Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.

I'll bet 10 dollars this is in Northern California

Sure!

Okay, so don't start with SotS. The Situationist International did a lot of other writing that covers similar ideas and being familiar with those will help you parse SotS. It'll also be a fun read.

Then, make sure you're reading the Knabb translation and not the Perlman translation. It's better annotated, so you can know when you've come up against a cheeky hegel reference or something. He also suggests an alternate chapter order that starts with easier chapters.

Also, don't be afraid the skip stuff or just let things wash over you. If there's a part you don't get, just treat it as a Koan an let it wash over you.

Finally, you can't really understand it until you've collaged ads into councilist propaganda or taken mushrooms and wandered through the city without a destination.

Recent increase of shoplifting rhetoric is due to the inclusion of hexbear.net/c/Nagarjuna

Derek Chauvin getting stabbed by a white guy who looks like Santa and is a member of a Mexican gang really feels like a cumtown bit

You should never bargain from a position of weakness. The Republicans want extreme gestational limits. So the democrats say "no gestational limits" because they don't want to legitimize their opponent's position.

If you walk into the room saying "just a few commonsense limits" you get bargained down to extreme limits. If you start with "no limits" then you get bargained down to "just a few common sense limits."

they generally fall into two categories

You're forgetting me, shoplifter of principle, coming out of the store with as many stolen goods as possible as both protest of and action against the commodity form

 

picture only semi-related.

I just got in an argument with my boyfriend. I said I don't feel joy very often. He said that means I'm depressed. I was like, no, I feel content pretty often, it's just joy that's rare.

Like, I'll feel joy at a good concert or on top of a mountain or on psychedelics or another department joins the union at work, but it's like a sometimes thing. I don't just like go around life feeling joy at work or at home or whatever.

Like, i'll feel happy or content when I'm with friends or when I drink the perfect amount of coffee, or playing guitar, but joy is special.

Is this a temperament thing? am I depressed? Do we mean different things by joy? What's going on here?

 
 

He's got this idea that if society is saying "all war is good, all glory to the victors" then people will respond with a discourse that says the opposite, like "all war is bad, woe to the victors" and only after move to "there are some just wars"

I think he brings it up talking about the Mo-ists in Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value and brings it up again (maybe not by name) talking about west coast people and whether they forage fish or acorns in Dawn of Everything

This is what raking climate change seriously looks like

 

One of the nation's biggest unions is coming out in favor of the 32 hour workweek. This is huge. It's people with real sway, real power, and a real platform saying it. It's morning for labor.

 

Libs are getting banned too fast. They should get a little time to demonstrate whether or not they're here in good faith, and a little time to get dunked on if they're not.

Let us play with our food before we eat it.

 

I know it's /r/worldnews but Jesus fucking christ.

 

Most "fashion advice" is catered to either rich people looking to waste money, or midwesterners white collar workers trying to fit in at the office.

But if you go out in public, no one dresses like that. They're wearing a lot of canvas, denim and plaid, lots of face piercings and tattoos, hoodies and beanies. On the fancier end, you'll see oversized flannel jackers and dad sneakers. On older people it's a lot of carhartt and Patagonia.

Out in the suburbs younger people wear athleisure, and older people wear cargo shorts and t shirts.

But when you look at style guides it's like "your guide to chinos and blazers" but only the most obnoxious finance and tech bros wear that shit.

Where do you find style guides for normal people?

Just thinking we need fashion advice relevant to this site's core demographic.

I'm Serious. Tell me to wear dickies, put cigarette lighter heads on my hat, and scribble on my black vans in white out.
