Derrida, talk about Lacan's theory of the signifier. They're terrified of this concept, for what reason? The critique of the signifier and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race 😔.

Deleuze warned against getting caught in another’s dream, but our dreams aren’t as different as all that. The more you separate yourself from others’ dreams, the deeper you sink into empty repetition of the same. It’s the shock of the other’s fantasy that awakens true change.

It is easy to say “forget Žižek,” but you learn so much just from putting in the effort to develop a rigorous critique of his ideas; I have little patience for attempts to gloss over the significance of his contributions without working to really understand what is at stake.

fascism is NOT just male insecurity (though that is undoubtedly a major part of it). this is erasure/whitewashing of the crucial role that women (like Rose McDowall of Strawberry Switchblade, pictured here with Boyd Rice and Douglas P. of Death in June) have always played in
It's all gender. Fascism is male insecurity, from top to bottom. They want big strong men in big strong factories dating weak little women who can't leave. That's the fascist dream.

The essential problem with the left today, on both “authoritarian” & “libertarian” sides, is a total failure to understand this (objectively true & demonstrable) psychoanalytic thesis: repression entails libidinal investment. What you hate & struggle against also constitutes you.

Nietzsche had ressentiment towards Christianity. he was just mad that he didn’t understand the Holy Spirit. all the Romantic vitalism stuff is just cope for alienation from the Spirit. his dad was a Lutheran priest—Nietzscheanism is unfortunately the endpoint of Lutheranism.

The abstract opposition of “antithesis” to “thesis” is NOT Hegelian (it’s from Fichte). For Hegel, contradiction is the immanent essence of what it negates (more a “superthesis”). The “synthesis” is not putting two things together, but a sort of post-reversal re-origination.

in my opinion you can go into the Phenomenology raw if you have this
@Sacrifice_Isaac @tenshi_anna Once one has familiarised himself with Spinoza, Kant and Fichte, the Phenomenology may be a slow burner but it won't be a nightmare. And I don't feel like there is a better choice for Hegel.

Overall having a psychoanalytic explanans is much more sanity-preserving than having a political explanans. For example, instead of treating every structural perversion as a latent fascism, you can interpret flirtations with fascism as poorly sublimated perversion.

why is Sublimation the foundation of Civilization? this is what the brutishly feminine Nietzsche bros won’t tell you—civilizational excellence is not about being a blind animalistic warrior who is a slave to immediate biological drives, but rather about a measured and masculine

I don't think melancholia is something to be fought. I think it's a signal to be heeded. there's a different way of living on the other side of the melancholia but you have to pass through it, and we don't allow ourselves to, we just stuff it down to go on doing the same things.

I could call myself a “post-Marxist,” but I think everyone calling themselves a Marxist today is a form of “post-Marxist.” Rather than shaking off the Marxist label *or* shoring up our perfect Marxist bona fides, I think we should show why modern Marxism is already “post-Marxism”.

these Milady retards think their Gnostic Luciferian nymphological theurgy will allow them to take over the halls of Power, but the problem is that in willing Power to such an extent—treating the world as a Cosmic Joke, a grand Game where everything is disposable—they actually.
You know you could also choose to read everything you encounter as tongue in cheek and break through the ultimate matrix - the performative and recursive nature of thoughts - and finally experience the bliss of being in tune with the universe as it actually is - a cosmic joke.

Here’s the REAL trvthnvke: Lacan destroyed philosophy just like Hegel did. As Glenn Magee argues, Hegel was not a “philosopher” in the Platonic sense, chasing after Sophia in ignorance. He was a Hermeticist, affirming the immanent attainability of a self-relating system of limits
