Patrick Lundborg who wrote Acid Archives (*the* book about 60s US psych) used to talk about Sphongle and some other contemporary trance stuff. He died a few years ago but I like to think he would have bounced before they had their ska punk years.

Kinda reminds me of that big article in the Ukraine thread about the digital frontier of war. This straight up sadistic laughing seems a piece with that - makes me think of Abu Gharib.

Israeli soldiers can't help but undermine Israel's propaganda efforts by making TikToks laughing at Palestinians and the carnage they've just inflicted I wonder if these will go viral and fuck Israeli legitimacy even more.

I guess the only virtue of these answers is they make me realise how much the anti-Trans posts are a similar insincere performance.

Next level hatred. His death seems apposite to the moment somehow? As Biden's support for Israel exposes the moral vacuum at the heart of US policy.

Ollie please just don't give him the satisfaction of answering

Fuck off

Maybe it's *kinda* true in a way - in that Trump reflected a very American tendency to isolationism, wants to pull out of NATO, wouldn't challenge Russia etc. Not sure about ME policy but more of the same even if he did blow up Solemani (stopped clocks etc).

So who's seen the Stuart Seldowitz videos? Its almost too on the nose. Unerring proof that those in the Foreign Policy establishment are actually racist sociopaths.

Fuck off Biscuits

Interesting documentation of a George Galloway associated group using the conflict for outrage farming:

Luka has taken it to the streets. He's outside Stamer's office whipping the crowd into a frenzy with incendiary sadistic poetry

The Postone stuff kinda points out the distinct quality of AS that sits with left wing politics - it's a naive critique of power/"the socialism of fools" etc. You get the same with the right of course, but it's more explicitly racist. Interview with Postone here...

My main contention that I think still stands up is the kind of Leftism Corbyn does lends itself naturally to conspiracism which then turns easily into anti-semitism. This pov comes out of reading (second hand I'll admit) the analysis of people like Moshe Postone, who says it's a perennial...

I am literally arguing rn on Twitter with someone who is trying to tell me Starmer is a Zionist who's funded by Israel. Might it not be that his (extremely bad) decision to whip against the Gaza vote was an attempt to appease Jewish sensibilities after years of evidence free assertions like that...

This stuff is so partisan also and yes I include myself in that. You can predict everyone's positions by what they think of Corbyn.

His only fault was an excess of virtue, right? "Yeah he was just too nice!" - rather than intransigent and thick with regard to criticizing allies who'd said dreadful stuff with regard to AS. My main problem with the kind of critique you've posted is it's such a disavowal of responsibility. I...

It's always somebody else's fault, Tea, remember. And yes, I want to redo the stuff the same way I want to punch myself in the groin.

Yeah, the anti-semitism stuff wasn't fake either. It was weaponised against him definitely as it was a weak point but he was hoist by his own petard really. He should have moved rapidly away from some key allies who said dodgy stuff early on but he was just too weird and proud to do so. Same...
