i'm very suspicious, it's not a good trait, partly projection

I doubt it's possible for most people (I think it's impossible for me). Strategies are commonly more complex than simply transgressing or adhering to boundaries. Traits you pick that are specifically designed to surprise and remain elusive, forced eclecticism e.g. It's always part of it isn't it

Ed Harris2 months ago This song takes me back to that summer not only it's a hot summer song I remember this girl name Elaine that used to have a huge crush on me but when got with this dude that I knew that kinda crushed me Hot Summer '84...

well there's something absurd about it that perverts a fundamental rule and mocks some basic sense of coherent cultural meaning can't quite put my finger on it

but yes, Denmark is the middle class of the world. well, it's really the high upper middle class when you put it like that

the act is basically picking a low income job and wearing clothes and music and exhibiting values that signify a working class identity, when you've been born into opportunities and privileges that make money more easy available to you. the act is acting like you don't want the money maybe

the video is a case study in trying to use the format of the day as a way into some sense of kinship with a person like that. there's something intimate about a person's day. i caught a little bit of it but it's annoying because it's clearly not a real day, it's all set up isn't it

Do you like him Version?

yeah maybe

Of course, I'm talking about what is deemed interesting culturally right now, not what is genuinely interesting. I agree 100% that there is a reason why white people adopt irony. Luka had a quote in here from a Prynne interview once that's applicaple. Something about how you can put forward...

I'm dying to express something about myself, I'm daydreaming about going to to some corrupt destitute country and risking my life trying to help people for 5 years so my voice becomes substance

One of the reasons why being an 'ally' is so popular is that it allows white people some vicarious form of earnest expression by proxy of whoever's case you're advocating

Honestly what's there to express with sincerety for a middle class white man? It seems horribly lame, something to be dunked on on Twitter.

I will try to read it after work but right off the bat, I'm wary of any philosophical treatments of 'culture'. Don't see how you can do that without abstracting away what it's really about.

It's so ridiculous that one. Good example of how this monomaniacal fixation on theory and language pulls minor rifts into unbridgable gaps. Two camps who in the grand scheme of things are way more allies than enemies, propped op against each other in a neverending battle for the one and only...
